  • Emerald Guide to Creative Reading and Writing in Autism, An: First Edition

    Creativity in autism extends to all areas of life – to the visual arts, to music, to dance – but our backgrounds in English and Applied Drama mean that it is a particular pleasure for us to explore autistic interaction with words. Stereotypes of autism suggest that autistic people are concrete thinkers, people who struggle to move beyond literal interpretations, and that language used by and understood by autistic people lacks flexibility and creativity. We challenge this perspective, instead suggesting that autism may bring new richness and originality to language that can provide creativity and insight. This book shares and discusses two recent projects using the written word to explore autism. The first used the shared reading of literature as a scaffold for discussion of autistic identity. The second involved creative writing by a group of autistic adults. All involved throughout were ‘insider’ members of the autism community, and both projects were completed collectively.

  • Writing the Shadow: Turn Your Inner Darkness Into Words

    Do you want to connect with readers on a deeper level?

    Do you want your books to stand out in a sea of content by being authentic and personal in your writing whatever the genre?

    Are you interested in creative self-development?

    If yes, Writing the Shadow is for you.

    This is a book of my heart and it contains many personal stories – but this book is really about helping you reach readers with your words – and move to the next level in your writing.

    Because we all long to write boldly, without filters or fear.

    To spin stories that capture the messy beauty of what it means to be human. Tales that lay bare the truth of living – darkness and all.

    But something holds us back.

    Whispers of “Who do you think you are?” and “You don’t have permission to write that.” Our own self-censorship and the judgment of others keep us from writing freely – and sometimes, from living fully.

    But all great art taps into darkness, and your most compelling work emerges when you embrace your full humanity-both light and Shadow.

    In Writing the Shadow, I’ll guide you on an intimate journey to explore the darkness and discover the gold lying hidden in its depths. Gold that may be the source of your best creative work in the years ahead.

    The Shadow is calling. It’s time to turn your inner darkness into words.

    What’s in the book?

    Part 1 goes into the various ways you can tap into your Shadow. Since it lies in the unconscious, you cannot approach it directly. You need tools to help reveal it in different ways.

    You will find ideas here – ranging from personality assessments and identifying Shadow personas to mining your own writing and exploring your true curiosity – as well as ways to protect yourself so you don’t get lost in the dark.

    Part 2 explores how the Shadow manifests in various aspects of our lives. I discuss the creative wound and how it may still be holding you back in your writing life, as well as aspects of traditional and self-publishing, then expand into work and money, family and relationships, religion and culture, the physical body and aging, death and dying.

    Part 3 explores ways that you can find the gold in your Shadow, and turn your inner darkness into words through self-acceptance, letting go of self-censorship, deepening character and theme in your work, and opening the doors to new parts of yourself.

    While the book is designed to be read in order, you can also skip directly to the sections that resonate the most.

    There are Resources and Questions at the end of every chapter that will help you reflect along the way. You can answer them in your own journal or use the Companion Workbook if you prefer to write in a more structured way.

    The Shadow is calling. It’s time to turn your inner darkness into words.

  • Supporting direct contact after adoption

    A number of adopted children have direct contact with members of their birth family after adoption. But contact can be difficult to arrange and challenging for all those involved. This important research study outlines the first investigation of the government and council services established to support direct post-adoption contact. The study draws on the experiences of 51 adoptive parents, four long-term foster carers and 39 birth relatives, all of whom were involved in agency supported direct contact. Individual experiences of the challenges and benefits of direct contact are described, different models of contact are explored, and their costs, benefits and suitability described. Finally, the study sets out the implications for social work practice and what agencies can do to improve the contact experience. This study will be of particular interest to social workers and support workers in child and family teams, adoption and post-adoption support teams, legal professionals, child mental health professionals, adoption researchers and students.

  • What White Parents Should Know about Transracial Adoption–The Workbook: Practical Tools, Skills, and Prompts for Affirming Your Adopted Child’s Cultural Identity

    A companion to What White Parents Should Know about Transracial Adoption, this practical workbook guides readers to better understand transracial adoption and do the work of anti-racist, trauma-informed parenting.

    A must-read for white parents who have transracially adopted or prospective parents considering transracial adoption, this follow-up to What White Parents Should Know about Transracial Adoption offers a wealth of activities, templates, and questions for self-reflection. Melissa Guida-Richards, who learned at the age of 19 that she was adopted from Colombia as an infant, addresses the complexities of transracial adoption with insight, compassion, and the wisdom of lived experience. Through thought-provoking questions and activities, Guida-Richards guides you to:

    • Consider the role of infant-mother bonding and understand developmental trauma in adoptees
    • Understand the complex history of adoption; recognize illegal and unethical practices, such as trafficking operations and baby factories; and ask the important questions when working with adoption agencies
    • Look more deeply at implicit bias, white saviorism, and white fragility
    • Locate and utilize adoption-competent mental health care
    • Offer culturally aligned education, community, and resources to your child
    • Acknowledge the effects of racism and celebrate your child’s race and culture

    Throughout the workbook, Guida-Richards guides you to break free from toxic positivity, understand and drop defenses, engage in difficult conversations, and learn to listen to your child’s experience. Whether you are a potential parent considering a transracial adoption, a parent of an adopted child, or a therapist or advocate working with adoptive families, this practical and engaging workbook will help you “do the work” of furthering anti-racist, child-centered, and trauma-informed parenting.

