"This book represents an important contribution to the literature on research designs that may be implemented when randomized experiments are not feasible or are limited. Covering the full range of design alternatives, this is the first text that fuses important recent advances from statistics and econometrics into Campbells pioneering approach. A notable feature is Reichardts careful attention to issues that arise in each research design; he offers innovative design and analysis strategies that can minimize these issues and permit the strongest possible conclusions from research. Clearly written, this text is an outstanding choice for courses focusing on key issues of research design, and is suitable for graduate students with only a basic background in statistics. Established researchers will find it to be a valuable reference that offers new insights for strengthening research designs so that they yield the most credible possible evidence."--Stephen G. West, PhD, Department of Psychology, Arizona State University "This book not only compiles a comprehensive list of methods on quasi-causal design, but also problematizes causes of biases even in perfectly executed experimental and quasi-experimental designs. The authors take on the ways in which quasi-experiments could potentially render better results than randomized experiments is refreshing and important. Professors will want to discuss this book in their classes. I highly recommend it for students and even more experienced researchers--the author highlights the fundamentals of each approach along with its strengths and limitations.--Manuel Gonzlez Canch, PhD, Higher Education, Quantitative Methods, and Education Policy Divisions, Graduate School of Education, University of Pennsylvania "A &#39;must read.&#39; After a thorough presentation of the strengths of randomized experiments, Reichardt provides a remarkably up-to-date review and synthesis of current thinking on the best, most useful alternatives. Notably, he uses simple and direct language to explain key concepts of the &#39;counterfactual outcomes&#39; approach for estimating causal effects. While written for a graduate and professional audience, the book does not require advanced statistical knowledge. It is ideal as a supplemental text for a graduate course on experimental design and the analysis of variance, or as the primary source for a seminar on quasi-experimental design and analysis. Practicing scientists will want to own this book to understand how best to confront analytic issues in their empirical research and interpret their results."--Keith F. Widaman, PhD, Distinguished Professor, Graduate School of Education, University of California, Riverside "Reichardt provides an expansive treatment of quasi-experimental designs, in the tradition of Shadish, Cook, and Campbell. This book includes up-to-date discussions of propensity scores, modern missing data procedures, and instrumental variables. Students will appreciate the numerous examples that help clarify the concepts. I would recommend this book for any graduate research methods class--I will certainly use it myself.--Felix J. Thoemmes, PhD, Department of Human Development and Department of Psychology, Cornell University "Ever wonder how to best design a quasi-experimental study? This book will help you figure out which research questions best lend themselves to this type of experimental design. Have you collected data from a quasi-experiment and now want to make sure that you correctly analyze and interpret the results? This book addresses the assumptions that must be met, potential pitfalls, and statistical considerations. As an educational psychologist who teaches students across disciplines, I recommend this book as an up-to-date reference on quasi-experimental designs. Randomized controlled trials are not always feasible, for many reasons, so the way this text is framed is actually more useful for fields like education and the social sciences."--Meagan C. Arrastia-Chisholm, PhD, Department of Psychology, Counseling, and Family Therapy, Valdosta State University-

