What Can One Do When Life Is Turned Upside Down? Eric Franklin Simmons couldn't believe how his life had changed after receiving a visit from his first wife Delores Sherman-Simmons. Delores disappeared from Eric's life without warning demanding he sign divorce papers and not to contact her. Twenty-three years later Delores reappears and changes Eric's life forever. Eric was devastated when he found out the secret Delores brought back with her and it took all of his inner-strength not to strangle the living daylights out of her. To add fuel to the fire his normally loving and supportive family seemed to turn into people he didn't recognize. Their words and actions only brought more tension to an already explosive situation. It would take the wisdom and courage of the youngest female adult member of the Simmons family: Erica Nicole Blackstone-Clark to bring the family back together and show there can be love and a happy ending after deception, broken promises, and shattered dreams.

The Therapist in Mourning
Author: Anne Adelman
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231156995
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
The unexpected loss of a client can be a lonely and isolating experience for therapists. While family and friends can ritually mourn the deceased, the nature of the therapeutic relationship prohibits therapists from engaging in such activities. Practitioners can only share memories of a client in circumscribed ways, while respecting the patient's confidentiality. Therefore, they may find it difficult to discuss the things that made the therapeutic relationship meaningful. Similarly, when a therapist loses someone in their private lives, they are expected to isolate themselves from grief, since allowing one's personal life to enter the working relationship can interfere with a client's self-discovery and healing. For therapists caught between their grief and the empathy they provide for their clients, this collection explores the complexity of bereavement within the practice setting. It also examines the professional and personal ramifications of death and loss for the practicing clinician. Featuring original essays from longstanding practitioners, the collection demonstrates the universal experience of bereavement while outlining a theoretical framework for the position of the bereft therapist. Essays cover the unexpected death of clients and patient suicide, personal loss in a therapist's life, the grief of clients who lose a therapist, disastrous loss within a community, and the grief resulting from professional losses and disruptions. The first of its kind, this volume gives voice to long-suppressed thoughts and emotions, enabling psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, and other mental health specialists to achieve the connection and healing they bring to their own work.

Pages : 259
Book Description
Anya, a young woman with a hunger that gnawed at her soul, entered the corporate world with a single-minded focus on success. She saw the glittering towers of ambition and envisioned herself perched atop, her name etched in the annals of the company's history. Yet, as she climbed the corporate ladder, she discovered that the path to the top was paved with a treacherous blend of deceit, betrayal, and manipulation. The air was thick with the scent of ambition, a fragrance that both intoxicated and suffocated. The higher she rose, the more she realized that the price of success was not just her own happiness, but the very fabric of her soul. This is Anya's story—a testament to the human capacity for both good and evil, a chilling exploration of the corrupting influence of power, and a stark reminder that sometimes the most dangerous battles are fought within ourselves.

Book Description
In life one must come to a realization that nothing is ever promised. Sometimes we place expectations on family, friends, and close associates; however, when that expectation is no longer met we immediately loose our cool. We do not expect our uncle from next door to rape us, we never expect friends to discredit our name, nor do we expect family members to discourage us and tell us that we will never amount to anything.Unfortunate as it may sound these occurrences continue to happen. When situations as these arise we begin to think that these circumstances are ones we have to face alone. Many times we then fall into a state of depression unaware of how much power we allowed someone to have over our life. The next question at issue is how do one then proceed past their current state of mind? Within this poetic book of substance you will find issues circulating from poverty, to molestation, to faith. These reflections will take you on a journey where you are able to understand that you are not alone and there is a light at the end of every tunnel.

Violence against Girls and Women

Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1440803366
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 577
Book Description
Sexual assault, sex trafficking, and child abuse affect millions of women and girls globally each year. This two-volume set covers a broad scope of topics, from violence against girls before birth, in childhood, and throughout women's adult lives. Millions of women around the world—some data suggests as many as three in every four women—face violence against them throughout their lifetimes. The incidences range from the earliest stages of life with infanticide, to child trafficking, sexual assault, and domestic violence, to the end of life by elder abuse. This two-volume set provides a comprehensively broad treatment of the global problem of violence against women, addressing less commonly discussed subjects such as domestic violence in lesbian couples, abuse within the context of war crimes, and the incidence of violence and abuse against women internationally as compared to within the United States.
