This book examines persistent gender inequality in higher
education, and asks what is preventing change from occurring. The
editors and contributors argue that organizational resistance to
gender equality is the key explanation; reflected in the
endorsement of discourses such as excellence, choice, distorted
intersectionality, revitalized biological essentialism and gender
neutrality. These discourses implicitly and explicitly depict the
status quo as appropriate, reasonable and fair: ultimately impeding
efforts and attempts to promote gender equality. Drawing on
research from around the world, this book explores the limits and
possibilities of challenging these harmful discourses, focusing on
the state and universities themselves as levers for change. It
stresses the importance of institutional transformation, the vital
contribution of feminist activists and the importance of women's
deceptively 'small victories' in the academy.

From New York Times bestselling author Kate White comes a riveting
psychological suspense in which a media star must battle a
malevolent enemy who may be disturbingly close to her. After losing
her on-air job two years ago, television host Robin Trainer has
fought her way back and now she's hotter than ever. With her new
show climbing in the ratings and her first book a bestseller, she's
being dubbed a media double threat. But suddenly, things begin to
go wrong. Small incidents at first: a nasty note left in her purse;
her photo shredded. But the obnoxious quickly becomes threatening
when the foundation the makeup artist uses burns Robin's face. It
wasn't an accident-someone had deliberately doctored with the
product. An adversary with a dark agenda wants to hurt Robin, and
the clues point to someone she works with every day. While she
frantically tries to put the pieces together and unmask this hidden
foe, it becomes terrifyingly clear that the person responsible
isn't going to stop until Robin loses everything that matters to
her ...including her life.

The Sixes. Haunted by memories of her own school days, Phoebe
launches a private investigation, and soon finds herself in the
middle of a real-life nightmare, not knowing whom she can trust and
if she will even survive. Because with the truth comes a terrifying
revelation: your darkest secrets can still be uncovered . . . and
starting over may be a crime punishable by death.
This monograph brings together the presentations from the
nineteenth John Bowlby Memorial Conference in 2012, organised by
The Bowlby Centre. The aim of this was to explore the growing role
of the body in relational psychotherapy over the last decade, and
to bring us up to date in thinking about the relationship between
attachment, the body and trauma. Questions addressed included: How
do we anchor the new understandings we are gaining within the
framework of attachment? How might the integration of these ideas
about the body change what we do in the consulting room? What
impact might this have on the therapy relationship? Can we maintain
and respect the place of a secure, attuned attachment between
therapist and client, and its healing potential, at the centre of
our therapeutic work?Pat Ogden's paper Wisdom of the Body, Lost and
Found was the conference centrepiece and there are contributions
from leading clinicians including Roz Carroll, Mark Linington, and
Orit Badouk Epstein.Each in their different ways have brought their
clinical experiences to life in their presentations and
demonstrated this leading edge work in relation to the themes of
the body and touch with clients including those so often regarded
as unsuitable for therapy, namely those who have a physical or
learning disability or those who have survived extreme trauma
through the painful means of psychic protection resulting in
dissociative states of mind.Other contributors include Phil Mollon
on Attachment and Energy Psychology and Nick Totton on Embodiment
and the Social Bond.
This book examines higher education institutions that exemplify
gendered success whether in terms of the presence of women in
senior positions or attempts to change a gendered organisational
culture. It reflects a global perspective, drawing on case studies
from eleven countries: Australia, Austria, Ireland, India, New
Zealand , Portugal, South Africa, Sweden, Turkey, United Arab
Emirates, and the United Kingdom. In each country an organisation
has been selected that demonstrate best practice in terms of
gendered outcomes or processes. Gendered Success in Higher
Education highlights both the importance and the limitations of
indicators such as the proportion of women in senior positions. It
proposes a new gender agenda, identifies the factors that need to
be included in a model of gendered change, and provides important
insights into the nature of gendered change globally and how it can
be achieved.
This monograph explores questions about the relational and
interpersonal aspects of the links between attachment and trauma as
they emerge in clinical practice, together with ways in which
trauma is experienced emotionally and physically in the body and
how this might be expressed interpersonally in the therapeutic
encounter. This is discussed through personal and clinical
narratives of leading researchers, clinicians, and writers.The
spectrum of trauma the contributors seek to elucidate ranges from
cumulative relational trauma in a family setting, to sexual and
physical abuse, to war and natural disasters. Through the inclusion
of individual narratives of trauma, we are told stories that lead
us into the process of survival and remind us of human tenacity and
dignity in the face of overwhelming trauma. Contributors discuss
survival strategies, attempts to soothe and regulate our terror
states, ranging from dissociation to repression and substance
abuse. Themes of secrecy, disavowal, and repetition are encountered
as aspects of the complex ways in which we are able to adapt and
evolve in response to adversity. The impact of trauma on our
emotional and bodily states, as well as how it ruptures whole
communities, are part of our conversation. Neuroscience and
findings about how traumatic experience is processed and stored
psychically and bodily contribute to our perception of what may be
possible in clinical practice and how trauma-focused work may
differ from more classical models in technique and approach.
This book is a selection of papers from the eleventh John Bowlby
Memorial Conference. It covers the themes of sexuality and
attachment, providing from a historical overview through intricate
theoretical pathways to vivid descriptions to both analyst and
analysand of a therapeutic relationship.
This monograph contains a rich variety of material that is not
usually included in traditional writings on trauma. In addition to
the theoretical and clinical perspectives, poetry and storytelling
join in to weave a vivid tapestry of multifaceted approaches to
trauma. Whilst remaining true to its theoretical base (which, of
course, is Bowlby's attachment theory), the monograph succeeds in
locating its subject matter in wider perspectives, thus enabling
the reader to appreciate the complexity of contributing factors. It
is not easy to compile a single publication out of a conference;
yet, this monograph achieves its objective by offering a coherent
treatment of trauma that also includes some up-to-date approaches
and innovations. The papers are written with authority, clarity and
sensitivity and will provide the reader with a most beneficial
elaboration of trauma from an attachment theory perspective.

During his lifetime John Bowlby, the founder of attachment theory,
was unable to publish as he wished due to strong opposition to his
ideas. Now, with the support of the Bowlby family, several complete
and near-complete works from the John Bowlby Archive at the
Wellcome Collection are published for the first time. The
collection spans Bowlby's thinking from his early ideas to later
reflections, and is split into four parts. Part 1 includes essays
on the topic of loss, mourning and depression, outlining his
thoughts on the role of defence mechanisms. Part 2 covers Bowlby's
ideas around anxiety, guilt and identification, including
reflections on his observations of and work with evacuated
children. Part 3 features three seminars on the subject of
conflict, in which Bowlby relates clinical concepts to both
political philosophy and psychoanalysis in innovative ways. Part 4
consists of Bowlby's later reflections on trauma and loss, and on
his own work as a therapist. This remarkable collection not only
clarifies Bowlby's relationship with psychoanalysis but features
his elaboration of key concepts in attachment theory and important
moments of self-criticism. It will be essential reading for
clinicians, researchers, and others interested in human
development, relationships and adversity.
