No Racial Elephants in the...

PhD Rheeda Walker, PsyD Scott...

Do you avoid asking Black clients certain questions because you're embarrassed about something you think you "should" know about "Black culture" or racism? Are you hesitant to have conversations about race or racism with Black clients because you're afraid you'll look ignorant or unintentionally offend them? Do you believe that if a Black client doesn't mention race-related issues as a presenting concern, then it's not worth bringing up at all? 
 
 
 
The reality is that although many Black clients will not zero in on the impact of racism in their lives, ignoring the issue of race in therapy leaves a very large elephant in the room. And you can't build rapport with elephants in the room. So what do you do? 
 
 
 
In No Racial Elephants in the Therapy Room, Dr. Rheeda Walker provides the answer to this question. With her no-nonsense and unapologetic style, she provides useful language, tips, and guidance that will allow you to: navigate the first session with Black clients who are wary about working with you; feel more comfortable talking about race, racism, and what it means to be Black; avoid common pitfalls and not to-dos when working with Black clients; and much more. Mental health care isn't designed with Black people in mind. If you truly want to meet African American clients where they are, you will have to confront the elephant in the room.

Erotic Adventures of a Victorian...

Dorian Shellan

The masochistic Lady Bridgette Donahue is Doctor Damian Thatch's favorite patient, but since she is a married woman he must contain his passions when with her. Desiring a partner without limitations, Damian frequents Madame Q's nunnery, a high-end London brothel which provides the services of dolly mops for gentlemen with sadistic tastes. A dolly mop is a girl in domestic service, such as a maid or a nanny, who in order to earn a little extra money beyond her regular employment chooses to become a prostitute. Unlike a full time brothel worker who cannot afford to be left in a condition which might render her unable to entertain gentlemen for a few days, a dolly mop can easily keep marks hidden in her regular job and take the time to recover before returning to brothel work.
Yet in spite of the liberties he is able to take with prostitutes, Damian’s arousal and subsequent release with them is never as grand as when he is with the submissive Lady Bridgette. Purchasing pleasures deprives Damian of the authenticity his sadism requires.
But when Damian notices that a new dolly mop is actually Rosie, his own parlor maid, he realizes that he may have found a potential solution to his frustration. When he confronts Rosie she chooses to take the option of being trained to satisfy his desires rather than face immediate termination of employment. Now Damian will turn Rosie into his ideal submissive, subjecting her to bondage, birching, and a variety of sex acts including performing with Lady Bridgette.

Richard Sorge: The Life and...

Editors Charles River

Spies are a feature of countless works of fiction in which they often discover secrets on which the fate of nations hang in the balance. Reality is generally rather more mundane, as spies often gather low-level intelligence that only makes sense when it is examined by analysts and compared to information from other sources. Espionage provides clues to what the enemy is planning, but on its own, it rarely changes the course of a war. Moreover, real spies are generally anonymous, not the bold, swashbuckling action heroes depicted in fiction. Spies must hide in plain sight, and that is best achieved by being as innocuous as possible.
However, there are exceptions. Occasionally, a spy will be so successful that they are able to place themselves in a position where they have access to information at the highest levels, secrets that really can change the course of world events. Sometimes, these spies may even be as handsome, charming, charismatic, and bold as their fictional counterparts.
One such spy was a man named Richard Sorge. Experiencing the horrors of World War I at first-hand turned Sorge into an ardent communist, after which he worked as a spy for the USSR in Germany, China, and Japan before and during World War II. He obtained vital military and political secrets and maintained his cover for over nine years despite frantic searches for the spy who was leaking information to Russia. His effortless charm meant that he didn’t need to steal secrets: people told him willingly, including the many women that he seduced.

Has Populism Won? - The War on...

Daniel Drache, Marc D. Froese

In the shadow of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, two experts show us how and why global populism has taken root and what it will take to turn the tide
		 
From Trumpian America to Putin’s nationalist Russia, and from Poland to the Philippines, rapid change and rising inequality have fueled a retreat into tribalist nationalism fed by a fear of being left behind. Populist leaders reach into this fear, using it as a lever to power with empty promises of looking out for the little person and promising a return to national greatness. This is happening in countries spread across the globe and the political spectrum, arising in the right and the left alike, and recently brought into harsh relief against Putin’s brutal invasion of Ukraine. So why are we so susceptible to this pernicious political style at this moment? How did we get here? And more importantly, will we get back to more even-handed governments?
		 
Filled with original research, political scientists Drache and Froese have written a chilling, compelling analysis of the rise of populism, and reveal what it will take to douse the flames. This is an essential read for anyone concerned about the encroachments on freedom and the rule of law around the world.
