Workshop manuals on lithography tend to be written with art students in mind and the information they contain largely focuses on technical aspects of the process. It is, however, difficult to put into words the nuances of this printmaking practice, and consequently, handbooks rarely refer to sensory information and phenomenological experience. In light of this issue, my intention in Listen is to test the potential and limitations of written langu…
Lucien Bianco, La récidive, Révolution russe, révolution chinoise
The title of Lucien Bianco's magnificent study is not easy to translate into English : "The Recurrence" perhaps (as in the recurrence of a disease that has gone into remission) ; or better, "The Repeat Offence" (as in criminal recidivism). Pierre Nora apparently vetoed Bianco's original title : "La repetition," because of its theatrical connotations (it can mean a "rehearsal") ; and "La rplique," a word that can mean an "aftershock" as well as a …

High risk infants in the children's court process in Australia
Infant (0–24 months) protection cases pose particular difficulties at court: infants are physically and developmentally vulnerable, frequently there is no ‘track record’ against which parenting performance can be predicted, and the rights of infants and parents often appear to conflict. These difficulties often give rise to tensions that are keenly felt at the lawyer/protective worker interface. This paper presents an analysis of court issues ari…

This research tradition is reviewed and contrasted with the similar field of psychotherapy where there has been considerable research into why interventions wo…
Is more better? The relationship between outcomes achieved by problem gamblers and the number of counselling sessions attended
This paper addresses the question of how much intervention is necessary for the effective treatment of problem gambling by exploring the relationship between the number of counselling sessions attended and the degree of problem resolution achieved for 613 individuals who attended problem gambling counselling services in Victoria. While those who achieved partial or full resolution of presenting problems attended more sessions than those who finis…
Sex Differences in the Treatment Needs and Outcomes of Problem Gamblers
Previous studies have found significant differences between men and women who have sought help for problems associated with their gambling. While this raises the possibility of differing treatment needs, much of the research into treating problem gamblers is based on all-male samples. This article seeks to remedy this situation by reporting on sex differences in the treatment of 1,520 problem gamblers, almost half of whom are female, who sought h…
