    Zubaan Undoing Impunity – Speech After Sexual Violence

    7 in stock

    Book SynopsisActs of sexual violence are often committed with impunity—perpetrators do not consider their actions consequential. Yet throughout history, impunity for sexual violence has been challenged by fearless, just, and compassionate speech—both in courts of justice and outside of them. Those who speak out not only advance a politics of accountability, but also an ethics of recognition, suffering, and hurt.Undoing Impunity explores the contours of the politics and ethics pertaining to sexual violence in contemporary South Asian communities. Using a historical lens, V. Geetha closely examines explicitly feminist responses from the region and, drawing from them, suggests that sexual violence and the impunity it claims for itself are best understood in relation to cultural attitudes towards sexuality. In all, Undoing Impunity is an important and timely look at the social, psychological, and legal conditions that allow perpetrators to act without fear of responsibility or guilt. The book forms part of the Sexual Violence and Impunity in South Asia series, supported by the International Development Research Centre, Canada.

    Book SynopsisPart of a new series titled Sexual Violence and Impunity in South Asia, supported by the International Development Research Centre, Canada, Of the Nation Born takes Bangladesh as its focus, compiling some of the best writing and research to date on sexual violence and impunity. The book brings together both new and established scholars to look at areas as wide-ranging as the law and its histories, nationalism, memory and sexuality, the status of minorities, religion and its directives, universities as sites of gender-contestation, and more. With an introduction by acclaimed scholar Meghna Guhathakurta, the book offers a comprehensive overview of the situation in Bangladesh from the 1971 war for liberation to the present. Guhathakurta gives readers an excellent entry point for understanding the complex realities of how impunity for the perpetrators of sexual violence has become standard in Bangladesh in particular, and South Asia in general. Of the Nation Born is a valuable cross-disciplinary study and the first of its kind.

    Zubaan A Difficult Transition – The Nepal Papers

    7 in stock

    Book SynopsisNepal, because it was never directly colonized, is seen as something of an outlier on the subcontinent, but the country could not remain totally immune to the influence of colonialism in its neighborhood. A Difficult Transition shows that, in addition to home-grown feudal patriarchal structures, it is the larger colonial and postcolonial context of the subcontinent that has enabled the structuring of inequalities and power relations in Nepal, which today allow for widespread sexual violence and impunity. Recent years have seen an increase in public discussion about sexual violence in Nepal, and the state has created legislation and action plans to address the problem. And yet, impunity for perpetrators remains intact and justice elusive. What are the structures that enable such impunity? And what can be done to change and radically transform these structures? How must states understand the search for justice for victims of sexual violence? Part of the Zubaan Series on Sexual Violence and Impunity in South Asia, the essays in this volume attempt to trace a history of sexual violence in Nepal, look at the responses of women's groups and society at large, and suggest how this serious and wide-ranging problem may be addressed.

