The treatment, assessment, intervention and evaluation of sexual
deviants are topics that have experienced a recent resurgence in
the mental health fields, as the number of reported sex abuse cases
continues to rise. Practitioners are increasingly faced with both
criminal and non-criminal sex offenders with a variety of
backgrounds, abuses, and treatment history. Specialists and
non-specialists alike are often unprepared and ill-equipped for the
myriad of disorders prevalent in today's society. "Treating Sexual
Offenders" provides the therapist with a guide to the assessment,
treatment, and evaluation of a number of different disorders,
including fetishisms, transvestic fetishisms, exhibitionism,
frottage, pedophilia, sexual sadism, sexual masochism, telephone
scatologia, voyeurism, rape, child molestation, and incest. Through
extensive consideration of current research, theory and practice,
the authors provide the clinician with the means to have a
continued positive impact on the sex offender, from assessment to
post-treatment evaluation and follow-up.

Gender-based violence is an issue often met with silence,
unempathetic discourse, and troublesome visual representation. As
educators, mentors, and public facilitators, how can we address
this subject in our teaching spaces, curricula, texts, and
conversations with greater care and understanding? And, what do we
need as resources to cultivate these deeper insights and new roads
to increased awareness and dynamic healing? Building decentered and
empowering spaces is vital to addressing gender-based violence. In
an educational setting, this must take into consideration
instructors', students', and other professionals' own histories of
and relationships to traumatic experience. The authors provide a
cross-disciplinary dialogue involving spaces ranging from
first-year writing programs to international classrooms to public
art installation. What holds the conversation together is a
collective emphasis on transnational feminist pedagogy and pedagogy
of the oppressed while also prioritizing affective discourse. This
combination of approaches is used to not only open the conversation
itself, but to also pointedly deconstruct standard patriarchal
practices found in academia and other institutional settings. With
contributions from scholars and practitioners from a variety of
disciplines, cultures and educational backgrounds, Trauma-Informed
Pedagogy brings visibility to perpetuated violence and silence
through a range of genres, including poetry, syllabi, and critical
reflections, offering an invaluable resource for instructors and
workshop facilitators interested in approaches that decentralize
learning spaces and empowers all participants.

