Using the Family as a Resource

How to use families as a resource in child therapy. Therapists now acknowledge that "it takes a family to heal a child." But many still ask: How do we involve families in treatment? Which family dynamics are associated with childhood disorders? How can we mobilize families' emotional and relational resources? Paying special attention to competency-based theories and interventions, the contributors to this book use case studies to answer these questions and teach therapists how to draw on the inherent strengths of children and families.

A Guide for Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse

The Courage to Heal is an inspiring, comprehensive guide that offers hope and encouragement to every woman who, was sexually abused as a child -- and those who care about her. Although the effects of child sexual abuse are long-term and severe, healing is possible. The authors weave personal experience with professional knowledge to show the reader how she can come to terms with her past while moving powerfully into the future. They provide clear explanations, practical suggestions, a map of the healing journey, and many moving first-person examples of the recovery process drawn from their interviews with hundreds of survivors. Definitive in scope, The Courage to Heal speaks directly to the survivor in a warm and personal way: TAKING STOCK -- outlines the effects of child sexual abuse and the ways women cope over time. THE HEALING PROCESS -- explores each stage from the decision to heal and remembering through breaking silence, knowing it wasn't your fault, nurturing the inner child, and grief and anger, to resolution and moving on. CHANGING PATTERNS -- offers in-depth guidance for shifting self-defeating patterns in specific areas of one's present life, including self-esteem, feelings, intimacy, sexuality, and dealing with families. SUPPORTERS OF SURVIVORS -- provides insight and strategies for partners of survivors, family members, and counselors. COURAGEOUS WOMEN -- profiles survivors who share the challenges and triumphs of their own healing journeys. HONORING THE TRUTH -- a substantial new Afterword that refutes the "false memory" argument and presents a thorough and enlightening response to the backlash. RESOURCE GUIDE -- fully updated for this edition -- informs readers about therapy, healing activities, recommended reading, support groups, self-help programs, and services and organizations.

A Practitioner′s Manual

With the belief that intervention should be available to all members of families experiencing domestic violence, the authors of this book provide practitioners with the necessary knowledge base to operate successfully a group programme for children of battered women. The programme, aimed at children aged from four to 12 years, provides a framework for healing and education. Peled and Davis guide readers through an initial child assessment, with sample intake forms provided in an appendix. They then describe both group sessions for the children that take place over a 10-week period and concurrently run parenting skills groups. The authors go on to detail a family session which marks the conclusion of the programme.

The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC Book for Digital Photographers

Updated for all the newest features of the 2014 release of Adobe Photoshop CC, the approach of this top-selling book has broken new ground by doing something for digital photographers that's rare–it cuts through the bull and shows readers exactly "how to do it." It's not a bunch of theory; it doesn't challenge readers to come up with their own settings or figure it out on their own. Instead, it shows them, step by step, the exact techniques used by today's cutting-edge digital photographers and retouchers, and it does something that virtually no other Photoshop book has ever done–it tells you flat-out which settings to use, when to use them, and why. This book includes coverage of all the newest features of the 2014 release of Photoshop CC that photographers need, such as improvements to Smart Objects and Layer Comps, as well as Blur Gallery motion effects and the Focus Mask feature. Scott also covers all the newest enhancements to Adobe Camera Raw 8. The Adobe Photoshop CC Book for Digital Photographers is graphically rich and contains project-based examples of every key step in the digital photography process. Integrating all the newest features of Photoshop CC into the book's workflow, Scott shows readers how to work with their images like a pro, from importing to organization to editing to output.

A Novel

Howard Norman'sThe Bird Artist, the first book of his Canadian trilogy, begins in 1911. Its narrator, Fabian Vas is a bird artist: He draws and paints the birds of Witless Bay, his remote Newfoundland coastal village home. In the first paragraph of his tale Fabian reveals that he has murdered the village lighthouse keeper, Botho August. Later, he confesses who and what drove him to his crime--a measured, profoundly engrossing story of passion, betrayal, guilt, and redemption between men and women.
