Later-Life Social Support and Service Provision in Diverse and
Vulnerable Populations offers current, multidisciplinary
perspectives on social support and service provision to older
Americans. The chapters trace how our understanding of social
support among older adults has developed over the past 40 years and
explore current gerontological research in the area. They consider
how informal care arrangements articulate with formal long-term
care policies and programs to provide support to the diverse
population of older Americans. They also emphasize heterogeneity in
the composition of support networks, particularly in relation to
gender, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, and immigrant status.
Collectively, the chapters provide insight into the complexity of
older adult's social support networks that can be used to improve
the services provided to caregivers and care recipients as well as
the policies that promote high-quality support to people of all
ages who are in need of assistance.
Emotional Presence in Psychoanalysis provides a detailed look at
the intricacies of attaining emotional presence in psychoanalytic
work. John Madonna and a distinguished group of contributors draw
on both the relational and modern psychoanalytic schools of thought
to examine a variety of different problems commonly experienced in
achieving emotional resonance between analyst and patient, setting
out ways in which such difficulties may be overcome in
psychoanalytic treatment, practical clinical settings and in
training contexts. A focused review of relevant comparative
literature is followed by chapters featuring individual clinical
case studies, each illustrating particularly challenging aspects.
The uniqueness of this book lays not simply in the espousal of the
commonly accepted importance of emotional resonance between analyst
and patient; rather it is in the way in which emotional presence is
registered by both participants, requiring a working through, which
at times can be not only difficult but dangerous. Such efforts
involve a theory which enables the lens to understanding, an
effective methodology which guides intervention. The book also
calls for the art of the analyst to construct with patients
meanings which heal, and possess the heart to persist in commitment
despite the odds. Emotional Presence in Psychoanalysis is about
patients who suffer, struggle, resist and prevail. It offers
distinctive, transparently told accounts of analysts who engage
with patients, navigating through states of confusion, hatred and
more controversial feelings of love. Emotional Presence in
Psychoanalysis features highly compelling material written in an
accessible and easily understood style. It will be a valuable
resource for psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists,
psychologists and clinical social workers as well as teachers,
trainers and students seeking to understand the power and potential
of the analytic process and the resistances to it.

This book is a collection of original essays on the meaning of providing care. These essays address not only the work of caring for the elderly, but also the work of caring for children, the infirm and those with disabilities. The essays approach the topic from an ethical standpoint and also from a more practical, feminist and sociological point of view. The main goal of this book is to re-conceive the notion of care work, beginning with steps as simple as replacing the phrase 'caregiver' with the phrase 'care worker'.
The contributors to Grandparenting in the United States, edited by
Madonna Harrington Meyer and Ynesse Abdul-Malak of Syracuse
University, use a variety of quantitative and qualitative data sets
to assess how grandparenting, and its impacts, vary by living
arrangements, economic status, education, gender, race, ethnicity,
and other stratifying variables. Some papers assess how the
provision of financial assistance, particularly during economic
downturns, may be easily absorbed or financially detrimental.
Others demonstrate how immigrant grandparents navigate multiple
sets of cultural expectations to provide childcare to their
grandchildren. Some show how Hispanic grandparents acculturation
level is linked to childcare and financial transfer across
generations. Others emphasize the extent to which schoolchildren
with disabilities are more likely to receive grandparent care,
particularly if the mother is single. Some reveal how custodial
grandmothers are significantly more likely to be poor, face social
isolation, and report poorer health. Others enumerate the positive,
and negative, impacts of frequent interaction for both generations.
In total, the volume underscores the impact of evolving
diversification of grandparenting across multiple generations.
In recent years the contribution of drama to second language
learning has grown internationally as a field of interest to both
teachers and researchers. The potential for drama to provide strong
social contexts for learning, to provide opportunities for the
learner to embody the target language and to motivate students'
desire to communicate have been increasingly recognized as fruitful
areas of inquiry. This book provides a brief historical perspective
on the development of this interest before presenting a range of
examples drawn from recent research projects led by those who are
themselves experienced as drama and second language teachers.
Drawing on a variety of theoretical perspectives and deploying a
range of methodological processes, the chapters present evidence as
to how and why drama can impact on student learning in a range of
classrooms, from the primary school through to undergraduate level.
Focusing on issues such as questioning in role, the professional
development of second language teachers interested in using drama,
and the role of artistry when applying drama as pedagogy for second
language learning, they provide an up to date picture of
contemporary practices and an acute analysis of both the
possibilities and the challenges facing researchers in the field.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Research
in Drama Education: The Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance.
Herring are vital to the productivity and health of marine systems,
and socio-ecologically Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) is one of
the most important fish species in the Northern Hemisphere. Human
dependence on herring has evolved for millennia through
interactions with key spawning areas—but humans have also
significantly impacted the species’ distribution and abundance.
Combining ethnological, historical, archaeological, and political
perspectives with comparative reference to other North Pacific
cultures, Herring and People of the North Pacific traces fishery
development in Southeast Alaska from precontact Indigenous
relationships with herring to postcontact focus on herring
products. Revealing new findings about current herring stocks as
well as the fish’s significance to the conservation of
intraspecies biodiversity, the book explores the role of
traditional local knowledge, in combination with archeological,
historical, and biological data, in both understanding marine
ecology and restoring herring to their former abundance.

refuses to leave him alone. From there unfolds an intricate tale of
corruption and murder that leads to an explosive scandal, with
consequences that, two decades hence, are finally revealed.

Winner of the 2014 Richard Kalish Innovative Publication Award
presented by the Gerontological Society of America Young working
mothers are not the only ones who are struggling to balance family
life and careers. Many middle-aged American women face this dilemma
as they provide routine childcare for their grandchildren while
pursuing careers and trying to make ends meet. Employment among
middle-aged women is at an all-time high. In the same way that
women who reduce employment hours when raising their young children
experience reductions in salary, savings, and public and private
pensions, the mothers of those same women, as grandmothers, are
rearranging hours to take care of their grandchildren, experiencing
additional loss of salary and reduced old age pension accumulation.
Madonna Harrington Meyer's Grandmothers at Work, based primarily on
48 in-depth interviews conducted in 2009-2012 with grandmothers who
juggle working and minding their grandchildren, explores the
strategies of, and impacts on, working grandmothers. While all of
the grandmothers in Harrington Meyer's book are pleased to spend
time with their grandchildren, many are readjusting work schedules,
using vacation and sick leave time, gutting retirement accounts,
and postponing retirement to care for grandchildren. Some simply
want to do this; others do it in part because they have more
security and flexibility on the job than their daughters do at
their relatively new jobs. Many are sequential grandmothers, caring
for one grandchild after the other as they are born, in very
intensive forms of grandmothering. Some also report that they are
putting off retirement out of economic necessity, in part due to
the amount of financial help they are providing their
grandchildren. Finally, some are also caring for their frail older
parents or ailing spouses just as intensively. Most expect to
continue feeling the pinch of paid and unpaid work for many years
before their retirement. Grandmothers at Work provides a unique
perspective on a phenomenon faced by millions of women in America
today.
