Abstract:
The research explores sibling relationships, and the ways in which they are shaped over the life course by family members, in families with a lifelong disability. In-depth, semistructured interviews were conducted with 15 family units including a parent, a sibling, and an adult sibling with a disability. The content analysis revealed five sibling relationship patterns: (a) “Not a child, but a parent caretaker”—the parent–surrogate sibling; (b) “We somehow grew apart”—the estranged sibling; (c) “It is important for me to maintain some kind of distance”—the bystander sibling; (d) “When there’s something they want to tell him, they always send me”—the mediator sibling; and (e) “I love him to death”—the friend sibling. These patterns of adult sibling relationships are discussed in relation to family dynamics, values, and legacies; recommendations for practice and research are made.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on family relationships, as several families have lost family members due to COVID-19 pandemic and become physically and emotionally estranged due to lockdown measures and critically economic periods. Our study contrasted two hypotheses: (1) family functioning changed notably before and after the COVID-19 pandemic initiation in terms of cohesion, flexibility, communication and satisfaction; (2) balanced families have a greater capacity to strictly comply with quarantine (i.e., social confinement), compared to unbalanced families. We performed an observational study comparing family functioning between two independent groups, evaluated before and during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Peru. A total of 7,980 participants were included in the study. For the first hypothesis, we found that, during the pandemic, families became more balanced in terms of cohesion (adjusted before-during mean difference or β1 = 1.4; 95% CI [1.0–1.7]) and flexibility (β2 = 2.0; 95% CI [1.6–2.4]), and families were less disengaged (β3 = −1.9; 95% CI [−2.3 to −1.5]) and chaotic (β4 = −2.9; 95% CI [−3.3 to −2.4]). Regarding the second hypothesis, we confirmed that families with balanced cohesion (adjusted prevalence ratio or aPR = 1.16; 95% CI [1.12–1.19) and flexibility (aPR = 1.23; 95% CI [1.18–1.27]) allowed greater compliance with quarantine restrictions; while disengaged (aPR = 0.91; 95% CI [0.88–0.93]) and chaotic families (aPR = 0.89; 95% CI [0.87–0.92]) were more likely to partially comply or not comply with the quarantine. Finally, family communication (aPR = 1.17; 95% CI [1.11–1.24]) and satisfaction (aPR = 1.18; 95% CI [1.11–1.25]) also played a role in favouring quarantine compliance. This new evidence enlightens the family systems theory while informing future interventions for improving compliance with quarantine measures in the context of social confinement.

Abstract:
This article examines Penn’s attitudes toward family as displayed in two books (Innocency with Her Open Face Presented and No Cross, No Crown) that he wrote in 1669 while incarcerated in the Tower of London. The examination of Penn’s use of certain biblical references printed in the margins (Mt. 10:37; Mt. 19:29) suggests that Penn used these to create a layered text (similar to twenty-first-century hypertext) that helped to communicate in a veiled, but fervent, fashion his strong estrangement from his own birth family. The use of these Scripture passages renders as credible an early tradition from William Sewel that Penn’s father (Sir William Penn) was complicit in ensuring his son’s imprisonment in the Tower. The pattern of usage also tends to corroborate the generally accepted view that father and son were reconciled in 1670, before the elder Penn’s death. Comparing Penn’s use of these biblical passages on family with those of other Quaker contemporaries, the article demonstrates that at least two other Quakers also demonstrated estrangement from family through use of these Scriptures, but also proposes that the lesser use of such Scripture passages from most travelling Quakers who seem not to have been estranged from their families could be explained by the writers’ desires not to hurt their families with the wounding implication that they were not valued by the author.

Abstract:
Abstract Combining narrative analysis with social network analysis, this article analyses the case of a young Swedish female who had been physically and sexually abused. We show how she became trapped in an abusive relationship at the age of fourteen years following social work intervention in her family home, and how she ultimately escaped from this abuse aged nineteen years. The analysis illustrates the significance of responses to interpersonal violence from the social networks that surround young people; responses that can both entrap them in abusive relationships by blaming them for their problems and enable them to escape abuse by recognising their strengths and facilitating their choices. The article argues that the case for social work approaches that envision young people’s social networks after protective interventions have been implemented. The article explains that such an approach has the potential to reconcile the competing challenges of being responsive to young people’s needs while anticipating the heightened risk of being exposed to sexual abuse young people face when estranged from their families or after their trust in professionals has been eroded.

