A 12-year-old boy vows he will never do to his future family what
his father did by leaving the boy, his sister and mother. Yet, 30
years later, the boy now a man leaves his own family. A young woman
who's broken off an abusive relationship is now attracted to the
same kind of personality in a potential boyfriend. And an attorney
who grew up with an impossible-to-please father takes a job in a
firm where the boss thinks praise is never productive. These are
the kind of repetitive cycles that Stanley Rosner has seen time and
again in his practice across 40 years as a clinical psychologist. A
past president of the Connecticut Psychological Association, Rosner
examines in this book whether there is for some people a compulsion
to repeat self-destructive acts, and what the foundation for that
compulsion might be, as well as how it can be changed to afford
better, happier living. Assisted by popular author Patricia Hermes,
Rosner offers many eye-opening vignettes from his therapy rooms,
showing us clearly how early life events can create unconscious
dilemmas that move us to repeat the situation in other forms. He
aims to show us how we can resolve the issues that linger,
explaining how to recognize these issues, then move forward to put
them to rest in ways that are not self-sabotaging. "What I have to
offer," says Rosner, "is the opportunity for change."
Emma tries to keep her favorite nanny from going on vacation
In May 1607, three ships sailed up the James River in Virginia. In
the riverbank marshes, they made land and hung the flag --
England's flag -- establishing the first permanent English colony
in Jamestown, Virginia. In 1609, the first ship carrying women and
children arrived.
After 71 days at sea, nine-year-old Elizabeth Barker is thrilled
to be on dry land. Lizzie keeps a journal for Caleb, her twin
brother who stayed in England because of his weak lungs. In her
buoyant entries, Lizzie tells of the abundant forests, trading with
and learning from the Indians, and adventures with her new
friends.
