The Violent Bear It Away

The Violent Bear It Away

Faber Faber
1980
nidottu
Flannery O'Connor's second and final novel, a dark and absorbing southern Gothic conflict between the sacred and the profane.The Violent Bear It Away was described on its publication as 'one of the most original and strange books of its decade' by the Spectator. It displays her astonishing gifts for satire with compassion and for pathos with humour.It tells the story of Francis Marion Tarwater, an orphan who lives 'backcountry' with his great uncle in Powderhead, Tennessee. Before the old man dies, he prophesies Tarwater's fate: 'the Lord will call him to be a prophet'.As in her other work, Flannery O'Connor unfolds a compelling tale of obsession and religious conflict in the Deep South.

A Violent Birth by Drowning: A Meditation on Alcoholism

A Violent Birth by Drowning: A Meditation on Alcoholism

David a. Boone

Independently Published
2018
nidottu
"A Violent Birth by Drowning" examines a profound cultural loss--the loss of a generation of Americans to alcoholism and drug abuse. The cure for these devastating afflictions and the restoration of the addict to a happy and useful life has been with us for three quarters of a century but is being washed down the barroom sink with the dirty dish water of narcissism. Recovery has been right in front of us which is one of the main reasons it eluded me for years. It was right there but I was too self-absorbed to notice it or to take it seriously.Treatment doesn't cost a dime despite what it says on television but it will cost you everything, mainly the personality that made you drink a quart of whiskey or stick a needle in your arm. Maybe it wasn't you. Maybe it was your husband or your wife. Maybe it was your son or your daughter, your employee or even your parent.The people who do these things are called addicts and any addict, any alcoholic will tell you that John Barleycorn and his compulsions will never die. We have known that forever. So the part of you that is the drunk must die, that person disguised as yourself who wants to take your life by destroying your body and your soul. This is happening right now, all across the globe, across our country and across your neighborhood. If you don't know an alcoholic or an opioid addict now, trust me you will. Relief from the ravages of addiction takes the form of a powerful spirituality that will melt the icy shell that surrounds the heart of every drunk or addict who is willing to sacrifice love, honor, employment, marriage, even life itself for pleasure. Addiction is the obsession of the soul. It's not about what you think; it's about what you do and don't do. This book will show you how it's done. It was written in blood and agony, crime and indulgence. It was scrawled across a life that was destroyed and then pulled, barely alive, from the ashes. Life and death are like that. Try the tale out; you might have to cross your own desert to get to the well.

Casey Owens After a night of partying, Casey had to grow up fast. At a time when most fifteen year old girls were worrying about what they wanted to wear to the next dance, she was worrying about how she was going to finish school while raising a child. The whispers, the dirty looks, and having to see the boy who raped her every time she went into town, turned her into a recluse. When her old Pack Mate, Lily Quinn, reaches out and offers her a haven in New Orleans, Casey takes it. All she wants to do is raise her son and be happy. She didn't need a man in her life for that, but one look at Nikolai and she started having second thoughts. Nikolai Romanov As a Siberian Tiger Shifter unable to return to Russia, where the rest of his species lived, Nikolai had accepted a long time ago that he would never find his mate. While some, like his brother, chose to marry humans, Nikolai chose to remain alone. The moment he catches Casey's scent he is drawn to her. When his eyes lock onto the petite blond, he refuses their bond. She was a wolf; he was a tiger. It wasn't possible. So why, when she leaves New Orleans, does his tiger pine for her as if he'd lost his mate?

Neurobiological Bases of Abnormal Aggression and Violent Behaviour

Neurobiological Bases of Abnormal Aggression and Violent Behaviour

József Haller

Springer Verlag GmbH
2014
sidottu
Mechanisms controlling aggressive behavior started to be identified from late 20's of the 20th century and subsequent research described such mechanisms in great detail. While the findings are of great relevance for the understanding of aggression per se, they provide limited insights into the mechanisms of abnormal aggression i.e. those mechanisms that underlie aggression-related psychopathologies. While basic phenomena and mechanism of aggression are presented, this book is the first that comprehensively describes ultimate and proximate mechanisms that transform normal (laboratory animals) or tolerable (humans) manifestations of aggressiveness into abnormal patterns in laboratory animals and aggression-related psychopathologies in humans. This book is written for behavioral neurobiologists and neuroscientists, interested in emotional control in general and aggression research in particular. The book will also offer important information to neurologists and psychiatrists dealing with aggressive behavior in the clinic and ultimately, may provide means to understand and on the long run to discover novel approaches to the treatment of abnormal human aggression.

The Social Context of Violent Behaviour

The Social Context of Violent Behaviour

Emanuel Marx

Routledge
2004
sidottu
First published in 1976. Violent behaviour occurs in every society. It grows out of the social order and can therefore be understood only in a social context. This book examines an orderly and relatively tranquil society, a small Israeli town settled by new immigrants, which is run by public agencies who pour in their resources to maintain the inhabitants. Circumstances have made the town an egalitarian society, but also limit its members' economic opportunities. This society has produced its special combinations of violent behaviour. The analysis extensively employs the 'case method' which has increasingly been used by social anthropologists.

The Cambridge Handbook of Violent Behavior and Aggression

The Cambridge Handbook of Violent Behavior and Aggression

Cambridge University Press
2018
sidottu
The Cambridge Handbook of Violent Behavior and Aggression presents the current state of knowledge related to the study of violent behaviors and aggression. An important extension of the first Handbook published ten years ago, the second edition maintains a distinctly cross-disciplinary focus by representing the newest scholarship and insights from behavior genetics, cross-cultural comparative psychology/criminology, evolutionary psychology, criminal justice, criminology, human development, molecular genetics, neurosciences, psychology, prevention and intervention sciences, psychiatry, psychopharmacology, public health, and sociology. The Handbook is divided into introductory and overview chapters on the study of violent behavior and aggression, followed by chapters on biosocial bases, individual and interpersonal factors, contextual factors, and prevention and intervention work and policy implications. It is an essential resource for researchers, scholars, and graduate students across social and behavioral science disciplines interested in the etiology, intervention, and prevention of violent behavior and aggression.

The Science of Violent Behavior Development and Prevention

The Science of Violent Behavior Development and Prevention

Cambridge University Press
2022
pokkari
This book describes the lives of 12 people born in Europe and North America during the Second World War. They became leading scholars on the development and prevention of violent human behavior. From the first to the last page, the book introduces contrasting life-stories and shows how their paths crossed to create a relatively unified body of knowledge on how human violence develops and possible prevention methods. The authors describe the similarities and differences in their family background, university training, theories, and collaborations. Not to mention how they differ in research methods, scientific conclusions, and their influence on the research published today. These comparisons celebrates the diversity of their experience and, in turn, their achievements. By knowing this, you can stand on the shoulders of these giants to look to the future of this subject and potentially contribute to its next steps.

A bully who uses violence to inflict harm will often choose victims who can't or are afraid to fight back. This makes their acts of physical abuse difficult to combat, but there is help for victims. This useful volume analyzes and explains the different types of violent physical abuse and why bullies will choose one victim over another. Readers will learn essential, nonviolent options for escaping the cycle of abuse. Examples of real-life people who have escaped their bullies will inspire courage.
