Lay Analysis
Lay Analysis: Life Inside the Controversy chronicles the history of nonmedical analysis in absorbing detail. It begins with the events of 1910 in Europe and America that initiated their divergent attitudes and policies regarding lay analysis, proceeds to the unfolding struggles over this issue on both sides of the Atlantic, and reviews the halting efforts of the APsaA, beginning in the 1950s, to reassess its opposition to lay analysis and make some provision for the training of nonmedical practitioners. Wallerstein's illuminating treatment of the response of American nonphysician therapists to the APsaA's policy - the manner in which they managed to obtain clinical psychoanalytic training de...
Discovering The Family I Never Knew
This is a fictional story inspired by real people and real events. Take an exciting journey with Jeffrey Madison and his exploration into his family history and the dramatic and unexpected outcome. In 1964, Jeffrey lost his father Jack Madison in a tragic airplane crash when he was only 15 years old. Years later, a chance visit to Butte Montana raised questions about his father and his grandfather Arthur Madison and kindled an obsessive drive to uncover the truth about their lives. This story was a revelation about the family history he never knew. His father grew up in the Great Depression and was a lonely, troubled child with an alcoholic mother and a distant father. For nearly 24 years, his grandfather worked in the dangerous lead and copper mines in Oklahoma and Montana. He was able to overcome adversity and re-make himself. The story reveals the powerful connection between generations in a family and its significant influence on our own lives. It is a parable on the enduring value of family and friendships.
Making Camp
The rhetorical power of camp in American popular culture Making Camp examines the rhetoric and conventions of “camp” in contemporary popular culture and the ways it both subverts and is co-opted by mainstream ideology and discourse, especially as it pertains to issues of gender and sexuality. Camp has long been aligned with gay male culture and performance. Helene Shugart and Catherine Waggoner contend that camp in the popular media—whether visual, dramatic, or musical—is equally pervasive. While aesthetic and performative in nature, the authors argue that camp—female camp in particular—is also highly political and that conventions of femininity and female sexuality are negotiate...
Ground Manners
In 1999, a year after the Quebec Ice Storm, an animal communicator named Skye and her daughter come to live at Holdout Bay on Isle-Saint-Jean-Baptiste. Together, they manage a horse refuge known as the Institute of Nature Communications, unaware that a landslide is about to reclaim the entire Bay area. When a powerful businessman discovers that a former mare of his with a rare breeding gene is living at the Institute, he enlists the services of his shady assistant, Volpone, to kidnap her. Volpone’s vicious assault on Skye nearly fails as the horses and a young woman try to save her. Ground Manners pits the abuse and slaughter of horses by those who unthinkingly discard them against the efforts of others devoted to their rescue. Overall, it features love whose greatest gift is to ultimately restore wholeness to all creatures. At its core, Ground Manners is a meditation on man’s alienation from the earth and all its inhabitants, and the earth’s estrangement from a land mammal who continues to consume without regard for the consequences to future generations.
(Re)Visions of History in Language and Fiction
In imagining history, one must inevitably rely on its textual representations, whether fictitious or supposedly “objective”, yet always subject to the constraints and conventions of textuality. Still, it is precisely by exploiting and consciously relying on the textual in the presentation of the past that contemporary authors, including politicians and makers of history, strive to provide it with current significance, emotional impact and universal meaning. The study of such attempts benefits from a variety of perspectives, encompassing not only classical, but also popular texts and media. An interdisciplinary collection of papers devoted to the issues of retelling, rewriting, and repres...

Botheredness
This is an education book that is like no other that has gone before. It won't tell you what to do minute by minute, lesson by lesson, day by day. It won't batter you with impenetrable research or tell you what you must think. You won't even find a scheme of work in it some planning ideas, for sure, even a template or two, but there's no spoon-feeding here. It's just a book that invites you to consider where you are in your own educational journey. It's a book to get you bothered. Botheredness is a word Hywel Roberts uses to sum up the kind of authentic care and adult positioning that is real and deliberate and gets children and young people on board with learning. It is the holy grail of te...

With the insight and compassion of his classic Kramer vs. Kramer, in A Perfect Divorce Avery Corman reveals the raw hurt of a broken family, the effort of building newly separate lives, and the collateral damage even the most amiable divorce can inflict.

Wild Wings
This “vividly imagined and well-written novel” (Booklist, starred review) tells a gripping story about a boy from Scotland and a girl from West Africa who join together to save a migrating Osprey—and end up saving each other. When Callum spots crazy Iona McNair on his family’s sprawling property, she’s catching a fish with her bare hands. She won’t share the fish, but does share something else: a secret. She’s discovered a rare endangered bird, an Osprey, and it’s clear to both her and Callum that if anyone finds out about the bird, it, and its species, is likely doomed. Poachers, egg thieves, and wild weather are just some of the threats, so Iona and Callum vow to keep track of the bird and check her migratory progress using the code a preservationist tagged on her ankle, no matter what. But when one of them can no longer keep the promise, it’s up to the other to do it for them both. No matter what. Set against the dramatic landscapes of Scotland and West Africa, this is a story of unlikely friendships, the wonders of the wild—and the everyday leaps of faith that set our souls to flight.
