Heard Amid the Guns

True Stories from the Western Front, 1914-1918

By: Jacqueline Larson Carmichael

Carmichael captures the anguish and the wonder of war in flashes of colour, humour, and gems of human detail mined from letters, diaries, interviews, [and] her own family history." —Halifax Chronicle Herald A rich and varied tapestry of the First World War, highlighting the personal stories of over 150 men and women from across North America who served overseas. After receiving a bundle of worn letters written by her late grandfather George “Black Jack” Vowel during the First World War, journalist Jacqueline Carmichael became fascinated with the daily realities and personal stories of those who had lived through that pivotal and harrowing period in history. Reaching beyond the battlefield descriptions found in most history books, Carmichael presents unforgettable accounts filled with drama, hope, and heartbreak culled from journals and letters of Allied soldiers and nurses. From tales of men “shot at dawn” under charges of desertion or cowardice, to women cross-dressing to get into battle, to a Canadian Member of Parliament whose PTSD-induced death was barely acknowledged by Ottawa for nearly a century, Heard Amid the Guns reflects the human face of war. Featuring profiles of people from every Canadian province and many American states, including soldiers of Indigenous, Asian, Indo-Canadian, and African-Canadian and -American backgrounds, this book is a touching tribute illustrated throughout by WWI-era photos, postcards, documents, and the author’s contemporary photos from battlefield sites and monuments.

Little True Stories of Life & Death on the Western Front

By: Jacqueline Larson Carmichael

More than 150 tiny true stories from World War I soldiers, female combatants and nurses and the home front. 'Tweets from the Trenches: Little True Stories of Life & Death on the Western Front' brings real voices from diverse backgrounds to life in journal excerpts, poetry and social media. Presented chronologically, with historical images and contemporary photos from the author's journey in her grandfathers' steps. An odyssey into the dugouts of WWI history, 'Tweets from the Trenches' is written in flash documentary creative non-fiction, it encompasses excerpts of journals, letters and memoirs of Allied participants from Prince Edward Island to Yorkshire to South Carolina. With a picture on almost every page, the war unfolds chronologically in stories of valour and heartbreak, on everything from rationed rum and brave homing pigeons to post-traumatic stress disorder. Author Jacqueline Larson Carmichael had two grandfathers on the ground with the Canadian Expeditionary Force throughout the fiery battle on the Western Front. Her curiosity about their experience led to walking on the Western Front herself as part of a research project. As a social media experiment, the seasoned journalist gave Black Jack a Twitter account of his own, posting in his name on Twitter and Facebook - as if he were posting from the trenches of Flanders, Belgium and France. In 2016, on a travel writing research trip, Carmichael traveled to Belgium, France and Germany, and walked portions of the Western Front where both her grandfathers were soldiers for most of the duration of World War I. The long-time journalist, whose work has been seen in The Dallas Morning News, the Toronto Sun, Entrepreneur Magazine, found footnoted flash documentary creative non-fiction a great way to quickly tell little stories pulled from history. Life after battle - including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) - is addressed in a series of pieces that include the dramatic example of Canadian Member of Parliament Samuel Simpson Sharpe, whose death induced by the trauma of war was barely acknowledged in Ottawa circles for almost a century.

Mental Health Treatment for Children and Adolescents

By: Jacqueline Corcoran

Mental health problems disrupt the lives of many young people and their families, putting them at risk for instability as adults. This is particularly true for children from vulnerable populations, such as those in the child welfare or juvenile justice systems. With the prospect of potentially dire outcomes, it is essential that professionals be well equipped to understand and treat mental health disorders early and effectively. Mental Health Treatment for Children and Adolescents offers a sweeping synthesis of the research on treatment of DSM-defined mental disorders in youth, appraising the state of the available evidence and examining how evidence-based treatments address the biological, psychological, and social variables that contribute to the development of disorders and the potential for recovery.Each chapter focuses on a different diagnosis, covering ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, substance use disorders, depressive disorders, eating disorders, anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Each one contains a critical review of the state of knowledge about a disorder, a summary of empirically supported psychosocial and pharmacological treatments, a case study, and a recommended research agenda. In addition, each is thoroughly grounded in a risk and resilience framework and focuses on the contextual factors that influence not only the development of a disorder but the implementation and adaptation of evidence-based practices in the real world.Mental Health Treatment for Children and Adolescents is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and clinicians both for its presentation of cutting-edge data and its emphasis on implications for social workers in training, practice, and research.
