Book SynopsisBringing together cutting-edge theory and research that bridges academic disciplines from criminology and criminal justice, to developmental psychology, sociology, and political science, Thinking About Victimization offers an authoritative and refreshingly accessible overview of scholarship on the nature, sources, and consequences of victimization.This book integrates empirical research and victimization theory and is written in a lively style, with sharp storytelling and an appreciation of international research on victimization. Rooted in a healthy respect for criminological history and the important foundational works in victimization studies, it provides a detailed account of how different data sources can influence our understanding of victimization; of how the sources of victimization - individual, situational, and contextual - are complicated and varied; and of how the consequences of victimization - personal, social, and political - are just as complex. ThinTrade Review'Taking a fresh approach, Jillian Turanovic and Travis Pratt analyze victimization across diverse contexts, ranging from the small confines of the prison to the expansive reach of the internet. This volume is rich in theory and scholarship but masterfully written to be accessible to students at all levels. It also is a work of practical relevance, as readers are encouraged to consider the disquieting consequences of victimization and to evaluate the policies—both effective and foolish—proposed to reduce such harm. Put simply, Thinking About Victimization has set the standard for textbooks in this area.'Francis T.

The book presents a wide variety of perspectives and interventions, multiple examples, and practical methods, applicable to professionals with a range of experience. A case study covering a diverse family of three generations is presented throughout the book to clearly illustrate systemic perspectives, concepts, and practices. This accessible book will inform and enhance the therapist's practice and conversations with individuals, couples, parents, groups or networks, even in the presence of psychopathology, multi-stressors or complex networks. This highly readable guide will be essential reading for systemic practitioners of all backgrounds, as well as professionalsTrade Review'This accessible and hugely engaging text sets out both to explain systemic principles for professional practice and to support the development of systemic thinking in practice. The book explores the different ways in which we look at and understand families and their relationships, and importantly, why we might look in the ways we do. The authors follow the generations of a particular family system throughout the text and with their lively writing style draw us into the family members’ experiences –their loves, their challenges, their dreams, their hurts and misunderstandings, and their successes. The authors invite us into the safety of the therapeutic context with the family members and clearly describe the unfolding of the therapeutic process, as they weave together the intra-personal with the inter-personal, social and developmental contexts of life. I strongly recommend this book as a practical and foundational text for training in health and social care practice. The sub-title of the book is ‘A Relational Compass’ – a strong metaphor to guide us the reader through the complexities of family life and to help make them more understandable, manageable and open to change.'Arlene Vetere, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Family, VID Specialized University, Norway'This brilliant practice-orientated book provides a systemic compass to help practitioners to stay on course, with clients and therapists together confirming, debunking and changing their experience(s) of reality. Exercises at the end of each chapter invite the reader to reflect on their own practice and the personal contexts that contribute to their responses during the therapeutic process. A fascinating exploration of the different lenses needed to work systemically with a wide range of families in diverse settings – highly recommended to anyone interested in systemic practice!'Eia Asen, Professor Dr. Anna Freud Centre, UK'I would like to endorse Systemic Perspectives in Mental Health, Social Work and Youth Care: A Relational Compass by Anke Savenije, Justine van Lawick and Ellen Reijmers. This English translation will have special relevance for mental health practitioners including psychiatrists, doctors, psychologists, psychiatric nurses, family therapists and social workers who seek to apply a systemic, contextual, and family-centred practice framework. It draws on an ever-increasing evidence-based literature that acknowledges the value of applying a ‘systemic lens’ across a range of psychiatric diagnoses and presenting issues. The dual theory and practice focus of the book including useful homework exercises will have appeal for both beginning and experienced practitioners especially the detailed illustration of therapeutic work with the Dufour family across several chapters as well as the inclusion of a wealth of practice examples to illustrate the finer points of systemic therapy. English language readers will appreciate the focus on context in therapy conversations between therapists and clients and other systems and the book provides a useful and easily understood map for systemic practice across a range of settings for individuals, couples, parents, families, groups and larger networks. The chapters on systemic work with families presenting with ‘individual vulnerabilities’ and complex mental health issues and the role of common factors in therapy change will be especially useful. In summary this book will have wide appeal for psychologists, therapists, social workers and counsellors in English speaking countries who wish to learn more about applying a systemic approach in a range of mental health contexts.'Dr Glenn Larner, Senior Clinical Psychologist and Family Therapist, Sydney, Australia, and Editor-in Chief of Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family TherapyTable of ContentsPreface; Series Editors' Foreword; 1.

