UK: The Harrington Park Press, 1998. Paperback. Used: Acceptable. Paperback in good condition apart from some small marks to page edges on one side. As a clinical psychologist, Jean Baker had always considered herself open-minded and tolerant, but found she wasnÂ’t prepared for the revelation that her only two children were both gay. Family Secrets is an inspirational story of how she and her family learned to accept one another and overcome their internalized fears and prejudices as well as how they coped with a much greater challenge in their personal lives. Family Secrets is more than a parenting memoir, however. It is a guide that draws upon research and scientific findings to capsize the myths and stereotypes that contribute to societal homophobia. It offers important insight into the developmental needs of gay children, and it discusses the issues faced by gay and lesbian youth and their families. Offering practical suggestions about how parents and schools can help gay, lesbian, and bisexual children grow up to be productive, psychologically healthy adults, Family Secrets discusses the effects of social prejudice and stigma on the social and emotional development of sexual minorities. As long as homophobia is running rampant in American society, gay children are going to be reluctant or afraid to confide in their parents, and parents will have trouble understanding and accepting homosexuality in their children. To end the secrecy and build open and healthy environments for all children and adolescents, this book discusses: tactics for reducing homophobia in non-gay youths promoting tolerance and understanding of sexual minorities at home and in school the effects an AIDS death has on families "coming out" about HIV/AIDS discussing homosexuality with your children, regardless of whether or not they are gay or lesbian sexual orientation and the interaction of biology with experience Because Family Secrets is written from the viewpoint of a parent/psychologist, it offers insights into the developmental needs of gay and lesbian children in a way that no other book has done. School counselors, psychologists, marriage and family counselors, teachers, school administrators, and the parents and siblings of gays and lesbians will all benefit from reading this honest, helpful, and encouraging book., The Harrington Park Press, 1998, 2.5, HarperCollins, New York, 2006. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. Madeline Levine has been a practicing psychologist for twenty-five years, but it was only recently that she began to observe a new breed of unhappy teenager. When a bright, personable fifteen-year-old girl, from a loving and financially comfortable family, came into her office with the word empty carved into her left forearm, Levine was startled. This girl and her message seemed to embody a disturbing pattern Levine had been observing. Her teenage patients were bright, socially skilled, and loved by their affluent parents. But behind a veneer of achievement and charm, many of these teens suffered severe emotional problems. What was going on?Conversations with educators and clinicians across the country as well as meticulous research confirmed Levine's suspicions that something was terribly amiss. Numerous studies show that privileged adolescents are experiencing epidemic rates of depression, anxiety disorders, and substance abuse--rates that are higher than those of any other socio-economic group of young people in this country. The various elements of a perfect storm--materialism, pressure to achieve, perfectionism, disconnection--are combining to create a crisis in America's culture of affluence. This culture is as unmanageable for parents--mothers in particular--as it is for their children. While many privileged kids project confidence and know how to make a good impression, alarming numbers lack the basic foundation of psychological development: an authentic sense of self. Even parents often miss the signs of significant emotional problems in their "star" children.In this controversial look at privileged families, Levine offers thoughtful, practical advice as she explodes one child-rearing myth after another. With empathy and candor, she identifies parenting practices that are toxic to healthy self-development and that have contributed to epidemic levels of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse in the most unlikely place--the affluent family. 246 pages.

In this lecture, Jane Goodall, who has written many popular biology books and is a campaigner for animal conservation, describes her work in the Gombe Stream Game Reserve. Despite political and social upheavals in Africa, Dr Goodal has spent the last 30 years observing and researching the Gombe chimpanzees.

