Abstract

The Award-Winning Building Social Relationships (BSR) Book is Back and Better than Ever!

BSR-3 is a treasure trove of information and resources. The book contains over 40 instructional strategies, and the appendices alone contain over 50 pages of practical materials, including session plans and assessment tools. BSR-3 also includes a revised version of the Autism Social Skills Profile (ASSP-2), a progress monitoring instrument designed to measure social competence in youth with autism. BSR-3 also contains information on the manualized version of the BSR program and the newly developed ASSP-2 scoring guide to assist with implementation, scoring, and interpretation of the instrument

The BSR program was created to address the need for effective social skills programming. The BSR program is a systematic social skills program that addresses both social-cognitive processing and social skill performance. The BSR-3 book provides readers with a conceptual framework that will improve their understanding of social functioning in youth with autism and other social challenges. The book will teach readers how to assess and teach social skills and activate social-cognitive processing in both children and adolescents.

Many parents are tremendously concerned about their child's social functioning and their future quality of life. They see their children struggling to build and maintain social relationships and experiencing peer failure, rejection, and relentless bullying on a regular basis. Most importantly, they see their children dealing with intense social anxiety, depression, and social isolation. Unfortunately, social skill interventions are often designed merely as a reaction to problem behaviors. This often results in parents and practitioners "chasing" problem behaviors while failing to systematically teach social skills. Now, more than ever, our field and, more importantly, our children are in desperate need of effective social skills programing. BSR-3 will guide readers on the path to better social skills programming and improved social outcomes for youth with autism and other social challenges.

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.

The award-winning team who brought us My Brother Charlie present a companion book that celebrates the power of water for those who have autism.

Like many kids on the autism spectrum, Charlie finds solace and empowerment in pools, ponds, sprinklers, visiting the aquarium, and swimming in the ocean. Through his adventures and discoveries, he shows the world that even though he has autism, autism doesn't have him.

HIV/AIDS

Abstract

Collective Care provides an ethnographic account of urban Indigenous life and caregiving practices in the face of Saskatchewan's HIV epidemic. Based on a five-year study conducted in partnership with AIDS Saskatoon, the book focuses on the contrast between Indigenous values of collective kin-care and non-Indigenous models of intensive maternal care. It explores how women and men negotiate the forces of HIV to render motherhood a site of cultural meaning, personal and collective well-being, and, sometimes, individual and community despair. It also introduces readers to how HIV is Indigenized in western Canada and how all HIV-affected and -infected mothers must negotiate this cultural and racialized terrain. Featuring in-depth narrative interviews, notes from participant observation in AIDS Saskatoon's drop-in centre, and a photovoice component, this book offers an accessible account of an engaged anthropologist's work with a community that is both vulnerable and resilient. Each chapter begins with an ethnographic vignette that introduces central concepts, including medical anthropology, syndemics, kinship, and Indigeneity, with the overall aim of humanizing those affected by HIV in western Canada and beyond.
