This review provides an overview of Margaret Rustin's book "Finding a way to the child: Selected papers 1983-2021," which delves into the development of child psychotherapy theory and practice in the United Kingdom. The review acknowledges the need for child psychotherapy to adapt to societal changes, such as immigration and the dissolution of the British Empire. It also draws comparisons between the evolution of psychoanalytic therapy in the UK and the United States. The review emphasizes the importance of considering social context and cultural diversity in psychotherapy, particularly in addressing the needs of immigrant families and individuals who have experienced displacement. The text explores the use of play in child psychoanalysis and the role of the analyst in interpreting and engaging with the child's play. It also discusses the technical and theoretical adaptations made by psychoanalysts when working with specific diagnostic groups, such as children on the autistic spectrum and narcissistic patients. The author highlights the significance of interventions that challenge and disrupt the symptoms and patterns of these patients to promote self-regulation and growth. Additionally, the text explores the extension of psychoanalytic techniques to work with patients from diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and understanding. The author suggests that psychoanalytic clinicians should reflect on their own biases and prejudices to create a more diverse and inclusive practice. [Extracted from the article]

"Enter Ghost" by Isabella Hammad is a novel that explores the future of Palestine through the lens of its theater scene in the 2010s. The story follows a diverse troupe of actors attempting to stage Hamlet in the West Bank, challenging stale narratives about Palestinian fragmentation and government corruption. The characters in the novel, each with their own complicated pasts, seek to reconcile interrupted narratives and find fulfillment in a reimagined national family. The play within the novel serves as a device to take ownership of the past and create a new vision of Palestine. [Extracted from the article]

For nearly fifteen years, Christina Gerhardt, a professor of German and film studies at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa, has been studying radical German cinema in the context of the widespread cultural revolutions that broke out around the globe from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s. This interview, which Abel conducted in 2014 when the iconoclastic Lemke was 74, is so lively and intelligent, particularly when Lemke is reminiscing about what mainstream Hollywood movies taught him, that he should be on any film lover's guest list for that perfect dinner party.

The authors of I Convict Criminology for the Future i have built and expanded on work begun in I Convict Criminology i (Ross and Richards, 2003).[1] The book results from the increased international interest in convict criminology, greater acceptance, and acknowledgment of the need for the discipline, and, finally, a Convict Criminology for the Future conference held in Padua, Italy (May 31, to 1 June 2019), which brought convict criminologists together from around the world. Conclusion Convict criminology appears to have settled into a more pronounced status in criminology, especially since achieving status as a Division of the American Society of Criminology. Convict criminology for the future: by Ross, Jeffrey Ian, and Vianello, Francesca, New York, Routledge, 202, 226 pp., $39.99 (Kindle); $139.31 (Hardcover); $52.95 (Paper), ISBN 978-0-367-86015-8.

Interactivity as performance allows Nash to draw attention to affect and emotion, considering the different forms that interactive documentary engages with embodied performances such as augmented and virtual reality documentary and gaming. Nash acknowledges the fragility of the interactive documentary because of its experimental approach adopting software platforms that are still in development limiting the audience reach, but she remains hopeful throughout the book that the future for the interactive documentary lies ahead, and we have perhaps only scratched the surface. This book shows how interactive documentary appropriates digital technologies in order to find new methods of engaging with realities that often confront contemporary social concerns and the intricacies of truth.

Regardless, Martin-Jones' approach allows a formally and thematically diverse range of films to be discussed together. To describe this capacity for ethical encounters Martin-Jones turns to Gilles Deleuze's distinction between movement-image and time-image. To stabilize itself, Martin-Jones argues, the ruling world system needs to write its history in a manner that suppresses the memory of those people and cultures it destroys on its way to power.

