  Trauma and Stress-Focused...

  This book contains the following three titles: 
  Psychodynamic Therapy - Psychodynamic therapy is an approach to psychological treatment rooted in the ideas and concepts developed by Sigmund Freud and his followers. It emphasizes the importance of unconscious processes and early childhood experiences in shaping an individual's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This therapy aims to bring these unconscious factors into conscious awareness, helping individuals gain insight and resolve internal conflicts that may be contributing to current psychological difficulties. 
  Psychosocial Therapy - Psychosocial therapy is a holistic approach to mental health care that emphasizes the interconnectedness of psychological and social factors in promoting well-being and recovery. Unlike traditional approaches that primarily focus on symptom management through medication or isolated psychotherapy, psychosocial therapy addresses the broader context of an individual’s life. It explores how relationships, community involvement, cultural background, and socioeconomic conditions influence mental health outcomes. 
  Play Therapy - Play is a fundamental aspect of childhood, serving as a natural medium through which children explore the world, express emotions, and develop essential skills. For children facing emotional, social, or psychological challenges, play becomes more than just a recreational activity; it transforms into a powerful tool for healing and growth. Play therapy harnesses the innate creativity and spontaneity of play to address a wide range of difficulties, offering children a safe and supportive environment to work through their struggles.

  The Architecture of Discipline -...

  In the era of the intelligent cloud, architecture must do more than enable systems; it must verify them. The Architecture of Discipline defines how modern enterprises design environments capable of demonstrating their own integrity—continuously and at scale. Drawing on extensive leadership experience in cloud security, Zero Trust, governance, and AI oversight, Lori Higham redefines architecture as a discipline of structure and accountability, where evidence emerges as the natural outcome of design rather than the afterthought of audit. 
  This work moves fluidly between theory and reflection, rhetoric and practice. It invites the reader to question assumptions about control, trust, and automation while offering concrete mechanisms for building systems that remain accurate, accountable, and adaptive as they evolve. Here, architecture becomes both a technical craft and a philosophical inquiry: a dialogue between what is built and what can be proven. 
  Across chapters on governance, Zero Trust, responsible AI, and assurance, The Architecture of Discipline demonstrates how design becomes verification: how standards translate into automation, ethics into operational boundary, and continuity into measurable assurance. Each section balances rigorous conceptual framing with tangible architectural patterns, reinforcing that discipline in design is both method and mindset. 
  More than a manual, this is a conversation with the reader—a call to architects, engineers, and decision-makers to examine not only what they build, but how they sustain fidelity between design and outcome. In intelligent environments, integrity is not assumed; it is demonstrated through evidence. The measure of architecture is its capacity to sustain integrity through change—to analyze, constrain, and reveal the systems it governs faster than risk can erode them.

  Gestalt Therapy - Living in the...

  Gestalt therapy is a unique and experiential approach to psychotherapy that emphasizes the importance of the present moment, self-awareness, and personal responsibility. Rooted in the humanistic tradition, it focuses on the client’s lived experience, encouraging them to become more conscious of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Central to Gestalt therapy is the belief that individuals are best understood within the context of their environment and relationships, which helps them to recognize the interconnectedness of all aspects of their experience. Through this holistic perspective, Gestalt therapy aims to help individuals gain insight, resolve inner conflicts, and achieve personal growth. 
  One of the foundational philosophies of Gestalt therapy is the concept of "here and now" awareness. The therapy emphasizes the importance of the present moment, encouraging clients to focus on what is happening in the current moment rather than becoming preoccupied with past events or future anxieties. By exploring their immediate thoughts, feelings, and sensations, clients are able to increase their awareness of themselves and their behavior patterns. This heightened awareness allows them to make more conscious choices and break free from unconscious habits or unresolved issues. The emphasis on the "here and now" fosters a sense of immediacy and engagement, creating a dynamic therapeutic experience that is focused on active interaction between the therapist and the client.

  Westover, a girls' high school in Middlebury, Connecticut, has evolved from a finishing school for the Protestant elite, including F. Scott Fitzgerald's first love, to a meritocracy for pupils of many religions and races from all around the world. The fascinating account of the ups and downs of this female community is the subject of Laurie Lisle's well-researched and beautifully illustrated book. It tells an important story about female education during decades of dramatic social change in America. 
  This school for girls was founded in 1909 by emancipated New Women. The author describes the innovations of the idealistic minister's daughter who founded the school, her intellectual successor who turned it into a college preparatory school in the 1930s, the quiet headmaster who struggled to keep it open during the turbulent 1970s, and the prize-winning mathematics teacher, wife, and mother who then lead the school into a new era.

  If you have experienced trauma in your life—particularly childhood trauma—and also struggle with addiction, you should know that you are not alone. Emotions that surface after trauma can include anger, fear, sadness, helplessness, and shame. These emotions can lead to low self-esteem, poor impulse control, and set you up for developing addictive behaviors. That's why acknowledging and working through these feelings is essential to healing from substance use. But where do you start? 
   
   
   
  Written by an addiction specialist, this trauma-informed workbook offers evidence-based tools grounded in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and harm reduction to help you heal the pain at the root of your addiction, improve your communication skills, make positive changes, gain self-control, and boost resilience to find lasting recovery. 
   
   
   
  You'll also discover skills to help you: 
   
   
   
  ● Increase self-awareness and assertiveness 
   
   
   
  ● Work through difficult emotions 
   
   
   
  ● Create your own plan for recovery