Taylor & Francis Aging Out of the Foster System
Book SynopsisDecades of demographic studies and applied efforts have convinced scholars, students, and social workers that young people coming of age and transitioning out of the foster care system face great challenges in health, education, income, and general well-being. Despite the wealth of research on these outcomes, we know much less about the lived experiences of young people leaving foster care.Aging Out of the Foster System: Youths' Perspectives adds to this narrative the personal experiences of young people who are aging out or have aged out of their child welfare placement. The authors center the stories of these young people and apply critical ethnographic methods to frame their accounts with attention to the encounters within which they were produced, including power imbalances, institutional contexts, and relational dynamics.By centering the experiences of youths in these contexts and attending to the larger forces at work, this book helps conn

Taylor & Francis Ltd Online Harms and Cybertrauma
Book SynopsisThis vital, sensitive guide explains the serious issues children face online and how they are impacted by them on a developmental, neurological, social, mental health and wellbeing level. Covering technologies used by children aged two through to adulthood, it offers parents and professionals clear, evidence-based information about online harms and their effects and what they can do to support their child should they see, hear or bear witness to these events online.Catherine Knibbs, specialist advisor in the field, explains the issues involved when using online platforms and devices in family, social and educational settings. Examined in as non-traumatising a way as possible, the book covers key topics including cyberbullying; cyberstalking; pornography; online grooming; sexting; live streaming; vigilantism; suicide and self-harm; trolling and e-harassment; bantz, doxing and social media hacking; dares, trends and life-threatening activities; information and misinformation; aTrade ReviewCatherine has been involved in the cyberpsychology field of work for over 25yrs and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the forefront of this area. Her work provides a fascinating and informative perspective and details the challenges that, not just professionals, but anyone can face when dealing with these issues. She is able to observe and analyse the relevant facts and explains the problems to the reader, so they can fully appreciate and understand this complex work. As an Online Safety Professional, I follow Catherine's work very closely, and utilise the cross overs from her work into my own work, which greatly assists in the online protection of minors in today's world. Andrew Briercliffe - "Online Safety Professional" - experience in Law Enforcement, Education and Social MediaCath is versed in critical thinking and presents a clear path to categorise information, misinformation and disinformation in a sector where health and well-being are jam-packed with non-specialists. The resulting outcome of bad advice is that the developing child’s body can be impacted by the skewed knowledge of online ‘gurus’ giving out guidance that may well cause developmental and psychological harm.Movement, diet and body-based issues are rife amongst our young, with snake oil salespeople offering quick fixes. However, these pseudo-experts lack of awareness of our children’s current technological landscape and our young people’s social-media anxieties means the advice provided is ill-advised and, at worst, devastating.Our future generations deserve better and with my work looking to create more play opportunities for children that rely on less technology and sustainable real-world strategies to help with physical, emotional and mental well-being. It is excellent to collaborate with adults such as Cath, who labour to help adults understand the role they can play in creating safer online spaces for our kids.- Darryl Edwards, Movement Coach, author of the best-selling books "Animal Moves" and "My First Animal Moves", and a thought leader in creativity and innovation in fitness and health. Darryl developed the Primal Play Method® to inspire young and old to make physical activity fun. He blogs at PrimalPlay.com.As someone who works on the frontlines with Catherine Knibbs on the war on young people, she has nailed the chaotic weight of things battling for kids' attention, likes,clicks, follows, and time - but mostly end up doing huge damage to them in the process. Smart phones, social media, many of the so-called 'influencers' and less ethical brands have figured out there is huge profit in young people's low self-esteem, diminished well-being and faith that 'they alone' can fix it - with the 'they' often being bad advice, dodgy diets, dangerous exercise plan or a dependency on the filter and selfie culture that robs so much time and gives so much self-loathing in return. For all the parents, teachers, young people or just people who care about the future of young people - Catherine Knibbs' book is an essential read - it decodes all the modern mysteries and fads of the online world but also gives much needed tools to both protect your children - and you - from the many hostile forces they now have to contend with. - Chloe Combi, Author, Speaker, Columnist, Futurist, Host of 'You Don't Know Me.'Table of ContentsIntroduction. 1 Psychological games. 2 Trends, challenges and hoaxes. 3 Information, misinformation and disinformation. 4 Cyberbullying. 5 Cyberstalking. 6 Bodies, health and wellbeing. 7 Self-harm. 8 Professionals who harm.

