Paraverbal Communication in Psychotherapy: Beyond the Words delves
into the world of nonverbal cues that are ubiquitous in our lives
and particularly revealing in therapeutic practice. Building upon
the research of Daniel Stern, Beatrice Beebe, and others, the
authors explore the specific manner in which patient and therapist
interchange para-verbally in psychotherapy. The authors examine the
history of and current trends in dynamic psychotherapy and discuss
the tools and procedure for analyzing para-verbal communication. By
reviewing engaging case studies from their own practices, the
authors step through how therapists and clinicians can capture
non-verbal signs like facial expression, tone of voice, or posture
in their own sessions. By examining both the client and therapist,
practitioners can discover insights into their own techniques, how
they engage with clients, and how to anticipate significant changes
in treatment based on para-verbal exchanges. Paraverbal
Communication in Psychotherapy navigates through the web of
unspoken communication to create an innovative approach to
psychotherapy and a valuable tool for practitioners and those in
training.
The relationship between Law and Anthropology can be considered as
having been particularly intimate. In this book the authors defend
their assertion that the two fields co-exist in a condition of
"balanced reciprocity" wherein each makes important contributions
to the successful practice and theory of the other. Anthropology,
for example, offers a cross-culturally validated generic concept of
"law," and clarifies other important legal concepts such as
"religion" and "human rights." Law similarly illuminates key
anthropological ideas such as the "social contract," and provides a
uniquely valuable access point for the analysis of sociocultural
systems. Legal practice renders a further important benefit to
anthropology when it validates anthropological knowledge through
the use of anthropologists as expert witnesses in the courtroom and
the introduction of the "culture defense" against criminal charges.
Although the actual relationship between anthropology and law today
falls short of this idealized state of balanced reciprocity, the
authors include historical and other data suggesting that that
level of intimate cooperation draws ever closer.
Legal Anthropology: An Introduction offers an initial overview of
the challenging debates surrounding the cross-cultural analysis of
legal systems. Equal parts review and criticism, James M. Donovan
outlines the historical landmarks in the development of the
discipline, identifying both strengths and weaknesses of each stage
and contribution. Legal Anthropology suggests that future progress
can be made by looking at the perceived fairness of social
regulation, rather than sanction or dispute resolution as the
distinguishing feature of law.
Brief therapies have become popular - indeed a necessity - in today's managed care environment. Perhaps because it is one of the more complex psychoanalytical models, object relations theory for couples has not been adapted to a short-term model until now. In this volume, James Donovan provides a model for short-term object relations couples therapy, while at the same time offering an easy-to-read primer on object relations that gives the practitioner a step-by-step model replete with examples for using object relations in practice. The goal of this short-term therapy is that couples emerge with an awareness of these internalised object relations and their significance. This book builds on previously successful couples work by advising the therapist to focus on the core, recurring impasse that threatens the couples relationship and stirs old wounds, and gives detailed intervention strategies that focus on the mediation and resolution of the core fight. The five-step model outlines the way to dismantle the conflict at the levels of the individual and the couple. Donovan integrates aspects of other successful couples therapies into his model in order to broaden its applicability to a greater diversity of treatment situations.

" . . . insightful and interesting . . . One hopes that the
practical approach to how practitioners in anthropology and law can
better connect with one another, as well as how both fields can
connect with the rest of the (non-anthropological and non-legal)
real world, is here to stay through Donovan and Anderson's
insightful work." -PoLAR The relationship between Law and

James Donovan takes a comprehensive approach to the history of the
jury in modern France by investigating the legal, political,
sociocultural, and intellectual aspects of jury trial from the
Revolution through the twentieth century. He demonstrates that
these juries, through their decisions, helped shape reform of the
nation's criminal justice system. From their introduction in 1791
as an expression of the sovereignty of the people through the early
1900s, argues Donovan, juries often acted against the wishes of the
political and judicial authorities, despite repeated governmental
attempts to manipulate their composition. High acquittal rates for
both political and nonpolitical crimes were in part due to juror
resistance to the harsh and rigid punishments imposed by the
Napoleonic Penal Code, Donovan explains. In response, legislators
gradually enacted laws to lower penalties for certain crimes and to
give jurors legal means to offer nuanced verdicts and to ameliorate
punishments. Faced with persistently high acquittal rates, however,
governments eventually took powers away from juries by withdrawing
many cases from their purview and ultimately destroying the panels'
independence in 1941.
