A powerful and heart-stopping young adult novel from a master storyteller. This is Steven Herrick at his best. 'There are worse things than school.' Luke sleepwalks through his days wagging school, swimming at the reservoir and eating takeaway pizza. That is until Charlotte shows up. Rumour is she got expelled from her city school and her family moved to the Blue Mountains for a fresh start. But when Luke's invited to her house, he discovers there's a lot more going on than meets the eye.

A suspenseful and gripping psychological thriller, Lynne Ramsay’s WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN explores the fractious relationship between a mother and her evil son. Tilda Swinton, in a bracing, tour-de-force performance, plays the mother, Eva, as she contends for years with the increasing malevolence of her first-born child, Kevin (Ezra Miller). Based on the best-selling novel of the same name, WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN explores nature vs. nurture on a whole new level as Eva's own culpability is measured against Kevin's innate evilness. Ramsay's masterful storytelling simultaneously combines a provocative moral ambiguity with a satisfying and compelling narrative, which builds to a chilling, unforgettable climax.

The article provides an interpretation of “Courtroom Dramas,” a short story from J. J. Steinfeld’s fiction collection Would You Hide Me? (Gaspereau, 2003). First, the paper examines Steinfeld’s articulation of traumatic loss, and interprets the trial in “Courtroom Dramas” as a means for a grandson to mourn his deceased grandmother and (through memory of her) others unknown to him in the Holocaust. Here the fictional account of loss interacts productively with various theoretical models prevalent in the field of trauma studies. Second, historical justice issues embedded in this Holocaust story are revealed. Steinfeld’s fiction is situated, finally, within a body of auto-ethnographic writing on the Nazi genocide, work foregrounding trans-generational memory. Cet article offre une interprétation de Courtroom Dramas, une nouvelle du recueil de J. J. Steinfield, Would You Hire Me? (Me cacheriez-vous ?) (Gaspereau, 2003). Il porte d’abord sur la manière dont Steinfeld exprime une perte dramatique et présente une interprétation du procès dans Courtroom Dramas comme un moyen pour le petit-fils de faire le deuil sa grand-mère décédée et (en se souvenant d’elle) de celui d’autres victimes de l’holocauste qu’il n’a pas connues. Une interaction productive se fait ici jour entre l’exposé de la perte dans une œuvre de fiction et divers modèles théoriques prévalant dans le domaine des études de traumatismes. En second lieu, l’article révèle des questions de justice historique enchâssées dans cette histoire de l’holo-causte. Enfin, il situe la nouvelle de Steinfeld dans l’ensemble des écrits auto-ethnographiques sur le génocide nazi, un travail qui met en avant la mémoire transgénérationnelle.

By 1957, Fredric Wertham’s critique of comic books was well enough known that he was the specific target ofMad, a legendary American satire magazine. In his office, Wertham kept a framed copy of a mock article, “Baseball Is Ruining Our Children,” that appeared under the byline Frederick Werthless, M.D. (“Baseball” 1957). Alongside a dozen Wally Wood illustrations depicting leering, aggressive baseball players, the text of the article ridiculed psychological and monocausationist beliefs regarding juvenile delinquency by exaggerating the rhetoric of traditional critics of mass culture: For many years, I worked closely with “juvenile delinquents.” Then my hair turned gray,

Compelled by the soaring numbers of parents in prison in the U.S., the Pittsburgh Child Guidance Foundation, whose mission is to improve the mental health of children from birth through age 12, decided in 2002 to focus its resources on children left behind when parents are arrested and incarcerated. Five major \"themes\" emerged from the data the foundation collected, which it published in March 2005: 1 Everywhere in the criminal justice and child welfare systems, as well as in the general community, children of prisoners are invisible and their voices seldom heard; 2 Their invisibility is possible because more than 90 percent of the children are folded into their extended families, with little or no concern or support for the families; 3 Adults fear telling children the truth about their parents, so children struggle with fiction and half-truths; 4 Children grieve the loss of the parent they had as well as the parent they never had but for whom they yearn.
