Summary

In our daily lives, the rule of law matters more than anything and yet remains an invisible presence. We trust in the rule of law to protect us from governmental overreach, mafia godfathers, or the will of the majority. We take the rule of law for granted, often failing to recognize its demise—until it is too late. For under attack it is, not only in the growing number of authoritarian countries around the world but in Europe, too.

As a citizen’s guide, this book explains in plain language what the rule of law is, why it matters, and why we have to defend it. The starting point is to ask why EU efforts to promote the rule of law in candidate countries have succeeded or failed, and what this tells us about what is happening inside the EU. The authors move on to suggest ways of strengthening the rule of law in Europe and beyond. This book is a call to action in defense of the most precious human invention of all time.

    This book offers a guided meditation journey to help people recovering from addiction and trauma. The book includes a variety of meditations to help with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. 
    Meditation can be defined as a practice where an individual uses a technique – such as mindfulness, body scan or breathing – to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm state. 
    Addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences. It is considered a brain disease because drugs change the brain—they change its structure and how it works. These changes can be long-lasting and can lead to the harmful behaviors seen in people who abuse drugs. 
    Trauma is defined as a deeply distressing or disturbing experience. It can occur when someone experiences an event that threatens their life or safety, or that of someone close to them. Trauma can also occur when someone witnesses or is confronted with events that threaten the physical integrity of others. 
    When it comes to addiction, trauma and recovery, meditation can be a powerful tool. This guided meditation journey can help you to let go of the past, heal your wounds and find inner peace. The first step is to sit in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths and allow yourself to relax. Once you are relaxed, begin to visualise a safe place. It can be anywhere that makes you feel calm and peaceful. Allow yourself to sink into the peacefulness of this place. Breathe in the tranquil energy and feel it flow through your body. Feel your muscles relax and any tension melting away. Now, imagine that you are surrounded by a white light. This light is filled with love, compassion and healing energy. Allow this light to wash over you, filling you with its positive force.  
    This is an example of how we will help you with your challenges.

    Building the Bonds of Attachment is the third edition of a critically acclaimed book for social workers, therapists, and parents who strive to assist children with reactive attachment disorder. This work is a composite case study of the developmental course of one child following years of abuse and neglect. Building the Bonds of Attachment focuses on both the specialized psychotherapy and parenting that is often necessary in facilitating a child's psychological development and attachment security. It develops a model for intervention by blending attachment theory and research, trauma theory, and the general principles of parenting, together with child and family therapy. This book is a practical guide for the adult—whether professional or parent—who endeavors to help such children. 
    The third edition of this widely popular book will present the many recent changes in the intervention model. These include changes in both the psychotherapist's and parent's interventions. The attachment history of the adults is made more relevant. There is greater congruence between attachment theory and research and the interventions being demonstrated as well as greater reference to this theory and research.
