Beyond Consequences, Logic, and Control: A Love-Based Approach to Helping Attachment-Challenged Children With ...46 reviews
Heather T. Forbes

Beyond Consequences Institute, LLC, 2006

This book put into words and examples things I had been discovering with my own daughter
I loved this book! It really is amazing to bring everything back to Love versus Fear and being present with your child. It sounds so easy, but most people I observe don't do it regularly and well- even "great parents"! It has been huge learning to just be there for my daughter, to listen and really hear what she is saying instead of knee jerk-reacting! It has already affected my life inside and ...

Not Only Great for the Interviewer but also for the Interviewee

The Marriage Clinic: A Scientifically-Based Marital Therapy (Norton Professional Books)10 reviews
John Mordechai Gottman

W. W. Norton & Company, 1999

Exceptional!
At last there is an answer to the question I've been asking since beginning my studies in psychology--"Isn't there anything ELSE?" There are many schools of thought that reign in fiefdoms of psychology, including systems theory, behaviorism, Imago, and psychodynamic to name a few. Each is dogmatic, and when tested across research studies, all can benefit patients (despite zealous claims to the ...

Valerie L. Gaus

Are you an Aspie?
I find it hard to believe there is only one review for this book! I am an undiagnosed Aspie and I found this book to be beyond belief.

What I am saying is that if you're an Aspie and you want to see how your mind works, in words, right before your eyes then take a look at just ... 		  
  







  
  
Robot Programming : A Practical Guide to Behavior-Based Robotics11 reviews
Joe Jones, Daniel Roth

It is easy to read and full of practical advice that one would only get if they spent the last 20 something years working ...
