The past few decades have witnessed a significant increase in the number of ex-prisoners returning to communities nationwide. Often overlooked are this population’s physical and social-behavioral health concerns and, consequently, the role that health care plays in influencing the success of reintegration.

Imagine a pastor so popular that ecclesiastical superiors had to ban visitors. Now imagine that this same man, with witnesses standing by, engaged in terrifyingly real dialogues with departed souls seeking refuge in the world of the living.

Priority should be given to harmonizing policy toward Iraq and the Middle East as well as Central Asia and the Caucasus.In Stock From the PublsiherA strong security partnership with Turkey has been an important element of U.S. policy for the last five decades. However, in the last few years, U.S.-Turkish relations have seriously deteriorated, and today they are badly in need of repair. The ar
