Cela importait-il?
Par Bernard Levine. 2020
Il y a une histoire qui dit que chaque matin, Dieu envoie deux anges du ciel pour venir nous rendre…
visite. Qui sont ces anges? Rencontrons-les… Le nom du premier ange est «Demandez»… et le nom du deuxième ange est «Louange». Ces deux anges portent des paniers. Lorsque nous regardons ce qui est à l'intérieur du panier du premier ange, nous constatons que le panier est plein, jusqu'en haut, débordant de nos demandes de prière à Dieu telles que `` donnez-moi une grande maison, je veux une nouvelle voiture, obtenez-moi un meilleur travail et je veux beaucoup d'argent. Maintenant, quand nous regardons pour voir ce qui est à l'intérieur du panier du deuxième ange, nous constatons qu'il est vide… ils disent que seulement parfois, juste au fond du panier, il y a un ou deux mots de louange. Pensez à Dieu… chaque jour, Dieu a beaucoup, beaucoup de nos demandes pour répondre de plus en plus à nos «demandes» et «désirs». Serons-nous jamais satisfaits et reconnaissants de ce que nous avons déjà? Dites-moi, avons-nous prié pendant tout ce temps en suppliant Dieu de fournir et pourtant, nous ne prenons presque jamais le temps de remercier Dieu que nous sommes vivants et de le louer pour chaque battement de cœur et chaque souffle. Ne serait-il pas merveilleux de chercher et d'orienter nos prières pour donner la louange et la gloire au «Donneur» d'abord, avant de nous concentrer autant de notre temps de prière sur la recherche des «Cadeaux» et ce que nous pouvons obtenir de la Dieu. Chaque jour, faisons de Dieu notre plaisir… car Dieu est tout ce dont nous avons besoin!Hit and Run
Par Joan Phipson. 1985
La Chica Larga
Par Dan Alatorre. 2020
Nunca antes habías leído un libro como este. The Long Cutie te engancha con capítulos alternativos sobre una niña de…
3 años encantadoramente precoz e historias de otras personas de la vida real que tienen el síndrome de Long QT, una enfermedad cardíaca potencialmente mortal. Afirmante de vida y emocionante, La Chica Larga te hará sonreír, asentir, reír y llorar - ¡A veces todo en la misma página! Entremezcladas a lo largo del libro hay fascinantes viñetas de un hombre noruego que cuenta historias sobre la trágica historia de LQTS de su familia. Todas las historias del libro son ciertas. Algunas familias se consideran a sí mismas "necesidades especiales". Otros no lo hacen. ¡Algunos se enteraron de que tenían QT largo por desmayarse y destrozar sus coches! Algunos fueron mal diagnosticados con epilepsia durante años. Algunas de sus historias son como ver un drama médico en la televisión. Algunas son como leer una comedia. Todas ellas son increíblemente verdaderas y una montaña rusa de emociones para leer, pero usted no terminará deprimido o sintiéndose mal al leer porque estas son algunas de las personas más fuertes sobre las que usted leerá y no inspiran y no aceptarán - lástima. Piense en ello como en Pulp Fiction sin todo el tiroteo y la sangre. Y sin los gángsters. Y sin maldecir. Y... Vale, no lo vea como Pulp Fiction. Espere, piense en Pulp Fiction, pero sólo en la forma en que las historias son historias separadas que se cuentan en fragmentos que pueden o no superponerse. Sabe, tendrá que leerlo. ¡Pero creo que realmente le va a gustar!Je ne mourrai pas

Par Bruno Perreau. 2014
An argument that French adoption policies reflect and enforce the state's notions of gender, parenthood, and citizenship. In May 2013,…
after months of controversy, France legalized same-sex marriage and adoption by homosexual couples. Obstacles to adoption and parenting equality remain, however—many of them in the form of cultural and political norms reflected and expressed in French adoption policies. In The Politics of Adoption, Bruno Perreau describes the evolution of these policies. In the past thirty years, Perreau explains, political and intellectual life in France have been dominated by debates over how to preserve “Frenchness,” and these debates have driven policy making. Adoption policies, he argues, link adoption to citizenship, reflecting and enforcing the postcolonial state's notions of parenthood, gender, and Frenchness.After reviewing the complex history of adoption, Perreau examines French political debates over adoption, noting, among other things, that intercountry adoptions stirred far less controversy than the difference between the sexes in an adopting couple. He also discusses judicial action on adoption; child welfare agencies as gatekeepers to parenthood (as defined by experts); the approval process from the viewpoints of social workers and applicants; and adoption's link to citizenship, and its use as a metaphor for belonging.Adopting a Foucaultian perspective, Perreau calls the biopolitics of adoption “pastoral”: it manages the individual for the good of the collective “flock”; it considers itself outside politics; and it considers not so much the real behavior of individuals as an allegorical representation of them. His argument sheds new light on American debates on bioethics, identity, and citizenship.Childhood and Adolescence: Voyages in Development (Fifth Edition)

Par Mark Worden, Terry S Trepper. 1991
This comprehensive book introduces and integrates adolescent developmental themes and family system theory into a coherent assessment and intervention model.…
