Conrad is crushed to death on his wedding day by a gigantic helmet that falls on him from above. Manfred, lord of the castle, terrified that his son's death signals the beginning of the end for his line, resolves to avert destruction by re-marrying himself while divorcing his current wife Hippolita, who he feels has failed to bear him a proper heir.

For 7 to 9-year-old boys and girls. False pride makes a child feel so important that they would rather do something wrong than admit they have made a mistake. Could pride be playing a part in your child’s negative behaviour? Billy Field says something nasty to his best friend Ant Turner, and they row. Ant goes off and makes a new friend, leaving Billy feeling angry and abandoned. Billy’s pride will not let him apologise to Ant until things get out of hand. Is Billy the sort of person to have as a friend? Will it be possible for Billy and Ant to be mates again? Can they overcome their differences? Billy And Ant Fall Out is the second title in the Billy Growing Up series. Each book addresses a unique topic—bullying, arrogant pride, jealousy, lying, stealing, lack of self-belief, understanding money, and secrets. Written to help parents, guardians and teachers deal with the issues that challenge pre-teen children; each topic is presented in a gentle way through storytelling. Setting the issues in a meaningful context helps children to understand the challenges, and to see things from a different perspective. The books act as icebreakers allowing for discussions of difficult subjects. Additionally, each title is supported by a free activity book to reinforce the learning, while having fun. Buying this book today will support your child in dealing with arrogant pride—a negative and unhelpful emotion.

The youngish-looking man who so vigorously swung off the train at Restview, wore a pair of intensely dark blue eyes which immediately photographed everything within their range of vision—flat green country, shaded farm-houses, encircling wooded hills and all—weighed it and sorted it and filed it away for future reference; and his clothes clung on him with almost that enviable fit found only in advertisements. Immediately he threw his luggage into the tonneau of the dingy automobile drawn up at the side of the lonely platform, and promptly climbed in after it. Spurred into purely mechanical action by this silent decisiveness, the driver, a grizzled graduate from a hay wagon, and a born grump, as promptly and as silently started his machine. The crisp and perfect start, however, was given check by a peremptory voice from the platform.

Princess Irene and her father go to Gwyntystorm, while Curdie stays at home with his mother and father. As the years go by, Curdie begins to hunt for pleasure. He also slowly begins to doubt Irene's story of her great-great grandmother. One day, he shoots down a white pigeon. Curdie then remembers Irene's tale of her grandmother's pigeons, assumes the one he has shot down was one of them, and becomes aware of his folly. A light appears at the roof of the castle, and Curdie follows it. There, Curdie meets the old Princess, who appears small and withered, contrary to Irene's descriptions.

Unul din patru rom?ni sufer? la un moment dat de anxietate, aceasta fiind, de altfel, cea mai frecvent? dintre tulbur?rile psihice din ?ara noastr?. Pentru cei care se confrunt? cu stresul crescut, cu ?ngrijoarea, frica sau panica, autorul ofer? o serie de sugestii pentru de a ?ine sub control anxietatea, chiar ?i f?r? ajutorul medica?iei sau psihoterapiei. Dup? ce discut? despre tiparele mentale care exacerbeaz? temerile (g?ndirea ?n "alb-sau-negru", "catastrofizarea" etc.) ?i despre simptomele somatice ale panicii, autorul propune un larg evantai de tehnici pentru gestionarea anxiet??ii: de la contestarea g?ndurile ira?ionale la medita?ia de tip "minfulness", de la modificarea rutinelor cotidiene de somn ?i alimenta?ie, la exerci?iile fizice ?i de relaxare (imagerie), de la reorganizarea mediului la expunerea treptat? la evenimentele ?nfrico??toare. Cartea se adreseaz? publicului larg, dar e un instrument util ?i pentru psihiatri, psihologi clinicieni ?i psihoterapeu?i.

Iubim, ur?m, invidiem, ne dorim ?i sper?m... ne construim scenarii ?n care credem ?i pe care le perpetu?m, ?n care ?i angren?m pe ceilal?i, atribuindu-le roluri mai mult sau mai pu?in importante. Ne l?s?m, la r?ndul nostru, sedu?i ?n pove?tile altora. S? fie acestea "deliruri", ?es?turi psihice, care printr-o analiz? minu?ioas? se pot destr?ma? Atunci, ce se afl? la baza lor ?i cum ni le putem asuma, pentru a ?ntrez?ri ?i, ?n cele din urm?, a locui realitatea obiectiv??Purt?nd cititorul prin lumea interioar? a personajelor unor autori precum Shakespeare, Samuel Butler sau Dickens, c?t ?i prin aceea a propriilor pacien?i, Shengold ilustreaz? felul ?n care aceste deliruri iau na?tere ?n copil?ria timpurie, se men?in s?r?cindu-ne ?i rigidiz?ndu-ne via?a ?i pot fi estompate printr-o maturizare real?, adesea rod al travaliului psihanalitic.

