"The first comprehensive book for children born through donor conception and their families More than one million people have been born in the U.S. through donor sperm or eggs, including Wendy Kramer's son. Realizing the unique concerns of being or parenting a donor-conceived child, Kramer launched what would become the world's largest database for connecting donor-conceived people, the Donor Sibling Registry (DSR), which receives up to two million hits per month. Finding Our Families provides additional support for this growing community. With compassion and insight, the authors draw on extensive research to address situations families face throughout a donor-conceived child's development, including the search for a biological parent or half-sibling, and how to forge a healthy self-image"-- "Reference guide for parents and childern conceived through donor conception who want to search for the missing pieces of their genetic, medical and ancestral backgrounds"--

Scholarly and popular consensus has painted a picture of Indian Buddhist monasticism in which monks and nuns severed all ties with their families when they left home for the religious life. In this view, monks and nuns remained celibate, and those who faltered in their "vows" of monastic celibacy were immediately and irrevocably expelled from the Buddhist Order. This romanticized image is based largely on the ascetic rhetoric of texts such as the Rhinoceros Horn Sutra. Through a study of Indian Buddhist law codes (vinaya), Shayne Clarke dehorns the rhinoceros, revealing that in their own legal narratives, far from renouncing familial ties, Indian Buddhist writers take for granted the fact that monks and nuns would remain in contact with their families.The vision of the monastic life that emerges from Clarke's close reading of monastic law codes challenges some of our most basic scholarly notions of what it meant to be a Buddhist monk or nun in India around the turn of the Common Era. Not only do we see thick narratives depicting monks and nuns continuing to interact and associate with their families, but some are described as leaving home for the religious life with their children, and some as married monastic couples. Clarke argues that renunciation with or as a family is tightly woven into the very fabric of Indian Buddhist renunciation and monasticisms. Surveying the still largely uncharted terrain of Indian Buddhist monastic law codes preserved in Sanskrit, Tibetan, and Chinese, Clarke provides a comprehensive, pan-Indian picture of Buddhist monastic attitudes toward family. Whereas scholars have often assumed that monastic Buddhism must be anti-familial, he demonstrates that these assumptions were clearly not shared by the authors/redactors of Indian Buddhist monastic law codes. In challenging us to reconsider some of our most cherished assumptions concerning Indian Buddhist monasticisms, he provides a basis to rethink later forms of Buddhist monasticism such as those found in Central Asia, Kaśmīr, Nepal, and Tibet not in terms of corruption and decline but of continuity and development of a monastic or renunciant ideal that we have yet to understand fully.

Le handicap est interrogé par la culture, tout comme il interroge la culture de manière spécifique. Comment la culture influence-t-elle les pratiques de soin, d'accompagnement et de traitement des situations de handicap, pour le sujet et le groupe familial ? Le traumatisme que génère le handicap affecte les liens aux autres, et plus particulièrement les liens entre enfants de la famille et entre les enfants et chacun des parents. Dans ces situations, la culture offre au sujet une manière de penser, de rêver, de fantasmer à propos des multiples expressions de la vulnérabilité humaine que représente le handicap. Elle propose ou impose un cadre pour affronter la réalité des pathologies et ses conséquences. L'ambition de ce livre est de comprendre les processus qui donnent à la culture tantôt des fonctions protectrices, tantôt aliénantes et traumatiques face au handicap d'un membre de la famille. Les auteurs, praticiens et chercheurs de multiples disciplines des sciences humaines et sociales et de divers pays, questionnent les différences culturelles qui peuvent aussi exister au sein d'un même pays, interrogent l'existence d'une culture qui serait propre à une déficience, comme la cécité ou la surdité. Ils réfléchissent aux situations cliniques qui conduisent des psychothérapeutes, des psychologues cliniciens, ainsi que tous les professionnels actifs dans le champ du handicap, à travailler avec des familles d'une autre culture que la leur, parfois dans des langues qu'ils ne comprennent pas bien ou pas du tout. Ce livre est issu du 7e séminaire interuniversitaire international sur la clinique du handicap (siiclha).
