Those who have never experienced an abusive or violent relationship often believe that upon finding a way out, victims’ difficulties are solved: their life is good, they are safe, and recovery will be swift. However, survivors know that leaving is not the end of the nightmare — it is the beginning of an often difficult and challenging journey toward healing and happiness. It’s My Life Now offers readers the practical guidance, emotional reassurance, and psychological awareness that survivors of relationship abuse and domestic violence need to heal and reclaim their lives after leaving their abusers.

Since its publication in 2000, It’s My Life Now has been highly successful as a working manual for survivors who are starting their lives over after an abusive relationship. This valuable book combines direction on practical and emotional issues with worksheets and self-exploration exercises. Now, in the second edition, Dugan and Hock include updated information and resources while encompassing a wider range of individuals and the relationships in which abuse and violence occur. The new edition also provides a new emphasis on safety assessment, which has increasingly been shown to be a critical factor in recovery. In addition, this new edition includes current resources and information about organizations for victims along with revised and enhanced strategies to help survivors move forward on the path of recovery.

This text is for women who have recently left an abusive relationship and are attempting to face the challenge of putting their lives back together. During this difficult period, women who have managed to leave the relationship are faced with the scary and daunting prospect of living independently, rebuilding self-esteem and self-worth, and learning how to establish healthy relationships in the future. Many are tempted to return to the abuser and have to mend or re-establish relationships with friends or family. This book provides accessible practical information on how to protect yourself once you’ve left the relationship, how to get through the difficult emotions that accompany leaving an abusive relationship, and includes exercises that are designed to help women monitor their emotional progress as they get further away from their old relationships.

Readers seeking ideas for improving their lives will find Coping with Life Challenges, 2/E highly accessible and empowering. Kleinke synthesizes a wealth of information that researchers have discovered about coping. First he introduces “coping” and defines important terms. Next is a discussion of specific challenges and the coping skills to deal with them. An additional two chapters are devoted to examining particular, personal experiences of people confronted with difficult issues, such as illness and injury. The final chapter discusses coping as a life philosophy that can lead to becoming a self-fulfilled, well-rounded person. Self-scoring assessment questionnaires throughout the book allow readers to assess their coping strengths and weaknesses. Learning to cope is not an inborn talent; it is a set of skills that can be developed–especially with the help of this book!

DIFFICULT DOESN’T MEAN IMPOSSIBLE

We’ve all encountered them: the bullies, the wet blankets, the yea-sayers that never come through. More often than not, we’re left fumbling for words, stumbling toward the door…frustrated, enraged or just plain depressed.

Dr. Robert M. Bramson, a psychologist and management consultant, will show you that it is possible to remain sane, dignified and optimistic when dealing with even the most Difficult People. With these lively, insightful dramatizations, you’ll learn how to:

* Identify difficult types, from the too-good-to-be-true to the too-hot-to-handle, from the perennial gossip to the eternal clam. * Master the step-by-step procedures that will neutralize any negative or hostile encounter. * Understand your own style of thinking and how it affects your ability to deal effectively with each type.

Maybe you can’t turn “Gloomy Gus” into “Pollyanna”…but with the help of Dr. Bramson, you’ll prevent the difficult from becoming impossible — and end “relation frustrations” for good!

Evidence is accumulating that in many contemporary work environments people are literally working themselves to death. But what do we really know about job-related stress and illness? Based on a ten-year study of nearly five thousand workers, this path-breaking book by a distinguished industrial engineer and sociologist and a specialist in industrial medicine identifies a clear connection between work-related illness and workers’ lack of participation in the design and outcome of their labors.

A new vision of aging?a revolutionary program to keep your mind and memory sharp This groundbreaking new book begins with a startling premise: Not only can mental function and memory be maintained into old age, they can be improved and developed to the end of life. Leading gerontologists Sandra Cusack and Wendy Thompson introduce total fitness for the brain, a program they have developed over years of research and practical work in the field. This new program allows anyone to achieve a more positive mental attitude?an attitude that is characterized by optimism, mental flexibility, self-esteem and a willingness to take risks. Quizzes and brain teasers are used to develop creative thinking, which is critical to maintaining an active, flexible mind. Research has shown that, in some people, keeping an active mind and being positively engaged with the world may even delay or slow the effects of Alzheimer?s disease. Many retirees start to disengage from an active life as they feel a diminished sense of responsibility in their lives. Mental Fitness for Life offers a way out of the damaging negative thought patterns that perpetuate reduced brain functioning in the elderly. Although this mental fitness program is designed for retired and elderly individuals, it is also suitable for anyone who wants to increase their mental acuity and get the most out of life. Each chapter begins with a mental fitness warm up consisting of quizzes and puzzles to get your brain limbered up. 1. Why are 1990 American dollar bills worth more that 1989 American dollar bills? 2. Is there are fourth of July in England? 3. How many animals of each sex did Moses take on the ark? Quizzes or puzzles are followed by one of seven key components of mental fitness, with references to research and practical experience. Each chapter concludes with assignments– practical activities to incorporate into your daily routine.(September 2003)
