The purpose of this handbook, originally published in 1984, was to
provide a compreh- sive review of current clinical descriptions,
research , and theories of psychopathology. Descriptive
psychopathology is a ?eld that forms the foundation of clinical
practice and research in clinical psychology, psychiatry,
psychiatric social work, psychiatric nursing, and allied
professions in mental health. Since the 1st edition, the editors
have devised and updated a handbook to cover both general and
speci?c topics in psychopathology that would be useful to
researchers, practitioners, and graduate or other advanced students
in the mental health and behavioral medicine professions. To
implement this plan, we have very carefully chosen colleagues whom
we respect for their expertise in particular ?elds. These authors
include both clinicians and researchers who have outstanding
national reputations, as well as more junior behavioral scientists
and clinicians who, in our opinion, will achieve similar
recognition in the future. The excellent chapters in this book lead
us to believe that we have chosen wisely. We would like to express
our appreciation to these authors for their outstanding
contributions and cooperation.

Advances in Autoethnography and Narrative Inquiry pays homage to
two prominent scholars, Arthur Bochner and Carolyn Ellis, for their
formative and formidable contributions to autoethnography, personal
narrative, and alternative forms of scholarship. Their
autoethnographic-and life-project gives us tools for understanding
shared humanity and precious diversity; for striving to become
ever-more empathic, loving, and ethical; and for living our best
creative, relational, and public lives. The collection is organized
into two sections: "Foundations" and "Futures." Contributors to
"Foundations" explore Carolyn and Art's scholarship and legacy
and/or their singular presence in the author's life. Contributors
to "Futures" offer novel and innovative applications of
autoethnographic and narrative inquiry. Throughout, contributors
demonstrate how Bochner's and Ellis' work has created and shifted
the terrain of autoethnographic and narrative research. This
collection will be of interest to researchers familiar with
Bochner's and Ellis' research. It also serves as a resource for
graduate students, scholars, and professionals who have an interest
in autoethnographic and narrative research. This collection can be
used in upper-division undergraduate courses and graduate courses
solely about autoethnography and narrative, and as a secondary text
for courses about ethnography and qualitative research.
Identity Re-creation in Global African Encounters explores race,
racial politics, and racial transformation in the context of
Africaâs encounters with non-African communities through various
perspectives including oppression, racialization of ethnic
difference, and identity deconstruction. While the contributors
recognize that ethnicity has long been a staple analytical category
of engagements between African and non-African communities, they
present a holistic view of the continent and its diaspora through
race outside of both colonial and neocolonial binaries, allowing
for a more nuanced study of Africa and its diaspora.

Winner of the 2018 TWS Wildlife Publication Awards in the authored
book category Urban development is one of the leading worldwide
threats to conserving biodiversity. In the near future, wildlife
management in urban landscapes will be a prominent issue for
wildlife professionals. This new edition of Urban Wildlife
Management continues the work of its predecessors by providing a
comprehensive examination of the issues that increase the need for
urban wildlife management, exploring the changing dynamics of the
field while giving historical perspectives and looking at current
trends and future directions. The book examines a range of topics
on human interactions with wildlife in urbanized environments. It
focuses not only on ecological matters but also on political,
economic, and societal issues that must be addressed for successful
management planning. This edition features an entirely new section
on urban wildlife species, including chapters on urban communities,
herpetofauna, birds, ungulates, mammals, carnivores, and feral and
introduced species. The third edition features Five new chapters 12
updated chapters Four new case studies Seven new appendices and
species profiles 90 new figures A comprehensive analysis of
terrestrial vertebrate locations by state and urban observations
Each chapter opens with a set of key concepts which are then
examined in the following discussions. Suggested learning
experiences to enhance knowledge conclude each chapter. The species
profiles cover not only data about the animal concerned but also
detail significant current management issues related to the
species. An updated and expanded teaching tool, Urban Wildlife
Management, Third Edition identifies the challenges and
opportunities facing wildlife in urban communities as well as
factors that promote or threaten their presence. It gives both
students and professionals a solid grounding in the required
fundamental ecological principles for understanding the effects of
human-made environments on wildlife.
Urban Deer Havens consists of a thorough examination of selected
cervid (deer) species that are known to inhabit urban communities
in the United States. The deer species that are included in this
presentation consisted of white-tailed (Odocoileus virginianus),
Key deer (O. v. clavium), moose (Alces alces), elk (Cervus
elaphus), mule (Odocoileus hemionus), and black-tailed deer (O. h.
columbianus). This book is the first attempt to examine the
similarities and differences in those factors that allow the
selected cervids to exist and thrive in urban habitats. This
information has never been collected, collated, reviewed, and
published under one cover document. Yet, all five are known to
inhabit urban communities within their geographic range. The lack
of information concerning several important examples of urban
cervids in conjunction with a proliferation of information on
white-tailed deer only is an incomplete and biased presentation.
This book is the first comprehensive source of information on urban
deer management, which includes a broad assemblage of urban
cervids. The overall objective of this book is to provide a more
holistic examination of urban cervids. For example, it examines the
similarities and differences of the environmental impacts,
management strategies, and human dimensions considerations
concerning urban cervids in general, and using specific examples.
Urban Deer Havens features four chapters that include: Urban deer
census techniques and population dynamics Comprehensive tables that
review urban community deer management plans National and
state-wide estimates the five selected cervids Laws and regulations
concerning urban deer Lethal and nonlethal management options for
managing deer Steps for managing urban deer populations Examples of
urban deer management efforts

