The Man with the Beautiful Voice
Author: Lillian Rubin
Publisher: Beacon Press
ISBN: 0807096121
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
Beautifully crafted stories of psychotherapy-told for the first time from the perspective of the therapist In her long career as a psychotherapist, acclaimed author Lillian Rubin occasionally encountered patients who demanded a very special, even unorthodox, therapeutic approach. For the first time, Dr. Rubin tells the stories of her most fascinating, most challenging case,'from the other side of the couch,' focusing not just on the patient, but on her own inner process as she confronts the issues each case raises. Each of the seven stories she tells is a moving journey into the human psyche, from the secret life of'The Woman Who Wasn't' or the extreme regression of'The White Hat' to the smoldering rage of'The Man with the Beautiful Voice.' Through these captivating tales, and in a thought-provoking introduction, Dr. Rubin illuminates the process of therapy and how it works, especially when rules need to be bent or even broken. For anyone who has been in therapy, or even wondered what happens behind those tightly sealed doors, this book offers a gift of insight.

A Pair of Miracles
Author: Karla Akins
Publisher: Kregel Publications
ISBN: 0825444845
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
"A parent's gripping journey of awareness, acceptance, and appreciation of her two boys dealing with significant challenges brought on by autism." --Stephen Mark Shore, EdD When Karla Akins hoped that her autistic sons could learn to read and function independently, doctors warned her that those expectations would never be met. She set out to prove that, despite those warnings, all things are possible through God. Laced with humor and compassion, A Pair of Miracles is the heartwarming story of her journey rearing adopted twin sons, each diagnosed with autism and fetal alcohol disorder. This is more than a moving biography from a mom on the front lines, however. It is a powerful tool, full of practical help for parents, educators, and church members working with children who have intellectual disabilities, speech impairments, and other limitations on the autism spectrum. It is also a challenge to the church to welcome and celebrate all the members of their congregation, no matter their abilities. Thanks to Karla's determination, faith, and unconditional love--and contrary to the doctors' predictions--her adult twins are now able to function independently in many ways. They help their dad install pools, do carpentry work, and serve in the church as ushers, sound engineers, and children's ministry workers. For parents seeking hope, answers, and peace, Karla leads the way to all three down a path she's already been.

Singing and Teaching Singing
Author: Janice L.Chapman
Publisher: Plural Publishing
ISBN: 1944883479
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
Singing and Teaching Singing: A Holistic Approach to Classical Voice, Third Editioncontinues to be a beloved resource for singers and their teachers, speech-language pathologists, and laryngologists and an adopted text for instructors and students in voice, singing, and performing arts courses. Janice L. Chapman is able to draw on her experiences as a singer with some of the world's leading opera companies to present a teaching technique specifically focusing on voice in the areas of classical and opera singing. Interspersed with the concepts and components of Chapman's methods are vignettes from her life and career, animated by her conversational and vibrant style to guide (and entertain) the reader through the book in a step-by-step fashion. The philosophy of teaching presented combines three main facets: Holistic, Physiological, and Incremental. The Holistic segment emphasizes that the act of singing involves the whole person (i.e., body, mind, spirit, emotion, and voice); the Physiological segment stresses anatomy, muscular function, and effects of muscular interactions so that students and teachers alike can understand and visualize the functional workings of the torso, larynx, and the vocal tract and their impact on good singing practices; and the Incremental section shows that the act of singing can be broken down into manageable components that have a natural hierarchy that eventually interact and interlock. This teaching model provides a framework to master one element at a time, with the resulting effect of a complete and integrated mastery of technique. Chapman recommends this framework for rehabilitative work with the dysfunctional singer, for working with the developing singer, and for the ongoing development and maintenance of the technically able professional singer. Case studies, examples, exercises, and contributions from some of the world's best-known voice professionals further highlight the text. New to this edition: The addition of a completely new chapter: an interview with voice specialist osteopath Jacob Lieberman on the subject of manual therapy and voiceA rewriting of Marilyn McCarthy's chapters on teaching and learning in light of advances in the fields of neuroscience and educationUpdates to Pamela Davis's chapter on voice and the brain, as well as John Rubin's chapter on vocal and respiratory anatomy and physiologyClarifications by Ron Morris on the use of the accent method of breathing as a highly effective remedial and training techniqueRefinements to chapters on breathing and support, phonation, and resonance*Disclaimer: Please note that ancillary content (such as documents, audio, and video, etc.) may not be included as published in the original print version of this book.

Pages : 404
Book Description
During a December boat show in St. Petersburg, Florida, Jake Travis is asked by Colonel Janssen to rendezvous at night on the Gulf of Mexico and bring ashore Alejandro Vizcarro. Vizcarro is an accountant who has incriminating evidence that can be used to imprison a notorious drug lord, Sergio Flores. Vizcarro's wife, Martina, is to accompany him.The couple unexpectedly brings their three children. Jake has no choice but to accept the family of five. Within days, an assassin's bullet finds Alejandro and Martina. The children are missing.Informed that he failed and is off the case, Jake frantically searches for the children-and self-respect. Vizcarro allegedly worked with a local wine importer, Richard Bannon, who laundered money for Flores. Attending a museum fund-raiser with Kathleen and Morgan, Jake pressures Bannon and his assistant, Tina Welch. He also repeatedly questions Stephen Cole, the man who lives across from the cottage from where he stowed the family. Jake senses Cole is holding back.Kathleen is not her usual confident self. When pressed, she tells Jake to "Never mind." But Jake knows those two words are the "cellar doors" of the English language. "One never knows what lies behind them." Jake tables her perplexing demeanor. He's got enough on his plate. The final page of the book reveals what lies behind, "Never mind." Jakes discovers that he'd been lied to about Alejandro. He jumps on the warpath, demands the truth from Janssen, and strikes out on his own. He and Garrett run a scam on Bannon, while continually unpeeling the mysterious layers of Stephen Cole But is all comes back to Stephen Cole-the neighbor across the street from where Jake originally placed the family. His life was befallen by a great personal tragedy and he is not the "ghostless soul" Jake at first thought him to be. Jake's successful effort to find the children serves as a dual resurrection for both he and Cole.
