  • Just as Deadly

    Cambridge University Press Just as Deadly

    2 in stock

    Book SynopsisA riveting and meticulous account of why and how female serial killers commit murder. Drawing on original scientific research and various psychological perspectives, Dr. Marissa A. Harrison illustrates how female serial killers differ from their male counterparts and why society is so fascinated by their grisly crimes.Trade Review'Dr Harrison has clearly demonstrated her expertise on female serial killers. Her seminal work will stand the test of time, scrutiny, and reliability. Her scholarship, insightful analysis, and penchant for detail make this book the best on the market. Excellent reading for those interested in why and how women become serial killers.' Eric W. Hickey, author of Serial Murderers and their Victims, 7th Edition'Dr Harrison's masterfully crafted book is a comprehensive, engaging, and thought-provoking insight into female serial homicide. Through the interesting case studies provided, the reader gets an in-depth understanding of the factors that can contribute to serial homicide in females.' Clare S. Allely, author of The Psychology of Extreme Violence'Fascinating, ground-breaking, and long overdue. Harrison fills the inexcusable gap in the serial murder literature with her own original research on female killers, in what is sure to become a seminal work in criminology. A must-read.' Patricia Pearson, author of When She Was Bad: How and Why Women Get Away with Murder and Wish You Were Here: A Murdered Girl, a Brother's Grief and the Hunt for a Serial Killer'There are countless books on male serial killers but very little on female serial killers. Using a range of perspectives, Dr Harrison's book corrects this deficiency and documents the similarities and differences between male and female killers. Highly accessible, extensively researched, and valuable to professional and lay reader alike.' Frederick Toates, authors of Understanding Sexual Serial Killing'Just as Deadly: The Psychology of Female Serial Killers firmly establishes Dr Marissa Harrison as the preeminent authority on the female serial killer. As an evolutionary psychologist, Dr Harrison brings a much-needed perspective to understanding the inner workings of a subset of serial murderer who have been underacknowledged for centuries. To gain such insight, Dr Harrison compiled decades' worth of data and discerned the who, what, when, where, why, and how related to female serial murderers by giving attention not only to their lives and crimes but also to the often misunderstood psychosocial and behavioral drives behind their motivation. Dr Harrison's research proves how ill-equipped typologies are to classify female serial murderers, given that those systems were designed by men who were interested only in the mindset of the male serial sexual killer. Among other important findings, Dr Harrison draws an interesting distinction between the victim acquisition tactics of both genders: female serial murderers maintain a 'gatherer' style, while their male counterparts adhere to their 'hunter' nature. Just as Deadly is a welcome and necessary addition to the small but growing body of literature that scrutinizes age-old preconceptions about serial murder.' Enzo Yaksic, author of Killer Data: Modern Perspectives on Serial MurderTable of ContentsPreface; 1. Introduction: what is a serial killer?; 2. Why are we interested in serial killers?; 3. The lives in female serial killers (FSKs); 4. Mental health and substance use among FSKs; 5. FSK crimes and outcomes; 6. FSK motives and profile; 7.

  • Motherhood

    Cambridge University Press Motherhood

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe topic of motherhood holds an enduring fascination as well as acting as an indicator to societal change. This book offers a rich comparative study across two generations of how women's experiences as first-time mothers unfold in real lives.Trade Review''I had hoped for more.' So ends Tina Miller's provocative, historically comparative look at women's experience of becoming a mother for the first time. Repeating an agenda-setting study she first undertook in the UK 21 years ago, Miller shows that, in many ways, it has never been a more challenging time to be a (working) mother. In this beautifully written, narrative-rich account, she shows how the 'intensified, individualised and undervalued' circumstances of motherhood are now deeply intertwined with pernicious (and illusive) ideas around 'balance' in the contemporary age. From one of the most authoritative scholars in the field, this book is a delightful - if troubling - read.' Charlotte Faircloth, UCL Social Research Institute, and author of Couples' Transitions to Parenthood'Tina Miller's qualitative research provides an illuminating insight into women's often ambivalent transition to motherhood and how this experience has changed - for better and, worryingly, for worse - since she conducted her original study over 20 years ago. As Miller writes, 'so much about mothering has become further intensified, responsibility-laden and of course, individualised: locking women in and keeping men out'.' Eliane Glaser, Author of Motherhood: Feminism's Unfinished Business'In spite of the fact that gender relations and norms have undergone radical changes over the past decades, ideas relating to motherhood remain surprisingly essentialist and, in many respects, out of sync with expectant and new mothers' everyday experiences. Tina Miller's timely and illuminating book shows how deeply ingrained gender essentialism is in society, and how profoundly this shapes transitions to motherhood.' Daniela Grunow, Goethe University FrankfurtTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Becoming a mother: generational shifts and narrative research; 2. Anticipating motherhood: the antenatal period; 3. Making sense of early mothering experiences; 4. A return to normal: becoming the 'expert'?; 5. Mothering experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic; 6. Conclusions and reflections; Appendices.

