Males at Risk

Males at Risk

It happens. Male children and adolescents are sexually abused, sexually misused, and involved with adults, peers, and siblings in ways that inhibit the development of normal sexuality. In Males at Risk, the authors examine why sexual abuse occurs, how prevalent the problem is among male populations, and offer suggestions for clinicians working with sexually abused children. The authors examine environmental factors which may contribute to child sexual abuse, explore the long-term impact on child victims, the differences between male and female child victims, the role of perpetrators, and evaluation, assessment, and treatment issues. Finally, the authors provide step-by-step case guidelines for clinicians involved in treating abused male children. "Clinicians will welcome this long overdue resource. . . . Refreshingly, clinicians are encouraged both to evaluate individual differences in determining the meaning of the abuse itself and to attend to the full range of emotional, sexual, and interpersonal spheres of functioning." --Readings: A Journal of Reviews and Commentary in Mental Health "This book is filled with useful information on a subject often left unaddressed. I recommend this book to clinicians who treat males who have been sexually abused and to anyone else concerned with this subject." --Family Violence Bulletin "An excellent sourcebook for those dealing with the rehabilitation of abused male children and, possibly, male abusers. . . . Males at Risk is a sensitive but heavy look at sexual abuse of the male child, following through treatment/therapy to recovery." --Paediatric Nursing "Males at Risk is a welcome addition to the relatively small existing literature which addresses the difficulties faced by abused males. . . . An important early source for those wishing to develop services for adult males abused as children, particularly in respect of addressing potential perpetration dangers." --Community Care "This book is well written and well documented. . . . A book that all practitioners, researchers, and instructors in the area of child sexual abuse will want to have on their shelves. It will prove a valuable addition to their collections." --Journal of Marriage and the Family "[The authors] describe the many possible areas in which persons can be psychologically damaged by abuse, the possible therapeutic techniques available for treatment, the available tests and inventories for assessing the victim's functioning, prioritization of problem areas, and development of a treatment plan...will certainly be useful for practitioners dealing with sexual abuse victims of either sex. The book is quite good." --Contemporary Sociology "An excellent book. It provides a thoughtful discussion of what is known about sexual abuse of males and gives detailed information about assessment techniques and treatment strategies. I recommend it to anyone who works with male incest victims." --Issues in Child Abuse Accusations "An intelligent and worthwhile effort on the part of the authors to bring together several scarce and often conflicting sources of information. It offers a practical and meaningful source of information for clinicians and researchers who are seeking a comprehensive perspective on sexual molestation as it applies to males. It further serves to identify boys and men as victims in need of special attention in the process of assessment and intervention. For clinicians who treat sexually abused boys and/or adult male survivors of childhood sexual abuse, this book should be an important resource." --Journal of Interpersonal Violence "In this scholarly but readable text geared towards the professional, the emphasis is upon the young male at risk, the manner in which potentially hazardous situations arise, and what to do about it." --Child and Family Behavior Therapy "An important addition to the treating therapist's library. . .will help therapists help violated children heal." --Contemporary Psychology "I heartily recommend this book, not simply to therapists who specialize in treating ongoing child abuse survivors, but to all clinicians who work with males. This book reminds therapists to stay alert for the signs of abuse, provides a framework to assess for abuse, and offers a complete model to treat when abuse is discovered." --Resource Reviews "Thanks to Bolton, Morris, and MacEacheron for a document that will serve helpers of every stripe well. More important, it will serve the children." --The Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Review "Highly recommended." --Family Violence & Sexual Assault Bulletin Book Club

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERWINNER OF THE RANDY SHILTS AWARD "I once] said to Frank] I was sorry I would never be able to vote for him as the first gay president of the United States. After reading this book, I am sorrier than ever."--Garry Wills, The New York Review of Books Growing up in Bayonne, New Jersey, Barney Frank made two vital discoveries about himself: he was attracted to government, and to men. He resolved to make a career out of the first and to keep the second a secret. Now, his sexual orientation is widely accepted, while his belief in government is embattled. Frank: A Life in Politics from the Great Society to Same-Sex Marriage is his account of America's transformation--and the tale of a truly momentous career. From the battle over AIDS funding in the 1980s to the 2008 financial crisis, Barney Frank played a key role, and in this feisty and often moving memoir, he candidly discusses the satisfactions, fears, and grudges that come with elected office. He recalls the emotional toll of living in the closet while publicly crusading against homophobia. He discusses painful quarrels with allies; friendships with public figures, from Tip O'Neill to Sonny Bono; and how he found love with his husband, Jim Ready, becoming the first sitting member of Congress to enter a same-sex marriage. The result is the story of an extraordinary political life, an original argument for rebuilding trust in government, and a guide to how change really happens--composed by a master of the art.

