This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduces a Powerful New Brief Therapy Approach This groundbreaking book is the first to provide a comprehensive model for effectively blending the two main postmodern brief therapy approaches: solution-focused and narrative therapies. It harnesses the power of both models—the strengths-based, problem-solving approach of SFT and the value-honoring and re-descriptive approach of Narrative Therapy--to offer brief, effective help to clients that builds on their strengths and abilities to envision and craft preferred outcomes. Authored by a leading trainer, teacher, and practitioner in the field, the book provides an overview of the history of both models and outlines their differences, similarities, limitations and strengths. It then demonstrates how to blend these two approaches in working with such issues as trauma, addictions, grief, relationship issues, family therapy and mood issues. Each concern is illustrated with a case study from practice with individual adults, adolescents, children, and families. Useful client dialogue and forms are included to help the clinician guide clients in practice. Each chapter concludes with a summary describing and reinforcing the principles of the topic and a personal exercise so the reader can experience the approach first hand. Key Features: Describes how two popular postmodern therapy models are combined to create a powerful new therapeutic approach—the first book to do so Includes case studies reflecting the model’s use with individual adults, children, adolescents, and families Provides supporting dialogue and forms for practitioners Authored by a leading figure in SFT and its application in a variety of setting Presents an overview of the history of both models

Book excerpt: On a hot August day in 1890, Reverend Milton Little stood on a bluff overlooking the Trinity River, four miles east of the growing city of Fort Worth, Texas. The spot, he decided, would be the perfect location for the new educational institution planned by Fort Worth Methodists. Their "college on the hill" began as Polytechnic College in 1890, educating young men and women in subjects needed by the developing industrial and commercial economy of the state. The coeducational institution changed its focus in 1914, becoming Texas Woman's College and educating young women in the liberal arts, especially music, in a supportive Christian environment. Needing to increase enrollment during the hard times of the Great Depression, college trustees decided to welcome young men back to the school in 1934. After changing its name to Texas Wesleyan College, the institution prevailed through depression, war, and financial strain. Traditions unique to Texas Wesleyan developed over the years. Some, like the Robing Ceremony, remain; others, like the May Fête, the Smile Girl, and the Old Student-New Student Wedding, are remembered only in the memories of former students.For 125 years, the "college on the hill," known since 1988 as Texas Wesleyan University, has remained in its historic location on the bluff above the Trinity, the oldest continuously operating institution of higher education in north Texas. With the support of its donors, trustees, alumni, administrators, faculty, and students, the university continues to provide the opportunity for its students to pursue individual excellence and develop civic responsibility in a "smaller, smarter" environment. To change the world by changing lives, one student at a time, remains its goal, as the university looks forward to the next 125 years.

Download or read book Dissonant Identities written by Barry Shank and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music of the bars and clubs of Austin, Texas has long been recognized as defining one of a dozen or more musical "scenes" across the country. In Dissonant Identities, Barry Shank, himself a musician who played and lived in the Texas capital, studies the history of its popular music, its cultural and economic context, and also the broader ramifications of that music as a signifying practice capable of transforming identities. While his focus is primarily on progressive country and rock, Shank also writes about traditional country, blues, rock, disco, ethnic, and folk musics. Using empirical detail and an expansive theoretical framework, he shows how Austin became the site for "a productive contestation between two forces: the fierce desire to remake oneself through musical practice, and the equally powerful struggle to affirm the value of that practice in the complexly structured late-capitalist marketplace."

Book excerpt: Sandra Greene knows men don't go for women like her: the invisible ones, the plain ones scrambling to make a living without benefit of the right connections, college degree, and fashionable clothes. But her life is changed forever when, at an old friend's wedding, she meets the wealthy socialites of the Hunt Club. They proudly claim they made that wedding possible, and they make Sandra an offer no woman can refuse. Sandra is guaranteed to marry any man she wants—no matter how good-looking, rich, powerful, or successful. All she has to do is play their matchmaking "game." Seduced by the promise of makeovers, money, and matrimony, she quickly joins the Hunt Club and can't wait to go after the husband of her dreams—a sexy Hollywood actor. At first it all seems too wonderful to be true as she changes her life and is about to get her guy—until the FBI steps in asking questions. Just how far will these women go to get what they want? That's when Sandra begins to realize that matchmaking is really murder...possibly in more ways than one!
