Book Fit  Unfit Or Misfit

Download or read book Fit Unfit Or Misfit written by Kathleen P. Decker and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2006 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the product of a decade of clinical practice, research, and collaboration with a variety of professionals. It presents an overall perspective on the reasons for performing fitness for duty (FFD) evaluations and understanding of the process, why such evaluations are performed and the expectations of the professionals conducting such evaluations. Stress in law enforcement personnel and the reasons why law enforcement professionals experience difficulty is explored. Common causes of unfit officers are examined, including major psychiatric syndromes, personality disorders, and interesting findings regarding family psychiatric history in officers found fit or unfit for duty. Many of the myriad of structured psychological tests that can be used in FFD evaluations are discussed. Medication issues in FFD evaluations are explored as well as the potential impact that medications may have on officers' fitness. Another section of the book explores police officers' expectations of mental health professionals and outlines stereotypes and expectations that law enforcement personnel have regarding mental health personnel. For evaluators, an understanding of the lack of information and misconceptions that officers have may assist them with interacting and educating officers and referring departments. Other sections consider gender and ethnic issues in hiring, stress, and FFD evaluations; duty death and the nature of the stress experienced by law enforcement personnel; police suicide and FFD; how to manage misfit officers; and legal considerations involved in the conduct of FFD evaluations. It is hoped that by reading this book, mental health professionals will be better able to understand and treat the difficulties that law enforcement professionals encounter in the performance of their hazardous and stressful public service. Law enforcement executives may also benefit from understanding how psychological experts determine fitness.

Book Gentile Impurities and Jewish Identities

Download or read book Gentile Impurities and Jewish Identities written by Christine E. Hayes and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-11-14 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In ancient Jewish culture the ideas of purity and impurity defined the socio-cultural boundaries between Jews and Gentiles. Hayes argues that different views of the possibility of conversion, based on varying ideas about Gentile impurity, were the key factor in the formation of Jewish sects in the second temple period, and in the separation of the early Christian Church from what later became rabbinic Judaism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide ranging and compelling account surveys the exciting opportunities and difficult problems which arise from the new human genetics. The availability of increasingly sophisticated information on our genetic make-up presents individuals, and society as a whole, with difficult decisions. Although it is hoped that these advances will ultimately lead the way to the effective treatment and screening for all diseases with a genetic component, at present many individuals are 'condemned' to a life sentence, in the knowledge that they have or will develop an incurable genetic disease.

Book From Civil Partnership to Same Sex Marriage

Download or read book From Civil Partnership to Same Sex Marriage written by Nicola Barker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-04-17 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil Partnership Act 2004 and the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013 are important legal, social and historical landmarks, rich in symbolic, material and cultural meanings. While fiercely opposed by many, within mainstream narratives they are often represented as a victory in a legal reform process that commenced with the decriminalisation of homosexuality. Yet, at the same time, for others they represent a problematic and ambivalent political engagement with the institution of marriage. Consequently, understood or labelled as ‘revolutionary’, ‘progressive’ and ‘conservative’, these legal reforms provide a space for thinking about issues that arguably affect everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or relationship status. This edited collection brings together scholars and commentators from a range of backgrounds, generations and disciplines to reflect on the first ten years of civil partnerships and the introduction of same-sex marriage. Rather than rehearsing the arguments ‘for’ and ‘against’ relationship recognition, the essays ask original questions, draw on a variety of methods and collectively provide a detailed and reflective ‘snap shot’ of a critical moment, a ‘history of the present’ as well as providing a foundation for innovative ways of thinking about and engaging with the possibilities and experiences arising from the new reality of relationship recognition for gays and lesbians.

Book Women Who Belong

Download or read book Women Who Belong written by Marsha R. Robinson and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-22 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why bother to invert the history of Western women? We must do so to fight an insidious, fallacious assumption that patriarchy is universal and eternal, and we must do so to nullify the amnesic effects of Domesticity’s potent semantics. We must resist this two-pronged attack that reduces women to powerless incubators. When we invert the patriarchal hegemony and center the ordinary woman as empowered owner and hostess to her life story, we find women, rich and poor, who chose when, where, how and if they would cooperate with the rules of patriarchy, rules often supported by other women. Our heroines demanded the rights due them for properly occupying their societal place in the home, in church or on the street corner. We find this to be consistent across time and space. We start in the seventeenth century with European women on three continents: Europe, North Africa and North America. We present Isabel de Jésus, Alida Schuyler Van Rensselaer Livingston, and soldiers’ wives, widows and femes sole of the Tangier and Gibraltar garrisons. Here we have women of different religions, language groups and social classes, and they all used patriarchal laws to protect their rights. We move across time to the turn of the twentieth century in Ireland, Puerto Rico and the United States where we find women as wives of rich men in Toledo’s Woman Suffrage Association, as middle class professionals in the civilizing missions of the Christian Church in Puerto Rico, the magdalen homes of Ireland, and the eugenics movement in the US, and as sex workers serving tradesmen in Ireland. Again, these women manipulated the legal systems and demanded the powers due them from legislators, mission boards, and judges. The microhistories of women in this volume adulterate the assumption of universal and eternal patriarchy. As these women claimed the rights due them for properly occupying their prescribed social roles, they also created alliances with men who partnered with them in their feminist projects. Why should we invert Women’s history with microhistory? We must do so to liberate men and women from fallacious, patriarchal oppression.
