I could not ignore the tiny spark of hope that whispered to me that there might be someone with whom I could be vulnerable and real, and that this time they might just not let me down... This is the story of Alexia and her therapist Kim, and their three-year therapy journey to begin Alexia's path to recovery. Written from both perspectives, it is a powerful and revealing account of a therapist-client relationship. Together, the authors show the manifold challenges that adult survivors of childhood abuse have to overcome, and offer insight to all therapists on how relational interventions can pave a way to healing.

Through the years, cemeteries have borne testimony to the vagaries of life and to man's continuing struggle to manipulate the unknown frontier of death. They exist in endless variety, their stones commemorating the dead and reflecting the values of those who mourned them. They are an informative resource for classroom study. This book suggests research strategies and provides additional information for interpreting and understanding cemeteries.
