Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One of NPR's Best Books of 2020, and winner of the 2020 Independent Publisher Awards' gold medal for LGBTQ+ nonfiction, Raechel Anne Jolie's blazing memoir is now available in paperback. Raechel Anne Jolie's early life in a working-class Cleveland exurb was full of race cars, Budweiser-drinking men, and the women who loved them. When she was four, her life changed forever when her father came home from work, took the garbage out to the curb, and was hit by a drunk driver, suffering a debilitating brain injury. Rust Belt Femme is the story of her survival. Fearlessly honest, wry, and tender, Jolie digs into both the pain of past traumas and the joy of teenaged discovery to craft a love letter to the brassy, big-haired women who raised her and the 90s alternative culture that shaped her into who she is today: a queer femme with PTSD and a deep love of the Midwest. Personal and political; lyrical and fierce, Rust Belt Femme speaks to anyone who was once a misfit kid trying to find their place in the world.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Fascinating history . . . A passionate and well-informed study on the importance of improving inclusiveness in mental health evaluations.' ?Kirkus Reviews In a clear, empathetic style, Jonathan Foiles, author of the critically acclaimed This City Is Killing Me, takes us through troubling examples of bias in mental health work. Placing them in context of past blunders in the history of psychiatry and the DSM, he looks closely at questions that lay bare the intersections between mental health care, race, gender, and sexuality: - Why are women more likely to be labeled borderline personalities - Are transgender patients being treated today like gay patients were in the past - Has 'protest psychosis,' a term used to diagnose Black men during the civil rights era, simply been renamed schizoaffective disorder - How different is our current label of 'intellectual disability' from the history of eugenics - What does it actually mean to be diagnosed with a 'mental illness' This slim but wide-ranging collection of essays wrestles with these questions and offers potential ways forward in a world where mental health diagnoses can be helpful, but not necessarily absolute. It is a pragmatic and sympathetic guide to how we might craft a better and more just therapeutic future for all people. …
