Impact Techniques for Therapists: 88 Activities To Engage Your Students
by Danie BeaulieuImpact Techniques for Therapists teaches the basic principles of Impact Therapy, first developed by Ed Jacobs in 1992. Drawing heavily on the work of Milton Erickson, this form of therapy uses a creative and interactive approach to counseling that involves all senses in the therapeutic process. These innovative, multisensory techniques will incorporate therapist-client exchanges on not only verbal but also visual and kinesthetic levels, thereby increasing the efficacy of the intervention. Accompanied by a conversational tone and vivid artwork, Beaulieu presents concrete examples of props and movements that can be introduced into therapy and thoroughly illustrates their different uses. Originally written and published in French as a handbook for therapists, Dr. Beaulieu’s formative work is now available in a new English edition, with a more encompassing introduction as well as updated case examples. The model set forth in this book can be integrated easily and seamlessly into the practice of a wide variety of mental health professionals seeking to discover new and innovative developments in brief therapy.

In a Pig's Eye
by Judie Wolkoff[From the front dust jacket flap:] Maisie Blumm and Glenda Jax are best friends--even while they aren't speaking. Which is often. They are both fourth graders at Fairview School in Deer Creek, Connecticut, and each is the owner of the world's most dearly-loved dog. So what if Glenda's Snookums looks like a "hairy mouse", granddaughter of a dustmop (Maisie's opinion). So what if Maisie's Oxie must be a mix of squirrel and baboon, and flea-brained besides (ask Glenda). Girls--and dogs, too--share some hilarious good times. For example, there is the afternoon when Lloyd Blumm is downtown buying a record and Maisie and Glenda can finally sneak a look to see if his room really is booby-trapped. (He's rigged up something! And the reason for that is a small item which appeared in The Poppin Road Gazette about the incredible condition of the "pig sty" he calls his bedroom. The publishers of the paper--Maisie and Glenda--have gone too far in their "DID YOU KNOW?" gossip column, and now Lloyd has declared war). Other good times include the heroic results of the great balloon send-off and the unexpected ending of the Deer Creek Dog Show, when Oxie and Snookums compete head to head for blue ribbons. But wait! All ends well... or does it? Only best friends forgive, forget and survive a crisis laughing.
