Sinossi

In "Mentally Defective Children," the anthology traverses the complex and nuanced landscape of cognitive impairments in children, as observed and recorded in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This pioneering collection captures a transformative era in psychological and educational theory, embodying the breadth and diversity of approaches to understanding and supporting mentally defective children. The anthology's works range from case studies to theoretical discourses, collectively underscoring a profound empathy and a burgeoning scientific curiosity, while also sensitively navigating the socio-cultural narratives of the time. The anthology is edited and anchored by the groundbreaking insights of Alfred Binet and Théodore Simon, whose pioneering work in developing intelligence testing laid the foundation for modern psychology. These scholars brought together a constellation of contributions from early psychologists and educators who were committed to redefining educational paradigms and advocating for more individualized approaches to learning. Their collective expertise and historical positioning offer a layered exploration of themes surrounding mental deficiency, education reform, and societal attitudes, illustrating the evolution of thought from stigmatization towards understanding and integration. "Mentally Defective Children" is an invaluable resource for readers seeking a comprehensive exploration of early psychological and educational reform. It offers a unique opportunity to engage with critical debates and varied perspectives that have shaped current practices in cognitive and developmental psychology. Readers will benefit not only from the historical insights provided but also from the anthology's invitation to contemplate the ongoing dialogue in child psychology and education, making it an essential addition to the library of any scholar or practitioner in these fields.

A Clinician's Guide to...

PsyD Amy Marschall

How can I best support the needs of my neurodivergent clients in therapy? With so much information, and so many different perspectives, it can be difficult to know where to start. Further, the mental health field has only recently begun moving away from "treating autism" to working with autistic and neurodivergent individuals in a more affirming way. That's why Dr. Amy Marschall created A Clinician's Guide to Supporting Autistic Clients. As an expert psychologist and a member of the autism community herself, she recognized the need to move away from treatments that pathologize differences and toward a neurodiversity-affirming approach that meets clients where they are. Inside, you'll find over 100 affirming tips, tools, and interventions that will allow you to: 
 
 
 
● Honor the language preferences, goals, and priorities of the autistic community 
 
 
 
● Create a foundation for assessment and treatment that best supports autistic clients 
 
 
 
● Correct unintentional harms cause by historical "best practices" in autism treatment 
 
 
 
Neurodiversity-affirming care is not a set of specific behaviors or interventions but an underlying philosophy of honoring each client's needs every day.

Nazis after Hitler - How...

Donald M McKale

The stories of thirty war criminals who escaped accountability, from a historian praised for his “well written, scrupulously researched” work (The New York Times).   This deeply researched book traces the biographies of thirty “typical” perpetrators of the Holocaust—some well-known, some obscure—who survived World War II. Donald M. McKale reveals the shocking reality that the perpetrators were rarely, if ever, tried or punished for their crimes, and nearly all alleged their innocence in Germany’s extermination of nearly six million European Jews. He highlights the bitter contrasts between the comfortable postwar lives of many war criminals and the enduring suffering of their victims, and how, in the face of exhaustive evidence showing their culpability, nearly all claimed ignorance of what was going on—and insisted they had done nothing wrong.   “McKale ends the book with a haunting question: whether life would be different today if the Allies had pursued Holocaust criminals more aggressively after WWII. History buffs and students of the Holocaust will be fascinated.” ―Publishers Weekly   “Gripping and important reading.” —Eric A. Johnson, author of What We Knew

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"8th Confession," by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro, plunges readers into the heart of San Francisco as a series of mysterious deaths among the city's elite shakes the community. The Women's Murder Club, led by Detective Lindsay Boxer, races against time to uncover the truth behind these seemingly unconnected deaths. The investigation leads them deep into a world of wealth, power, and hidden secrets, where danger lurks beneath a veneer of respectability. Cindy Thomas, a reporter and member of the club, becomes fixated on the murder of a homeless man known as Bagman Jesus, a case the police have deemed unsolvable. Her relentless pursuit of the truth intertwines with the club's main investigation as a disturbing pattern emerges, linking the present-day murders to a series of unsolved cases from 1982. As the body count rises and the pressure mounts, the Women's Murder Club faces a race against time to unmask a killer who operates with chilling precision and seems to be always one step ahead.