This volume, edited by Turner and Stauffer, should be on the shelf of every clinician working with grieving individuals.

Taylor & Francis Walking Free from the Trauma of Coercive Cultic
Book SynopsisThis is an interactive self-help workbook and psychological road map to enable survivors of coercive, cultic and spiritual abuse to find healing, recovery and growth.This book provides a comprehensive guide to recovery, based on a tested model of post-cult counselling, and years of research and clinical experience. It is designed to help survivors of diverse abusive settings, including religious and spiritual, political, gangs, business, therapy and wellness and one-on-one relationships. The reader follows a beautifully illustrated journey through four Phases of recovery and growth, one Milestone at a time, to make sense of what has happened to them, learn how to walk free from psychological control and find resources for healing. The author includes stories from her own experience, detailing her path towards recovery and how she learned to come to terms with and overcome what happened to her. Written in accessible language, this workbook serves as both a self-hTrade Review‘The world today is experiencing a massive proliferation of destructive cultic groups - religious, political, terrorist, commercial, self-help, healing, recovery, and many other kinds of groups that use deceptive recruitment tactics and coercive control of members. To the very few books meant to help those leaving cults, Dr. Jenkinson adds this comprehensive and essential volume. Having herself traversed the daunting path from traumatic abuse in a cult to freedom and recovery, Dr. Jenkinson offers the reader decades of wisdom gleaned from her therapeutic work with survivors, distilled into this eminently readable and usable volume. Both survivors and therapists alike will welcome and treasure this essential and urgently needed addition to the cult recovery literature.’Daniel Shaw, psychoanalyst and author of Traumatic Narcissism: Relational Systems of Subjugation and Traumatic Narcissism and Recovery: Leaving the Prison of Shame and Fear‘Gillie Jenkinson has provided former members and those who counsel them with a unique gift, which will profoundly impact the recovery field. After leaving cult life's cognitive and emotional confusion, Dr. Jenkinson uses the perfect grounding metaphor of a physical journey (with illustrations) to give former cult members a step-by-step ‘psychological roadmap’. Like the best kind of guide, she offers wisdom gained from her own cult experience and her years as a therapist in the cult recovery field. With each step forward, as the ‘fog’ of cult life begins to clear, former members can finally arrive at a place where they gain their authentic identity with a wide range of feelings and a clearer sense of reality. This workbook is a remarkable achievement.’ Lorna Goldberg, LCSW, PsyA, Past President, International Cultic Studies Association and Director, Institute for Psychoanalytic Studies‘Dr. Gillie Jenkinson is one of the most thoughtful and insightful clinicians in the cultic studies field. In this book, she applies her personal experience and many years of research and clinical work to construct a practical workbook for people leaving cultic groups. This is not simply an explanation of why people join and leave cults. The book provides what would be called ‘homework’ in some counseling approaches. It is interactive and asks ‘participants’ (they are much more than readers) to think and write, to complete forms, to wrestle with their memories, thoughts, and goals for the future. ‘Participating’ in this handbook could be worth thousands of dollars in consultation time. The book is a wonderful resource, especially for those former members who do not have the resources to travel and pay for professional consultation. I recommend it highly.’Michael D. Langone, PhD, Executive Director, International Cultic Studies Association‘This is a unique book and should be essential reading. It was forged in the fire of painful experience and refined by a keen mind. Gillie offers a clear pathway enabling others to make their own choices and find their own freedom. It is a remarkable story of personal transformation and hope.’Alistair Ross, Associate Professor, Psychotherapy, Oxford University‘Dr. Gillie Jenkinson is a professional I know and trust. Her work has helped in the education, awareness and healing of countless people.’Steven Hassan, PhD, MA, MEd, LMHC, NCC, Freedom of Mind Resource Center, Inc. ‘This valuable book is a sensitively written, practical guide to cult recovery. Based on her own experiences, first as a former member, and then as a therapist specializing in cult recovery, Dr. Jenkinson shares her knowledge and offers guidance for the difficult process of integrating into the non-cult world in a healthy way.’Alexandra Stein, PhD, visiting research fellow, London South Bank University‘There is a new tool to help former cult members and other survivors of abusive groups and relationships, and I will be recommending it to every former cult member who consults with me. In this ground-breaking book, Gillie Jenkinson literally takes her readers on a step-by-step journey to recovery. She doesn’t use jargon and she doesn’t list aspirational goals and leave the ‘how’ to the reader’s imagination. Instead, she offers clear exercises and examples that untangle the process of recovery. The whimsical illustrations help the reader to visualize the recommended steps and invite the reader to participate.

