Dyslexia in Adolescence: Global Perspectives
by Peggy L. Anderson Regine Meier-HeddeDyslexia in Adolescence: Global Perspectives presents international case studies on the psychosocial development and academic progress of adolescents with dyslexia to enhance understanding of adjustment factors, outcomes and support. The continuation of a qualitative longitudinal research project that focused on children between ten and twelve years of age, this volume revisits them between ages fourteen and sixteen.

Dyslexia: A History
by Margaret J. Snowling Philip KirbyIn 1896 the British physician William Pringle Morgan published an account of “Percy,” a “bright and intelligent boy, quick at games, and in no way inferior to others of his age.” Yet, in spite of his intelligence, Percy had great difficulty learning to read. Percy was one of the first children to be described as having word-blindness, better known today as dyslexia. In this first comprehensive history of dyslexia Philip Kirby and Margaret Snowling chart a journey that begins with Victorian medicine and continues to dyslexia’s current status as the most globally recognized specific learning difficulty. In an engaging narrative style, Kirby and Snowling tell the story of dyslexia, examining its origins and revealing the many scientists, teachers, and campaigners who put it on the map. Through this history they explain current debates over the diagnosis of dyslexia and its impact on learning.For those who have lived experience of dyslexia, professionals who have supported them, and scholars of social history, education, psychology, and childhood studies, Dyslexia reflects on the place of literacy in society – whom it has benefited, and whom it has left behind.
Dyslexia: A parents' guide to dyslexia, dyspraxia and other learning difficulties
by Valerie Muter Dr Helen LikiermanMany children spend their entire school lives struggling with their school work. Research has shown that at least 10-15 per cent of children with apparently normal learning ability will have a significant problem with school learning. They may feel that whatever they do it is not good enough - either for their parents, their teachers or indeed themselves. This can often result in feelings of demoralisation, and even alienation from learning and school. This book aims to address these issues and to help parents understand and deal with them.Dyslexia: A Parents' Guide starts by correcting common misconceptions of learning difficulties that are rife in the press and popular literature, and addresses the conflicting approaches and advice from 'experts'. This authoritative guide then moves through diagnosis – with information on dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, discalculia and more – to offering practical and easy tips to enable parents to help their child overcome their learning difficulty.Both authors are practising psychologists with extensive knowledge and experience of children's learning difficulties. They will show parents how to develop a successful approach to assessing and subsequently managing their child's difficulties.

Dyslogic Syndrome: Why Millions of Kids are "Hyper," Attention-Disordered, Learning Disabled, Depressed, Aggressive, Defiant, or Violent - and What We Can Do About It
by Bernard RimlandDyslogical children are commonly labelled as having one or more of a mix of conditions that include Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Bipolar Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. The number of children who could be described as dyslogical continues to rise sharply, and society has a tendency to lay the blame for this trend on poor parenting or bad schooling. In this ground-breaking book, Bernard Rimland argues that such `conventional wisdom' is not just mistaken but dangerous. Drawing on the latest research, Rimland outlines the impact of biological factors on today's children and exposes the influences of toxins and dietary deficiencies. Dyslogic Syndrome is full of valuable advice on the safe, effective treatments that are available to children, and offers positive strategies for helping parents and professionals to do the best for their dyslogical child.

Ahora, con todo el verano por delante, todo puede pasar…Desde que comenzaron las peleas y sus padres se divorciaron, Auden no ha podido dormir. Ahora, tiene la oportunidad de pasar un verano idílico en la casa de playa de su padre, quien vive con su nueva familia. Un trabajo en una tienda de ropa introduce a Auden al mundo de las chicas de su edad: las amigas, las charlas en confianza, el romance. Ella, ocupada complaciendo a una madre demandante, se ha perdido todo eso. Entonces llega Eli, un chico solitario e igualmente insomne que se convierte en su guía por las cálidas noches de verano. Juntos se embarcarán en aventuras paralelas: para Auden, experimentar una vida libre de preocupaciones propia de una adolescente; para Eli, liberarse de la culpa que siente por la muerte de su amigo. &“Capta maravillosamente esa sensación del verano como un umbral dorado entre los arrepentimientos del pasado y las incertidumbres del futuro&” --The Washington Post

Dónde guardar un libro gigante
by Diego FonsecaPapá siempre tiene grandes sorpresas. Ahora fue un libro.Uno grande como un gigante. Mejor: ¡como un gigante en hombros de otro gigante!Me encanta, si bien tiene un gran inconveniente: no hay lugar en casa donde Debí dejarlo en el patio.Es un libro de cuentos clásicos, dijo Papá. Si yo voy dentro de sus páginas encontraré los corsarios de la Malasia, cerditos y brujas, miguitas de pan perdidas, vaqueros y soldados.Una tarde hice la prueba. Un murmullo surgió apenas abrí un par de hojas. El de una ballena! ¡Y luego un delfín y peces voladores!Volví a casa muy entusiasmada. Papá me sentó en su regazo y se río con mis zapato al hada madrina de una hacendosa niña ceniza. Esos bravos indios con sus arcos y flechas cabalgando sobre los potros más veloces sobre la pradera interminable de un planeta púrpura.Al final, Papá se puso serio.—No olvides que debes hallar un lugar donde guardar ese libro —me dijo—.Esa es tu responsabilidad.Lo sabía y lo haría, pero no en ese momento. Tenía todavía demasiado por Unos días después, ya sabía entrar y salir velozmente de las historias y pasar sin pausa las enormes páginas. Podía personificar a una capitana en un bergantín volando por los mares del Océano Pacífico. O tal vez disfrazarme de mariposa y suspirar al oído de una niña que un lobo ladino planeaba devorarse a su abuela.También me las arreglaba para ayudar a plantar habichuelas mágicas a un niño que quería robar la gallina millonaria del ogro dormilón.

EMDR and Family Therapy: Integrative Treatment for Attachment Trauma in Children
by Debra WesselmannA practical guide to treating children suffering from early attachment trauma—now updated and revised. Loss of a parent, separations, abuse, neglect, or a history of a difficult foster or orphanage experience can lead to profound emotional dysregulation in children. Working with these children can feel overwhelming for clinicians. But by integrating EMDR with family therapy, clinicians can strengthen parent–child attachment bonds and help to mend the early experiences that drive a traumatized child’s behavior. This manual—an update to Debra Wesselmann’s popular Integrative Team Treatment for Attachment Trauma in Children—provides clear, step-by-step application of the Integrative Attachment Protocol for Children (IATP-C). In this treatment, psychoeducation assists parents in developing trauma-informed responses to their children’s challenging behaviors, while family therapy and EMDR therapy deepen children’s bonds with parents; improve self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-worth; and assist children with making sense of their traumatic pasts. Any EMDR-trained clinician—or any clinician pairing with an EMDR therapist—can implement this treatment approach to heal suffering from attachment trauma and offer children and their families a better future.

by Diana MilleEMDR in Family Systems provides clinicians with a clear account of the EMDR process and a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to healing trauma through integrating EMDR with other therapeutic tools.

Filled with a wealth of information on the latest clinical studies on topics from the neurobiology of trauma to the effectiveness of mindfulness practices in EDMR, this book will open up a host of productive new avenues for EMDR therapists to pursue with their clients.
