Book Description
This is a personal accounting of a young girl's childhood as she and her six siblings grew up with parents who used child abuse as a source of entertainment. In her book, Trena Cole describes the methods of intimidation and isolcation used to prevent the childen from seekigng help. It also describes how, since their extended family practiced the same type of abusive behavior, the children assumed the whole world lived this way. While these parents may have been reported as potential child abusers, they were never charged or prosecuted despite the sadistic torture they inflicted on their young children. Trena became the parental role model, nurturer and caretaker for the younger children from a very young age, never having anyone to nurture or care for her, and learned to dissociate to survive the chaos. The language is raw, ugly and harsh, just as it was screamed at the children until they were able to escape the madness. This inspirational book may be emotionally difficult to read but contains vital information for those in the helping professions: therapy, education, medicine or law.
The Ossetes
Author: Richard Foltz
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0755618467
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
The Ossetes, a small nation inhabiting two adjacent states in the central Caucasus, are the last remaining linguistic and cultural descendants of the ancient nomadic Scythians who dominated the Eurasian steppe from the Balkans to Mongolia for well over one thousand years. A nominally Christian nation speaking a language distantly related to Persian, the Ossetes have inherited much of the culture of the medieval Alans who brought equestrian culture to Europe. They have preserved a rich oral literature through the epic of the Narts, a body of heroic legends that shares much in common with the Persian Book of Kings and other works of Indo-European mythology. This is the first book devoted to the little-known history and culture of the Ossetes to appear in any Western language. Charting Ossetian history from Antiquity to today, it will be a vital contribution to the fields of Iranian, Caucasian, Post-Soviet and Indo-European Studies.

The Hermit
Author: Kevin Wells
Publisher: Ignatius Press
ISBN: 1642293113
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
In his raw and tender memoir, biographer Kevin Wells pulls readers into the unforgettable story of a parish priest turned hermit, Father Martin Flum, who orchestrated the slow resurrection of his wife, Krista, from the nightmare of her deep wounds and addiction. In gripping fashion, Kevin tells the story of his family’s own long suffering, which culminated in the dark spring of 2020, as a strange fear pressed down upon the world and his wife spent most nights drinking away long-held shame. When a near-universal chorus of politicians, medical professionals, and Catholic clergy megaphoned the command to “isolate,” Kevin couldn’t imagine a more dooming word for his family, his marriage, and the life of his wife. Yet God had other plans. Wells’ honest tale of inner crisis and hope-filled resurrection takes readers on a spiritual rollercoaster, offering a penetrating exploration of the sacramental grace of marriage and the mysterious movement of God in dry, lonely places. In the journey from darkness to light, three lives—Krista, Kevin, and Father Flum—became forever entwined. It is a deeper kind of love story. The chapters on the fits and starts of renewal unfold like the piecemeal opening of a tomb. The Hermit is a true account of marital survival, a holy priest, redemption, and even the miraculous, where imprisoned shame and sin are transformed into the joy of freedom.

Into and Out of the Spin
Author: Harry M. Anderson
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1039160425
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 375
Book Description
The tall sculpture on the front cover of this book was created from an striking experience the author had in the late 1970s when looking at the news on the TV. In the course of approximately four seconds, a tall young German boy - absent of mind, aimless and sad - wandered across the screen and left the analyst artist in a powerful, shocked, puzzled state. He was in the midst of what became a failed ’69-‘79 training analysis, and during it, he developed an original, real-scientific method that, from ’80 to ’90: dismantled late-child symptoms in self; went to the causal roots of several art forms and ended them; re-stirred the memory of that boy; and led to the carving. He continued in that art form for some years until continued self-analytic studies went to absolute symptom roots and endings. And in September, 2018, the little fellow on the left opened his unconscious experiences to complete physical display in days. Then the analyst’s still-operative Self analytic research dismantled any further dangers that the Symptom Self had had to share (in disconnected, heavily secreted pieces), as it systematically moved to its real, and thoroughly-finished end on Nov. 4, 2019.