Although most of u s pay little attention to our emotions, feelings like anxiety, an ger, frustration, guilt and sadness can have a huge impact on our lives. Sometimes we get stuck in negative ways of thinking that perpetuate these emotions, even when what is happening in our liv es is not that bad. Teenage years can be a particularly challeng ing time. There are lots of changes happening - physical, social and mental, and emotional ups and downs are common. Upsetting emo tions can lead to self-defeating behaviours, such as avoidance, i rritability, withdrawal and brooding. While our emotions seem to have a life of their own, there are actually lots of things we c an do to affect them. Learning skills to manage unhelpful emotion s can make our lives much easier, now and into the future. They c an also help us to get back on track more quickly when things go wrong. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an approach used b y therapists all over the world to help people learn to think in a healthy and balanced way, and to bounce back more quickly from stressful events.

Pauline Bash eer, wife of an Iraqi heart surgeon and mother of two children, h as lived in Iraq for more than 30 years, and her friend, another Englishwoman who also arrived in Iraq in the mid-70s. The book de tails how the two women got to know each other as they assimilate d, learning Arabic, living within traditional Iraqi family struct ures, and enduring the rigors of Saddam Hussein's regime: food ra tioning, thought police, anti-Western discrimination, and almost constant war. Interviewed for the book in 2003, they describe the ir overlapping experiences in Mosul and share their individual pe rspectives on this life-changing experience. Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly Journalist and foreign correspondent O'Don nell dexterously combines the tumultuous accounts of two Englishw omen living in Iraq with first-person narratives to create an imp artial tale about life in Mosul, a mixed-religion city northwest of Baghdad. In the late 1970s, Pauline and Margaret, the British wives of an Iraqi heart specialist and future Mosul University pr esident, respectively, assimilated into daily Middle Eastern life by learning to adapt to overbearing extended families, complying (or not) with secular rules and dejectedly tolerating meals of m utton. By degrees, over the next two decades, Saddam's iron hand tightened; Iran and Kuwait were invaded, while censorship, food r ationing and international sanctions ensued. In 2003, Mosul crumb les, and the lives of these Englishwomen become attuned to air ra ids, bombs and the shudder of explosions. O'Donnell's emotional n arrative examines Iraqi life in its entirety and shows that there is more to the country than violence and war. She chronicles fri endship and family with stories about everyday life. A thorough l ook into Iraqi's past and present, O'Donnell's tale adds a human element to the developing history of a turbulent nation. (Aug.)

Very Good. 1980. Illustrated Card Covers. 8vo 0856461016 Love is like understanding, that grows bright, Gazing on many truths; 'tis like thy light, Imagination! `Shelley's conception of love lies at the heart of his radical views on social justice, political liberty, and poetry itself.' In bringing together for the first time Shelley's almost unknown prose writings on love, Richard Holmes presents an intellectual and emotional portrait of a great poet's beliefs and personality developing from adolescence to the threshold of maturity, when at the age of thirty they were tragically cut short. The anthology does not merely give a Romantic poet's view of romantic passion, but treats of Love at large, in all its forms and manifestations. The collection is divided biographically into six thematic sections, so that the reader may follow closely the development of Shelley's views in response to his experiences. Shelley's wonderfully graceful version of Plato's Symposium is rescued from obscurity,, and three telling extracts from his lesser-read long poems serve to crystallize his attitudes to love at critical points. The coolness and clarity of Shelley's prose, his powers of argument and of concrete description and his fierce intellectual honesty are qualities rare in any age. His social, political and philosophical concerns are of the highest interest, engaging as they do the fundamental questions of human relationships in a radically searching and imaginative spirit. As Richard Holmes writes, Shelley's prose writings on love `take us back to the deeper appreciation of his major poetry, and forward to the better comprehension of our own hearts.' Richard Holmes' Shelley: the Pursuit (1974) was described by Stephen Spender as `the best biography of Shelley ever written.' It won the 1977 Somerset Maugham Award. His other publications include a biographical study of Thomas Chatterton; translations of ghost stories of Theophile Gautier, My Fantoms; and the Oxford Past Masters Coleridge (1982). He is a frequent contributor to the literary pages of The Times in London, and Harper's in New York. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. ., Anvil Press Poetry, 1980, 3<
