Book Synopsis Perfecting Ourselves to Death by : Richard Winter
Download or read book Perfecting Ourselves to Death written by Richard Winter and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2009-09-20 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honored in 2006 as a "Year's Best Book for Preachers" by Preaching magazine. Perfect body. Perfect clothes. Perfect family. Perfect house. Perfect job. We strive for excellence in all areas of our lives. And there's nothing wrong with a healthy, mature pursuit of excellence. But what begins as healthy and normal can sometimes become neurotic and abnormal, leading to debilitating thoughts and behaviors: eating disorders anxiety and depression obsession and compulsions fear of failure relational dysfunction In Perfecting Ourselves to Death, Richard Winter explores the positive and negative effects of perfectionism on our lives. He looks at the seductive nature of perfectionism as it is reflected in today's media. He examines the price and perils of perfectionism. And he explores the roots of perfectionism, delving into what originally awakens this drive in us. After analyzing the negative feelings and defeatist behaviors that unhealthy perfectionism births, he provides practical strategies for how to change. "The important thing to see," writes Winter, "is that we are to strive to become better people, not just to be content with who we are or how we measure up to the standards of the culture around us." For Christians this means becoming more like Christ in every area of our lives. Here is the "perfect" book for those who struggle with perfectionism and for those pastors, counselors and friends who want to understand and help perfectionists.

Book Synopsis Personality in Intimate Relationships by : Luciano L'Abate
Download or read book Personality in Intimate Relationships written by Luciano L'Abate and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-04-07 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four decades of contributions to personality theory and family practice have earned Luciano L’Abate a worldwide reputation for therapeutic insights. Now he expands on his pathbreaking relational theory of personality to apply it to the twenty-first-century family in all its configurations. Personality in Intimate Relationships showcases L’Abate’s trademark elegant style and provocative ideas in his most accessible work to date. Based on Axes I and II of the DSM-IV, the book describes relationships along a readily identifiable continuum ranging from optimal functionality to severe pathology, linking the author’s conceptual framework to specific diagnostic strategies, therapeutic interventions, and prevention programs. L’Abate’s theory not only integrates individual and family theories and seemingly disparate schools of thought, but is also inclusive of nontraditional relationships—grandparent/grandchild dyads, adoptive families, same-sex couples, and others—that are often left out of the family literature. Among the key areas explored in the book: • Selfhood and self-differentiation • Confrontation and sharing of hurt feelings • Negotiating, bargaining, and problem-solving • Dealing with distance and closeness • Intimacy and the ability to love In addition, the reader is referred to complementary online appendices that supply helpful questionnaires, workbooks, and ideas for further applications. Personality in Intimate Relationships offers fresh perspective to all frontline practitioners as well as investigators in this area. It is also ideal for graduate courses in abnormal psychology and personal development.
Download or read book I Used to Be Gifted written by Mark Hess and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his new book, I Used to Be Gifted--Understanding, Nurturing, and Teaching Gifted Learners at Home and in the Classroom: Stories and Lessons from a Lifetime, long-time educator, Mark Hess, helps teachers and parents understand and nurture gifted learners and even--perhaps, in the process--themselves- by offering anecdotes, research from experts in the field, practical guides, lesson plans and units, and observations from 34 years in K-12 education. The opening chapters will help the reader understand gifted children with stories that are sometimes lighthearted, sometimes tugging on heartstrings, but always relatable and true. Through stories, readers are invited inside the experiences of giftedness--organically and congenially as if they were visiting on the author's back porch. Sit down and chat about these kids we love. Have a cookie? A glass of wine? But this book is so much more than a series of stories and an amused chuckle here and there. The stories are tied to research and observations from experts in gifted education and through a lifetime of the author's own readings in the field. In understanding our gifted learners, we hope to understand how to nurture them as well. "I Used to Be Gifted" provides the practical advice so desperately needed by teachers and parents on a daily basis. It contains four units for gifted learners appropriate for both home and school: two social-emotional units focused specifically on meeting the needs of gifted boys and girls, an engaging hands-on unit that spans the curriculum for our highly visual Generation Z students, and a series of differentiated menus which can be used by either gifted resource teachers or teachers in the regular classroom. All are kid-tested, developed, and refined over the years in the author's classrooms--elementary and middle school. In addition, links are provided to a wealth of free resources provided by the author. The section containing these units contains ready-to-print activities that can be used right away. Additionally, Mr. Hess takes the lead in exploring the lives of our younger generation of school children by dedicating an entire chapter to Generation Z and giftedness!
