Will They Ever Trust Us Again?

This book is a case study of a pregnant teenage girl in Madrid and the therapeutic educator who accompanied her. The broader context is of attachment disorder, borderline personality disorder, adoption, immigration, and abuse, as the girl succumbed to and fought against the lure of prostitution and exploitative men. Dedication, humor, roleplaying, metaphor, and presence characterized over two years of hard work. Simultaneously the book is a primer in relational and systems theory. Lyrical, emotional, personal, and gripping, the story is of successful therapeutic work with intensely painful feelings.
Daniel Gensler, PhD., William Alanson White Institute, New York, NY.
This book is an original and outstanding contribution to the psychotherapy of troubled adolescents. Casado-Frankel and Herrero have written a richly detailed, deeply empathic, and unusually self-reflective account of intensive therapeutic work with a traumatized adolescent girl. It is both an engrossing story and an insightful meditation on the ambiguities, interpersonal nuances, and potential rewards of this difficult and uncertain work. Readers of this book will come away, as I did, with a deeper understanding of the complex, malignant effects of trauma in the lives of children and how, with time and patience, therapy can be a healing process.
Kenneth Barish, PhD., Clinical Professor of Psychology, Weill Cornell Medical College. Author, How to Be a Better Child Therapist: An Integrative Model for Therapeutic Change. 
This book is a noteworthy and creative contribution to the burgeoning clinical literature on treatment of early relational and intergenerationally transmitted trauma. The authors demonstrate and integrate a discussion of early relational trauma as relevant to work with international adoptees, cultural complications, and the psychoanalytic developmental theories upon which the Accompaniment Model is based. De-mystifying theory while bringing to life the complexity of this work, the struggles of a young therapist attempting to maintain a reflective stance during a stormy journey make this a worthwhile read for novice and sophisticated therapist alike.

"Having spent years trying to get companies who don’t get it, to act responsibly and working with others, in bliss, where the mission of Corporate Cultural Responsibility (CCR) is integrated into the fabric of the company, I can appreciate the nature of this thoughtful review of what it means to apply CCR to the work a company does. Corporate Cultural Responsibility: How Business Can Support Art, Design and Culture is a fine exploration of this topic written by Michael Bzdak, who is a consummate believer in the principles he outlines and has lived his life applying them to his work. The only way to get meaningful change going is for everyone who works in business to understand these concepts and put them to use inside their companies."
Chris Hacker, Former CDO Johnson & Johnson, Chair of Product Design at ArtCenter College of Design

"Given the awesome influence of corporations in our lives, Michael Bzdak’s examination of the association between commerce and art, is particularly timely. Bzdak provides us with an honest and clear-eyed assessment of the history, current condition and suggestions for shaping the future of the relationship. In Corporate Cultural Responsibility: How Business Can Support Art, Design and Culture, Bzdak brings decades of experience from inside a corporation with a long historical connection to the arts and the humanities (cultural responsibility) as well as a broadly established presence in the area of social responsibility. The insights and observations in this book are vital for corporate leaders as well as engaged members of the arts and culture communities. Recent events have provided a stark reminder, in case we had forgotten, that all members (stakeholders in corporate parlance) of the community are interconnected and obligated to one another. Michael Bzdak advances the conversation in this remarkable overview of the link between culture and commerce."

Wendel A. White, Distinguished Professor of Art, Stockton University, New Jersey, US

"Any effort trying to overcome the traditional boundaries of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is fresh air for business – as CSR clearly failed. Culture provides a much wider narrative to elevate the debate, paving the way to talk in a different manner about the full potential of that part of business intentionally and deeply engaged in the social impact race. Culture speaks a universal language based on values, histories, traditions, but also creativity, empowerment, propensity and capacity to imagine: all things which build the future thinking mindset of people across different generations. A book for managers and leaders who want to aspire to a re-imagined, beautiful value creation strategy as a way to steer organizational efforts towards meaningful transformation."
Elisa Ricciuti, Executive Director, Cottino Social Impact Campus, Turin, Italy

"Michael Bzdak’s thoughtful, well-researched and provocative Corporate Cultural Responsibility: How Business Can Support Art, Design and Culture delivers on an ambitious agenda to articulate the concept of Corporate Cultural Responsibility and explore the cultural dimensions of a corporation’s relationship with society. It is especially welcome, timely and necessary in the wake of the global upheaval created by the novel coronavirus along with need to address climate change, social justice and economic inequities."

