  One night in 2009, Tanya Frank finds her nineteen-year-old son, Zach—gentle and full of promise—in the grip of what the psychiatrists would label a psychotic break. Suddenly and inexplicably, Tanya is thrown into a parallel universe: Zach's world, where the phones are bugged, his friends have joined the Mafia, and helicopters are spying on his family. 
   
   
   
  In the years following Zach's shifting psychiatric diagnoses, Tanya goes to war for her son, desperate to find the right answer, the right drug, the right doctor to bring him back to reality. Meanwhile, the boy she raised—the chatty, precocious dog-lover, the teenager who spent summers surfing with his big brother, the UCLA student—suffers the effects of multiple hospitalizations, powerful drugs that blunt his emotions, therapies that don't work, and torturous nights on the streets. Holding on to startling moments of hope and seeking solace in nature and community, Tanya learns how to abandon her fears for the future and accept the mysteries of her son’s altered states. 
   
   
   
  With tenderness, lyricism, and generous candor, this compelling story conveys the power of a mother's love. Zig-Zag Boy is both a moving lamentation for things lost and a brave testament to the people we become in difficult circumstances.

  Marginalized Couples in Therapy...

  BIPOC and LGBTQI relationships have unique needs because minority stress, racialized trauma, and transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia can compromise one's ability to feel safe enough to connect to the world and others. Yet, all too often, marginalized couples are let down by conventional therapeutic models which were designed for white, cisgendered, heterosexual clients. 
   
  This book puts forth an innovative therapeutic approach specifically designed for working with the impact of systemic oppression in couples therapy. Divided into three parts, therapists will explore systemic trauma, discover ways to build transformative therapeutic postures via the BIOME and PRIDE models, and make use of actionable methods to support clients. By practicing critical consciousness, prioritizing the lived experiences of clients, and moving delicately through the imbalance of power inherent in the therapeutic relationship, clinicians will gain a better understanding of their clients' intimate relationship experiences, and how best to serve them. 
   
  Practitioners are invited to become active agents of change, making this not only a practical guide but also a call to action for fostering a more just and equitable world in which intimacy flourishes for all.

  PIXAR 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Pixar Animation Studios, originally The Graphics Group at Lucasfilm, was co-founded by Edwin Catmull and Alvy Ray Smith. It became an independent company in 1986 with investment from Steve Jobs. Pixar is known for its groundbreaking computer-animated feature films, starting with Toy Story (1995). The studio pioneered RenderMan, its own rendering software. Pixar developed the "Braintrust," a creative process with candid feedback. After disagreements with Disney, Pixar was acquired by them in 2006, making Jobs a major Disney shareholder. Pixar's films have achieved both critical and financial success, including Inside Out 2 (2024) as the highest-grossing Pixar film. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Pixar's origins trace back to 1974 when Alexander Schure established the Computer Graphics Lab at the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT), aiming to create the world’s first computer-animated film. This lab laid the foundation for many of the CG techniques that Pixar would later utilize. 
    
  The group from NYIT, including Edwin Catmull and Alvy Ray Smith, moved to Lucasfilm in 1979, forming the Graphics Group which was one-third of Lucasfilm's Computer Division. They worked on creating the precursor to RenderMan, called REYES. 
    
  The name "Pixar" came about during a brainstorming session for a new digital compositing computer, initially suggested as "Picture Maker". Smith proposed "Pixer" which then evolved to "Pixar". 
    
  In February 1986, Pixar was spun off as a corporation with funding from Steve Jobs, who invested $5 million and became the majority shareholder. This happened because the employees were worried that the group would be sold off in Lucas's divorce.
