Maneuvering the Maze

pokkari
In an effort to add clarity to the rapidly developing field of managed mental health care, Kevin Corcoran and Vikki Vandiver approach the field with expertise and research meant to help mental health professionals meet the needs of both managed mental health care and their clients. As practitioners of every discipline are learning to cope with the ever-shifting world of the managed mental health care system, a variety of demands, restrictions, and procedures from the authorization of treatment to the evaluation of services cloud the practice and deter professionals from utilizing it with their clients. In order to add a sense of uniform and procedure to the field, Corcoran and Vandiver have created a guide to understanding managed mental health care, complete with a variety of tools used by managed care organizations to demonstrate the need for clinical services and the structure of systematic interventions while evaluating the quality of care. Helping practitioners and students in every mental health discipline, Maneuvering the Maze of Managed Care inspires its readers to work effectively, efficiently, and successfully with their clients within the purview of managed mental health care.
Teaching Reading in the Content Areas

History teachers aren't expected to teach science, math teachers aren't expected to teach social studies; so why are all teachers responsible for teaching reading? The answer is simple. An emphasis on reading and literacy skills in the content areas has an exponential effect on learning in every discipline.This completely revised third edition of the best-selling Teaching Reading in the Content Areas seeks to help educators understand how to teach reading in their respective disciplines, choose the best reading strategies from the vast array available, and positively impact student learning. Throughout, it draws from new research on the impact of new technologies, the population boom of English language learners, and the influence of the Common Core State Standards.Given the complexities of the reading process, teachers deserve--and this book provides--clear, research-based answers to overarching questions about teaching reading in the content areas:What specific skills do students need to read effectively in each content area?Which reading strategies are most appropriate to help students become more effective readers and independent learners?What type of learning environment promotes effective reading and learning?By focusing on the differences in how content-area experts read and reason, teachers can be better prepared to help their students understand that the ways they read in biology are different from the ways they read in English, history, or mathematics.To read successfully in different content areas, students must develop discipline-specific skills and strategies along with knowledge of that discipline. With that in mind, this book also includes 40 strategies designed to help students in every grade level and across the content areas develop their vocabularies, comprehend informational and narrative texts, and engage in meaningful discussions of what they read.

A follow-up to Love at First Sight: The Stories and Science Behind Instant Attraction, this new guide entitled Finding Mr. Right: How to Identify Your Soulmate by social scientist Dr. Earl Naumann and Vicki St. John identifies what factors women need to consider when looking for a partner. This academically based study examines the results of a survey of nearly four hundred married women and attempts to identify key factors associated with a woman's happiness in her marriage. The data shows that a woman must first understand herself, her history, and her own tendencies before she sets out to make a match with Mr. Right. For example, some birth orders of men and women lead to happy marriages while others have very low happiness levels. Previous marriages, children, and religion all influence marital happiness. And, of course, a woman's sex life influences her happiness as well. The fact is most of the vital contributing factors to marital bliss can be observed before she gets married-and even before she finds Mr. Right.

This book is a journal of love letters. It's a chronicle of a grieving mother's method to cope with the death of her son, Jai, who died very suddenly and much too young. Reading these pages, I felt like the chair was pulled out from under me several times, because of the depth, vulnerability, love and raw beauty that was being shared. It is a sacred glimpse of something so personal and private, born out of grief, which, blossomed and channeled a love that transcended what was present when Jai was alive. I think the author has cultivated a depth of wisdom that many of us who walk this life, ever grow to experience. This book, for me, was not what you would call a page turner. It's something I could only read in small doses because it stirred up so many layers and heights of emotions. It was a humbling experience for me to have the opportunity to share in a mother's adoring love for her son, departed, who is also my precious, nephew. Vicki Reccasina-Malloy lives in a small town in Iowa with her husband, Ed and cat Sunny. She has been practicing Transcendental Meditation for the past forty-six years.She loves to draw, paint, cook, be out in nature, read, spend time with friends and family especially her daughter, Kelly and pup India. She was involved in the healing arts for ten years until life shifted her focus and direction. She tries to be aware of the bigger picture that life is presenting and to know that inthe end, everything is the way it is meant to be.With a full heart of unending gratitude to Divine Mother and Her continued guidance.
A Tale of Two Biddies

A Tale of Two Biddies

Aging is a gift, not a given-a privilege best enjoyed with open arms and a grateful heart. Through a good dose of humor, balanced with some hard-earned insight, A Tale of Two Biddies encourages women to make the most of the latter seasons of their lives. Throughout the book, readers will hear of the two biddies who inspired the title: one who was kind, tender-hearted, and humble, and the other who was critical, pessimistic, self-centered, and sharp-tongued. As these two women aged and their inhibitions fell away, the true nature of their hearts became increasingly evident to those around them. This gift book takes a light-hearted look at topics such as menopause, feathering the empty nest, and "senior moments." We can't control the aging process, but we do have a choice as to how we're going to face each day. These choices help shape our hearts as well as our lives. In light of aging, we are reminded to choose wisely while we're still young enough to have all of our mental faculties intact!
