The provoked wife: The life and times of Susannah Cibber

NASH, MARY

Little,Brown

The three Persever children of While Mr. Coverlet Was Away (1958) and Mrs. Coverlet is Magicians (1961) continue to throw out laughs as they leave home to go on a rampage in New York City. Their cat, Nervous, now belongs to the wealthy Mrs. Dextrose-Chesapeake, but disappeared mysteriously from a cat show. Hot on the trail of the cat burglar is Toad, the youngest of the Persevers, and he is enthusiastically assisted by the somewhat priggish Molly and by Malcolm, Who keeps struggling with the innuendoes of his complex: conscience. The three make good use of playground possibilities of Mrs. D-C's elegant brownstone, zipping up and down the bird-cage style elevator, or, alternately, the dumb waiter. Nervous is retrieved under circumstances as artificial as one of neighbor Marcia Mellow's soapy TV shows to complete a story that has more chuckleability than credibility. ( On line review)

This wide-ranging collection of essays offers valuable insights into the cultural issues involved in the practical application of social work theories. Leading contributors explore the challenges faced by indigenous populations and ethnic minority groups, examining how they can gain control over their position as minority populations, and offering valuable guidance on cross-cultural work.
The direct implementation of four established theoretical approaches - ecological systems, community development, strengths-based approaches and attachment theories - is shown in a variety of contexts, including mental health care, trauma counselling and child protection. Using community development work in Australia and New Zealand as a case study, the contributors also advocate using these approaches in work with migrants and refugees.
Social Work Theories in Action recognizes the importance of drawing on the strengths of families, individuals and communities and offers theoretical perspectives that can be applied in everyday work situations. It is essential reading for social and community workers, mental health professionals and social work students.
