The Majestic Place
In The Majestic Place: The Freedom Possible in Black Women’s Leadership, editors Wendi S. Williams, Whitneé L. Garrett-Walker, and Nia D. Spooner curate the leadership narratives of Black women leaders from a range of contexts, including education, health, and non-profit industries, in which they serve some of the most vulnerable and chronically disserved. Focused on the stages of women’s intra-personal and spiritual development, this book aims to create an expansive vision of Black women's leadership grounded in lived experience. Contributors to this book are Black women scholar-practitioners who lead in higher stakes context of serving and cultivating people and change. Each was invited to express their leadership experience(s) in essay, poetry, and/or prose form to offer a lens into the interiority of Black women’s leadership praxis that is not always welcomed or heard.
Balancing on Quicksand
This book explores the precarious nature of life, and the ways in which power, binary ways of thinking and Othering create personal, social and political difficulties. By exploring an array of different concerns –including loss and grief, our relationship to other animals, race and sexuality - contributors explore how attention to our own subjective experience and relational ways of thinking can help manage these difficulties. The many contributing authors go well beyond formulaic academic discourse. They adopt a far more personal and reflective approach to their topic areas. As a result, some chapters are emotional, others political, and some professional. Throughout, readers are offered examples of how useful a reflective stance can be, to understanding some of the more meaningful things in life, or as a corrective to our power based, normative, instructive discourses.

Working with Interpreters in Mental Health
Why are interpreters an important part of modern healthcare provision? In today's society, there is an increasing need for mental health professionals to work with interpreters, yet coverage of this subject in the existing literature is scarce. Working with Interpreters in Mental Health gives an insight into the issues and problems of professionals working with interpreters in the mental health field. Informed by theoretical, research and practice considerations, Working with Interpreters in Mental Health helps practitioners to develop better ways of helping service users who need an interpreter. Combining contributions from a number of different disciplines, this book discusses: * interpreters in medical consultations * issues of language provision in health care services * the application of theoretical frameworks to the work with interpreters * the work of interpreters in a variety of practical settings. Whilst the focus the placed within a mental health context, many of the issues raised apply equally to other context where interpreters are needed. This book will be invaluable for practitioners of psychology, psychiatry, social work and other health professionals.
