The Meeting Point
Author: Austin Clarke
Publisher: Vintage Canada
ISBN: 0307364240
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
This is the first book in Austin Clarke’s acclaimed trilogy about a group of West Indian domestics, their friends, lovers, spouses and employers living in Toronto. In rich, exuberant language, the novel illuminates the world of Bernice Leach, a Barbadian woman, working in the infamous ‘Canadian Domestic Scheme’ as a live-in maid. Oddly situated in the employ of the Burrmanns, a wealthy Jewish-Canadian couple, Bernice becomes privy to some household secrets which serve both she and her friend Dots with cause for amusement and outrage. And when Bernice’s sister Estelle comes over, apparently on holiday from Barbados, her stay has first comic, then tragic results. The Meeting Point is a poignant study of the clashes, tensions and sheer comedy resulting from the confrontation of opposing lifestyles and cultures. Set in the 1950s, the novel brilliantly captures a portrait of a vital city as a it faces, for the first time, a significant black immigrant presence upon its landscape. “Masterful.” —The New York Times “A beautiful, comic, innovative, spellbinding and tragic novel. . . . A treat from beginning to end.” —The Boston Globe “Zings with life [and] a humorous appreciation of the injustices of today’s world.” —St. Catherine’s Standard

Pages : 316
Book Description
A kingdom in need of a princess, a planet in need of protection, and a girl caught between. 3 books. Over 500 pages of battling monsters, forbidden romance, and magical girls kicking ass. The last thing Claire wanted was to leave. The only thing Hate wanted was for her to stay... Waking up to find that her girlfriend had left to claim her royal birthright on another planet sucked, though Hate wasn't sure if it sucked more or less than the fact that she was now down a leg and a pair of kidneys, her body having to make-do with cybernetic replacements as she tries to piece her life back together in Claire's absence. As far as Claire was concerned, leaving was about the hardest thing she had ever had to do. Or at least, it was until she finds herself thrown into the shark-infested waters of Rena politics. Claire left Earth only to find that keeping herself and her sister safe would be harder than she thought. But at least everyone back home is safe now that she's gone... Right? This collection includes the second trilogy of books in the Aspects YA sci-fi series. If you're a fan of anime like Sailor Moon and RWBY, and love kick-ass heroines with equal parts heart and attitude, you'll love this fast-paced sci-fi adventure.

Winnicott and 'Good Enough' Couple Therapy
Author: Claire Rabin
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317815270
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
Claire Rabin innovatively applies the Winnicottian theory of the ‘good enough mother’ to couple therapy, redirecting attention to the therapeutic relationship and the therapist’s self-awareness regardless of the methods used. Using this lens, even the therapist’s mistakes become an opportunity for repairing both the therapeutic relationship and the partners’ own personal maturity. The intensity and pressure of couple therapy can make each case a test of the therapist’s competence. The need for neutrality constitutes on-going pressure on the therapist and the proliferation of therapeutic methods can cause confusion about which might be most useful in each situation. Applying theory effectively is easier said than done within the context of the powerful emotions unleashed in sessions, which can result in a catastrophic atmosphere. These factors can make it hard for therapists to utilise their own skills and knowledge within sessions of couple therapy. The book explores how therapists and couples can unintentionally further ‘false selves’ without realising how the very tools of change may counter authenticity. Featuring interviews with an international range of couple therapists and case studies from the author’s own experiences, the key aspects of the ‘good enough’ concept are elaborated. Rabin shows how these ideas can strengthen therapists’ sense of security and safety in using their lived experience and intuition. Winnicott and Good Enough Couple Therapy is the ideal book for clinicians seeking an overarching framework for working with couples or families, as well as those concerned with the importance of the client-helper relationship.
