Book SynopsisThe classic edition of this groundbreaking book includes a new preface from the authors discussing developments in the field since the handbook's initial publication. Chapters provide an overview of best principles and best practices in counseling supervision process, one that is firmly rooted in the recent explosion of empirical research in this field. Sponsored by the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES), the book is targeted primarily at master''s-level practitioners who want practical, how-to applications of the research literature rather than a comprehensive review of the supervision literature. It''s also a useful supplement for more academic texts used for doctoral-level instruction in counseling supervision. Trade Review"The book is the best for beginning supervisors who want an overview of supervision, good documentation forms, supervisor questions, and suggestions for supervision. It is also good for those who are seasoned supervisors and want to supplement the book in practicum courses with personal experiences."PsycCRITIQUES"Borders's and Brown's practice oriented guide in counseling supervision is a must-have tool for both supervisees and supervisors. One notable facet of this revision is its expansion of multicultural and diversity issues. Of particular merit is the authors' discussion of the multicultural influences on the supervisory relationship and their inclusion of concrete questions and activities that supervisors can utilize with their supervisees to increase cultural awareness."Catherine Y.

Book SynopsisThis insightful volume is designed as a series of invitations towards living attentiveness, examining how we all make the other, through projection (blaming and shaming the other outside ourselves), our enemy with whom we prefer not to dialogue.All of us are faced daily with individual and collective manifestations of the Shadow all that we fear, despise and makes us feel ashamed. Carl Jung's concept of the Shadow, emerging as it did from his personal confrontation with the realms of his unconscious self, is one of the most important contributions he made to the understanding of humanity and to depth psychology, that realm where the focus is on unconscious processes. The contributors to this book reframe his concept in the context of contemporary Jungian thinking, exploring how the Shadow develops in an individual's infancy and adolescence, and its culmination, where collective manifestations of the Shadow are addressed. The book offers a voyage through a series of fundamentTrade Review"At a time when the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse - War, Famine, Disease, Death – are rampaging around the world, the theme of this work is timely. The Introduction sets the tone as it features the un-concealing of the shadow of the two editors’ Christopher Perry and Rupert Tower – grandson of Daphne du Maurier. Perry’s own contribution is grounded in the solid work by Gabbard and Celenza on boundary violations that addresses those difficulties. There follow other practice-based clinical pieces and chapters on literature and esoterica. Interspersed with these are weighty entries on the hot topics of today, viz., climate change, gender dysphoria, the metaverse, and modern technology. Jung’s Shadow Concept: the Hidden Light and Darkness Within Ourselves investigates the darkest recesses of human existence animating one of Jung’s major contributions to psychology: the Shadow – light and dark."Ann Casement, LP, Professor at the Oriental Academy of Analytical Psychology. "A most timely reflection by a stellar group of Jungian authors and lay-people shedding light on numerous features of our shadow-rich psyches individual and collective."Murray Stein editor of Jung on Evil."This is a wide ranging and immensely thoughtful work about that part of ourselves that we may not wish to see. Like Macbeth, we may all be ‘afraid to think’ about the Shadow, whether in ourselves or our communities. The contributors to this book have invited us, the reader, to take a compassionate yet resolute look at many different aspects of that complex concept. I believe it is a timely and important read."Dr Gwen Adshead, 'The Devil You Know: Encounters in Forensic Psychiatry"Table of ContentsIntroduction Prologue: The Descent into the Hell of Self Knowledge: The Shadow in Context 1: The Development of the Shadow in Childhood: Shadow Work (Maia's Story) 2: Gender dysphoria, Individuation and the Shadow 3: Disease as the Shadow of the Body 4: On Ageing: Coming Home 5: The Shadow in Literature: Daphne du Maurier's "The Scapegoat" 6: Whose Shadow is it Anyway?

Book SynopsisBengalis have been great travellers for centuries and are famous for recreating their way of life wherever they go. This book critically analyses skilled Bengali migration within and beyond India and looks at landscapes created by the Bengali diaspora beyond the terrain of their homeland, ranging from those of nostalgia and imagination (Durga Puja/Saraswati Puja) to those of subjugation and loss of identity.This book demonstrates the relationship between landscape and diaspora in terms of perception, imagination, space and place, ethnicity, race, caste, and class. With case studies from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Dehra Dun, Oxford, Aberdeen, New York, and the Bay Area (USA), it brings together themes like evolution of the Bengali diaspora, transnationalism and identity, stratification and segregation, urban social space, adaptation and assimilation, and questions of discrimination from other communities.Drawing on ethnographic accounts of over 300 skilled Bengalis, the