Author Mark Worden views the adolescent as active in shaping the family interactions as much as the family is influential in shaping the adolescent’s behavior. He takes a pragmatic approach to therapy, emphasizing what best explains the clinical phenomena and what works best for change. To this end, a heavy emphasis is placed on the process of evaluation and intervention of adolescents and their families with typical therapeutic dilemmas. This practical book is organized to take the reader through the first evaluation interview, through the planning of intervention strategies, and through the beginning, middle, and termination phases of treatment. Case examples bring Adolescents and Their Families to life, highlighting conceptual discussions. Topics discussed in this important book range from the integration of adolescent and family psychology, to the employment of a contextual-dialectic (“goodness-of-fit”) paradigm to evaluate adolescent-family interface, to matching the intervention with the family. A step-by-step discussion of the first interview and diverse intervention strategies are discussed, as are frequent clinical syndromes--acting-out, underachievement, eating disorders, divorce/single parenthood, depression, and suicide. Graduate students and clinicians will find this appealing book an ideal resource, as will experienced therapists beginning to work with adolescents and families. The book will also serve as an excellent primary or ancillary text for graduate courses in psychotherapy with adolescents and in family therapy courses. High school guidance counselors, social workers, and psychologists will also find many valuable applications in this timely book.Assessing Child Maltreatment Reports: The Problem of False Allegations
Par Jerome Beker, Michael Robin. 1991
This seminal book in the literature of child protective services stimulates critical thinking and informed discussion for those professionals and…
educators concerned with the quality of children’s protective services. The first book of its kind to present scholarly reports on false allegations, Assessing Child Maltreatment Reports tackles the age-old problem of deciding which reports, verbal or written, represent truth and which represent falsehood. When one deals with accusations in the area of child maltreatment, special problems are posed. This vital resource brings home the complexity and seriousness of confronting the need to separate true reports from false reports. Given the serious consequences of reports of maltreatment, determining the accuracy or inaccuracy of such reports is of major critical importance to all concerned and the parents, children, and professionals directly involved. This book deals effectively and practically with the everyday work of assessing the validity and reliability of maltreatment reports and guides professionals through rough waters of finding truth with helpful research.This courageous book provides hope for establishing a deeper understanding of the broad system of child protection and consequently, enables professionals to better handle individual crises and cases. Containing a range of chapters--authored by leading academic researchers and practitioners in child welfare services in the United States--which examine the policy and practice issues related to false allegations of child abuse and neglect, this volume provides guideposts for further research and discussion. College and university students in child welfare and related programs, human service practitioners working in child protective and welfare services, and the larger public--both parents and professionals working with children--who have an interest in this important issue, will find Assessing Child Maltreatment Reports a compassionate approach to a sensitive issue.Understanding the Male Hustler
Par Sam Steward. 1991
This book is a serious study of male hustlers using experiential dialogue to introduce the reader to real-life concepts and…
experiences that otherwise could not be effectively conveyed. An intriguing attempt to get into the mind and personality of the male hustler through a largely imagined series of dialogues between a well-known fictional hustler and his so-called amanuensis, Samuel Steward, this unique book covers all aspects of the hustler’s motivations, activities, life style, adjustments, advantages, and disadvantages. It accomplishes this dispassionately, without prejudgment, moral censure, approbation, or more than cursory involvement. Therapists and counselors in all fields of sexual functioning will find here some understanding of the causes and impulses (beyond the popular “broken home syndrome”) that lead young males into prostitution. It signals some of the signposts to danger and serious threats to health that accompany the profession of prostitution and also explains to counselors some of the activities and practices of the male prostitute, enabling them to have a better understanding of the fascination and peril of the hustler’s life. The brevity of success in such a calling is also considered, with some consideration for the necessity of long-range planning for the hustler’s future.Important contents: interview of a well-known hustler brief look at early male prostitution--Greek, Roman, Burton’s theory the peacock period and youth as a prerequisite for hustling lures of the profession--money, power, other motivations paths and mechanisms leading to hustling characteristics of different types of hustlers types of clients patronizing hustlers literary illuminations the modus operandi of the male hustler extraordinary dangers confronting the male hustler today the attractiveness of the “seeing-through” of a hustler to past clients quo vadis for the hustler after youth passes Readers will be amazed by the daily hazards and drawbacks as well fascinated by the curiosities and rewards of the hustler’s profession. Especially of interest to therapists and counselors, Understanding the Male Hustler is also valuable for sociologists, anthropologists, medical specialists, psychiatrists, psychologists.Men Who Beat the Men Who Love Them: Battered Gay Men and Domestic Violence
