Book Description
A galvanizing call to end family-based anti-female violence, shaming, and shunning--stories and practices for healing from Family Mobbing. “Family Mobbing” is a strategic process of power and control. When daughters are mobbed, they’re not just shunned, attacked, or slandered: they’re also subjugated by a system of family rules that reinforces patriarchal oppression. What makes mobbing so insidious--and so under-reported--is that here, family itself is the site of violence, trauma, and shame. Family violence against girls and women is still legal--even in America, and even now. Across cultures, girls and women may be shunned or shamed, emotionally mistreated, or physically attacked by their families to maintain status, social conventions, and the family’s own standing within their community. Family Mobbing tactics can include slander, gossip, rejection, beatings, anti-Queer violence, and even honor killings, child marriages, and forced abortion. Author Stephanie Sellers--herself a survivor--explores the global phenomenon of Family Mobbing, revealing the secrets and patterns that play out behind closed doors and remain unseen, unacknowledged, and unaddressed. She discusses: Why families and communities alienate members of their groups Why women, girls, and LGBTQIA2S+ people are at higher risk of mobbing The ramifications of raising daughters to be submissive How (and why) mothers and grandmothers perpetuate cycles of Family Mobbing against their daughters How to move on after being mobbed, shunned, or shamed Firsthand accounts from people all over the world who were mobbed by their families How different religious worldviews inform the practice and perpetuation of Family Mobbing Sellers offers stories, definitions, and solutions to help women, girls, and people of all genders who have been mobbed by their families. She remembers and honors vast, ancient traditions that recognize female sanctity and personhood as paths forward to healing, with a focus on the practices and worldviews of Mother-first cultures that can illuminate the path toward honoring, valuing, and respecting daughters.

Becoming One
Author: Sarah E. Olson
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780990748908
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
This is the updated 2014 edition of the 1997 paperback "Becoming One: A Story of Triumph Over Multiple Personality Disorder," ISBN 978-0962387982, by Sarah E. Olson. It includes a 2014 Addendum, a new Foreword by Howard Asher, Psy.D, a new resources page, and a complete index. Two little girls, the author and her sister, were routinely terrorized and assaulted over a period of years by a family friend. One grew up closed and withdrawn, the other angry, self-destructive, and dissociated. Most painful of all, their common suffering resulted in estrangement from each other. "Becoming One" began as Sarah Olson's attempt to provide a written account of her memories for her sister as a means of reconciliation and healing. "Becoming One" documents Sarah's four-year process of discovery and recovery from Dissociative Identity Disorder. Utilizing letters she wrote to her therapist, Howard Asher, Psy.D, and transcripts from key audiotaped therapy sessions, Sarah created a book which offers a model of healing and hope to survivors of childhood sexual abuse, whether or not they personally experience dissociation. The author's courage and generosity in candidly sharing her remarkable experiences provides important insights into the world of dissociation. This book is a highly personal look into an individual life, the dynamics of a troubled family, and the healing power of the therapeutic process. Praise for "Becoming One" (from the 1997 edition, ISBN 978-0962387982, format: paperback): "Sarah Olson has written a fascinating account of her amazing healing journey and the mind's creative capacity to surmount unimaginable horror. Everyone can benefit from this inspiring book." - Lynne D. Finney, J.D., M.S.W., Author of "Reach for the Rainbow: Advanced Healing for Survivors of Sexual Abuse" ""Becoming One" is a hopeful book which both dignifies people with Dissociative Identity Disorder, and sensitizes the rest of us to what that means and what can be done. Highly recommended." - Midwest Book Review "Piecing Sarah back together is like piecing a puzzle or mosaic together. Once all the pieces are in place, you are left with a beautiful image. Sterling work." - BeatleBangs1964 VINE VOICE "This book gives incredible insight into the work required by both the therapist and the patient with DID. ... I recommend "Becoming One" for both therapists and for those who continue to suffer from Dissociative Identity Disorder." - Meowzer "Wonderful book for a reference for my classes." - Wild Blue "In process myself and working through much of what Sarah describes, I could only say that I feel validated and believed, and perhaps for the first time, understood, by someone else." - raysemma

Native American Women's Studies
Author: Stephanie A. Sellers
Publisher: Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
"This introduction to the fundamentals of Native American women's studies first looks at several definitive topics created by the western cultural notion of feminism, and western historical and religious perspectives on women. These include ecofeminism, gender roles and work, notions of power, essentialism, women's leadership, sexualities, and spirituality in light of gender. The book then discusses these concepts and their history from a traditional Native American point of view. Foremost among the questions that Native American Women's Studies addresses are; How have Native American women governed their nations? How was/is the divine creatrix expressed in Native American social systems? Most significantly, this book sheds light on the radical differences between the indigenous understanding of human experience in terms of gender, and that held and created by western culture."--BOOK JACKET.
