The Difficult Child

Expanded and Revised Edition

By: Stanley Turecki,Leslie Tonner

How to help--and cope with--the difficult child Expanded and completely revised, the classic and definitive work on parenting hard-to-raise children with new sections on ADHD and the latest medications for childhood disorders. Temperamentally difficult children can confuse and upset even experienced parents and teachers. They often act defiant, stubborn, loud, aggressive, or hyperactive. They can also be clingy, shy, whiny, picky, and impossible at bedtime, mealtimes, and in public places. This landmark book has been completely revised to include the latest information on ADHD, medications, and a reassuring approach to all aspects of childhood behavioral disorders. In this parenting classic, Dr. Stanley Turecki, one of the nation's most respected experts on children and discipline--and himself the father of a once difficult child--offers compassionate and practical advice to parents of hard-to-raise children. Based on his experience with thousands of families in the highly successful Difficult Children Program he developed for Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City, his step-by-step approach shows you how to: Identify your child's temperament using a ten-point test to pinpoint specific difficulties Manage common--often "uncontrollable"--conflict situations expertly and gently Make discipline more effective and get better results with less punishment Get support from schools, doctors, professionals, and support groups Understand ADHD and other common diagnoses, and decide if medication is right for your child Make the most of the tremendous potential and creativity that many "difficult" children have Drawing on his experience with thousands of families in his highly successful Difficult Child Program, Dr. Turecki shows parents how to: Identify their child's difficult temperament using a ten-point test to pinpoint specific difficulties Manage typical conflict situations expertly and kindly Make discipline more effective and get better results with less punishment Get support from schools, doctors, and others Understand ADHD and other common diagnoses, and decide whether medication is right for their child Make the most of the child's creativity and potential -->

The Self in Relationships

Social-Personality Theory, Research, and New Directions

By: Stanley Gaines

Synopsis: In this chapter, we delve into Kurt Lewin's field theory as an overarching framework for conceptualizing the self and the psychological environment (including significant others) as interrelated aspects of individuals' life space; we consider individuals' potential exercise of self-control via conflict-reducing behaviors within close relationships; we comment upon Thibaut and Kelley's interdependence theory as a major Lewin-inspired theory within relationship science (notwithstanding its frequent use of personality-friendly terminology that actually refers to social-psychological, rather than individual-difference, phenomena); we provide an overview of the present book (including a list of the major sections); and we offer a prelude to Chapter 2, which covers Sullivan's interpersonal theory of personality as an additional Lewin-inspired theory, albeit distinctive in its focus on self-esteem as an outcome of individuals' experience of (low) interpersonal anxiety over the long term"--

Common names from 370 languages are presented along with information on each of the languages. The text represents an essential reference source with the information presented in a concise and readily accessible format.

Multicultural Commonwealth

Poland-Lithuania and Its Afterlives

By: Stanley Bill,Simon Lewis

The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1569–1795) was once the largest country in Europe—a multicultural republic that was home to Belarusians, Germans, Jews, Lithuanians, Poles, Ruthenians, Tatars, Ukrainians, and other ethnic and religious groups. Although long since dissolved, the Commonwealth remains a rich resource for mythmakingin its descendent modern-day states, but also a source of contention between those with different understandings of its history.Multicultural Commonwealth brings together the expertise of world-renowned scholars in a range of disciplines to present perspectives on both the Commonwealth’s historical diversity and the memory of this diversity. With cutting-edge research on the intermeshed histories and memories of different ethnic and religious groups of the Commonwealth, this volume asks how various contemporary conceptions of multiculturalism can be applied to the region through a critical lens that also seeks to understand the past on its own terms.
