Rituals, Routines, and Recovery: Living With OCD
Authors: Kant Jared Douglas , Franklin Martin , Andrews Linda Wasmer 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It was during my junior year of high school that I experienced the most horrific and terrifying obsessions. These intrusive thoughts included images that superimposed themselves upon the world around me like an acetate overlay. For instance, in the middle of a conversation with my best friend, Corrine, I would suddenly see myself burying a hatchet into her chest. It was the most terrifying thing I could think of, since I loved Corrine (and still do to this day). Yet this sort of image kept coming back at random times, and when it did, it left me shaking.
I also developed a fear that if I didn’t tell my therapist every single thing I had done the entire day, it would turn out that I had omitted the part where I killed someone and left the body in the woods. To my knowledge, I’ve never actually killed anyone, and I’ve certainly never left a dead body in the woods. But the thought kept returning. This was my OCD telling me that I had done something I found morally reprehensible.
A Round Universe
Authors: Burns Jennifer 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Spotlights crisscrossed the sky as Ayn and Frank drove toward Hollywood for the long-awaited debut of the movie The Fountainhead in June 1949. While it was being shot Rand had been on the set almost daily, making sure the script she wrote was not altered. She paid special attention to Roark’s courtroom speech. When King Vidor, the director, tried to shoot an abridged version of the six-minute speech, the longest in film history, she threatened to denounce the movie. Jack Warner joked later that he was afraid she would blow up his studio, and he told Vidor to shoot it as written. Rand also successfully battled film censors in the conservative Hays Office, who objected as much to her individualistic rhetoric as the movie’s racy sexuality. But even Ayn Rand was no match for the Hollywood hit machine. At the movie’s starstudded premiere she was devastated to discover the film had been cut, eliminating Howard Roark’s climactic declaration, “I wish to come here and say that I am a man who does not exist for others.”
Between A “Soft” and A “Hard” Place
Authors: Carter Prudence L 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Soon-to-be high-school graduate Maxwell Tucker, speaking rather pointedly and anecdotally as he reflected on his school experiences with me one evening at his home, presented a picture of his high-school world that was consistent with reports from scholars, researchers, and journalists. Girls are outperforming boys in the classroom (Jacobs 1996; Lewin 1998; Mickelson 1989). Whether they are actually smarter remains to be seen; there are no proven differences in intelligence between the sexes. Still, research shows that throughout their scholastic careers, girls perform better in subjects that require verbal competence. Although studies show that boys do better than girls in math and science (Catsambis 1994; Maccoby and Jacklin 1974; Nowell and Hedges 1998; Stevenson and Newman 1986), overall, girls have higher grade point averages and college attainment rates (Jacobs 1996; Mickelson 1989).
Models of Social Work Supervision
Authors: Brittain Charmaine R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Child welfare supervision models reflect the nature of social work itself; they come from a blending of models from various disciplines, which result in models compatible with the nature of child welfare supervision. As social work and, more specifically, child welfare has become more professional and standardized rather than ad hoc, so has supervisory practice. This chapter explores models of supervision that may help to guide such practice.
Models help us make sense of our world by providing a framework for explaining behavior, phenomena, or objects. A model makes generalizations about observations of events or behavior and consists of an interrelated, coherent set of ideas and concepts that coalesce to promote understanding of events or behavior and thus offer implications for a course of action. Use of a model provides a broader understanding of supervision so that the practice of supervision can occur more effectively (Kadushin, 1976; Tsui, 2005). A model is distinguished from a philosophy of practice, which is a supervisor’s personal and professional integrated belief system that guides both supervisory and case practice (Munson, 2002). In this chapter, we present brief information about various models that guide social work supervision, to provide grounding for our understanding of supervision in child welfare. A fuller and more thorough analysis can be found in Tsui (2005) or Kadushin and Harkness (2002).
Working In Changing Environments
Authors: Cahn Katharine , Berns David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Child welfare services are in a state of constant change. In fact, it might be said that change is the only constant in child welfare. New practices, new programs, and changes in organizational structure and policy, both planned and unplanned, are constant and often overlap. It is this ongoing change that makes the field interesting as it evolves over time to better meet the needs of children and families. Change can be a source of new energy, new resources, and increased effectiveness. But the constant pace of change can also be a source of stress. When poorly managed, change at this pace can be distracting, confusing, and even upsetting to child welfare staff. Managing change processes well is key to effectiveness as a child welfare supervisor.
This chapter explores change in two ways. The first part introduces a basic understanding of the dynamics of change in child welfare organizations. The second part reviews seven aspects of the supervisor’s role in managing change. The reader should finish the chapter with a thorough appreciation of the importance of the child welfare supervisor in understanding and managing change, having reviewed the areas where the supervisor can make a difference and encountered practical suggestions for managing change successfully to the benefit of children and families.
