Working with fathers in psychoanalytic parent-infant psychotherapy
This title interfaces theoretical ideas about fatherhood and their incorporation into the clinical practice of psychoanalytic parent-infant psychotherapy. Often, when a family attends parent-infant psychotherapy, issues of the father are eclipsed by attention to the mother, who is usually the identified patient. Until now relatively neglected in the literature, this book attends to both the barriers to psychological work with the father, and to ways in which he can be engaged in a therapeutic process. In this book, Tessa Baradon brings together some of the most eminent clinicians and academics in the field of parent-infant psychotherapy, in a layered collection of theoretical and clinical contributions.

Zum Verbot der Eizellspende: medizinische und ethische Überlegungen
Die Eizellspende ist nach deutschem Recht verboten. Etwa 3–4 % aller Frauen vor dem 40. Lebensjahr haben aufgrund ihres Eizellmangels keine Möglichkeit mehr, mit eigenen Eizellen schwanger zu werden. Medizinische Indikationen sind genetische Prädispositionen (z. B. Turner-Syndrom), Frauen ohne Ovarien oder mit Voroperationen an den Eierstöcken, wie z. B. bei Endometriose III. Grades. Die Geburtenraten sind nach internationalen Daten relativ hoch (32–56 %). Der Verlauf der Schwangerschaft weist vermehrt schwangerschaftsinduzierten Hypertonus und Präeklampsie auf, worüber die Frauen, die mit Eizellspende schwanger werden wollen, auch aufgeklärt werden sollten. In psychologischer Hinsicht sind die Mutter‑/Vater-Kind-Beziehung und die Entwicklung der Kinder als normal zu bezeichnen. Ein besonderer Schutz gilt der Eizellspenderin, da sie keinen eigenen Vorteil von der Behandlung hat. Medizinisch ist eine schonende Behandlung möglich durch moderne Formen der Stimulationsverfahren (Ovulationsinduktion mit GnRH[„gonadotropin releasing hormone“]-Agonisten). Der Schutz der Spenderin kann durch nationale Regulierungen wie in Großbritannien gewährleistet werden. Im Beratungsprozess erscheint wesentlich, dass der Arzt in Deutschland nicht aktiver Teil der Behandlung sein darf. Er sollte die Frauen über mögliche Alternativen (Verzicht auf das Kind/Adoption/etc.) aufklären. In vielen Ländern ist nur eine anonyme Eizellspende möglich, bei der das Kind später nicht die genetische Herkunft erfahren kann.

Correspondence : 1904-1938
The correspondence ranges over personal and family matters - social events, family holidays, births and deaths, health issues, war experiences, etc. - as well as professional matters, including the progress of Sigmund Freud's and Anna Freud's scientific works, their views on students and colleagues, and the international dissemination and publication of psychoanalytical writings. The letters provide valuable insight into the work and family life of the founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, including the changes in his perception of women that were triggered by his relation with his daughter. They also shed fresh light on the development of Anna's life and career - the early years in England, the period of her analysis with her own father and the last phase of her father's illness and death, when Anna became the torch-bearer and protector of her father's works, and eventually became the leading figure in the International Psychoanalytic Association. Richly annotated with editorial comments, this unique volume of correspondence between Sigmund and Anna Freud is an invaluable source of historical documentation about the formation and development of psychoanalysis and the early decades of the psychoanalytic movement. -- Provided by publisher.

The madness of crowds
\"You're a coward.\" Time and again, as the New Year approaches, that charge is leveled against Armand Gamache. While the residents of the Quebec village of Three Pines take advantage of the deep snow to ski and toboggan, to drink hot chocolate in the bistro and share meals together, the Chief Inspector finds his holiday with his family interrupted by a simple request. He's asked to provide security for what promises to be a non-event. A visiting Professor of Statistics will be giving a lecture at the nearby university. While he is perplexed as to why the head of homicide for the Sûreté du Québec would be assigned this task, it sounds easy enough. That is until Gamache starts looking into Professor Abigail Robinson and discovers an agenda so repulsive he begs the university to cancel the lecture. They refuse, citing academic freedom, and accuse Gamache of censorship and intellectual cowardice. Before long, Professor Robinson's views start seeping into conversations. Spreading and infecting. So that truth and fact, reality and delusion are so confused it's nearly impossible to tell them apart. Discussions become debates, debates become arguments, which turn into fights. As sides are declared, a madness takes hold. Abigail Robinson promises that, if they follow her, ça va bien aller, all will be well. But not, Gamache and his team know, for everyone. When a murder is committed, it falls to Armand Gamache, his second-in-command Jean-Guy Beauvoir, and their team to investigate the crime as well as this extraordinary popular delusion. And the madness of crowds. Provided by publisher

The words we share
\"A young girl helps her dad navigate life in a new country where she understands the language more than he does, in an unforgettable story about communication and community. Angie is used to helping her dad. Ever since they moved to Canada, he relies on her to translate for him from English to Chinese.

Building off her success with her dad's signs, Angie offers her translation skills to others in their community. She's thrilled when her new business takes off, until one of her clients says he's unhappy with her work. When her dad offers to help, she can't imagine how he could. Working together, they find a surprising solution, fixing the problem in a way Angie never would have predicted. A gorgeously illustrated picture book from up-and-coming author-illustrator Jack Wong (When You Can Swim, Scholastic) that is at once a much-needed exploration of the unique pressures children of immigrants often face, a meditation on the dignity of all people regardless of their differences, and a reminder of the power of empathy.\"-- Provided by publisher.

Possible Selves and Prenatal Father Involvement
Research increasingly indicates that father involvement during pregnancy influences outcomes for mothers, fathers, and children. However, little is known about what factors are associated with prenatal involvement. Here, the idea of fathers' possible selves was used to guide an investigation of the importance fathers assign to becoming a parent and mothers' expectations of father competence, and their individual and interactive associations with father reports of prenatal involvement. Neither variable was associated with prenatal involvement individually, but the interaction term was significant. When mothers viewed fathers as competent parents, fathers were uniformly highly involved. However, when mothers reported low levels of perceived father competence, then the level of prenatal involvement was significantly associated with fathering importance. Findings are discussed in terms of the need for dyadic research as well as their implications for interventions. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
Journal Article
Generative fathering : beyond deficit perspectives
Much contemporary scholarship on fathers comes from a deficit model, focusing on men′s inadequacies as parents. This volume goes beyond a deficit model of fatherhood to what the editors term a `generative fathering perspective′. This approach sees the work fathers do for their children in terms of caring for and contributing to the life of the next generation. Following a description of generative fathering, placing it in contrast to the role-inadequacy perspective of fatherhood, the contributors elaborate on generative fathering in terms of gender, ethnicity and historical perspectives. They present research that helps readers to understand generative fathering in challenging life circumstances, such as special-needs child.