On 20 January 2019, late in the 35-day federal government shutdown by President Donald Trump, Sara Nelson, president of the International Association of Flight Attendants, drew national attention when she called on her fellow labor leaders to 'talk with your local and international unions about all workers joining together to end this shutdown with a general strike! But for Cal Winslow, the Seattle General Strike of 1919 was 'the only true general strike in US history, and the only time when workers in this country really ran a city ... ' Aptly named I Radical Seattle i , and devoting only one chapter to the actual strike, this study is not primarily about the strike and the "five-days that matter". While only mentioned in passing, the Winnipeg General Strike broke out in May 1919, a mere three months after the Seattle General Strike and lasted a remarkable six weeks and impressively inspired solidarity strikes in thirty additional Canadian cities.

By drawing New Zealand and Western Australia into the analysis, the collection provides an insightful overview that moves beyond the usual single-colony-centred histories. This edited collection, based on a workshop at the Australian National University held in April 2017, explores what "Aboriginal protection" meant in the Australian colonies and New Zealand in the nineteenth century. Marjan Lousberg's excellent chapter on Edward Shortland in New Zealand is a case in point. [Extracted from the article]

The impetus for Justine Lloyd's new book, I Gender and Media in the Broadcast Age i , was the relative absence of women's programs, and the work of women broadcasters, in historical accounts of the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC). Lloyd's comparative approach, considering, in turn, women's programming produced by the ABC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), also draws on transnational histories such as Michele Hilmes's I Network Nations i .

I Skills, Knowledge, and Expertise in Sport i , a collection of papers edited by Gunnar Breivik, is an excellent resource for those who are interested in the philosophy of skill, know-how (both in sport and in general), and how our embodied nature shapes sport and our sporting performances. Larsen's focus is quite particular, and she does not draw as many conclusions for sports in general as one might want, but her focus on parkour allows her to make several compelling points about how we should understand parkour.

The book "Psychoanalysis at the Crossroads: An International Perspective" edited by Fred Busch features papers from various authors with different perspectives on the future of psychoanalysis. Busch emphasizes the importance of lively debate and challenging one's own thought process in order to find common ground. The book covers topics such as controversies in psychoanalytic technique and theory, social issues, and struggles within psychoanalytic institutes. While the book lacks a clear "lively debate" due to the standalone nature of each chapter, it offers valuable insights into the diverse perspectives within psychoanalysis.

Regarding psychoanalysis, he believes it will change and adapt to online working, noting that Freud thought treating "children, psychotics, perverts" would be unthinkable, he continues, "as for group analysis Freud thought it was unimaginable" (p. 126).

"The Agricultural Dilemma" by Glenn Davis Stone is a book that challenges the dominant narrative surrounding industrial agriculture. Stone argues that the focus on technological development and efficiency in agriculture has led to the capture of public wealth by business interests, while externalizing socio-ecological costs. The book explores the history and impact of industrial agriculture, particularly in relation to fertilizers and seeds, and highlights the racial underpinnings of the productivist ideal. Stone also presents an alternative model of agriculture, called "intensive agriculture," which emphasizes changing practices, labor, and local technology. Overall, the book offers a critical and thought-provoking analysis of the current state of agriculture and presents possibilities for alternative agrarian futures. [Extracted from the article]

Chester has written several books, including I The Wobblies In Their Heyday, i which focuses on the Industrial Workers of the World in the lead-up to World War I and the brutal repression that crushed the union. Built on extensive research in the National Archives (as well as the British national archives and the papers of dozens of politicians, political operatives, and labor and socialist leaders), I Free Speech and the Suppression of Dissent During World War I i is a significant contribution to our understanding of the Wilson administration's efforts to silence its opponents. Chester argues that Debs' speech in Canton, Ohio, for which he was imprisoned, was an effort to restore party unity and refute claims that he had abandoned its antiwar policy.

Many of the entries are autobiographical, especially in the first five chapters (quotes 1-64), and the remaining twenty-two chapters (quotes 65-365) focus primarily on his writings, published and unpublished, as well as on commentaries by various analysts, Bion himself and Abel-Hirsch. The writings of Wilfred Bion have been studied since his early papers on group process in the mid-1940s through the early1950s, and were followed by his investigation of psychotic processes in the mid-1950s. Abel-Hirsch is a noted authority on the works of Melanie Klein, Hannah Segal and Bion and is a training and supervising analyst of the British Psychoanalytic Society. [Extracted from the article]

The volume begins with an introductory essay by Andrew Marshall, written with the assistance of Jacqueline Deal, that gives Marshall's own perspective on the intellectual origins of net assessment.

