Abstract

Recognising, expressing and understanding emotions helps young children make sense of their life experiences. Children diagnosed with autism can have significant difficulties with recognising and processing emotions which can lead to high levels of anxiety as they struggle to make sense of the unpredictable world around them.

The 'Fun with Feelings' programme is designed to help parents support their children with emotional regulation and to decrease anxiety. This guide is structured around 10 stages. The initial four stages prepare parents to implement the programme with their child. These stages help parents understand the causes of anxiety and provide practical strategies for creating a toolbox to reduce anxiety. The final six stages are used in conjunction with Having Fun with Feelings on the Autism Spectrum: A CBT Activity Book for Kids Age 4-8, allowing parents to support their child while working through the activity book.

Written by world-leading experts in the field, 10 Steps to Reducing Your Child's Anxiety on the Autism Spectrum provides the steppingstones for parents of young children with autism to better understand their child's emotional skill set and empower them to understand and articulate their feelings.

Caregivers for a Dying Loved One

Abstract

Every parent wants the same thing: for their child to enjoy a long and fulfilling life. But what happens when things don't go according to plan? What happens when parents have to become advocates for their child's healthcare needs? Who decides what is in a child's 'best interests'?

Stephanie Nimmo faced these questions first-hand when her daughter, Daisy, was diagnosed with a life-limiting condition as a baby. Seen through the lens of Stephanie's own experiences, this sensitive book delves into the complex world of medical ethics and pediatric palliative care. From recognizing tipping points to the importance of building relationships with palliative care teams well before crisis, this book explores how medical professionals can better support families throughout their child's care.

Interviews with clinicians and snapshots from the lives of patients' families provide insight into the realities of life on both sides of the hospital bed. Compassionate explanations of the conflicting pressures in the hospital system foster understanding and help medical professionals and families work together.

Survivors of Suicide

Children and Grief

Grief. Bereavement

Abstract

Tells the story, from the perspective of an eleven-year-old boy, Alex, and his family, as they are rocked by suicide and reeling from the aftermath. Through Alex?s eyes, the reader will see the transformation of feelings after going through a suicide.

New to the third edition, each chapter ends with Alex reflecting 10 years later on his experience, introducing family and friends in his recollections. *Barbara Rubel has combined modern academic theories of grieving and then translated them into a readable story. The revised edition is an evidence-informed and contemporary treatment of a devastating form of loss that uses a hypothetical case study to render it in human terms. Through the story, the reader understands what suicide might be like for a family, how to make meaning in the loss, and ways to experience personal growth. *This self-help book was revised to provide guidance for clinicians (e.g., mental health providers, social workers, psychologists, school counselors, case managers) and families to help suicide loss survivors.

Part 1 offers a basic understanding of suicide postvention, suicide loss survivors, complicated grief, mourning theories, and the impact on clinician survivors. Chapters have been updated, based on mourning models and the latest research.

The chapters in Part 2 build upon one another sequentially, from the day of the suicide to the anniversary. At the end of each chapter, there are follow-up questions to explore in counseling sessions, support groups, therapy sessions, or at home. Also, at the end of each chapter, Alex, at the age of 21, reflects back on how his father?s death has changed his life, wounding him, but also helping him to grow.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (includes Asperger Syndrome)

Abstract

One morning, at dawn, the Curiosities choose Miro to nest on. At first, he doesn't notice. They blend in, perching on his shoulder and nuzzling into his hair. Over time, Miro discovers that he sees and feels things differently than everyone else around him. The Curiosities show Miro an extraordinary world. He weaves clouds to make stories for the wind, and marvels at the wonders waiting in the shadows where no one else looks. Sometimes, though, the Curiosities make Miro feel lost and alone: they shriek and roar, and are so bright and overwhelming that he feels invisible. But perhaps Miro isn't as alone as he thinks... and maybe the Curiosities have chosen other people as well.

Osteogenesis Imperfecta

Abstract

Ashling has broken her bones one hundred times. She was born with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a rare bone disorder, which makes her bones very fragile and brittle. Because of her condition, Ashling is in chronic pain and is often hospitalized.

Sixteen-year-old Ashling witnesses her eight-year-old sister, Skylar, fall and break her leg during ski practice. For the first time, Skylar experiences what Ashling goes through on a regular basis. Ashling helps Skylar deal with her pain the same way she usually does: by using her dream machine, a machine that conjures up stories of imaginary worlds to distract her from pain.

"Skylar: the rainbow seeker" is a riveting tale of rainbows, a talking mole, a wily fox and a sport-shoe crazed leprechaun, through which Ashling not only distracts her sister but also cleverly reveals a sad truth: because of her injury, Skylar will be unable to ski for the rest of the season nor accept a sponsorship from one of the biggest alpine ski companies to participate in an exclusive summer ski camp.

Eating Disorders

Abstract

The book illustrates how parents who are participating in family-based treatment (FBT) for their child's eating disorder (ED) may enhance their chances of achieving optimal outcomes for their child by more successfully navigating the challenges that often impede progress in treatment and recovery. The stance of the book is transdiagnostic, so that the information provided spans all ED diagnoses including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, and atypical ED presentations as well as conditions that fall outside current diagnostic criteria. This book helps parents to identify how they can make the most of FBT therapy no matter which ED symptoms their child experiences. Case vignettes across the diagnostic and clinical spectrum are used throughout the book, not only to illustrate examples of some specific challenges families face, but to help parents normalize the emotions they may feel around their experience of trying to help their child and around their experience of participating in the FBT intervention itself.
