Just Good Friends
Author: Elizabeth Stuart
Publisher: Bloomsbury Academic
ISBN:
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
A great deal has been written about homosexuality and Christianity. Although generally there is a conscious move towards understanding and incorporating the experiences of gay men and women, the Church's response has been to treat homosexuality as a problem within sexual ethics. However, a growing number of gay and lesbian Christians, influenced by liberation movements within and outside the Church, are claiming a place in the Church and finding a voice in theological and ecclesiastical discourse. Elizabeth Stuart suggests that gay people may have some important insights to contribute to theological reflection about sexuality, marriage and celibacy - most notably in the understanding of friendship to include our most intimate and committed relationships. This is not a book about whether Christians should accept or affirm gay people and their relationships. That debate goes on. Dr Stuart's concern here is to ask: supposing lesbian and gay people were equal in the sight of God, what then might heterosexual people learn from them? What new and creative ways of relating might emerge to the benefit of the whole community?

Pages : 450
Book Description
One of the world’s leading experts on infidelity provides a step-by-step guide through the process of infidelity—from suspicion and revelation to healing, and provides profound, practical guidance to prevent infidelity and, if it happens, recover and heal from it. You’re right to be cautious when you hear these words: “I’m telling you, we’re just friends.” Good people in good marriages are having affairs. The workplace and the Internet have become fertile breeding grounds for “friendships” that can slowly and insidiously turn into love affairs. Yet you can protect your relationship from emotional or sexual betrayal by recognizing the red flags that mark the stages of slipping into an improper, dangerous intimacy that can threaten your marriage.

Psychotherapy Research

Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 640
Book Description
This book provides readers with essential information on the foundations of psychotherapy research, and on its applications to the study of both psychotherapy process and outcome. The aim is to stimulate a reflection on these issues in a way that will benefit researchers and clinicians, as well as undergraduate and graduate students, at different levels and from different perspectives. Accordingly, the book presents a balanced mix of chapters summarizing the state of the art in the field from different viewpoints and covering innovative topics and perspectives, reflecting some of the most established traditions and, at the same time, emerging approaches in the field in several countries. The contributors, who were invited from among the experts in our national and international professional networks, also represent a healthy mix of leading figures and young researchers. The first part of the book addresses a number of fundamental issues in psychotherapy research at a historical, philosophical, and theoretical level. The second part of the book is concerned with research on psychotherapy processes; in this regard, both quantitative and qualitative approaches are given equal consideration in order to reflect the growing relevance of the latter. The book’s third and last part examines research on psychotherapy outcomes, primarily focusing on quantitative approaches. Offering a balanced mix of perspectives, approaches and topics, the book represents a valuable tool for anyone interested in psychotherapy research.

Book Description
We should never take for granted the life we have been blessed with 'cause it can change in the twinkle of an eye. Mary had no idea just how much her life would be changed and all the twist and turns it was about to take.One day, one hour of that day, would change Mary forever, and she was about to step on a roller coaster that was going to take her on a ride that would either make her or break her. Things were crumbling around her. What could she do to get her family back, to get the love back she so much needed and wanted?Never considering herself as a strong person and never a leader, Mary found herself in a place where to get the life back that she once had and wanted again, she would be forced to grow up and be a woman.Determination, strength, self-confidence, and most importantly, her faith in God had to become the guiding forces in her life.Twist and turns, ups and downs, round and round she would go. Where was she going to end up? What would be the final results of all this mess?A shoulder to lean on, to cry on, was what Tonya was for her. She was Mary's best friend, her only friend for a long time. They were as different as day and night, but in so many ways the same. An accidental meeting turns into a lifetime of friendship.Mary never really had any great expectations for her life, never really saw herself as being anyone of importance. But life often throws a curveball that gives us no option but to grow up. She would become a woman that takes control and trusts God to make a way.

Best shows us that, while the prom is often trivialized, most kids take the prom seriously. The prom is a space where kids work through their understanding of authority, social class, gender norms, and multicultural schooling. Proms are more than just pictures and puffed sleeves--they are a mythic part of youth culture and, for better or worse, will always be a night to remember.
