Taylor & Francis Ltd The A-Z of Loss: The Handbook for Health Care
'Loss, or rather the sense of loss, has to be one of the hardest psychological problems that face human beings.' We live in aspirational times. It is all too easy for people who have more to believe they are more, and by identifying ourselves by what we have, we are increasingly vulnerable to loss. This unusual and engaging book is designed for all health care professionals as a reminder of the need for sensitivity in the clinical encounter and to encourage the application of an holistic approach to medicine in everyday practice. The A-Z of Loss comprises twenty-six varied clinical scenarios arranged alphabetically to stimulate thought and consideration. Each is followed by a psychological analysis of loss and questions for personal development. This highly practical guide is suitable for all professionals who encounter grieving people. '… should be on every healthcare professional’s shelf. Health care education now includes training in communication skills. This is even more essential as we deal with an increasingly well-informed and sophisticated public.

Indiana University Press From Mouse to Mermaid: The Politics of Film, Gender, and Culture
From Mouse to Mermaid, an interdisciplinary collection of original essays, is the first comprehensive, critical treatment of Disney cinema. Addressing children's classics as well as the Disney affiliates' more recent attempts to capture adult audiences, the contributors respond to the Disney film legacy from feminist, marxist, poststructuralist, and cultural studies perspectives. The volume contemplates Disney's duality as an American icon and as an industry of cultural production, created in and through fifty years of filmmaking. The contributors treat a range of topics at issue in contemporary cultural studies: the performance of gender, race, and class; the engendered images of science, nature, technology, family, and business. The compilation of voices in From Mouse to Mermaid creates a persuasive cultural critique of Disney's ideology.The contributors are Bryan Attebery, Elizabeth Bell, Claudia Card, Chris Cuomo, Ramona Fernandez, Henry A. Giroux, Robert Haas, Lynda Haas, Susan Jeffords, N. Soyini Madison, Susan Miller, Patrick Murphy, David Payne, Greg Rode, Laura Sells, and Jack Zipes.