Book SynopsisThis book examines the psychological pressures faced by workers who migrate for short periods, exploring what it means to work in high-stress environments, often on time-limited contracts and with low levels of support; and how best to protect this kind of key worker.The text addresses three central questions. First, how we can think about the experiences of workers on the move? Second, what forms of support given by who, and when, provide the best staff care? Finally, how can appropriate and timely staff support by organisations influence the lives of workers on the move? The authors, all psychological therapists and many former international workers, offer recommendations for workers in humanitarian aid, the mission sector, international contracting and seafaring, among others, taking into account the changing world of work, and the impact on this of the Covid-19 pandemic.Psychological Support for Workers on the Move provides essential guidance to organisationTrade Review"A crucial topic, a crucial book. Understanding and caring for the neglected often misunderstood but growing number of those travelling to improve our world. And critically for the organisations to whom they belong. This book is profound, readable and practical. We come to grips with the real issues through explanation, story and example. We learn about essential ways to bring focus on many diverse groups of people. A book not just for the bookshelf, but to read, consult and have with you in the office, clinic or place of work." — Dr Ted Lankester, Travel Health Specialist, Co-Founder of InterHealth and Thrive-Worldwide"If you are a highly mobile, international worker, you will probably see your experiences and struggles reflected in this engaging, informative book. Whether you are an international aid worker, volunteer, contractor or seafarer, reading this book will help you realise you are not alone and that help is available. Written by mental health practitioners with a clear grasp of the common challenges faced by workers on the move - such as moral injury, the role of religious and spiritual faith, and relationships and family life - this book is full of insights, case studies and practical recommendations.

Book SynopsisThis anthology of interviews and essays joins luminaries in contemporary psychoanalysis with pioneers of feminism to provide a timely analysis of the crushing effects of patriarchy and the role that psychoanalysis can play in moving us into a future defined by mutuality and respect.Departing from the contemporary psychoanalytic view that the socio-political and intrapsychic are inextricably linked, contributors use psychoanalysis as a tool to demystify and even dismantle patriarchy, while also examining how our theories, practices, and institutions have been implicated in it. The issues under examination here include important and often under-theorized topics such as institutional responses to boundary violations, the search for a black-feminist psychoanalytic theory, patriarchal enactments within the trans community, the persistence of patriarchy within contemporary psychoanalysis, and the impacts of patriarchy on diverse patient populations and ways to address this cliTrade Review"Patriarchy and Its Discontents is a gripping and original compendium of powerful confrontations with an old problem that vexes our mental and cultural life. An impressive group of authors grapple in exciting and illuminating ways with the question of how to analyze and resist the ever-mutating forms of this most fundamental source of human subjugation."Jessica Benjamin, author, Beyond Doer and Done To: Recognition Theory Intersubjectivity and the Third"Patriarchy and its Discontents boldly occupies the fraught and creative space carved out by the explosive encounter between psychoanalysis and feminism that has been making news for over a century. 'Patriarchy', a formal term claimed by feminists, and 'Discontents', the ironic thesis deployed by analysts, are here unleashed in these pages, each acting on the other in the service of making the kind of 'good trouble' neither could make on its own. These chapters, no matter their explicit focus, all hold the tension between the theoretical and the clinical, the personal and the political – and in so doing they showcase their big ambitions. No one can write in this space without striving for moral and philosophical depth, and for emotionalized thinking that cannot be anything but bravely personal. There is no cool way to tell this story – it comes out to get you, author and reader alike. Kudos to everyone on this big, wide, soulful project!"Virginia Goldner, faculty, NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy; founding editor, Studies in Gender and Sexuality; on-camera clinical advisor to Orna Guralnik, Showtime docuseries, Couples Therapy"When I entered the psychoanalytic field in the early fifties, patriarchy was firmly in the driver’s seat; older, White, European (Teutonic) patriarchy at that. Over the past seven decades I have witnessed the most remarkable breakdown in that hegemony. We are now in the midst of radical revolutions in our tenets both in psychoanalysis and in the culture at large. Issues of race, gender, and genotype are all shifting rapidly, as are our presumptions about our own function as psychotherapists. We can no longer hide from the dynamics of power and its abuses. Petrucelli, Schoen, and Snider have organized a stellar collection of chapters and authors that heed this call. They show us where we’ve been, where we are, and one hopes offer glimpses into where we’re going. I wholeheartedly recommend this seminal book to readers in and out of our field who are interested in making sense of the chaotic sweep of change that is taking us into the future."Edgar A.

