One of the first books in this field to be devoted to the abuse of boys, this book reviews the literature available, presents the results of the authors' own research and illustrates concepts with actual cases from their own professional experience. The authors focus on the male's socialization and victimization and the results of various forms of sexual abuse on male children. Breaking new ground by presenting a broader view of male sexual victimization, they introduce a new concept, the abuse of sexuality, to help explain many of the social and sexual problems exhibited by males. Finally, an explicit model for formulating a treatment plan which utilizes a systematic multi-remedial evaluation for both adult males and male children is presented and clinical issues within the use of this model are discussed.
Although the American obsession with mediated sports has grown tremendously in the past few years, there is little scholarly inquiry focused on how the mediated sports culture has developed and how we respond to it. Framed by a seminal article outlining the parameters of the communication of sports and pointing to major issues that need to be addressed in the relationship between sports and media, "Media, Sports and Society" provides a foundation for research on the communication of sports. Contributors examine the theoretical, cultural and historical issues, the production of mediated sports programming, its content and its audience. Individual chapters include a discussion of the spectacle of mediated sports, a comparison of Super Bowl Football and the World Cup Soccer, a consideration of the spectators' enjoyment of sports violence, the rhetoric of winning and the American dream, and a fascinating examination of gender harmony and sports interests.