Popular culture helps construct, define, and impact our everyday
realities and must be taken seriously because popular culture is,
simply, popular. Communication Perspectives on Popular Culture
brings together communication experts with diverse backgrounds,
from interpersonal communication, business and organizational
communication, mass communication, media studies, narrative,
rhetoric, gender studies, autoethnography, popular culture studies,
and journalism. The contributors tackle such topics as music,
broadcast and Netflix television shows, movies, the Internet, video
games, and more, as they connect popular culture to personal
concerns as well as larger political and societal issues. The
variety of approaches in these chapters are simultaneously situated
in the present while building a foundation for the future, as
contributors explore new and emerging ways to approach popular
culture. From case studies to emerging theories, the contributors
examine how popular culture, media, and communication influence our
everyday lives.
The second edition of the award-winning Handbook of Autoethnography
is a thematically organized volume that contextualizes contemporary
practices of autoethnography and examines how the field has
developed since the publication of the first edition in 2013.
Throughout, contributors identify key autoethnographic themes and
commitments and offer examples of diverse, thoughtful, effective,
applied, and innovative autoethnography. The second edition is
organized into five sections: In Section 1, Doing Autoethnography,
contributors explore definitions of autoethnography, identify and
demonstrate key features of autoethnography, and engage
philosophical, relational, cultural, and ethical foundations of
autoethnographic practice. In Section 2, Representing
Autoethnography, contributors discuss forms and techniques for the
process and craft of creating autoethnographic projects, using
various media in/as autoethnography, and marking and making visible
particular identities, knowledges, and voices. In Section 3,
Teaching, Evaluating, and Publishing Autoethnography, contributors
focus on supporting and supervising autoethnographic projects. They
also offer perspectives on publishing and evaluating
autoethnography. In Section 4, Challenges and Futures of
Autoethnography, contributors consider contemporary challenges for
autoethnography, including understanding autoethnography as a
feminist, posthumanist, and decolonialist practice, as well as a
method for studying texts, translations, and traumas. The volume
concludes with Section 5, Autoethnographic Exemplars, a collection
of sixteen classic and contemporary texts that can serve as models
of autoethnographic scholarship. With contributions from more than
50 authors representing more than a dozen disciplines and writing
from various locations around the world, the handbook develops,
refines, and expands autoethnographic inquiry and qualitative
research. This text will be a primary resource for novice and
advanced researchers alike in a wide range of social science
disciplines.

A comprehensive look at urban schools using history as a lens for
coming to grips with present-day social, political, legal, and
economic realities reflected in our urban education system. It's a
blackboard jungle out there. Metal detectors at entrances,
Overcrowded classrooms. Leaking roofs. Armed guards in the
corridors. Burned-out teachers. Apathetic parents. No wonder Johnny
can't read - even though he graduated. Explore how our urban
students reached this stage, and what can be done to make it right.
Here is the most recent information on the crises in our urban
schools, from inadequate funding and student poverty to racial and
ethnic schisms in the classroom, poorly prepared teachers, and
more. The author skillfully maneuvers through the conflicting
claims of administrators, school boards, teacher blocs, and other
vested interests, to present a balanced overview. Urban Education
encompasses the historical perspectives from the late 19th century
to the present on urban schooling. It examines the social and
political context of schools and the impact of court decisions on
education in our urban schools. The book provides insightful
analyses of teaching, curriculum and assessmen
Motivated by the death of his partner, Adams seeks to redefine the
closet as a relational construct between all people and all
sexualities. The closet is explored at each stage--entering it,
inhabiting it, and coming out of it--and strategies are offered for
reframing difficult closet experiences. Adams makes use of
interviews, personal narratives, and autoethnography to analyze
lived, relational experiences of sexuality. This is a must have for
scholars and students of gender studies, qualitative research, and
for any reader who has felt the closet's reach.
In the contemporary world, war rivals infectious disease as a
global cause of morbidity and mortality. Since the end of World War
II, there have been at least 160 wars around the world with as many
as 25 million (and probably many more) people killed, most of them
civilians. Directly or indirectly, war touches the lives of most
people on the planet, often with lasting and costly impact. Framed
by the holistic and ethnographically grounded theoretical
perspective of critical medical anthropology, and more broadly by
the political economy of health, this book of essays by leading
medical anthropologists and other health social scientists
carefully examines the global effects of war, the war industry, and
the international weapons trade on human health and well-being.
Further, this book goes beyond offering a lively and readable
account of a pressing health concern by critically analyzing the
political and economic forces driving the war machine to inflict
ever-increasing levels of social suffering and loss of life.
If the church is going to use the Bible to decide whether divorce
is legitimate in certain cases and whether divorced couples have
the right to remarry with the approval and blessing of God's
people, then the Bible must be studied without prejudice toward a
particular answer. The author examines the relevant passages in
both the Old and New Testaments so that his readers can consider
the many issues and interpretations that arise in trying to
establish a consistently biblical position. As a result, readers
can see more clearly and accept more firmly the truth of Scripture.
The book succeeds at being exactly what the author wanted it to be:
"a comprehensive, lucid, accurate study presented in a readable and
practical style. . . ." It is a valuable resource for the pastor,
counselor, church leader, and others who are struggling to
understand and apply scriptural principles to the problems of
divorce and remarriage.
