1. Psychology and Law for the Helping Professions (Hardcover - Used) 053434285X 9780534342852

In his prepublication reviews, Dempster said, "Swenson not only discusses how the system opperates, he gives ver plausible and undertandable reasons why it operates the way it does. He succeeds in demystifying the legal world and summarizing its history in an understandable format. . . . Books like Swenson's help level the playing field for mental health professionals who all to often have felt victimized by the court process and have misunderstood the legal process of 'truth finding.'" In this Second Edition of his comprehensive, well respected text, Swenson emphasizes what people in the helping professions need to know about the law so they can avoid, as he puts it, the "land mines" and understand how their treatment decisions are likely to have legal consequences.

2. Pre-Owned Butterfly in the Rain: The 1927 Abduction and Murder of Marion Parker (Hardcover) 1442251190 9781442251199

On December 17, 1927 in Los Angeles, twelve year old Marion Parker, daughter of a prominent banker, was called to the school office where a stranger told her that her father had been in an accident and that she must leave with him right away. Fewer than 48 hours later, she was dead. What started as a tragic, but otherwise ordinary, kidnapping turned out to be a shocking murder by one of the period's most twisted killers, William Edward Hickman. James L. Neibaur takes a step into history, depicting how this abduction was soon labeled the "crime of the century" and sparked a change in the nation's attention to such cases. With a media-driven nationwide manhunt, one of the biggest and most wide-ranging in California history, and then a desperate attempt at sparing the killer's life with the unfamiliar insanity plea, this infamous case left the abduction and murder of Marion Parker to be etched into 1920s pop culture. The murder of Marion Parker brought to light the unthinkable reality of child abduction. Neibaur resourcefully weaves together the events surrounding the crime in the context of the contemporary culture and attitudes of the late 1920s, covering the impact of the media's first involvement in a criminal justice case, and how the admired notions of the glamorized '20s were crushed by this ordinary family's chilling reality.
