Endangered Children: Neonaticide, Infanticide, and Filicide (Pacific Institute Series on Forensic Psychology)

(People are horrified when parents kill their children, ye...)

People are horrified when parents kill their children, yet this act occurs daily on a global basis. Endangered Children: Neonaticide, Infanticide and Filicide provides a psychological, sociological, and criminological perspective of these acts, as the authors answer the many questions that arise from these crimes. With an emphasis on neonaticide in terms of motives, alternatives, defenses offered, and penalties imposed, this book will be of interest to everyone from social workers to attorneys. A secondary area of focus is infanticide and filicide, again with attention paid to motives, defenses, and legal outcomes. Particular attention is paid to psychological/psychiatric defenses that have been offered and their impact as reported in law review articles and elsewhere. Despite universal reprobation, neonaticide and infanticide have been practiced on every continent and by people on every level of intellectual complexity. This text will examine the mothers of the victims in terms of background and motives along with the role, if any, that mental illness plays in the death of their children. What sets the stage for a parent of a newborn to abandon it to an almost certain death? What motives underlie such an act? Do the attitudes and laws regarding abortion have any relation to neonaticide? These questions, as well as many others will be answered in societal, religious and legal terms. Professionals and the lay public alike need to understand why these incidents occur and what actions can be undertaken to reduce them in the future.

Painful Partings: Divorce and Its Aftermath

(Acclaim for Painful Partings ..."A rare triple threat boo...)

Acclaim for Painful Partings ..."A rare triple threat book--for professionals, students, and laypersons. Sensitive--wise--comprehensive, Schwartz and Kaslow's work represents a maturing of a realistic stance toward divorce." --William C. Nichols, EdD, ABPP Atlanta, Georgia "This articulate, compassionate, and informed book is essential reading for all therapists who work with divorced or divorcing families. Scholarly, yet readable, its developmental framework gives coherence to an often confusing area of practice." --Augustus Y. Napier, PhD Director, The Family Workshop, Atlanta, Georgia "Painful Partings masters both the legal and mental health issues of divorce." --Judge Joseph L. Steinberg Superior Court, State of Connecticut, Regional Family Trial Docket "Obtaining a legal divorce may seem fairly straightforward. Emotional divorce, on the other hand, is a much more complicated process. In this book, the reader is taken step by painful step into the process of helping couples become emotionally divorced." --Luciano L'Abate, PhDProfessor Emeritus, Georgia State University "This book achieves a remarkable result in explaining sophisticated family-system concepts ...into practical clinical suggestions. " --Barry Bricklin, PhD Wayne, Pennsylvania. "This book is a must for professionals, but is also important for those who are contemplating or in the process of divorcing." --Hon. Walter M. Schackman, JSC Supreme Court of the State of New York "Must reading for clinicians and professionals working with and teaching about divorce and for those going through the process." --Clifford J. Sager, MD Director of Marital and Family Services, Payne Whitney Clinic "The journey toward divorce seems analogous to a prolonged roller coaster ride--at the beginning, climbing up and out is laborious and slow, followed by brief periods of respite and relief at the apex, and then a rapid descent into what may seem like a bottomless pit of pain and despair. As the months pass by, the ride becomes less turbulent as the highs and lows become less extreme, and ultimately, the travelers alight from the tempestuous ride, and establish a stable postdivorce existence." --from the Preface For those who have made the difficult decision to end their marriage, emotional divorce can be as difficult to achieve as legal divorce. This timely and compassionate book shows couples, their families, and their therapists how best to navigate the bumpy terrain of the road to divorce. In their 1987 classic, The Dynamics of Divorce, family-systems experts Lita Linzer Schwartz and Florence W. Kaslow offered a provocative analysis of how life-cycle stages impact the decision to divorce, and how divorce affects individual development. In this groundbreaking new volume, the authors look at changing life-cycle trends in divorce and explore a host of new economic, cultural, and social issues confronting a highly mobile generation of divorced spouses and parents. The book covers emerging alternatives to litigation--like mediation, and looks at sensitive legal matters, such as physical and emotional abuse and child custody. It also examines timely issues like fathers' rights, mid-life divorce, and what happens when one partner exits a marriage in order to lead a homosexual lifestyle. Painful Partings shows marriage and family therapists how to help clients marshal their energies toward constructive closure, rather than destructive resolution. For example, there is a full chapter on the religious aspects of divorce, including conducting a Ritual of Release--a departure ceremony paralleling the original marriage. Essential reading for therapists who work with divorced and divorcing families, the book is also a compassionate guide for spouses and parents negotiating the painful process of divorce.

When Adoptions Go Wrong: Psychological and Legal Issues of Adoption Disruption (Marriage and Family Therapy)

When adoptions fail to happen, the effects can be devastating on children and the families who chose to adopt them What if you were an adopted child and someone tried to remove you from the family you had grown to love? In the last twenty years, changes in laws, judicial decisions, social welfare practices, and the availability of American children for adoption have led to an increase in disrupted adoptions. When Adoptions Go Wrong: Psychological and Legal Issues of Adoption Disruption examines the psychological and forensic aspects of adoption with an emphasis on how negative events can affect children and the families that choose to adopt them—and how you can prevent those events from happening. When Adoptions Go Wrong is a comprehensive resource on the causes of interrupted adoptions, including changing profiles of adoptive parents who have new reasons for wanting to adopt. With the help of detailed case examples, this powerful book explores the impact of disruptions on the children, the legal issues of determining in whose “best interests” decisions are made, and possible methods of reducing the negative affects of those decisions on the children. It also stresses how important it is, for the professionals involved, to be aware of child development in the adoption process. Topics discussed in When Adoptions Go Wrong include: • children’s rights • legal rights of gays to adopt • tribal rights (Native Americans) • open adoption • individual state laws concerning adoption • the media’s coverage of child custody cases • types of adoption • the “Baby Jessica” case • the Evan Scott case • the “Internet Twins” • inadequate social services • family court • and much more When Adoptions Go Wrong also suggests legislative measures to create uniformity in the way states handle adoption issues to help natural and adoptive parents in making difficult decisions. The book is invaluable for psychologists, judges and lawyers, social workers, and prospective adoptive parents.
