Research is finding a way to measure the problem. This seminal
2-volume book contains hundreds of the most useful measurement
tools for use in clinical practice and in research. All measures
are critiqued by the editors, who provide guidance on how to select
and score them and the actual measures are wholly reproduced. This
second volume, focusing on measures for use with adults, whose
conditions of concerns are not focused on family relationships or
couple relationships, includes an introduction to the basic
principles of measurement, an overview of different types of
measures, and an overview of the Rapid Assessment Inventories
included herein. Volume II also contains descriptions and reviews
of each instrument, as well as information on how they were
selected and how to administer and score them. This book is
designed as the definitive reference volume on assessment measures
for both practice and research in clinical mental health. This
fifth edition of Corcoran and Fischer's Measures for Clinical
Practice and Research is updated with a new preface, new scales,
and updated information for existing instruments, expanding and
cementing its utility for members of all the helping professions,
including psychology, social work, psychiatry, counseling, nursing,
and medicine. Alone or as a set, these classic compendiums are
powerful tools that clinicians and researchers alike will find an
invaluable addition to - or update of - their libraries.

Providing a comprehensive overview of the urban sharing economy,
this Modern Guide takes a forward-looking perspective on how
sharing goods and services may facilitate future sustainability of
consumption and production. It highlights recent developments and
issues, with cutting-edge discussions from leading international
scholars in business, engineering, environmental management,
geography, law, planning, sociology and transport studies. A Modern
Guide to the Urban Sharing Economy begins with basic concepts and
definitions, providing broad context with a focus on shifting
service modalities, regulatory frameworks, and a historical
overview of how sharing came to be a staple feature of the
economies of contemporary cities. The second section focusses on
shared mobility, with a particular lens on micromobility, parking,
ride-hailing, car-sharing and ride-sharing. The third section
focusses on shared space, including coworking office spaces and
short-term rentals, as well as shared goods and services, including
streaming music services, clothing rental services, food sharing
and tool libraries. The book concludes by outlining the key ethical
challenges that face the sharing economy. Real-world case studies
are presented from authors in more than a dozen countries, making
this a helpful and invigorating read for scholars of the sharing
economy, urban studies and sustainable development. A Modern Guide
to the Urban Sharing Economy is likely to also be of interest to
those studying urban planning, human geography, and other
disciplines focussing on the future of planetary urbanisation.

spectacular feats across football, GAA, horse racing, gymnastics,
rugby, the Olympic games and many many more.
This unique book demonstrates the utility of big data approaches in
human geography and planning. Offering a carefully curated
selection of case studies, it reveals how researchers are accessing
big data, what this data looks like and how such data can offer new
and important insights and knowledge. Contributions from key
scholars working in the field bring together an international
series of case studies on demography and migration, retail and
consumer analytics, health care planning, urban planning and
transport studies. Chapters also discuss how data sets leveraged
from commercial and public agency sources can greatly improve the
data traditionally worked with in academic geography, regional
science and planning. While addressing the challenges and
limitations of big data, the book also demonstrates the usefulness
of data sets held by commercial agencies and explores data linkage
between big data and traditional public domain data sources.
Focusing on the applications of big data to investigate issues in a
spatial context, this book will be an essential guide for scholars
and students of planning, mobility and human geography,
particularly those who specialise in economic and transport
geography. Its use of key case studies to demonstrate the
applications of big data analytics in planning will also be useful
for planners in these fields.
Born and raised in rural West Virginia, Jonathan Corcoran was the
youngest and only son of three siblings in a family balanced on the
precipice of poverty. His mother, a traditional, evangelical, and
insular woman who had survived abuse and abandonment, was often his
only ally. Together they navigated a strained homelife dominated by
his distant, gambling-addicted father and shared a seemingly
unbreakable bond. When Corcoran left home to attend Brown
University, a chasm between his upbringing and his reality began to
open. As his horizons and experiences expanded, he formed new bonds
beyond bloodlines, and met the upper-middle-class Jewish man who
would become his husband. But this authentic life would not be
easy, and Corcoran was forever changed when his mother disowned him
after discovering his truth. In the ensuing fifteen years, the two
would come together only to violently spring apart. As the COVID-19
pandemic raged in 2020, the cycle finally ended when he received
the news that his mother had died. In No Son of Mine, Corcoran
traces his messy estrangement from his mother through lost
geographies: the trees, mountains, and streams that were once his
birthright, as well as the lost relationships with friends and
family and the sense of home that were stripped away when she said
he was no longer her son. A biography nestled inside a memoir, No
Son of Mine is Corcoran's story of alienation and his attempts to
understand his mother's choice to cut him out of her life. Through
grief, anger, questioning, and growth, Corcoran explores the
entwined yet separate histories and identities of his mother and
himself.
