In 1847, young Dr. Abraham Van Norstrand left Vermont to seek his fortune in the West, but in Wisconsin his business ventures failed, and a medical practice among hard-up settlers added little to his pocketbook. During the Civil War he organised and ran one of the army’s biggest hospitals but resigned when dark rumours surfaced about him. Back home, he accepted with mixed feelings the one prestigious position available to him: superintendent of the state’s first hospital for the insane.Van Norstrand was a newcomer to the so-called “Hospital Movement,” perhaps the boldest public policy innovation of its time, one whose leaders believed that they could achieve what had long been regarded as impossible, to cure the insane. He was a driven man with scant sympathy for those he considered misfits or malingerers. Even so, early observers were impressed with his energetic, take-charge manner at the hospital. Here at last was a man who stood firm where his predecessors had weakened and foundered. But others began to detect a different side to this tireless ruler and adroit politician. It was said that he assaulted patients and served them tainted food purchased with state money from his own grocery store. Was he exploiting the weak for personal gain or making the best of a thankless situation? Out of this fog of suspicion emerged a moral crusader and—to all appearances—pristine do-gooder named Samuel Hastings, a man whose righteous fury, once aroused, proved equal to Van Norstrand’s own.The story of Abraham Van Norstrand’s rise and fall is also the story of the clash between the great expectations and hard choices that have bedevilled public mental hospitals from the beginning.
Little Lindy Is Kidnapped: How the Media Covered the Crime of the Century
The biggest crime story in American history began on the night of March 1, 1932, when the twenty-month-old son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh was snatched from his crib in Hopewell, New Jersey. The news shocked a nation enthralled with the aviator, the first person to fly solo nonstop across the Atlantic. American law enforcement marshalled all its resources to return "Little Lindy" to the arms of his parents--and perhaps even more energized were the legions of journalists catering to a public whose appetite for Lindbergh news was insatiable.In Little Lindy Is Kidnapped, Thomas Doherty offers a lively and comprehensive cultural history of the media coverage of the abduction and its aftermath. Beginning with Lindbergh's ascent to fame and proceeding through the trial and execution of the accused kidnapper, Doherty traces how newspapers, radio, and newsreels reported on what was dubbed the "crime of the century." He casts the affair as a transformative moment for American journalism, analyzing how the case presented new challenges and opportunities for each branch of the media in the days before the rise of television. Coverage of the Lindbergh story, Doherty reveals, set the template for the way the media would treat breaking news ever after. An engrossing account of an endlessly fascinating case, Little Lindy Is Kidnapped sheds new light on an enduring quality of journalism ever since: the media's eye on a crucial part of the story--itself.

A long-forgotten jungle campaign takes on new life in the troubled mind of John Spenser, a missing soldier’s son. Determined to restore the reputation of the scape-goated general who led the campaign, Spenser comes across a figure large enough to fill the shoes of his absent father. Out of the distant past, that "missing" soldier shows up hoping to heal old wounds, a homecoming that does not end well – for him, his son, or the woman he left behind. “It’s not every day that I read a story about a man on the run with his recently deceased wife’s ashes on the shotgun seat of a rental car, but Tom Doherty’s swift, engrossing novel about a guy for whom life has proceeded mostly without complications – until he finds himself reckoning with his own damaging history – is a page-turner with the feel of an instant classic.” -- Susanna Daniel, author of the PEN award winning novel, STILTSVILLE. “With one master-stroke after another, Thomas Doherty paints a picture so engaging and framed with such modest eloquence, that FATHER WAR reads like a compact, Americanized WAR AND PEACE. Whether writing about jungle combat, horse cavalry drills in the 1930s, or the denizens of a long-abandoned army training camp, Doherty is unflinchingly observant and psychologically at his characters’ very hearts.” -- Eric Larsen, author of AN AMERICAN MEMORY, winner of the Chicago Tribune’s Heartland Prize.

The Judgments of Conscience and Judgment of Prudence in the Doctrine of St. Thomas Aquinas
The book ""The Judgments of Conscience and Judgment of Prudence in the Doctrine of St. Thomas Aquinas"" by Reginald G. Doherty is a comprehensive exploration of the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas on the two types of judgments that guide human decision-making: the judgments of conscience and the judgments of prudence. The author delves into the philosophical and theological underpinnings of these two types of judgments, and how they relate to each other and to the broader moral framework of Aquinas' thought.The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the judgments of conscience, which are the inner moral judgments that guide our actions and decisions. Doherty examines Aquinas' understanding of conscience, its role in moral decision-making, and how it relates to other aspects of his moral philosophy, such as natural law and virtues.The second part of the book deals with the judgments of prudence, which are the practical judgments that guide our actions in specific situations. Doherty explores Aquinas' understanding of prudence, its relationship to conscience, and how it is developed through experience and reflection.Throughout the book, Doherty provides detailed analysis of Aquinas' texts, as well as engaging with contemporary scholarship on Aquinas' thought. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of philosophy, theology, and ethics, as well as anyone interested in exploring the rich intellectual tradition of St. Thomas Aquinas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Teacher Preparation in Ireland

