Urban School Dynamics -...

Dr. Josh J. Mack

In the bustling corridors of urban schools, a narrative has quietly taken root, often painting a monochrome picture of Black student behavior. This narrative, woven from threads of misunderstanding, oversimplification, and occasional bias, rarely captures the complexities and richness of the experiences these students bring into the classroom. "Urban School Dynamics: Understanding Black Student Behavior" delves deep into the intricate mosaic of influences, challenges, and aspirations that shape the actions and choices of Black students in city schools.
The urban educational landscape, with its unique challenges and dynamics, often amplifies the struggles faced by students. Within these walls, Black students, shaped by a myriad of socio-economic, cultural, and personal factors, navigate their educational journey. But why do some of these journeys manifest in ways that are perceived as disruptive or counterproductive? Are these behaviors indicative of deeper systemic issues, unmet needs, or cultural misunderstandings?
This book embarks on an exploratory quest, dismantling stereotypes and debunking myths, while shedding light on the intricate interplay of factors like socio-economic pressures, historical context, cultural values, and personal aspirations. Along the way, I will amplify the voices of Black students, educators, and parents, providing a comprehensive, empathetic, and nuanced understanding of behavior in urban school contexts.
By the end, my hope is that readers will not only gain insights into the dynamics influencing Black student behavior but will also be equipped with knowledge and empathy to foster more inclusive, understanding, and supportive educational environments.

Trauma-Focused Cognitive...

Vivian Westlake

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a structured, evidence-based therapeutic approach designed to help children and adolescents process and recover from trauma. Combining principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy with trauma-sensitive techniques, TF-CBT has been shown to effectively reduce trauma-related symptoms and improve emotional and behavioral functioning in young individuals. This model empowers children and their families to heal from the effects of trauma, fostering resilience and long-term well-being.
Trauma can leave lasting emotional and psychological scars, impacting a child’s development, relationships, and overall quality of life. Experiences such as abuse, neglect, natural disasters, or the loss of a loved one can overwhelm a child’s capacity to cope, leading to anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other challenges. TF-CBT addresses these impacts by providing a safe and supportive framework for children to confront their trauma, reframe their thoughts, and build healthier coping mechanisms.
The TF-CBT model follows a phased approach, beginning with skill-building and stabilization. This phase includes teaching relaxation techniques, emotional regulation skills, and strategies for managing distressing thoughts. Once a foundation of safety and trust is established, therapy transitions to trauma narration and processing. During this phase, children are guided to share and explore their traumatic experiences in a controlled and supportive environment, allowing them to reframe negative beliefs and reduce the power of painful memories. The final phase focuses on integration and resilience, equipping children and their families with tools to maintain progress and foster positive growth.

Descriptions and Prescriptions -...

Michael R. Emlet

OCD, ADHD, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder . . . these are not just diagnoses from the DSM; they are part of our everyday vocabulary and understanding of people. As Christians, how should we think about psychiatric diagnoses and their associated treatments?We can't afford to isolate ourselves and simply dismiss these categories as unbiblical. Nor can we afford to accept the entire secular psychiatric diagnostic and treatment enterprise at face value as though Christian Scripture is irrelevant for these complex mental struggles. Instead, we need a balanced, biblically (and scientifically!) informed approach that is neither too warmly embracing nor too coldly dismissive of psychiatric labels and the psychiatric medications that are often prescribed.Biblical counselor and retired physician, Michael R. Emlet, gives readers a helpful way forward on these important issues as he guides lay and professional helpers in the Christian church through the thicket of mental health diagnoses and treatments in a clear, thoughtful primer in which the Bible informs our understanding of psychiatric diagnoses and the medications that are often recommended based on those labels.This first book in the Helping the Helper series will give readers biblical, gospel-formed categories that will help them understand and minister to those who are struggling with mental health issues.
