Licensed Clinical Social Worker Wendy A. West Pidkaminy has penned a compelling, important book especially for stressed-out Christian parents and caregivers. Inside, she carefully teaches an immensely successful and easy to understand method for raising and encouraging triumphant, ethical children and teens - no matter how difficult or challenging they may be at this moment or how dire their clinical diagnoses. Based on the Nurtured Heart Approach developed by Howard Glasser, the strategy increases positive parental engagement with young children and teens in ways that nurture, inspire and guide them to uncover their inner wealth and harness it in ways that will carry them to their goals without circuitous routes and painful missteps along the way.

Sometimes psychotherapists can find themselves overwhelmed with the administrative aspect of their therapeutic practice. The sheer volume of information required for client intake forms, consent forms, insurance documentation and filing, progress notes, and HIPAA requirements, to name a few, can be a daunting prospect, particularly for the sole practitioner or small practice. Forms are an efficient and simple means of ensuring that repetitive tasks are handled correctly and with ease. The accurate and thorough gathering of information provided in forms is the key to a practice that is not only successful but income-producing. Many professionals desire to design their own forms to streamline routine procedures. At Therapist 2 Go, we have endeavored to develop and streamline an organization and information management system that is straightforward and easy to use. This manual will show that forms do not have to be complicated to be functional and efficient and to capture the client information that you need to provide effective therapeutic treatment. It will provide you with the tools you need to run an efficient, profitable business, allowing you to spend more time focused on the therapeutic process and less time on routine administrative tasks. This book includes the entire set of 23 Therapist 2 Go Practice Forms. A CD included with the book contains Microsoft Word and Excel versions of the forms that you can easily customize for your own practice!

Do You Love Yourself? Second Edition

This thought provoking book Adolescent &amp; Young Adult Addiction, The Pathological Relationship to Intoxication and The Interpersonal Neurobiology Underpinnings discusses the struggles of that the youth of today are faced with and puts forth that adolescent and young adult addicts are not addicted to marijuana, alcohol, ecstasy, oxycontin, heroin, etc. In fact, the name of the drug is an illusion as they are hooked on a pathological relationship to intoxication. This book bridges the gap between the mental health and the addiction fields. In addition, this book helps the reader to understand that there is no separation between relationships, mind and brain (bio-psycho-social). The peak of intoxication is a release of neurotransmitters, such as, dopamine and often opiate/endorphins. These regulatory systems are actually built, sustained, broken and also repaired in attuned and mis-attuned relationships. How is this so? How does it get repaired? How do we bring this awareness to the client, family and offer the experience of attuned relationships? How do pressures of our left brain, solution focused, material chasing, on-the-go culture contribute to this problem? Adolescents and young adults are not supposed to ask for help as it is the role of the social systems to work together in a way that helps them recognize their drug use as a problem. After these systems have helped to lift the bottom and dislodge the addict s relationship to intoxication, then the work is on understanding and treating the underpinnings that drive addiction. If the underpinnings are not dealt with, then relapse and cross-addictions will occur. Utilizing attuned relationships to rewrite the internal working model, and sustain neurobiological regulatory systems is the key for long term sobriety... Jon Daily, LSCW, CADCII is an expert in the specialized field of adolescent and young adult addictive disorders and dual diagnosis. Jon s wisdom on understanding and treating today s youth combined with his ability to conceptualize and translate interpersonal neurobiology in a straight forward applicable fashion is a real gift to the reader. At the end of this read, clinicians who have been in the field treating this issue will find that gaps in their approach to understanding and treating youth with addictive disorders have been filled. Likewise, family members and addicts themselves will have a better look into the gears that drive this illness and the variables that contribute to wellness.

50 Pathways to Parenting Wisdom is an enlightening collection of practical ideas for good parenting. The fact that this little book is very concise is a further enhancement for busy parents to read and learn from . The author, Shira Frank, provides the tools which will benefit parents and children alike. May Hashem grant her much success in helping Klal Yisroel.   Rav Shmuel Kamenetzky, Rosh Yeshiva, Talmudical Yeshiva of Philadelphia  Shira Frank has written a highly practical guide to parenting our children in an increasingly complex world. Informed by decades of practice as a therapist helping parents strike the delicate balance between love and limits, this book presents easily implemented approaches to raising children through use of praise, empathy and an unemotional and gentle strategy for limit setting. In addition to suggesting practical, Torah-informed strategies for improving communication, Mrs. Frank tackles special challenges such as helping children deal with divorce, and providing guidance for parents faced with the unique stress of parenting children with special conditions such as attention deficit disorder, anxiety disorders or pervasive developmental disorder. Shira Frank has provided our community with an invaluable resource for helping parents navigate the increasingly complex demands of raising children. I highly recommend this book.    David Pelcovitz, Ph.D., Professor, Straus Chair in Psychology and Education, Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration, Yeshiva University.   Without question, the greatest challenge people face is successful parenting. The traditions and practices that formed the framework in the shtetl are gone, and the high-tech, instant-gratification of our culture require special techniques to raise healthy, productive, happy and respectful children. Shira Frank has provided us with 50 techniques, stated concisely and clearly, to help us meet this awesome challenge of modern life.   Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, MD