Help of All Kinds
Authors: Silverman Phyllis R , Kelly Madelyn 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
After a death in the family, you and your children find yourselves in a frightening and surreal situation, almost like waking up in an altered universe. Even if the death was anticipated, that element of surprise is still there. The life you were leading has collapsed, and now you have to dig yourselves out of the rubble. Overwhelmed by events, and lacking knowledge and perspective, you will need all the help you can get to feel supported and whole, to cope more effectively, and to deal with your changed and changing world. Help is out there, but too often, you won’t know what you need, or how to get it.
Looking Back, Looking Ahead
Authors: Silverman Phyllis R , Kelly Madelyn 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the years after the death of a loved one, you learn to accommodate your pain and loss as you and your children adjust to your new reality. Sometimes it might even be hard to remember what it was like before the death when you were all together. Over time, feelings become clearer and the pain, while still real, is not as intense as before. You have not “recovered,” you have not “gotten over it,” but you are rebuilding a life. Ten years after Dale’s death, his father tries to describe this delicate balance:
Political Rights
Authors: Talbott William J 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the previous chapter I discussed the consequentialist and nonconsequentialist rationales for a package of eight basic human rights. As yet, there are no political rights in the package. In this chapter, I add them. It may seem obvious that democratic rights should be added to the package. Advocates of democratic rights usually try to justify them in one of three ways: by appeal to (1) autonomy, (2) procedure, or (3) results. I discuss each of them briefly and then explain why I favor the third.
Introduction
Authors: Ashkenazi Michael 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
“Be careful of the snake,” Mr. Takayama said conversationally. We were passing beneath a large cryptomeria on our way back from a purification ritual he had conducted in a small shrine set among ripening rice fields.
“Where?” I looked down, expecting the snake to appear, fangs dripping venom, from between the gnarled roots.
“Oh, he’s around somewhere,” Mr. Takayama said vaguely. “I just didn’t want you startled. I’ve already warned the people at the shrine.”
Behind us, a small group of people—farmers mostly—milled around the little wooden model building that served as a shrine. Before it two rather ratty banners fluttered in the breeze.
“It’s very bad to hurt one of these snakes, the ones that live in the cryptomerias near shrines. They are always messengers of Ryujin.” Mr. Takayama led the way along the narrow path that headed for his car. It was a ten-minute ride to the city, whose buildings were clearly visible before us.
Earthworms (Lumbricus rubellus) in Northwestern Europe: Sublethal Effects of Copper on Population Viability
Authors: Klok Chris 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In a large number of industrialized countries, soils are polluted with a mixture of contaminants such as heavy metals (Bengtsson and Tranvik 1989; Eeva and Lehikoinen 1996). In the Netherlands, for instance, as many as 175,000 sites in rural areas are classified as highly polluted on the basis of soil quality criteria for single pollutants (Swartjes 1999). Remediation of these sites would require an enormous effort and lead to an extreme high cost for society. Additionally, the extent of the risk these polluted soils actually pose to below- and above-ground ecosystems remains unclear. Earthworm populations are an important study organism to gain more insight in these risks. Earthworms form the largest part of the animal biomass in most temperate soils (Lavelle and Spain 2001); they strongly influence soil fertility (Edwards and Lofty 1977) and are a major food source for many species (Lee 1985). Given their link in many food chains, earthworms play a key role in transporting pollutants from the soil into the above-ground ecosystem.
Potential Effects of Freshwater and Estuarine Contaminant Exposure on Lower Columbia River Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) Populations
Authors: Spromberg Julann A , Johnson Lyndal L 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Columbia River provides critical habitat for 13 stocks of threatened and endangered salmon species in the Pacific Northwest. For at least some period of time, all of these stocks use the Columbia River estuary for a migration corridor, and ocean-type stocks that outmigrate as subyearlings, such as the lower Columbia River (LCR) fall chinook, use it for a more extended period of rearing. Hydroelectric dams, overharvest, hatchery production, and habitat degradation are commonly cited as causes of the long-term decline in Columbia River salmon stocks (National Research Council 1996). However, one component of that habitat degradation—toxic contamination—has not been well explored, although it is increasingly recognized as a potential limiting factor for salmon recovery in watersheds with significant agricultural, urban, or industrial land use coverage (National Marine Fisheries Service 1998). Toxic contaminants may pose a particular threat to the LCR chinook salmon evolutionarily significant unit (ESU), which was listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 1999 (National Marine Fisheries Service 1999).
