Once we confront our own mortality, Dr. Yalom writes, we are inspired to rearrange our priorities, communicate more deeply with those we love, appreciate more keenly the beauty of life, and increase our willingness to take the risks necessary for personal fulfillment.

Why would anyone write a book about suffering? Earnest in her pursuit, Dr. Jennifer Clark draws upon her near 25 years of practice as a Hospice and Palliative Medicine physician to convince us otherwise. Clark adeptly navigates the ups and downs, the twists and turns, and the pitfalls and plateaus of human development, asking us to reimagine the pilgrimage of the human condition.

With suffering as her compass, Clark takes us on a journey through the difficult terrains of fear and shame, ignorance and judgement, isolation and longing. In doing so, we are given a choice to see these painful experiences differently. Vital to human development, these sufferings reveal the direction we must take to progress through the milestones of dependence, independence, interdependence and transcendence.

In its timely publication, Suffer. offers insight to the possibility of a self-actualized life in this post-pandemic world. Using a modernized version of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Clark flips the paradigm of suffering on its head. Guiding us through lands where storytelling meets science and mystery embraces material, Clark empowers and encourage us to Suffer. Suffer, well.

Highlighting the ways in which developmental theories are applicable to contemporary life, the text uses case studies to demonstrate how clinicians can use their knowledge of development to support client growth, the expertise of multidisciplinary health professionals to highlight different developmental theories and approaches, and analyzes foundational theories against a backdrop of current research that factors in contextual and cultural dimensions. These include a focus on racial and social inequality, social media, children with special needs, persons with disabilities, poverty, and development in time of pandemic. Chapters are organized by lifespan development phases and begin with a case study emphasizing cultural and contextual considerations followed by relevant theories and models to conceptualize the particular phase.

In a society that values independence, self-preservation and individualistic thinking, we are missing the key to fulfillment: Connection through Attachment.

Simply, attachment is the way that we connect to each other. Without attachment, people feel alone to deal with challenges they face, which leads to distress, dysfunction and mental health disorders. It is possible to repair dysfunctional attachment, but first it is necessary to recognize attachment style, unhealthy relationship patterns, and the impact they are having.

Improve your client's relationships by teaching them strategies to feel more connected, reestablish trust, and restore positive emotions. Dr. Christina Reese, a recognized attachment and trauma professional, has created a comprehensive guide that explains attachment over a lifetime, and offers trauma-informed approaches to treat attachment at any age.

• Clinical examples, handouts and worksheets to use with clients of all ages
• Recognize attachment styles
• Identify key symptoms of attachment difficulties and their inception
• Interventions that repair attachment traumas to heal stress, shame, and anxiety
• Techniques to help clients improve their relationships (children, parents, friends, and significant others)

When psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman first discovered Maslow's unfinished theory of transcendence, sprinkled throughout a cache of unpublished journals, lectures, and essays, he felt a deep resonance with his own work and life. In this groundbreaking book, Kaufman picks up where Maslow left off, unraveling the mysteries of his unfinished theory, and integrating these ideas with the latest research on attachment, connection, creativity, love, purpose and other building blocks of a life well lived.

Kaufman's new hierarchy of needs provides a roadmap for finding purpose and fulfillment--not by striving for money, success, or happiness, but by becoming the best version of ourselves, or what Maslow called self-actualization. While self-actualization is often thought of as a purely individual pursuit, Maslow believed that the full realization of potential requires a merging between self and the world. We don't have to choose either self-development or self-sacrifice, but at the highest level of human potential we show a deep integration of both. Transcend reveals this level of human potential that connects us not only to our highest creative potential, but also to one another.

With never-before-published insights and new research findings, along with exercises and opportunities to gain insight into your own unique personality, this empowering book is a manual for self-analysis and nurturing a deeper connection not only with our highest potential but also with the rest of humanity.

Life Span Motor Development helps students understand how maturational age and chronological age are distinct and how functional constraints affect motor skill development and learning.

Students and practitioners across a variety of professions based on the development and refinement of effective movement--including coaches, sport scientists, physical educators, physical therapists, and trainers--will appreciate the applied focus of Sport Skill Acquisition. The text champions the connection of research to direct application using a practice termed professional judgment and decision making (PJDM), or the it depends approach, which stresses the need to carefully consider and apply the best strategy for each particular context.

