Download or read book Sexual Blackmail written by Angus McLaren and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2002-11-04 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexual blackmail first reached public notice in the late eighteenth century when laws against sodomy were exploited by the unscrupulous to extort money from those they could entrap. Angus McLaren chronicles this parasitic crime, tracing its expansion in England and the United States through the Victorian era and into the first half of the twentieth century. The labeling of certain sexual acts as disreputable, if not actually criminal--abortion, infidelity, prostitution, and homosexuality--armed would-be blackmailers and led to a crescendo of court cases and public scandals in the 1920s and 1930s. As the importance of sexual respectability was inflated, so too was the spectacle of its loss. Charting the rise and fall of sexual taboos and the shifting tides of shame, McLaren enables us to survey evolving sexual practices and discussions. He has mined the archives to tell his story through a host of fascinating characters and cases, from male bounders to designing women, from badger games to gold diggers, from victimless crimes to homosexual outing. He shows how these stories shocked, educated, entertained, and destroyed the lives of their victims. He also demonstrates how muckraking journalists, con men, and vengeful women determined the boundaries of sexual respectability and damned those considered deviant. Ultimately, the sexual revolution of the 1960s blurred the long-rigid lines of respectability, leading to a rapid decline of blackmail fears. This fascinating view of the impact of regulating sexuality from the late Victorian Age to our own time demonstrates the centrality of blackmail to sexual practices, deviance, and the law.
Book Synopsis Emotional Blackmail by : Susan Forward
Download or read book Emotional Blackmail written by Susan Forward and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-07-30 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical guide to better communication that will break the blackmail cycle for good, by one of the nation's leading therapists, Susan Forward. “Breathe a sigh of relief! Susan Forward helps you identify and correct an intensely destructive and confusing pattern of relating with those you love. I highly recommend this important book!"—Susan Jeffers, Ph.D., author of Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway "If you really loved me..." "After all I've done for you..." "How can you be so selfish..." Do any of the above sound familiar? They're all examples of emotional blackmail, a powerful form of manipulation in which people close to us threaten to punish us for not doing what they want. Emotional blackmailers know how much we value our relationships with them. They know our vulnerabilities and our deepest secrets. They are our mothers, our partners, our bosses and coworkers, our friends and our lovers. And no matter how much they care about us, they use this intimate knowledge to give themselves the payoff they want: our compliance. Susan Forward knows what pushes our hot buttons. Just as John Gray illuminates the communications gap between the sexes in Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, and Harriet Lerner describes an intricate dynamic in The Dance of Anger, so Susan Forward presents the anatomy of a relationship damaged by manipulation, and gives readers an arsenal of tools to fight back.
Download or read book Blackmail written by Mike Hepworth and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-01-20 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1975 Blackmail: Publicity and Secrecy in Everyday Life examines why blackmail is often taken more seriously than murder and why it is widely considered as a serious social threat. Both fictional and real-life situations are used to explore the kinds of social situation in which various individuals become vulnerable to blackmail. In isolating the key ingredients of reputational blackmail in Britain over the last hundred years, this book is not preoccupied with threats to accuse someone of a major criminal offence such as murder or armed robbery, but rather with those cases where the penalties of discovery are less clear-cut and where public reaction may be much more ambivalent. Mike Hepworth focuses attention on the way blackmail is stigmatized in criminological and other literature and the possible validity of the stereotype in the light of alternative interpretations. This book is an interesting read for scholars and researchers of criminology and sociology.

Book Synopsis Stop Emotional Blackmail by : Vincenzo Venezia
Download or read book Stop Emotional Blackmail written by Vincenzo Venezia and published by . This book was released on with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If you really loved me, you would..." "I'll hurt myself if you don't do what I want." "You owe me after all I've done for you." "I'll tell everyone about your secrets if you don't…” Do these phrases sound familiar to you? The real meaning of these sentences, although it may trigger complex and confusing feelings, can be summed up in two simple words: emotional blackmail. Emotional blackmail is a covert form of aggression in which a person close to us threatens, directly or indirectly, to punish us if we don't meet their expectations. It's a powerful form of manipulation that can be used by anyone, including co-workers, parents, friends, and partners. Blackmailers can be cunning charmers and master manipulators. They may seem like kind and caring people at first, but they can quickly turn into a "black hole" willing to do anything to satisfy their needs. They are experts at making you feel guilty or obligated to them. They may use threats, tears, or guilt trips to get what they want. They may also play the victim or make you feel like you're the only one who can help them. Invisible chains that are hard to see and break can bind you to family, friends, colleagues, or partners. The blackmailer may seem selfish, devious, or mean, but this is often not the case. In reality, they may be struggling with their own emotional issues and using blackmail as a way to cope. Yes, I know this can be difficult to understand. If you know the gripping feeling of being emotionally blackmailed, then it's time to reassess how much you know about this form of manipulation. This book has everything you need to know about being the master of your own emotions and not letting anyone else take the reins. Here's a sneak peek at what you'll learn in this book: · Understand how emotional blackmail works and how to identify it. · Learn the red flags of emotional blackmail. · Recognize the characteristics that make you a target for emotional blackmail. · Understand how emotional blackmailers exploit attachment and codependency. · Recognize the five personality types commonly associated with emotional blackmail. · Learn the seven steps that emotional blackmailers use to control their victims. · Take steps to stop being a victim and safeguard your emotional well-being. · Understand the lasting impact of emotional blackmail on your emotions. · Address emotional blackmail in the context of the internet and social media. · Use assertive communication to resist emotional manipulation. · Build resilience to effectively counter emotional blackmail and thrive in relationships. They know your buttons and they'll keep pushing them if you don't stop them. If you are tired of the sickening pain of emotional blackmail, fear, guilt, obligation, shame, and other twisted mind games, do yourself a favor. Take a deep breath, relax that knot in your stomach, and pick up this book. It will protect you for life, and more importantly, it can break the invisible chain that binds you to your "blackmailer."

