The final book in the Tamar Black saga. Denny should never have crashed the mainframe! Rebooting was the easy bit, making sure all the deleted files didn't reboot was a little harder. He should have been more careful. Now the mythological age is back, in fact, it never went away. The Greek gods are still on Mount Olympus. And the clerks in mainframe are furious and insisting that Tamar and Denny fix it. Right now! The only problem is, they have to go back to when the age of myths was supposed to have ended and make sure that it does. Well, that's not the only problem...
Written by an experienced educational and developmental psychologist, ACT for Treating Children offers clinicians clear, practical, brief, and developmentally appropriate strategies grounded in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help children ages 5 to 12 learn effective coping skills, manage emotions, and bounce back from life's difficulties. If you treat children struggling with mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety, you know that approaches designed for adults do not work with younger clients. ACT for Treating Children presents skills grounded in evidence-based ACT to help children regulate emotions and cope with the inevitable ups and downs of life, and is suitable for clinicians with no prior knowledge of or training in ACT, as well as seasoned ACT clinicians. This practical clinician’s guide outlines a simplified version of the ACT Hexaflex—a key component of this treatment model—called the Kidflex, to help young clients build resilience and psychological flexibility. You’ll also find detailed case studies, transcripts, activities, experiential exercises, worksheets, and session plans to help you develop the skillset you need to help children overcome disorders such as stress, anxiety and depression. Finally, you’ll find strategies for involving parents in treatment when appropriate, and enlisting them as ‘ACT coaches’ in the child’s therapy. It can be difficult to know where to start when using ACT for individual therapy with children. That’s why the skills in this go-to guide are practical and easy-to-implement, can be done with children in both face-to-face therapy and online sessions, and are simple enough for children to put into practice in any setting—whether it’s at home, in school, or out in the world.

Book Three of the Iphigenia Black Series. We are all slaves of one kind or another. It's just that, for most of us, it isn't written down in black and white, and that makes it easy to ignore. However, when you make a deal with the Devil, there really is no ignoring it - and no point in trying. Better to face it head on - the witch's way. And if, while you are doing it, you can make the rotten, devious, conniving νόθος wish he'd never been spawned - well then, so much the better. But when the darkness falls and the chaos erupts, suddenly revenge doesn't seem like such a good idea - as Iffie is about to find out... the hard way. Is it too late to change her mind? Well... maybe.

This book spotlights the plight of African American boys and men, examining multiple systems beyond education, incarceration, and employment to assess their impact on the mental and physical health of African American boys and men—and challenges everyday citizens to help start a social transformation. Beyond Stereotypes in Black and White: How Everyday Leaders Can Build Healthier Opportunities for African American Boys and Men exposes the daily plight of African American boys and men, identifying the social and policy infrastructure that ensnares them in a downward spiral that worsens with each exposure to our system that offers unemployment, low-wage work, marginalization, and incarceration. The book examines why African American boys and men are more sickly and die younger than any other racial group in the United States, have very few health coverage options, and are consistently incarcerated at rates that are wildly disproportionate to their representation of the U.S. population; and it documents how this tremendous injustice comes with a cost that burdens all groups in American society, not just African Americans. Additionally, the author challenges readers to see that all of us must act individually and collectively to right this social wrong.
