| Tibbs the Meditation Cat: Mindfulness for Kids | |
|
by Patrizia Collard (Author), Philippa King
(Illustrator), Max Eames (Foreword), 2016 There’s a strong sense that mindfulness might also contribute meaningfully to young people’s wellbeing, resilience and character-development. In addition to assisting with the acquisition of a number of skills and capabilities, it’s considered that mindfulness might also serve to raise educational standards. So, what exactly is it that has caused so many of us – even all-party government committees – to stand up and take notice? After all, mindfulness can be a big word – and a big concept – for many of us to take to heart. With kids, especially younger kids, it’s enough to say that mindfulness is about awareness. It’s nothing more than noticing our present-moment feelings, our thoughts, and how our body feels. Even more exciting, pretty much anybody can learn its basic principles. It’s not the least bit necessary to know one jot about the historical developments and the links to meditation – or to study the emerging body of research that seeks to explain the ‘science’ behind the timeless principle of mindful awareness.
With regular and shorts bursts of practice,
you’ll find that ‘being mindful’ amounts to a set of simple techniques
that soon become second nature. Eventually it’s easy to go back to that
‘place’ of focus – and kids of all ages (maybe you include yourself in
this category) can learn to do this entirely of their own accord, just
like Tibbs the Meditation Cat! |

Her methodology in achieving those goals is aptly presented in her ‘trilogy’: Dance of Life CD ... Counselling Psychology Quarterly, Volume 16, Number 1 March 2003, BrunnerRoutledge, UK (copyright) |

| Review of "MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING Preparing People to Change Addictive Behaviour" by: W.R. Miller & S. Rollnick, The Guildford Press, New York, London, 1991 | |
| When I was
initially introduced to the subject, I immediately felt that Motivational
Interviewing was an approach I would like to incorporate in my counselling
skills. I felt very strongly that here was an alternative to the
traditional approach in dealing with addiction, an approach that attempted
to reinstate a person's lost self-esteem and self-control. In my work as a
counsellor for clients with anxiety and compulsive-obsessive disorder, I
constantly strive to facilitate people in taking back control over their
own lives, and so this notion is one of the essential goals in my work.

| Women's Perspectives and HIV | |
| Introduction: In 1994 the WHO estimated that 14 million people were currently infected with the human immunodeficiency virus worldwide. Over three million of these were women, and one half of all newly-infected people are female (Shepherd, 1994). Despite their lower number, the rate of increase in new AIDS cases is higher among women than among men (Finnegan, 1993). Women's social vulnerability exposes them to HIV infection in many ways. Often they are sexually subordinate to their partners, and find it difficult to protect themselves from infection, even when they know they are at risk. read on |

| Review of "Understanding the Nature of Autism", A practical guide, by Janice E. Janzen, M.S. San Antonio, Texas: Therapy Skill Builders, 1996, pp. 454 | |
|
It seems to have taken three years, looking
at the publication date, for this brilliant insight into autism to reach
the other side of the Atlantic. But thank God it finally did, for rarely
have I come across a more comprehensive guide to a disorder which, in its
multitude and variety of presentation, can be mind boggling for anyone
having to work with people afflicted by it. The book is thus aimed at a
wide readership, starting from counselling psychologists who may be
involved in diagnosis and treatment, teachers and parents who are living
with and training people with autism, and of course students of psychology
who may want to find out the basic facts about the disorder.