Copiii, aceste ?nc?nt?toare fiin?e, fragile ?i uneori problematice, surs? de bucurie dar ?i de nesomn, ?ngrijor?ri, epuizare... S?-i disciplinezi, dar cum? S-au dus vremurile ?n care p?rintele atotputernic tuna ?i fulgera ?mp?r?ind pedepse, iar libertatea total? oferit? copiilor s-a dovedit, de asemenea, periculoas?. Exist?, ?ns?, o cale de mijloc, iar aceasta este metoda Brazelton.Scris? cu empatie ?i c?ldur? C?l?toria copilului t?u spre autodisciplin? ofer? repere specifice fiec?rui ?punct de cotitur?" din via?a celui mic precum ?i instrumentele necesare gestion?rii unor situa?ii nedorite precum agresivitatea, minciuna, limbajul licen?ios, crizele de furie, fuga de acas?, rivalitatea ?ntre fra?i, lupta pentru putere etc. Este un ghid necesar pentru p?rintele implicat, care dore?te nu doar s? rezolve problema de moment, ci ?i s?-?i doteze copilul cu resursele necesare unei vie?i ?mplinite.

Alina se afl? ?n al treilea an al terapiei personale. Ea ??i autoexamineaz? istoria rela?iilor de iubire: iubirile ei de copil, de adolescent?, iubirile de t?n?r? adult?. Este o istorie pe care o are ?nscris? ?n psihic ?i ?n corp. Analizanda se uit? la aceast? istorie ?i ?ncearc? s? o accepte a?a cum este ea; ?i, pentru c? se dovede?te greu de acceptat, de ?ndurat cu traumele ?i ne?mplinirile ei, aceast? istorie se cere rescris?. Din subiectul pasiv al propriilor scenarii de via??, al influen?elor puternice venite dinspre proprii p?rin?i, ea ?ncearc? ?i reu?e?te, ?n mare m?sur?, s? ??i rescrie istoria emo?ional?, s? ?i caute ?i s? ?i g?seasc? un sens personal, autentic. Din obiect al propriului trecut ?i al priva?iunilor impuse de el, Alina devine, ?ncet-?ncet, subiectul acestora.Procesul terapeutic prin care trece Alina, protagonista c?r?ii, ?n ?nt?lnirea cu psihoterapeutul — Pavel — este un proces fictiv, ?ns? povestea lui nu este mai pu?in realist?. A?a cum, ?n teatru, via?a este prezentat? p?n? la cap?t, ?i aici, dar ?ntr-o form? concentrat?, este prezentat? via?a unei rela?ii terapeutice de lung? durat? cu atmosfera, ritmul, nuan?ele ?i tensiunile ei.?

Cum po?i s?-i spui "nu" ?efului t?u c?nd ??i cere imposibilul? ?n ce fel te impui acas?, ?n fa?a partenerului sau a copiilor rebeli? Cum s? ceri aten?ia cuvenit? din partea medicului sau v?nz?torului care te ignor?? Dac? dore?ti ca vocea ta s? fie ascultat?, nu e cazul s? devii agresiv sau amenin??tor, sus?in autorii acestei c?r?i. Din contr?, asertivitatea ?nseamn? s? ar??i c? e?ti ?n stare s?-l ascul?i pe cel?lalt ?i s?-i ?n?elegi punctul de vedere. Dar mai presupune ?i s?-?i cuno?ti punctele forte, s? fii mai realist ?i mai flexibil ?n g?ndire (pentru a negocia solu?ii "reciproc avantajoase"), precum ?i s? ?tii cum s? transmi?i, prin limbajul corporal, fermitate ?i ?ncredere de sine. Pornind de la scenarii concrete, de la serviciu sau din via?a familial? ?i social?, autorii ofer? acele instrumente prin care vei putea s?-?i iei via?a ?n m?ini, p?str?nd totodat? o rela?ie armonioas? cu cei din jur.

