Book Description
Latinos immigrating into the United States bring with them their rich, unique cultural values and practices, with one constant being the celebration of and reliance on family. Family members find strength and support in the well defined roles and expectations passed down over many generations. This can provide a safe haven for individuals finding their way in the fast paced, competitive American culture where, in addition to the language barriers, different attitudes toward personal issues like dating and relationships, alcohol and drug use, parenting, and the role of elders can cause conflict and confusion and threaten the stability of family life. For over thirty years, the professionals at CLUES have worked with Latinos and their families to provide support and guidance in navigating the many psychological, social, and cultural challenges they face in adapting to their new environment. In this book, experts from different disciplines across this nationally recognized organization, share their practical wisdom—a combination of cultural sensitivity and knowledge and current behavioral health expertise—to produce a friendly, accessible guide to emotional health for Latinos. With a focus on family throughout, including success stories from a variety of Latino families, readers will find useful and inspiring information on: Understanding the importance of emotions, intimacy and communication in personal relationships Finding strength in cultural and family traditions as roles and expectations change Key stages of life issues such as parenting, gender identity, and aging Avoiding alcohol and drug abuse and getting help should this become a problem Contributing to family and society through work and career, education, and developing financial stability The importance of spirituality and moral values in maintaining a sense of personal and family well-being Selected key passages are bi-lingual.

Nancy Friday shows that the key to a woman's character lies in her relationship with her mother - that first binding relationship which becomes the model for so much of women's adult relationships with men, and whose fetters constrain her sexuality, independence and very selfhood.

Book Description
This is my first book and is intended for family and close friends. The older I get the more I regret that I didnt ask my parents and grandparents more about their lives. My grandmothers were in their 20s when women got the vote. Did they care? What did they think about that? Nanas father died before she was born. Her mother had to raise six young children in a small town in Texas in the late 19th century. How did she manage? To the dismay of her parents, my mother eloped at 18 instead of going on to Stanford where she had been admitted. Grandpa lost his mother at a young age and gained a stepmother that he apparently didnt like. How did my grandparents meet and what attracted them to each other? What kind of weddings did they have? My questions are endless. Ill never get them answered. The stories would be precious to know. In this spirit I offer these family stories for readers I know and for all others in the future.

Book Description
Me, my Self, and I FIVE STEPS TO BECOMING YOUR real Self: THE UNTOLD STORY (Mind & Body) Most of us want to understand more about ourselves and who we are in everyday life. The reality in which we live may resemble somebody elses life and dreams (our First Program), causing us to repeat patterns of our parents and family members, this happens at the cellular level (behavioural cells) and is recorded in the same way as DNA. Through our senses, we are creating an internal picture (the movie of our life) and like a movie it will follow a script which shapes and influences our beliefs and values in all our choices. This book is a five-step Self-realization kit to create a new script in Light of our new choices and evolution, taking us on the road to becoming our real Self! We can reprogram ourselves with repetition in the same way we learn a new skill or sport. Just as our ancestors knew and practiced, this will involve our Mind & Body in connection with the planet and its living things. What affect others affects us as well we all live in the same fish thank. The last chapter explains numerology and its meaning in our everyday life, because every fruit has its season! All through the book I use simple explanations about my understandings of the process of life to make it easy for you. I hope you will find your Self in this book. My life has been a continuous investigation into the mystery of the human Mind & Body behaviour. I have been using these same five steps in my life, starting from the bottom and heading towards the top. The process continues. God bless you, Gianluca Boschi Dreams are our unconscious Mind (heart) at its very best!

Book Description
Çiğdem Kağıtçıbaşı's influential volume was a work of masterful scholarship and field-defining thought that challenged the existing assumptions in mainstream western psychology about the nature of individuals. During the past two decades since its publication, cultural and cross-cultural research and theory on the self, family, and human development have expanded greatly, developing fruitfully from the basic issues and paradigms Kağıtçıbaşı explored. This Classic Edition provides a critical assessment, consideration, and reflection of recent scholarship in this field. It brings this essential work up to date and appraises it in the light of current prevailing perspectives.
Author: J. David Velleman Publisher: Open Book Publishers ISBN: 1783741678 Category : Philosophy Languages : en Pages : 234
Book Description
In nine lively essays, bioethicist J. David Velleman challenges the prevailing consensus about assisted suicide and reproductive technology, articulating an original approach to the ethics of creating and ending human lives. He argues that assistance in dying is appropriate only at the point where talk of suicide is not, and he raises moral objections to anonymous donor conception. In their place, Velleman champions a morality of valuing personhood over happiness in making end-of-life decisions, and respecting the personhood of future children in making decisions about procreation. These controversial views are defended with philosophical rigor while remaining accessible to the general reader. Written over Velleman's 30 years of undergraduate teaching in bioethics, the essays have never before been collected and made available to a non-academic audience. They will open new lines of debate on issues of intense public interest.