Teacher Preparation in Ireland

Fifty years ago, in 1967, free education was introduced in Ireland for attendance at second-level schools and great expansion of provision of education at both this and third-level followed. Currently, great interest is developing in this landmark development in Irish history, which was probably the most significant initiative taken in regard to education in Ireland from Independence from Britain in 1922 to the present. This book contributes to the interest generated by this landmark anniversary by tracing the history of teacher preparation in Ireland. It relates to the introduction to the ‘free education’ education scheme introduced in 1967, in that it provides an exposition on the nature of teacher preparation for teaching in primary and second-level schools both before and after the initiative was taken. Thus, it traces the history of teacher preparation through a number of stages; from education for nation-building in the new post-colonial society to partaking in the recent neo-liberal agenda sweeping through education systems throughout the world. This book should be of interest not only to Irish educationists, historians and policy makers, but also to their counterparts internationally, as well as to comparative educationists. It can be seen as providing an exposition which can be used by teacher educators in many parts of the world which they can use to sharpen their perceptions of their own situations through comparison and contrast, provoke ideas for critical discussion, and stimulate them to come to an understanding of the importance of considering contemporary developments within their wider historical contexts.

Who will step up to meet the challenge of the next rural crisis? Rural practice presents important yet challenging issues for psychology, especially given uneven population distribution, high levels of need, limited availability of rural services, and ongoing migration to urban centers. It is critical that mental health professionals and first responders in rural areas become aware of recent research, training and approaches to crisis intervention, traumatology, compassion fatigue, disaster mental health, critical incident stress management, post-traumatic stress and related areas in rural environments. Critical issues facing rural areas include: Physical issues such as land, air, and water resources, cheap food policy, chemicals and pesticides, animal rights, corruption in food marketing and distribution, and land appropriation for energy development. Quality of life issues such as rural America's declining share of national wealth, problems of hunger, education, and rural poverty among rural populations of farmers and ranchers. Direct service issues include the need to accommodate a wide variety of mental health difficulties, client privacy and boundaries, and practical challenges. Indirect service issues include the greater need for diverse professional activities, collaborative work with professionals having different orientations and beliefs, program development and evaluation, and conducting research with few mentors or peer collaborators. Professional training and development issues include lack of specialized relevant courses and placements. Personal issues include limited opportunities for recreation, culture, and lack of privacy. Doherty's first volume in this new series Crisis in the American Heartland explores these and many other issues. Each volume available in trade paper, hardcover, and eBook formats.

Mad, mennesker og måltider sætter mad og måltider i et socialt, kulturelt og psykologisk perspektiv. Bogen beskriver, hvad mad betyder for mennesker i forskellige sammenhænge, og hvilken rolle måltidet spiller i hverdagen - både i den private husholdning og i institutioner som børnehaver, skoler, hospitaler og plejehjem. Mad, mennesker og måltider fortæller også om de symbolske og kulturelle betydninger, der knytter sig til forskellige fødevarer, om sammenstød mellem madkultur, sundhed og miljøhensyn og om fødevareteknologi. Bogen behandler desuden madens rolle i forhold til normer, menneskers selvforståelse og identitet og i forhold til kultur, politik og religion. Endvidere belyses emner som spiseforstyrrelser, social ulighed i kostvaner, sociale aspekter af overvægt og fedme og moderne sundhedsdyrkelse. I denne 3. udgave af bogen er alle kapitler grundigt revideret og opdateret, og bogens område er bredt ud med en række nye temaer som madlavning, madindkøb, måltider i socialpolitikken, de globale fødevaresystemer, bæredygtigt fødevareforbrug samt mad og medier. Bogen er baseret på dansk og international samfundsvidenskabelig forskning og samler den nyeste viden på området. Mad, mennesker og måltider henvender sig primært til studerende på professionsbacheloruddannelsen i ernæring og sundhed, men er også relevant på de fleste uddannelser, der har med mennesker og måltider at gøre, fx sygeplejerske-, lærer- og pædagogstuderende. Bogen er egnet både til universiteter og på professionsbachelorniveau og kan ligeledes læses af praktikere og alment interesserede inden for området.

Alterities marks an advance to a new stage of critical theory. Dealing with literature from Shakespeare and Donne to Calvino, with philosophy from the medieval to the contemporary, with cinema from popular to art-film, and with political theory from Marx to Lyotard, Baudrillard and Badiou, Thomas Docherty intervenes in all the major contemporary cultural debates to propose and practise a new criticism, whose theoretical foundations lie in postmodern ethics, ecopolitics, and an austere attention to the radical difficulties of art. Docherty's new book is a response to a growing realization that modern criticism - even in its apparently oppositional forms - remains caught up within the limitations of a philosophy of identity. Consequently, the tacit purpose of existing critique is the self-legitimation of the subject of criticism, a solace gained only through the refusal of the encounter with the objects of criticism: art and the culture of sociality. Alterities argues that we must attend to the difficulty of aesthetic practices. The contention is that it is only through an attention to the radical otherness of the world outside consciousness that we will be able to arrive at a historical and materialist criticism. In making this claim, Docherty rehabilitates the questions of why we bother about art, and proposes new modes of critical engagement with contemporary culture. Bound together by the cohesive drive of Docherty's intelligence and the coerciveness of the arguments he enlarges about alterity and historicity, Alterities is essential reading for those interested in postmodernist theory.
