During your treatment program, think of yourself as a scientist who is experimenting with different formulas to find the successful combination to reach your goals. Most people have a patterned way of thinking and behaving. If you are not comfortable with your current reality or you find that you are running into trouble, then it’s time to consider making a change. A successful scientist won’t continue to combine the same compounds and expect a different result. During this program, allow yourself to be a curious observer, let go of judgment, and practice a new way of being.

The goal of any batterer intervention program is to stop violent behaviors; but just as important is the transformation of the participant's thoughts, feelings and behaviors in order to eliminate all forms of abuse in their interpersonal relationships. Utilizing a strengths-based, cognitive-behavioral, and solution-focused approach, this trauma-informed, 52-week batterer intervention curriculum and program design addresses mindfulness, attachment issues; and when used as designed, the facilitator will be able to see higher retention rates and identifiable changes in participants' thoughts, feelings and behaviors. This unique program design incorporates adult learning principles and activities to impart information which will • educate the participant on what constitutes abusive behaviors; • stimulate introspection; • promote personal responsibility for abusive behaviors, and; • teach non-violent conflict resolution. Some of the sessions are packed with activity and discussion, while others are designed to stimulate deeper introspection. This design helps in keeping the participant's interest and often they don't even realize that two-hours has elapsed. Ultimately, it is anticipated that the participant will develop and demonstrate empathy for those they have victimized. This material and program design has been praised by participants for what they have learned; by their family members for the positive changes in behaviors and responses to conflict; and by program facilitators who have found the process stimulating and rewarding. This Facilitator Guide is designed to accompany "Another Way...Choosing to Change-Participant Handbook" Discounts are available for multiple purchases-contact www.yorkeconsulting.com for more information.

Maia is the story of an idea, and its development into a working hypothesis, that provides a cybernetic interpretation of how growth is controlled. Growth at the lowest level is controlled by regulating the rate of growth. Access to the output of control mechanisms is provided by perturbing the growing organism, and then filtering out the consequences to growth rate. The output of the growth control mechanism is then accessible for interpretation and modelling. Perturbation experiments have been used to provide interpretations of hormesis, the neutralization of inhibitory load and acquired tolerance to toxic inhibition, and catch-up growth. The account begins with an introduction to cybernetics covering the regulation of growth and population increase in animals and man and describes this new approach to access the control of growth processes. This book is suitable for postgraduate students of biological cybernetics and researchers of biological growth, endocrinology, population ecology and toxicology.
