A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A bold, urgent appeal from the acclaimed columnist and political commentator, addressing one of the most important issues of our time“At this painful moment, Peter Beinart’s voice is more vital than ever. His reach is broad—from the tragedy of today’s Middle East to the South Africa he knows well to events centuries ago—his scholarship is deep, and his heart is big. This book is not just about being Jewish in the shadow of today’s war, but about being a person who cares for justice.” —Adam Hochschild, author of American Midnight and King Leopold’s GhostIn Peter Beinart’s view, one story dominates Jewish communal life: that of persecution and victimhood. It is a story that erases much of the nuance of Jewish religious tradition and warps our understanding of Israel and Palestine. After Gaza, where Jewish texts, history, and language have been deployed to justify mass slaughter and starvation, Beinart argues, Jews must tell a ne

A Practical Approach to Trauma: Empowering Interventions helps clinicians develop effective therapeutic skills and provides guidelines for delivering trauma-focused and empowering interventions. Taking a practitioner's perspective, Priscilla Dass-Brailsford focuses on practical application to increase clinical understanding of extreme stress and violence. The psychological and behavioral consequences of trauma are viewed as expressions of pain and efforts to cope with unacceptable environmental demands and stressors. Responses to traumatic experiences are not necessarily viewed as pathological but instead grounded in cultural systems of meaning-making. Dass-Brailsford discusses how the practitioner's responsibility is to locate and utilize the strength and resilience inherent within individuals, families, and communities impacted by trauma to empower them toward healing and recovery. The author's practical, skill-building approach is taken from her many years of working in the trauma f

The field of forensic psychology has traditionally been associated largely with forensic mental health evaluations prepared for consideration by courts and other entities, and far less attention has been paid to the development and dissemination of services and interventions that may be informed by such assessments. As a result, the majority of practitioners do not know how to go about pursuing such professional opportunities. Responding to this need for more community-based services for justice-involved individuals and the lack of coordination, The Path Forward presents a detailed survey of different focus areas of professional forensic practice within community settings. These projects and psychological services are creative, expand boundaries, and offer a roadmap and a vision for the future of these areas as well as broadening awareness of what these services and projects are actually providing.

When Kiss Me, Kate premiered in its first try-out performance, its future was anything but certain. Conceived and staged in just nine months of intense, sometimes chaotic collaboration, the show was a bold experiment: a backstage musical built around a Shakespearean comedy. But once the reviews rolled in, all doubts vanished. The production was a triumph, becoming the most successful stage work of both Cole Porter and the writing duo Sam and Bella Spewack. Yet Kiss Me, Kate has never been without controversy. At its heart, the show is a backstage comedy built around a play-within-a-play adaptation of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. That choice has long invited scrutiny. From its earliest performances to its most recent revivals, Kiss Me, Kate has sparked discussion about adaptation, gender politics, and the evolving tastes of audiences. From its 1948 debut to its 75th anniversary revival, the musical has been both celebrated and critiqued, reflecting shifting cultural attitudes

Practice-based evidence refers to research findings derived from clinical routine. As a complementary paradigm to randomized clinical trials, this evidence is collected through practice-oriented research with the goals of describing how mental health services are utilized and implemented, understanding how these services work or fail to work, and providing ways to improve practice. In contrast to traditional trials, practice-oriented research does not impose researcher-driven restrictions or prescriptions to clinical practice, which, for many practitioners, make research irrelevant to their work. By investigating psychological therapies as they are actually conducted in naturalistic settings, practice-oriented research stands as a strategy to foster a seamless integration between science and practice. In Practice-Based Evidence in the Psychological Therapies, practice-oriented researchers from different parts of the world and across a variety of clinical settings describe what led them
