Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a novel analysis of communication in stepfather-stepson relationships and is one of the first to examine the ways stepfathers communicate and to integrate the perspectives of adolescents into research on stepfamily communication. In order to understand the complex dynamics of stepfamilies, Jonathan Pettigrew presents six case studies of different families. They are written as engaging narratives - including interviews - that offer flavorful accounts of family members and their relationships with each other. Pettigrew then looks across cases to identify, describe, and examine patterns of stepfather support. This book builds upon current understandings of stepfamily life by providing a descriptive and heuristic model of supportive stepfather-stepson communication, making it valuable for those who study and work with families.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fathers are critical to their children's growth and development. Research on the involvement of men with their children stresses the important role that fathers play from infancy to adolescence. Due to the ethnically diverse population of fathers in America, culture and context frames the nature of fathering and shapes expectations within a cultural milieu. The book offers a wide range of vantage points–social work, family studies, marriage and family therapy, counseling, sociology, psychology, gender studies, anthropology, cultural and ethnic studies, urban studies, and health. There are five primary parts within this book, each of which looks at numerous facets of fatherhood in the twenty-first century. Part I defines the concept of fatherhood and family composition, becoming a father, young fathers, single fathers, fathers and daughters, and examines the father-son relationship. Part II looks at nonresident fathers, homeless fathers, incarcerated fathers, and the never married fathers. Part III reviews biological fathers, stepfathers, male foster carers, fatherhood and adoption, and gay fathers. Part IV examines the cultural dimensions of fatherhood, including Latino, African American, and Native American. Part V explores the fatherhood service delivery system by engaging fathers in culturally competent services, measuring the father's involvement, and the initiatives to support fathering. The context, practice, and gaps in responsible fatherhood programs are discussed. This informative and sensitive book will be useful for researchers, students, and professionals in the field of social work, health, family counseling, and human services. Applicable in classrooms and treatment situations, Fatherhood in America bridges the gap between research and practice through chapters authored by some of the country's foremost fatherhood scholars and clinicians by offering fresh perspectives and keen insights borne out of field experience working with fathers.

This book was released on 2015-02-04 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il presente lavoro intende essere un supporto per lo studio e l’esercitazione della Lingua Inglese soprattutto nelle sue particolarità lessicali e funzionali-comunicative. Lo strumento didattico qui proposto si propone innanzitutto di aiutare gli studenti ad ampliare il proprio vocabolario e ad esercitarlo correttamente in contesti scritti, quindi di fornire agli studenti stessi gli strumenti linguistici adeguati per l’approccio al testo scritto ed alla sua comprensione. Il volume si compone di nove Unità, organizzate tematicamente. Alcune di queste sono a loro volta suddivise in due parti, ognuna delle quali basata su argomenti fra loro affini o correlati. Le aree tematiche scelte sono fra quelle più familiari allo studente e riscontrabili nelle situazioni ed esperienze della quotidianità: relazioni interpersonali, familiari e sociali, le attività di ogni giorno, la scuola, lo sport, gli hobbies ed il tempo libero, il cibo, lo shopping, l’ambiente, i viaggi ed il turismo. Ogni Unità si articola in diverse sezioni, di difficoltà crescente, che intendono guidare lo studente nella progressiva acquisizione della padronanza della lingua nel suo passaggio dall’organizzazione frasale a quella testuale. All’interno di ogni singola Unità, la prima sezione è denominata “Vocabulary”: si tratta di un elenco di vocaboli e funzioni comunicative fondamentali, relativi al tema oggetto dell’Unità; tali vocaboli e funzioni sono presentati nella versione inglese e nella traduzione italiana. A completamento viene fornita la spiegazione di parole, locuzioni o aspetti lessicali e comunicativi, che possono essere di interesse particolare per gli studenti o che per gli stessi possono essere motivo di confusione La seconda sezione è denominata “Testing Vocabulary” e comprende esercizi che testano la capacità di usare correttamente all’interno di semplici frasi il vocabolario acquisito. La terza sezione prende in esame il meccanismo di formazione delle parole (Word Formation) attraverso l’ utilizzo di suffissi o prefissi. Tale sezione si correda di esercizi che richiedono allo studente il completamento di spazi bianchi (gaps) con parole create da un vocabolo-base fornito. La quarta sezione si concentra sulla comprensione testuale (Reading Comprehension). Dopo l’acquisizione del lessico di base, gli studenti possono così avvicinarsi al testo nella sua più articolata e complessa organizzazione. Gli esercizi scelti a tale riguardo comprendono testi con spazi bianchi da riempirsi con vocaboli forniti a scelta multipla (multiple choice cloze texts) e / o testi completi corredati da domande con opzioni di risposte sempre a scelta multipla. Alcune Unità contemplano in tale sezione esercizi che richiedono di trovare informazioni in un testo e di completare una griglia relativa con dati desunti dal brano proposto. In altri capitoli, invece, si trovano jumbled texts, brevi frasi da riorganizzare in modo tale da ottenere un brano coeso. Ogni Unità comprende inoltre una Grammar Revision. Lontano dal volere essere una sezione grammaticale esaustiva, tale parte intende essere un “richiamo” degli argomenti grammaticali prevalenti all’interno dell’Unità e, soprattutto, un invito alla revisione delle particolarità grammaticali stesse all’interno del testo di grammatica di riferimento adottato. Al termine di questa introduzione si precisa che le fonti bibliografiche da cui sono stati tratti brani e / o esercizi contenuti all’interno della seguente dispensa sono chiaramente indicate. Tale materiale, desunto da testi che spaziano dalla preparazione al PET a manuali adatti alla prepazione per il superamento del CAE, sono stati sottoposti ad una rielaborazione per conformarli alle esigenze dei destinatari della seguente pubblicazione. Come grammatica di riferimento si è preferito avvalersi del testo: Michael Swan, Practical English Usage, Oxford. Nato dall’esperienza didattica maturata in questi ultimi anni nell’ambito del SELDA e dal riscontro delle difficoltà che gli studenti si trovano ad affrontare nel loro approccio alla Lingua Inglese, il volume si propone ora auspicabilmente come ulteriore e valido strumento di studio e di approfondimento.