The Trifurcated Islam of Central Asia: A Turkish Perspective
Authors: Yavuz M Hakan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
After the collapse of the Soviet Union (USSR), many scholars focused on the role of Islam and Islamic movements in the newly formed southern tier states. The struggle over memory and suppressed identities, the tension between the center and the periphery, were all interpreted as the revival of Islam. Islam in general, and Islamic movements in particular, became the object of debate and sources of speculation. For instance, the events in the Fergana Valley in 1989, which resulted in the destruction of large numbers of Meskhetian Turks by mostly ethnic Uzbeks, the similar conflict between Uzbeks and Kyrgyz ethnic groups in Osh province of Kyrgyzstan in 1990, and the 1992–97 civil war in Tajikistan were all read as a struggle between modernity and Islamic fanaticism. In fact, a closer examination of these events indicates that their causes and public manifestations are not the same. The Tajik civil war was not primarily about the revival of Islam or creating an Islamic republic.
The Free Air of the New World: The Protestant Immigrant Experience
Authors: Joselit Jenna Weissman 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Most of us go about our lives giving little thought to the Pilgrims or the Puritans, the seventeenth-century immigrants who, settling in what is now Massachusetts and Virginia, formed the very first generation of British colonists in North America. And when we do think of these two groups, usually (and fleetingly) at Thanksgiving, we tend to associate them, writes historian Edmund Morgan, with “kill-joys in tallcrowned hats, whose main occupation was to prevent each other from having any fun and whose sole virtue lay in their furniture.” A closer look, however, at the people who proudly called themselves Pilgrims and Puritans-the Bradfords and the Winthrops, the Kembles and the Eddys-tells a different and far more complex story, one in which ordinary human beings, motivated by a profound sense of faith, set out to create a new kind of moral community amid the wilderness of the New World.
In the Land of the Flowery Flag: Immigrants of the Late Twentieth Century
Authors: Joselit Jenna Weissman 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Up in the southern California hills, just north of Malibu, stands the majestic Sri Venkateshwara Temple, the largest Hindu shrine in the Western Hemisphere. Built in 1981 by expert craftsmen and temple builders brought from India, the shrine, said the Los Angeles Times, is a “sight to behold.” With its nine domed towers encasing carved statues of the Hindu gods, gold-topped cupolas, and intricate carvings of lions and dragons, elephants and lotus blossoms, the temple looks like something straight out of Hollywood. But it is real, a place where thousands of Hindus go to pray and congregate, a place where East meets West.
An Ancient Faith in the New World
Authors: Erickson John H 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A little Orthodox child once explained why he liked to go to church. “We usually get something,” he said. And that certainly is true. Worshipers receive blessed fruit on the feast of Christ’s transfiguration; holy water at Epiphany, the feast of his baptism; palms and pussy willows on Palm Sunday, to mark his entry into Jerusalem; an egg at Easter, the feast of his resurrection; sweet-smelling oil on the forehead at nearly every vigil service; something sweet to taste when receiving Holy Communion. No doubt this child’s understanding of the Christian faith will become more sophisticated as he gets older. But even at a very early age, he has grasped something important.
The Quest for Unity
Authors: Erickson John H 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Since the mid-twentieth century the ethnic jurisdiction has remained one of the most visible features of Orthodoxy in America. When Orthodoxy is mentioned, people tend to think first of its ethnic aspect. Orthodox Christians who are asked about their religious affiliation almost always add an ethnic qualifier-Greek, Serbian, Russian, Ukrainian, or the like. In the decades immediately following World War II (1939--45), the number of such jurisdictions in America increased, mostly because of political changes in Eastern Europe. Some of the new jurisdictions were formed by smaller ethnic groups-such as the Belorusians or Estonians-that had not been represented earlier. Others resulted from political divisions within ethnic groups. But even as the number of jurisdictions multiplied, Orthodoxy in America was changing from within.
Worlds Old and New
Authors: Butler Jon 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The French Jesuit Pierre de Charlevoix was fascinated by the religious customs of the Algonquian-speaking Indians of southern Canada and northern New York and New England. In his two-volume Journal of a Voyage to North-America (1761), Charlevoix related many stories about Algonquian religion that seemed both wonderful and strange. Charlevoix was especially intrigued by Algonquian dreaming and its dramatic effect among traditional Algonquian believers. He was particularly taken by a story told to him by French Jesuit missionaries working among the Algonquian Indians. An Algonquian man dreamed that he had been a prisoner held by Algonquian enemies. When he awoke, he was confused and afraid. What did the dream mean? When he consulted the Algonquian shaman, the ﬁgure who mediated between humans, the gods, and nature, the shaman told him he had to act out the implications of the dream. The man had himself tied to a post, and other Algonquians burned several parts of his body, just as would have happened had his captivity been real.
