Paperback. Zustand: Good. Understanding Self-Worth: A Guide to Worth-Conscious Theory and Psychotherapeutic Practice is a guide for psychotherapists confounded by the struggle of working with clients who present with a pervasive pattern of denied self-worth.When self-worth is perceived as conditional or denied altogether, clients may become complicit in creating a lost-worth story--the story they tell that keeps them denying their own worth. The denial may include generational abusive and/or intrusive injunctions that go against their lived truth.Psychotherapists will come away from this book with a deep understanding of the importance of attending to the degree of trauma experienced when the client's self-worth is separated from their individual truth. Moreover, where there is worth-based trauma, the psychotherapist will learn models both for helping clients gently and honestly reestablish a worthy and true sense of self and for consciously guiding clients toward recovery of human worth as a birthright.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Reveals the impact of witnessing violence even as it affirms the luminous power of love. Jamie's mother is there to catch the baby -this time. She does what she must to keep her family out of harm's way, but still the shock waves of Van's act reverberate through their lives. What Jamie Saw is a moving, visceral dramatization of violence in the home, told not from the point of view of a victim, but as witnessed by a nine-year-old boy. The impact of observed violence perpetrated against loved ones is profound and destructive, and altogether too common. Drawing on his mother's desperate strength, his own determination, and help from an unexpected friend, Jamie confronts his fear and anxiety - learning, adapting, and triumphing. HONORS Emphasis on Reading (Children's Choice) Award -State of Alabama Newbery Medal Honor Book National Book Award Finalist ALA Notable Children's Books Editors' Choice -Booklist Blue Ribbon Book -BCCB A Few Good Books -Book Links Children's Books of Distinction -Hungry Mind Review Children's Books -100 titles for Reading and Sharing -New York Public Library REVIEWS Coman admirably overcomes the technical difficulties she has set for herself in beginning her novel with such an intense scene, and her conclusion, with Van deflated by the unified front Jamie and his mother present, satisfies and feels truthful. Jamie, with his acute observations and ability to completely immerse himself in the moment, is a memorable character children will recognize as being just like them. -Booklist In effect, Coman speaks for her hero with the intuitive understanding and empathy of a mother. The subjective impressions that she records are unmistakably those of a young boy, and Jamie's subjectivity becomes increasingly convincing; the cumulative effect is mesmerizing. Reading this short novella, readers will find themselves quickly slipping into a mode of thought analogous to the protagonist's. It's a profound characterization and a remarkable achievement in a book about ordinary people trying to put their lives in order. -Kirkus Reviews Coman puts us at the heart of a crisis. The setting, sparely and precisely evoked, is a gray Vermont December, and Coman is nervy enough to place the climax on Christmas Eve .] -Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Grounded in Jamie's perspective, Carolyn Coman writes a novel about the tension of living in fear, and the courage of breaking free. -CCBC Choices (University of Wisconsin) The powerful story probes with painful insistence at the insidious nature of fear and its consequences. -Horn Book Guide From the gripping opening until the very last page, readers share the real fear, anger, and anguish that haunt Jamie and his mother. Their ability to face their fears and thus begin to reconstruct their lives brings this short, but powerful story to closure. -Children's Literature.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. When their parents are sent up the river for embezzlement, Ray and Ivy are left to live in the lap of luxury with Marietta Noland and her ancient husband, Lionel. But life at the big house is not all it's cracked up to be. First there is the shrouded portrait, then there is the spider in the decaying wedding cake. And what about the vicious instrument Marietta uses to decapitate her egg? When the rain in Spain begins to fall (in other words, Ray wets his bed), things go from bad to worse and Ivy knows it is time to take matters into her own hands. What follows is a hilarious lark as Ray and Ivy case the joint, get the skinny, and show Marietta she has met her match.…
