Marian Meyer's study sets an immediate standard for research on news coverage of violence against women. The study recognizes that multiple factors-culture, gender, race, socioeconomic issues, journalistic routines, and reporter consciousness-enter into the writing of such news. Meyer's work is comprehensive in analyzing both print and broadcast news, and her methods are wide-ranging, including textual and structural analyses, and interviewing. I see the usefulness of this book in reporting, theoretical, and methods classes. -Carolyn M. Byerly, Department of Television-Radio, Ithaca College This original new work demonstrates the troubling evidence that news coverage in American cities routinely depicts criminal violence against females differently than males. News Coverage of Violence Against Women discusses this tendency and how it perpetuates traditional, inegalitarian stereotyping about both men and women. Author Marian Meyers combines original research with qualitative textual analysis to disclose the underlying ideology, myths, and assumptions within news coverage, pointing out how news broadcasting affects our view of the world and how we live our lives. She also makes a strong case for the re-examination of crime news from a feminist perspective and for a broadening of traditional understandings of the social construction of news to include issues of gender, race, and class. News Coverage of Violence Against Women is an eye-opening work that will be of great interest to students, researchers, and professionals in a wide range of areas, including communication, media studies, mass communication, sociology, women's studies, cultural studies, and ethnic and gender studies.132.291132.29Marian Meyers978080395812897808039581290007118, 132.29TPPaperbackCouverture soupleengSage PublicationsSage Publications3110.768.946.0210.768.946.02111997-07-30T00:00:00Misunderstood Child AbuseMunchausen By Proxy SyndromeP10158WorkbooksPTRGENE01AGeneral Educational ResourcesEDU029000, EDU029050, SCI000000Teaching Methods & MaterialsBooks > Education & Teaching > Teaching Methods & Materialshttps://dynamic. indigoimages. ca/books/0803958129.jpg?scaleup=true&width=600&quality=85&lang=enhttps://dynamic. indigoimages. ca/books/0803958129.jpg?scaleup=true&width=600&quality=85&lang=frMunchausen by Proxy Syndrome (MBPS), a form of child abuse in which a caretaker-usually a mother-fabricates and/or induces illness in a child, is one of the least understood forms of child abuse and mental illness. Examining the current knowledge about the manifestations and consequences of this perplexing behavior, Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome assists all professionals working with chronically ill children in identifying and intervening with this bizarre and often deadly form of abuse. Drawing from their firsthand experience with the complexities of such cases, the editors and contributors address critical issues of not only identification and assessment but also longterm psychotherapy. Therapy with the mother/perpetrator has traditionally been markedly unsuccessful, but this book provides a much-needed framework for the successful treatment of acknowledged perpetrators. Emphasizing the important role of efficient multidisciplinary cooperation in handling MBPS cases, Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome also features perspectives from experts in the fields of medicine, child protection, education, social work, hospital administration, and law. Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome demystifies the mother/perpetrator's deception and gives professionals the knowledge to save children from induced life-threatening illnesses and consequent medical procedures. Professionals, academics, researchers, and students in a variety of fields, including clinical/counseling psychology, social work, nursing/health sciences, criminal justice, and law, will need the information presented in this book to help stop this form of abuse.132.291132.29102.95Teresa F.
