  On November 4, 1979, "student" supporters of the Ayatollah seized the U.S. Embassy with over sixty hostages. Although the Cold War was in full swing, the Iran hostage crisis was a watershed for the United States. 
   
   
   
  Detachment A had been established in Berlin early in the Cold War to harass and delay any Soviet military advance west. This Special unit trained relentlessly for every aspect of unconventional warfare, and was later assigned a second mission of counterterrorism. 
   
   
   
  The plan for Operation Eagle Claw, as it became known, was extremely complex. The first stage was intelligence gathering—no mean feat as most of the CIA's capabilities in the country had been eliminated. With operatives trained in intelligence work, fluent in many languages, and adept at blending in, Det A took on the advanced recon of the targets. Then, when Delta Force admitted that it could only manage the assault of the Embassy, Det A volunteered to rescue the three Americans at the Foreign Ministry. 
   
   
   
  Veteran and historian James Stejskal details Det A's unique and integral role in Operation Eagle Claw, based upon firsthand accounts of the operatives involved.

Throughout the book, the clinician is offered extensive relational and creative strategies to support integrity repair for the adolescent. The developmental impact of various life space contexts are discussed, including parental separation, complex family configuration, grief, adoption, and emerging sexual orientation and gender experience. Therapeutic responses to common creative adjustments are explored including anxiety, school refusal, depression, self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, alcohol and drug use, and sexual trauma. 
   
   
   
  Adolescent Psychotherapy will help counsellors and psychotherapists to develop deeper levels of competency in their work as adolescent psychotherapists, as they navigate the complex and fascinating experience of therapy with teenagers.

  12 Urban Legends: Unveiling the Truth Behind Modern Myths delves into the mysterious and often chilling tales that have woven themselves into the fabric of contemporary culture. Written in the investigative and compelling style reminiscent of Vincent Bugliosi, this book explores twelve of the most enduring urban legends that continue to captivate and unsettle us. 
  Each chapter examines a different legend, from the ghostly Vanishing Hitchhiker on desolate roads to the ominous Slender Man lurking in the shadows of the internet. The book dissects these stories with a critical eye, uncovering their origins, variations, and the psychological underpinnings that make them so persistent. 
  Through meticulous research and engaging narrative, the book reveals how these legends reflect societal fears, moral lessons, and the complexities of human psychology. It delves into real-life events that may have inspired these myths and considers how modern technology and media have amplified their reach. 
  The exploration goes beyond mere storytelling; it invites readers to reflect on why we are drawn to such tales and what they reveal about our collective consciousness. The epilogue ties together the insights gained, offering a profound commentary on the enduring allure of urban legends and their place in our world. 
  12 Urban Legends: Unveiling the Truth Behind Modern Myths is more than a collection of eerie stories; it's a journey into the heart of modern folklore. It challenges readers to look beyond the surface of these legends and consider the deeper truths they convey about fear, belief, and the human condition.
