Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A Note to the ReaderThis book exists because a distinction is being collapsed - and the collapse is costing children, families, and systems something they cannot afford.Sexual reactive behavior in a child or adolescent with attachment disruption and developmental trauma is not the same clinical phenomenon as sexual offending. The behaviors may look similar from the outside. The pathways, the internal architecture, the risk profile, and the required response are not the same. Treating them as interchangeable produces two simultaneous failures: reactive children are permanently mislabeled and subjected to interventions designed for a different population, and genuine offending risk is sometimes missed because the field has lost precision in its language.This volume is written for the parent who has been handed a label and felt the floor drop. For the clinician who knows the differential exists but needs a framework precise enough to defend it in a school meeting, a staffing, or a courtroom. For the educator who is responsible for safety and accuracy at the same time. For the system professional who has been trained to report and refer but not always trained to differentiate.It is not written to minimize risk. Safety is non-negotiable. It is written to restore clinical precision so that safety planning, treatment matching, and long-term outcomes are built on the correct architecture rather than on fear, institutional convenience, or diagnostic shortcuts.You will not find Band-Aid behavior charts here. You will find the DR. RAD(TM) frame: attachment, trauma, neuroception, co-regulation, and the parent as Level 1 therapeutic agent - applied specifically to the most charged behavioral presentation families and systems encounter.Read it with a pen. The distinction is the intervention.- DR. RAD(TM) This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. We have spent decades watching how systems affect ordinary people-especially the young, the vulnerable, and those without institutional protection. We have also watched how religious communities often respond when justice becomes costly: by softening language, by changing the subject, or by remaining silent.Amos does not allow that option. His words remain one of the sharpest available critiques of any society that combines public virtue with private and structural exploitation. We offer this examination not as religious instruction, but as moral clarification. The patterns he named did not die with his century. They are visible in markets, courts, cultural institutions, and pulpits today.If the book unsettles, it is doing part of its work. Warnings exist so that worse outcomes can still be avoided.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - A Note Before We BeginThis volume is going to ask something of you that no one has asked yet.It is going to ask you to look at the origin of your child's behavior - at the earliest wounds, the developmental architecture, the years before the first diagnosis and the first hospitalization and the first call from the school - without making that history into a verdict about you.That is harder than it sounds. Because the origin story of a child in crisis is also, inevitably, the origin story of a family. And most parents of children with attachment disruption and developmental trauma arrive at the question of 'how did this happen' already carrying a sentence they have pronounced on themselves.This volume is not a sentencing document. It is a clinical map.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - A NOTE TO THE READERYou picked this up because nothing has worked. That is the most important thing you have ever done for your family.Not the therapy. Not the medication trials. Not the residential program, the IEP meeting, the family court appearance, the crisis line call at 2 a.m., or the long, silent drive home from yet another intake evaluation where you sat in a beige waiting room and filled out forms that did not have a box for what is actually happening in your house.This moment - right now, this book in your hands - is the first honest thing in a long time. Because what you are holding is not a manual that tells you what you did wrong. It is not a guide that assumes you have not already exhausted every conventional avenue. It is not written for the parent who is just beginning to notice that something is difficult. It is written for you. The one who is deep inside it. The one who has been deep inside it for longer than you can fully account for.I am going to speak to you directly throughout this volume. I am going to name things that you have been unable to name - not because you lacked intelligence or insight, but because the clinical language for what you are living inside has been systematically withheld from you by every system that was supposed to help.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The New Attachment Figure No Parent Saw ComingI sat in my office watching a six-year-old boy I'll call Marcus. He had been adopted at age three from a neglectful and chaotic home. When something upset him - a transition, a limit, or even a small disappointment - he used to do what most young children with trauma histories do: he would melt down, push away, or freeze. His adoptive mother would move toward him, offering co-regulation the way we teach in therapeutic parenting.But on this day, something had changed. Marcus became dysregulated over a simple request to put away his toys. Instead of turning toward his mother or even toward me, he reached for the tablet sitting on the coffee table. Within seconds he was swiping, tapping, and completely checked out. His breathing slowed. His body relaxed. The meltdown never came.