From Object Relations to Public Relations
This contribution advocates for the clarity and accessibility of psychoanalytic writing and public communications. Reflecting on her own experience as a clinician and a reader, the author argues that the excessive use of jargon contributes to a musty air of impenetrability and partly accounts for the marginalization of psychoanalysis within the current mental health landscape

This might be cliché, but it was a sense of family”
Indigenous communities in Canada continue to feel the ongoing impacts of colonialism, including socio-economic disadvantage, high rates of violent victimization, systemic racism and discrimination, overrepresentation in the criminal justice system, and intergenerational trauma.

Reluctantly Restoring Rights
The UK government's defeat before the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) 1 in Hirst v United Kingdom (No. 2) with respect to its legislation disenfranchising convicted prisoners, and the government's recaltriant response to that finding, has highlighted the various political and legal views on the retention of prisoners’ rights. The disenfranchisement of prisoners obviously raises issues of participative democracy, but whether convicted priso…
Deaf Persons of Asian American, Hispanic American, and African American Backgrounds
This article explores the ways in which deaf college students who are members of minority racial groups think about and describe their identities. In-depth, semistructured interviews with 33 deaf students of Asian American, Hispanic American, and African American background were analyzed for themes regarding the self-reported identities of respondents. Results suggest that each person is a constellation of many parts, some of which are stronger t…
Empirical paper. Inclusive instruction and learning for deaf students in postsecondary education
This article explores how students who are deaf and their instructors experience mainstream college classes. Both quantitative and qualitative procedures were used to examine student access to information and their sense of belonging and engagement in learning. Instructors were asked to discuss their approach to teaching and any instructional modifications made to address the needs of deaf learners. Results indicate that deaf students viewed clas…
Motivational and Attitudinal Orientations in Learning American Sign Language
Integrative motivation was found to correlate significantly with sign language proficiency of adult learners at a post-secondary program for deaf students. Instrumental motives, however, were perceived as less important. Higher achievement in ASL was also associated with a positive cultural attitude toward deaf people. Learning of ASL as a second language may be enhanced if instructors design strategies that build upon these cultural and integrat…
Motivational Factors in Learning American Sign Language
This study focuses on factors that motivate and demotivate professionals to learn American Sign Language (ASL). Using a qualitative approach known as the Critical Incident Technique (CIT), faculty and staff were asked to reflect on their sign language learning experiences, and their responses were examined for motivational patterns. Principal motivating factors were intrinsic in nature, including a desire to perform well in one's position, person…