Marshall while he was director of the Office of Net Assessment (ONA) in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. [Extracted from the article]

Golinelli is asking to "win back attention from the world of culture to our discipline", in effect reclaiming applied psychoanalysis in the way that Freud "found so essential", despite finding the term itself "reductive" and "devalued". In I Psychoanalytic Reflections on Writing, Cinema and the Arts i , Paola Golinelli creates a psychoanalytic gallery of cultural artefacts that have meant something to her. Psychoanalytic reflections on writing, cinema and the arts: facing beauty and loss: by Paola Golinelli, Routledge, 2021, 134pp., £96 (hb), £23.19 (pb), ISBN: 9780367482503, Abingdon & New York.

"Impossible Takes Longer: 75 Years After its Creation, Has Israel Fulfilled Its Founders' Dreams?" by Daniel Gordis is a comprehensive exploration of Israel's history over the past 75 years. The book takes a thematic approach, covering topics such as Israel's Declaration of Independence, major wars, and the aspirations of the founding fathers. Gordis provides a balanced perspective, including both the Israeli and Arab narratives, and delves into the less savory aspects of Israeli history. While there are some minor errors in the book, it remains an important and valuable resource for understanding Israel's past and present. [Extracted from the article]

The article reviews the Readykeulous exhibit held at the Invisible-Exports Gallery in New York City from January 14 to February 13, 2010, which features feminist and lesbian art.

This paper concerns Black women poets of the Harlem Renaissance. Considered by modern critics to have adopted anachronistic subject matter and to be out of step with the militant race-consciousness of the period, these poets have been largely neglected in discussions of the 1920's, despite the fact that this was the most significant flowering of Black women's writing until the 1960's. I provide an interpretive model that reveals the rebellious messages in this verse, one that helps explain the poets' imaginative choices by placing them in their historical context and liking them to a female poetic tradition. This approach makes clear the affirming nature of Renaissance poetry by women and makes it accessible to us today, anticipating as it does contemporary issues and forging a modern sensibility.

For Freud, what pre-eminently fitted Jung for the role of saviour of psychoanalysis, a science that had hitherto been all-too-easily dismissed as a narrowly Jewish affair, was (at least partly) Jung's identity as an "aryan" Christian. To take an example that is highly relevant to the subject of this book, Jung thought the rise of Hitler could be better explained as an unconscious revival of the Teutonic god Wotan than as the result of, for example, inflation or of the Treaty of Versailles (Jung, [2]). In the subsequent chapters, Burston focuses on the fascinating story of how two prominent Jewish Jungians, James Kirsch and Erich Neumann, dealt with Jung's actions throughout this period.

Turkle's long and deep history of having to live with the "Zimmerman/Turkle" deception and the name of the father lie, resonating like a Gestalt ambiguous image, hidden in plain view, leaves Turkle vulnerable in matters of the heart. Even Turkle's siblings do not learn about her other last name - about the other father and "the name of the father" (an allusion to a distinction by the famous French psychoanalyst Jacque Lacan, with whom Sherry will engage) - until adulthood. Sherry's mother married Charles Zimmerman, which was Sherry's last name as Charles was her biological father.

Watergate: Competing Fond Memories: Melissa Graves:Nixon's FBI: Hoover, Watergate, and a Bureau in Crisis. INTRIGUES AND OTHER "GRAY" STORIES I Nixon's FBI i examines the historically complex and often fraught relationship between the White House and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Hoover first revealed his new attitude in 1970 with the White House formulation of the so-called Huston Plan.[1] Nixon was convinced, as was Hoover, that the Black Panther Party was receiving foreign funding and demanded that the FBI confirm it.

