An educational and inspirational book that offers practical
guidance for art therapists working with transgender and
gender-expansive youth and their families. It provides art therapy
goals, recommended treatments and coping skills to use with this

transitioning, bullying, and recognizing or building a support
system. It includes detailed case studies and cutting-edge art
therapy interventions, which help young people to express the
emotions surrounding the discovery of gender identity, the
transition process, and self-care.
Noir is among the most popular, acclaimed, and critically assessed
film styles of all time. The unfortunate consequence is an
ever-growing divergence between fans and scholars with regard to
goals and methods for appreciating and studying noir. The Maltese
Touch of Evil aims to bridge that gap. Based on a series of popular
podcasts, this unique and inspired investigation of film noir sets
out to examine the case of noir more closely, and in the process
reconfigures the critical evidence on noir that has been presented
to date.
The Maltese Touch of Evil reproduces and re-sequences nearly 150
still images from 31 great films, laying them out with the authors'
informed and entertaining insights into the significance of each
shot. The result is a de facto meta-film noir, a celebration of the
genre that shows how these films are themselves "constrained" texts
whose carefully calculated visual forms simultaneously generate
narrative and critical commentary on that narrative. You will never
look at film noir the same way again.
