Community Board: A Novel
by Tara ConklinThe New York Times bestselling author of The Last Romantics delivers a wise, timely, big-hearted novel of unplanned isolation and newly forged community.Where does one go, you might ask, when the world falls apart? When the immutable facts of your life—the mundane, the trivial, the take-for-granted minutiae that once filled every second of every day—suddenly disappear? Where does one go in such dire and unexpected circumstances?I went home, of course. MURBRIDGE COMMUNITY MESSAGE BOARDFREE: 500 cans of corn. Accidentally ordered them online. I really hate corn. Happy to help load.REMINDER: use your own goddamn garbage can for your own goddamn pet waste. I’m looking at you Peter Luflin.REMINDER: monthly Select Board meeting this Friday. Agenda items: 1) sludge removal; 2) upkeep of chime tower; 3) ice rink monitor thank you gift. Questions? Contact Hildegard Hyman, HHMurbridge@gmail.comDarcy Clipper, prodigal daughter, nearly thirty, has returned home to Murbridge, Massachusetts, after her life takes an unwelcome left turn. Murbridge, Darcy is convinced, will welcome her home and provide a safe space in which she can nurse her wounds and harbor grudges, both real and imagined.But Murbridge, like so much else Darcy thought to be fixed and immutable, has changed. And while Darcy’s first instinct might be to hole herself up in her childhood bedroom, subsisting on Chef Boy-R-Dee and canned chickpeas, it is human nature to do two things: seek out meaningful human connection and respond to anonymous internet postings. As Murbridge begins to take shape around Darcy, both online and in person, Darcy will consider the most fundamental of American questions: What can she ask of her community? And what does she owe it in return?
Community Interventions to Create Change in Children
by Lorna LondonHelp a child meet the challenges of the "real" world! Our children spend a significant amount of time in school, working to develop the skills they need to succeed in the "real" world. But more and more, they face social and emotional challenges that can't be effectively addressed during school hours. Community Interventions to Create Change in Children reflects the efforts by psychologists to work outside the classroom, combining research with action to produce community-based interventions that address the concerns children struggle with every day: bullying and victimization, prejudice, cross-cultural friendships, poverty, and homelessness. Community Interventions to Create Change in Children presents varied interventions, methodologies, and practices with diverse groups of children. Qualitative and quantitative methodologies are used with accompanying case studies as psychologists interact with children in settings as varied as public parks, summer camps, and Kid's College, a Chicago-based program that promotes positive race relations. The book includes articles on: effective mentoring practices traditional behavioral reinforcement with homeless children survival skills for urban youth cross-cultural friendships prejudicial attitudes and behaviors and much more! Community Interventions to Create Change in Children is an essential resource for psychologists, educators, counselors, and social workers committed to making a difference in the lives of children.
Community Participation with Schools in Developing Countries: Towards Equitable and Inclusive Basic Education for All (Routledge Research in Educational Equality and Diversity)
by Mikiko NishimuraThe Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (2016-2030) set by the United Nations in 2015 restated the importance of universal primary education for all, and specifically discuss quality, equity, and inclusion in basic education. To achieve this, the role of community has been emphasized and participation has become a "buzzword" in international development over the past several decades. Despite the growing attention to community participation in school management, previous literature has shown mixed results in terms of its actual practice and its impacts on quality, equity, and inclusion in education. This book deepens the contextual understanding of community in developing countries and its involvement in schools in general, and its impact on quality, equity, and inclusion of school education in particular. By presenting various case studies in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and a post-conflict state in Europe, the book analyses commonalities and differences in the ways communities are involved and cast their impacts and challenges. The book contributes knowledge on the ways in which community involvement could work in developing countries, the detailed processes and factors that make community participation work in different dimensions, and remaining challenges that scholars and practitioners still need to be concerned and mindful in the field. This book will appeal to both researchers and practitioners who are concerned about the community participation approach for the SDGs.

