Psychology & Counseling

Susan Robinson has written a first of its kind workbook for female adolescents who sexually abuse.

Growing Beyond (2002) is an excellent resource for those approaches, focusing on telling what they did, dealing with their own victimization, realizing the impact of abuse on themselves and those they abused, developing positive sexuality, and building self-esteem. Each chapter includes homework assignments and exercises.

Using Conscience As A Guide: Student Manual

Niki Delson

This book focuses on the complex, and often incomprehensible, world of power struggles between adults and acting out kids in their care. Adults who could benefit from this book include parents, foster parents, public and special education teachers, therapists and counselors, child care staff and case workers. Topics include: who is really responsible for power struggles, why these struggles occur, the different reasons kids start them, what kids (as well as us as adults) ‘get’ from being in them, how to prevent them, and how to respond once they have started. The author discusses a range of techniques to prevent, avoid and defuse such struggles. These are some of the key strategies she and her colleagues have used with consistent success over the past twenty-seven years in both residential and day settings with thousands of defiant children and teens. This book is easy reading as well as a practical resource for parents and/or professionals who want to look at their own roles in the

Try and Make Me! Power Struggles: A Book of Strategies for Adults Who Live and Work with Angry Kids by Penny Cunninggim (2004) Paperback

There are few books available that so readily capture the realities of working with deeply troubled children. Reprinting this classic work will contribute to the quality healing work to which the best practitioners are committed. As stated by Dr. Craig Latham, Ph.D., a nationally recognized forensic psychologist who works daily with this population: “Too often, those of us treating children in residential facilities or hospitals become preoccupied with the goal of maintaining a safe and orderly environment at the expense of everything else. We create elaborate behavioral plans, as though rewards and sanctions alone, cleverly bestowed and imposed, were enough. Dr. Cotton reminds us of the profound, yet often overlooked truth that there is meaning in the angry, disruptive, disorganized, and occasionally spiteful behavior of distressed children. She encourages us to hunt for that meaning, and to create a therapeutic holding environment in which safety and stability originate with the experience of being heard and understood." This clearly written book, filled with vivid case examples and an updated section on the behavioral implications of pervasive developmental delay, is a must for everyone working in residential or hospital settings. Like Albert Trieschman's classic, The Other Twenty Three Hours, which revolutionized thinking about residential care thirty-five years ago and is still relevant, Lessons from the Lion's Den is worth reading and reading again.