Taylor & Francis Queering the Stage
Book SynopsisQueering the Stage: Inclusive Approaches to Performing Gender and Sexuality addresses a history of stereotyping and provides inclusive approaches to navigating gender and sexuality in a way that does not reduce the broad spectrum of LGBTQ+ communities into a single monolith.Butch it up! Be more manly! Add a little swish! Queen out! These instructions make performers feel minimized, erased, and forced to fit in a binary that encourages underdeveloped portrayals of queer identities. This book will guide the reader in performance techniques for confidently embodying the masculine/ feminine, gay/ straight binaries â as concepts of chosen choreography rather than reductive prescriptions â while also providing non- binary exercises to explore and expand the use of the body, voice, heart, and mind to bring life to characters of sexual orientations and gender identities that do and do not align with the actorsâ lived experiences.

There’s a reason that Carren Strock’s amazing Married Women Who Love Women: And More... is now being recognized as a classic 25 years after it first came out.

It allows people to connect emotionally and offers life lessons for everyone.' Ann Northrop, veteran journalist, activist, and co-host of Gay USA'This book is a powerful tool for therapists and other professionals. It is easy to read, has accessible content, and is a pertinent addition to gender and sexuality studies.

Updated to speak to evolving sexual and emotional mores, this volume underscores how complex the human heart is, and how resistant to rigid and unchanging labels human sexual responses can be.' Naomi Wolf, author of The Beauty Myth and Outrages: Sex, Censorship and the Criminalization of Love, USA'This book provides a deep, thoughtful, and moving account of the diverse experiences of married women who find themselves unexpectedly but passionately falling in love with other women.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Radical Mindfulness
Book SynopsisRadical Mindfulness examines the root causes of injustice, asking why inequalities along the lines of race, class, gender, and species continue to exist. Specifically, James K. Rowe examines fear of death as a root cause of systemic inequalities and proposes a more embodied approach to social change as a solution.Collecting insights from powerful thinkers across multiple traditionsincluding Black radicals, Indigenous resurgence theorists, terror management theorists, and Buddhist feminists Rowe argues for the political importance of seemingly apolitical practices such as meditation and ritual. On their own, these strategies are not enough, but integrated into social movements that are combating structural injustices, mindbody practices can begin transforming the embodied fears that feed endless fuel to supremacist ideologies and yet are not targeted by most political actors.Radical Mindfulness is for academics, activists, and individuals who want to oTrade Review"Radical Mindfulness is an extraordinarily generous intervention in the burgeoning conversation about the role of mindfulness in social transformation. James K. Rowe offers genuinely new approaches to understanding why some humans so consistently choose to perpetuate oppression, crafting a rich conception of the co-production of fear of death and supremacy cultures. You’ll emerge from the book having grappled with your own existential response to the fact that death comes without warning, and that you yourself will one day be a corpse. You’ll be convinced that reckoning with this fact has been a central concern of thinkers from James Baldwin to the Buddha. And you’ll have renewed resources for understanding the resonances among Indigenous, feminist, and Black liberation struggles that have practiced life-affirming ways to meet death. For white settler readers in particular, this book gives resources for learning from these other contexts without appropriating them. As erudite and precise as it is ebullient and provocative, this book offers a generative path for anyone committed to the possibility of collective liberation and a world in which abundance rather than scarcity shapes our lives." Alexis Shotwell, Professor of Sociology and Anthropology, Carleton University "How do white supremacism, alpha-masculinity, class politics, and climate denialism fold into the dominant institutions of today? In this remarkable book, James K. Rowe helps us to see and feel the connections. Existential traumas about death and deadly institutional practices, he says, are intertwined, with the traumas and drives feeding into each other. Radical mindfulness, as a set of collective practices, can help to reshape these connections. Drawing sustenance from Bataille, James Baldwin, Indigenous thinkers, Buddhists, feminists and others, Rowe folds mindfulness into radicalism and radicalism into mindfulness. An astute and timely book, full of insights and inspirational stories."William E. Connolly, Krieger-Eisenhower Professor, Johns Hopkins University"Can humans collectively stop enslaving, exploiting, segregating and desecrating? Can "metabolizing" our fear of death precipitate awakening to our responsibilities within "the inescapable network of mutuality"? Weaving existential philosophy with acknowledgement of Indigenous wisdom, Buddhism, feminism, and