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Most people can recall a moment when a small, seemingly insignificant comment stayed with them far longer than it should have. The remark was minor. It could even be defended as a joke, an observation, or 'just being honest.' Yet it lodged somewhere deeper than the words themselves seemed to justify.This book examines why those comments matter. It explores the psychology behind unnecessary remarks-the insecurity, status-seeking, passive aggression, and character patterns that often drive them-and the cumulative damage they create in relationships, workplaces, families, and the inner life of the person on the receiving end.>- A Colleague in Clinical Practice.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - I have sat across from hundreds of children who appeared 'perfect.' They were polite. They were compliant. They smiled when expected. They rarely cried, rarely melted down, and rarely caused trouble at school. On paper, they looked like success stories. But something was always missing. There was no spark. No real connection. No sense that anyone truly mattered to them - including themselves. Over more than three decades of working with traumatized children, I have learned to pay close attention when a child is too easy, too good, or too calm. That stillness is often not peace. It is protection. It is the nervous system's decision that feeling is too dangerous and that relationship is not worth the risk. This book is about those children.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - For more than thirty-three years I have sat with parents who were genuinely shocked by the children they were raising.They came into my office carrying the same stunned sentence: 'I had no idea.'Sometimes it was about hidden sexual behavior. Sometimes it was about substances, self-harm, online activity, or emotional alliances with peers that completely contradicted the child they saw at the dinner table. In adoptive families the shock often carried an extra layer of grief: 'After everything we've done for him. how could he still be living this double life ' In biological families the disbelief sounded slightly different but carried the same weight: 'We're a good family. We go to church. We eat dinner together. I thought I knew my own child.'The painful truth is this: they didn't know. Not because they were negligent or unloving, but because they had never been given permission to see what was actually happening in the second culture that has always existed right under their own roof.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Comforting Illusion of 'Doing Something'When a child is struggling emotionally or behaviorally, the instinctive response of most systems is to add more services. It feels responsible. It looks proactive. It satisfies the need to do something.But this reflex often becomes a sophisticated form of avoidance.Instead of asking the harder questions - What does this child actually need to feel safe Who is in a position to build a deep, consistent relationship with them What is their nervous system truly capable of handling right now - we default to adding more appointments, more providers, and more interventions.The result is a system that is very busy but often ineffective.This book challenges the deeply held belief that more services equal better or faster outcomes, particularly for children with Reactive Attachment Disorder and complex trauma. It argues that for many of these children, high-volume service models do more harm than good by increasing fragmentation, raising stress, and preventing the development of the one thing that actually creates change: a safe, consistent, regulating relationship.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A distinction is being collapsed - and the cost is paid by children, families, and systems that cannot afford it.Sexual reactive behavior driven by attachment disruption and developmental trauma is not the same clinical phenomenon as sexual offending. The behaviors may look similar from the outside. The pathways, risk profiles, and required responses are not. Treating them as interchangeable mislabels reactive children into frameworks built for predatory risk while allowing genuine offending features to be missed under the same broad language.This volume restores the differential. It names both presentations without softening either, maps the attachment-trauma pathway that produces reactive sexualized behavior, exposes the assessment and system failures that collapse precision under institutional pressure, and delivers matched intervention: structured safety and Level 1 attachment repair when the pathway is reactive; tighter containment, specialized evaluation, and accountability when offending risk is real.Written for the parent handed a catastrophic label, the clinician who must defend accuracy in a staffing or courtroom, the educator responsible for every student in the room, and the system professional trained to report but not always trained to differentiate.Safety is non-negotiable. Accuracy is non-negotiable. You can hold both.The distinction is the intervention. