DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe United States is the world leader in incarceration. It incarcerates individuals at a higher rate and in higher numbers, than any other country. The total number of prisoners held under the jurisdiction of state and federal correctional authorities as of December 31, 2015, were 1,526,800 - according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. There are more people with mental illnesses in the U.S. criminal justice system as compared to those in the general population. It is estimated that in the USA, one in five incarcerated persons is afflicted with a major psychiatric illness. These inmates often find the prison health systems inappropriate for continuing treatment. Invariably, their mental health deteriorates during incarceration. On release, they end up facing tough barriers to community integration. Spending time in the prison systems in the USA is also be associated with several mental health issues, in otherwise 'psychologically normal' inmates - as the author noticed during his incarceration. These disturbed inmates are unable to vent their distress and/or get help. Emotional instability in prison may make them more prone to the 'prison incarceration syndrome', upon release. The risk of recidivism also rises. These inmates however, do not seek help and usually suffer in silence. This book provides some self-help pathways to achieve better emotional stability, when incarcerated. Inspirational quotes give insight into the thoughts and teachings of very wise people. These individuals have experienced and weathered extreme situations in life, both good and bad. Their quotes contain nuggets about their experiences during these emotional upheavals. You have veered off your intended track in life - these motivational sayings will help you get back on track. Positive affirmations help remove your negative software in the brain and replace it with positive qualities. This re-writing is associated with a re-wiring in the brain - a process known as 'neuroplasty'. With repetition, the positive changes become permanent. As a result, you improve your self-esteem, develop more self-confidence and become emotionally stable. You become a more loving, caring and a friendlier person. Positive thinking also impacts your physical health - you become physically more active. Positive affirmations also reinforce the positive characteristics that you already possess.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Dark Side of Emotional Labour explores the work that the rest of society would rather not think about, the often unseen work that is emotionally disturbing, exhausting, upsetting, and stigmatising. This is work that is simultaneously undesirable and rewarding, work whose tasks are eschewed and yet necessary for the effective function of individual organisations and society at large. Diverse and challenging, this book examines how workers such as the doorman, the HR manager, the waiter and the doctor’s receptionist experience verbal aggression and intimidation; how the prison officer and home carer respond to the emotions associated with physical violence, and; how the Samaritan, banker and veterinarian deal in death and despair. It also considers how different individuals develop the emotional capital necessary to cope with the dark side of emotional labour, and how individuals can make sense of, and come to take satisfaction and pride in, such difficult work. Finally, the book considers what is to be done with darker emotional work, both in terms of the management and care of those labouring on the dark side. Challenging and original, this book gives a voice to those who undertake the most demanding work on our behalf. It will be of interest to researchers and students of organisation studies and its related fields, and to every one of us who is called on to work or manage on the Dark Side.

I loved it!” ~ Kristen Callihan, USA Today bestselling author HE SEETHES WITH RAW POWER THE FIRST TIME I SEE HIM—pure menace and rippling muscles in shackles. He’s dangerous. He’s wild. He’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. So I hide behind my prim glasses and my book like I always do, because I have secrets, too. Then he shows up in the prison writing class I have to teach and he blows me away with his honesty. He tells me secrets in his stories, and it's getting harder to hide mine. I shiver when he gets too close, with only the cuffs and the bars and the guards holding him back. At night, I can’t stop thinking about him. But that’s the thing about an animal in a cage—you never know when he’ll bite. He might use you to escape. He might even pull you into a forest and hold a hand over your mouth, so you can’t call for the cops. He might make you come so hard, you can’t think. And you might crave him more than your next breath. **************** "Sexy, dark and thrilling. I loved every second!" ~ Katie Reus, New York Times bestselling author

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis comprehensive volume explores various forms of violence in health care settings. Using a broad range of critical approaches in the field of anthropology, cultural studies, gender studies, political philosophy and sociology, it examines violence following three definite yet interrelated streams: institutional and managerial violence against health care workers or patients; horizontal violence amongst health care providers and finally, patients' violence towards health care providers. Drawing together the latest research from Australia, Canada, the UK, and the US, (Re)Thinking Violence in Health Care Settings engages with the work of critical theorists such as Bourdieu, Butler, Foucault, Latour, and Zizek, amongst others, to address the issue of violence and theorise its workings in creative and controversial ways. As such, it will be of interest to sociologists and anthropologists with research expertise in health, medicine, violence and organisations, as well as to health care professionals.