Charles A. Birnbaum, FASLA, FAAR, President + CEO, The Cultural Landscape Foundation, Washington, DC US

"Michael Bzdak’s book Corporate Cultural Responsibility: How Business Can Support Art, Design and Culture　comes at a significant moment when people are questioning corporate culture, the 1%, and need for more philanthropy in this time of global crisis. As he shows, Corporate Social Responsibility has a long legacy dating back to Carnegie and his libraries and often takes shape as Corporate Cultural Responsibility. Corporations, whether through sponsorship of artful architectural programs or public programming, need to re-evaluate their efforts through the lenses of contemporary social and economic concerns. Today arts benefactors have an even more urgent task to focus on equity, sustainability, diversity, and social justice as audiences and communities demand a broad change in exhibition and performance content. Bzdak’s timely investigation of numerous case studies through published literature and first-hand research codifies, questions, and synthesizes the companies’ own views towards social responsibility as they fully realize that the public is their prime vocal critic."

Nina Rappaport, author Vertical Urban Factory and publications director Yale School of Architecture. New York, New York US

"The time of the pandemic has shown how important art and culture is for humanity and what is missing without it. Although business and managers have always been involved in supporting the arts, a systematic and structured approach to corporate cultural responsibility is missing. In Corporate Cultural Responsibility: How Business Can Support Art, Design and Culture, Michael Bzdak offers a compelling and comprehensive framework that is informed by both, practice and theory. For readers, starting from students to global managers, the book will initiate an inspiring journey to redefine the relationship between business and the arts."

Georg von Schnurbein, Professor for Philanthropy Studies, Center for Philanthropy Studies (CEPS), University of Basel, Switzerland 

"Written during a time when art and industry found themselves taking on new forms to adapt to the insecurity and uncertainty that a global crises delivered, this book revives the relationship between the arts and commerce and sets out a blueprint that contributes directly to the business of the sustainability agenda. Going forward from the 2020 pandemic we need a profound change in the way that societal systems behave and one of the most significant　 barometers of systems are corporations. Michael Bzdak throws a revolutionary idea onto the table at the start of this book, when he asks the question -what if there were an index that measured how much humanity a CEO embraced during his/her tenure as a leader? Culture could be this indicator and Corporate Cultural Responsibility could deliver to the purpose of companies to more effectively and fully engage all their stakeholders in value creation. Corporate Cultural Responsibility could enable the ambitions of the United Nations Year of Creative Economy for Sustainable Development to become embedded into the practice of doing and being business, bringing forward the profound change that is needed to cross disciplines, and bring humanity into the centre of business. Michael Bzdak brings his in-depth appreciation of, and knowledge about the arts and his expert business leadership and strategy management to draw together a work that is a form of art. It is crafted together, spanning geographies, modalities and time, it draws together materials that have been separated. It is prescient,　 we need this new relationship between art and commerce to allow us to chart out our way forward in this time of change."
Professor Liz Grant FRSE, FRCPE, MFPH, Assistant Principal and Director Global Health Academy, Co-Director Global Compassion Initiative, University of Edinburgh, Scotland

"As our world becomes more globalized and complex, businesses should take on more diverse roles, especially ones that promotes social justice through the arts. The Nobel Prize winner in economics, Daniel Kahneman, makes the distinction between Econs and Humans. Econs are derived from the University of Chicago's model of human nature, that man and markets are wholly rational. This is reflected collectively by corporations devoted to their shareholders as the sole stakeholders of value with a vision of maximizing profit. Not only does Kahneman's research disabuse us of this model, but he calls for a more nuanced alternative. The arts and humanities have been devalued in the academy by the ascendence of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) disciplines; in the corporate world this is reflected in the tendency to embrace the Chicago school’s narrow focus on stockholders as the sole stakeholders. Michael Bzdak in this book demonstrates the need for a more expansive model of corporate responsibilities to multiple stakeholders. He argues for a robust relationships(intercourse) between corporations and the arts. This expanded vision of corporate responsibility has a holistic appeal that addresses the ills of society, the need for cultural transformation, and the call for social justice."

Corporate Cultural Responsibility

'In the era of globalization, multinational corporations, increasingly complex healthcare systems and the massively resourced wars on drugs and terror, this welcome publication addresses vital questions: how does power corrupt, is it the norm to be susceptible to arrogance with success, how should we vet, facilitate and govern our leaders?'
- Prof. George Ikkos, President Royal Society of Medicine Psychiatry Section 2012-13

'The exercise of power can be associated with overconfidence, excessive narcissism and hubris. Such behaviours will have toxic effects for individual leaders and their organisations. This book is timely in offering a pragmatic inter-disciplinary approach to leadership pathologies by authoritative contributors in raising awareness and promoting evidence based research.'
- Prof. Nick Bouras, Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry, King's College London

'This important book searches for causes of personal failure within the individual's psyche. It makes the case for personal development and careful preparation for positions of high responsibility. Its message for tomorrow's leaders is: the Sun is not your problem; it is how well prepared you are for the heat. This is as much up to you as it is to your mentors. A reading of this book will help.'
- Sir Bob Reid, Chairman ICE Futures and ICE Clear Europe. Former Chairman and Chief Executive, Shell UK Limited; former Chairman British Rail; former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Scotland

