Sinopse

White House Pets explores the intriguing history of animals residing in the Executive Branch and their impact on U.S. Presidents. Far from mere companions, these pets have offered emotional support, shaped public perception, and even served as subtle political tools. The book demonstrates how presidential pets, from FDR's Scottish Terrier Fala to the Kennedy's diverse animal family, have influenced both the private lives and public images of American leaders. It highlights the deep connection between humans and animals, showcasing how this bond manifests within the unique context of the White House.

 
The book progresses chronologically, examining presidential pets across different eras. It analyzes their roles as confidantes and stress relievers during times of immense pressure. It also investigates how these animals have been strategically used to humanize presidents and bolster their popularity. Drawing from historical archives, personal letters, and public opinion polls, White House Pets provides a nuanced understanding of the presidency, revealing the personal side of leadership and the surprising power of animal companionship in political history.

    A concise history of the goddess-like figures who evade both Christian and pagan traditions, from the medieval period to the present day 
     
     
     
    In this riveting account, renowned scholar Ronald Hutton explores the history of deity-like figures in Christian Europe. Drawing on anthropology, archaeology, literature, and history, Hutton shows how hags, witches, the fairy queen, and the Green Man all came to be, and how they changed over the centuries. 
     
     
      
    Looking closely at four main figures—Mother Earth, the Fairy Queen, the Mistress of the Night, and the Old Woman of Gaelic tradition—Hutton challenges decades of debate around the female figures who have long been thought versions of pre-Christian goddesses. He makes the compelling case that these goddess figures found in the European imagination did not descend from the pre-Christian ancient world, yet have nothing Christian about them. It was in fact nineteenth-century scholars who attempted to establish the narrative of pagan survival that persists today.

    From self-help to medication, therapy, and cognitive neuroscience, this book traces the uses and limits of psychology. Offering a systematic exploration of the ways in which psychology is used in contemporary society, it refines our understanding of the extent of the field. In addition to conceptual analysis of how science, truth, biology, mind, and meaning intersect and interact in the mind sciences, A Suspicious Science draws from history and anthropology to articulate an interdisciplinary multi-level form of psychology that may serve to orient the field. The book synthesizes debates in psychology and philosophy concerning methodology and the nature of explanation with debates about its practical context as a human science. Ultimately, it suggests psychology provides us myths and rituals that ground a particular sense of meaning and motivation in our lives. By aligning cultural, emotional, and philosophical uses of psychology, this book clarifies a synoptic, humanistic model of the mind within the human sciences.

    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 acceptance and commitment therapy (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. 
     
     
     
    Written by an experienced educational and developmental psychologist, 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 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.
