Much has been written and debated on lone mothers. However little
has been discussed about non-resident fathers. Absent Fathers is
part of a growing literature on men and masculinities and takes
this debate further. Drawn from one of the best social policy units
in the UK and results from the current ESRC Programme on Population
and Household Change, it will provide a text for undergraduates in
social policy and should also be important for professionals
concerned with family breakdown and child support.

Measuring Psychopathology describes the methods by which the signs and symptoms of mental disorder are elicited, examined and evaluated. Written for the non-clinical researcher as well as for those with clinical experience, the authors start by considering the question 'what is psychopathology?' They then employ a historical perspective to explain why and how mental disorders are currently classified, and how the use of an operational approach to diagnosis was adopted. The use of operational criteria to define psychiatric disorder has facilitated the development of standardised interviewing techniques, questionnaires and rating scales. These tools are all covered in some detail, not only with regard to adults with mental disorders, but also with reference to special and challenging groups such as children and the elderly, and those with a learning disability, substance misuse, or who have a personality disorder. The strengths and weaknesses of current methodologies are explored and debated as well as the future diagnostic needs for research in the 21st century. Essential reading for clinicians and non-clinical scientists engaged in research on psychiatric disorders, trainees and junior psychiatrists, and clinical psychologists.

Greaves, Dasha Koneva, Jane Quigley, Victoria Ridgway, Dr Carol
Lewis-Roylance, Pat Talbot, Richard Williams, Mary Williams. "This
book is aimed at students, but I am sure that it has an audience
beyond that - we all need help and encouragement to write. Full of
practical advice and examples, this book will help you to find a
writing strategy that works for you and to develop our own style.
Some simple but very effective ideas are used such as: making
writing a normal activity; just keeping going; and not necessarily
starting at the beginning." Roger Watson, Professor of Nursing,
University of Hull, UK"The focus of this book is on how to write
well. As I have argued previously, we all need to be reminded of
the skills required in order to make a difference to our patient,
clients and their carers' lives. Lifelong learning is the way that
we update our knowledge, skills and competencies. But in order to
do this effectively we need to have the right skill set. The
ability to write well is fundamental to our personal and
professional learning, and this is regardless of what stage we are
in our careers. Writing is a skill that we use every day, be it an
email to a friend or an assignment for a course. With practice we
can develop and refine this essential skill. I particularly like
the way the authors encourage us to be critical of our writing;
this is also something that we can offer to others as critical
friends." Sian E Maslin-Prothero, Professor of Nursing (Clinical),
School of Nursing & Midwifery and Sir Charles Gairdner

single day, to protect the citizens that they serve. "How Die They
Die? Murdered in the Line of Duty in Texas," holds just a few
stories of the thousands of officers who were killed in the line of
duty in Texas. It is some of the most heinous murders that have
occurred throughout the years. The author not only tells about how
the officer was murdered, but she also reveals what happened to the
murderer after the event happened. Did they go to prison? Did they
stay in prison? Were they executed for their horrid crime? Follow

criminal, and what might have motivated them to commit murder. Each
story is a heartbreaking tribute to officers who have died in the
line of duty everywhere.

Tom Lynch is a level headed, freelance Paranormal Investigator who
stands out in the crowd. He goes into an investigation, somewhat a
skeptic, but always a professional, armed with the technology
designed to get to the truth. Julie Williams on the other hand,
arms herself with crystals, prayer, and the belief that spirits
have something to teach us. Together, Tom and Julie, with the help
of their Investigative Unit, have helped many homeowners come to
the realization that there is something hiding behind the thin veil
that separates the living and dead, and it's getting thinner. When
not investigating a haunting, Tom and Julie conduct workshops and
public events so that people from all walks can begin to understand
the world of the paranormal. Within this book, you will find the
techniques and procedures to conduct a proper investigation, from
the first contact with the client, to the final report filed. See
why Toms' "Twenty Minute Rule" is important to any investigator who
wants to capture better evidence. Understand why you never want to
wear cologne or perfumes on an investigation. These and other
techniques are listed in "ParaTom's Guide To Paranormal
Investigations."
