In this honest and insightful she said/she said guide, sixteen-year-old Natalie Fuller tells all about her adventures and misadventures from ages thirteen through sixteen. Her brother, Greg, fills in on the later teen years. And Doris, the questioning, caring (and occasionally shell-shocked) mom offers her take on such mildly eye-opening and downright life-threatening topics as...alcohol and other drugs * sex and dating * school * appearances * partying * stealing * obsessions * secrets * lyingPromise You Won't Freak Out gives parents a complete picture of how teens really think, feel, and act.

The perceptive and beguiling tale of a young girl's development as only her father can see itChosen as one of the 50 Best Nonfiction Books of the Past 25 Years by Slate Like most biographies, Brian Hall's charming account of his daughter Madeleine begins at her birth. But unlike most biographies, it concludes with her third birthday. Along the way, it describes Madeleine's intriguing transition from infant solipsism through toddler self-absorption to a small person's sociability. Drawing on the same subtle humor and eye for detail that imbued I Should Be Extremely Happy in Your Company, his acclaimed novel of the Lewis and Clark expedition, Hall gives us a look at Madeleine's milestones: her first laugh, first words, first tantrum, and brings it all to life from the inside out. By speculating on his daughter's perceptions and experience as she grows, Hall gives us candid and informed insights into the evolution of language, attachments and separations, and a youngster's curiosity and fear. What emerges is a portrait of growing consciousness in action, a universal voyage whose every revelation and frustration is captured with stunning detail and intimacy.

This dissertation is comprised of three papers which consider prominent issues inbioethics. The three topics can be briefly stated as: 1) a refutation of the responsibilityobjection to abortion, 2) a rejection of the orthodox bioethical arguments attempting to justifyremoval of artificial nutrition and hydration from persistent vegetative state patients, and 3) ademand to revise the current orthodox criteria for determining death.The Responsibility Objection to Abortion is a common and prominent objection toabortion in general. The objection claims that a woman is responsible for the fetus growinginside her body as a result of her willing participation in sexual activity. I argue that theResponsibility Objection to Abortion fails to establish that a woman must provide care to herunborn fetus. I do so by examining the various iterations in which the responsibility objectionhas been presented and then identifying the particular conception of responsibility that eachiteration of the objection must be utilizing in order to ground the particular version of theobjection. My contention is that once examined in this manner I am able to demonstrate thateach iteration of the objection is unable to establish an obligation to provide care on the part ofa pregnant woman to her unborn fetus. Thus, the responsibility objection ceases to be a seriousobjection to a woman's reproductive freedom.

Ransom is the true story of one family's six-year journey to find an accurate diagnosis and treatment for their son.Just before his third birthday, Jack Shepherd was taken. It's every parent's worst nightmare--a child snatched from the periphery of your vigilance. When Jack was taken, he never left home. An overnight extreme behavior and personality change left the family confused and scared. A previously well-adjusted, compliant child, Jack began experiencing intense separation anxiety, vocal tics, fears, and shocking aggression. As he grew, Jack functioned typically for weeks or months at a time before his confusing behaviors and personality change resurfaced with no warning. Hope Shepherd knew something was wrong with her son. Some professionals told her it was a phase while others not so subtly blamed her. Her husband, Luke, held on to the belief that Jack would grow out of his behaviors, but ultimately, he, too, realized something wasn't right. Hope researched tirelessly, prayed, and relied heavily on her faith. This story takes readers on a roller-coaster journey with one family trying desperately to save their son from an unseen captor. Ultimately, Ransom is a story of heartbreak, hope, faith, trusting one's instincts, and ultimately, healing.

This book presents the results of an ethno-psychological study of Mexican siblings which aims to contribute to the study of the relationships between brothers and sisters from the perspective of social psychology. Building upon the Mexican school of ethnopsychology, the study presented in this volume shows how psychosocial processes shape the relationships between siblings and how these relationships affect the development of boys and girls in emerging adulthood (between 18 and 25 years). The relationship between siblings is the first laboratory through which anyone who has a brother or sister learns to establish social relationships. Taking this into account, the study presented in this book analyzed 1240 emerging Mexican adults to identify the most important psychosocial variables that contribute to the establishment and development of sibling relationships. The results of the study show the central role played by attachment styles in the establishment of this relationship and how both positive aspects ¿ such as closeness, similarity-complementarity and complicity ¿ and negative aspects ¿ such as favoritism, jealousy, conflict and aggression ¿ of the relationships between siblings are essential parts of the developmental processes though which boys and girls learn how to establish social relationships.Brothers and Sister in Emerging Adulthood: An Ethno-Psychological Study of Mexican Siblings will be of interest to social, developmental and family psychologists interested in understanding the psychosocial mechanisms behind the most durable relationship in the life of anyone who has a brother or sister.

Drawing on a decade of psychological research, Coming of Age gets beneath the recent myths and age-old stereotypes of adolescence to reveal the real reasons why teens behave as they do.'Fascinating, moving . . . clear-eyed, unerringly sensible . . . there is insight and kindness throughout this book' Daily MailWhy do teens take risks? What is it that makes them anxious? How do they think about sex, love, bullying and friendship?

Above all, she shows that adolescents have an extraordinary capacity for resilience, empathy and mutual support, and that even the most challenging experiences are part of an essential process of self-discovery.'Excellent and insightful . . . expertly presented . . .

This book addresses the need to view specific learning disorders (SLDs) within a mental health framework, as supported by their placement alongside autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). It describes how policy and practice point to a different perspective ¿ specifically that SLDs are often treated as educational rather than psychological problems ¿ and examines the implications of this dichotomy. The book reviews empirical research that suggests children need access to treatment for clinical components of SLDs that may respond to psychological intervention separately from, and in addition to, educational interventions. It provides a theoretical framework for organizing research findings and clinical perspectives that support understanding the clinical components of SLDs and addresses the need for a mental health framework within which to approach theory, treatment, and assessment of SLDs.Key areas of coverage include:Examining different theoretical orientations to learning disorders (e.g., cognitive, behavioral, neuropsychoeducational, psychoanalytic).Adapting evidence-based therapeutic techniques for use with children and adolescents who have learning disorders.The need for accurate and well characterized assessment of SLDs.How incorporating a cognitive neuroscience perspective into assessment can move LD treatment and research forward.Learning Disorders Across the Lifespan is an essential reference for clinicians, therapists, and other professionals as well as researchers, professors, and graduate students in school and clinical child psychology, special education, speech-language therapy, developmental psychology, pediatrics, social work as well as all interrelated disciplines.