Book SynopsisXie analyzes three novels by the international award-winning Chinese writer Yan Lianke and investigates how his signature âœmythorealistâ form produces textual meanings that subvert the totalizing reality prescribed by literary realism.The term mythorealism, which Yan coined to describe his own writing style, refers to a set of literary devices that incorporate both Chinese and Western literary elements while remaining primarily grounded in Chinese folk culture and literary tradition. In his use of mythorealism, carrying a burden of social critique that cannot allow itself to become âœpolitical,â Yan transcends the temporality and provinciality of immediate social events and transforms his potential socio-political commentaries into more diversified concerns for humanity, existential issues, and spiritual crisis. Xie identifies three modes of mythorealist narrative exemplified in Yanâs three novels: the minjian (folk) mode in Dream of Ding Village, the allusive

Book SynopsisThere is now a Happiness Revolution to go along with the earlier Industrial and Demographic Revolutions. The Happiness Revolution is captured using people''s happiness scores, as reported in public surveys, whereas the earlier revolutions are reflected by economic production (such as GDP) and life expectancy. Increases in happiness are chiefly due to social-science welfare policies that alleviate people''s foremost concerns ? those centering on family life, health, and jobs. This Element traces the course of the Happiness Revolution throughout Europe since the 1980s when comprehensive and comparable data on people''s happiness first become available. Which countries lead and which lag? How is happiness distributed ? are the rich happier than the poor, men than women, old than young, native than foreign born, city than countryfolk? How has the COVID-19 pandemic impacted happiness? These are among the questions addressed in this Element. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Book SynopsisCharles W. Mills (1951â2021) was considered by many to be the most well-known philosopher specializing in political philosophy and critical philosophy of race. This is the first collection of essays to critically examine the key themes of Millsâs philosophy across his major works.The chapters in this volume engage with major themes such as the racial contract, non-ideal theory, metaphysics of race, epistemology of ignorance, and corrective justice. They also explore Millsâs engagement with philosophical figures including Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Du Bois, Maria Lugones, Immanuel Kant, Karl Marx, and John Rawls. Furthermore, the contributors seek to uncover unexplored terrain which may be illuminated by applying many of Millsâs key insights.The Philosophy of Charles W. Mills will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in political philosophy, philosophy of race, Africana philosophy, and Black political thought.

Book SynopsisDespite voters'' distaste for corruption, corrupt politicians frequently get reelected. This Element provides a framework for understanding when corrupt politicians are reelected. One unexplored source of electoral accountability is court rulings on candidate malfeasance, which are increasingly determining politicians'' electoral prospects. The findings suggest that (1) low-income voters ? in contrast to higher-income voters ? are responsive to such rulings. Unlike earlier studies, we explore multiple trade-offs voters weigh when confronting corrupt candidates, including the candidate''s party, policy positions, and personal attributes. The results also surprisingly show (2) low-income voters, like higher-income voters, weigh corruption allegations and policy positions similarly, and are slightly more responsive to candidate attributes. Moreover, irrespective of voter income, (3) party labels insulate candidates from corruption, and (4) candidate attributes like gender have little effect. The results have implications for when voters punish corrupt politicians, the success of anti-corruption campaigns, and the design and legitimacy of electoral institutions.

Book SynopsisChinaâs Heritage through History employs a longue durÃe approach to examine Chinaâs heritage through history. From Imperial to contemporary China, it explores the role of practices and material forms of the past in shaping social transformation through knowledge production and transmission.The art of collecting, reproducing, and reinterpreting the past has been an enduring force shaping cultural identity and political legitimacy in China. Offering a unique, non-Western perspective on the history of heritage in China, Zhu considers who the key players have been in these ongoing processes of reconfigured pasts, what methods they have employed, and how these practices have shaped society at large. The book tackles these questions by delving into the transformation of practices related to heritage through examples such as the book collection at Tianyi Private Library, the reproduction of the Orchid Pavilion Preface calligraphy and its associated sites, and the d

