But Arnold, like Alice’s husband, has moved on from the tragedy and pleads her to do the same. Arnold is confident that revealing Hank’s big secret will help Alice grieve. But when Alice starts finding sticky notes that could only be from her dead son, her desire for revenge intensifies along with her desperate search for the truth.

The Routledge International Handbook of Psychosocial Resilience
Author: Updesh Kumar
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317355938
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 646
Book Description
Psychological resilience has emerged as a highly significant area of research and practice in recent years, finding applications with a broad range of different groups in many settings. Contemporary discourse is not limited to ways of effective coping with adversity but also introduces mechanisms that can lead to enhanced capacity after dealing with difficult circumstances and recognises the importance of enriching the field with varied perspectives. The Routledge International Handbook of Psychosocial Resilience is a comprehensive compendium of writings of international contributors that takes stock of the state-of-the-art in resilience theory, research and practice. The Routledge International Handbook of Psychosocial Resilience covers the many different trajectories that resilience research has taken in four parts. Part One delineates the ‘Conceptual Arena’ by providing an overview of the current state of theory and research, exploring biological, psychological, and socio-ecological perspectives and discussing various theoretical models of personal and social resilience. The ‘Psychosocial Correlates’ of resilience are discussed further in Part Two, from personal and personality correlates, socio-environmental factors and the contextual and cultural conditions conducive to resilient behaviour. In Part Three, ‘Applied Evidences’ are introduced in order to build upon the theoretical foundations in the form of several case studies drawn from varied contexts. Examples of resilient behaviour range from post-disaster scenarios to special operation groups, orphaned children, and violent extremism. Finally, Part Four, ‘Proposed Implications and Resilience Building’, sums up the issues involved in discussing post-traumatic growth, wellbeing and positive adaptation in the varied contexts of personal, familial, organizational and societal resilience. The volume provides a comprehensive overview of resilience theory, practice and research across disciplines and cultures, from varied perspectives and different populations. It will be a key reference for psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists and psychiatric social workers in practice and in training as well as researchers and students of psychology, sociology, human development, family studies and disaster management.

The Discourse of Court Interpreting
Author: Sandra Beatriz Hale
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027295549
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
This book explores the intricacies of court interpreting through a thorough analysis of the authentic discourse of the English-speaking participants, the Spanish-speaking witnesses and the interpreters. Written by a practitioner, educator and researcher, the book presents the reader with real issues that most court interpreters face during their work and shows through the results of careful research studies that interpreter’s choices can have varying degrees of influence on the triadic exchange. It aims to raise the practitioners’ awareness of the significance of their choices and attempts to provide a theoretical basis for interpreters to make informed decisions rather than intuitive ones. It also suggests solutions for common problems. The book highlights the complexities of court interpreting and argues for thorough training for practicing interpreters to improve their performance as well as for better understanding of their task from the legal profession. Although the data is drawn from Spanish-English cases, the main results can be extended to any language combination. The book is written in a clear, accessible language and is aimed at practicing interpreters, students and educators of interpreting, linguists and legal professionals.

Poetically Speaking
Author: Thelma Cunningham
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1543439470
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 676
Book Description
This book reflects the various styles of poetry—like prose, metaphor, simile, etc.—with one fairy tale (Lisa’s Unforgettable Stories: First Mommy Series), seven stories in all, and twelve short stories to follow. One book was written in memory of Mom. This book of poetry is the fifth. There are 355 brand-new poems and also about seventy brand-new written songs. Again, there are some R&B, but most are gospel. All books, poems, songs, and stories written were inspired by God. I give God the glory for the inspiration to write them, the talent to do so and to edit them, and the blessing to be able to have them published. It was very hard work, but Jesus is my coauthor, and he only brought and saw me through. I must give him the praise and honor for blessing me abundantly with much favor and encouraging me to finish each project that he gave the inspiration for.