This book explores the concept of multi-species relationships and
suggests critical systemic pathways to protect shared habitats.
This book discusses how the eradication of species as a result of
rapid urbanisation places humanity at risk. This book demonstrates
how narrow anthropocentrism has focused on the rights of human
beings at the expense of other species and the environment. This
book explores a priori norms and a posteriori measures and
indicators to include and protect multiple species. This book aims
to strengthen institutional capacity and powers to address and
extend the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda by drawing on
local wisdom but also the need to implement laws to prevent
ecocide. This book highlights that our fragile interdependence
requires a recognition of our hybridity and interconnectedness
within the web of life and suggests ways to reframe policy within
and beyond the nation state to support living systems of which we
are a strand.
Kate Driscoll, a recovering alcoholic and public relations
consultant, lives in a Boston suburb with her engineer husband,
Bob, and their six year-old daughter, Meghan.When Bob's business
goes broke, Kate finds that even her regular A.A. meetings don't
help with the money worries, so she turns to a local gym for stress
relief. "The gym was cheaper than psychotherapy and seemed to work
just as well," she says.Though she describes herself as a
"relentless heterosexual," Kate is soon horrified to find herself
falling in love with Lou, a female instructor at the gym.Kate's
affair with Lou carries her through increasing financial
difficulties and her husband's growing depression until she is
forced to make a decision that will shape the rest of her
life."Shit happens," Kate's A.A. friends say, but magic happens too
as Kate learns that, no matter what happens on the outside, the
answers to her problems lie within.
This book foregrounds the provision of education for young people
who have been remanded or sentenced into custody. Both
international conventions and national legislation and guidelines
in many countries point to the right of children and young people
to access education while they are incarcerated. Moreover,
education is often seen as an important protective and
'rehabilitative' factor. However, the conditions associated with
incarceration generate particular challenges for enabling
participation in education. Bridging the fields of education and
youth justice, this book offers a social justice analysis through
the lens of 'participatory parity', the book brings together rare
interviews with staff and young people in youth justice settings in
Australia, secondary data from these sites, a suite of pertinent
and frank reports, and international scholarship. Drawing on this
rich set of material, the book demonstrates not only the challenges
but also the possibilities for education as a conduit for social
justice in custodial youth justice. The book will be of immediate
relevance to governments and youth justice staff for meaningfully
meeting their obligation of enabling children and young people in
custody to benefit from education; and of interest to scholars and
researchers in education, youth work and criminology.
This book promotes the well-being of the commons through
representation and accountability through monitoring from below in
order to operationalize engagement. This book views the commons as
a legal concept, a transformative governance concept, and a basis
for systemic ethics. The chapters focus on practical responses to
address complex problems that comprise many interrelated variables
and are perceived differently by stakeholders with different values
and life experiences. By considering these different stakeholders,
the goal is to highlight ways to regenerate and invigorate
employment opportunities. The book identifies pathways towards
ethical vocational education to enable lifelong engagement by
active citizens which requires action learning to address areas of
perceived policy concern. Throughout the chapters in this book, the
authors discuss transformative research and its implications on
stakeholders. They focus on re-presentation and its implications
for thinking and practice. One author makes the case for fostering
non anthropocentric approaches to ethical development. In addition,
the chapters cover case studies including governance challenges
associated with water management using a mixed method approach and
also production of mushrooms in collaboration with coffee growers
in Jakarta. The book focuses on ways to de-colonialise knowledge
formation in public policy and makes the case for an alternative
approach to governance and democracy that takes into account a
range of local people's perspectives.
Shakespeare is a major influence on poets writing in English, but
the dynamics of that influence in the twentieth century have never
been as closely analysed as they are in this important study. More
than an account of the ways in which Shakespeare is figured in both
the poetry and the critical prose of modern poets, this book
presents a provocative new view of poetic interrelationship.
Focusing on W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot, W. H. Auden, Ted Hughes and
Sylvia Plath, Neil Corcoran uncovers the relationships - combative
as well as sympathetic - between these poets themselves as they are
intertwined in their engagements with Shakespeare. Corcoran offers
many enlightening close readings, fully alert to contemporary
theoretical debates. This original study of influence and reception
beautifully displays the nature of poetic influence - both of
Shakespeare on the twentieth century, and among modern poets as
they respond to Shakespeare.
