Every young person
will need this book at some time in his or her
life!
A parent-child resource book, How to Handle Bullies,
Teasers and Other Meanies covers:
annoying name calling, vicious prejudice, explosive
anger, dangerous situations, and causes of difficult
behavior.
Booklist review: It's one of a very few books
that puts a practical spin on the subject. It
doesn't consider bullies who shove and kick,
but it has got some useful tips on how kids
can use verbal techniques to turn a bully's
slurs inside out....this is certainly a place
to start when fighting back seems in order,
with the ideas and the wordplays recommended
giving victims just the edge they may need to
begin to recoup their self-esteem. Stephanie

Customer comments:
When insulted or criticized, I used to sulk,
over think, insult back, feel helpless or nearly
kill myself trying to please everyone. Most
of us aren't taught by our parents or school
how to deflect negativity without experiencing
some negativity ourselves. I can't say how priceless
and mind-easing this book has been to me.
I finally found a book that has taught me
things I can use every day. Difficult people
and harsh comments would bother me, but the
book shows you how to turn the language around
and blunt any attack. I appear to have poise
and grace in a difficult situation, and it completely
disarms the attacker.
It
is very empowering to have the tools
to deal with verbal attacks from others!!
Immersed with wisdom, Empowering
Dialogues Within is a unique
client workbook filled with narratives, case vignettes,
and exercises, providing toolkit to help clients
become more self-aware. It is filled with instructive
case examples and practical advice for building
confidence, wisdom, and sense of wellness and a
foundation for lifelong strength and growth.
Customer comments:
This book is astounding! The method of internal
dialoguing is simple and very effective in calming
those troubling thoughts and feelings that plague
us all.
Like Eckhart Tolle, Cohen-Posey teaches people
to become conscious of how they identify with
over-bearing beliefs that keep them trapped
in destructive mental/emotional patterns.
I can't think of anyone who could read it
and not get some self-improvement out of it.

A Language
of the Heart is a self-help
book that explores the language we use to describe
our lives and offers tools to make sense of life
and relationships. It provides a healthy approach
to managing the daily stressors that so often
lead to depression or anxiety. Dr Schultz, a clinical
psychologist, weaves warm, common-sense stories
together with exercises that are intended to accelerate
understanding. He sets clear goals and helps the
reader achieve them. Readers seeking help understanding
their lives will immediately see the relevance
and usefulness of the stories and exercises, while
mental health professionals will find an object
relations oriented approach to therapy that can
be successful in the confines of a managed-care
environment.
Customer comments:
This little book changes the way I view
everything: myself, people around me, and
the world. It is a very simple and easy-to-read
book, but it contains some of the most profound
revelations I have ever come across.
I would have thought that the book was mainly
case studies, but not so. Schultz discusses
how to recognize problems (old maps) in your
life and how to respond with intention instead
of just a "knee jerk" reaction.
The exercises are easy, yet thought provoking.
Trauma Practice:
"Written to help guide clinicians through
the maze of trauma treatment, this practical manual
is effectively a structured toolkit of techniques
and protocols to assist therapists in their challenging
work with trauma survivors. With an emphasis upon
cognitive-behavioral interventions, it provides
resources and guidance for any psychotherapist
working with any client. The manual is divided
into three main sections, corresponding to Herman’s
(1992) Triphasic Model: Safety and Stabilization,
Remembrance and Mourning, and Reconnection. For
each of the three phases, it presents an array
of techniques, protocols, and interventions, described
clearly, thoroughly, and in a structured, easy-to-follow
manner, in the four categories of cognitive, behavioral,
body-oriented, and emotional/relational. This
book promises to become an essential resource
in trauma practice."
