Anne Marie Guanci
New Horizon Press, 2007
Such a helpful book!
This book has a great story that both kids and parents will relate to, but it also has some excellent techniques and tips to help elementary-aged children cope with everyday anxieties. As the mom of a daughter who tends to magnify minor problems, I loved the Worry Beast!

McGraw-Hill, 2003
Great Advice for Teen Girls!!
This past summer, I went searching for a book that dealt with teen girl issues. When I read a few reviews on this book, I said, this "has" to be the book. After purchasing the book and reading it, I was happy to say, this was the book I was after. It is clearly written and very understandable. The young ladies in the book club fell in LOVE with this book because they could easily relate to it!! I ...

Help Me Say Goodbye: Activities for Helping Kids Cope When a Special Person Dies16 reviews
Janis Silverman
Fairview Press, 1999
Wonderful
This book is a wonderful way for children to express their thoughts and feelings about dying. This book can be used before the death of a loved one. I bought two of these books for a friend whose husband is dying and they have two young children. They love the books and using art therapy has helped these children to express what they are thinking and feeling.

Yoga and the Quest for the True Self30 reviews
Stephen Cope
Bantam, 2000
Honest, Deep and Practical. A Life Changing Book !
Yoga and the Quest for the True Self is definitely one of the best (if not the best) and most useful books I've ever read. It truly speaks to developing a mature, real life approach to spirituality. Stephen Cope writes from a perspective that I feel really speaks to the Western spiritual seeker. He combines his experience and knowledge as a psychotherapist with his knowledge of Yoga and other ...

Helps with Dating as Well
I have taken so many helpful hints from this book and applied to my new dating relationship. The knowledge about how men handle tasks and how their brain works, helps me to react better...causing less fights! It really works. My boyfriend reaffirms me by saying "I can't believe how smoothly our relationship is going and how sweet and understanding you are." I will keep the book my secret for now ...

Helping Your Anxious Child: A Step-By-Step Guide for Parents10 reviews

New Harbinger Publications, 2000
Excellent Ideas For Desperate Parents
My 8 year old daughter has a lot of issues with anxiety. Fortunately it hasn't gotten to the point where it's extreme but we want to give her tools so that it doesn't get that way. I myself have had issues with anxiety my whole life so I'm sure much of the problems stem from hereditary.
That being said, I as an adult have learned many tools such as Yoga and meditation techniques which have ...

Alan's War: The Memories of G.I. Alan Cope2 reviews
Emmanuel Guibert
First Second, 2008
Stirring Memoirs...
As modern day North americans, we cannot appreciate the experiences soldiers had. Even with our technically superior computer generated, the memories and emotions that real soldiers lived through cannot be equalled.
Alan Cope and Emmanuel Guibert met by happenstance, and the collaboration that resulted is marvelous. Alan Cope tells us through Emmanuels' art his life as a soldier. Drafted at ...

Help is here!
I highly recommend this book for anyone trying to live through infidelity. I have read several books and this one had so much helpful information. It was written in a way that didn't attack the participating party or the injured party but gave good information for all parties involved. Unfortunately my spouse chose not to read the book with me but reading it really helped me to understand and ...

Helping Your Kids Cope with Divorce the Sandcastles Way27 reviews
M. Gary Neuman
Random House, 1999
Simply Awesome
Super Book. When I met my wife, she already had a 3yr old daughter. That was 6 years ago. The book really helped me understand what my new step-daughter was coping with, even at 3/4/5 yrs old, etc. More importantly, I learned how I could be a positive support to her emotional transition and the stress placed on her. Today, I am simply "dad" and she is simply my "daughter" ... I couldn't be ...

Straight Talk about Death for Teenagers: How to Cope with Losing Someone You Love2 reviews
Earl A. Grollman
Beacon Press, 1993
Great book for teens
This is a great book for helping teens cope with the loss of a loved one, whether it was a close friend or family member. The book is written with short, easy to read sentences and paragraphs. The chapters are organized in useful topics like 'suicide', 'loss of a friend', 'long term illness' ... so the reader can locate those areas that pertain to their own situation. Having lost my own mother ...

Narcissistic Lovers: How to Cope, Recover and Move On11 reviews
Cynthia Zayn, Kevin Dibble
New Horizon Press, 2007
First Aid for the Narcissicised
I turned to this book after being worked over once again by a master, and it cut right to the heart of the matter. The authors have done a fine job documenting the behaviors, and it is very helpful, if distressing, to have an "ah ha!" moment on every page! I do wish, however, there was more on healing and learning to avoid these people in the future. Awareness can be momentary -- I've been fooled ...

I'm Grieving as Fast as I Can
I am a young widow and found this book to provide a great deal of comfort, understanding and support at a time when I very much needed it. It helped me to know that my thoughts and feelings were normal and felt by many men and women in my situation. I would recommend to any young widow/widower.

Chris Loftis
New Horizon Press, 1997
excellent teaching tool
I am an elemetary school teacher, and this book has been helpful in classroom discussions on self esteem. I've been suprised how many children relate to the situation described, and think this is an excellent learning tool.
The illustrations are Matisse like- children enjoy the playful colors.
I recommend this work.

Nancy Pando
New Horizon Press, 2005
Wonderful Book for Children Who Miss Their Moms!
I have a 3 year-old daughter who had a hard time adjusting to leaving me and going to pre-school. I have read "The Kissing Hand", a sweet book, but this one is much more specific to the feelings that children can have when they don't want to leave their Moms. My daughter loved the Honey Bee character. The book helps children to help themselves and it tells you exactly how to do it. The ...

William C. Kroen
Free Spirit Publishing, 1996
A Must Read even if you are not facing this challenge
Every parent, educator and concerned adult should read this book even if they are not currently helping a child through the loss of a loved one. Parents often spend a great deal of time reading about child development but they should not deglect another important part of development -- learning and dealing with death. This book was extremely valuable with helping me help my children deal with ...

Getting Started in Private Practice: The Complete Guide to Building Your Mental Health Practice (Getting ...3 reviews
Chris E. Stout, Laurie Cope Grand
Wiley, 2004
An excellent primer that is concise and to the point
Unlike most books on starting a private practice, Getting Started in Private Practice, doesn't waste time with nonsensical fluff on whether one should be in private practice and other "touchy feely" irrelevancies. The authors presume you are reading the book because you have already decided private practice is for you and takes off from there.
The book is concise and straightforward with ...

ancient wisdom still relevant today
As a yoga practioner and having read Pantanjali's yoga sutras. I thoroughly enjoyed the author's blend of sutras and modern psychotherapy through the stories of the struggles of men and women looking for fullfilment. Ceasing the fluxuations of the mind was the early goal of the ancients; we have different words to describe the condition today and the battle is the same. The stories are ...

When there Are No Words: Finding Your Way to Cope with Loss and Grief23 reviews
Charlie Walton
Pathfinder Publishing, 1996
Managable read from the heart
I have been looking for resources to share with those suffering loss. While there many good books on grief what I was looking for was something that wouldn't overwhelm folks going through the process. This little book is a quick read. More importantly, it gives voice to various experiences of the grief process from a person sensitive to the enormity of the pain and loss.

When Someone Very Special Dies: Children Can Learn to Cope with Grief4 reviews
Marge Heegaard
Woodland Press, 1988
One Of the very best books available on such a delicate topic
I researched for many days every book avalable on this subject, as my husband left me a young widow at 26, dying very suddenly and tragically of a brain annuerisym in the middle of the night, beside me in the car - two weeks before Thanksgiving. Although I am cursed that I have not been left with our own child, he did leave behind several nieces and nephews profoundly attached to him; he was the ...
