The girl’ heroine’s journey is distinct from a boy’s heroic journey in sandplay therapy. A Therapist’s Guide to Mapping the Girl Heroine’s Journey in Sandplay highlights crucial aspects of these journeys through the Sandplay Journey Map and assists clinicians to gain perspective on the girl’s journey towards self-confidence, mastery of challenging tasks of psychological development and behavioral competence. Mapping this journey with the mandala form, provides beginning as well as seasoned therapists a means of strengthening therapists’ clinical acuity and overall perspective on individual casework as well as in the complexity of clinical dynamics of the girl’s journey throughout the therapeutic process. Grounded in practical application and examples, readers are guided through each stage of the journey. Two clinical case studies, a compelling heroine’s tale, and experiential exercises illustrate and complement the mandala mapping practice therapeutically.

This book--which won the 2000 DRUM Magazine Readers' Poll for "Best Instructional Book"--is a complete, step-by-step course on conga drumming. It's the book we looked for but couldn't find when we were first learning to drum. We did everything we could to make it user-friendly, so even non-musicians could understand it. The book teaches families of drum parts for several authentic Afro-Caribbean rhythms, including rumba, bomba, calypso, conga, and bembe. The instruction is clear and step-by-step, and the writing creates the intimate feel of private lessons. The charts are big and easy to read. Life-like illustrations clearly demonstrate proper technique for each stroke. Please note: audio files of the CD that comes with the print version of this book are not included in this ebook version (but are available separately).