Organized into four parts, Sport Skill Acquisition begins by considering the three theoretical approaches to skill acquisition. It goes on to explore how these different approaches can be used separately or in a blended form, before considering the wider ramifications of an integrated approach. Then the mental, organizational, planning, and social aspects of skill are discussed, along with practical guidance on how skill can best be planned for, developed, executed, and integrated.

Throughout the book, learning features guide readers through the content. Chapter objectives direct readers on their learning path and ensure they focus on key concepts, while chapter summaries offer a concise wrap-up of the material presented. Review questions and key terms support understanding and knowledge. Case studies and practical questions offer real-life situations that support critical thinking.

For those looking to improve their work with performers, Sport Skill Acquisition provides a road map for choosing the best approach for each unique situation to develop skills for optimal sport performance.

After tracking the lives of thousands of people from birth to midlife, four of the world's preeminent psychologists reveal what they have learned about how humans develop.

Does temperament in childhood predict adult personality? What role do parents play in shaping how a child matures? Is day care bad--or good--for children? Does adolescent delinquency forecast a life of crime? Do genes influence success in life? Is health in adulthood shaped by childhood experiences? In search of answers to these and similar questions, four leading psychologists have spent their careers studying thousands of people, observing them as they've grown up and grown older. The result is unprecedented insight into what makes each of us who we are.

In The Origins of You, Jay Belsky, Avshalom Caspi, Terrie Moffitt, and Richie Poulton share what they have learned about childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, about genes and parenting, and about vulnerability, resilience, and success. The evidence shows that human development is not subject to ironclad laws but instead is a matter of possibilities and probabilities--multiple forces that together determine the direction a life will take. A child's early years do predict who they will become later in life, but they do so imperfectly. For example, genes and troubled families both play a role in violent male behavior, and, though health and heredity sometimes go hand in hand, childhood adversity and severe bullying in adolescence can affect even physical well-being in midlife.

Painstaking and revelatory, the discoveries in The Origins of You promise to help schools, parents, and all people foster well-being and ameliorate or prevent developmental problems.

It is a courageous book about autonomy and nonconformism, about personal development and deep-seated empathy, as well as about the driving force of emotions and the importance of the search itself. It is a positive story that can reveal, for many, that the intense life they have lived was nothing but a process of becoming who they can truly be. Does your intensity scare others away? Do you know deep emotional darkness as well as peak experiences? Do you often feel like an outcast? Then the theory of Positive Disintegration by the almost forgotten Polish psychiatrist Kazimierz Dabrowski is the gamechanger you need. Crash Baby Crash is an eye opener, the ideal introduction to the ideas of Dabrowski. Chris Van Camp focuses on the tools the 21st-century reader can use to begin a self-examination. century reader can use to begin a long journey of self-examination.

In Love at Goon Park, Pulitzer Prize-winner Deborah Blum charts a profound cultural shift from how doctors discouraged parents from touching their children to when that belief was overturned, and in doing so proved the emotional and intellectual benefits of touch. Through studying neglect and its life-altering consequences on primates in his lab, Harry Harlow confirmed love's central role in shaping not only how we feel but also how we think. The story of an evolution of both a man and an idea, Love at Goon Park ultimately invites us to examine ourselves and the way we love.

In this second of a three-book series, Dorothy Husen gives readers a plan of action to stop the march of transgenerational trauma through their family, heal the emotional issues that keep them stuck, and free themselves to live the life they want to live-the one they were meant to live. Using a process that combines re-parenting therapy with mind-body techniques-a process Husen herself designed and uses successfully in her therapy practice-readers learn to expose and then repair misbeliefs formed in childhood that continue to rule their thinking and obstruct their progress in life. Chapter by chapter, step by step, readers will discover how to set their life on a course of radical self-acceptance and self-love that allows them to live life with curiosity and for the adventure it is.

Dorothy Husen is a marriage and family therapist who works and resides in Riverside, California. A companion video course to this book series, Re-Parent Yourself, is available for purchase on her website, www.dorothyhusen.com.