Community and In-Home Behavioral Health Treatment
by Lynne Rice WestbrookLearn how you can cut down on rapport-building time, make your services accessible to more people, and put your consumers at ease during treatment by offering in-home and natural community-based behavioral health services. This book examines the impact that the environment can have on the comfort level, perception, ability to connect, and general mindset of consumers during treatment. Home and natural community-based services have the potential to help adults, youth, and children live in their own homes and natural communities with specific supports in place that can address their behavioral health needs. Lynne Rice Westbrook examines these treatment settings from the most restrictive to the least restrictive, and demonstrates how such services can be implemented to bring coverage to remote, rural, and underserved areas. Providing services in the consumer’s community allows children, youth, adults, and families to receive treatment they may not be able to access otherwise, and to stay together in their own community. This book provides a detailed map of the benefits, challenges and proposed solutions, and the steps professionals need to take in order to help change the tapestry of behavioral health provision one home, one healing at a time.
Commuter Spouses: New Families in a Changing World
by Danielle LindemannWhat can we learn from looking at married partners who live apart? In Commuter Spouses, Danielle Lindemann explores how couples cope when they live apart to meet the demands of their dual professional careers. Based on the personal stories of almost one-hundred commuter spouses, Lindemann shows how these atypical relationships embody (and sometimes disrupt!) gendered constructions of marriage in the United States. These narratives of couples who physically separate to maintain their professional lives reveal the ways in which traditional dynamics within a marriage are highlighted even as they are turned on their heads. Commuter Spouses follows the journeys of these couples as they adapt to change and shed light on the durability of some cultural ideals, all while working to maintain intimacy in a non-normative relationship.Lindemann suggests that everything we know about marriage, and relationships in general, promotes the idea that couples are focusing more and more on their individual and personal betterment and less on their marriage. Commuter spouses, she argues, might be expected to exemplify in an extreme manner that kind of self-prioritization. Yet, as this book details, commuter spouses actually maintain a strong commitment to their marriage. These partners illustrate the stickiness of traditional marriage ideals while simultaneously subverting expectations.

Como de la familia
by Paolo GiordanoDel autor de La soledad de los números primos, una minuciosa e inquietante radiografía de una familia moderna. Como si de un potente haz de luz se tratara, la incisiva prosa de Paolo Giordano ilumina los rincones íntimos de una joven pareja que, convencidos de haber enterrado los viejos tabúes del matrimonio tradicional burgués, ven cómo el espejo de armonía y felicidad que refleja sus vidas se resquebraja con la muerte de la mujer que cuida de su casa y de su hijo, la señora A., que se revelará como el auténtico pilar de un equilibrio mucho más precario de lo que parece. Narrada en primera persona por el protagonista masculino, la historia se acerca a la experiencia del amor por caminos inesperados, despertando interrogantes acerca de la profundidad y la solidez de los lazos amorosos. Así, cuando su existencia se tambalea, Nora y su marido han de enfrentarse al temor de descubrir en lo cotidiano la insinuación del abandono y la soledad. Con asombrosa concisión y desapego, Giordano se detiene en los detalles para desplegar un prodigioso juego de luces y sombras que resalta la cara oculta de los personajes, sus dinámicas, sus miedos, sus endebles creencias. El resultado es una novela pulida, refinada e inquietante en la que Giordano disecciona los misterios del alma humana como el más preciso de los cirujanos. La crítica ha dicho...«Con esta novela Paolo Giordano parece haber alcanzado la plena madurez expresiva. [...] Revela los meandros más recónditos de los afectos familiares que, si se dejan sin expresar, acaban por explotar convertidos en un sordo resentimiento.»La Repubblica «La señora A. es uno de los personajes literarios más hermosos de los últimos años.»Corriere della Sera «Como de la familia es una muestra de escritura impecable que pone de relieve el desarrollo estilístico del autor; el lenguaje se ha vuelto más refinado y la expresividad ha ganado fuerza.»QLibri.it «Giordano alcanza una profundidad psicológica de notable intensidad, sin ceder ni un ápice a lo sentimental [...]. Una novela severa, #invernal#, que abre para su autor un camino mucho más complejo, interesante e inquieto de lo que muchos de sus admiradores de estos años se habrían atrevido a imaginar.»La Stampa «Una historia de amor melancólica, narrada en primera persona con un lenguaje sofisticado e íntimo.»Panorama «Se aprecia una sensibilidad especial, casi científica, para detectar las pequeñas mudanzas de los estados de ánimo, de los sentimientos, del corazón.»Vanity Fair

Compassionate Love in Intimate Relationships: The Integration Process of Sexual Mass Trauma, Racism, and Resilience (Explorations in Mental Health)
by Josiane M. ApollonDrawing on interviews conducted with Black couples in the US, this book explores relational resilience and identifies unique adaptation strategies that enable couples to overcome the multigenerational effects of violence and sexual mass trauma from slavery and activates compassionate love in flourishing relationships. By applying Appreciative Inquiry (AI) methodology and family systems theory, the book captures the spiritual, emotional, and sexual dimensions in black couple systems that gives meaning to their resilient relationships in the context of contemporary America. Within the framework of compassionate love, the book highlights the need for researchers and clinicians to include the broader cultural contexts in their sexual trauma-informed studies and interventions. Using genetic studies and empirical evidence, the volume contributes significantly to discussion around Black relationships and historical trauma, and to the broader challenges within race relations in the United States. This book will benefit researchers, academicians, and clinicians with an interest in sexual trauma, marriage and family therapy, and couples counseling more broadly. Readers will also find this book useful when designing research in Black studies, intergenerational issues, or sexual intimacy.
