Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving deftly among literary and visual arts, as well as the modern critical canon, Christopher Prendergast's book explores the meaning and value of representation as both a philosophical challenge (What does it mean to create an image that "stands for" something absent?) and a political issue (Who has the right to represent whom?). The Triangle of Representation raises a range of theoretical, historical, and aesthetic questions, and offers subtle readings of such cultural critics as Raymond Williams, Paul de Man, Edward Said, Walter Benjamin, and Hélène Cixous, in addition to penetrating investigations of visual artists like Gros, Ingres, and Matisse and significant insights into Proust and the onus of translating him. Above all, Prendergast's work is a striking display of how a firm grounding in theory is essential for the exploration of art and literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It has been 17 years since the first edition of Navigating Human Service Organizations (Navigating) was published-and about twenty years since the Margaret Gibelman began working on a unique and engaging textbook that has been used in many dozens of classrooms. I did not participate in the initial writing of the book, I joined the project later. Yet shorty after it was released, I reviewed it for possible adoption for a practice class, so can semi-dispassionately reflect upon the initial notes I made about the latest book of the director of the doctoral program from which I graduated"--

Download or read book Combat Social Work written by Charles R. Figley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-26 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social workers have a long, proud history of service in most branches of the United States military. The experiences of social workers and other human service professionals of all military ranks have an important, often profound, and lasting impact that informs not only their practice within the military but throughout their career long after they have left the combat zone. In exploring the experiences of 13 American combat social workers (CSWs)--whose role is, among other things, providing military mental health services to members in their unit--this book shares lessons from military service through the lens of social work practitioners. The text includes strategies learned about social work practice in a war zone that are highly applicable to other highly stressful contexts (e.g., crisis intervention, stress reduction procedures, suicide prevention, brief psychotherapy, and consultation on family issues). Combat Social Work is uniquely positioned to serve as a valuable resource for social workers and other mental health providers interested in the assessment and treatment of trauma with active members of the military and military veterans.
