Book Synopsis Understanding and Managing Parental Alienation by : Janet Haines
Download or read book Understanding and Managing Parental Alienation written by Janet Haines and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Understanding and Managing Parental Alienation: A Guide to Assessment and Intervention, Janet Haines, Mandy Matthewson and Marcus Turnbull offer a comprehensive analysis of contemporary understanding of parental alienation. Grounded in recent scientific advances, this is the first book of its kind providing resources on how to identify parental alienation and a guide to evidence-based intervention. Parental alienation is a process in which one parent manipulates their child to negatively perceive and reject the other parent. Recognising this phenomenon and knowing when to intervene is often the biggest challenge faced by practitioners and this book provides a guide to this process. Divided into six parts, it examines what parental alienation is and how it is caused, how it affects each family member as a mental health concern and form of violence, and how to assess, identify and intervene successfully from a legal and therapy standpoint. Taking on a gender-neutral approach, the book is filled with contemporary case examples from male and female perspectives, cutting-edge research, practitioner-client dialogues, and practitioners’ reflections to show the difficult realities of parental alienation. Practical and accessible, this is an essential resource for mental health professionals working with families experiencing parental alienation, as well as postgraduate students of clinical psychology, counselling, family therapy, social work, and child and family psychology. This book will also be of immense interest to family lawyers and mediators due to its multidisciplinary approach.

Book Synopsis Grandparents in a Digital Age by : Laura Tropp
Download or read book Grandparents in a Digital Age written by Laura Tropp and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-11-23 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the changing culture of grandparenting. Depending on the group, the period, and the family, grandparents have been powerful patriarchs and matriarchs, reliable second parents, dependents, burdens, or community figures. The book examines the history of grandparenting and the changing depiction of grandparent culture from “old” to “hip,” including the development of the celebrity grandparent, the emergence of media technologies that allow for new communication and relationships between grandparents and their grandchildren, new rituals associated with grandparenting, the growth of the marketing of grandparenting as a new stage of life, and the impact on our culture of the commodification of grandparenting. Prior to the twentieth century, within the United States the idea of the modern grandparent likely did not even exist. Many people did not live long enough to reach the grandparent stage of life. Today, people are living longer, and grandparenting is occupying a longer phase in one’s life. Grandparenting is becoming its own life stage, where new rituals exclusive to grandparents are emerging. Newer technologies, such as Skype, Google Hangout and FaceTime, allow grandparents who are far away to establish relationships with their children. Many grandparents also use social media and blogs to chronicle their experiences. Some grandparents have turned their grandparent lifestyle into a business. The representation of grandparenting in popular culture is shifting as well. Grandparents are becoming their own figures on television and film programs, including reality shows. Others have been thrust into the public eye across social media. Marketers have realized the power of this new consumer subgroup and have begun to direct marketing campaigns to grandparents. Yet, despite the pervasive images of grandparents, some of which present empowered figures, grandparent representation in popular media continues to mimic many of the stereotypes commonly associated with aging, encouraging people to laugh at versus laugh with these figures. The Third Act: Grandparenting in a Digital Age examines grandparenting through history, interviews, and popular culture to study the changing image of grandparents in society.

Book excerpt: Ghosts aren’t meant to stick around forever... Shelly and her grandmother catch ghosts. In their hair. Just like all the women in their family, they can see souls who haven’t transitioned yet; it’s their job to help the ghosts along their journey. When Shelly’s mom dies suddenly, Shelly’s relationship to ghosts—and death—changes. Instead of helping spirits move on, Shelly starts hoarding them. But no matter how many ghost cats, dogs, or people she hides in her room, Shelly can’t ignore the one ghost that’s missing. Why hasn’t her mom’s ghost come home yet? Rooted in a Cree worldview and inspired by stories about the author’s great-grandmother’s life, The Ghost Collector delves into questions of grief and loss, and introduces an exciting new voice in tween fiction that will appeal to fans of Kate DiCamillo’s Louisiana’s Way Home and Patrick Ness’s A Monster Calls.
Download or read book Intrepid Souls written by Farrukh Jamal and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intrepid Souls is the story of millions of minorities who live in India, struggle for equal rights, humane treatment, and survival. The hatred projected by the Hindu majority, especially towards Muslims, is immense, uncontrolled, and often supported by those in charge of maintaining law and order. This book provides an understanding of the inglorious and dangerous idealism of the Hindu nationalism which will eventually lead to instability and insecurity in the nation. A nation must support its minorities and in turn, the minorities must support the nation for its survival. This is not the India where Farrukh Jamal grew up; nor where her ancestors lived. They loved this land and worked hard to make it a wonderful place as the Muslim minority of today is doing. However, the sense of belonging inherited by them via their ancestors is now being obliterated through violence and coercive efforts of the majority to remove Muslims from the fabric of Indian society. She grew up not just facing discrimination but also fearful of unprovoked occurrences of riot and violence. Intermittent wars with Pakistan also jeopardized the lives of the Muslims in India because they were perceived as enemies. What protected her was the profound love of her parents, their emphasis on education, the kind and impartial treatment of the nuns in her English Catholic school and the support of friends regardless of religion.

