Описание: If you grew up with an emotionally immature, unavailable, or selfish parent, you may have lingering feelings of anger, loneliness, betrayal, or abandonment.

Being an educator is a challenge, to say the least. Being an educator in urban America is even more challenging when you consider issues such as poverty, family dysfunction and violence. All of those things point to the need for socio/emotional needs to be addressed. It is difficult for young people to focus, remain on task, have healthy relationships, and thrive academically without intervention and education in those areas. Dr. Dorsey has spent a considerable amount of time learning and practicing how to appropriately address these challenges that too many times have been ignored and overlooked. Documenting her solutions and making the tools available for other educators is timely.

Fatherhood today is in crisis. Fathers have gone missing, or have become their children's playmates, and the symbolic authority of the father has lost its power. For many, the decline of the traditional pater familias is no bad thing - his time has passed. But what remains of the father today in the wake of this decline, and what should the relation between children and parents now be? In addressing these questions, psychoanalyst and bestselling author Massimo Recalcati draws inspiration from the story of Telemachus in Homer's Odyssey. The Telemachus complex is the reverse of the Oedipus complex. Recalcati argues that children are possessed not just with a desire to annihilate their father, as their key rival in the contest to win the mother's love, but also with a longing for a father-figure, as someone who brings meaning, structure and order to their lives and who imbues them with a sense of the future. But this desire on the part of children needs to be reconfigured so that it can find solace in the longing, hope in the anticipation, and relief in the expectation. Whether the father arrives is less important than the children's own journey of belief in a stable future. This fresh and insightful account of the changing relations between parents and children in the era of the decline of the father will be of great interest to a wide general readership, as well as to students and scholars of gender studies, psychoanalysis, psychology and sociology.
Winner of the 2014 Outstanding Book Award presented by the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences Over 2% of U.S.children under the age of 18—more than 1,700,000 children—have a parent in prison. These children experience very real disadvantages when compared to their peers: they tend to experience lower levels of educational success, social exclusion, and even a higher likelihood of their own future incarceration. Meanwhile, their new caregivers have to adjust to their new responsibilities as their lives change overnight, and the incarcerated parents are cut off from their children’s development.
Parental Incarceration and the Family brings a family perspective to our understanding of what it means to have so many of our nation’s parents in prison. Drawing from the field’s most recent research and the author’s own fieldwork, Joyce Arditti offers an in-depth look at how incarceration affects entire families: offender parents, children, and care-givers. Through the use of exemplars, anecdotes, and reflections, Joyce Arditti puts a human face on the mass of humanity behind bars, as well as those family members who are affected by a parent’s imprisonment. In focusing on offenders as parents, a radically different social policy agenda emerges—one that calls for real reform and that responds to the collective vulnerabilities of the incarcerated and their kin.
Описание: This timely and accessible book brings together a selection of chapters offering insights into issues around families, children and parents and the Covid-19 pandemic. Including a specially written introduction contextualising the chapters in relation to the crisis. The book is fascinating reading for professionals, students, and academics.
