  Reflecting on the career of a prominent poet, this biography focuses on Canadian wordsmith Barrie Nichol — more commonly known by his pen name, bpNichol — who was a practicing lay psychoanalyst and vice president of one the largest and long-lasting North American communes for more than a decade. Recognizing his international influence as both a visual and sound poet, Nichol's literary achievements are reviewed, including The Martyrology, a renowned, seven-volume poem, four novels, two musical comedies, six children's books, hundreds of hand-drawn visual poems, and even 10 episodes of Jim Henson's hit television series Fraggle Rock. Penned by one of Nichol's numerous literary collaborators, this account reveals the close connections among the writer's various activities, particularly how the autobiographical inquiries and Freudian dream theory linked with the young poet's biographical self-awareness. The book demonstrates how the Subject's main psychoanalytic client was his own writing, following Nichol as he explored its slips, accidental puns, and unintended meanings and implications for the communal future of the human species, both in high literature and comical prime time television.

  Victimization - The Process of...

  Victimization is a complex and multifaceted process that occurs when an individual or group is subjected to harm, oppression, or injustice. It is not merely the result of a singular event but often an ongoing experience shaped by societal structures, personal relationships, and systemic forces. Understanding victimization requires examining both the immediate and long-term effects on those who suffer, as well as the roles played by perpetrators, bystanders, and institutions that enable or prevent such harm. 
  At its core, victimization involves the exercise of power and control, where one party imposes harm—whether physical, psychological, emotional, or financial—upon another. This harm can be intentional, as in cases of abuse, assault, or discrimination, or unintentional, where systems and structures create disadvantages that lead to victimhood. The process of victimization is not always overt; it can be subtle, embedded within social norms, policies, and expectations that gradually erode a person’s autonomy, dignity, and sense of self-worth. 
  One of the key challenges in defining victimization lies in the perception of victims themselves. Some individuals openly recognize and acknowledge their victim status, while others may resist the label due to fear, shame, or social stigma. Society often imposes expectations on victims—either portraying them as weak and helpless or, conversely, blaming them for their circumstances. This duality can make it difficult for individuals to seek support or justice, reinforcing cycles of suffering and silence.

  Social Class and Mobility -...

  Social class and mobility are central concepts in understanding how societies function and evolve. The classification of individuals into different social classes based on income, occupation, education, and wealth shapes life experiences, opportunities, and access to resources. At the same time, social mobility—the ability of individuals or groups to move within a social hierarchy—determines whether societies remain rigidly stratified or allow for upward and downward movement. These dynamics influence economic stability, political structures, and cultural identities, making the study of social class and mobility essential for comprehending broader social patterns. 
  Social class is typically divided into broad categories such as the upper class, middle class, working class, and lower class. Each class has distinct characteristics that define access to wealth, education, job opportunities, and social networks. For example, the upper class often benefits from inherited wealth and exclusive professional opportunities, while the working and lower classes may experience financial instability and limited career advancement. These disparities create divisions that influence daily life, from the quality of healthcare received to the neighborhoods people can afford to live in. 
  Social mobility refers to changes in an individual’s or family’s social position over time. Mobility can be upward, where individuals improve their socioeconomic status, or downward, where they experience a decline. It can also be intergenerational, occurring across multiple generations, or intragenerational, happening within an individual’s lifetime. Various factors influence mobility, including education, economic conditions, public policies, and structural barriers such as discrimination or unequal access to opportunities.

  Every adoption is rooted in loss. 
   
   
   
  Adoption is often framed by happy narratives, but the reality is that many adoptees struggle with unaddressed trauma and issues of identity and belonging. Adoptees often spend the majority of their youth without the language to explore the grief related to adoption or the permission to legitimize their conflicting emotions. 
   
   
   
  Adoptee and counselor Cameron Lee Small names the realities of the adoptee's journey, narrating his own and other adoptees' stories in all their complexity. He unpacks the history of how adoption has worked and names how the church influenced adoption practices with unintended negative impacts on adoptees' faith. Small's own tumultuous search for and reunion with his mother in Korea inspired him to help other adoptees navigate what it means to carry multiple stories. His adoptee-centered advocacy helps adoptees regain their agency and identity on a journey of integration and healing, with meaningful relationships in all their family systems.
