  A Narrative of the Captivity and...

  Mary White Rowlandson

  This is the story of Mary Rowlandson’s capture by American Indians in 1675. It is a blunt, frightening, and detailed work with several moments of off-color humor. Mary, the wife of a minister, was captured by Natives during King Philip's War while living in a Lancaster town, most of which was decimated, and the people murdered. See through her eyes, which depict Indians as the instruments of Satan. Her accounts were a best-seller of the era, and a seminal work, being one of the first captivity narratives ever published by a woman. Without works such as hers, there would likely not be many modern works inspired by similar themes, such as The Searchers, starring John Wayne.(Summary by Matthew Scott Surprenant )

  In 1934, at the age of fourteen, Colette Brull-Ulmann knew that she wanted to become a pediatrician. By 1942, Brull-Ulman and her family had become registered Jews under the ever-increasing statutes against them enacted by Petain's government. Her father had been arrested and interned at the Drancy detention camp and Brull-Ulman had become an intern at the Rothschild Hospital. 
   
   
   
  Under Claire Heyman, a charismatic social worker who was a leader of the hospital's secret escape network, Brull-Ulmann began working tirelessly to rescue Jewish children treated at the Rothschild. Ultimately, Brull-Ulmann was forced to flee the Rothschild in 1943, when she joined her father's resistance network, gathering and delivering information for De Gaulle's secret intelligence agency until the Liberation in 1945. 
   
   
   
  In 1970, Brull-Ulmann finally became a licensed pediatrician. It wasn't until decades later when she finally started to speak publicly—not only about her own work and survival, but about the one child who affected her most deeply. Originally published in French in 2017, Brull-Ulmann's memoir fearlessly illustrates the horrors of Jewish life under the German Occupation and casts light on the heretofore unknown story of the Rothschild Hospital during this period.

  Witches, Midwives, and Nurses examines how women-led healing was delegitimized to make way for patriarchy, capitalism, and the emerging medical industry. 
   
   
   
  As we watch another agonizing attempt to shift the future of healthcare in the United States, we are reminded of the longevity of this crisis, and how firmly entrenched we are in a system that doesn't work. 
   
   
   
  First published by the Feminist Press in 1973, Witches, Midwives, and Nurses is an essential book about the corruption of the medical establishment and its historic roots in witch hunters. In this new and updated edition, Barbara Ehrenreich and Deirdre English delve into the current fascination with and controversies about witches, exposing our fears and fantasies. They build on their classic exposé on the demonization of women healers and the political and economic monopolization of medicine. This quick history brings us up-to-date, exploring today's changing attitudes toward childbirth, alternative medicine, and modern-day witches.

  With 38% of Gen Z identifying as ‘spiritual,’ how might we meet this cultural shift and curiosity about the existence of the Soul after death? 
   
  Integrating Spiritual Conversations in Therapy meets the growing need to extend our therapeutic knowledge to include quantum theories of interconnectedness, and neuroscientific studies into relational energies, radiating from the heart when people meet. 
   
  Research shows spirituality plays an important role in mental health and resilience, yet soul and spirit are rarely addressed in counselling education. 
   
  Woven with years of practice wisdom and informed by research, case examples, lived experiences and diverse spiritual descriptions across time, author Kim Billington will help you discover how to approach spiritual conversations with sensitivity, openness and care. 
   
  Integrated with narrative therapy gems and Carl Rogers’ humanistic core qualities of presence and non-judgmental acceptance, principles also foundational to many spiritual traditions, this book shines a light where the clinical and the sacred quietly meet. 
   
  Integrating Spiritual Conversations in Therapy is written for therapists, counsellors, social workers, teachers and those who are curious, tentative or already engaged with spiritual themes in their work.
