This book tells two intertwined stories. The first is the author's autobiography-how he became a controversial race researcher. The second describes the rise, fall, and rebirth of the Darwinian perspective in the behavioral sciences. Rushton's life story forms one strand in the entire tapestry of the history of the last 150 years of behavior genetics, psychometrics, and human sociobiology.

Intentional Attachment

Understanding what it means to grow up! Responsible insight designed to improve relationships.

Todd Bingham, LMFT

My journey as a therapist began in 1996 as a MFT graduate student with a non-profit, shelter-based agency working with men and women who had abusive, dysfunctional relationships. As a licensed therapist, I started, with Ms. Ramos's help, a private corporation focused on assisting men and women build healthier, non-violent, more functional relationships.

To date, I've clinically assessed over 6,000 referrals (mostly court-ordered men and women who struggle with anger, partner aggression, and dysfunctional relationships). Further, I have over 10,000 hours running groups that help clients modify cognitive scripts, and stop their partner aggression. My interest has been on what may work in assisting these men and women to act more maturely and develop healthier relationships.

This book is a direct summary of what we teach. By taking the steps we discuss and doing the behaviors, you may create healthier, happier and more respectful relationships--not only with your family, and your partner, but most importantly, with yourself.

Theresa Ramos, CPC

Mr. Bingham and I have worked together to create programs that allow clients to achieve healthier non-violent lifestyles. We started our company, Alternative Health Consultants in 2000, and have focused our programs on presenting tools and skills that, when used correctly, assist people in making life transformations. Ours has been and always will be a mission of unity, harmony and peace.

I Don’t Want to Go! by Delores Connors

Mindstir Media Publishing — Sun, 06 Jan 2019 21:48:57 +0000

What is it like for a child to go from a mainstream classroom into a special education class? For Mark it's a challenge, and he doesn't want to go. Mark is struggling with the idea of moving from his "big classroom" into this "little classroom." We learn that it's an emotional journey that leads Mark to resent going into his new special education class. Only after his teacher, Ms. Collins reminds Mark that he wants to do well and not disappoint his family does he decide to give the class a try. I Don't Want To Go, through its poignant narrative, brings home the point that emotions can have a strong impact on student learning. It looks at the dilemma that children face when there is a change in their lives.
