| ALONE & FORGOTTEN : The Sexually Abused Man [Rod Tobin] In 1992, therapist Rod Tobin began working with male survivors of sexual abuse. Half of the men treated came from the general public; the other half had suffered abuse at boy's training schools. In "Alone and Forgotten", he examines the major symptoms of sexually abused men, and explains how society's perceptions and the survivor's healing process differ from that of their female counterparts. This book offers a positive process of healing for male survivors of sexual abuse. { 92pp, 155x230mm, October 2003; PB, £9.50, 0921165609:9780921165606 , Creative Bound Inc. } |

| CONFLICT IS FOR THE BIRDS!, 2ND EDITION : Understanding Your Conflict Management Style [Gayle Wiebe Oudeh & Nabil Oudeh] In life, love and work, there are times when conflict is inevitable. Yet, for most of us, our negative attitudes toward conflict are deep-seated and long-standing. We may do anything we can to avoid it; we may fear it; at the very least, we have come to expect an unpleasant experience every time we have a conflict -- whether that conflict is with a loved one, a friend, a co-worker or a perfect stranger. Sadly, our negative and fearful responses to conflict can be self-fulfilling -- because we are expecting the worst, that’s often what we experience. In this new edition of their best-selling guide to managing conflict, authors Gayle and Nabil Oudeh share the positive potential of conflict -- potential that derives from making appropriate choices in how we respond to conflict. They reveal five distinct conflict management styles -- the Woodpecker, the Parakeet, the Ostrich, the Owl and the Hummingbird -- and explain the unique strengths and challenges of each. Rich with candour and humour, 'Conflict is for the Birds!' offers a hands-on, solutions-oriented approach to turning conflict into an opportunity for problem-solving and growth. { 176pp, 155x230mm, November 2006; PB, £14.50, 097316462X:9780973164626 , Creative Bound Inc.

| COPS DON'T CRY : A Book of Hope for Police Families [Vali Stone] Policing is a consuming profession with incredibly high elements of stress. Research suggests that police divorce rates are more than double the national average of ordinary marriages. The spouse's fear of physical danger, adjusting to shift work, transfers and changes in the officers' personality are only a few of the contributing factors, but the most crucial problem is the breakdown of communication within the relationship. From the beginning of the officers' careers they are trained to control their emotions, and thus are accused of being cold-hearted. Spouses agree that law enforcement officers grapple with the real-life horrors on the job and that the bitter belief that 'cops don't cry' is sadly untrue. { 234pp, 155x230mm, January 2002; PB, £12.99, 0921165625:9780921165620 , Creative Bound Inc. } |