Abstract:
This paper aims to reveal how a family quarrel plays a major role in disintegration ofthe families in Sam Shepard’s plays. From his earliest plays to one of his most recentworks Shepard has been depicting the American family. Shepard writes about thecomplicated relationships within the American family. Shepard explores the myths ofthe American family using his own style by varying the conventions of nineteenthcentury. The traditional American family in Shepard’s play are build of mainly withthree character types: the father (who used to be a drunkard), the estranged mother andthe torment son. In this paper, we are focusing on Shepard’s family trilogy to depictthe Western Culture. Shepard’s family trilogy includes Curse of the Starving Class(1976), Buried Child (1979), and True West (1980). Curse of the Starving Class - is aplay about American family psyche which leads to the family disintegration. BuriedChild - is a play which reflects the frustration among American people turning out tobe family quarrels. True West - this play is all about the rivalry between two brotherswho met each other after a period of five years time.

Abstract:
While most studies have attempted to identify the causes and consequences of adult children’s estrangement from their parents, this study focuses on a relatively unexplored topic -- factors associated with family relationships in which the adult child and parents reconcile after a period of estrangement. An online survey of 1360 parents who had experienced an estrangement from their adult child provided data concerning three constructs: (a) whether the parents were now still married, remarried, or divorced, (b) secure attachment ratings of self, other parent, and child, from the perspective of the responding parent, and (c) whether the estrangement was continuing or there had been a reconciliation. Parents who were still married described all family members as having a more secure model of attachment than did remarried or divorced parents. Also, continuous ratings of security of attachment by parents in families that had resolved the estrangement were higher than ratings by parents in which the estrangement was continuing. Two exploratory path models tested alternative hypotheses about how marital status and perceived security of attachment combined to differentiate between families in which the adult child reconciled, and families in which the adult child remained estranged. Model A did not find an indirect path leading from attachment security to marital status to reconciliation. Model B found a statistically significant indirect path leading from parents remaining married to higher levels of attachment security in their ratings of family members, to reconciliation rather than continued estrangement of the parent–child relationship. With data obtained at a single point in time, this study represents a first step toward exploring continuity or discontinuity in the relationship between the parents and between the parents and their adult child. Directions for further research and implications for clinical intervention to promote reconciliation are discussed.

Abstract:
France, Belgium and the Netherlands faced the same fundamental challenge in 1945. In spite of differences in institutional setting, chronology or demography, their experience of Nazi occupation had been traumatizing and humiliating. Their national reconstruction required a self-confident image of the recent past. Nonetheless, the contours of the policies of memory pursued in the three countries diverged in a striking measure. In the Netherlands, post-war governments deliberately constructed a forced national consensus around the myth of a unanimous resistance, at the expense of veterans’ movements and all forms of associative memory. However, the latter dominated the commemorations in France and Belgium, continuing a post-1918 tradition. The conflicts between different categories of war veterans and victims and between different political families characterized the conflicting memories in these two countries. Rather than a monolithic resistance myth, different memories of Nazi persecution were rivals for public attention. In France, neither de Gaulle nor the Communist party succeeded in monopolizing the heroic legacy of the resistance. In Belgium, the Royal question, the left–right divide and subsequently the regional tensions between French and Dutch speakers, estranged part of opinion from the memory of the resistance and even ended up favouring, in some quarters, the rehabilitation of collaboration with the Nazi occupier.

