Review

"This book would be a good read for any school psychologist who will be doing therapy with students, regardless of their knowledge of CBGT." -Dan Seaman, NCSP in Communiqué, Volume 36, Issue #8."The handbook is a very useful resource in outlining group programmes (e.g. adolescent coping with depression, with free download of the manuals and workbooks) and outlining the modules of a programme."-Anna Solly, Clinical Psychologist, Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapy Journal, Vol. 36, 2008 "Although handbooks abound, relatively few are available for group therapy and group work. This excellent handbook helps meet the gap….sensibly organized…The quality of the chapters is high and fairly consistent, which is a tribute to the fine work of the editors…Much is to be learned from this significant handbook…highly recommended to practitioners who wish to use CGBT with children and adolescents, as well as scholars and researchers who wish to study and understand this efficient, effective, and versatile group treatment modality. This handbook will be very useful to social workers who wish to employ the CGBT approach with children and youth." – Steven R. Rose, Social Work with Groups

Long Description

This study provides an in depth study into the issue of vernacular names in Old English documents. Specifically it challenges the generally accepted notion that the sex of an individual is definitively indicated by the grammatical gender of their name. In the case of di-thematic names, the grammatical gender in question is that of the second element of the name. Thus di-thematic names have been taken as belonging to women if their second element is grammatically feminine. However, as there are no surviving Anglo-Saxon texts which explain the principles of vernacular nomenclature, or any contemporary list of Old English personal names, it is by no means sure that this assumption is correct.While modern scholars have generally felt no difficulty in distinguishing male from female names, this book asks how far the Anglo-Saxons themselves recognised this distinction, and in so doing critically examines and tests the general principle that grammatical gender is a certain indicator of biological sex. Anyone with an interest in Old English manuscripts or early medieval history will find this book both thought provoking and a useful reference tool for better understanding the Anglo-Saxon world.