Maria Edgeworth (1 January 1768 - 22 May 1849) was a prolific Anglo-Irish writer of adults' and children's literature. She was one of the first realist writers in children's literature and was a significant figure in the evolution of the novel in Europe. She held advanced views, for a woman of her time, on estate management, politics and education, and corresponded with some of the leading literary and economic writers, including Sir Walter Scott and David Ricardo. Early life: Maria Edgeworth was born at Black Bourton, Oxfordshire. She was the second child of Richard Lovell Edgeworth (who eventually fathered 22 children by four wives) and Anna Maria Edgeworth; Maria was thus an aunt of Francis Ysidro Edgeworth. She spent her early years with her mother's family in England, until her mother's death when Maria was five. When her father married his second wife Honora Sneyd in 1773, she went with him to his estate, Edgeworthstown, in County Longford, Ireland. Maria was sent to Mrs. Lattafi re's school in Derby after Honora fell ill in 1775. After Honora died in 1780 Maria's father married Honora's sister Elizabeth (then socially disapproved and legally forbidden from 1833 until the Deceased Wife's Sister's Marriage Act 1907). Maria transferred to Mrs. Devis's school in London. Her father's attention became fully focused on her in 1781 when she nearly lost her sight to an eye infection. Returning home at the age of 14, she took charge of her many younger siblings and was home-tutored in law, Irish economics and politics, science, and literature by her father. She also started her lifelong correspondences with learned men, mainly members of the Lunar Society. She became her father's assistant in managing the Edgeworthstown estate, which had become run-down during the family's 1777-1782 absence; she would live and write there for the rest of her life. With their bond strengthened, Maria and her father began a lifelong academic collaboration "of which she was the more able and nimble mind." Present at Edgeworthstown was an extended family, servants and tenants. She observed and recorded the details of daily Irish life, later drawing on this experience for her novels about the Irish. She also mixed with the Anglo-Irish gentry, particularly Kitty Pakenham (later the wife of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington), Lady Moira, and her aunt Margaret Ruxton of Black Castle. Margaret supplied her with the novels of Anne Radcliffe and William Godwin and encouraged her in her writing. Though Maria Edgeworth spent most of her childhood in England, her life in Ireland had a profound impact on both her thinking and views surrounding her Irish culture. Fauske and Kaufman conclude, " She] used her fiction to address the inherent problems of acts delineated by religious, national, racial, class based, sexual, and gendered identities." Edgeworth used works such Castle Rackrent and Harrington to express her feelings on controversial issues.

The Betrayal of Anne Frank: A Cold Case Investigation

The Betrayal of Anne Frank: A Cold Case Investigation

Rosemary Sullivan

Harper

sidottu
A New York Times BestsellerLess a mystery unsolved than a secret well kept...Using new technology, recently discovered documents and sophisticated investigative techniques, an international team--led by an obsessed retired FBI agent--has finally solved the mystery that has haunted generations since World War II: Who betrayed Anne Frank and her family? And why?Over thirty million people have read The Diary of a Young Girl, the journal teen-aged Anne Frank kept while living in an attic with her family and four other people in Amsterdam during World War II, until the Nazis arrested them and sent them to a concentration camp. But despite the many works--journalism, books, plays and novels--devoted to Anne's story, none has ever conclusively explained how these eight people managed to live in hiding undetected for over two years--and who or what finally brought the Nazis to their door.With painstaking care, retired FBI agent Vincent Pankoke and a team of indefatigable investigators pored over tens of thousands of pages of documents--some never before seen--and interviewed scores of descendants of people familiar with the Franks. Utilizing methods developed by the FBI, the Cold Case Team painstakingly pieced together the months leading to the infamous arrest--and came to a shocking conclusion. The Betrayal of Anne Frank: A Cold Case Investigation is the riveting story of their mission. Rosemary Sullivan introduces us to the investigators, explains the behavior of both the captives and their captors and profiles a group of suspects. All the while, she vividly brings to life wartime Amsterdam: a place where no matter how wealthy, educated, or careful you were, you never knew whom you could trust.