"Bender and Messner offer a highly engaging, nonjudgmental, and clear description of the nuts and bolts of therapy. Practical tools, real-world scripts, and excellent case examples make this book stand out. With its down-to-earth approach, this book provides a wealth of knowledge and wisdom for beginning therapists!"--Pamela A. Hays, PhD, author of Addressing Cultural Complexities in Counseling and Clinical Practice I highly recommend this text for master&#39;s-level clinical mental health counseling courses. Bender and Messner provide very practical &#39;dos and donts&#39; for developing the therapeutic relationship and maintaining the therapeutic alliance. The training process for beginning counselors can be extremely anxiety provoking, as students move from hypothetical situations to actual client interactions and engagement. Becoming a Therapist, Second Edition, recognizes and honors the transition to clinical practice and provides real-time support for students&#39; feelings and experiences--Robtrice D. Brawner, PhD, LCPC, Department of Psychology, Professional Counseling, and Neuroscience, University of WisconsinParkside-A practical, no-nonsense guide to the process of psychotherapy....This book is a valuable and refreshing resource for both novice therapists and their patients. Though the target audience for this text is psychotherapists in training, it also provides valuable insights for clinicians of all levels and for anyone who wants to take a peek at the inner workings of psychotherapy. (on the first edition)--The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 1/1/2005ƒƒThis book fills a gap in clinical training for psychotherapy, offering helpful strategies for handling many issues that arise. I recommend it for all psychiatric residents and for other students of mental health disciplines. It will also be useful to supervisors and more experienced practitioners who are interested in reflecting upon their approach and in carefully considering the therapeutic impact of the words they use. (on the first edition)--The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry, 10/1/2004ƒƒThis book is a must-read for every novice psychotherapist, as well as for psychotherapy supervisors and instructors. Even experienced therapists would likely benefit from the examples discussed in this book as a 'refresher' for practical examples of techniques to apply in common clinical encounters. I applaud Drs. Bender and Messner for writing such a relevant, practical, and needed guide for novice therapists....Psychiatry residents, psychology students and interns, social workers, and clinical counselors could all benefit immensely from this well written text. Additionally, psychotherapy supervisors could use this text as a reference for trainees. I believe this text should become an integral part of, if not required reading for, the psychotherapy curriculum in psychiatry residency programs. (on the first edition)--Journal of Psychiatric Practice, 11/1/2004ƒƒThis is a beautifully conceptualized and written book. It was carefully planned to cover all main practical issues in psychotherapy and it covers them….The wealth and quality of therapist–patient dialogues is a great feature. I recommend this book to any beginning therapist, especially to psychiatric residents. I also recommend it to more experienced therapists to brush up on their therapeutic skills. All practicing clinicians could benefit from reviewing issues presented in this volume. I also suggest that this book become a required reading in residency training programs. (on the first edition)--Annals of Clinical Psychiatry, 3/1/2003ƒƒThis book addresses many questions faced by a novice clinician, offers useful advice, and provides a good starting point on which a young therapist can begin his or her career. Becoming a Therapist would appeal to psychiatry residents, psychology interns, social workers, and psychiatric nurses. Nonprofessionals who are interested in learning the basic process of therapy would also find the book accessible because of its restrained use of technical terminology. (on the first edition)--Psychiatric Services, 10/1/2003

The Ideal Man

"This is a terrific collection: an outstanding volume of unusual breadth and depth, in a rapidly expanding field of inquiry. With compelling foreword by Nan Alamilla Boyd, contextualising introduction by three co-editors, and nineteen chapters drawn from diverse oral history projects with innovative methodologies, the book ranges geographically from the country to the city, across Australia, Canada, UK, and US. It engages an astounding array of narrators, from LGBTQ+ children of Holocaust survivors to straight and gay nurses navigating the early AIDS crisis, from intersex and marriage equality activists to trans military veterans. In addition to complex accounts of shame, job loss, reticence, and dissemblance, they tell unforgettable stories of lives lived loud, proud, and against the grain. 

As gender and sexuality studies grows ever stronger and richer, these authors’ insights will guide students, inform colleagues, and empower community members for years to come. New Directions in Queer Oral History is an enormously important contribution to scholarship—and to queer cultures around the world."
John Howard, King’s College London, UK
"New Directions in Queer Oral History: Archives of Disruption reminds us why queer oral history is at the cutting edge of oral history practice and theory. Bringing together a diverse range of contributors working on lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer histories in a variety of national contexts, this rich collection provokes us to think again about our practice of oral history and both the limits and radical potential of the stories we generate. Raising difficult questions such as whether it is necessary, or indeed enough, for interviewers to share an LGBTQ+ identity with narrators; how intergenerational dynamics shape both the interview and our wider sense of community and self; and how we respond to the ethical dilemmas of probing traumatic histories, this lively and intimate collection shows how far queer oral history has come and points to the productive and disruptive possibilities of this fascinating field."

“Donato Bergandi … has produced important works in philosophy of ecology and environmental ethics … . This book is a very well organized one, covering various scientific and philosophical issues and debates. It is a highly recommended reading for a wide audience, including ecologists, evolutionary biologists and philosophers interested in environmental issues. … it can also be useful in introductory courses in environmental ethics as well as in history and philosophy of ecology/evolution courses.” (Nei de Freitas Nunes-Neto, Science & Education, Vol. 24, June, 2015)