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisTransforming Sexual Narratives offers readers the opportunity to address complex sexual problems through Narrative Relational Sex Therapy (NRST), an original approach that Suzanne Iasenza has developed during twenty-five years of clinical practice. This method presents a deeper, richer way of thinking about sexual challenges that has enabled clients to successfully rewrite their mistaken narratives to reclaim pleasure, intimacy, and satisfaction in their erotic lives. Drawing on the strengths of three very different therapeutic traditions psychoanalytic, couple and family systems, and sex therapy it delivers a fresh and dynamic way of understanding the complex interrelationship between personal, social, cultural, and familial sexual narratives. Chapters include conversations with diverse couples and individuals from all kinds of backgrounds and cultures, who exist in every kind of body, and in each case show how unconscious and harmful narratives can be tranTrade Review"This is simply a wonderfully written book that acknowledges the unruly multidimensionality of sex and offers a rich, deep understanding of sexual issues and the stories that shape our sex lives and a clear way forward to eroticism that is about pleasure, not just performance, and intimate connection rather than recipes for endless novelty. Note this as essential reading for every sex therapist and couple counsellor!" — Sue Johnson, author of Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love, Canada"Suzanne Iasenza has written a unique and challenging book which should be on every clinician’s shelf, especially those working with non-traditional individuals and couples. Her relational approach to sex therapy focused on transforming sexual narratives is a comprehensive approach combining psychodynamic, couple, and queer perspectives. The emphasis on willingness as the key to desire, creating a sexual menu, mindfulness narrative touch, kink, and sexual resilience provides an empathic, respectful perspective on individual and couple sex therapy. Particularly important is confronting simplistic understandings and the pathologizing of sexual variations. Dr. Iasenza confronts secrecy and shame as she encourages clients to make meaning of the complex themes from childhood and create a meaningful narrative about themselves, and their relational and sexual lives. Sexuality enhances mastery and satisfaction." — Barry McCarthy, Professor of Psychology, American University, USA"On the topic of sex therapy, there is no one I trust more than Dr. Suzanne Iasenza. She is at home with patients who are lesbian, gay, queer, straight, non-binary, cisgender and trans. Wherever someone lands in what we might call the sexual diaspora, Iasenza is able to meet them with a capacious clinical wisdom. Relying on notions from narrative therapy, family systems, and psychoanalysis, she offers case examples that help couples and therapists move past outdated, normative goals to a model focused on willingness and pleasure. This is no less than a step towards the cultural redefinition of Eros." — Deborah Anna Luepnitz, PhD, Psychoanalyst and author of Schopenhauer's Porcupines, USA"Never before has the realm of the practice of sex therapy been explored in such depth, breadth and sensitivity. Suzanne Iasenza demonstrates the wide range of therapeutic interventions that can be called up in the process of healing and integration. She provides the reader with a lucid conceptual base and a detailed account of practical ways of doing sex therapy using her innovative model. She helps us rethink what is healthy sex, doing so with exquisite sensitivity to the cultural and socio-political issues that impact us all. This is essential reading for every couple therapist." — Lois Braverman, MSW, President Emeritus, Ackerman Institute for the Family, USA"With Transforming Sexual Narratives, Suzanne Iasenza has written an instant classic - a book that should be read by every clinician, not just those who consider themselves sex therapists. Weaving together the most current psychoanalytic theories, family systems theory, and a genuine understanding of the intersubjective nature of human experience, she builds a compelling narrative that builds to her own, very unique Relational Theory of Sex Therapy. Finally, we have an answer to that often-asked question "what is it that sex therapists actually do?" Iasenza not only tells us, but tells us how to do it effectively. The book is devoid of jargon, written with empathy and a directness accessible to all, and filled with meaningful clinical examples that bring her concepts alive. Debunking prevalent sexual myths like sex with strangers always lacks intimacy, Iasenza critiques the ubiquitous Desire-Arousal-Orgasm Model of sexual experience, that imposes a rigid linear scheme on what’s actually a complex multidimensional process. Most clients, she asserts, unknowingly internalize this model as the only model of "healthy" sexuality. The party line, she suggests, kills the party, and she offers a new model that includes each individual’s lived experience. I cannot recommend Transforming Sexual Narratives more highly. It will change how we all work." — Sandra Kiersky, PhD, Co-Editor "Sexualities lost and Found." International Universities Press or Institute for the Psychoanalytic Study of Subjectivity, USA"Suzanne Iasenza is a master clinician, an inspiring teacher, and an excellent writer. In Transforming Sexual Narratives, she builds upon earlier theoretical and clinical approaches to develop a comprehensive, practical, and effective methodology for achieving transformation. Iasenza offers a framework for Narrative Relational Therapy and a guide to practice with practical examples to share her professional experience with individuals and couples. She shows how to do work that gets to root of the problem and enables therapists and clients to examine the long-hidden core aspects of individual experience and the sexual persona. Her approach embraces the full complexity of a person and recognizes the depth of sexuality developed over a lifetime. She demonstrates how to clear obstacles and break patterns. This book provides therapists and patients with a clear vision that the change they seek is perfectly possible by stressing difference between desire and willingness, between history and fate, between limiting beliefs and real possibilities. Transforming Sexual Narratives is a genuinely helpful book that will transform clinical practice with people of all genders and sexual orientations, solo and partnered. It challenges assumptions, increases clinical competence, elevates our approach to human sexuality, and can truly transform clinical practice. As a sex therapist who works with individuals and couples I am energized and eager to get to work with these transformational tools." — Katherine Rachlin, PhD, Clinical Psychologist, AASECT diplomate of sex therapy, USA"Suzanne Iasenza's Transforming Sexual Narratives beautifully details an approach to sexual difficulty that has both far-reaching breadth and stunning depth. She creatively combines elements from a range of important contributors from behavioral therapy, psychodynamic approaches, sexology and mindfulness, to name a few. She applies the resulting tools to today's broad variety of sexualities -- to partnered and unpartnered sex, to gay and straight sex, polyamory and single sex in order to enable the clinician reader to develop an informed, flexible and tensile capacity to face the many issues that are the staple of modern work with sexual difficulty. Iasenza's widely informed and integrated approach will enhance the work of clinicians of all stripes who dedicate themselves to working with sex and relationships." — David Scharff, MD, is Co-Founder and Former Director, the International Psychotherapy Institute; Former President, The American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists; and Chair of the International Psychoanalytic Association's Committee on Couple and Family Psychoanalysis, USA"Sex therapy has evolved since the pioneering work of William Masters and Virginia Johnson. Their research was heavily focused on the physiological process that occurred in the body during intercourse and at the point of orgasm. But as someone once said, sex is not what you have between your legs but what you have between your ears. How do our thoughts, the narratives we tell ourselves and others, promote or interfere with healthy sexual functioning? Given the state of sexuality education in the United States, it is not surprising that many people believe that they are the only ones who feel or think the way they do. In Transforming Sexual Narratives: A Relational Approach to Sex Therapy, Dr. Iasenza demonstrates through the use of case histories, how a client’s mistaken sexual narratives can be transformed ‘to reclaim intimacy and satisfaction in their erotic lives.’ Dr. Iasenza’s approach to sex therapy offers a valuable guide for any psychotherapist who has clients with sexual problems." — Herb Samuels, PhD, Past President Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality, USA"Suzanne Iasenza’s new book, Transforming Sexual Narratives: A Relational Approach to Sex Therapy, builds upon her extraordinary body of previous clinically informed work on sexually conflicted, low desire, and otherwise struggling varieties of couples that are seeking an appropriate holding environment for sorting out and improving their intimate relationships. Her relational approach (NRST) embodies the best of scientific contributions from sexology, and sexual disorders literature and practice, but her contemporary psychoanalytic, clinical-technical wisdom captures the essential narratives of lived couple experience, past and present. What is truly transformative in these pages, for the beginning and experienced couple’s therapist, is how her chapters weave the sexual and interpersonal histories of each partnership into a therapeutic potential; opening a space for new emotional experience that both informs and improves empathic understanding, for couple use, enriching their relational mosaic. While readers of this book can learn about skills when working with sexual difficulties of couples, the strength of her work is in its humble translation of the internal and external worlds of her treatment couples. Dr. Iasenza embraces and expects a psychological-emotional exposure to occur and utilizes transferences and countertransference to cull the necessary underbelly of neglected, traumatized, and repressive elements so interpretive and technical measures can be applied. This book adds a necessary component of relationally sound clinical material for use in working with troubled couples presenting disorders of desire, and other symptoms of disappointment and dissatisfying interpersonal relations. I recommend it without hesitation. In fact, I recommend reading it twice." — Carl Bagnini, LCSW, BCD, Senior and Founding Faculty, The International Psychotherapy Institute, and faculty, The Adelphi Derner Institute Post-graduate and Doctoral Programs in Psychoanalysis and Couple Therapy, USA.

