The Power of Resilience: Achieving Balance, Confidence, and Personal Strength in Your Life

FROM THE AUTHORS OF THE LANDMARK RAISING RESILIENT CHILDREN COMES A GUIDE TO RESILIENT LIVING FOR ADULTS "Brooks and Goldstein have created a uniquely wise guide summarizing a vast amount of research into a practical set of strategies to overcome adversity and live a stress-hardy life."--Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul® "Continuing their pioneering work on resilience, [Brooks and Goldstein] now show how and why it is never too late for adults to find strength and safety in life. A superb book!" --Edward Hallowell, M.D., author of Driven to Distraction and The Childhood Roots of Adult Happiness What is the source of the inner peace and selfconfidence that allows some people to see each new challenge as an exciting opportunity, while others see only defeat and stress? Is such admirable resilience something you have to be born with, or can anybody learn to have it? Readers get the answers to these and other profound life questions in The Power of Resilience. In this breakthrough guide, the authors show adults how to call forth and nurture the power of resilience in themselves. Writing with the authority of a half century of clinical psychology practice, they explain how "negative scripts"--repetitive, self-defeating ways of thinking and behaving--can lead to hopelessness, depression, and anxiety. Using real-life, moving stories from their work, they tell readers how to rewrite those scripts and cultivate inner strength and optimism in themselves and in those around them. And they propose powerful lessons on how to increase our abilities for empathy, problem solving, self-discipline, selfawareness, self-acceptance, and self-confidence.

Practitioner's Guide to Assessing Intelligence and Achievement

A complete guide to key intelligence and achievement tests and their effective use The tools used in the assessment process have changed dramatically in recent years. School and clinical psychologists need a comprehensive yet focused resource to which they can turn to learn the basics of key intelligence and achievement tests and how to use them in their assessments of children and adults. With its practical and straightforward presentation, Practitioner's Guide to Assessing Intelligence and Achievement provides that resource. Coedited by two well-known and respected scholars and researchers, Jack Naglieri and Sam Goldstein, the content in this timely book combines traditional and new conceptualizations of intelligence as well as ways to measure achievement. Truly readable and user-friendly, this book provides professionals with a single source from which to examine ability and achievement tests along the same general criteria. Each chapter is written by a leading scholar and test developer and is consistently structured for easy comparison of each test that is examined. Coverage includes: <ul>
<li> The theory underlying each test </li> <li> Description of each test </li> <li> Tips for administering and scoring each test </li> <li> Standardization, norms, and reliability of each scale </li> <li> Practical guidance for the use of each test </li> <li> Correspondence of each test to IDEA </li> </ul>
A practical tool designed to aid clinical psychologists in understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the various tests presented, Practitioner's Guide to Assessing Intelligence and Achievement provides students and practitioners with the information they need for their practice and testing efforts to be consistent with recent updates in the field and how those assessment instruments relate to changes in the laws that influence test use.

Until recently, scant consideration was given to the impact of learning and attention disorders throughout the lifespan. Fortunately, the rising tide of popular concern, coupled with recent federal regulations regarding disabled adults, has fueled new research into these areas. As a consequence, there is now little doubt that LD and ADHD often persist throughout a person's life and can pose serious personal, social, vocational, and emotional impediments. It is also clear that many of the concepts and strategies used in assessing and treating children with these problems do not apply to adults. Written by one of North America's leading authorities in the field of attention and learning disorders, this book provides researchers and practitioners with the first comprehensive review of the impact of attention and learning disorders on adults. Just as important, it arms them with practical guidelines for the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of these disorders. In Part I, Dr. Goldstein explores the relationship between LD, ADHD, and various psychiatric disorders and traces their course and outcome in late adolescence. He compares and contrasts leading theories and conceptual models of LD and ADHD and reviews the research concerning the academic, vocational, personal, and psychiatric status of adults with histories of LD and ADHD. He then introduces a multidisciplinary model for evaluating the academic, psychological, neuropsychological, and emotional status of adults with histories of learning disabilities. In Part II, Dr. Goldstein and other well-known authors critically assess current treatment and support strategies. Among topics covered in-depth are medical and nonmedical interventions, the latest drug therapies, contemporary vocational programs for individuals with histories of attention and learning disorders, college programs and services available to attention and learning disabled adults, and the legal rights of attention and learning disabled adults. Managing Attention and Learning Disorders in Late Adolescence and Adulthood is a valuable resource for clinical psychologists, counselors, social workers, and all other mental health professionals. Praise for other works by Sam Goldstein . . .Understanding and Managing Children's Classroom Behavior: A Biopsychological Approach ". . . it will make a contribution to the fields of education and mental health and to our understanding of children with special needs." --Robert Brooks, PhD, Director Department of Psychology, McClean Hospital Managing Attention Disorders in Children: A Guide for Practitioners ". . . a well-written, extremely readable addition to the literature on ADHD." --Journal of Clinical Psychology Hyperactivity: Why Won't My Child Pay Attention?: A Complete Guide to ADD for Parents, Teachers, and Community Agencies "An excellent resource for parents who want to know about the basics of ADD . . . practical information presented in a straightforward manner." --Harvey Parker, PhD Executive Director and Cofounder, CHADD "I was impressed with the very optimistic tone of the book, which reframed ADHD as 'risk-taking' . . . As a clinician intimately involved in the day-to-day treatment of ADHD children and their families, I know how helpful it will be to so many people involved with ADHD children . . ." --Barbara Ingersoll, PhD Clinical Director, Montgomery Child and Family Health Services