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The battle for the soul of Florida - and indeed for the soul of this Republic - is upon us. As we stand in the heat of these critical mid-term elections, the I-4 Corridor has become ground zero in the fight to preserve our freedoms, our families, and our future.I have spent decades counseling and equipping families as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, holding a master's in biblical counseling and a PhD in Psychology. I have walked with the broken, the adopted, and the traumatized. I understand the profound impact that policy, culture, and leadership have on the hearts and minds of our children and communities. That is why I stand unapologetically with "The Florida Fire Awakens."As RPOF State Committeeman for Polk County, Statewide Coalition Committee Chair, CD 15 Caucus Chair, and SCM/SCW Caucus Secretary, I have witnessed firsthand the fierce battles being waged in our state. We must protect the Homestead Exemption that safeguards Florida families, secure our borders against chaos and crime, and restore the rule of law that is the foundation of a civilized society.Mid-term elections are not secondary - they are decisive. Every vote cast in these races will determine whether our classrooms remain places of learning or indoctrination, whether our communities stay safe, and whether our constitutional values endure for the next generation.To every Florida voter, every patriot, and every person of faith: Now is the time to rise. The fire is awake. Let it burn with righteous conviction at the ballot box.May God grant us the wisdom, courage, and unity to reclaim what is good, true, and honorable for our state and our nation.May God bless the United States of America.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - For more than three decades I have sat with children ages five and older who struggle in school. Many of them carry histories of trauma, disrupted attachment, foster care, or adoption. Others simply grew up in homes or neighborhoods where rich language, books, and wide experiences were scarce.Again and again I have watched the same pattern. These children can often decode words. They can sit through lessons. They can even memorize strategies for 'finding the main idea.' Yet when the text or the lesson assumes knowledge they do not possess, their performance collapses.Teachers and parents frequently label the problem as a reading deficit, an attention issue, a motivation problem, or a behavior problem. Interventions follow: more phonics, more comprehension drills, more accommodations, more behavior plans. Some of those tools help at the margins. Most of them leave the deeper issue untouched.The deeper issue is background knowledge. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - There is a moment that almost every caregiver of a traumatized child describes, usually in their second or third session of therapy, when the careful professional vocabulary finally cracks and the real sentence comes out. The sentence is some version of this: I don't understand what is happening, and I am terrified that I never will.This book exists to answer that sentence.The central argument of everything that follows is simple to state and radical in its implications: the reactive, oppositional, defiant, destructive behavior that characterizes children with complex attachment trauma is not pathology to be extinguished. It is not manipulation to be outmaneuvered. It is not willfulness to be broken. It is a brilliantly adaptive neurological strategy - one that was, at the time of its formation, genuinely lifesaving - and it has simply outlived the danger that created it. The child is no longer in the burning building. But the brain does not know that yet. The brain is still running fire drills, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, in a house that has not been on fire for years.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - For decades, the child welfare and adoption fields have operated under a powerful, largely unexamined assumption: that placing children together and declaring them siblings will eventually create safety. This assumption has shaped policy, matching decisions, training curricula, and the daily lives of thousands of adoptive families.Dr. Franklin Edward Shoemaker and Tonya A. Sharrett-Shoemaker have done what few have been willing to do. With forensic precision, clinical courage, and decades of frontline experience, they have systematically dismantled the Sibling Illusion. They do not do so from theory alone, but from the accumulated evidence of what actually happens when children carrying complex trauma, attachment wounds, and sexual trauma histories are placed together without adequate assessment or protection.This book is uncomfortable. It should be. It forces us to confront the gap between our aspirations for 'family' and the neurobiological, developmental, and relational realities of the children we serve. It challenges comfortable narratives about permanency and asks hard questions about when protection must take precedence over togetherness.The Sibling Illusion is not an attack on sibling placement. It is a call for honesty, rigor, and a higher standard of care. Every professional who makes placement decisions, every agency that trains adoptive parents, and every clinician who works with adoptive families should read this book carefully - and then act on what they have learned.The children deserve nothing less. …