Manhood Enslaved reconstructs the lives of three male captives to
bring intellectual and historical clarity to our understanding of
enslaved peoples in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century
central New Jersey. Manhood Enslaved reconstructs the lives of
three male captives to bring greater intellectual and historical
clarity to the muted lives of enslaved peoples in eighteenth- and
early nineteenth-century central New Jersey, where blacks were held
in bondage for nearly two centuries. The book contributes to an
evolving body of historical scholarship arguing that the lives of
bondpeople in America were shaped not only by the powerful forces
of racial oppression, but also by their own notions of gender. The
volume uses previously understudied, white-authored,
nineteenth-century literature about central New Jersey slaves as a
point of departure. Reading beyond the racist assumptionsof the
authors, it contends that the precarious day-to-day existence of
the three protagonists -- Yombo Melick, Dick Melick, and Quamino
Buccau (Smock) -- provides revealing evidence about the various
elements of "slave manhood" that gave real meaning to their
oppressed lives. Kenneth E. Marshall is Assistant Professor of
History at the State University of New York at Oswego.
What is truly real? Rudolf Steiner sheds light on everyday reality
through spiritual knowledge, repeatedly urging us to bring
anthroposophy into daily human existence. We might consciously
experience the difference between consuming a potato as compared to
cereals such as rye, for example - or we could grasp ordinary
phenomena, such as sleepwalking, through an understanding of the
threefold human being. Likewise, we might strive to comprehend how
our head is the transformed organism of our previous life.
Throughout, Steiner emphasizes that we can achieve spirituality on
earth if only we make anthroposophy real. The twelve lectures here
were delivered during the portentous year of 1923, in the context
of increasing attacks from Steiner's opponents. His architectural
masterpiece, the first Goetheanum, had already been destroyed by
fire, but he was yet to refound the Anthroposophical Society at the
Christmas Conference. In these uncertain times, Steiner speaks of
the decline of European culture and the development of materialism
as a philosophy, leaving anthroposophy with no exoteric foundation
on which to build. But Rudolf Steiner strikes a positive note with
an exciting and constructive way forward, providing us with the
tools to see the world through three key perspectives of
anthroposophy: the physical, the soul and the spiritual dimensions
of reality. This previously-unpublished volume is translated by
Elizabeth Marshall and includes an introduction, notes and index.
Many will be familiar with the notion that a person at the point of
death sees their life flash before them. Rudolf Steiner describes
that when the spiritual bodies separate from the physical body, the
etheric body of the dying person is revealed, giving a panoramic
overview of their earthly life. This etheric body contains
everything we have experienced in our consciousness and kept in
memory. The etheric not only generates and sustains all life, but
encompasses the life forces out of which we shape our existence.
Although the revelation of the life tableau belongs to the early
period after death, it can also emerge as a result of meditation.
Rudolf Steiner speaks of this – through the first level of
spiritual experience known as ‘imagination’ – as a conscious
self-perception of the soul, taking place in the world of images.
Here we are confronted with the harrowing knowledge of our
doppelgänger – but we also experience the cosmic forces of
childhood that are present in all our life processes. These same
forces are described in psychology as the ‘inner child’. In
this highly-original anthology of Steiner’s work we are led to a
therapeutic, meditative approach that – through working with the
imaginative life tableau – can strengthen and heal body, soul and
spirit. Chapters include: ‘Experiencing the Inner Child as the
Starting Point for a New Philosophy’; ‘Experiencing Life before
Birth’; ‘Pain and Sadness When Reliving the Life Tableau’;
‘Intensive Backward Thinking’; ‘Feelings of Happiness When
Experiencing the Life Tableau’; ‘Re-experiencing the Inner
Child’; ‘Through the Forces of Childhood to the Higher Self and
the Christ Experience’.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS or Mormons),
often heralded as the fastest growing religion in American history,
is facing a crisis of apostasy. Rather than strengthening their
faith, the study of church history and scriptures by many members
pushes them away from Mormonism and into a growing community of
secular ex-Mormons. In Disenchanted Lives, E. Marshall Brooks
provides an intimate, in-depth ethnography of religious
disenchantment among ex-Mormons in Utah. Showing that former church
members were once deeply embedded in their religious life, Brooks
argues that disenchantment unfolds as a struggle to overcome the
spiritual, social, and ideological devotion ex-Mormons had to the
religious community and not out of a lack of dedication as
prominently portrayed in religious and scholarly writing on
apostasy.

The book looks at a broad perspective of decision making and each
chapter focuses on a specific aspect related to making crucial
decisions. Following an initial introduction the book explores the
concept of autonomy and the many factors that influence autonomous
practise. The role of knowledge in decision making, using evidence
to inform decisions, as well as different approaches to decision
making are also examined - including the traditional or rational
approach, decision analysis and the development of professional
judgement. Dilemmas arise when decisions are made and therefore
ethical decision making is an important component of this book.
Management decisions may be different from those related to giving
specific care to women, hence one chapter focuses on making
management decisions. Emphasis is also placed on the role of the
midwife in helping women make their own decisions, the role of
reflection in enhancing the decisions midwives make and the support
midwives can receive from their Supervisor of Midwives. Flowcharts
explain and facilitate the decision-making process. A very
practical approach to decision-making in midwifery, with
contributions from midwives who have considerable experience in
this area Provides guidelines on how to achieve successful
autonomous midwifery practice, enabling theory to be effectively
applied to practice Includes coverage of management roles and
decision-making as well as clinical scenarios, offering frameworks
and flowcharts to guide the inexperienced Suggests different
approaches to making difficult decisions