Abstract:
The work provides information on the emergency care for post-traumatic stress disorders complicated by psychosis. Emphasis is placed on cases of severe depression with suicidal manifestations and alcoholic complications with disorders of consciousness and psychosis. It is noted that in recent years, typical cases of post-traumatic stress disorder have often become more complicated and aggravated, because the debilitating nature of mental trauma persists in modern life due to military events. Therefore, in the clinical picture of psychogenic disorders, severe depressive states with suicidal tendencies can develop. In such cases, moodiness dominates, as well as episodes of significant melancholy that a patient experiences as torment, physical suffering. Ideas of self-accusation arise, which are closely related to the psychotraumatic situation and constitute the dominant content of a psychogenic complex. Patients blame themselves of the emerging trouble. Under the influence of such experiences, exacerbations develop with an increase in anxiety, hopelessness, suicidal thoughts with intentions and actions; sleep and appetite deteriorate, retardation, apathy, and indifference develop. Such conditions are more likely to occur in conditions of family trouble, in persons with weak personal psychological protection in a decreased tolerance to emotional stress, altered self-esteem. In other cases, patients with post-traumatic stress disorders become withdrawn, alienated, and spiteful. People can experience difficulties when communicating with others, they become irritable, sometimes aggressive. At this time, patients refuse to fulfill the traditional requirements of professional activity. In families, they become strangers, estranged from their relatives. Therefore, over time, they may lose their jobs and families. Characteristics of psychopathic behavior can predispose individuals to alcoholism and drug addiction, which in turn contribute significantly to social and micro-social maladaptation. When providing urgent care to such patients, it is necessary to be guided by the requirements of the legislation on psychiatric care. In the acute period, antidepressant, neuroleptic and sedative therapy in injections should be prescribed to quickly achieve the desired therapeutic effect, followed by switching to oral forms of basic and adjuvant therapy. Psychocorrectional measures should also be an important component of the process of further rehabilitation of patients with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Abstract:
Abstract The third chapter deals with the ‘Baconian’ knowledge-gathering correspondence networks which publishers established with their customers. It appears that while the social elite gravitated to a more ‘national’ society, many families were far from estranged from their historical localities. Three letter samples are treated separately, as they relate to very different editorial projects and political contexts. Hence, the first Baronetage (1727–41) by Thomas Wotton left two volumes of letters, mostly sent by the northern landed families who had risen to prominence during the Restoration. In 1800–5, William Betham launched a luxury Baronetage that attracted the interest of recent baronets, who owed their elevation to Pitt the Younger. A much larger corpus of 400 correspondents relates to the preparation of the first volumes of John Burke’s History of the Commoners in 1828–9. They belonged to a landed ‘aristocratic class’ whose homogeneity should not be overstated. In their letters, genteel values did not always easily coexist with commercial, colonial, and industrial interests.

Abstract:
Chapter 3 locates William Wyler’s The Best Years of Our Lives within a climate of problematized nostos in the concluding years of World War II. It approaches the film as a tripartite Odyssey about three returning serviceman and three corresponding Penelope figures. It shows that, in portraying the tensions involved in the characters’ personal nostoi, The Best Years exposes a broader anxiety about the post-war stability, and indeed survival, of both oikos and polis. Through these individual stories, the film manages to suggest an entire generation readjusting to what Willard Waller called ‘this estranged world of peacetime complexity’, and to represent millions of families in their struggle to resume communication at a civilian and domestic level. The chapter delves into the genesis, development, and reception of this modern Odyssey.

Abstract:
Abstract Not all white residents thrived after the Civil War. A number were compelled to seek livelihoods elsewhere. After Asoph Hughes’s death in 1865, four of his and Mary (Nations) Hughes’s sons left to make new starts. One moved temporarily to Arkansas but returned to live near his brothers, who had settled other parts of Swain and Jackson Counties. Edd Conner used a small inheritance to purchase a farm in Otto, North Carolina, but he injured his leg badly and became estranged from his wife. He traveled the Southeast in search of work, always returning to Oconaluftee. He was evangelical and is known for the white burial suit that he had made for himself more than 16 years before his death. Aden Carver, considered the quintessential mountaineer, and his wife Martha (Roberts) Carver left the valley to live in Tennessee for over 20 years. They returned to help his parents once they were too old to continue farming. New families arrived and bought choice farmland, notably the Queen family, who purchased the area known as Smokemont. In 1896, a new log building for Lufty Baptist Church was built in on land donated by J.L. Queen and H.J. Beck. Between 1880 and 1900, the number of families living in the valley increased from 75 to 135. The period was remembered as “a time of great neighborliness” by Thomas Irvin Hughes.

