On Understanding Intervention in Psychology and Education
Intervention is an intriguing and at times troublesome phenomenon. This book is meant for those already intrigued and those one hopes will become intrigued. The purpose is to sketch out fundamental problems that must be addressed in pursuing effective intervention. While the authors approach these problems from the perspective of psychology and education, they do so with an eclectic outlook and an emphasis on broad applications.Specifically, they identify and describe essential facets of intentional intervention, explore how these facets relate to each other, and try to produce an outline picture of the whole. The presentation is structured around the view that intervention theory and practice must address four inextricably interrelated and fundamental topics: (1) the classification problem (i.e., differentiating phenomena--conceptually and methodologically--into relevant subgroups for purposes of planning, implementing, and evaluating intervention), (2) the underlying rationale problem (i.e., assumptions shaping intervention aims and means), (3) the planning and implementation problem (i.e., processes for optimizing intervention), and (4) the evaluation problem (i.e., describing, judging, and advancing intervention knowledge and practice). Each of these is discussed in sufficient detail to facilitate development of an agenda for improving practice through theory building, program development, and research.

Devil's Mousetrap
The Devil's Mousetrap approaches the thought of three colonial New England divines—Increase Mather, Jonathan Edwards, and Edward Taylor—from the perspective of literary theory. Author Linda Munk focuses on the background of these men's ideas and on the sources from which they drew, both directly and indirectly, in framing their theology. She notes that the language used in the pulpit by Mather, Edwards, and Taylor is full of allusions to the Bible andApocrypha, to Puritan treatises, and to post-biblical exegesis, Jewish and Christian. Munk proceeds to elucidate many allusions that have, for the most part, proved to be unclear to contemporary readers, in order to provide essential insights into the construction of Puritan theology.

Beyond the Smile: The Therapeutic Use of the Photograph
Photographs may be used as an adjunct to many kinds of therapy; in her own practice Linda Berman found that patients often brought photographs of their own accord. This encouraged her to think about what lay behind the photographs in the family album, and how they could best be used to help her patients. This book is an exploration of the meanings of photographs and an examination of the ways in which photographs can enhance the effectiveness of a psychotherapy session. The author focuses on the relationship between the photograph and the self, and stresses the need for the therapist to understand his or her own personal images before approaching those of others. Individual case studies, with appropriate illustrations, show how photographs can highlight the themes within the patient's internal and external worlds. They stimulate new awareness of interactional patterns and illuminate, in a very personal way, how the past influences the present.

Telling Women's Lives
Placing herself in the avid reader’s chair, Linda Wagner-Martin writes about women’s biography from George Eliot and Virginia Woolf to Eleanor Roosevelt and Margaret Mead, and even to Cher and Elizabeth Taylor. Along the way, she looks at dozens of other life stories, probing at the differences between biographies of men and women, prevailing stereotypes about women’s lives and roles, questions about what is public and private, and the hazy margins between autobiography, biography, and other genres. In quick paced and wide-ranging discussions, she looks at issues of authorial stance (who controls the narrative? who chooses which story to tell?), voice (is this story told in the traditional objective tone? and if it is, what effect does that telling have on our reading?), and the politics of publishing (why aren’t more books about women’s lives published? and when they are, what happens to their advertising budgets?). She discusses the problems of writing biography of achieving women who were also wives (how does the biographer balance the two?), of daughters who attempt to write about their mothers, and of husbands trying to portray their wives.Telling Women’s Lives is the first overview of the writing and the history of biographies about women. It is a significant contribution to the reassessment of the work of the hundreds of women writers who have made a difference in our conception of what women’s stories--and women’s lives--have been, and are becoming. The book is a must read for anyone who loves reading biographies, particularly biographies of women.

Texts Of Desire
Popular fiction continues to be the object of both academic and political interest as educators seek to understand the role literacy plays in constructing the gender, class, race, ethnic, age, sexual and national subjectivites of youth. This book focuses on the role of teen romance fiction in the construction and reconstruction of femininity internationally. Developed in the United States amid the conservative political restoration of Reganism, teen romance fiction condenses and articulates the long standing fears and resentments of conservative groups regarding feminism and women's growing independence and political power. Drawing on multidisciplinary approaches from cultural studies and feminist theories, psychoanalysis, semiotics, reader research, and critical theory, these essays signal the complexity of the world wide teen romance novel phenomenon and the political character of women's literacy. The book is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students of literacy, women's studies, sociology of education and cultural studies.
