When collective memory is a source of national debate, the
public representation of history quickly becomes a locus of
controversy and ideological struggle. "Remembering the Occupation
in French Film "explores French identity as it is articulated
through cultural representations of Occupied France in French film.
This work shows how French film has allowed for a public airing of
current concerns through the lens of memory's recreations of the
Occupation. By focusing on the representation of women as the
symbol of a collective identity crisis, the author links France's
traditional female icon, Marianne, to the multiple unresolved
ambiguities that have continued to plague France's historical
reckoning with the war.
This collection of 17 biographies provides a unique opportunity for

colonies during this pivotal point in history.
Performing Difference is a compilation of seventeen essays from
some of the leading scholars in history, criticism, film, and
theater studies. Each author examines the portrayal of groups and
individuals that have been traditionally marginalized or excluded
from dominant historical narratives. As a meeting point of several
fields of study, this book is organized around three meta-themes:
race, gender, and genocide. Included are analyses of films and
theatrical productions from the United States, as well as essays on
cinema from Southern and Central America, Europe, and the Middle
East. Topically, the contributing authors write about the depiction
of race, ethnicities, gender and sexual orientation, and genocides.
This volume assesses how the performing arts have aided in the
social construction of the "other" in differing contexts. Its
fundamental premise is that performance is powerful, and its
unifying thesis is that the arts remain a major forum for advancing
a more nuanced and humane vision of social outcasts, not only in
the realm of national imaginations, but in social relations as
well.
The Human Tradition in America from the Colonial Era through
Reconstruction is a collection of the best biographical sketches
from several volumes in SR Books' popular Human Tradition in
America Series. Compiled by Series Editor Charles W. Calhoun, this
book brings American history to life by illuminating the lives of
ordinary Americans. This examination of common individuals helps
personalize the nation's past in a way that examining only broad
concepts and forces cannot. By including a wide range of people
with respect to ethnicity, race, gender and geographic region,
Prof. Calhoun has developed a text that highlights the diversity of
the American experience.
Clinical Psychology invites students to think like clinical
psychologists and develop an integrated sense of how science,
experience, ethical behavior, and intuition get woven into our
professional identity. Built around typical psychologists and the
problems they need to solve, it demonstrates that assessment is
much more than testing, and explores how treatment rationales are
tailored to the individual problems, histories, and environments of
clients. Committed to training future professionals, this text
navigates students through the career path of a clinical
psychologist and provides guidance on evolving education and
training models. The text uniquely portrays clinical psychology as
a modern health care profession that bridges physical and mental
health and takes a holistic stance. It treats therapy as a dynamic
process that benefits from the cross-fertilization of a range of
different approaches. It also provides an international
perspective, describing similarities and differences between how
clinical psychology is practiced in different countries and
contexts. It recognizes that clinical psychology changes as health
care systems change, and stresses that training models and practice
patterns need to match these changes. This second edition has been
fully revised and reflects DSM-5 and ICD-10-CM guidelines. New and
enhanced features include: Additional description of the continuing
integration of therapy approaches Additional evidence on how to
make psychotherapy cost-effective Upgrades on self-help and
web-based treatment An expanded chapter on psychopharmacology,
offering more information on mechanisms Expanded in-text pedagogy,
offering more vignettes, ongoing considerations, key terms, and
thinking questions Powerpoint slides and links to recommended
resources.

Perfectionism is growing more prevalent among young people today,
with increasing numbers of children admitting they feel pressure to
be, or appear to be, perfect. This book describes perfectionism's
mental health costs and effects on achievement, explaining the
myriad and often surprising ways children and adolescents exhibit
perfectionism in their family, school, and social environments.
Most important, the authors suggest clinical interventions to help
perfectionistic children regain perspective, and accept their
limitations. Authors Gordon L. Flett and Paul L. Hewitt expertly
summarize relevant studies, demonstrating that perfectionism is
pernicious and requires a complex and multi-faceted approach to
prevention and treatment. A clinically-focused section rounds out
the book, with concrete steps counselors and educators can take to
help build resilience and adaptability.
The history of the first women to serve in the Marine Corps is a
fascinating record of the dedication and drive of American women
during World War I. The purpose of this monograph is to tell the
story of the small band of women who answered the Corps' call for
volunteers in 1918 with patriotism and enthusiasm. A former
Director of Women Marines, Colonel Jeanette I. Sustad, USHC (Ret.)
originated the project of compiling data for a history of women
Marines who served in World War I. In 1971, she asked various
members of the Women Marines Association to interview surviving
veterans throughout the country. A questionnaire designed to guide
the interviewers as well as background information on the service
of women Marines in the 1918-1919 period was developed by
Lieutenant Colonel Pat Meid, USMCR. Lieutenant Colonel Meid, who
authored the official history, Marine Corps Women's Reserve in
World War II, originally published in 1964, accumulated
considerable material on the earlier group of women Marines during
her research. This was all made available to the author of this
monograph. The interviews conducted during 1971-1972, 29 in number,
form a valuable archive of personal experiences of these pioneer
women Marines. They have been used to supplement the official
records which are sparse and elusive. Muster rolls of the time were
checked exhaustively in compiling a roster of women who served, but
it proved impossible to discover all the names making up the 305
women who were enlisted as Marine .Corps Reserve (F). Much
information was gleaned from contemporary magazine and newspaper
articles, particularly from Leatherneck, Marine Corps Gazette, The
Marine Magazine, Recruiter's Bulletin, and the New York and
Washington daily newspapers. A small but useful collection of Women
Marine memorabilia, including photographs, letters, and clippings,
was donated by various individuals as a result of publicity about
the project.

Grounded in decades of influential research, this book thoroughly
examines perfectionism: how it develops, its underlying mechanisms
and psychological costs, and how to target it effectively in
psychotherapy. The authors describe how perfectionistic
tendencies--rooted in early relational and developmental
experiences--make people vulnerable to a wide range of clinical
problems. They present an integrative treatment approach and
demonstrate ways to tailor interventions to the needs of individual
clients. A group treatment model is also detailed. State-of-the-art
assessment tools are discussed (and provided at the companion
website). Throughout the book, vivid clinical illustrations make
the core ideas and techniques concrete.
