The world needs real men, real bad. And there are all sorts of conflicting ideas and messages about what a "real man" is (and is not). Is a real man one who hunts, loves sports, grills meat, fixes cars, and climbs mountains? Sure, sometimes. But that's not really the point of being a man and it's not the purpose for which men were made.
Into our cultural confusion, Brant Hansen paints a refreshingly specific, compelling picture of what men are made to be: "Keepers of the Garden." Protectors and defenders. He calls for men of all interests and backgrounds (including "avid indoorsmen" like himself) to be ambitious about the right things and to see themselves as defenders of the vulnerable, with whatever resources they have.
Using short chapters loaded with must-have wisdom and Brant's signature humor, The Men We Need explains the essence of masculinity in a fresh, thoughtful, and entertaining way that will inspire any man who dares to read it.
Of all women battered by their intimate partners each year, only a
small percentage are correctly diagnosed as victims of abuse. The
medical community has a unique opportunity to intervene, but many
health care professionals need more training to recognize the
abuse, tools to intervene, and information on where to refer
victims for additional assistance. Comprehensive yet easy to delve
into, Domestic Violence and Health Care helps practitioners treat
those seeking help after a violent episode. Author Sherri L.
Schornstein, a career prosecutor experienced both on the front
lines and at the systems level in Washington, DC, dispels common
myths about domestic violence and skillfully takes the reader
through practical, how-to steps in the examination process.
Examples and insights provide vital information regarding the
impact that examination and documentation may have upon a
subsequent prosecution of the batterer, while sample questions and
forms assist the examiner in recording the most accurate
information possible. This essential volume also explores safety
issues for everyone at a health care facility who deals with such
cases. Domestic Violence and Health Care alerts health care
professionals to the signs of abuse and helps prepare them to deal
sensitively and appropriately with the needs of victims. This
timely book is recommended for all medical personnel as well as
professionals and practitioners in the fields of mental health,
substance abuse, victim advocacy, criminal justice, hospital
administration, public health, and law enforcement. As a text,
Domestic Violence and Health Care works as an excellent supplement
for courses in medicine, nursing, social work, and for CME/CE
credit workshops.
