A Safe Place for Caleb is a comprehensive and richly illustrated
resource for individuals of all ages who are dealing with
attachment problems. Parents, professionals, and lay people will
find this book helpful in understanding and addressing attachment
disorders in children, adolescents, and adults. The first half of
the book is an interactive story that follows the experiences of
Caleb, a young boy who relates his difficulties and frustrations in
forming and sustaining healthy relationships. He learns strategies
for coping with attachment issues during his journey to the Safe
Tree House, where he is introduced to the four "attachment healing
keys". These act as therapeutic tools to unlock difficulties with
attachment, and are presented using text and illustrations that are
easily accessible for readers of all ages, even for young children.
The second half of the book presents a summary of current
scientific thought on attachment styles and disorders, and provides
a wide array of assessment tools, photocopiable material and
healing techniques to address attachment difficulties. Lists of
helpful organizations and relevant reading materials are also
presented. Based on established psychological principles, the book
is a unique and imaginative guide for professionals, parents,
caregivers, and people of all ages who are dealing with attachment
issues.
Many children, especially those with autism-related problems,
struggle with sensory integration. Christian is a 12-year-old who
has suffered from over- and under-sensitivity issues since birth.
Following his experiences as a young child, Chara and Chara relate
Christian's painful reactions to touch and extreme sensitivity to
tempera-ture, noise, taste and texture. Through detection,
diagnosis, therapy and treatment, this book looks at the battles,
frustrations and triumphs familiar to those with (or caring for
those with) sensory integration difficulties. Sensory Smarts offers
real solutions and hope, such as a sensory sensitivity scale, a
behavioral rating chart and a list of helpful organizations. With
much of the book written from the perspective of a child, and
including rich illustrations, this book encourages children to work
with adults in overcoming their sensory difficulties. Based on
mainstream psychological theories, this book will be indispensable
to those suffering from, or trying to raise awareness of, sensory
problems in childhood.
Caleb invites you on a journey to learn about attachment and trauma
in this interactive story and workbook intended for children and
the adults who support them. Caleb shares his own story about
healing from his difficult early experiences, and encourages
readers to join him in sharing their stories and completing the
healing activities included in the book. Caleb's Healing Story
identifies the common challenges that children who have experienced
attachment or trauma issues will encounter and offers easy to use
interventions in the form of activities and worksheets. Fully
illustrated, it is suitable for children aged 5-14, as well as
their family, friends and those working with children who present
with these issues. It is the ideal companion to A Safe Place for
Caleb, by the same author, which outlines theories, definitions and
strategies for addressing attachment and trauma-related disorders.
