Living in an Age of Mistrust An Interdisciplinary Study of Declining Trust and How to Get it Back

Living in an Age of Mistrust An Interdisciplinary Study of Declining Trust and How to Get it Back

Trust is a concept familiar to most. Whether we are cognizant of it or not we experience it on a daily basis. Yet trust is quickly eroding in civic and political life. Americans’ trust in their government has reached all-time lows. The political and social consequences of this decline in trust are profound. What are the foundations of trust? What explains its apparent decline in society? Is there a way forward for rebuilding trust in our leaders and institutions? How should we study the role of trust across a diverse range of policy issues and problems? Given its complexity trust as an object of study cannot be claimed by any single discipline. Rather than vouch for an overarching theory of trust Living in an Age of Mistrust synthesizes existing perspectives across multiple disciplines to offer a truly comprehensive examination of this concept and a topic of research. Using an analytical framework that encompasses rational and cultural (or sociological) dimensions of trust the contributions found therein provide a wide range of policy issues both domestic and international to explore the apparent decline in trust its impact on social and political life and efforts to rebuild trust. | Living in an Age of Mistrust An Interdisciplinary Study of Declining Trust and How to Get it Back

Laurence Sterne and the Visual Imagination

It helps to explain why scores of editions of his fiction have been illustrated some profusely: to fulfill the reader's desire as well as the artist's compulsion to visualize Sterne's words. Gerard places his subject in a clear and innovative theoretical framework which opens the field to general word and image studies. The author begins by examining the distinct varieties of pictorialism in Sterne's texts. The remainder of the study takes into account three remarkable series of illustrations-representing Trim reading the sermon didactic sentimentalism in A Sentimental Journey and Henry Mackenzie's Man of Feeling and the many and diverse portrayals of 'poor Maria' - to demonstrate the ways in which culture projects these texts differently through the various artists. | Laurence Sterne and the Visual Imagination

Transnational Horror Across Visual Media Fragmented Bodies

Transnational Horror Across Visual Media Fragmented Bodies

This volume investigates the horror genre across national boundaries (including locations such as Africa Turkey and post-Soviet Russia) and different media forms illustrating the ways that horror can be theorized through the circulation reception and production of transnational media texts. Perhaps more than any other genre horror is characterized by its ability to be simultaneously aware of the local while able to permeate national boundaries to function on both regional and international registers. The essays here explore political models and allegories questions of cult or subcultural media and their distribution practices the relationship between regional or cultural networks and the legibility of international horror iconography across distinct media. The book underscores how a discussion of contemporary international horror is not only about genre but about how genre can inform theories of visual cultures and the increasing permeability of their borders. | Transnational Horror Across Visual Media Fragmented Bodies

A Cop Doc's Guide to Public Safety Complex Trauma Syndrome Using Five Police Personality Styles

Cop Doc's Guide to Public Safety Complex Trauma Syndrome is written in response to the need for an advanced specialized guide for clinicians to operationally define understand and responsibly treat complex post-traumatic stress and grief syndromes in the context of the unique varieties of police personality styles. The book continues where Rudofossi's first book Working with Traumatized Police Officer Patients left off. Theory is wed to practice and practice to effective interventions with police officer-patients. The 'how' and 'why' of a clinician's approach is made highly effective by understanding the distinct personality styles of officer-patients.

Thus this original work expands the ecological-ethological existential analysis of complex PTSD into the context of personality styles with an emphasis on resilience - without ignoring the pathological aspects of loss that often envelop officer-patient trauma syndromes. | A Cop Doc's Guide to Public Safety Complex Trauma Syndrome Using Five Police Personality Styles