    Book SynopsisForeign Bodies: Eating Disorders, Childhood Sexual Abuse, and Trauma-Informed Treatment addresses the association between eating disorders and childhood sexual abuse, proposing a new way of treating those suffering from eating disorders who were sexually abused as children. Based on testimonies of survivors of abuse who subsequently developed eating disorders, it offers a new form of diagnosis and treatment, arguing that the eating-disorder field often ignores the traumatic sources of eating disorders, leading to some treatment programs not being commensurate, and at times conflicting, with the principles of childhood sexual abuse treatment.The case studies used to highlight the link between childhood sexual abuse and eating disorders are presented from the perspective of the women involved, in their own words. Their voices are supplemented by Gurâs own stance as a clinician specializing in the treatment of sexual abuse and CPTSD. The book is divided into three partsTrade Review"This long-awaited book addresses the needs of traumatized patients who struggle with dysregulated eating. Often in my practice as teacher and clinician I found myself in need for an authoritative text that will clarify why some patients do not respond well to best practice protocols for the treatment of eating disorders.Foreign Bodies is the book I have needed. It will guide clinicians through the distinctive drives and needs of traumatized individuals with eating disorders. Anat Gur eloquently argues her case in a clear but scientifically-based text laced with illuminating case studies. Her book is an important contribution to the improvement of care offered to many survivors of childhood adversity."Eli Somer, PhD, Clinical professor of psychology, University of Haifa. Past president, European Society for Trauma and Dissociation, International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation."FOREIGN BODIES is a persuasive and comprehensive book about eating disorders, sexual abuse, and trauma-informed treatment—which constitutes her sub-title. Complex and painful material is beautifully, gravelly, calmly, "maternally" described. Dr. Gur issues a clarion call for mental health professionals to streamline their understanding, diagnoses, and therapeutic plans for the at-risk victims of childhood sexual violence—the anorexics, bingers, drug addicts, prisoners, suicide artists, and prostituted girls and women. They are the survivors, often the mute witnesses of a long-denied plague, one which causes life-long devastation. Based on her own clinical work and on studies, Dr. Gur argues, persuasively, that an eating disorder is merely a symptom, not an underlying cause, and that anorexia, bulimia, and bingeing, as well as diagnoses such as dissociative disorder or borderline personality, are all part of a single but complex, post-traumatic stress disorder that itself is a normal, human response to early childhood violation and betrayal. The author, and her very moving interviewees, insist that denial on the part of parents, teachers, social workers, and mental health professionals, is as traumatizing as the sexual violence itself. I strongly and passionately recommend this book for scholars and clinicians, as well as civilians, who are all caught in the cross-fires of gender warfare."Phyllis Chesler Ph.D, Author of WOMEN AND MADNESS and WOMAN’S INHUMANITY TO WOMAN."With the publication of Foreign Bodies, Dr. Anat Gur makes a significant contribution to the field of eating disorders. Her work further informs providers, patients and their families about the central role that childhood sexual abuse, arguably one of the most damaging forms of child maltreatment, may play in the development of eating disorders. Such a crucial piece of the history is all too often missed or minimized and not integrated into a comprehensive treatment approach. This often leads to higher dropout, inadequate response, and/or early relapse. Dr. Gur amplifies that feminist voice against not only the original maltreatment of these young women who developed EDs but also of the mal-treatment that unknowing professionals inadvertently perpetrate on these women by their avoidance and minimization. Foreign Bodies is unique because it takes the reader through the painful, lived experiences of survivors who have endured such horrific experiences, which is often marked by extreme shame and guilt. Foreign Bodies further adds to the growing database demanding integrated Trauma-informed care and practice for this complex and often treatment-resistant subgroup of patients."Timothy D.

