Book Description
First published in 2003. Children's Friendship Training is a complete manualized guide for therapists treating children with peer problems. This unique, empirically validated treatment is the first to integrate parents into the therapy process to ensure generalization to school and home. Representing over twelve years of research, Children's Friendship Training presents the comprehensive social skills training program developed by these pioneering authors. Step-by-step interventions help children develop the skills to initiate mutually satisfying social interactions. These interactions can lead to higher regard within the peer group and the development of satisfying dyadic relationships that will, in turn, serve to enhance overall well being. Clinical and empirical rationales, illustrative case examples and parent handouts that educate parents and give specific guidelines for homework assignments are presented for each treatment module. Brief relevant reviews of the child development literature and selective reviews of assessment techniques and other approached to children's social skills training are presented to sufficiently acquaint therapists interested in implementing children's friendship training.

Book Description
El colectivo femenino está considerado como uno de los más vulnerables, junto con los niños y ancianos, debido a su condición física, factores sociales, etc., por lo tanto son víctimas potenciales de agresiones y de todo tipo de abusos. La violencia contra las mujeres es una clara expresión de la desigualdad entre hombres y mujeres, siendo ésta, un grave problema para la sociedad. Los compromisos diarios de las mujeres en la actualidad hacen que frecuentemente se vean solas ante situaciones de peligro potencial, y también son numerosas las ocasiones en las que una mujer puede ser molestada o agredida: al regresar tarde a casa, en un aparcamiento subterráneo, caminando por una calle desierta, en la parada del autobús, en el ascensor, al sacar dinero del cajero, etc. Es importante, que las mujeres conozcan las circunstancias en que se producen estas agresiones, que estrategias pueden emplear para evitarlas y que deben hacer cuando estas ya se han producido. Este libro trata de suponer un instrumento de trabajo y un medio con el que tratar de adquirir nuevos conocimientos, tácticas y tecnicas útiles para salvaguardar su libertad cuando ésta se ve amenazad por situaciones, eventos o personas imprevisibles. Dentro de este libro los objetivos: Aprender una serie de tecnicas de defensa personal sencillas y súper contundentes encaminadas a preservar la integridad física, ante agresiones violentas e ilícitas contra una persona. Formación para la mujer en materia de autoprotección Aumentar la autoestima y confianza de la mujer eliminando esos miedos Asesorar a la mujer en temas como la legítima defensa, la violencia de género, agresiones sexuales, como son y cómo las prefieren los violadores, etc. Todo ello elaborando un protocolo de prevención dirigido a la mujer. Existen una serie de reglas de prevención que hay que tener en cuenta para evitar cualquier tipo de peligro, acompañadas de unas medidas de seguridad. Conocer estas técnicas no quiere decir que se vuelvan mujeres violentas o agresivas, sino que adquieren los conocimientos y tácticas necesarias para afrontar y reaccionar ante cualquier agresión, pero ante todo, ser capaces de prevenir cualquier agresión, y de prevenir una situación de peligro, ya que el estudio de la defensa personal comienza con la prevención. La prevención es el mejor medio para garantizarnos una seguridad integral. El agresor es un depredador que elige su presa, la prevención permite que no seamos una presa fácil.

Book Description
Hemos construido la pedagogía al margen de las personas para las que se dirige. Las políticas educativas se centran ahora en grandes cifras, extraídas de enormes herramientas estadísticas omnipresentes a lo largo y ancho del planeta, que comparan realidades radicalmente diferentes y desiguales sin ningún pudor. Como respuesta a esta realidad y de forma casi residual, se han ido creando en las últimas décadas estudios que buscan «dar voz» a quienes no la tienen.Sin embargo, todas las personas tienen voz, aunque algunas no han sido oídas mínimamente. Por tanto, el primer paso para estudiar sus realidades es reconocer sus voces y el valor de lo que dicen. En el fracaso escolar, por ejemplo, algo tendrán que decir quienes lo sufren?

Book Description
This biography recounting the Argentinean president’s rise, fall, and remarkable return to power is “a formidable achievement” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Latin America has produced no more remarkable or enduring political figure than Juan Perón. Born to modest circumstances in 1895 and trained in the military, he rose to power during a period of political uncertainty in Argentina. A shrewd opportunist who understood the needs and aspirations of the country’s workers, Perón rode their votes to the presidency and then increased their share of the nation’s wealth. But he also destroyed the independence of their unions and suppressed dissent. Ousted in a coup in 1955, Perón wandered about Latin America and finally settled in Spain, where he masterminded an astonishing political comeback that climaxed in his reelection as president in 1973. Joseph A. Page’s engrossing biography is based upon interviews, never-before-inspected Argentine and US government documents, and exhaustive research. It spans Perón’s formative years; his arrest and dramatic rescue by the descamisados in 1945; his relationship with the now mythic Evita; the violence and mysterious murders that punctuated his career; his tragic legacy, personified by his third wife, Isabel, who assumed the presidency after his death under the influence of a Rasputin-like astrologer; and the continuing appeal of Perónism in Argentina. In addition, Page’s study of Argentine-American relations is particularly penetrating—especially in its description of the struggle between Perón and US ambassador Spruille Braden. “It would probably take a novel stamped with the surrealistic genius of a Gabriel García Márquez to render all the madness, perverse magic and tragedy of Juan Domingo Perón and his Argentina. But Joseph A. Page has come up with the next best option. . . . A clearly written, definitive study.” —The New York Times Book Review
