Core Principles of Teaching Children How to Teach Themselves to Read: - Effective early reading instruction is based on activities that guide the child from speech to print, from sound to symbol and which move from the concrete to the abstract.- Teach the alphabetic principle before you teach the alphabet.- Letter knowledge and decoding skills are best learned through the child's application of the alphabetic principle using self-guided materials to match speech sounds to printed letters and words.- Freedom to choose activities in the learning environment is key to gradually shifting responsibility for learning to the student.- Freedom to choose individualizes the learning experience for the student, according to his strengths and interests.- Repetition is the healing balm of education. It is the teacher's best teaching tool and the quickest, most direct way for a child to master early literacy skills.- Emphasis must shift from a traditional model of memorization through drill, to a deeper, more permanent learning through self-guided hands-on activities.

Joining two usually distinct areas of psychoanalytic treatment, this volume explores the psychoanalytic theory of object relations and its application to the study of marital and family interaction. Freud's object relations model lends itself well to the study of internalized object relations and external personal relations. Integrating various psychoanalytic approaches as well as contributions of Piagetian scholars, this essay also incorporates general systems theory. The study covers the breakdown of marital relationships, narcissism of partners, separation and individuation of adolescent offspring, role typing, family communication, defense mechanisms, entrapping, and emotional processes. It concludes with a synthesis of marital and family object relations models.Object Relations and the Family Process introduces the reader to the object relations model. It describes the process of acquiring object concepts of both permanence and libidinal strivings. The concept of libidinal object is then defined. An overview of the psychoanalytic theory of object relations is given and the intrapersonal and interpersonal spheres of object relations are described. The remainder of the book is devoted to the author's presentation of his hypothetical model. Both psychoanalysts and therapists will find this model a useful one.
