Clean Break Theatre Company is a women-only theatre company that grew out of a prisoner-led drama workshop that took place between 1977–1979 in HMP Askham Grange. In addition to its considerable impact on criminalised women and public understandings of the socio-political impact of their experiences, Clean Break has had a significant but under-acknowledged impact on contemporary British theatre. We examine three areas of Clean Break's theatre making history and organisational practices: its origin stories; its education and engagement work; and how the company's performance practices have, across five decades, 'then' and 'now', adapted to directly intervene in carceral society. By highlighting Clean Break's distinct activist theatre making processes and practices, the book makes explicit the genealogical connections of the company's past work and its impacts on contemporary feminist theatre practices.

Objective:
Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) commonly exhibit impairments in their executive functions. Caregivers are primarily responsible for the daily management of their children's ADHD and executive functioning difficulties. Psychoeducation, a cornerstone of ADHD treatment, can empower caregivers by providing them the knowledge and resources they require to support their child with ADHD. This study examined the efficacy of a suite of six caregiver psychoeducation sessions delivered by a specialised ADHD service. Two of these sessions pertained to (i) Understanding ADHD and (ii) Executive Functioning in ADHD. The other four covered information around Family Self-Care and Stress Management, Social Connectedness and Communication, Sensory Processing and Self-Regulation in ADHD and, Medication.
Participants and Methods:All sessions were delivered between May 2016 and July 2022, in 2 to 3-hour sessions each. Caregivers completed pre and post-session questionnaires, rating (i) their understanding of each of the topics, (ii) whether they identified effective strategies to help their child with ADHD meet their needs, and (iii) whether they improved their knowledge of resources they can access to assist with ADHD management. Altogether, 666 caregiver responses were collected across all sessions, 35% (n=234) of which were from the Understanding ADHD sessions and 4.2% (n = 28) from the Executive Functioning sessions.
Results:Wilcoxon signed-rank tests with Bonferroni adjusted alpha level of 0.016 were conducted to examine each session's pre- and post-session responses. Results showed that the Understanding ADHD workshops impelled significant improvements in attendee-rated levels of topic understanding (z = -8.79, p <.001, r = -.41), strategies gained (z = -8.54, p <.001, r = -.40) and perceived resource accessibility (z = -6.40, p <.001, r = -.30). Attendees reported moderate to large improvements following the Executive Functioning in ADHD sessions, including in their topic understanding (z = -4.18, p <.001, r = -.57), strategies gained (z = -3.93, p <.001, r = -.54) and perceived resource accessibility (z = -4.23, p <.001, r = -.61). Improvements across all three areas were also noted across the other four caregiver sessions, except for the medication session where no significant changes in strategies gained and perceived access to resources were noted.
Conclusions:This study provides evidence that caregiver sessions within a Tier-4 service are efficacious and can (i) meet caregivers' needs to better understand ADHD, executive functioning difficulties as well as of other ADHD-related issues, and (ii) may equip caregivers with the knowledge to access resources to appropriately manage their children with ADHD - a possible precursor to improved clinical and functional outcomes in children. That the session on ADHD medications only led to improved understanding of the topic but not to perceived gains in strategies or perceived access to strategies could be attributed to low pre-and post-session questionnaire response rates as well as to the nature of those sessions which were purely informative and did not discuss strategies and resources. Nonetheless, longitudinal studies, with control groups, should determine whether any post-intervention improvements are sustained over time and should establish whether these are associated with improved outcomes in children.

Negative emotionality (NE) was evaluated as a candidate mechanism linking prenatal maternal affective symptoms and offspring internalizing problems during the preschool/early school age period. The participants were 335 mother–infant dyads from the Maternal Adversity, Vulnerability and Neurodevelopment project. A Confirmatory Bifactor Analysis (CFA) based on self-report measures of prenatal depression and pregnancy-specific anxiety generated a general factor representing overlapping symptoms of prenatal maternal psychopathology and four distinct symptom factors representing pregnancy-specific anxiety, negative affect, anhedonia and somatization. NE was rated by the mother at 18 and 36 months. CFA based on measures of father, mother, child-rated measures and a semistructured interview generated a general internalizing factor representing overlapping symptoms of child internalizing psychopathology accounting for the unique contribution of each informant. Path analyses revealed significant relationships among the general maternal affective psychopathology, the pregnancy- specific anxiety, and the child internalizing factors. Child NE mediated only the relationship between pregnancy-specific anxiety and the child internalizing factors. We highlighted the conditions in which prenatal maternal affective symptoms predicts child internalizing problems emerging early in development, including consideration of different mechanistic pathways for different maternal prenatal symptom presentations and child temperament.