"This is a wonderfully revealing account of a series of life-changing collisions between a young writer (Rumaker), an older writer (Duncan), a still older mentor for both (Charles Olson), a city (San Francisco), and an important era in American literature (the 1950s), when it was being turned upside down by the individuals and their friends. It's also a tender and intelligent account of a young man's coming to grips with being gay in the midst of this upheaval. Much more than memir; it's history."&mdash;Russell Banks"Robert Duncan in San Francisco offers a surprising portrait of a mentor in all his witty, wicked, luminous, and vulnerable complexity. Straddling the lines of memoir and cultural history, Michael Rumaker gives a rare and delightful view of Duncan at home in the gay community while also documenting the struggles of that community in 1950s America."&mdash;Lisa Jarnot, author of Robert Duncan, The Ambassador from Venus"In this fine memoir of his 16 months in San Francisco, Rumaker learns may lessons about being at home with who he is, in what he calls 'Robert's city.'"&mdash;Joanne Kyger"[Robert Duncan in San Francisco] looks at the intriguing relationship between the famous, their fans and the soon-to-be famous."&mdash;San Francisco Chronicle"A harrowing picture of what life was like for a homosexual man in San Francisco before the Castro became the Castro."&mdash;Truthout"This expanded edition of a local classic is not only a portrait of the S.F. Renaissance poet, but also a glimpse of pre-Stonewall gay life in the late-1950s. Author Michael Rumaker knew Duncan, and he shares the good with the bad, set against legendary North Beach haunts."&mdash;SF Weekly"Robert Duncan in San Francisco is a one-of-a-kind glimpse into Duncan's life, written by Michael Rumaker, one of the rare firsthand chroniclers of the pre-Stonewall era of gay culture."&mdash;Bookslut" . . . an intriguing view of the city during the pre-Stonewall era. Of particular interest are previously unpublished letters between Rumaker and Duncan."&mdash;San Jose Mercury News"[Robert] Duncan was ahead of his time and his frank homosexuality inspired [author Michael] Rumaker to embrace his own. Robert Duncan in San Francisco stands with books like Christopher Isherwood's A Single Man as important works on gay liberation."&mdash;KCET L.A. Letters" . . . wonderful and exuberant yet Rumaker, outlining his friendship with Duncan and his associations with his crowd . . . reveals the dark side of San Francisco in the 1950s and 60s."&mdash;Beat Scene Magazine"This is a book that we all should want to read to remind us of from where we came and realize that we would be nowhere if those who came before us did not speak up."&mdash;Amos Lassen, activist

'The delivery of policing in any democratic society presents a critical test of those democratic systems and civic institutions that seek to provide security for citizens and to protect those who are vulnerable or marginalised. Criminology for the Police is the first book to interrogate this enduring tension and competing interpretations of the relationship between crime and policing in the context of the College of Policing’s Police Education Qualifications Framework. The book introduces key ideas and concepts that underpin our understanding of crime as well as the design and delivery of twenty-first century policing and assesses their implications for those tasked with front-line policing. The book also outlines the growing importance of data and knowledge generation to the contemporary policing landscape and introduces readers to the basic skills required to use research and data to understand dynamic and complex challenges and improve the delivery of policing.'Baroness Helena Kennedy
'The relationship between academic and policing is not new, but the introduction of the PEQF is a game changer and thousands of new recruits into the police are already finding themselves engaged in academic studies of policing that they might not have expected to be part of their role. This book helps these officers navigate their way through various theories and concepts by drawing out the different ways in which criminology informs our understanding of policing. Importantly, the authors remind us that criminology encompasses a diverse range of perspectives, and they focus on making the appropriate links between different criminological voices and the relevant aspects of policing.'Dominic Wood Head of the School of Law, Policing and Social Sciences at Canterbury Christchurch University

'This series is the comprehensive resource we have been waiting for to enable new generations of budding psychologists, and all those who concern themselves with how we might live, to find their way to a just appreciation of what it might be to understand the myriad ways a human being can be a person among persons.' – Rom Harré, Linacre College, University of Oxford, UK, and the Psychology Department, Georgetown University, USA
'This is a daring and necessary book from a key advocate of discourse analysis in psychology. Ian Parker effortlessly weaves an accessible outline of the field of discourse analysis in psychology and a radical argument ‘for’ and ‘against’ its use as a critical tool. This is an inspirational call for researchers to shape a different path for discourse analysis by connecting it with psychoanalysis and political and psychological culture – a call that hopefully will help transform both critical and mainstream psychology, as well as the practice of discourse analysis itself.' – Cristian Tileagă, Department of Social Sciences, Loughborough University, UK