Religion and Missions in New Spain and New France
Authors: Butler Jon 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Spanish, Portuguese, French, and English conquerors, who so ferociously subjugated the “New World” after Columbus discovered America in 1492, were startled by America’s native inhabitants. Natives worshiped gods the Europeans found incomprehensible but displayed goods the Europeans found irresistible—gold, crops, plants, and animals. Natives were no less startled by the Europeans. Europeans brought new gods—in competing versions of Christianity—as well as goods that natives found irresistible—tools, clothing, weapons, and foods. Europeans and natives proved as serious about their gods as about their goods, and the interchanges among the Spanish, French, and North American natives that began in the early 1500s, which were often deadly, became the foundation for two centuries of changing religious patterns in northern Mexico, Florida, and Canada.
‘The Law and the Prophets’
Authors: Barton John 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The problem of the canon is like many other problems in biblical studies in that we probably already possess all the evidence we are ever likely to have. Certainly I have no fresh information that is not freely available elsewhere from which to argue for an explanation of the place of the Prophets in the canon different from that of the consensus view just summarized. I shall begin, however, by calling attention to seven facts which, though not in dispute, fit very uneasily into the framework established by the consensus, and then go on to present an alternative explanation which accommodates them as well as the evidence on which the consensus itself is based.’
Prophets and their Message
Authors: Barton John 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Without prophets, there would have been no Scriptures: on that Josephus and most of his contemporaries were agreed. But what were these prophets like? Though their words came from God himself, they were more than mere copy-typists, their inspiration affected the kind of people they were in every way; and they did other things besides writing holy books. In this chapter we shall canvass the opinions of the varied witnesses in our period, and try to discover how different groups saw the ancient prophets whose writings were held in so much reverence.
Lim In Ali Ty And The Courage To Change Making the Decision to Become a Single Mother
Authors: Hertz Rosanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
James was my first really true love relationship. But it just was n’t meant to be. We shared quirky amusements-like who could do the Sunday crossword puzzle faster-and I admired his artistic talents. He would wake me up in the morning by playing music at the foot of our bed; he wrote love songs to me that made me melt. We shared a connection that is really beyond words, a soul mate. He loved my “flashes of insight,” his exact words, which still remain with me.
Moving On When Baby Makes Two
Authors: Hertz Rosanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
After years together, my girlfriend and I had discussed at length having a child together-she was gung-ho about the idea and we had many conversations dis cussing how we wanted to have this baby and who would do it. I really wanted to experience pregnancy, and since I was older, in my early thirties, we thought I should have my turn first. We decided that a childhood friend of mine, probably my oldest male friend that I have known since we were ten, would be a great person to ask. We’re pretty close even though he lives in Pennsylvania, so we approached him about it, just had a general conversation. And at the time, he said, “Oh, yeah, that’s something I would think about.”
What does single mean?
Authors: Hertz Rosanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The term “single mother” is in many ways a misnomer. The lives of these women challenge the idea of singleness as a monolithic concept. While all these women are legally single because they are not married, single implies they are alone, and these women are anything but. In one context, being single-the opposite of being married-implies that these women are available for romantic partnering. In another context, being a single mother, defined by politicians discussing poverty and out of wedlock births, is taken to mean parenting alone, in absence of the child’s father.
Downshifting Careers While Financing Motherhood: Relying on the Gift-Giver, the Roommate, and the Careworker

Published: November 2023

Abstract
I work at a hospital and I also work in research. Except when I am attending at the hospital, my hours are very predictable. But I’ve had to shift things around to get it this way-I mean, I turned down a big promotion and some other interesting opportunities just to have a child. I’m thinking of moving out of the clinical side, because the hours are n’t regular. It would be hard to spend less time at the clinic, but honestly, weird hours are n’t compatible with babysitters.
Introduction: Divine Motives for the Incarnation
Authors: Van Driel Edwin Chr. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In 1991, the year I entered divinity school, the church in the Netherlands was involved in a reprise of a perennial theological debate: what should we think of the resurrection? Articles were written, debates organized, and pamphlets published. One of these pamphlets was written by a professor in systematic theology of the school where I studied, and as a dutiful new student I bought and read it. My professor engaged a number of philosophical and scientific arguments against the resurrection, and finally came to speak of its theological meaning. There, at the end of the pamphlet, a short passage caught my attention.
Darner’s Supralapsarian Christology
Authors: Van Driel Edwin Chr. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Isaak August Dorner (1809-84) is nowadays a little-known German theologian. He did not attract many followers; his influence is hardly recognizable in subsequent theologians. His systematics, System der Christliche Glaubenslehre, was published when Albrecht Ritschl and his school already were putting their mark on the theological scene. At the publication of the first volume, Dorner himself wrote to his friend Hans Lassen Martensen: “The book will be like a stranger to the current generation.” Dorner might have been right. Ritschlian theology has little patience for the high Christological approach and the ontological arguments that Dorner builds his thoughts upon. But while his System was like a stranger to his.