&ldquo;A unique, moving book . . . Nearly impossible to put down . . . It has an unexpected poignancy that builds as the pages turn . . . Though a story of hate is at its center, it&rsquo;s enveloped by a larger story of fiction and wonder and love&mdash;most brightly that of a son for his father.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Moira Macdonald, Seattle Times &ldquo;Masterful . . . Sublime . . . Ultimately, The Final Case is a thorough investigation into what makes the two main characters tick while providing readers truth about the human condition in that satisfying way only great fiction can do.&rdquo;&mdash;Elena Hartwell, New York Journal of Books&#160;&ldquo;Elegiac and touched with Seattle Noir . . . The novelist&rsquo;s celebrated eye for detail is evident on page after page . . . Like Faulkner and Shakespeare, Guterson puts grotesquely evil acts at the center of his narratives. Like John Gardner, the stories are told in non-experimental ways and with a firm moral core . . . As in an earlier review of Guterson&rsquo;s novels, &lsquo;Here&rsquo;s the admirable thing. His books keep getting better.&rsquo;&rdquo;&mdash;David Brewster, Post Alley &ldquo;In this courtroom drama, the author&rsquo;s first since Snow Falling on Cedars, Guterson turns the genre on its head . . . As the novel unfolds, its legal framework reveals its true stake: understanding how such a tragedy could occur within the systems we take part in . . . Hope triumphs.&rdquo;&mdash;Avenue Magazine (Best Books of 2022 So Far)"A tender, closely observed, and often surprising novel . . . Ultimately, the mystery at the center of The Final Case is not about innocence or guilt, but about how one family&rsquo;s profound attachments can stand alongside breathtaking cruelty in another . . .&#160;Guterson is the kind of writer about whom people used to say, when there were such things, &lsquo;I&rsquo;d read him, even if he wrote the phone book.&rsquo; Every sentence has a graceful weight and meter and is illumined by a subtle intelligence that makes his descriptions arresting but never showy . . . Vivid and wrenching.&rdquo;  &mdash;Scott Turow, New York Times Book Review&ldquo;A beautiful, heartfelt novel. Guterson&rsquo;s tale swirls and loops and soars and digresses, gradually pulling you, like a vortex, closer and closer to eternal truths about death and life, hate and love. Especially love.&rdquo; &mdash;Daniel James Brown, author of #1 New York Times Best Seller The Boys in the Boat   &ldquo;With empathy as deep as Puget Sound and his usual graceful prose, Guterson does a masterful job of showing a father facing his last big challenge in life and the son whose love of him is much more than filial duty. The Final Case is alive with all the contradictions of our moment, but more than that, it&rsquo;s alive with wisdom that this novelist has earned.&rdquo;  &mdash;Timothy Egan, author of National Book Award winner The Worst Hard Time  &ldquo;David Guterson&rsquo;s appropriately nameless main character in The Final Case is a fiction writer at the vortex of a life he can no longer see as linear, heroic, or containable by his old architectures. In this&#160;&lsquo;final case,&rsquo;&#160;all of history is on trial, and his character finds himself a witness in the still and silent eye of disturbances now cyclonic in force and scope.&#160;Guterson is at his best here when capturing the wildly various judgments of our moment. His ranters run the gamut, from fundamentalist conspiracy theorists to socialist decolonialists; he captures with equal accuracy the painful double-bind of being a young white liberal male, and the pathos of mortal decline. At the heart of the story lies the moral complexity of what constitutes salvation. Guterson&rsquo;s characters, powerless to deter, correct, or forgive one another, can only denounce and punish.&#160;But his witness, the writer, makes no easy sense of the crimes he encounters, and is capable of only the most tenuous conclusions. Nothing could be more humane, or timely. &mdash;Karen Fisher, author of A Sudden Country&ldquo;I read The Final Case in a single sitting, spellbound by David Guterson&rsquo;s exploration of a tragic death caused by the kind of religious fanaticism that has long plagued our human species. Yet he balances this horrifying perversion of spirituality with the portrait of a lawyer, nearing death, who in the true meaning of heroism, knows that his daily devotion to the rule of law, reason, and civilized values is all that we have&mdash;as problematic as these principles can be&mdash;to hold back the irrational, ever-present darkness in the human soul. Long after you have finished reading this life-affirming novel, the timeless issues it raises will linger in your mind.&rdquo; &mdash;Charles Johnson, author of National Book Award winner Middle Passage&ldquo;[An] outstanding literary thriller . . . Equal parts philosophical, humane, and self-deprecating, it powerfully speaks to the ineffable contradiction of living a meaningful life. Guterson sensitively explores religion, white privilege, and justice while examining with realism and empathy the bond between parents and their children. With its simple message of hope, this novel will linger with readers long after the final page.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly"A bestselling author explores art, justice, and grief as he questions what makes a story true . . . [Guterson] subverts expectations over and over again . . .&#160;Needfully discomfiting."&mdash;Kirkus Reviews (starred)