Book SynopsisThis volume challenges the common perception that legal systems in developing countries are outdated or plagued by enforcement issues. Instead, it presents detailed case studies of private law in the Global South, showcasing how countries in the region have embraced legal doctrines that diverge from traditional approaches in the Global North. Chapters cover core areas of private law, including contracts, property, torts, corporations, and legal personality. The case studies range from India''s adoption of CSR rules to Argentina''s protection of hyper-vulnerable consumers. This volume demonstrates how many countries have incorporated social and distributional concerns into their private law regimes. Through these examples, the book presents a set of under-appreciated and innovative legal developments in the Global South. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Book SynopsisDifferent units of international politics, such as states or the church, cannot be present in their entirety during international interactions. Political rule needs to be represented for international actors to coordinate their activities. Representants (i.e. maps, GDP, buildings, and diplomatic and warfare practices) establish collective understandings about the nature of authority and its configuration. Whilst representants are not exact replica, they highlight and omit certain features from the units they stand in for. In these inclusions and exclusions lies representants'' irreducible effect. This book studies how representants define the units of the international system and position them in relation to each other, thereby generating an international order. When existing representants change, the international order changes because the units are defined differently and stand in different relations to each other. Power is therefore defined differently. Spanning centuries of European history, Alena Drieschova traces the struggles between actors over these representations.

Book SynopsisAdolescents in Crisis offers a psychoanalytic perspective on the complex that can arise when young people renegotiate their relationship with the world and their own bodies as they experience puberty.This edited collection explores the tension adolescents often experience between their wish to change and develop and their desire to lean into stasis to maintain their pre-pubescent way of relating to their own self and others. Covering the period from pre-teen years to the dawn of adulthood, and including clinical vignettes throughout, the contributors look at issues such as isolation, self-harm, eating disorders, gender identity and delinquent behaviors which are often used as defense strategies against the feelings of powerlessness and inadequacy that puberty can invoke. Each chapter draws on traditional and contemporary psychoanalytic thought to help the reader understand these anxieties and provide guidance on how the therapist, parent and adolescent can work through them together, allowing the young person to explore new ways of managing their anxieties.Part of the 101 Kids books series, this book is an invaluable resource for psychoanalysts and psychotherapists working with young people, as well as teachers, social workers and parents dealing with adolescents in difficulty.

Book SynopsisAfter Equality tackles one of the biggest challenges facing LGBT activists in many parts of the world: how to move beyond inclusive legislation to ensure LGBT people can exercise their newly acquired rights. Drawing from in-depth interviews and ethnographic observation with two lesbian organizations in Buenos Aires, Argentina and Cape Town, South Africa, Julie Moreau explores the ways that organizations use identity to make rights useful. Engaging interdisciplinary scholarship and intersectional theory, Moreau develops a novel approach to identity strategizing that explains how activists engage multiple identities to challenge the relationships between identity categories and address the ways interlocking systems of power affect their constituents. By analyzing sexual identity as always constructed through race, class and gender, the book transforms how scholars understand the role of identity in the strategic repertoires of social movement organizations and illuminates dimensions of identity politics that surface in the aftermath of legal inclusion.

Book SynopsisHundreds of anthologies of womenâs short stories have appeared in the literary market between the 1970s and now. This publishing and cultural phenomenon is considered for the first time in this book, which argues that during this period anthologies have become a literary technology used not only to make visible female short story writers, but also to think about, and mould ideas of, womanhood. Through creative and contextualised readings of the most important anthologies produced in this period, this study shows that this literary form has contributed to, and in some cases pioneered, key developments in gender theory and feminist thought, including questions of political combination among women which underlie contemporary global movements such as #MeToo. In doing so, the book also develops the first book-length conceptualisation of the features and meaning-making mechanisms of the short story anthology as a literary form.This book will benefit academics and students working in the fields of short fiction, publishing and womenâs studies, as well as feminist scholars and a growing number of specialists interested in the anthology as a literary form worldwide.

Book SynopsisThis book explores the experience of time in psychoanalysis and Andean shamanism. It plots ways to work through unresolved trauma by expanding how we conceptualize both implicit and nonverbal atemporal experience, drawing from the rituals, narratives, and medicine of Andean shamans and quantum theory.Shifting between subjective states in time is fundamental in trauma work and psychoanalysis. Integrating traumatic experiences that have become split off and held in âœtimelessâ unconscious states of implicit memory is an essential aspect of psychic healing. Becoming familiar with the Andean shamansâ understanding of atemporal experience, as well as learning about their ways of âœgroundingâ the experience consciously, can offer a route through which psychoanalysis and therapy may deepen the therapeutic process and open new states of consciousness. Theories developed in quantum physics are included to parallel the shamansâ experience and for describing the analytic process.