  • Resilience in Healthcare Leadership

    Taylor & Francis Resilience in Healthcare Leadership

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe COVID-19 Pandemic has been an ultimate challenge for leadership resiliency. Resilient leaders are thoughtful and deliberate. They balance logic and emotion, ego and humility. They lead through compassionate empathy by focusing on the âhowâ, not only the âwhatâ. They use their influence to drive positive change, diversity and inclusion, and create an equitable community. Most books on resilient leadership appear to focus on spirituality and tools to grow an âœunshakable core of calm, strength, and happinessâ or âœbounce back without getting stuck in the toxic emotions of guilt, false guilt, anger, and bitternessâ. These books are very similar to handbooks focusing on mental toughness and providing guides for overcoming adversity and managing negative emotions. This book, however, defines resilience as a critical competency of high-performing leaders. Leaders must cultivate resilience in themselves and foster it throughout their organizations and multidisciplinary tTable of ContentsPreface Chapter 1: Introduction – Disruptive Innovation in Healthcare and the Role of Resilient Leadership Chapter 2: Qualities of Resilient Leadership Chapter 3: Learning from Resilient Women Leaders – The Role of Trust Chapter 4: Enhancing Resilience through Inclusive Leadership Chapter 5: Resilience from the Middle-Out: The Role of Middle Managers Chapter 6: Building a Culture of Resilient Care Teams Chapter 7: Leveraging Strengths to Maximize Resilience in Leadership Chapter 8: Conclusion – Sustaining Resilience in Healthcare Organizations

It offers a unique critical and cross-disciplinary approach to the study of contemporary manifestations of prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination.New socio-psychological analyses of the most pressing social problems of our age bring into view future directions of research on prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination oriented to social change and collective action and that engage with wider systems of norms and discourse.

The second edition of Supervision in School Psychology: The Developmental, Ecological, Problem-solving Model by Dennis J. Simon and Mark E. Swerdlik makes a significant contribution to our supervision knowledge base. It covers a diverse range of important topics, including foundations of effective supervisory relationships, the developmental, ecological, and problem-solving model, professional development for supervisors, and preparation of future supervisors, and includes many new chapters devoted to contemporary supervision issues. I highly recommend this book to all current and prospective school psychology supervisors."Joseph Prus, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus at Winthrop University, USA"The DEP Model of supervision is a superb resource for any current and future school psychology supervisor. The framework includes practical applications that applies to all areas of school psychology with an important focus on essential skills such as self-care and social justice. The second edition builds upon the first with updated best practices, including case examples, reflection activities, and practice-ready tools."Laura Swanlund, Ph.D., NCSP, LCP, Director of Comprehensive Mental Health and Related Service with Community Consolidated School District 15, Palatine, IL"As a trainer of the Illinois School Psychologists Association’s Supervisor Credential Training Program, I can attest that the content covered in the first edition of Supervision in School Psychology: The Developmental, Ecological, Problem-solving Model upon which the training is based, has been eagerly received by supervisors from a broad range of experience ranging from early career to seasoned practitioners. The second edition has been enhanced by extended coverage of the ecological component which includes timely topics related to recent events that have affected school communities. These include defining practice from a social justice perspective, demonstrating multicultural responsiveness, advocating for systems change activities, and others.
