Feminist mental health activism in England, c.1968-1995 provides
the first in-depth examination of feminist mental health activism
in England, employing original oral history interviews alongside
detailed case studies of unexplored feminist initiatives. It charts
how feminist activists in the late 1960s initially rejected
psychological approaches, before employing a range of therapies to
understand themselves and support one another. This book charts the
emergence of feminist mental health groups in the early 1970s, the
development of feminist therapy across the 1980s, and the influence
of feminist politics on national charity Mind in the 1990s. It
examines what participation in feminist activism felt like;
demonstrating how these emotions have influenced the construction
of its history. The book simultaneously forges a new direction in
the history of mental healthcare in postwar England, establishing
how feminists’ grassroots support for women redefined 'community
care'. -- .
Following the convulsions of 1968, one element uniting many of the
disparate social movements that arose across Europe was the pursuit
of an elusive "authenticity" that could help activists to
understand fundamental truths about themselves-their feelings,
aspirations, sexualities, and disappointments. This volume offers a
fascinating exploration of the politics of authenticity as they
manifested themselves among such groups as Italian leftists, East
German lesbian activists, and punks on both sides of the Iron
Curtain. Together they show not only how authenticity came to
define varied social contexts, but also how it helped to usher in
the neoliberalism of a subsequent era.

This textbook is a comprehensive introduction to the assessment of
students in K-12 schools who use two or more languages in their
daily life: English Language Learners (ELLs), or Emergent
Bilinguals. The book includes a thorough examination of the policy,
history and assessment/measurement issues that educators should
understand in order to best advocate for their students. The author
presents a decision-making framework called PUMI (Purpose, Use,
Method, Instrument) that practitioners can use to better inform
assessment decisions for bilingual children. The book will be an
invaluable resource in teacher preparation programs, but will also
help policy-makers and educators make better decisions to support
their students.
