Graphic novels: true stories & non-fiction2021A Brief History of Ukrainian Feminism. Graphic novel
by Mykola Yabchenko
Feminism is a living phenomenon, but its history can and should be recorded. A number of serious works on the history of the women's movement and feminism have been published in Ukraine, but it is only recently that the history of Ukrainian feminism appeared in the form of a graphic novel. This book is our humble attempt to try and cover the vast history of Ukrainian feminism on a moderate number of pages. We have mentioned many outstanding personalities, but we have not mentioned even more names, for which we immediately apologise - after all, a lot has happened in 150 years and it’s hard to fit all into a relatively small graphic novel. This book may be of interest to those who have only recently become interested in feminism, as it is a brief introduction to the history of Ukrainian feminism. More experienced readers will be delighted to notice some additional details and stories to what they already know.

FictionOctober 2004Sweet Darusya
by Maria Matios
Sweet Darusya, Maria Matios’ best-known novel, has been rightly called "a tragedy matching the history of the 20th century", and Darusya herself is "an almost biblical figure". This “drama in three lives” has nothing unambiguous: neither characters nor circumstances nor resolution. There are no epoch-making people or events, heroes or villains, but, as one critic noted, "your heart breaks when you read this book." Sweet Darusya recreates the true spirit of the past through a family saga and touches upon topics that until now prevent a part of modern society from perceiving Ukrainian history without omissions, censorship and irritability. This unique view that Maria Matios offers in this novel, measures the essence of human urges, suffering, true love, and human nature in general. Authentic writing style, deep psychologism, and a complex plot that unfolds in reverse chronological order create a unique piece of prose.

October 2022From Dream to Trauma: Mental abuse in partnerships
by Caroline Wenzel
The level of domestic abuse has been increasing for years, but often only cases of physical abuse hit the headlines. Hardly anyone talks about the mental, or psychological, abuse that usually precedes a physical or sexual assault. Those affected do not usually recognise the destructive dynamic in their relationship until far too late. In this book, three case histories illustrate the typical forms of mental abuse in relationships. In addition, experts explain the topic from psychological, therapeutic, political and legal perspectives, and the head of a counselling centre for male victims of mental abuse also has his say. An important and startling book.

August 2020Seduced into Darkness
by Carrie Ishee
Seduced Into Darkness: Transcending My Psychiatrist's Sexual Abuse is a vivid and captivating story of hope for survivors of abuse as well as a case study in a skilled manipulator's tragic exploitation of his professional power.This poignant memoir chronicles the traumatic psychological abduction and sexual exploitation of depressed college student Carrie Tansey at the hands of her psychiatrist, Dr. Anthony Romano―thirty-one years her senior. For three years, their secret “affair” was carefully calculated and controlled by Romano, as Carrie's mental and emotional health continued to deteriorate, bringing her closer and closer to the edge.Their dual-relationship―clinical and clandestine―finally came to light when Carrie's suicide attempts landed her in a world-renowned psychiatric hospital. Gradually, she began to reclaim her power, reported Romano to the state licensing board, successfully sued him for malpractice, and testified before the state legislature to help pass a law aimed at curbing such abuses.As Carrie tells her tale, it is a journey paralleling that of the mythical archetype Persephone, the naive innocent who was abducted into darkness, reemerged and regenerated herself, then fearlessly returned to the prison she had fled, this time to help free others. Today, Carrie Ishee is a widely respected art therapist and life coach as well as a teacher specializing in the issues of ethics and boundaries for mental health professionals.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2022Psychoanalysis and the family in twentieth-century France
Françoise Dolto and her legacy
by Richard Bates, David Hopkin, Maire Cross, Jennifer Sessions
In the last quarter of the twentieth century, if French people had a parenting problem or dilemma there was one person they consulted above all: Françoise Dolto (1908-88). But who was Dolto? How did she achieve a position of such influence? What ideas did she communicate to the French public? This book connects the story of Dolto's rise to two broader histories: the dramatic growth of psychoanalysis in postwar France and the long-running debate over the family and the proper role of women in society. It shows that Dolto's continued reputation in France as a liberal and enlightened educational thinker is at best only partially deserved and that conservative and anti-feminist ideas often underpinned her prominent public interventions. While Dolto retains the status of a national treasure, her career has had far-reaching and sometimes harmful repercussions for French society, particularly in the treatment of autism.
