`A vital tool for all those working with children' - ChildRight

'Written in a lucid style and is easy to read… it is essential reading for all students in social work undergraduate courses and also in post-qualifying courses on child welfare and protection. In addition professionals who are directly working in the area of child protection, schools and criminal justice settings would find this book informative and useful in understanding what children and young people want, and need, in relation to living in domestic violence situations' - Child and Family Social Work

'This book is powerfully written and is essential reading for professional working with and supporting abused women and their children. Its groundbreaking focus on children's experiences adds much to our understanding of the complexities of domestic violence' - Journal of Family Studies

'A treasure-chest of rich, diverse and powerful extracts from children and young people… in particular the material presented on different coping strategies used by children who have experienced domestic violence is an important contribution to an area about which very little is known' - Adoption and Fostering Journal

How do children who live with domestic violence cope? How do they make sense of their experiences? Do they receive the right sort of help from formal and informal sources?

Drawing on the newest research designed to hear the voices of children and young people, this important book examines children's experiences and perspectives on living with domestic violence. The authors explore:

- the effect of domestic violence on children

- what children say would help them most in coping with domestic violence

- the advice children would offer other children who find themselves in similar circumstances, their mothers and the helping professions.

This accessible book written for students, their teachers, researchers and all those working with children - across social work, health, child psychology and psychiatry, the law and education - will provide a vital insight into children's own perspectives on domestic violence.

Dacă psihoterapia este un proces îndelungat, costisitor sau indisponibil deocamdată, Liz Kelly oferă o alternativă la îndemână, care ne poate ajuta să ne îmbunătățim sănătatea mentală. Fie că e vorba despre necesitatea de a avea mai mare grijă de noi înșine, de a învăța modalități noi de a ne confrunta cu criticul interior și de a ne gestiona emoțiile, fie că ne-ar prinde bine să punem limite sănătoase și să construim relații mai bune, găsim în această carte insighturi pline de haz și empatie, sfaturi utile și o perspectivă înțeleaptă asupra lucrurilor apăsătoare. Prin exemple din viața autoarei și a clienților săi din psihoterapie ne familiarizăm cu noi modalități de a ne descurca mai bine făcând ordine în vraiștea activităților de zi cu zi, devenind propriii suporteri și învățând să avem grijă de noi înșine așa cum merităm.Liz Kelly este psihoterapeută, asistentă socială și scriitoare. Este specializată în confruntarea cu stresul, anxietatea, depresia și perioadele de tranziție.E greu să găsești un terapeut bun. Este şi mai complicat să găsești un terapeut bun cu care să fii pe aceeaşi lungime de undă. În calitate de terapeut care profesează în zona Washington, DC, eu personal nu pot face faţă numărului de solicitări pe care le primesc din partea clienților în fiecare lună. Pentru mine este extrem de descurajant atunci când nu am capacitatea profesională de a trata o persoană care solicită ajutor. Cartea asta e mai ieftină decât terapia este modalitatea mea de a ajuta persoanele pe care nu le pot primi în calitate de clienți.Eu definesc limitele ca fiind granițele pe care le stabiliți pentru a vă proteja starea de bine mentală, emoțională și fizică. Conceptul de limite este asemănător celui de gard în jurul curții. Limitele servesc drept linie de demarcaţie a proprietăţii personale, prin care îi informaţi pe ceilalți oameni care sunt limitele cu care vă simțiți (și cu care nu vă simțiți) confortabil. Stabilirea limitelor nu înseamnă să pedepsiţi sau să răniţi pe altcineva. Înseamnă să știţi ce aveţi nevoie pentru a fi cel mai bun sine al dumneavoastră, pentru a vă menține relațiile și pentru a aduce mai multă satisfacție în viața dumneavoastră. Limitele vă ajută să vă protejați împotriva sindromului burnout și vă împiedică să vă simțiți folosit sau furios. Vă ajută să vă creați siguranța fizică, emoțională și mentală.