Ce este copilul? Copilaria ar trebui considerata a fi un construct social? Care au fost atitudinile adultilor fata de copiii de-a lungul timpului? Pe parcursul cartii descoperim copilul privit a fi un pacatos augustinian, care vrea sa-i domine pe cei din jur, un inocent romantic care inca nu este corupt de civilizatie sau o doar o dovada a fertilitatii cuplului parental, aruncat in bratele doicilor indata ce a venit pe lume. In occident, incepand cu secolul douazeci copiii nu mai erau expusi mortii, abandonului sau batailor in aceeasi masura ca in trecut, iar relatiile dintre parinti si copii s-au indulcit. Scopul cartii de fata este acela de a evidentia problemele speciale din istoria copiilor, pe care o plaseaza in contextul social si ?cultural, fara a pierde din vedere experientele individuale care au ajuns pana la noi prin jurnale, autobiografii si marturii orale. Scrisa intr-un limbaj accesibil, cartea se adreseaza psihologilor, sociologilor, istoricilor si tuturor celor interesati de copii si copilarie. ?

Cartea prezint? destinele a trei personaje Alfredo, Andrea ?i Fabio. ?Am f?cut-o pentru binele t?u!“, ?Am f?cut-o pentru binele lui!“, formule care se reg?sesc ?n titlul c?r?ii, sunt folosite des ?n via?a real?, ?ns? ascund de multe ori atitudini si fapte reprobabile – minciun?, arogan??, egoism sau am?gire. Acestea sunt ?micile crime“ s?v?r?ite ?n numele iubirii, pe care le red? Gianna Schelotto. Alfredo, protagonistul primei pove?ti, afl? c? a fost adoptat c?nd avea trei ani, dup? ce el ?i fratele lui fuseser? abandona?i de mama lor. Andrea, personajul central din cea de-a doua poveste, este pus de tat?l s?u ?n fa?a unei realit??i nepl?cute. ?n ultima poveste, Fabio, un avocat influent, de aproape ?aizeci de ani, se confrunt? cu perspectiva inevitabilei sale dec?deri dup? ce afl? c? ar putea suferi de Alzheimer. Unii gre?esc prin faptul c? dezv?luie, al?ii gre?esc prin faptul c? ascund: s?ar zice c? situa?ia e f?r? ie?ire. Dar nu faptele individuale sunt cele care produc daune ; ceea ce risc? s? creeze fracturi profunde este ideea c?, de fapt, copiii sunt un fel de prelungire a noastr?, o proprietate exclusiv? de care putem dispune oricum. Orice fapt?, declarat? sau ascuns?, prin care ?ncerc?m s? determin?m persoanele s???i schimbe idei, aspira?ii ?i sentimente este o manipulare, chiar dac? se na?te din dorin?a sincer? de a aduce beneficii s?n?t??ii celuilalt sau de a?i sus?ine bun?starea. ?n rela?iile ?s?n?toase“, schimb?rile ?i dezvoltarea au loc nu fiindc? cel puternic a reu?it s??l conving? pe cel slab, ci numai pentru c? ne?am transformat lu?nd de la cel?lalt ?i d?nd de la sine, ?n mod spontan, experien?e, emo?ii, vise.

Cum definim ?i cum trat?m tulburarea de reglare emo?ional? Emo?iile sunt o parte important? a vie?ii noastre, afect?ndu-ne major ac?iunile, de?i nu ?ntotdeauna suntem con?tien?i de prezen?a lor. Abilitatea de a ?n?elege ?i balansa emo?iile se nume?te reglare emo?ional? sau control emo?ional. De ce este important? reglarea emo?ional?? Pentru c? reprezint? un element esen?ial pe care se sprijin? civiliza?ia uman?. Interac?iunile dintre oameni depind de modul ?n care sim?im ?i ne exprim?m emo?iile. Conceptul de ?tulburare de reglare emo?ional?“ intervine atunci c?nd apar probleme ?n privin?a controlului emo?iilor. De cele mai multe ori, o persoan? care are astfel de probleme ??i va descrie st?rile aleg?nd etichete precum depresiv, anxios, nervos, sup?rat, agitat. Mult mai rar va apela la nararea autentic? a tr?irilor personale, declar?nd c? este instabil, impulsiv, emo?ional, necontrolat, incapabil de a se calma, u?or de frustrat etc. Cartea lui Radu Vrasti prezint? ?ntr-o form? succint? problema tulbur?rii de reglare emo?ional?, a?a cum se prezint? din perspectiva medicinei ?i a psihologiei clinice. ?n plus, aduce informa?ii de ultim? or? despre cum trebuie ?n?eleas?, definit?, diagnosticat? ?i ?tratat?“ at?t medicamentos c?t ?i psihoterapeutic.
