In spite of the plethora of case details used, Websdale contends that at some level, familicides are \u201cinexplicable and reflect the haunting effects of modern emotional formations that defy scientific analysis.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a class=\"search-results-excerpt-link\" href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/news\/spotlight-1-13-2010\/\">Harvey Charles, vice provost for International Education, has been elected to the executive board of the Association of International Education Administrators, the leading national organization that serves senior international officers at universities and colleges around the world.
