Print: $12.99 Download: $4.99 THIS BOOK IS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT to understand child sexual abuse in new ways. Based on interviews, the book shows what child sexual abuse means to child and adult survivors, perpetrators, and mothers of survivors. The realities are harsh, but dealing with harsh realities leads to hope and recovery.
The stories are difficult to hear. This is an old problem. Avoidance protects perpetrators, allows child sexual abuse to go on, and isolates survivors who often feel blamed and shamed. Compassionate responses to survivors and effective programs and policies depend upon accurate understandings.
Above all, this book is for survivors and their families so that they can understand the harsh realities in their own lives, find goodness and hope within themselves and in trustworthy other people, and go on to rich and fulfilling lives.

Print: $9.95 Download: FREE The NEATS is a child and family assessment that focuses on five areas that research has established as fundamental to human functioning and development. These areas are neurobiology, executive function, attachment, trauma, and self regulation. The title NEATS draws from the first letter of each of the five areas.
The goal of a NEATS assessment is the development of case plans characterized by interventions that build on client strengths. To do so, practitioners identify risks and adversities as well as resources, competencies, strengths, and resilience processes in the multiple ecologies in which children and their families live their lives. The result is a case plan that uses resources to help manage risk and adversities and thus to promote optimal child and family functioning.

Print: $11.95 Download: $5.00 Bunny and Puppy were worried when they saw Mr. Frog sitting in the driver’s seat of the big orange bus that took them to school every day.
They were right to be worried. Mr. Frog had hijacked the bus! With Sheriff Fox and Deputy Coyote in hot pursuit, Mr. Frog drove the bus right under a low bridge where the bus got stuck.
Sheriff Fox, Deputy Coyote, and Mr. Badger, the tow truck driver, couldn’t figure out how to get the bus out from under the bridge.
Puppy and Bunny knew what to do, but the grownups wouldn’t listen. When the grown-ups ran out of ideas, Bunny and Puppy gave them the solution to the problem.
Mr. Frog went to jail, and the children had their pictures in the paper the next day. The story went viral and Bunny and Puppy got e-mails from children and grown-ups from all over the world congratulating them on their clever solution.

Print: $12.95 Download: $3.98 THROUGH POETRY, Jane Gilgun tells the story of one woman's life. Born in coastal Rhode Island, USA, Jane galloped Sadie Cummings, a race horse, on Narragansett Beach, tramped through the Spring Woods, and found beauty, mystery, and hurt in the people and events in her life. She shows how the themes of childhood weave themselves into her life as a horsewoman, a nature enthusiast, a woman in love, a social worker, a violence researcher, and a seeker of the spiritual.
Written in imagist, lyric, and narrative styles, these poems convey the rhythms of a life fully lived--the sharp, sometimes painful intrusions of beauty, the transcendence of erotic love, the fears and intrigue of bodily changes, the horror of violence, and the warmth and comfort of everyday life.

Print: $19.95 Download: $7.99 This book is based on what the author learned about unkind deeds and cover-ups in her research on violence. She saw it many times--people do terrible things and then they try to cover up through blame, humor, name-calling, indignation, acting innocent, or threatening to abandon. After a while, the author noticed that a lot of people cover up in everyday life. Husbands, wives, children, friends, co-workers, politicians, and even religious figures when a member of the clergy does something wrong.
Read this book and you will be ready to dethrone the next person who dumps on you. For those who aspire to be sh*ts, this book is a step-by-step guide. For those who want to be accountable, this book shows how.
It is custom-made for readers who prefer not to read slang in texts. Each of the slang terms have asterisks in key places. This book also shows how to develop and test theory using qualitative methods and makes a great research text.

Print: $17.95 Download: $1.25 This purpose of this paper is to place evidence-based practice (EBP) within its wider scholarly contexts and to draw lessons from the experiences of other professions that are engaged in implementing it. The analysis is based primarily on evidence-based medicine, the parent discipline of evidence-based practice, but I also draw upon evidence-based nursing and evidence-based social work in the United Kingdom.
I found that the experiences of other practice professions have a great deal to offer social work practice. Like medicine, nursing, and our British colleagues, U.S. social work practice will benefit from increased research activity, more wide-spread availability of reviews of research, on-line resources, and many more training opportunities.
Like nursing administrators, social work administrators have the responsibility to allow social worker practitioners the time to become familiar with research relevant to their practice
