Through an exploration of extensive case studies, this book demonstrates how the discovery and examination of original childhood attachment wounds is crucial to couples therapy. As many as half of all mental health referrals involve interpersonal issues and these very often relate to marital problems. Yet, after a half a century of couples therapy, we still lack a widely accepted treatment model for couples and there are relatively few training programs or graduate courses dedicated to the field. Why does an effective general approach to marital therapy remain so elusive? Working with Attachment in Couples Therapy: A Four-Step Model for Clinical Practice presents a series of in-depth case studies, which illustrate the seeking of the primary wound for each participant as it unfolds session by session and traces improvement in each couple while exploring past injuries. This book represents essential reading for any mental health professional working with couples, as well as those in training.

The traditions and celebrations described in this book provide an opportunity to pause and reflect on our natural world's dependence upon the cycles of the Earth and Sun. The suggested readings and activities provide a framework for celebrating what we know about these cycles and for sharing our curiosity about what we still have yet to learn, inspiring a sense of wonder about our universe and our place within it.An actor, artist, and educator, Jim Donovan shares the traditions and practices he and his family have developed over the years in a helpful, informative, and entertaining guide for those who would like to establish their own traditions celebrating the seasons.

This is the first major illustrated book to examine the life of this complex figure and this equally complex battle. Besides being lavishly illustrated and the first true photographic history of Custer, his Civil War exploits, and his Last Stand, this detailed narrative includes the latest groundbreaking research and analysis of the most fiercely debated battle in our nation's history. On June 25, 1876, George Armstrong Custer and his famed U.S. Seventh Cavalry attacked an encampment of Lakota and Cheyenne Indians. By the close of the day, the Battle of the Little Bighorn was over and the Civil War hero Custer was dead, along with more than 200 of his men. It was a shocking, unexpected defeat for the dashing one-time Boy General and a magnificent victory for Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and their warriors—although it became a last gasp for the Indians' way of life. The battle is over, but even now, 125 years later, Custer's Last Stand still fascinates and horrifies us, continuing to stir conroversy and spark vigorous debate.
