For a Negro, there’s no difference between the North and South. There’s just a difference in the way they castrate you. But the fact of the castration is the American fact.” – James Baldwin, I Am Not Your Negro.

What I took issue with was the manifest part. I agree that if the acts laid out occurred, the result would be as fortuitous as Blow describes. I disagree that it is realistic to assume great masses of people would enact the anti-Great Migration and return south toward their ancestral homes. In addition, she cites an episode involving Blow’s son who, at the time (2015), was a student at Yale, who had been stopped at gunpoint by a university police officer. “This is where Blow is at his best.” It’s an interesting and insightful read, and certainly helps to give a different perspective on the “monsters” who commit violent crime. Looking behind the newspaper headlines and into the psyche of those imprisoned in secure hospitals, to see the person rather than the perpetrator. Knygoje į nusikaltėlius žvelgiama iš gydytojos psichiatrės G. Adshead perspektyvos. Jos draugė dramaturgė E. Horne į istorijas įterpė kultūrinių sąsajų, palyginimų su meno kūriniais – tai leido tekstui skambėti nepernelyg moksliškai. He answers this question: “The possession of real statewide political power in the South could radically alter the architecture of oppression in this country” (p. 113).Su manimi viskas pavyko – sugebėjau pro žiaurumo uždanga įžvelgti žmogiškumą, išskyrus vieną labai jautrų atvejį.

Brother’s bestfriend will always get me in my feels. I don’t quite get why they didn’t just start dating before doing the whole fake dating thing tho. They obviously liked each other and i think he said it quite a few times as well … I’m not one to give 5 stars, but this book kept me wanting to read more and more. I finished it in two days. I highly recommend it and I did give it 5 stars since I would recommend my friends to read it. What I need to prepare for the full college experience is someone to teach me what to do in bed. Though I hate to admit defeat, this is one accolade I can’t earn on my own. Unbeknownst to Tatum, Cooper has been attracted to Tatum for a while but hasn't acted on it because she's been on the "do not touch" list by his best friend and Tatum's brother. The only thing I disliked was the use of TikTok (The MMC has a TikTok acc and a large following, and they make couple content at one point)

This book follows Tatum and Cooper. Tatum is determined to lose her virginity and learn everything she can about sex before starting college. She asks her neighbor/brother’s best friend/town heartthrob to help her by being her sex tutor. Nusikaltėlių istorijų eskalavimas nėra etiškai teisingas, nes ilgainiui jos populiarina ir netiesiogiai normalizuoja nusikalstamą elgesį, pagrindiniai jų veikėjai tampa komerciškai pelningais objektais, apie kuriuos kuriami didelio žiūrimumo sulaukiantys filmai ir serialai (pvz. kas dar nematė „Dahmer“?). O tuo tarpu jų aukos lieka pamirštos. drawing from her thirty years of experience in providing therapy to people in prisons and secure hospitals who have committed serious offenses, dr. gwen adshead provides fresh and surprising insights into violence and the mind. alongside doctor and patient, we discover what human cruelty means to perpetrators, experiencing firsthand how minds can change when the people some might label as “evil” are able to take responsibility for their life stories and get to know their own minds.

Tony, I think you’re brave enough to look at something really difficult”…”I’m not brave”. I looked into his eyes. “You don’t think so? Well, I experience you as brave. It takes courage to think about past violence… you’ve shown real courage.” Deeply moving . . . the most overwhelming feeling I had on finishing this book was of hope . . . Compassionate and fascinating.’

Brother’s best friend, fake dating, a little bit of tutelage under the hot boy next door? I mean why would you skip ANY of that? I gazed at him, this man who so wanted to talk and who felt things so deeply. I thought about how removed he was from the image I’d once had of the ruthless and unfeeling serial killer.

Moreover, there is – frankly – a hopelessness which pervades the narratives, and raises the awkward question – the elephant in the room – the burden upon society of attempted rehabilitation versus the cost of throwing away the key. As per usual, Veronica Eden’s writing was fast paced & captivating & I not only found myself relating to the characters but also anticipating what was yet to come!The Devil You Know is a MUST read if you love brother’s best friend trope. This book has intriguing characters that always captivate you and make you want to keep reading. I really enjoyed the plot of this book and how both characters developed. The chemistry they have is insane!! This collection of stories joins Nathan Filer’s excellent exploration of schizophrenia ( This Book Will Change Your Mind About Mental Health) and forensic psychologist Kerry Daynes’s wonderful The Dark Side of the Mind in using patient vignettes to illustrate both mental illnesses and our perception of those illnesses. The Devil You Know has a richly deserved place on that bookshelf. Adshead’s words are effortlessly readable and deeply moving. This is not just down to the patients’ stories themselves, but to Adshead’s honest and compassionate response to those stories, and her ability to write with such clarity and elegance around even the most distressing of narratives. How a therapist responds to their patient is an important part of the therapeutic process and Adshead experiences transient fear, sadness, irritation and even drowsiness during the course of her consultations, and each for a different reason.
