Karen: A True Story Told by Her Mother
by Marie KillileaWinner of the Christopher Award: This bestseller tells the inspirational true story of a girl with cerebral palsy and the mother who wouldn&’t give up on her. In 1940, when Karen Killilea was born three months premature and developed cerebral palsy, doctors encouraged her parents to put her in an institution and forget about her. At the time, her condition was considered untreatable, and institutionalization was the only recourse. But in a revolutionary act of faith and love, the Killileas never gave up hope that Karen could lead a successful life. Written by Karen&’s mother, Marie, this memoir is a profound and heartwarming personal account of a young mother&’s efforts to refute the medical establishment&’s dispiriting advice, and her daughter&’s extraordinary triumph over seemingly insurmountable odds. Marie&’s activism spread awareness of the mistreatment of disabled people in America and led to the formation of multiple foundations, including United Cerebral Palsy. A larger-than-life story, Karen tells of a family&’s courage, patience, and struggle in the face of extreme difficulty. The New York Times wrote, &“You&’ll want to read it most for Karen&’s own words: &‘I can walk, I can talk. I can read. I can write. I can do anything.&’&”

Kasey’s River Song: Spinnig Dreams In Gold Rush Alaska
by Lewis NormaThirteen-year-old Kathleen Camille (Kasey) Mackenzie faces challenges in Alaska that will require all the strength and courage she can muster. She is forced to struggle with everything from a dress-stealing bear to a killer storm. The unthinkable happens: the death of her beloved father in a mining accident. Her mother had died two years earlier. Now she's alone in Alaska, but only until her grandmother comes to rescue her--whether she wants rescuing or not. Though mature beyond her years, Kasey is far from perfect. She can't quite control a wide stubborn streak and alienates two of the people she loves most. Her strong will might help find everything she longs for--or it could be her undoing.

Die Methode ist eine von Hanscarl Leuner unter dem Namen „Katathymes Bilderleben“ 1955 eingeführte und seither weiterentwickelte Methode der psychodynamischen Psychotherapie. Anschaulich in Fallbeispielen und übersichtlich in einer systematischen Darstellung zeigen die Autoren den State of the Art.Über die Methode: Wie arbeitet KIP? Die therapeutische Praxis beruht auf der Einbeziehung von Imaginationen in den Therapieprozess. Unbewusste Wünsche, Konflikte, deren Abwehr sowie die Übertragungsbeziehung werden so symbolhaft veranschaulicht. Die vom Therapeuten angeregten und begleiteten Imaginationen ergänzen auf wertvolle Weise den psychodynamischen Verstehensprozess und eröffnen zusätzlich zum Gespräch einen affektnahen, motivationsfördernden Zugangsweg bei der Bearbeitung vieler Störungsbilder in Kurz- und Langzeittherapien. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Imaginationen nutzenden Psychotherapiemethoden werden die Imaginationen in der KIP unter Beachtung von Übertragung und Widerstand als Bestandteil der Beziehungsarbeit verstanden.Geschrieben für ... psychodynamisch arbeitende Psychotherapeuten, Psychiater und Psychoanalytiker, die mit Imaginationen arbeiten, sowie alle an Bildsprache, Metaphern und Träumen interessierten Kollegen.
Katathym Imaginative Psychotherapy: Textbook of Working with Imaginations in Psychodynamic Psychotherapies
by Ulrich Bahrke Karin NohrIn this book, Dr. Bahrke and Dr. Nohr introduce psychotherapists and psychoanalysts to how they can work with Katathym Imaginative Psychotherapy (KIP) at the current level of psychodynamic knowledge. The method is a method of psychodynamic psychotherapy introduced by Hanscarl Leuner in 1955 under the name "Katathymes Bilderleben" and further developed since then. The authors clearly show the state of the art in case studies and in a systematic presentation. About the method: How does KIP work? The therapeutic practice is based on the inclusion of imaginations in the therapy process. Unconscious desires, conflicts, their defense as well as the transference relationship are thus symbolically illustrated. The imaginations stimulated and accompanied by the therapist are a valuable supplement to the psychodynamic process of understanding and, in addition to conversation, open up an affect-related, motivation-promoting access route in the treatment of many disturbance patterns in short and long-term therapies. In contrast to other psychotherapy methods that use imaginations, imaginations in KIP are understood as a component of relational work, taking transference and resistance into account. Written for ... Psychodynamically working psychotherapists, psychiatrists and psychoanalysts who work with imaginations, as well as all colleagues interested in figurative language, metaphors and dreams.
Katherine Carlyle
by Rupert Thomson"Katherine Carlyle is a masterpiece." --Philip Pullman, best-selling author of the His Dark Materials trilogy "[T]his road trip through a snow dome of mesmeric hallucinations is Thomson at his best." --Richard Flanagan, author of The Narrow Road to the Deep North, winner of the 2015 Man Booker Prize Katherine Carlyle is Rupert Thomson's breakthrough novel. Written in the beautifully spare, lucid, and cinematic prose Thomson is known for, and powered by his natural gift for storytelling, it uses the modern techniques of IVF to throw new light on the myth of origins. It is a profound and moving novel about identity, the search for personal meaning, and how we are loved. Unmoored by her mother's death and feeling her father to be an increasingly distant figure, Katherine Carlyle abandons the set course of her life and starts out on a mysterious journey to the ends of the world. Instead of going to college, she disappears, telling no one where she has gone. What begins as an attempt to punish her father for his absence gradually becomes a testing ground of his love for her, a coming-to-terms with the death of her mother, and finally the mise-en-scène for a courageous leap to true empowerment.

