B&gt; Written to help family therapy professionals and students understand issues that affect clinical treatment of Hispanic Americans, this book highlights the diversity of the people who make up the fabric of what is commonly referred to as "Latino culture". The terms "Hispanic" and "Latino" are used interchangeably to refer to descendants of people whose primary language is Spanish or Portuguese. Most of the chapter contributors are Hispanic or bicultural, and contribute their own personal stories to enhance their narratives. The authors point out, "Recognizing differences that count and developing that essential curiosity about the experience of another is at the heart of each author's therapeutic approach." The book covers interventions, identity formation of men and women in the Hispanic culture, demographics, and specific information on health care, spirituality, and other issues that affect Hispanic family life. Chapters 4 and 5 focus on how therapists from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds can be effective in dealing with Latinos/Hispanics in family therapy. Market:For social workers, counselors, and other helping professionals and volunteers who want to relate to Hispanic clients more effectively.

As her mother Joan lies dying, Gabrielle Carey writes a letter to Joan’s childhood friend, the reclusive novelist Randolph Stow. This letter sets in motion a literary pilgrimage that reveals long-buried family secrets. Like her mother, Stow had grown up in Western Australia. After early literary success and a Miles Franklin Award in 1958 for his novel To the Islands, he left for England and a life of self-imposed exile. Living most of her life on the east coast, Gabrielle was also estranged from her family’s west Australian roots but never questioned why. A devoted fan of Stow’s writing, she becames fascinated by his connection with her extended family, but before she can meet him he dies. With only a few pieces of correspondence to guide her, Gabrielle embarks on a journey from the red-dirt landscape of Western Australia to the English seaside town of Harwich in a quest to understand her family’s past and Stow’s place in it. Moving Among Strangers is a celebration of one of Australia’s most enigmatic and visionary writers.

'When I discovered Elizabeth von Arnim, I found, for the first time, a writer who wrote about being happy.' Elizabeth von Arnim is one of the early twentieth century's most famous--and almost forgotten--authors. She was ahead of her time in her understanding of women and their often thwarted pursuit of happiness. Born in Sydney in the mid-1800s, she went on to write many internationally bestselling novels, marry a Prussian Count and then an English Lord, develop close friendships with H.G. Wells and E.M. Forster, and raise five children. Intrigued by von Arnim's extraordinary life, Gabrielle Carey sets off on a literary and philosophical journey to learn about this bold and witty author. More than a biography, Only Happiness Here is also a personal investigation into our perennial obsession with finding joy.
