The Betrayal Bond
Author: Patrick Carnes
Publisher: Health Communications Incorporated
ISBN: 0757318231
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Some really great books just keep getting better! For seventeen years The Betrayal Bond has been the primary source for therapists and patients wrestling the effects of emotional pain and harm caused by exploitation from someone they trusted. Divorce, litigation, incest and child abuse, domestic violence, kidnapping, professional exploitation and religious abuse are all areas of trauma bonding. These are situations and relationships of incredible intensity or importance lend themselves more easily to an exploitation of trust or power. In The Betrayal Bond, Dr. Carnes presents an in-depth study of these relationships; why they form, who is most susceptible, and how they become so powerful. Dr. Carnes also gives a clear explanation of the bond that compels people to tolerate the intolerable, and for the first time, maps out the brain connection that makes being with hurtful people comparable to 'a drug of choice.' Most importantly, Carnes provides practical steps to identify compulsive attachment patterns and ultimately to change or end them for good. This new edition includes: New science for understanding how our brains can make a prison of bad relationships New assessments and insights based on 50,000 research participants A new section utilizing the latest findings in attachment research and narrative therapy to concretely rewrite and rescript bad experiences A redefinition of the factors contributing to addictive relationships

American Bonds
Author: Sarah L. Quinn
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691185611
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
How the American government has long used financial credit programs to create economic opportunities Federal housing finance policy and mortgage-backed securities have gained widespread attention in recent years because of the 2008 financial crisis, but issues of government credit have been part of American life since the nation’s founding. From the 1780s, when a watershed national land credit policy was established, to the postwar foundations of our current housing finance system, American Bonds examines the evolution of securitization and federal credit programs. Sarah Quinn shows that since the Westward expansion, the U.S. government has used financial markets to manage America’s complex social divides, and politicians and officials across the political spectrum have turned to land sales, home ownership, and credit to provide economic opportunity without the appearance of market intervention or direct wealth redistribution. Highly technical systems, securitization, and credit programs have been fundamental to how Americans determined what they could and should owe one another. Over time, government officials embraced credit as a political tool that allowed them to navigate an increasingly complex and fractured political system, affirming the government’s role as a consequential and creative market participant. Neither intermittent nor marginal, credit programs supported the growth of powerful industries, from railroads and farms to housing and finance; have been used for disaster relief, foreign policy, and military efforts; and were promoters of amortized mortgages, lending abroad, venture capital investment, and mortgage securitization. Illuminating America’s market-heavy social policies, American Bonds illustrates how political institutions became involved in the nation’s lending practices.

Tracing Slavery
Author: Markus Balkenhol
Publisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 1800731612
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
Looking at the ways in which the memory of slavery affects present-day relations in Amsterdam, this ethnographic account reveals a paradox: while there is growing official attention to the country’s slavery past (monuments, festivals, ritual occasions), many interlocutors showed little interest in the topic. Developing the notion of “trace” as a seminal notion to explore this paradox, this book follows the issue of slavery in everyday realities and offers a fine-grained ethnography of how people refer to this past – often in almost unconscious ways – and weave it into their perceptions of present-day issues.

Chains of Finance

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
This book suggests that investment decisions cannot be understood by focusing on isolated investors. Rather, most of their money flows through a chain: a sequence of intermediaries that 'sit between' savers and companies/governments. It argues that investment management is shaped by the opportunities and constraints that this chain creates.

Jessica has never submitted to anyone and as aroused as the idea makes her, she can't easily give over her control to this stranger. The dungeon master isn't exactly a stranger. He's her boss. Ryan is shocked to learn Jessica plans to visit Pleasure Palace and he's not about to let the opportunity pass him by. For years, he's hidden his BDSM lifestyle and his attraction to her. Now wearing the mask of the dungeon master, he will reveal both as he introduces Jessica to the delights of his domination. Before the end of the evening, he plans to have her on her knees...and his forever. Torrid Tarot - All Chained Up By Brynn Paulin On the run from a stalker, Keera has carefully hidden her attraction to Theo, knowing surrendering to her lust isn't an option. She can't put him in danger. Theo, however, is determined to take the choice from her hands. For months, he's studied her and he has a few secrets of his own. The biggest is his D/s lifestyle. He's a Dom without a submissive, but he's not interested in anyone but Keera. After a surprise night of passion, she consents to be his. But one minute she's there, the next she's gone and on the run again. Theo is determined to bring her back to his side where he can protect her. Then he'll keep her there forever, wrapped in the chains of his love. Torrid Tarot - Master Me By Brynn Paulin The Cress brothers from All Chained Upand On Your Kneesare back. Ana knows she's a submissive but hasn't ever found a real Dominant. Bad boys had never lived up to their reputations and most Doms had turned out to be nothing more than bullies. When her longtime friend Max surprises her by turning her over his knee for the spanking she's always wanted, her body explodes with long-repressed desire. Max knows it's time to stop hiding his lifestyle from Ana. It might destroy their friendship but he can't watch her destroy herself instead. He offers to temporarily train her then help her find a Dom. But now that she's kneeling at his feet, they both discover exactly what she's needed all these years. Max's mastery will be much more than temporary. Torrid Tarot - Gentle Control By Brynn Paulin The Cress brothers are back and bad boy Josh Cress is ready to claim his woman. But bad boys aren't always what they're expected to be. A Dom by nature, Josh has been without a submissive for too long. He's craved the woman who once knelt to him but has been denied him for eight long years. When she returns seeking his forgiveness so she can bring closure to their relationship, he offers her a bargain instead. He wants her to be his for two weeks, under his mastery. Tempest knows she should refuse, but she can't say no. Josh might have a rough exterior, but she knows the gentle Dom who resides within. She only hopes two weeks will quench the desire that has tormented her since they parted. Time, however, is not theirs. The demons from their past won't wait.
