Mathers Emotional Awareness, Honesty & Strength Why Teen Books are Excellent Bibliotherapy Tools people cope with their emotions in an authentic way. Differ- ent books are meaningful at different times in a person’s life, and different readers will respond to books in different ways. Clinical bibliotherapy involves medical professionals rec- ommending non-fiction, self-help-type books to their pa- tients in the hopes of giving them resources to deal with their medical issues through examples. A similar practice is found in creative bibliotherapy, done by lay people but also involv- ing non-fiction self-help books in a way that fosters commu- nity discussions about an illness. The use of non-fiction books is about providing practical answers. Dealing with issues such as divorce, anxiety, abuse or illness, self-help books provide readers with a step-by-step guide to getting through the challenges that face them. They can be used in an individual or group setting but the types of bibliotherapy that use them are geared more toward adults. The best feeling in the world for me happens when I read a The type of bibliotherapy I practise is best described as book that speaks to my experience and shows me I am not emotional bibliotherapy and it fills a gap left by the other three. alone.

    But a Few Acres of Snow? − Weather Images in Canadian Short Prose 1945-2000 PhD Dissertation Judit Nagy Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to express my sincere and heartfelt thanks to my advisor and director of the Modern English and American Literature, Dr. Aladár Sarbu for his professional support, valuable insights and informative courses, which all markedly prompted the completion of my dissertation. I would also thank Dr. Anna Jakabfi for her assistance with the Canadian content of the dissertation, the cornucopia of short stories she has provided me with, and for her painstaking endeavours to continually update the Canadian Studies section of the ELTE-SEAS library with books that were indispensable for my research. I am also grateful to Dr. Istán Géher, Dr. Géza Kállay, Dr. Péter Dávidházi and Dr. Judit Friedrich, whose courses inspired many of the ideas put forward in the second chapter of the dissertation (“Short Story Text and Weather Image”). I would also like to express my gratitude to the Central European Association of Canadian Studies for the conference grant that made it possible for me to deliver a presentation in the topic of my dissertation at the 2nd IASA Congress and Conference in Ottawa in 2005, to the Embassy of Canada in Hungary, especially Robert Hage, Pierre Guimond, Agnes Pust, Yvon Turcotte, Katalin Csoma and Enikő Lantos, for their on-going support, to the Royal Canadian Geographic Society and Environment Canada for providing me with materials and information regarding the geographical-climatological findings included in my dissertation, and, last but not least, to the chief organisers of the “Canada in the European Mind” series of conferences, Dr.

  • Hunter, Adult Adolescent, and Wounded Warlock Hunter, Adult Adolescent, and Wounded Warlock: Images of Men in English-Canadian Women's Fiction (1960-93)
    HUNTER, ADULT ADOLESCENT, AND WOUNDED WARLOCK HUNTER, ADULT ADOLESCENT, AND WOUNDED WARLOCK: IMAGES OF MEN IN ENGLISH-CANADIAN WOMEN'S FICTION (1960-93) JANINA CAMILLE HORNOSTY, M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University Copyright by Janina Camille Hornosty, May 1994 ii. Doctor of Philosophy (English) McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada TITLE: Hunter, Adult Adolescent, and Wounded Warlock: Images of Men in English-Canadian Women's Fiction (1960-93) AUTHOR: Janina C. Hornosty, 8.A. (McMaster University) M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Joan Coldwell NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 259 iii. Abstract Although the fiction written by women in English-Canada since the 1960's has experimented widely with literary form, a remarkably consistent set of - literary archetypes of masculinity emerges from their work. I have named the three particularly vivid and pervasive images of men on which I focus, the Hunter, the Adult Adolescent, and the Wounded Warlock. My project is essentially a sketching out of these beings, a contouring of their recurring literary reality. Tori! Moi rightly criticizes the project of evaluating literary images of women in terms of their true or false relation to 'real life' as one that "resolutely refuses to consider textual production as a highly complex, 'over­ determined' process with many different and conflicting literary and non­ literary determinants" (Moi 45). In looking at the images of men that dominate Canadian women's writing, I do not wish to claim that these images are 'true' or 'false', but simply that they exist in the literature.