Par Patrick Letellier, David Island. 1991
Domestic violence in gay male relationships is the third largest health problem for gay men in America today. Men Who…
Beat the Men Who Love Them breaks the silence surrounding gay male domestic violence and exposes this hidden yet prevalent and destructive problem. The authors paint a vivid picture of gay men’s domestic violence, bringing its brutality to life by including personal narratives, written by one of the authors, by clearly defining what it is and what it is not through lists of violent acts and criminal code categories, and by thoroughly examining and analyzing the criminal, mental health, medical, political, and interpersonal issues involved. The authors boldly depart from the battered women’s literature by asserting that batterers have a diagnosable mental disorder, that battering is not gender based, and that much further criminalization of domestic violence is necessary.Striving for victim advocacy, the book underscores the idea that gay men’s domestic violence is totally unacceptable and is caused solely by individual abusive gay men who choose to batter. The book builds on and departs from what is known about domestic violence, with the authors challenging several fundamental premises in the literature, unabashedly identifying battering as a mental disorder. The authors explain that victims cannot stop their battering partners from battering and virtually all batterers choose to harm their partners in a premeditated fashion. The authors provide practical steps and suggestions for victims who want to leave and stay away from their violent partners and for friends who want to help battered gay men. Chapters describe the scope of the problem and refute myths and misconceptions. There are several detailed theory chapters in which the authors explain why gay men’s domestic violence occurs, who the batterers are, who the victims are at different stages of victimization, and how domestic violence can be stopped. A visionary, wide-ranging governmental and private plan of action is introduced, including lists of necessary laws and policies, as well as outlines of strong education, training, and advertising problems needed in various sectors of society. As a self-help book, Men Who Beat the Men Who Love Them provides practical information on a never-before discussed topic. As a trainer’s manual or teaching guide, it includes specific criteria for understanding the problem and for providing treatment.Feminist Approaches for Men in Family Therapy
Par Michele Bograd. 1991
This book is the first of its kind to address the treatment of men in marital and family therapy from…
a political or feminist perspective. Feminist Approaches for Men in Family Therapy is an important and provocative addition to the field of family therapy and psychotherapy and works to deepen the understanding of men by using more traditional approaches. Timely and relevant to today’s interest in men’s issues, this book develops and demonstrates applications of treatment methods in straightforward prose from a variety of family therapy models. These techniques and methods enable anyone working with men--beginning and advanced clinicians, regardless of clinical preference or loyalty--to have a more effective practice with men. Truly reflecting its title, this provocative volume offers new ways of conceptualizing male development and the dilemmas of men in therapy, while providing exemplars of the wide range of clinical work this perspective enriches. Chapters concisely summarize the major benefits and limitations of conventional approaches to treating men and provide beginning conceptualizations of treatment issues with men that are grounded in social theory, sensitivity to power issues and the social context, and shifting cultural definitions of masculinity, femininity, and the nature of marriage. Other chapters employ the exciting and germane concepts of social constructionism to analyze belief systems about men and how cultural ideals shape and limit the personal development of men. An ideal resource for all therapists striving for excellence in treating men.In Their Voices: Black Americans on Transracial Adoption
Par Rhonda Roorda. 2015
While many proponents of transracial adoption claim that American society is increasingly becoming "color-blind," a growing body of research reveals…
