Self. Between stories, inspiring reflections and revelations, we are immersed in a sea of possibilities for our evolution and freedom as people, as Souls. This interesting and unique compilation of ideas, narratives and affirmations takes us down shadowy paths, where we are encouraged to confront the learned and the intuitive, to visit ourselves without being sly. Luis Felipe, anxious to "see" new seeds germinate on the fertile surface of the conscience of all those who are not afraid to evolve, offers us several paths. His firm, palpable push invites us to explore with curiosity an infinite and permanent reality. A provocative invitation to enjoy his astonishing worldview and life perspective." -- Translation provided by NLS"Conceived in the era of eugenics as a solution to what was termed the "problem of the feeble-minded," state-operated institutions…
subjected people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to a life of compulsory incarceration. One of nearly 300 such facilities in the United States, Pennhurst State School and Hospital was initially hailed as a "model institution" but was later revealed to be a nightmare, where medical experimentation and physical and psychological abuse were rampant. At its peak, more than 3,500 residents were confined at Pennhurst, supervised by a staff of fewer than 600. Using a blended narrative of essays and first-person accounts, this history of Pennhurst examines the institution from its founding during an age of Progressive reform to its present-day exploitation as a controversial Halloween attraction. In doing so, it traces a decades-long battle to reform the abhorrent school and hospital and reveals its role as a catalyst for the disability rights movement. Beginning in the 1950s, parent-advocates, social workers, and attorneys joined forces to challenge the dehumanizing conditions at Pennhurst. Their groundbreaking advocacy, accelerated in 1968 by the explosive televised exposé Suffer the Little Children, laid the foundation for lawsuits that transformed American jurisprudence and ended mass institutionalization in the United States. As a result, Pennhurst became a symbolic force in the disability civil rights movement in America and around the world. Extensively researched and featuring the stories of survivors, parents, and advocates, this compelling history will appeal both to those with connections to Pennhurst and to anyone interested in the history of institutionalization and the disability rights movement." -- Provided by publisherLes meilleurs articles de Bill: extraits du Grapevine

Plusieurs personnes pensent que les actes de violence ne sont commis que par des gens dépravés : malfaiteurs, voyous et…
assassins en tous genres. Mais qui pourrait croire que dans notre monde " civilisé ", le lieu le plus violent est sans aucun doute la famille. Ce livre veut nous alerter quant à la nécessité de reconnaître les effets à long terme de la violence familiale. Celle-ci menace notre société tout entière et risque de lui causer des tords irréparables. La violence familiale touche chacun d'entre nous puisque la responsabilité d'élever un enfant appartient à toute la collectivité. Il nous faut collaborer et unir nos efforts pour trouver une solution. Il faut mettre en place des mécanismes de prévention, encourager la coopération et l'initiation aux soins des enfants. Il faudra du temps et de la patience, mais nous avons en main toutes les connaissances nécessaires pour créer une société plus humaine et plus respectueuse de ses enfants. Dans sa préface, l'auteur John Bradshaw affirme qu'il s'agit d'un des livres les plus importants publiés ces dernières années en matière de psychologie familiale.How to adhd: An insider's guide to working with your brain (not against it)

insights and practical strategies that have helped her survive, even thrive, in a world not built for her brain. “The world of ADHD has been waiting for this book with bated breath for many years. If there’s a fairy godmother of our lot, it’s Jessica McCabe.”—Edward Hallowell, MD, coauthor of Driven to Distraction and ADHD 2.0 Forget “try harder.” When your brain works differently, you need to try different . Diagnosed with ADHD at age twelve, Jessica struggled with a brain that she didn’t understand. She lost things constantly, couldn’t finish projects, and felt like she was putting more effort in than everyone around her while falling further and further behind. At thirty-two years old—broke, divorced, and living with her mom—Jessica decided to look more deeply into her ADHD challenges. She reached out to experts, devoured articles, and shared her discoveries on YouTube. In How to ADHD , Jessica reveals the tools that have changed her life while offering an unflinching look at the realities of living with ADHD. The key to navigating a world not built for the neurodivergent brain, she discovered, isn’t to fix or fight against its natural tendencies but to understand and work with them. She explains how ADHD affects everyday life, covering executive function impairments, rejection sensitivity, difficulties with attention regulation, and more. You’ll also find ADHD-specific strategies for adapting your environment, routines, and systems, including: • Boost the signal and decrease the noise . Facilitate focus by putting your goals where you can see them and fighting distractions with distractions. • Have less stuff to manage. Learn why you have trouble planning and prioritizing, and why doing more starts with doing less. • Build your “time wisdom.” Work backward when you plan, and track how long it actually takes you to do something. • Learn about your emotions. Understand how naming your emotions and letting yourself experience them can make them easier to regulate. With quotes from Jessica’s online community, chapter summaries, and reading shortcuts designed for the neurodivergent reader, How to ADHD will help you recognize your strengths and challenges, tackle “bad brain days,” and be kinder to yourself in the processJ'ai soif: document (Grand tirage)
