"Challenging Women" builds upon feminist analyses of psychology to look critically at the assumptions which underlie both psychology and feminism. Drawing upon current feminist research and theory, the authors explore key professional issues in psychology and its related disciplines. While opening up questions rather than imposing answers, they develop practical feminist interventions and contributions to these issues. "Challenging Women" examines a range of topics central to psychology as well as other clinical, educational and policy disciplines. These include sexual abuse, menstruation, feminist therapy, the regulation of mothering, the gendering of the "caring" professions, and women's safety. Throughout, the authors explore themes of: difference, power and reflexivity; the politics of research; the "cultural maleness" of psychological theory and teaching; and the relations between "race" and gender. "Challenging Women" is the first book to provide a systematic and mutual critique of feminism and psychology, and to explore the practical implications they have for each other. It should be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students of psychology, gender, women's studies, and the health and caring professions.

This book is one of three in a new series designed to equip MRCPsych candidates for their examination. The other two titles cover the Part II Clinical Topics paper and Part II Sciences Basic to Psychiatry paper. For the exam, strategy is as importantas knowledge and this series provides a unique way of addressing both.To be of any value an MCQ book must aim to teach as much as to test. All questions in these books are relevant to the MRCPsych syllabus and pitched at the right level of difficulty. In addition, they are based on substantial and diverse sources such as papers cited in the Recommended Reading Lists of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, major textbooks, key papers from leading psychiatric journals and articles recommended in seminars held at the Institute of Psychiatry. Explanations are given for most questions and notes and references to further reading are provided. All the papers have been audited by MRCPsych candidates and each question was scrutinized by over a dozen registrars for accuracy, ambiguity, relevance and difficulty. An introduction gives a clear explanation of the nature of the MRCPsych examination and the principles underlying question setting. Reassuring guidance on good study skills and examination technique is included since most candidates prove to be out of practice in both areas.

Bride's Mound: Gateway to Avalon celebrates one of Glastonbury's most important, but least known, mystical sites. The destination of sea-borne travelers from the West, Brides Mound is also the portal into the other world, that of Avalon, the Arthurian paradise. Like Isis, Bride is the Goddess of the Moon - to the Romans she was Minerva, to the Christians, St. Bridget. She is the swordsmith, the healer and the poet, and excels in each calling. Associated with Mary Magdalene, the Black Madonna and the Celtic festival of Imbolc, Bride is also the sister of the archangel Michael. Her colour is white like the lamb, and the snowdrop that symbolize her. Bride protects the young mother and the old sinner alike - she owns compassion and devotion. Today, she may have exchanged the mantle of Pisces for that of Aquarius, and become the independent, radical female.
