A new and revised edition of Claudia Black's groundbreaking workbook for adult children from dysfunctional families This updated edition of Dr. Black's revolutionary self-help workbook provides readers with a step-by-step framework and a guide that takes them through a process to recognize how present challenges are influenced by growing up in a troubled family system, release the parts of the past they wish to leave behind, and take greater responsibility for how they live today. Adult children tend to repeat the life scripts of their challenged, troubled families as a result of internalized beliefs and behaviors that were either modeled for them or were a part of their survival strategy. Claudia Black, world-renowned expert on dysfunctional families, articulates a seven-step process for readers to heal the wounds of their past. This is also an excellent resource to aid therapists, counselors, and other helping professionals in their work with clients to help them become aware of how their family system affected them and grow beyond it.

What he saw was so exciting it scared the hell out of him. On the other side of town summer school was in session and the students taking Psychology 101 were thrilled they would soon be learning the dynamics of hypnosis. For some lucky students class would be fun. For others it would be deadly.

Full of unexpected twists and turns, Beyond 101 will introduce you to the fragmented mind of a diabolical killer you'll never forget.