    Book SynopsisThis is a unique book that brings together contemporary research and practice around working with men and boys who are victims of domestic violence and abuse. The book features contributions from experts within the field who draw on the wide range of evidence that demonstrates the multifarious experiences of this victimisation.Trade Review"The new volume on male domestic violence victimization, edited by domestic violence scholars Elizabeth Bates and Julie Taylor, is a welcome addition to the growing literature on this much-neglected topic. The book provides a nice balance of empirical research findings and qualitative accounts from men whose voices are almost never heard elsewhere. As a research scholar, and as a clinician who has worked with both male and female domestic violence victims, as well as their abusers, for over three decades, I found the data presented to be accurate and up-to-date, and the personal accounts very much rang true. In particular, the chapter on men's experiences as victims of coercive control reminds us that while women are far more impacted by physical abuse, the consequences of psychological abuse are much more comparable across gender. The sections on family violence and post-separation abuse provided an enlightening set of findings with implications for disputed child custody cases, where gendered assumptions of domestic violence have for years unnecessarily kept fathers from their children, and anyone concerned about the safety of victims ought to be concerned about the findings presented in the chapter on obstacles male victims face when seeking services." John Hamel, PhD, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Private Practice and Editor-in-Chief of Partner Abuse."E. Bates and J. Taylor’s book presents an excellent and incisive analysis of different long-neglected issues that affect men who experience intimate partner violence. While the research on men’s partner victimization has been growing in the past ten-fifteen years, the book chapters cover a broad yet powerfully nuanced array of knowledge in this area, including men’s experiences of partner violence within the LGBTQ+ community, men’s experiences of coercive control and post-separation abuse, boys’ victimization within the family, and older men’s experiences of abuse. While men’s victimization is often considered a controversial issue, this book provides a balanced and nuanced analysis of the complexities of partner violence with the focus on men. Authors strongly support the use of gender-inclusive as opposed to gender-neutral language to highlight the importance of engaging consideration of men as not only the perpetrators but also as victims of abuse. As a compelling and informative work, this book is a must read for academics and practitioners alike, who seek to expand their knowledge and understanding of the challenges that men who experience partner violence face in different types of relationships and different contexts. I commend and admire Elizabeth Bates and Julie Taylor for putting together this book!"Alexandra (Sasha) Lysova, Associate Professor, School of Criminology, Simon Fraser University, Canada."Finally, here is a book that provides a resounding counterpoint to the gender-based violence discourse that focuses exclusively on female and child victimization - a discourse that has dominated global policy and politics about intimate partner violence for decades. Scientific evidence has been accumulating about the parity and impact of IPV on men and boys, yet this research and the experiences of these victims have been largely neglected and portrayed as anomalous or trivial. Bates and Taylor have compiled a set of chapters addressing a variety of topics that have been ignored in this larger IPV discourse, (e.g., intimate partner violence in the lives of gay, bisexual, and transgender men), each written in a balanced way by leading IPV scientists and scholars. The chapter authors not only review research evidence on the impact of IPV on men and boys, but they highlight topics that are ripe for scientific inquiry and understanding."Jennifer J. Harman, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Psychology, Colorado State University, USA.Table of Contents1. Introduction: The importance of this volume. 2.