  • Navigating Foster Care and Adoption: A Comprehensive Guide to Fostering & Adopting Children: From Screening… to Placement… to Overcoming Obstacles and Building Loving Families

    The requirements of the child being fostered as well as the life situation of the foster parent can both have a significant impact on the type of foster care that can be provided. Some children remain in foster care for only a few days or weeks at a time, whilst others may remain there for several months or even years at a time. Foster parents have the option of taking care of only one kid at a time, as well as taking care of numerous children at once, including siblings.

    Adoption may offer children who need a loving home with stability, security, and a feeling of belonging in their new family. Adopted children sometimes come from tough situations, such as households in which they were abused or neglected, and consequently, they may have suffered trauma or struggle with emotional challenges. These children may be given the love and support, as well as the secure and caring home environment that they need in order to recover and grow when they are adopted by loving families.

    My desire to write an eBook about fostering and adoption is driven by a desire to share my experience and insights with others who may be considering fostering or adopting. My story can serve as a source of inspiration and guidance for others, providing practical advice and emotional support for those embarking on this challenging journey.

  • TRAUMA AND ADOPTION

    Adopting a child is a highly emotional experience that is characterized by a deep desire by a couple to become parents. It is important to consider that the child they desire to adopt has gone through abandonment trauma. Trauma can have a devastating effect as well as a significant impact on the development, behavior, relationships, and emotional regulation of a person. This book ventures into the world of adoption, through scientific research surrounding trauma, emphasizing the various stages that characterize the life experiences of both the adopted child and the adoptive parents. It can be compared to a trip on a plane. The point of departure is represented by the ideation of the project of adoption by a couple and the stopovers are experienced in the various crucial moments of the journey. Bureaucracy and its emotional impact, the first meeting with the child, the initial adaptations, attachment, ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences), integration in the school context, represent some of the topics addressed in this book. Every stopover offers the reader an opportunity to delve into the experiences and testimonies of people who have lived through specific moments, accompanied by a scientific study and understanding. We hope that the arrival/landing will offer rich and varied discoveries and captivating reflections.

  • The Adoption Constellation: New Ways of Thinking About and Practicing Adoption

    Clinical psychologist, Michael Grand, brings a compassionate understanding to all members of the adoption constellation. Drawing upon a lifetime of personal experience, research and clinical practice, he challenges conventional ways of thinking about adoption. The limitations of attachment theory as an explanation of adoption outcome are presented. In its place, he suggests a narrative understanding of adoption. Core themes of identity, grief, mattering and trust, permeate these narratives and shape the experience of members of the constellation. As a passionate advocate for openness, Grand explores the psychological costs of denying identifying information to adopted individuals and their birth kin. Parallels are also drawn to an impending crisis as offspring of assisted reproduction seek answers to their identity questions. The book concludes with a consideration of alternative permanency arrangements and a primer for opening closed adoption records. This book will change how we approach adoption in all of its manifestations. Adoptees, birth and adoptive kin, social workers, clergy, teachers, therapists, and legislators alike will find meaning within these pages.

  • The Secure Base Model: Promoting attachment and resilience in foster care and adoption

    All children need to feel secure in their relationships with the adults who look after them. Where children have not experienced the kind of sensitive parenting that promotes security and resilience, they will find it difficult to trust and will struggle with managing their feelings and behaviour. What strategies can be used to provide sensitive caregiving that develops secure close relationships? How can children be helped to recover from earlier harmful experiences and feel competent to face future challenges successfully and fulfil their potential? What can help children develop resilience, self-esteem and the capacity to reflect on their feelings and have a sense of hope for the future? Secure Base is a model of caregiving in fostering and adoption that is based on theories of attachment and resilience while also drawing on child placement research. It provides a valuable framework and a strengths-based approach for making sense of children s needs and behaviours and sets out the dimensions of caregiving that can support children to thrive and to fulfil their potential. This practical guide to the Secure Base is designed to support social workers and other professionals involved in all aspects of fostering and adoption practice, from recruitment, assessment and preparation to matching and long-term support for placements through to adulthood.

  • Attachment Handbook For Foster Care And Adoption;

    Attachment is at the heart of family life and at the heart of foster care and adoption. Attachment theory and research provide a vital developmental framework for making sense of the behaviour and relationship strengths and difficulties that children bring from their complex backgrounds. This authoritative book – now in its second edition – provides an accessible account of core attachment concepts and the Secure Base model. It traces the pathways of secure and insecure patterns from birth to adulthood, exploring the impact of past experiences of abuse, neglect and separation on children’s behaviour in foster and adoptive families. It then explains the Secure Base dimensions of parenting that are associated with helping children to feel more secure and to fulfil their potential in the family and in the community. Finally, it tackles the key role which ‘keeping attachment in mind’ can play in family placement practice, and offers useful advice to carers on how they can provide a secure base.
