This how-to guidebook by teachers at Boston Collegiate Charter School (formerly known as South Boston Harbor Academy Charter School) outlines five underlying goals achieved through after-school learning and how this program addresses those goals. Topics include the conditions that help make a supportive after-school environment, the enforcement program to encourage students to take repsonsibility for their work, and various safety nets that offer concentrated, individual teaching time. This book highlights an extracurricular program that combines highly effective tutoring time and academic support with a more relaxed atmosphere that allows students to interact with teachers as role models in a less structured setting.

This book is about babies and mothers, but also about fathers, adolescents, lovers and others. It's about a child's universe and families, especially mothers, who struggle to survive. Stephen J. Costello, Ph.D., writes with wit and wisdom; he offers his observations with insight and intrigue. He explores, among other themes, eighteen reasons why mothers hate their babies, even as they love them. It's a book of aphorisms intended for everyone because childhood experiences affect us all. Fortunately, they stop us from ever becoming adults. A lecturer in philosophy and psychology (and a former analyst trained in infant observation), Dr. Costello draws on a wealth of material; he shares the reflections of philosophers and psychoanalysts on a subject he clearly finds fascinating. He is of the strong belief that these unique and often controversial thoughts should be read by parents and non-parents alike. His other publications include The Irish Soul: In Dialogue and The Pale Criminal: Psychoanalytic Perspectives. He has several other books forthcoming, including one on the ethics of happiness and another on the philosophy and psychology of lying. He is a member of the Irish Philosophical Society and the Viktor Frankl Institute of Logotherapy. Stephen J. Costello lives in Dublin, Ireland.

This book is a philosophical study of the Freudian psychoanalysis of religion from a hermeneutical perspective. Drawing on the work of Paul Ricoeur, the twentieth-century French phenomenologist, the author offers a sustained and rigorous reflection on Freud’s critique of Christian religion and raises the pertinent question of whether psychoanalysis should be conceived of as a form of hermeneutics. To this end, the author details the often acrimonious debates and discussions that took place between Ricoeur and Jacques Lacan, as well as drawing on the work of Slavoj Žižek on this intriguing subject, with Lacan and Žižek resisting any attempt to interpret psychoanalysis along the lines of hermeneutics. Having brought Ricoeur’s reflections to bear on both Freud and Lacan, the author next engages with the Thomist metaphysical tradition. He deals especially with Aquinas’ famous five arguments for the existence of God, the relevance of which becomes apparent in the last chapter when the author sheds a Lacanian light on Thomas’ mystical experience. The author argues that the ‘real’ God – the God of Thomas’ experience – pertains to the (Lacanian) order of the Real. The book concludes with a précis on the beauty of belief.
