Guilford Publications Perfectionism
Book SynopsisGrounded in decades of influential research, this book thoroughly examines perfectionism: how it develops, its underlying mechanisms and psychological costs, and how to target it effectively in psychotherapy. The authors describe how perfectionistic tendencies--rooted in early relational and developmental experiences--make people vulnerable to a wide range of clinical problems. They present an integrative treatment approach and demonstrate ways to tailor interventions to the needs of individual clients. A group treatment model is also detailed. State-of-the-art assessment tools are discussed (and provided at the companion website). Throughout the book, vivid clinical illustrations make the core ideas and techniques concrete.

Rutgers University Press Building Financial Empowerment for Survivors of
Book SynopsisEach year, millions of women throughout the world experience violence and abuse at the hands of their intimate partner. Abusers coercively control them by using a variety of tactics ranging from physical or sexual violence to emotional or psychological abuse. An additional tactic often used includes financial abuse in which the abuser controls the money in the family, exploits the victim’s financial standing, and interrupts her efforts to be self-sufficient. The impact of financial abuse can leave women financially trapped in the relationship with limited financial management skills, knowledge, or self-confidence. Indeed, survivors often mention financial barriers as a top reason for keeping them trapped by the abuser in the relationship. Curiously, little of the research on domestic violence has sought to either fully understand the impact of financial abuse or to determine which intervention strategies are most effective for the financial empowerment of survivors. Building Financial Empowerment for Survivors of Domestic Violence aims to address this critical knowledge gap by providing those who work with survivors of domestic violence with practical knowledge on how to empower the financial well-being and stability of survivors. Specifically, every practitioner, human service provider, criminal justice practitioner, financial manager, and corporate supervisor should be screening the women they encounter for economic abuse, and when such abuse is found, they should work with the women toward developing financial safety plans and refer survivors to financial empowerment programs to assist survivors to become free from abuse.Trade Review"At a time when high inflation is having a devastating impact, particularly on single-parent families, and the threat of a recession looms, this book could not be more timely. It alerts us to the need to respond not only to the emotional needs of IPV victims and their children but also to the fact that escape and healing are not possible without a sound financial footing and the economic resources necessary to survive and thrive." — Claire M. Renzetti, Judi Conway Patton Endowed Chair for Studies of Violence Against Women, University of Kentucky "This book is a well-needed and superbly crafted volume in the field of domestic violence. It should be widely read, and its lessons put into practice by those who are involved in services and advocacy for survivors of this violence. Financial empowerment needs to be embedded into these services and this book should be on the bookshelf in every shelter and in all the libraries for academics and students alike."— Louise Simmons, co-editor of Igniting Justice and Progressive Power: The Partnership for Working Families Cities "At a time when high inflation is having a devastating impact, particularly on single-parent families, and the threat of a recession looms, this book could not be more timely.

Rutgers University Press Climbing a Broken Ladder: Contributors of College
Book SynopsisAlthough foster youth have college aspirations similar to their peers, fewer than one in ten ultimately complete a two-year or four-year college degree. What are the major factors that influence their chances of succeeding? Climbing a Broken Ladder advances our knowledge of what can be done to improve college outcomes for a student group that has largely remained invisible in higher education. Drawing on data from one of the most extensive studies of young people in foster care, Nathanael J. Okpych examines a wide range of factors that contribute to the chances that foster youth enroll in college, persist in college, and ultimately complete a degree. Okpych also investigates how early trauma affects later college outcomes, as well as the impact of a significant child welfare policy that extends the age limit of foster care. The book concludes with data-driven and concrete recommendations for policy and practice to get more foster youth into and through college.Trade Review"Climbing a Broken Ladder provides a rigorous collection of observational studies that outline the key challenges foster alumni face in their post-secondary education journeys and speaks to critical solutions that child welfare and higher education authorities should heed.