Book Synopsis THE PARENTAL ALIENATION SYNDROME by : Linda J. Gottlieb
Download or read book THE PARENTAL ALIENATION SYNDROME written by Linda J. Gottlieb and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thought-provoking book, Ms. Gottlieb attempts to resolve the controversies surrounding Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) by providing substantial empirical evidence from her treatment cases in support of the eight symptoms which child psychiatrist, Richard Gardner, had identified as occurring in the PAS child, and she further exemplifies the commonality of the alienating maneuvers among the alienating parents. The author redefines the typically-held characterization of the parents’ relationship as portrayed in the pertinent literature and accepted by most PAS-aware professionals. Numerous case examples are explored: horrific tales of manufactured child abuse; referrals to child protective services (CPS) resulting in suspension of visits between targeted parents and their children; meritless reports to police alleging domestic violence in support of orders of protection which slander and stigmatize targeted parents; exclusionary tactics preventing targeted parents’ involvement in their children’s medical, educational, social lives and activities; and depletion of targeted parents’ resources due to legal fees required to defend himself/herself and to obtain judicial enforcement of parental rights. Ms. Gottlieb methodically documents that PAS is a form of emotional child abuse of the severest kind. The author provides an unprecedented number of treatment summaries, which demonstrate the effectiveness of structural family therapy in treating the PAS family. To further elucidate the subject, the author interviewed several matrimonial attorneys, Law Guardians, and forensic evaluators regarding their experiences with PAS, and she incorporated their thoughts into her recommendations as to how the mental health and judicial communities should resolve this situation in the best interests of the child. “New Rules” are suggested which encourage a collaborative rather than an adversarial approach to child custody. This book will be an excellent resource for parents who are divorcing or are in conflict, for adult-child victims of PAS, for mature children of divorcing parents, for judges, for Law Guardians, for matrimonial attorneys, for therapists, for child protective personnel, for law enforcement----and for the professional rescuer who believes that a child must be saved from a parent.
Book Synopsis My Grandma Is an Angel Now by : Sarita Havens
Download or read book My Grandma Is an Angel Now written by Sarita Havens and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2008-09 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was actually inspired by the passing of my father and my grandmother. My grandmother passed around seven years ago and my father recently passed away in 2007. My father leaving this earth made me realize how valuable time is, and I really had a lot of dreams I never set out to accomplish because I was too afraid of failing. I never quite got over the passing of my grandmother, and she was the backbone of our family. Now I am striving to reach my dreams and no longer holding back to inspire more people like myself who are afraid to reach for things that seem so unattainable but are right within their grasp. These life-changing experiences were the first I had to experience in my life that were so close to home. It made me think about how a child would feel losing close loved ones and what they might go through. I am a teacher, and children have always been the number one inspiration in my life since my adulthood. Anything I can do to help, encourage, or enhance the life of any child is one of my main purposes in life.
Book Synopsis A Twentieth Century Woman by : Aline Poole Ludwig
Download or read book A Twentieth Century Woman written by Aline Poole Ludwig and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2003-06-12 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Woman of the 20th Century is the story of a life in the most advanced century ever, one that offered greater technology and knowledge and freedom, as well as more riches to be able to enjoy it. The big challenge, though, was figuring out how to handle the freedom and use it to have access to all the new wonderful things. The author, Aline, was born into a family whose financial security and class status had been ruined by the sudden unexpected deaths from pneumonia, when her parents were children, of both of her successful grandfathers. Very soon, she began receiving the message that she was somehow supposed to regain what had been lost, since her parents had been trying very hard to do so but somehow not quite succeeding. The road to success turned out to be through new territory and offered important insights about the emotional needs of humans and the good and bad sides of gender expectations for both men and women. Two permanent detours made it end in an entirely different place than it would have if she had listened to her family or traveled in earlier centuries.
