Shard is a gryfon in exile from the pride of the Silver Isles.
After learning of the injustices wrought by the Red King he once
served loyally, Shard now seeks to fulfill the promise of the
legendary Summer King, who is destined to bring peace and balance
when he appears. Shard's quest will take him across the sea to the
homeland of the gryfons who conquered the Silver Isles, into a web
of new allies and new enemies, winged and wingless alike. There he
will learn of the fierce enmity that drove the Red King and his
pride from their homeland, and the deadly grudge stretching back
two generations that, if left unfinished, could destroy them all.

Eastern spirituality has exerted considerable influence on the
fields of counseling and psychology through the use of
mindfulness-based practices. This book serves as a practical
introduction to integrating mindfulness-based practices in therapy,
with a focus on assessing whether it is appropriate to use or adapt
mindfulness activities to the specific cultural identity or
identities of clients. Interventions can be adapted to account for
clients' religious/spiritual identity, gender norms, racial/ethnic
background, community values and pressures, personality traits,
unfamiliarity with mindfulness-based practices, cognitive
flexibility, and individual life experiences. The authors present
an approach to integrating mindfulness in therapy that emphasizes
cultural humility, which combines an accurate view of oneself
(including limits in one's awareness, knowledge, and skills for
working with individuals from diverse groups) with the ability to
cultivate an "other-oriented" stance, thus enhancing one's ability
to work with clients from a variety of cultural backgrounds. By
incorporating this client-centered approach, therapists will be
better able to align the therapy process with clients' values,
narratives about change, and therapy goals.
This book describes how therapists can combine multicultural theory
with their own lived experience to meaningfully engage clients in
issues of culture. Many mental health practitioners (MHPs) today
recognize and affirm the importance of cultural background - race,
ethnicity, gender, sexuality - in their clients' lives. But many
MHPs struggle to address cultural issues in practice, whether
because of unfamiliarity, or fear of giving offense, or because the
presence of cultural differences or similarities between client and
therapist that can make it difficult to view the client
objectively. The authors of this book recommend that MHPs focus not
on what they have learned in previous clinical or educational
settings, but on what they don't know about the client who sits
across from them. They discuss practical strategies for engaging
with clients and their cultural identities, including repairing
mistakes that threaten the therapeutic relationship. Through a wide
range of case examples and hands-on exercises, the authors
demonstrate how therapists can learn to acknowledge their
limitations, and view them as opportunities to connect with clients
at a deeper level.
