Suspect In Murder Of Abortion Provider Tiller Sends Antiabortion Mailings From Jail
From his jail cell, Scott Roeder, the man charged in the murder of abortion provider George Tiller, has been sending inflammatory pamphlets calling such killings justifiable and corresponding with radical antiabortion-rights groups, the AP/Boston Globe reports. The pamphlets call Paul Hill, who was convicted of murdering abortion provider John Bayard Britton and his bodyguard in 1994, an "American hero" and quotes some of Hill"s writing about how murdering abortion providers is acceptable. Roeder obtained the pamphlets from the antiabortion-rights group Army of God. Roeder also has been corresponding with the Rev. Donald Spitz, founder of Army of God, and antiabortion-rights advocate Linda Wolfe, who has been jailed about 50 times for antiabortion activities and is a close friend of the woman convicted of shooting Tiller in the arms in 1993. The AP/Globe reports that the FBI and Department of Justice declined to comment on whether they are concerned about Roeder"s mailings. Last month, Roeder in an interview said that there are "many other similar events planned around the country as long as abortion remains legal." Roeder has not been accused of breaking any laws because of the correspondence (AP/Boston Globe, 7/4).

Psychology Textbook: Translating Science-Based Treatments Into Clinical Settings

Academic Press, a division of Elsevier, would like to announce the publication of a new title in psychology; Evidence-Based Addiction Treatment by Peter Miller, PhD. The growing emphasis on accountability and cost effectiveness in the field of addictions treatment is leading to major changes in standards of care. Inconsistent practices based solely on clinical intuition rather than hard scientific evidence of treatment efficacy are rapidly becoming unacceptable. Translating science-based treatments into clinical settings is now an important priority. Evidence-Based Addiction Treatment provides a state-of-the-art compilation of assessment and treatment practices with proven effectiveness. This graduate level textbook for clinical psychology students and psychiatry residents covers evidence-based practices for the assessment and treatment of addiction, and discusses the treatments that work through explicit case examples and contributions by well-known researchers on addiction treatment. Miller gives students the simple ways to evaluate treatment effectiveness, and offers an accompanying web-site with exam questions for students and instructors. ISBN: 9780123743480 PAGES: 488 PUB DATE: June 2009 Leah Ackerson Elsevier
