Its igniting influences were Michel Foucault, R.D. Laing, Thomas Szasz and, in Italy, Franco Basaglia. The term was first used by the psychiatrist David Cooper in 1967.[1] Two central contentions

  • HAITI NEWS ROUNDUP: SEPTEMBER 7 – 14, 2006 INTERVIEW-Larger UN Force Would Help Haiti Aid Implementation Reuters by Gilbert L
    HAITI NEWS ROUNDUP: SEPTEMBER 7 – 14, 2006 INTERVIEW-Larger UN force would help Haiti aid implementation Reuters By Gilbert Le Gras 14 Sep 2006 SINGAPORE, - Haiti would benefit from faster implementation of its aid programmes if it were assigned a larger U.N. peacekeeping force to ensure the safety of development workers, a top World Bank official said on Thursday. In August the United Nations renewed the mandate of its peacekeeping force for six months at its current size of about 9,000 soldiers and police despite U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan's call for a 12-month extension. "That is very much on the low side for U.N. peacekeeping forces when you look across the spectrum of the world and I think donors have recognised that, without that security-development nexus, you're not going to get progress," said the World Bank's Latin America and Caribbean director, Caroline Anstey. Troop and police contributions are typically determined by donor countries' foreign and defence ministries while aid funding is approved by finance and development officials, and coordination is sometimes lacking, she said. "We need to bring those together so security and development can go hand in hand so, for example, we can go into Cite Soleil and do development projects," Anstey said in reference to the most dangerous shanty town in the Caribbean country of 8.6 million people. "It's very hard for development institutions and NGOs to deliver cleaner water, clean streets, sanitation in areas that are insecure," she added. On Monday U.N. troops took over several slums in Port-au-Prince that had been held by armed gangs believed to be loyal to former president Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who was forced from power in February 2004.

  • Juveniles and Psychiatric Institutionalization
    A bstract The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) can be used as a framework to examine issues regarding psychiatric institutional- ization of juveniles in the United States. The current U.S. system allows children diagnosed with relatively mild, non-psychotic disorders or exhibit- ing delinquent behaviors to be placed in institutions. Failure to regulate treat- ment in these faciltities also results in abuses by the treatment providers. Parents can institutionalize a child under the guise of mental health "treat- ment` because they disapprove of the child's lifestyle choices. In some states, parents can waive the child's right to an impartial hearing before institution- alization. The serious social, mental, and physical health consequences of erroneous deprivation of liberty are discussed. Recommendations include that the U.S. ratify the CRC, guarantee due process for juveniles faced with institutionalization, conduct systematic treatment reviews, and correct in- stitutional abuses. La convention des Nations Unies sur les droits de l'enfant peut servir de r?f?rence lors de l'examen des questions relatives ? l'internement psychiatrique des mineurs aux Etats-Unis. Le syst?me am?ricain permet aux enfants diagnostiqu?s comme ayant des d?sordres non-psychotiques et b?nins ou des tendances d?linquentes d'?tre plac?s en institution. Mais 1' absence de reglements au sein de ces structures peut ?galement mener ? des abus par le personnel de soin. Il est possible que les parents fassent interner leur enfant sous le pr?texte du traitement de sa sant? mentale alors que cette d?marche est motiv?e par une d?sapprobation de son style de vie.

A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S degree. July, 2004. 311 pages. Advisor: Brian Sturm This study explores the library-as-sanctuary, a motif adopted by many in the library community, but not explored elaborately prior to this work. It applies this motif, its history, and recastings to youth services of inner-city public libraries. After studying the context of contemporary low-income urban youths’ lives, a detailed discussion follows with attention to the implications of the sanctuary motif to inner-city youth services. Tensions and cohesions are highlighted. Inspired by the motif, recommendations are made for spatial design, collection development, programming, personnel, advocacy, and public policy.

  • A Comprehensive Annotated Legal Bibliography on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning Youth
    Queer Kids: A Comprehensive Annotated Legal Bibliography on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning Youth Sarah E. Valentinet ABSTRACT: This Bibliography is a comprehensive collection of law review articles, and selected other materials, relevant to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, and questioning youth. These "queer kids"-minors between the ages of ten and twenty who are perceived as being gender or sexuality nonconforming-are the most endangered and underserved adolescent population in the United States. They face danger in their homes, schools, and the juvenile justice system. Their ability to protect themselves is compromised by discrimination and by their status as minors. Intended as a resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners, this bibliography collects, discusses, and organizes legal scholarship, selected reports and studies, and influential personal narratives from queer kids. t Legal Research Coordinator, Associate Law Library Professor, City University of New York (CUNY) School of Law. I formerly represented juveniles in New York Family Court, and also worked in a general legal services practice. I wish to thank Julie Lim, Director, CUNY School of Law Library, and Camille Broussard, Deputy Librarian, New York Law School Library, for their support and encouragement. In addition, this bibliography would not have been compiled without the support, encouragement, and assistance of Ruthann Robson. A portion of this bibliography was presented at a panel on Queer Kids and the Law at an annual meeting of the American Association of Law Librarians.