that for transracial adoptees of all backgrounds, racial identity does matter. Rhonda M. Roorda elaborates significantly on that finding, specifically studying the effects of the adoption of black and biracial children by white parents. She incorporates diverse perspectives on transracial adoption by concerned black Americans of various ages, including those who lived through Jim Crow and the Civil Rights era. All her interviewees have been involved either personally or professionally in the lives of transracial adoptees, and they offer strategies for navigating systemic racial inequalities while affirming the importance of black communities in the lives of transracial adoptive families.In Their Voices is for parents, child-welfare providers, social workers, psychologists, educators, therapists, and adoptees from all backgrounds who seek clarity about this phenomenon. The author examines how social attitudes and federal policies concerning transracial adoption have changed over the last several decades. She also includes suggestions on how to revise transracial adoption policy to better reflect the needs of transracial adoptive families. Perhaps most important, In Their Voices is packed with advice for parents who are invested in nurturing a positive self-image in their adopted children of color and the crucial perspectives those parents should consider when raising their children. It offers adoptees of color encouragement in overcoming discrimination and explains why a "race-neutral" environment, maintained by so many white parents, is not ideal for adoptees or their families.Walking the Night Road: Coming of Age in Grief
Par Alexandra Butler. 2015
The house looked as if she'd brushed it over with a hurried hand. Things were open—drawers, cans, and closets. A…
pile of newspapers fanned out across the floor by the front door, and still I did not wonder. She must have dropped them as she ran, I thought. My mother was often late. But had I stopped to look, I would have seen the fear in the way the house had settled—a footstool that lay on its side, several books that had fallen from their shelves. When you count back, you can see a story from the end. I like that—the seemingly natural narrative that forms this way. With the end in my hand, the story becomes mine. I can have it all make sense, or I can lose my mind like she lost hers—like I lost her. But I can have my story. Walking the Night Road speaks to the experience of caring for a loved one with a terminal illness and the difficulties of encountering death. Alexandra Butler, daughter of the Pulitzer Prize–winning gerontologist Robert N. Butler and respected social worker and psychotherapist Myrna Lewis, composes a lyrical yet unsparing portrait of caring for her mother during her sudden, quick decline from brain cancer. Her rich account shares the strains of caregiving on both the provider and the person receiving care and recognizes the personal and professional sacrifices caregivers must make to fulfill the role. More than a memoir of dying and grief, Butler's account also tests many of the theories her parents pioneered in their work on healthy aging. Authors of such seminal works as Love and Sex After Sixty, Butler's parents were forced to rethink many of the tenets they lived by while Myrna was incapacitated, and Butler's father found himself relying heavily on his daughter to provide his wife's care. Butler's poignant and unflinching story is therefore a rare examination of the intimate aspects of aging and death experienced by practitioners who suddenly find themselves in the difficult position of the clients they once treated.Before I Got Here: The Wondrous Things We Hear When We Listen to the
Par Blair Underwood. 2005
NAACP Image Award–winning actor Blair Underwood collects the best of the profound words of America&’s children—including his own—in this touching…
collection perfect for sharing with loved ones.Blair Underwood, known to millions as a star of television and film, has delivered brilliant performances in Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker and as the voice of Makuu in Disney Channel&’s The Lion Guard, among others. But his proudest accomplishment is being a loving husband and father of three children who keep him in touch with the true meaning of life—not fame, but family. When Blair Underwood&’s young son told him the dream he had about &“the last night before there are no more mornings and no more nights,&” Underwood asked him, &“Who told you that?&” His son replied, &“God told me when he made me, but I only had one ear at the time, so I could only hear a little.&” Through conversations with family and friends, Underwood discovered how very often people have children who say things that have &“left them with their jaws on the floor.&” As a consequence, he and Donyell Kennedy-McCullough created a website as a destination for others to share their profound moments with children. The response from people all over the world was tremendous and led to the creation of Before I Got Here, a collection of the best of the conversations and stories from people&’s responses, revealing just how brilliant and spiritually in tune our children can be. Before I Got Here makes you smile in the tradition of Kids Say the Darndest Things, and inspires—with the wonderful photographs of children taken by coauthor Donyell Kennedy-McCullough—is a wonderful gift for ourselves and others, showing the inherent wisdom that children possess, with the power to astound us and change our lives.
