Prison Segregation The Limits of Law Prison Segregation: The Limits of Law explores the use of segregation in English prisons by examining how law is used and experienced and how human rights are upheld. It draws on empirical research through interviews with staff and prisoners to understand how law ‘works’ (or not) in a site of the prison which is traditionally characterised by real imbalances of power. The book draws on one of the first research studies of its kind: an in-depth ethnographic study of law culture and norms within the segregation unit. It adopts a socio-legal perspective to explore: (i) how segregation is and should be used in prisons and how the law sets the parameters of that usage (in theory); (ii) the complex web of laws and rules as applies to segregation and their relationship with the actors responsible for their implementation; (iii) how laws and rules can be undermined by the culture and context within which they are implemented. It relies on the voices of prisoners and staff as well as observations and descriptions to bring experiences to life. The accounts from staff and prisoners – sometimes joyous sometimes harrowing – provide a rich and rare insight into the segregation unit. It provides access to and insights into parts of our criminal justice system which are typically impenetrable. Whilst it is an academic study of law and power in segregation units (and prison more broadly) it is also a very human account of lived experiences. The book is multi-disciplinary in nature and will appeal to those with an interest in law sociology criminology and psychology. It will also appeal to those seeking to understand socio-legal research methods in the field of criminal justice. However the book is also pragmatic and has a number of recommendations which would be of interest to practitioners lawyers prison managers and policy-makers. | Prison Segregation The Limits of Law GBP 120.00 1
The Oedipus Complex Today Clinical Implications A collection of papers focusing on the Kleinian conception of the Oedipus complex how this is now understood and what effect it has had on clinical practice. The papers by the authors which form the greater part of The Oedipus Complex Today were originally given at the Melanie Klein Conference on the Oedipus Complex in September 1987 at University College London. The conference jointly organized by Professor J. Sandler of the Psychoanalysis Unit at University College and Mrs. Ruth Riesenberg-Malcolm on behalf of the Melanie Klein Trust was considered such a successful statement of modern Kleinian views on the subject that the Trust has decided to present the papers in book form together with an expanded version of the introduction by Dr Hanna Segal and also a reprint of Melanie Klein's 1945 paper 'The Oedipus Complex in the Light of Early Anxieties'. The three papers writes Dr Segal 'are based on central concepts first put forward by Mrs Klein. | The Oedipus Complex Today Clinical Implications GBP 130.00 1

The Political Economy of Communications International and European Dimensions First published in 1990 The Political Economy of Communications explores the central theme of the relationship between politics and markets in policy development. The contributors show how governments have been drawn into increasing interdependency by technological and market developments with international institutions like the European Community becoming more important in these policy areas. They argue that neither government ideologies nor market and technological forces offer an adequate account of the processes of change in communications policy. These conclusions lead to a critique of central theories of international political economy notably neo-liberalism and the authors advocate instead a neo-pluralist perspective for the study of political economy of communications – an approach that takes institutions much more seriously as a central unit of analysis. The book will be of interest to students of international relations European studies and media and telecommunication studies as well as to political scientists and economists concerned with public policy. | The Political Economy of Communications International and European Dimensions GBP 90.00 1
Autism and Childhood Psychosis This is Frances Tustin's first book and the original statement of her views on autistic states of mind and the genesis of varieties of childhood psychosis. In it she tackles problems of diagnosis as these relate to therapeutic intervention. Autism and Childhood Psychosis was first published in 1972 by Hogarth London and a year later by Jason Aronson New York. Subsequently it was translated and published in France Italy Brazil and Argentina where it is now in its third edition. In France it is a livre de poche. Twenty years ago the book was greeted by a group of Italian therapists working at a unit for psychotic children at the Institute of Childhood Neuropsychiatry Rome University as a ship coming into harbor bearing precious cargo. Here was a theoretical model that provided an anchor for therapists bewildered by the array of bizarre behaviors that seemed to defy scientific explanation and human intervention. GBP 130.00 1