Book Synopsis Black Gold and Blackmail by : Rosemary A. Kelanic
Download or read book Black Gold and Blackmail written by Rosemary A. Kelanic and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-15 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Gold and Blackmail seeks to explain why great powers adopt such different strategies to protect their oil access from politically motivated disruptions. In extreme cases, such as Imperial Japan in 1941, great powers fought wars to grab oil territory in anticipation of a potential embargo by the Allies; in other instances, such as Germany in the early Nazi period, states chose relatively subdued measures like oil alliances or domestic policies to conserve oil. What accounts for this variation? Fundamentally, it is puzzling that great powers fear oil coercion at all because the global market makes oil sanctions very difficult to enforce. Rosemary A. Kelanic argues that two variables determine what strategy a great power will adopt: the petroleum deficit, which measures how much oil the state produces domestically compared to what it needs for its strategic objectives; and disruptibility, which estimates the susceptibility of a state's oil imports to military interdiction—that is, blockade. Because global markets undercut the effectiveness of oil sanctions, blockade is in practice the only true threat to great power oil access. That, combined with the devastating consequences of oil deprivation to a state's military power, explains why states fear oil coercion deeply despite the adaptive functions of the market. Together, these two variables predict a state's coercive vulnerability, which determines how willing the state will be to accept the costs and risks attendant on various potential strategies. Only those great powers with large deficits and highly disruptible imports will adopt the most extreme strategy: direct control of oil through territorial conquest.

Sample Book Insights: #1 The world of emotional blackmail is confusing, and it is difficult to see when a pattern of manipulation is developing in a relationship. It is often subtle and occurs in the context of a relationship where much is good and positive. #2 The six stages of emotional blackmail are resistance, pressure, demand, guilt, pity, and finally, acceptance. They are designed to wear down the other person until they give in. #3 The six characteristics of emotional blackmail are demands, pressure, and capitulation. They are at the heart of the syndrome, and we will be returning to them and exploring them more deeply throughout this book. #4 Emotional blackmail is when we are manipulated into doing something against our will, often by a person who is trying to get something from us. It can be difficult to recognize when this is happening, because it takes place over time.

Book Synopsis Spiritual Blackmail by : Sherri Schettler
Download or read book Spiritual Blackmail written by Sherri Schettler and published by . This book was released on 2014-11-19 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Spiritual Blackmail" is a timely story in the wake of the 50th anniversary of Vatican II and the recent dual canonization of Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II. While the changes brought about by Vatican II were welcomed by many Catholics, they caused a great deal of consternation for others, including Sherri's parents. Their well-meaning choice to escape from what they believed was the "corruption" of their beloved Church and to join a renegade traditionalist group and its charismatic, abusive leader had significant, long-term effects on Sherri - effects that she continues to deal with as a Catholic in the 21st Century. "Spiritual Blackmail" testifies to the triumph of the human spirit in the face of spiritual turmoil, but also to the powerful truth that it is possible to find the good and a reason for gratitude even amid seeming abandonment and betrayal by those most trusted.
Book Synopsis Refugees, Terror and Other Troubles with the Neighbors by : Slavoj Zizek
Download or read book Refugees, Terror and Other Troubles with the Neighbors written by Slavoj Zizek and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular philosopher and leftist rabble-rouser Slavoj Zizek looks at one of the most desperate situations of our time: the current refugee crisis overwhelming Europe In this short yet stirring book, Slavoj Zizek—called “the Elvis of cultural history” by The New York Times—argues that accepting all comers or blocking all entry are both untenable solutions . . . But there is a third option. Today, hundreds of thousands of people, desperate to escape war, violence and poverty, are crossing the Mediterranean to seek refuge in Europe. Our response, from our protected Western European standpoint, argues Slavoj Zizek, offers two versions of ideological blackmail: either we open our doors as widely as possible; or we try to pull up the drawbridge. Both solutions are bad, states Zizek. They merely prolong the problem, rather than tackling it. The refugee crisis also presents an opportunity, a unique chance for Europe to redefine itself: but, if we are to do so, we have to start raising unpleasant and difficult questions. We must also acknowledge that large migrations are our future: only then can we commit to a carefully prepared process of change, one founded not on a community that see the excluded as a threat, but one that takes as its basis the shared substance of our social being. The only way, in other words, to get to the heart of one of the greatest issues confronting Europe today is to insist on the global solidarity of the exploited and oppressed. Maybe such solidarity is a utopia. But, warns Zizek, if we don't engage in it, then we are really lost. And we will deserve to be lost.