Keep Out of Reach of Children
by Mark A. Largent"Well-researched. . . . A revealing work. " - Kirkus Reviews "A fascinating history of a public health crisis. Compellingly written and insightful, Keep Out of Reach of Children traces the discovery of Reye's syndrome, research into its causes, industry's efforts to avoid warning labels on one suspected cause, aspirin, and the feared disease's sudden disappearance. Largent's empathy is with the myriad children and parents harmed by the disease, while he challenges the triumphalist view that labeling solved the crisis. " - ERIK M. CONWAY , coauthor of Merchants of Doubt "Largent's engaging and honest account explores how medical mysteries are shaped by prevailing narratives about venal drug companies, heroic investigators, and Johnny-come-lately politicians. " - HELEN EPSTEIN , author of The Invisible Cure Reye's syndrome, identified in 1963, was a debilitating, rare condition that typically afflicted healthy children just emerging from the flu or other minor illnesses. It began with vomiting, followed by confusion, coma, and in 50 percent of all cases, death. Survivors were often left with permanent liver or brain damage. Desperate, terrorized parents and doctors pursued dramatic, often ineffectual treatments. For over fifteen years, many inconclusive theories were posited as to its causes. The Centers for Disease Control dispatched its Epidemic Intelligence Service to investigate, culminating in a study that suggested a link to aspirin. Congress held hearings at which parents, researchers, and pharmaceutical executives testified. The result was a warning to parents and doctors to avoid pediatric use of aspirin, leading to the widespread substitution of alternative fever and pain reducers. But before a true cause was definitively established, Reye's syndrome simply vanished. A harrowing medical mystery, Keep Out of Reach of Children is the first and only book to chart the history of Reye's syndrome and reveal the confluence of scientific and social forces that determined the public health policy response, for better or for ill. Mark A. Largent , a survivor of Reye's syndrome, is the author of Vaccine: The Debate in Modern America and Breeding Contempt: The History of Coerced Sterilization in the United States. He is a historian of science, Associate Professor in James Madison College at Michigan State University, and Associate Dean in Lyman Briggs College at Michigan State University. He lives in Lansing, Michigan.