Rutgers University Press Global Child: Children and Families Affected by
Book SynopsisArmed conflicts continue to wreak havoc on children and families around the world with profound effects. In 2017, 420 million children—nearly one in five—were living in conflict-affected areas, an increase in 30 million from the previous year. The recent surge in war-induced migration, referred to as a “global refugee crisis” has made migration a highly politicized issue, with refugee populations and host countries facing unique challenges. We know from research related to asylum seeking families that it is vital to think about children and families in relation to what it means to stay together, what it means for parents to be separated from their children, and the kinds of everyday tensions that emerge in living in dangerous, insecure, and precarious circumstances. In Global Child, the authors draw on what they have learned through their collaborative undertakings, and highlight the unique features of participatory, arts-based, and socio-ecological approaches to studying war-affected children and families, demonstrating the collective strength as well as the limitations and ethical implications of such research. Building on work across the Global South and the Global North, this book aims to deepen an understanding of their tri-pillared approach, and the potential of this methodology for contributing to improved practices in working with war-affected children and their families.Trade Review"Global Child is a gift. It enables the reader to see and understand what ecological, participatory, ethical, and collaborative work looks like; and it makes me hopeful for research, practice, and policy in contexts of conflict and migration that embodies the listening, unlearning, and re-envisioning that this book illuminates." -- Sarah Dryden-Peterson * Author of Right Where We Belong: How Refugee Teachers and Students Are Changing the Future of Education *"Global Child, skillfully edited by Denov, Mitchell, and Rabiau, is a richly textured collection that highlights the impact of war, displacement, and migration on children and families worldwide. The compelling use of participatory, arts-based research makes visible the courage, integrity, and creativity of both researchers and participants alike. Their difficult knowledge needs to be widely shared in the Global North and the Global South." -- Bonny Norton * Author of Identity and Language Learning *"Global Child is a gift.

Bohlau Verlag Mission Textbook: The History of the Georg Eckert
Book SynopsisTextbook revision and research have historically been two of the central pillars of the work of the Georg Eckert Institute, and remain so today. The history of the Institute demonstrates just how intertwined they are. Against this backdrop, the development of the Institute is presented and critically examined from different perspectives, using a broad range of source materials. The book pays particular attention to the collection of textbooks for the humanities and social sciences, which has been important from the beginning and is now the largest in the world. The history of the Institute illustrates how academic perspectives, as well as political and financial instruments, related to textbook research and revision have changed as part of the shift from bilateral cooperation to global networks. The Institute has always responded to changing social contexts and its foci have provided important stimuli for economists, education practitioners and policy makers.

V&R unipress GmbH Haltung als Sozialitat im Widerstreit:
Book SynopsisA specific characteristic of psychosocial counseling can be seen in negotiating private-intimate (counseling) in a public-social space (counseling institution). A challenge in developing theories of psychosocial counseling is to consider both perspectives which can be described as the ethical (inter-individual level) and the political (social level) in order to do justice to both. The exploration of both perspectives of an ethics of alterity according to Levinas and a governmentality of counseling according to Foucault shows that both levels are incompatible. A figure of the third party reveals a hinge, which not so much brings both levels together but rather marks a place of discussion and conflict this is what characterizes psychosocial counseling.

The multifaceted questions are analysed from different perspectives using multi-layered sources from the 19th and 20th centuries in a broad geography.

NUS Press A Tiger Remembers: The Way We Were in Singapore
Book SynopsisBorn in the Year of the Fire Tiger, Ann Wee moved to Singapore in 1950 to marry into a Singaporean Chinese family, entering into a new world of cultural expectations and domestic rituals. She went on to become a pioneer in Singapore’s fledging social welfare department and is often described as the founding mother of social work in Singapore. In A Tiger Remembers, she draws on her decades of experience getting to know the many shapes and forms of the Singapore family and witnessing how they transformed since the ’50s. Wee’s talent is for remembering and paying homage to the things history books often deem insignificant—things that can contain some of the most illuminating details about the day to day inner workings of families from many backgrounds, such as terms of endearment; the emotional nuance in social relations; questions of hygiene; the stories of convicts; tales of ghost wives and changeling babies; anecdotes from rural clan settlements and migrant dormitories; and the migration of families from squatter settlements into public housing. Affectionately observed and wittily narrated, with a deep appreciation of how far Singapore has come, this book brings to life generations of social change through a focus on the institution of the family.Trade Review“In narrating the stories of people and places Wee encountered in her years of cross-cultural learning in Singapore and Malaya (now Malaysia), she unfolds untold stories of our past. They will be new to many young Singaporeans today. I am certain this memoir will stimulate important conversations about our past heritage and culture.”
