Book Description
DESCRIPTION The King Of All Liars is a work of humorous fiction by author Teni Abegunde. This book is billed as the first ‘sit-down’ comedy, in the opposite sense to 'stand-up.' The approach is simple: you read the book as though its author was a stand-up comic delivering the lines to you in your own home. From early life to the here and now, Teni makes it clear that he wants the lazy life, and this book is a lazy, luxurious way to enjoy comedy without having to go out to a show. REVIEW “Teni Abegunde’s comedic style is mostly observational, and the book certainly feels like he is directly addressing an unseen audience in the stand-up comedy fashion. Some of the stories in The King Of All Liars are pretty incredulous, and others point out the very amusing and irritating parts of everyday life that we can all relate to.” —Readers’ Favorite FROM THE AUTHOR The concept of a sit-down comedy book evolved gradually. The idea started in high school during a regular hangout with my friends. I noticed that two girls who were visiting us that day weren't laughing at the jokes I'd been telling. Puzzled, I asked one of my friends if the girls were pregnant. "No, they’re not pregnant—they’re deaf," she replied. At first, I thought she was joking, but one of my other classmates confirmed it. Later that day, the two girls sent a note to me asking if I could write down what I’d said that had made everyone laugh. Though I didn’t mention in the note I sent back to them that I’d asked if they were pregnant, I did include a couple of things I said that were funny. The one-page joke I sent to those girls that day was the beginning of my sit-down comedy book. Many more notes followed as they kept on asking for more. These girls would later give me a name: “the Funny Hand of God.” I adopted the name quickly. It was better than the nickname my friends at school called me. You don’t want to know. Stand-up comedy has been around for many decades, and in that time many great comedians have emerged, keeping the tradition alive. These include: George Carlin, Steve Harvey, Lenny Bruce, Dave Chapelle and many more. Yet, out of millions of people who know these comedians from watching and listening to them, many have only known them by name, and by the books some of them authored. The best material from these comedians is only known to those who can hear them. A year ago at Dulles Airport, I met one of those girls who visited our school that day. She reignited the memories we shared together. I can’t describe the feelings I felt when she gestured that I am the funniest person she has ever known. From that moment on I decided I want to be known as the funniest comedian that never performed on stage. I want to deliver stand-up comedy inside a book. Someone has to do it. This is how the first sit-down comedy book came to be. And many more will follow. If you are looking for a book that will make you laugh, check out The King Of All Liars. I promise, it won't disappoint you.

Amelia Kahaney's All the Best Liars is a dark, modern psychological thriller and coming-of-age story about obsession, manipulation, and the intensity of those first friendships that take hold of you and never let go Tic-tac-toe, three girls in a row. Nine years old and inseparable. Friends for life, or so they think . . . Best friends Syd, Rain, and Brie grew up on the wrong side of the tracks in the stifling California desert, desperately wishing for a way out. When a deadly fire is set two weeks before the end of high school, nothing will ever be the same. In the end, each of them will escape—but not in the way any of them expects. One will do it by dying, another by lying, a third by taking the fall. With gorgeous, taut prose and twists to the very last page, All the Best Liars alternates between the present and the past to unravel the truth behind the fire and the cost of the secrets at the heart of their friendship.

Solution-based Casework
Author: William C. BarrettPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000160912
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
Solution-based casework is an approach to assessment, case planning, and case management that combines what we know from clinical social work with what we value about sound social work practice. It is grounded in family-centered social work and draws from clinical approaches within social work and mental health. By integrating problem- and solution-focused approaches that form the clinical and social work traditions, treatment partnerships are more easily formed between family, caseworker, and service provider. Solution-Based Casework is a skill-based, practice-oriented text that provides the specific guidance that students and new practitioners need in order to make sense quickly of the complex tasks of assessment and case planning in child welfare. The book flows out of a long practice experience, and was developed in consultation with workers and supervisors who were attempting to remedy problems viewed as contributing to recurrent abuse and neglect. It seeks to end adversarial relationships in casework and advocates case plans based on specific outcome skills rather than on those written with vague outcome goals measuring attendance in counseling. It serves as a common conceptual framework for integrating disparate segments of a response network, thereby allowing all providers in a therapeutic system to work toward common goals. The text is divided into three sections. In Section I the conceptual history and theoretical foundations of solution-based casework are presented so that the reader can place this approach to casework within the ongoing professional conversation about what constitutes sound practice. Section II addresses issues of assessment and case planning. Section III focuses on case management issues and how treatment team members experience a solution-based casework approach.