Book excerpt: This book uses a strengths-based approach and resilience perspective to offer guidance on what works in creating effective stepfamily relationships, sharing findings and empirically supported best practices for stepfamily members and the family professionals that work with them. Drawing from over 2,500 studies, Ganong, Coleman, and Sanner present a comprehensive overview of research on what works to create positive and satisfying stepfamily relationships. Chapters address how to work with stepcouples, stepparents, biological parents, co-parents, stepsiblings and half-siblings, and biological and stepgrandparents, with illustrative case studies throughout. It emphasizes the diversity and complexity of stepfamilies, including work with LGBTQ+ stepfamilies, stepfamilies from various racial and ethnic groups, and stepfamily relationships across the life course, from childrearing stepfamilies to those formed later in life. This book is essential reading for students, researchers, and practitioners interested in strengthening stepfamily relationships, such as those studying or working in family science, marriage and family therapy, psychology, and social work.

Book excerpt: What's the most common family form today? In what ways can we define "family" that ensure it is inclusive of all family forms? Despite the current diverse nature of family forms, which functions are fulfilled by the family regardless of its makeup> In what ways do family members function to nurture and control each other through their changing roles and rules to maintain their family identity? Family Communication examines the role communication plays in family development and maintenance--from a consideration of what constitutes a "family" (according to various governmental, religious, and social science orientations), to the initiation of dating relationships and romantic commitment, to adding and raising socio-emotionally competent children. Also explored are the roles that communication plays in maintaining intimacy and closeness in the family and in managing family conflicts and tensions. In addition, unique emphasis is given to how cognitions and emotions influence communication outcomes in the family. Despite the diversity of family forms today, families all share one thing in common--they all include some form of nurturing and control: support and development and behavior control and limitations; nurturing communication to encourage intimacy development and maintenance and controlling communication to resolve conflict and change undesirable behavior. By organizing the study of family communication around the concepts of nurturing and control, author Beth Le Poire emphasizes the central role that communication plays in both families if origin and newly formed families.

Book excerpt: Focusing on the territories of the Holy Roman Empire from the early Reformation to the mid-eighteenth century, this volume of fifteen interdisciplinary essays examines some of the structures, practices and media of communication that helped shape the social, cultural, and political history of the period. Not surprisingly, print was an important focal point, but it was only one medium through which individuals and institutions constructed publics and communicated with an audience. Religious iconography and ritual, sermons, music, civic architecture, court ceremony, street gossip, acts of violence, are also forms of communication explored in the volume. Bringing together scholars from diverse disciplines and scholarly backgrounds, this volume transcends narrow specializations and will be of interest to a broad range of academics seeking to understand the social, political and cultural consequences of the "information revolution" of Reformation Europe.

Book excerpt: The ultimate must-read handbook for the modern mother: a practical, and positive tool to help free women from the debilitating notion of being the "perfect mom," filled with funny and all too relatable true-life stories and realistic suggestions to stop the burnout cycle, and protect our kids from the damage burnout can cause. Moms, do you feel tired? Overwhelmed? Have you continually put off the things you need to do for you? Do you feel like it’s all worth it because your kids are happy? Are you "over" being a mother? If you answered yes to these questions, you’re not alone. Parents today want to create the ideal childhood for their children. Women strive to be the picture-perfect Pinterest mother that looks amazing, hosts the best birthday parties in town, posts the most "liked" photos, and serves delicious, nutritious home-cooked meals in her neat, organized home after ferrying the kids to school and a host of extracurricular activities on time. This drive, while noble, can also be destructive, causing stress and anxiety that leads to "mommy burnout." Psychologist and family counselor Dr. Sheryl Ziegler is well-versed in the stress that moms face, and the burden of guilt they carry because they often feel like they aren’t doing enough for their kids’ happiness. A mother of three herself, Dr. Z—as she’s affectionately known by her many patients—recognizes and understands that modern moms are all too often plagued by exhaustion, failure, isolation, self-doubt, and a general lack of self-love, and their families are also feeling the effects, too. Over the last nineteen years working with families and children, Dr. Z has devised a prescriptive program for addressing "mommy burnout"—teaching moms that they can learn to re-energize themselves and still feel good about their families and their lives. In this warm and empathetic guide, she examines this modern epidemic among mothers who put their children’s happiness above their own, and offers empowering, proven solutions for alleviating this condition, saving marriages and keeping kids happy in the process.
