The Dozier School for Boys: Forensics, Survivors, and a Painful Past

The Dozier School for Boys: Forensics, Survivors, and a Painful Past

Elizabeth A. Murray

Twenty-First Century Books (Tm)
2019
sidottu
From the outside, the Dozier School for Boys in Florida looked utterly charming. Carefully manicured lawns and attractive plantings adorned walkways and drives. But the reality of life at Dozier was ugly. In 2008, almost one hundred years after the reform school's founding, Robert Straley and Roger Dean Kiser discovered they shared similar abusive experiences while students at Dozier. They recalled vicious punishments at a campus building called the white house, where staff used a leather strap to beat inmates. Straley was also raped at Dozier. In their shared grief and trauma, the two men reached out to filmmaker and civil rights activist Michael O'McCarthy. He too had experienced abuse at Dozier. He contacted Miami Herald journalist Carol Marbin Miller to tell their story. As the details went public, investigations into Dozier began. The State of Florida finally closed the school in 2011 and officially apologized to survivors in 2017. A forensic investigation took place on the campus, including digging up its cemetery, since it was alleged that some boys had been killed at the school. Thus far, forensic anthropologist Dr. Erin Kimmerle and her team from the University of South Florida have uncovered over fifty sets of human remains. Yet none of the investigative or scientific work could prove any of the allegations. No perpetrators could be brought to justice. In the end, survivors and their families must live with the knowledge that justice may never be served. Follow this story of institutional abuse, the brave survivors who spoke their truth, and the scientists and others who brought it to light.

A Spiritual Audit of Corporate America

Ian Mitroff; Elizabeth A. Denton

John Wiley Sons Inc
2012
nidottu
This first-ever survey of spiritual beliefs and practices among managers and executives finds that, while most people have strong spiritual beliefs, few feel that they can act on those beliefs at work. And yet, overall company performance is actually higher in companies where company values and spiritual values coalesce. Filling a gap in today's literature on spirituality and business, this book examines five proven models for introducing spirituality to the workplace and spells out the strengths and weaknesses of each model. More than a personal guide to spiritual well-being, it shows how you can harness the immense spiritual energy at everyone's core, and outlines solutions for bringing that energy into the organization.

Sovereign: A Handbook for Maintaining Personal Mastery in all Affairs

Sovereign: A Handbook for Maintaining Personal Mastery in all Affairs

Sylvia R. Swann; Elizabeth a. Wilson

Independently Published
2019
nidottu
The practice of Sovereignty is the gentle and serene art of overseeing the activity of the mind, the flow of the energy field and the state of being, so that one can experience anew from a wiser vantage point. It may take certain tools to begin with. With metacognition - the art of thinking about thinking - we can consciously guide our thought systems into revitalizing and empowering patterns. With simple energy work we can attune our biofields and refine our point of attraction with precision. With essential oils - the remarkable life force and consciousness of our botanical cousins - we can help transition the brain chemistry, the blood chemistry, the subtle energy body, and our environment into a frequency that supports our intention to relax deeper and deeper into the Kingdom of Heaven - the peaceful bliss of here and now. Mastering these tools, or rather, using these tools to master our response to our external environment, is what makes us truly Sovereign. When it becomes your nature, you'll no longer need any tools. Until then, this little handbook is your daily companion to offer simple techniques, comfort, guidance, and attunement to your highest awareness.

University of Minnesota Press
2020
sidottu
An accessible guide to the work of American psychologist and affect theorist Silvan Tomkins The brilliant and complex theories of psychologist Silvan Tomkins (1911–1991) have inspired the turn to affect in the humanities, social sciences, and elsewhere. Nevertheless, these theories are not well understood. A Silvan Tomkins Handbook makes his theories portable across a range of interdisciplinary contexts and accessible to a wide variety of contemporary scholars and students of affect. A Silvan Tomkins Handbook provides readers with a clear outline of Tomkins’s affect theory as he developed it in his four-volume masterwork Affect Imagery Consciousness. It shows how his key terms and conceptual innovations can be used to build robust frameworks for theorizing affect and emotion. In addition to clarifying his affect theory, the Handbook emphasizes Tomkins’s other significant contributions, from his broad theories of imagery and consciousness to more focused concepts of scenes and scripts. With their extensive experience engaging and teaching Tomkins’s work, Adam J. Frank and Elizabeth A. Wilson provide a user-friendly guide for readers who want to know more about the foundations of affect studies.
