Synopsis Screaming for Change by : Lars J. Kristiansen

Screaming for Change advances an understanding of punk rock by going beyond description of punk as a musical, political, social, and cultural genre of communication. Previous scholarship about punk rock has primarily dealt with those boundaries of genre. Previous scholars neglected to examine the ideology of punk across the decades and continents. That ideology, in a word, is deviance. Through Gramscian textual analysis, this book uncovers this ideology of deviance with some surprises along the way. Students and scholars of punk rock will value the book's attention to both well known and more esoteric punk artists. Punk is arguable the most studied "subculture" to ever launch itself onto the larger social agenda as a possible counterbalance to the mainstream cultural hegemony. During the late 1970s, punk scenes sprouted up in large numbers all over the globe, and it appears that deep feelings of discontent towards the inherent alienation present in the capitalist system were the motivational seed that facilitated their growth. Unconvinced that the historical accounts have been successful in adequately describing and proficiently capturing the essence of punk, this study examines the phenomenon in slightly different terms. This study proposes that punk should be understood as a way of seeing the world, as a way of reasoning, or, essentially, as a philosophy on its own terms.

Synopsis The Tools by : Phil Stutz

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Change can begin right now. Learn to bring about dynamic personal growth using five uniquely effective tools—from psychotherapist Barry Michels and psychiatrist Phil Stutz, subject of the Netflix documentary Stutz. “These tools are emotional game changers. They do nothing less than deliver you to your best and most powerful self.”—Kathy Freston, author of Quantum Wellness How long does therapy take? The Tools offers a solution to the biggest complaint patients have about therapy: the interminable wait for change to begin. The traditional therapeutic model sets its sights on the past, but psychiatrist Phil Stutz and psychotherapist Barry Michels employ an arsenal of techniques—“the tools”—that allow patients to use their problems as levers that access the power of the unconscious and propel them into action. Suddenly, through this transformative approach, obstacles become new chances—to find courage, embrace discipline, develop self-expression, deepen creativity. A dynamic, results-oriented practice, The Tools aims to deliver relief from persistent problems and restore control and hope right away. Every day presents challenges—big and small—that the tools transform into opportunities to bring about bold and dramatic change in your life. Stutz and Michels teach you how to: • Get Unstuck: Master the things you are avoiding and live in forward motion. • Control Anger: Free yourself from out-of-control rage and never-ending grudges. • Express Yourself: Learn the secret of true confidence and find your authentic voice. • Combat Anxiety: Stop obsessive worrying and negative thinking. • Find Discipline: Activate willpower and make the most of every minute. With The Tools, Stutz and Michels allow you to realize the full range of your potential. Their goal is nothing less than for your life to become exceptional—exceptional in its resiliency, in its experience of real happiness, and in its understanding of the human spirit.

Synopsis When You Feel Like Screaming by : Dr. Grace Ketterman

A best-seller revised...with a value-added bonus! Many moms feel guilty about screaming at their children but don't know how to stop. Ketterman says, "Having grown up with a loving but screaming mother, I know the emotional damage it causes. Being a mother of three, I also know how easy it is to fall into the habit of screaming." From their research and personal and professional experience, Dr. Ketterman and Pat Holt share why mothers fall into the habit of yelling and what factors drive mothers to lose control. Using real stories from real moms, they discuss examples of how screaming and anger affects children, and also the debilitating affects it has on moms. The authors challenge parents to look at their own anger and choose to react differently. Practical steps are given for more effective and positive ways to get children to do what they must do. The second part of the book offers commonsense answers to specific questions relating to all areas of child-rearing, from infancy through teens.

Synopsis Screaming for Attention by : Chris Arnold

This book is a collection of true stories told by Chris Arnold, a behavioural consultant who works with people with developmental disabilities. Each story is unique and shows how people labelled with inappropriate, problematic, or even 'psychotic' behaviour may actually have very valid reasons for behaving the way they do. Each story tells how the author worked through the challenging behaviours to find the true motivation or meaning for that individual, and as a result, assist that person to change their behaviour for the better. Some of the stories are humorous, some are sad, but most will cause the reader to stop and re-evaluate the way that they look at people with behaviour problems. The stories may even provide the reader with ideas for helping them deal with challenging behaviour in someone they know or love. The underlying theme of the book is respect for people that behave or communicate differently from us. Recognizing that labelling people, using negative approaches, or isolating them because of the way they behave is not a solution. Instead we must truly look at the motivations for people's behaviour in order to truly understand them. This book also contains a very valuable "useful resources" section that lists some excellent publications and websites on the topic of Non-Aversive Behaviour Management, Crisis Intervention, and Persons with Developmental Disabilities.
