Nordic Childhoods 1700–1960: From Folk Beliefs to Pippi Longstocking (Studies in Childhood, 1700 to the Present)
by Reidar Aasgaard Marcia Bunge Merethe RoosThis volume strengthens interest and research in the fields of both Childhood Studies and Nordic Studies by exploring conceptions of children and childhood in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden). Although some books have been written about the history of childhood in these countries, few are multidisciplinary, focus on this region as a whole, or are available in English. This volume contains essays by scholars from the fields of literature, history, theology, religious studies, intellectual history, cultural studies, Scandinavian studies, education, music, and art history. Contributors study the history of childhood in a wide variety of sources, such as folk and fairy tales, legal codes, religious texts, essays on education, letters, sermons, speeches, hymns, paintings, novels, and school essays written by children themselves. They also examine texts intended specifically for children, including text books, catechisms, newspapers, songbooks, and children’s literature. By bringing together scholars from multiple disciplines who raise distinctive questions about childhood and take into account a wide range of sources, the book offers a fresh and substantive contribution to the history of childhood in the Nordic countries between 1700 and 1960. The volume also helps readers trace the historical roots of the internationally recognized practices and policies regarding child welfare within the Nordic countries today and prompts readers from any country to reflect on their own conceptions of and commitments to children.
Nordic Joyce
by Mary LawtonThis book compares the interrelationship of Irish writer James Joyce's literary works and specific Nordic literature in translation, employing an onomastic and etymological framework. It elucidates the importance of these frequent Scandinavian associations and how they inform and shape his literary work. The development of Joyce's work shows a sustained interest in contemporary Nordic and Old Norse medieval literature. By analysing Joyce's works and paratexts alongside a cross-section of important texts - Dubliners (1907) with Hans Christian Andersen's "Lykkens Kalosker" ("The Goloshes of Fortune") and "Den Lille Havfrue" ("The Little Sea Maid"), Exiles (1914) with Henrik Ibsen's When We Dead Awaken (1899), and specific medieval writing (Old Norse sagas and poetry) with Joyce's critical essays and later works, including Ulysses and Finnegans Wake - this book shows that Joyce's use of Nordic material in his writing constitutes a more extensive set of connections than previously thought.

Normal Child And Adolescent Development: A Psychodynamic Primer
by Pamela Meersand Karen J. GilmoreVideo Included! Unique in its integrative approach, Normal Child and Adolescent Development: A Psychodynamic Primer is a thorough introduction to how development unfolds as a complex transactional process progressing through the first three decades of life. The book traces development from the prenatal period to emerging adulthood and embraces a nonlinear multisystem approach while maintaining the touchstones of traditional developmental phases. The authors maintain that all dynamically oriented practitioners use developmental theories as a framework for understanding their patients and for helping their patients understand themselves. A developmental scaffolding organizes the complexity of each patient's life story and supports the gradual process of psychodynamic exploration and meaning making. Illustrated with vibrant clinical vignettes and online video illustrations that exemplify the various developmental stages in a rich and easily recognizable way, Normal Child and Adolescent Development: A Psychodynamic Primer is the only available text on human development from a psychodynamic point of view, and thus fills a critical gap by providing a contemporary, integrative, and psychodynamic approach to development.
