The 2014 Ukrainian crisis has highlighted the pro-Russia stances of
some European countries, such as Hungary and Greece, and of some
European parties, mostly on the far-right of the political
spectrum. They see themselves as victims of the EU "technocracy"
and liberal moral values, and look for new allies to denounce the
current "mainstream" and its austerity measures. These groups found
new and unexpected allies in Russia. As seen from the Kremlin,
those who denounce Brussels and its submission to U.S. interests
are potential allies of a newly re-assertive Russia that sees
itself as the torchbearer of conservative values. Predating the
Kremlin's networks, the European connections of Alexander Dugin,
the fascist geopolitician and proponent of neo-Eurasianism, paved
the way for a new pan-European illiberal ideology based on an
updated reinterpretation of fascism. Although Dugin and the
European far-right belong to the same ideological world and can be
seen as two sides of the same coin, the alliance between Putin's
regime and the European far-right is more a marriage of convenience
than one of true love. This unique book examines the European
far-right's connections with Russia and untangles this puzzle by
tracing the ideological origins and individual paths that have
materialized in this permanent dialogue between Russia and Europe.

Winner of the 2016 ICQI Outstanding Qualitative Book Award
Acclaimed qualitative scholar Jane Speedy's world was upended
completely after suffering a severe stroke when only in her late
50s. After returning home from the hospital, Speedy took to her
iPad to write and draw as a way of making sense of her experience
and to aid her recovery. The stunning, fragmented, poetic text and
images comprising Staring at the Park depict the events of this
difficult journey. It provides an alternative model of engaging the
self in a research project in an evocative and artistic way. This
highly original book: -uses the seemingly ordinary motif of the
park opposite the author's house as the catalyst for a wildly
creative autoethnography;-includes three narratives of the author's
experience of staring at the park-an imagined murder mystery in the
park, a realist ethnography of the park, and the life story (both
imagined and real) of her facing her illness and recovery; -offers
readers a poetic and performative inquiry into the author's new
reality.
Artful Collaborative Inquiry comprises essays created collectively
by a group of scholars and artists, the majority of whom have
several decades of experience of working together. The book
challenges commonly-held, individualistic beliefs about ownership,
authorship and scholarly and artistic ethics and practices. The
essays exemplify the entangled kinds of scholarly and artistic
works that emerge in a post-human world, where humans, other
species, environments, things and other matters, all matter and are
of equal concern in the conduct of ethical artful scholarship.
Situated at the (messy) crossroads where contemporary scholarship
and artistic practice converge, the seamless mo(ve)ment and
interplay between text and image make up the main body of the work
in this book. The chapters combine the playful use and merging of
time, space and place, researcher and researched, to give a unique
exemplar of research and creativity in the rapidly emerging field
of collaborative scholarship. It will be of particular interest to
creative and qualitative scholars wishing to conduct more artful
research, and artists engaging with scholarship.

As new techniques and approaches to supervision attract interest
within therapy-related professions, the contributors to this
informative book consider the nature of a supervision and examine
the ways in which it can be further defined and developed. Drawing
together practical and theoretical perspectives, Integrative
Approaches to Supervision examines the contribution that
supervision can make within both organisational and individual
settings. The book covers frameworks and models for supervision,
supervision in clinical practice and issues within integrative
supervision. Topics include: different models of the supervision
practice; anti-oppressive practice; spirituality and supervision;
counselling supervision in health care; supervision of
organisations; self-protection for supervisors from complaints and
litigation. Wide in scope but rich in detail, this book is
essential reading for psychotherapists, counsellors, consultants
and students involved in the supervision process.
