Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. How did we get so angry?As a psychologist, I worked with angry people for thirty-five years on anger management. They have been in my life longer than that. My country seems angrier now than I can remember it being in the past. Not everyone barks at other people, attacks them or shoots them. Yet the national mood seems to be one of anger coming from an angry national divide with angry citizens on both sides of every issue.I have thought about how this happened and have consulted a variety of people and publications. I came up with a few findings and thought you might find them useful as well. Here are the questions I posed: How does it affect your life?What kinds of anger problems are there?Who is the target of your anger?How do you control anger toward you?How can you transform your anger?Have you wondered about any of these? Are you still looking for answers? Join me in an adventure to move away from anger and toward peace.Free SampleClick on See Inside next to cover photo on the left of this page.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. We first meet John Spador as he settles into an easy chair, musing about his aging body and reflecting on the duties he had completed that day, from Mass at 6 A.M. to a dinner with fellow priests. There are hints of his darker side when his thoughts are interrupted by a deputy sheriff and a social worker at his door. What follows is Spador's fall from grace over his recent abuse of a young parishioner. While he and the young man are spared the public humiliation of a trial, the circumstances cause Spador to lose his parish and his status, forcing him to admit his failings to his sister and her family on whom he now depends for the basic necessities of life. He must also face his accuser and the young man's parents. The fall from grace is an all too common story in the aftermath of the many abuse cases within the Catholic Church. The sordid headlines both fascinate and repulse us. However, once the perpetrator is convicted or perhaps given alternative punishment, the headlines go away. Langen's story goes further. How does Spador learn to confront his demons? How does he put his life back together? How does he reconcile God's justice with God's love? Spador is not necessarily a sympathetic character. He has become accustomed to the privilege that goes with his position. We have little indication that he was held in overly high regard by his parishioners. We learn that he is estranged from his brother and that his relations with his fellow priests lack any real depth, except possibly with the priest who becomes his spiritual advisor, Father Samuels. Spador also lacks introspection, perhaps because it would force him to examine his sexuality. His counselor, Dr. Barbara Phelan, guides him through this self discovery. At times he seems to flounder in his attempts, but Phelan's skills keep him on track. Solitary walks along the canal help Spador focus and give him a certain solace. At the book's conclusion, John is ready for his community service, helping ex-prisoners reintegrate into society. It is also John's reintegration from his hellish experience to the light of a new dawn with the insight to make the best of the remaining days allotted him by God.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Who is this book for?Teens who wonder if they are normalTeens facing challenges in their livesTeens who need help with relationshipsParents and grandparentsPeople who work with teens.As I started writing this book, I wondered whether I really knew what issues teens face. I decided that the best way to find out was to ask teens what concerned them and how they dealt with their concerns. I went in search of teens willing to talk with me about their lives. I found a number of teens who agreed to fill out a questionnaire and meet with me about what they had written. This book is an account of that process. The teens who participated were all from Western New York, some from rural Genesee County and others from urban Monroe County.As you read on, you will find stories based loosely on teens I have met over the years in my psychology practice. I wrote the stories to give you some examples of how teens might deal with certain issues. None of the characters in these stories are actual people.A teenager using the name Violet wrote the poems at the beginning of each chapter. She did not wish to have her real name published, so we will just know her as Violet.Each chapter has a story to introduce the topics found in that chapter. You will also find practical suggestions at the end of each chapter and sometimes within the chapters. These are designed to help you practice what is presented in that chapter. Hopefully they will help you make a little better sense of your teen years and challenges.My hope in writing this book is that you will come away with a better understanding of what weighs on other teens' minds and how they deal with their concerns. I also hope that as you read this book, you will come to see that your concerns and views are not so unusual. Maybe it will help you choose and appreciate your own way of approaching life. Perhaps this book will also give you a few new ideas about yourself and the world you live in. Although this book is primarily for teens, parents, grandparents and those who work with teens should also find it helpful in understanding and supporting the teens in their lives.Topics in this book include: The author as a teenHow you feel about youFeelings about everything elseFamily mattersFriendsProblem peersYour healthYour sexual selfBeing in loveWhen life gets difficult This item is printed on demand.
