Skin Game
by Caroline Kettlewell"There was a very fine, an elegant pain, hardly a pain at all, like the swift and fleeting burn of a drop of hot candle wax . . .

I had distilled myself to the immediacy of hand, blade, blood, flesh." <P><P> There are an estimated two to three million "cutters" in America, but experts warn that, as with anorexia, this could be just the tip of the iceberg of those affected by this little-known disorder. Cutting has only just begun to enter public consciousness as a dangerous affliction that tends to take hold of adolescent girls and can last, hidden and untreated, well into adulthood. <P><P>Caroline Kettlewell is an intelligent woman with a promising career and a family.

Skin in Psychoanalysis
by Jorge UlnikSkin in Psychoanalysis is an important theoretical contribution, revising several authors starting with Freud in whose writing we can now discover multiple direct or indirect references to the skin. It adopts a decidedly complex point of view regarding the skin here: the skin as source, the skin as object, the skin as protection and as a way of entrance, as contact and as contagion, the skin 'for two' within the relationship with the mother, the skin as envelope and as support, as a shell presented as 'second skin', as demarcation of individuality, as a place of inscription of non-verbal memories, toxic envelops and so on. Also, being the result of more than fifteen years of work with dermatologists and patients with skin diseases, psoriasis in particular, the book can be seen as a serious proposal for interdisciplinary work between dermatologists and psychoanalysts.'The hospital is a place where both tragedies and miracles occur, where many people go to heal but many others go in search for punishment.

Slaaptraining voor jongeren op basis van CGT en motiverende gespreksvoering: Mijn Slaap Plan (Kind en adolescent praktijkreeks)
by Marije Kuin Bianca BoyerIn dit boek wordt het protocol Slaaptraining voor jongeren uitgelegd. Het protocol is gebaseerd op cognitieve gedragstherapie (CGT) en motiverende gespreksvoering. Het boek is bedoeld voor hulpverleners die jongeren (12-19 jaar) behandelen met slaapproblemen, ook als er daarnaast sprake is van andere psychische problematiek. Slaapproblemen hebben invloed op het dagelijkse functioneren en kunnen psychische problemen veroorzaken of verergeren. Daarnaast kunnen slaapproblemen een belemmering zijn voor de behandeling en het herstel van andere psychische problemen. In Slaaptraining voor jongeren op basis van CGT en motiverende gespreksvoering geven de auteurs aan dat veel jongeren graag beter zouden willen slapen, maar het toch moeilijk vinden om hun slaapgedrag aan te passen. Daarom is motiverende gespreksvoering een belangrijk onderdeel van het protocol; om hun motivatie voor verandering te onderzoeken en - waar mogelijk - te vergroten. Jongeren kunnen tijdens de behandeling samen met hun hulpverlener aan de slag met het bijbehorende werkboek Mijn Slaap Plan.Slaaptraining voor jongeren op basis van CGT en motiverende gespreksvoering is geschreven door Marije Kuin en Bianca Boyer. Marije is GZ-psycholoog en cognitief gedragstherapeut bij Psychologenpraktijk Kuin, Bianca is GZ-psycholoog en cognitief gedragstherapeut bij Psychologenpraktijk Kuin en docent/onderzoeker bij de Universiteit van Amsterdam.
Slam School: Learning Through Conflict in the Hip-hop and Spoken Word Classroom
by Bronwen E. LowIn this study, Low (education, McGill U. , Canada) relates how a white teacher implemented the study of hip-hop and spoken word culture into urban high school language arts classes, which she co-taught and helped develop the curriculum for. She analyzes the dynamics of teaching and learning in these classes to argue that the reasons that teachers and administrators resist introducing hip-hop into curriculum--its complex issues of gender, violence, sexuality, materialism, race, and language--are what make it important pedagogically. She focuses on African American youth in interaction with white youth, teachers, and administrators, describing the student's exploration of poetry performance and writing and their experiences with the language of the hip-hop culture.