On 8 August 1969, Charles Manson ordered members of his hippie cult "the Family"[1] to murder Wojciech "Voytek" Frykowski, Abigail Folger, Steven Parent, Jay Sebring, and Sharon Tate, the pregnant wife of filmmaker Roman Polanski. No. O'Neill cannot convincingly demonstrate that Manson interacted with West or participated in CIA-supported mind control experiments.

Whipple aptly states early in his prose that "[e]very CIA director faces a defining crisis."[1] However, Whipple's underlying analysis that the directors' actions are a reflection of presidential directive fails to acknowledge that, in some cases, these defining crisis are of their own doing.

According to Hazony, the Hebrew Bible provides "the first sustained presentation" of a polity "based on the independence of a nation living within limited borders alongside other independent nations" (18). Hazony's praise of the liberal philosopher John Stuart Mill as an opponent of "multinational empire" (198) does not square with his contention that liberalism and nationalism always cancel each other out. In an age in which words like "populism" and "nation state" have become pejoratives, Yoram Hazony's defense of nationalism is audacious. [Extracted from the article]

But inevitably the reader will have to work hard to conceptualise holism, and in an excellent introduction the editors concede that it may well be easier to define holism by what it opposes. Humans seek connection between themselves and other things in the world, and intuit relationships between parts and wholes, such that parts can't be understood without reference to the whole, or even exist independently.

The approachability of the source material and explicit modeling of inquiry strategies related to SOURCES is undoubtedly where this book's primary value would lay to a history classroom teacher. The more experienced and techno-savvy teacher may well recognize some of the many resources highlighted in these chapters, but this section is expansive enough to offer all classroom teachers with something they might look to incorporate into their own practice as a means of supporting student inquiry. This tighter alignment may have succeeded in more clearly demonstrating not only the specific benefits of a certain technology platform within the classroom, but also how teachers might envision an inquiry-centric classroom that leverages technology as a core support structure.

But the language of "no context" that Togashi uses to such advantage, has for me, serious problems when translated back into our Western philosophical context. Koichi Togashi trained as a psychoanalyst in New York (in English, his second language) and then returned in 2006 to his native Japan, where he has endeavored to integrate self psychological and intersubjective perspectives with the cultural and clinical experiences that he encountered at home. Within Japanese culture, the contrast with everyday social expectations is evidently so radical that Togashi is impelled to call this new context "no context.". [Extracted from the article]

Sullivan became known for his pioneering work on an all-male psychiatric unit, where he took some of the ideas contained in Freudian psychoanalysis and modified them for therapy with schizophrenic patients. All the authors in their own ways struggle with what psychoanalysis has to offer, what is useful to patients, and with pursuing authenticity rather than adherence to a theoretical idea or analytic school. The history of psychoanalysis does not unfold in an orderly fashion and is subject, like all history, to the perspective and biases of the historian. [Extracted from the article]

On the other hand, many commentators have, since the 1970s, held that Australian cinema should be entirely distinct from Hollywood, which generally translates to a derision of production models, or film genres, that Hollywood has popularised. With the Australian New Wave emerging between the eras of the cultural cringe and new nationalism, approaches to genre in the national film industry quickly settled into two ideological categories.

Newspaper publisher Elijah Lovejoy's efforts to write about abolishing slavery ended in 1837 in Alton, Illinois, when he was killed while defending his printing press from an angry mob bent on silencing him. In I First to Fall i , Ken Ellingwood crafts the story of Lovejoy's life, arguing that John Quincy Adams was right when he called Lovejoy "the first American martyr to freedom of the press." Ellingwood also complicates our understanding of press freedom in the 1830s by showing how few newspapers came to Lovejoy's defense when mobs attacked him. [Extracted from the article]

Salet argues that planning legitimacy relies, ultimately, on a robust relationship and indeed coherence between sets of public norms on the one hand, and planning policies and programs on the other. Here Salet develops a valuable typology of five institutional paradigms: historical institutionalism, rational choice institutionalism (called "institutional-actor approaches" here), urban regime theory, regulation theory, and social-cultural institutionalism. As Salet puts it, there is a "direct connection between the search of legitimacy and the aim of effectiveness of public action" (Salet [2], p. 16). [Extracted from the article]
