Lily has never had problems with her mental health. She’s never worried about anything, not even her massive credit card debt or the creditors that insist on calling her daily. But that changes when she gets into a small car crash. Suddenly, Lily is unable to even think about leaving her apartment without having a panic attack. Thankfully, Lily’s two best friends, Autumn and Cora, live down the hall from her. They help her manage day-to-day tasks like walking her blind beagle, Phil, but Lily is still left alone for much of the day. An opportunity for more companionship presents itself when Cora decides to sign up for a dating app and matches with Michael the police officer. Too busy with work to chat with Michael, Cora leaves her phone with Lily during the day so she can talk to Michael while pretending to be Cora. But Lily keeps forgetting she’s meant to be chatting as Cora and keeps telling Michael facts about herself. When Cora and Michael finally meet, there’s confusion, mayhem, and a whole lot of explaining to do. Has Lily taken on too much or can she successfully navigate her mental health and a mistaken identity?

Featuring in-depth case presentations from master clinicians, this volume highlights the remarkable capacity of traumatized children to guide their own healing process. The book describes what posttraumatic play looks like and how it can foster resilience and coping. Demonstrated are applications of play, art, and other expressive therapies with children who have faced such overwhelming experiences as sexual abuse or chronic neglect. The contributors discuss ways to facilitate forms of expression that promote mastery and growth, as well as how to intervene when play becomes stuck in destructive patterns. They share effective strategies for engaging hard-to-reach children and building trusting therapeutic relationships.

This Book contains the brief Hebrew text of Ecclesiastes and the brief Greek texts of the Three Letters of John from the Hebrew Old Testament or Tanakh in Jewish Holy Scripture and the Greek New Testament. These texts are intended for students of Biblical Hebrew and Biblical Greek to help them develop their reading comprehension skills in either of these two ancient Biblical languages. Additional study aids for each of these Biblical languages are included, namely Biblical Hebrew/Greek-English glossaries as well as concordances for each word and its grammatical word form variants in both texts with exact references of their occurrences in the chapters and verses of these texts and their number of occurrences in the entire text body. After initial instruction in the Hebrew and Greek scripts and elementary Biblical Hebrew and Greek grammar, the user of this book will certainly benefit from applying what he has learned before by a study of these texts and thus developing his reading comprehension skills.