dismantling white supremacy practices and tools, James K. Rowe has crafted a bold proposal of love and hope." Mushim Patricia Ikeda, Buddhist teacher at the East Bay Meditation Center, author, and community activist"I consistently ruminate over the climate destruction befalling us. I know settler colonialism and white supremacy are deeply woven into the harm befalling Mother Earth. I am often left feeling helpless due to the seeming infallibility of the systems that maintain control. James K. Rowe's book provides me with immense hope as he clarifies the drive for the will to supremacy, which is to say, he allows the reader an opportunity to understand what is happening – the ignorance that the settler colonial regime depends upon is therefore brought into disruption."Tricia McGuire-Adams, Anishinaabek Nation, Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Ganandawisiwin Sovereignties, University of Ottawa "Original and poignant, Radical Mindfulness is a deep-dive into the social justice implications of death denial. Rowe argues that at the root of our entangled predicaments of climate change, ongoing colonialism, threats to democracy, and racial and gender injustice, is the inability of those in power to cope with their fear of death. From "white extinction anxiety" to the viral currency of outrage, this incapacity to manage the ultimate terror of mortality manifests in violence large and small. If mindfulness can help us face our fear of death, it can reduce the harms we wittingly or unwittingly commit."Sarah Jaquette Ray, Professor of Environmental Studies, California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt"Radical Mindfulness addresses the need to simultaneously come to terms with death at the personal level while dismantling/reconstructing death-denying structures (religious, political and economic). A magnificent book — timely, important and compelling."Sheldon Solomon, Professor of Psychology, Skidmore College"In Radical Mindfulness, James K. Rowe compellingly advocates for the inclusion of mind-body practices such as mindfulness as vital components of political transformation. Reflecting the radical inclusivity animating the project, Radical Mindfulness is at once an autoethnography, intellectual genealogy, social critique, existential guide, and healing justice manifesto. In the words of bell hooks, one of the many visionaries inspiring the book, it exemplifies scholarship as the “practice of freedom."Ann Gleig, Associate Professor of Religion and Cultural Studies , University of Central Florida "This powerful, deeply reflective book is exactly what the world needs. James K. Rowe, a long-time meditator and social theorist, offers searing insight into how mindfulness can help progressive thinkers and movements root-out the sources of supremacy and work collectively to build a more just, ecological sane, and humane future. Finally, someone has linked our inner and outer lives in a compelling, politically relevant, critical way.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Strategic Listening
Book SynopsisListening is so simple, yet so difficult. Many times, listening is taken for granted. One could therefore say that listening is the forgotten part of communication. Although organizations have more digital and analog communication channels than ever, too little time is spent listening to customers, employees, and other influential groups. It is a shame that listening is not given more attention, as it is linked to many positive values. Examples include better conversations, increased trust and confidence, more outstanding commitment and job satisfaction, lower absenteeism due to illness, higher productivity and quality of work, increased sales, better relationships with customers and employees, and many other positive effects. To the extent that listening takes place, organizations rarely take a holistic approach to it. Strategic listening means a given objective for listening, thoughts about who should listen, when it should happen, and so on. An organization's listening must becomTable of ContentsPreface Introduction Chapter 1: Listening Chapter 2: Strategic Listening Chapter 3: Listening Culture Chapter 4: How you become a better listener Chapter 5: Listening and leadership Chapter 6: Coworkership and listening Chapter 7: How to create strategic listening

Taylor & Francis A Reading of Anxiety
Book SynopsisA Reading of Anxiety follows the sessions of Lacanâs Seminar X, examining its presentation of the structure of anxiety, step by step.Christian Fierens considers why and how the structure of anxiety always depends on speech even if it remains on the threshold between the symbolic and the real and explains that there is a genuine connection between anxiety and the Lacanian object a which puts in doubt the obviousness of any object. The book then explores the importance of anxiety for the practice of the analyst, determines that the object a is fundamentally void and discusses encountering nothingness. Finally, Fierens establishes that this nothingness inside the object and inside anxiety leads to the truth of anxiety.A Reading of Anxiety will be an essential book for students as well as clinicians to find a practical way to cope with anxiety as a clinical approach to the real in psychoanalysis. It will be relevant to all readers interested in the work of Lacan.