Considering the important role that paid support workers play in care of older people with dementia, it is vital that researchers and relevant organisations understand the factors that lead to them feeling valued for the work that they do, and the consequences of such valuing (or lack thereof). The current study employed semi-structured interviews to understand the individual experiences of 15 support workers based both in residential care homes and private homes. The General Inductive Approach was used to analyse the interview transcriptions and to develop a conceptual model that describes the conditions that lead to support workers feeling valued for the work that they do. This model consists of organisational or individual strategies, the context in which support work takes place, and various interactions, actions and intervening conditions that facilitate or prevent support workers feeling valued. A significant finding in this research was the role of interpersonal relationships and interactions which underlie all other aspects of the conceptual model developed here. By understanding the importance of how employers, families of older adults with dementia and peers interact with support workers, we may promote not only the quality of work that support workers deliver, but also the wellbeing of the support workers themselves.

The rural health context in the United States presents unique ethical challenges to its approximately 60 million residents, who represent about one quarter of the overall population and are distributed over three-quarters of the country’s land mass. The rural context is not only identified by the small population density and distance to an urban setting but also by a combination of social, religious, geographical, and cultural factors. Living in a rural setting fosters a sense of shared values and beliefs, a strong work ethic, self-reliance, and a tendency for close-knit extended social structures where overlapping relationships are commonplace.

Ira Aldridge -- a black New Yorker -- was one of nineteenth-century Europe's greatest actors. He performed abroad for forty-three years, winning more awards, honors, and official decorations than any of his professional peers. Billed as the "African Roscius," Aldridge developed a repertoire initially consisting of Shakespeare's Othello, melodramas about slavery, and farces that drew on his ability to sing and dance. By the time he began touring in Europe he was principally a Shakespearean actor, playing such classic characters as Shylock, Macbeth, Richard III, and King Lear.
Although his frequent public appearances made him the most visible black man in the world by mid-nineteenth century, today Aldridge tends to be a forgotten figure, seldom mentioned in histories of British and European theater. This collection restores the luster to Aldridge's reputation by examining his extraordinary achievements against all odds. The early essays offer biographical information, while later essays examine his critical and popular reception throughout the world. Taken together, these diverse approaches to Aldridge offer a fuller understanding and heightened appreciation of a remarkable man who had an exceptionally interesting life and a spectacular career.

Summary
Ira Aldridge had a remarkable life and career. Born in lowly circumstances in New York City, educated for a few years at an African Free School, self-taught as an actor but prevented from appearing in plays at white theaters in America, he emigrated to England, began performing as a headliner at minor London theaters while still a teenager, then toured for more than a quarter of a century all over the British Isles, and finally, during the last fifteen years of his life, earned a reputation on the European Continent as one of the greatest tragedians of his day. Aldridge traveled farther, was seen by more people in more nations, and won a greater number of prestigious honors, decorations, and awards than any other actor in the nineteenth century.
Yet his extraordinary accomplishments are not very well known today. He is seldom discussed in histories of British or European theater, and because he had virtually all his professional experience abroad, he tends to be ignored in histories of American theater. Throughout his career he was an itinerant player, moving from place to place fulfilling short-term engagements on stages large and small. He was never under contract to a major metropolitan theater for more than a few weeks at a time, so he made no long-lasting impact on audiences in London, Dublin, Edinburgh, Berlin, Stockholm, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Constantinople, Warsaw, St. Petersburg, Moscow, or any of the other cities in which he was sporadically seen. As a luminary, he was more a comet than a fixed star—here today, gone tomorrow—and as a consequence he shines less brightly now, forgotten amidst more constant reminders of theatrical brilliance.
Nearly fifty years ago there was an attempt to bring him out of the shadows and place him before the world in a more conspicuous position so that his trailblazing achievements could be better appreciated. This was the fine documentary biography, Ira Aldridge: The Negro Tragedian (1958), coauthored by Herbert Marshall and Mildred Stock. With help from Aldridge's octogenarian daughter Amanda, Marshall and Stock were able to assemble an impressive record of Aldridge's activities by using materials supplied by Amanda and supplementing these with what they were able to find in libraries and archives throughout Europe and America.
