Written by a recognized expert in assessment employed by a large
managed behavioral healthcare organization (MBHO), this book seeks
to provide psychologists who rely on testing as an integral part of
their practice, a guide on how to survive and thrive in the era of
managed behavioral healthcare. It also offers ideas on how to
capitalize on the opportunities that managed care presents to
psychologists. The goal is to demonstrate that despite the
tightening of the reins on authorizations for reimbursable testing,
psychological testing can continue to play an important role in
psychological practice and behavioral healthcare service delivery.
The book presents ideas for: *increasing the likelihood of getting
tests authorized by MBHOs; *using inexpensive/public domain
assessment instruments; *ethically using psychological testing in
MBHO settings; *capitalizing on the movement to integrate primary
care and behavioral healthcare through the use of psychological
testing; and *designing and implementing outcomes assessment
systems within MBHO settings. Intended for practicing psychologists
and other behavioral health practitioners employed by MBHOs in
direct service delivery, care management or supervisory positions,
as well as for graduate clinical or counseling psychology students
who will most likely work in MBHO settings.

Berlin Berlin is a satirical selection from the man with the acid
pen and the perfect pitch for hypocrisy, who was as much the voice
of 1920s Berlin as Georg Grosz was its face. It shines a light on
the Weimar Republic and the post-World War I struggle, which
fore-shadowed the Third Reich. Kurt Tucholsky was a brilliant
satirist, poet, storyteller, lyricist, pacifist, and Democrat; a
fighter, lady's man, reporter, and early warner against the Nazis
who hated and loathed him and drove him out of his country. He was
a "small, fat Berliner," who "wanted to stop a catastrophe with his
typewriter," wrote his contemporary, Erich Kastner. When he began
to write, he had five voices-in the end, he had none. He was one of
the most famous journalists in Weimar Germany, surrounded by women,
but he died alone in Sweden, an enemy of the state, among the first
authors whose books were burned and banned by the Nazis in 1933.
But he is not forgotten. This book collects Tucholsky's news
stories, features, satirical pieces, and poems about his home town
Berlin, never published in America before. With a foreword by New
York author Anne Nelson and an introduction by Ian King, the chair
of the Kurt-Tucholsky-Society.
For years, the history of the anti-Nazi resistance in Germany was
hidden and distorted by Cold War politics. Providing a much-needed
corrective, Red Orchestra presents the dramatic story of a circle
of German citizens who opposed Hitler from the start, choosing to
stay in Germany to resist Nazism and help its victims. The book
shines a light on this critical movement which was made up of
academics, theatre people, and factory workers; Protestants,
Catholics and Jews; around 150 Germans all told and from all walks
of life. Drawing on archives, memoirs, and interviews with
survivors, award-winning scholar and journalist Anne Nelson
presents a compelling portrait of the men and women involved, and
the terrifying day-to-day decisions in their lives, from the Nazi
takeover in 1933 to their Gestapo arrest in 1942. Nelson traces the
story of the Red Orchestra (Rote Kapelle) resistance movement
within the context of German history, showing the stages of the
Nazi movement and regime from the 1920s to the end of the Second
World War. She also constructs the narrative around the life of
Greta Kuckhoff and other female figures whose role in the anti-Nazi
resistance fight is too-often unrecognised or under appreciated.
This revised edition includes: * A new introduction which explores
elements of the Red Orchestra’s experience that resonate with our
times, including: the impact of new media technologies; the dangers
of political polarization; and the way the judiciary can be shaped
to further the ends of autocracy. The introduction will also
address the long-standing misconception that the German Resistance
only took action when it was clear that Germany was losing the war.
* Historiographic updates throughout the book which take account of
recent literature and additional archival sources
The thrilling and previously untold true story of Suzanne Spaak,
who abandoned her life of opulence to save the Jewish children of
Occupied Paris during the Second World War. Suzanne Spaak was born
into an affluent Belgian Catholic family and married into the
country's leading political dynasty. Her brother-in-law was the
prime minister while her husband Claude was a playwright and patron
of the painter Rene Magritte. In occupied Paris she was part of the
cultural elite and a neighbour of Colette and Jean Cocteau. But
Suzanne was living a double life. Her friendship with a Polish
Jewish refugee led her to her life's purpose. When France fell and
the Nazis occupied Paris, she joined the Resistance. She used her
fortune and social status to enlist allies among wealthy Parisians
and church groups. Under the eyes of the Gestapo, Suzanne and women
from the Jewish and Christian resistance groups 'kidnapped'
hundreds of Jewish children to save them from the gas chambers.
Codename Suzette is a masterpiece of research and narrative,
bringing to life a truly remarkable woman and painting a vivid and
unforgettable picture of wartime Paris.