Abstract All pastors of multiracial churches at this moment in U.S. history can be considered pioneers. Pioneers venture into the unknown, hoping to forge a new path forward. The unspoken bargain is that the knowledge and resources gained on their journeys could be beneficial for the communities they leave. However, pastors of color of multiracial churches are estranged pioneers. They leave the familiar to explore a new way of doing church, but their ventures are not valued or celebrated as something that will potentially benefit the communities they come from. What’s more, their sense of identity is challenged or destabilized in the process. Alienation characterizes their journey. This chapter examines this alienation and how it varies among African American, Asian American, and Hispanic American pastors that head multiracial churches.

Abstract:
Abstract Given the tremendous pull of homophily and the reality of racial segregation in the American religious landscape, it is altogether reasonable to ask why anyone, particularly a person of color, would want to pay the significant costs of leading multiracial congregations. In an effort to address this important question, this chapter explores the advantages that pastors of color have as leaders in multiracial spaces. Pastors of color tend to have three main advantages. One is that they are multicultural. By this, we do not mean their heritage is multicultural; rather, they are fluent in more than one culture. They are familiar with, for instance, the behavioral norms, values, ideologies, theologies, ways of speech, language, and style as well as material culture, like music, food, clothing, art, and technology, of their own ethnoracial culture and the dominant white culture. Another advantage is that they are able to see, comprehend, and navigate the racialized social system. A third advantage is that they can act as bridges between their ethnoracial religious community and their current religious network.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter examines the centrality of wandering to the experience of being Greek. From earliest times, the Greeks were in restless movement, propelled from their familiar habitat either by human force or by the exigencies of their environment. Wanderer refers to the tens of thousands of men, women, and children who left their homes without a settled route or fixed destination. A wanderer in this sense was not only apolis (without a city-state), but also aphrêtôr (without a phratry), and anestios (without a hearth). In other words, he or she was stripped not only of civic and political identity, but also, even more fundamentally, of social and familial identity. Without attachment to a phratry, a Greek was denied membership of one of the primary divisions of Greek society, and without attachment to a hearth, he or she was estranged from that most basic unit of Greek life, namely the oikos or oikia (home, household).

Abstract:
Chapter 1 offers a foundational reading of two contemporary works in which literal, embodied ghosts or specters intrude into and transform the terrain of traditional literary realism: Toni Morrison’s Beloved and Mahasweta Devi’s novella, “Pterodactyl, Puran Sahay, and Pirtha.” By introducing embodied ghosts into otherwise realistically rendered fictional landscapes, these works intentionally disrupt the familiar narrative protocols that allow them to be made meaningful—both those which insist on the mimetic realness of the supernatural events they depict, and those which invite us to read those events metaphorically. But by staging exorcisms, which banish the supernatural and allow characters like Puran, Sethe, and Denver to re-join the communities from which they had estranged themselves, these works also acknowledge the necessity of compromise: although something is inevitably lost when Beloved and “Pterodactyl” are placed into interpretive circulation, something important is gained as well.

Abstract:
Abstract As its name implies, magical realism discovers an element of the magical or mystical in the familiar world, using that discovery to, in the best science fiction (sf) tradition, “estrange” our view of the everyday, while also enriching human experience. Born from Latin American fantasy literature, it finds in the sf film a way of creating striking visual and contextual juxtapositions that blur the boundaries between the real and the fantastic, as in the Gill Man of The Shape of Water, the video game figures of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, or the labyrinth of Pan’s Labyrinth. More than just fantasy, magical realism in an sf context reveals how the mind, the imagination, even everyday objects can serve as sf technologies to help people cope with or change the world.
