She tells her personal story in conjunction with case examples drawn directly from her years of practice as a family therapist.

Every teenager rebels against authority at some point--talks back, breaks curfew, or disobeys. But literally millions of teens take their rebellion to a point where it disrupts their families and endangers their own futures or even their lives. If one of these teens is yours, you've probably lived through years of conflicting advice and pat solutions that don't last. Finally, this breakthrough guide from a master therapist will show you the seven steps to positive, permanent change for you and your teenager:

1. Learn the real reasons for teen misbehavior.
2. Make an ironclad contract to stop that behavior.
3. Troubleshoot future problems.
4. End button-pushing.
5. Stop the "seven aces" -- from disrespect to threats of violence.
6. Mobilize outside help.
7. Reclaim lost love within the family.

Clear, compassionate, and packed with real-life solutions to real-life problems, this book gives parents the tools they need to turn their families' lives around for good.

Se explica que para la salud humana la satisfacci n de ""Las Hambres B sicas"" de Caricias, Tiempo y Reconocimiento es tan importante como la ingesta de alimentos, ox geno y agua. Comprenderemos qu son las Endorfinas -la droga de salud, la alegr a, el bienestar y el bienhacer. Conoceremos variadas formas de producirlas en nuestro organismo, pero ante todo la que nos proporciona las cinco ganancias m s codiciadas: envejecer despacio, mantener un sistema inmunol gico invencible, disponer de una gran energ a, vivir alegremente, y poder superar cualquier dolor f sico o corporal. Esta forma nica es la pr ctica de las Virtudes: Prudencia, Justicia, Fortaleza, Templanza, Fe, Esperanza y Caridad. Queda demostrado que para educar a nuestros hijos en la Virtud, la receta no consiste en ""hacer que ellos hagan lo que creemos que ellos deben hacer"," ni mucho menos en lograr que ""ellos hagan lo que los padres queremos"," sino algo muy distinto: que dentro de un "Sistema Incondicional" de Caricias, Tiempo y Reconocimiento, les hagamos vivir la fuerza de nuestro Amor, para que ""ellos quieran hacer habitualmente lo que conviene al Bien Com n y al Bien Integral"" de todos los involucrados en el proceso educativo. Para esto hace falta desarrollar un Liderazgo Transformador: s lo quien se siente amado puede ser educado. Se propone el justo medio entre los dos extremos en pugna: ni moralismo r gido, ni naturalismo hedonista o utilitario, sino del equilibrio entre esos dos extremos. Como estrategias auxiliares se plantea lo que es la Reingenier a de Valores y Virtudes, se analizan las Bases Filos ficas para Jerarquizar los Valores Operantes, Reales; y se propone la sana jerarqu a de los Nueve Valores Universales, as como el rechazo de los Contravalores. El libro concluye con una explicaci n apasionante: Qui n Soy Yo? A la vez que se exponen los Fundamentos Filos ficos de la Dignidad de la Persona.

Elena Murzello cannot imagine going to the grocery store without a list. As she strolls through the aisles, she relies on her list to make sure she gets her must-haves and to help keep her from grabbing items she does not need. It was with this theory in mind that, at age twenty-one, she created a list of characteristics for a potential lifelong mate that still guides her love choices to this day.

In "The Love List," Elena shares her real- life experiences as well as information gathered from more than a hundred single, divorced, and married men and women about the qualities they look for in a life partner. Abstracting details from her interviews she created a process that anyone can use to create his or her own lists. Along with introspective questions to ponder, Elena includes sample lists of characteristics, the top three traits both men and women seek in a partner, an exploration of different types of relationships, and ways to diversify a portfolio of suitors.

"The Love List" provides practical tips and personal stories to encourage single people to look deep within, take risks, and learn to rely on their own unique lists while searching for the perfect mate.
