Originally published in 1993, this book traces how governments in
France, Germany, Britain, Denmark and Ireland became involved in
replacing industrial revolution urban slums with mass high-rise,
high-density concrete estates. As the book considers each country's
housing history and traditions, and analyses the contrasting
structures and systems, it finds convergence of problems in the
growing tensions of their most disadvantaged communities. The book
underlines the continuing drift towards deeper polarization, an
issue which has become ever more important in the multi-lingual,
ethnically diverse urban societies of the 21st Century. The book's
detailed coverage of the historical, political and social changes
relating to housing within the various countries make it an
important text for students and practitioners concerned with
housing, urban affairs, social policy and administration.
Originally published in 1987 this book examines attempts by
successive individuals and governments to overcome slum conditions
and homelessness, to reform landlord-tenant relations and to
provide sound modern dwellings with full amenities for those who
need them. Its focus is on how those responsible for public housing
concentrated their energies on buildings rather than management, on
property rather than people, in sharp distinction to the women who
played such an innovative and humanizing role in the early days of
housing reform. Efforts to resolve public housing problems are
examined in a study of twenty housing estates, and of the
initiatives that local authorities have taken to reverse the
sometimes overwhelming decay.
Forced Endings in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis: Attachment and
Loss in Retirement explores the ambivalence the therapist may feel
about letting go of a professional role which has sustained them.
Anne Power explores the process of closing a private practice, from
the first ethical decision-making, through to the last day when the
door of the therapy room shuts. She draws on the personal accounts
of retired therapists and others who had to impose an ending on
clients due to illness, in order to move house, to take maternity
leave or a sabbatical. A forced ending is an intrusion of the
clinician's own needs into the therapeutic space. Anne Power shows
how this might compromise the work but may also be an opportunity
for deeper engagement. Drawing on attachment theory to understand
how the therapeutic couple cope with an imposed separation, Power
includes interviews with therapists who took a temporary break to
demonstrate the commonality of challenges faced by those who need
to impose an ending on clients. Forced Endings in Psychotherapy and
Psychoanalysis opens up an area which has been considered taboo in
the profession so that future cohorts can benefit from the
reflections and insights of this earlier generation. It will
support clinicians making this transition and aims to support
ethical practice so that clients are not exposed to unnecessary
risks of the sudden termination of a long treatment. This book will
be essential reading for practicing psychotherapists and
psychoanalysts, and to undergraduate and post-graduate students in
clinical psychology, psychiatry and social work

This original book builds on the author's research in Phoenix
cities to present a vivid story of Europe's post-industrial cities
pre- and post- financial crisis. The book compares changes between
Northern and Southern European countries, bigger and smaller
cities, to present a compelling framework showing how Europe's
cities are striving to combat environmental and social unravelling.

This book is about family life in areas of concentrated poverty and
social problems - areas where it is difficult to bring up children
and where surrounding conditions make family life more fraught and
more difficult. The book is based on a long-run UK study of
neighborhood conditions as they affect parents raising their
children. The book draws on the lives of 200 families that the
authors interviewed annually over a 10 year period. It examines the
future prospects of families living in low income urban areas that
suffer multiple problems of deprivation. It provides a unique
insight into: what families need, what works and doesn't work, what
helps or hinders, what is left to do, and which new approaches may
be helpful. (Series: CASE Studies on Poverty, Place and Policy)
'Weak market cities' across European and America, or 'core cities'
as they were in their heyday, went from being 'industrial giants'
dominating their national, and eventually the global, economy, to
being 'devastation zones'. In a single generation three quarters of
all manufacturing jobs disappeared, leaving dislocated,
impoverished communities, run down city centres and a massive
population exodus. So how did Europeans react? And how different
was their response from America's? This book looks closely at the
recovery trajectories of seven European cities from very different
regions of the EU. Their dramatic decline, intense recovery efforts
and actual progress on the ground underline the significance of
public underpinning in times of crisis. Innovative enterprises,
new-style city leadership, special neighbourhood programmes and
skills development are all explored. The American experience, where
cities were largely left 'to their own devices', produced a slower,
more uncertain recovery trajectory. This book will provide much
that is original and promising to all those wanting to understand
the ground-level realities of urban change and progress.

Seen through the eyes of parents, mainly mothers, "City survivors"
tells the eye-opening story of what it is like to bring up children
in troubled city neighbourhoods. The book provides a unique insider
view on the impact of neighbourhood conditions on family life and
explores the prospects for families from the point of view of
equality, integration, schools, work, community, regeneration and
public services. "City Survivors" is based on yearly visits over
seven years to two hundred families living in four highly
disadvantaged city neighbourhoods, two in East London and two in
Northern inner and outer city areas. Twenty four families, six from
each area, explain over time from the inside, how neighbourhoods in
and of themselves directly affect family survival. These twenty
four stories convey powerful messages from parents about the
problems they want tackled, and the things that would help them.
The main themes explored in the book are neighbourhood, community,
family, parenting, incomes and locals, the need for civic
intervention. The book offers original and in-depth, qualitative
evidence in a readable and accessible form that will be invaluable
to policy-makers, practitioners, university students, academics and
general readers interested in the future of families in cities.

This new book explores Britain's intensely urban and increasingly
global communities as interlocking pieces of a complex jigsaw
puzzle, which are deeply unequal. How did our major cities become
so divided? How do they respond to housing and neighborhood decay?
Jigsaw Cities examines these issues using Birmingham, Britain's
second largest city and pioneer of the modern urban order, as the
strongest model of the drive to create public solutions to private
squalor. The book offers a unique insider perspective on policy
making and it records the continuing urban flight that traps the
poor and pays the rich to move out.
This moving book about the lives of families in London's East End
gives important new insights into neighbourhood relations
(including race relations), through the eyes of the local
community. What hope is there of change? Using an up-to-date
account of life in East London, the authors illustrate how cities
faced with neighbourhoods in decline are changing. East Enders: *
gives a bird's eye view of neighbourhood problems and assets; *
provides policy recommendations based on real life experiences; *
tackles topical issues such as race relations, mothers and work,
urban revival and social disorder through the eyes of families; *
is authored by leading experts in community studies. Undergraduate
and postgraduate students in social policy, sociology,
anthropology, urban studies, child development, geography, housing
and public administration should all read this book. Policy makers

workers in towns and cities and general readers interested in the
life and history of urban neighbourhoods will also find this book
an invaluable source of information.
Chikungunya and Zika Viruses: Global Emerging Health Threats is the
go-to resource for both historical and current information on this
important virus that is rapidly increasing its global range.
Epidemics since 2005 have spread from Africa and Asia, and through
Europe, and an ongoing epidemic has caused nearly two million cases
in the Americas. It causes severe crippling arthritis, with
symptoms lasting for months or years. As no vaccine or treatment is
available, there is international interest in the virus, thus
funding opportunities for research have dramatically increased.
This book presents our understanding of the virus, bringing
comprehensive knowledge in a single source.
