Ali Muhami, the American attorney, the trusted infidel, invited to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to manage the security of the oil pipeline and the industrial city, was bestowed with the highest government security clearances for which he was blackmailed by Colonel Abdullah leading the military coup d'etat to overthrow the King and the Royal family in order to hold democratic parliamentary elections and institute reforms of religious freedom and pluralism, thus transforming Saudi Arabia and Islam forever. Blackmailed into betraying the leaders of the Islamic terrorist group, Al Jihad, so the Colonel could kill them all on Christmas day and foil their plot to sabotage the oil pipeline, incite a holy war and behead the King and the Royal family, Ali was tortured by the fear of losing his own head videoed at the edge of the Red Sea, a humiliating spectacle of his ear-to-ear decapitation shown to the whole world. The guilt he felt, loathing himself while he deceived everyone…Jalal, Ali, Sahir, Bilal, Marwan, Aziz, Steve, Dave, and Jerry, the friends he would lose. And what of Diane, Alya, and Jennifer…and the love he would lose ? The day he was first told by the Colonel they knew from his own words his thoughts, his opinions and what he believed in, began the paranoia that crept deep into his mind. There was no escape from a country you couldn't leave without permission. From the honest, trustworthy man of integrity they believed him to be, above reproach, to the fateful day when they began to suspect him and distrust him, the seeds of discontent began swirling like sand in a desert storm…plotting a tale of blackmail, betrayal, palace intrigue, Islamic terrorism, sabotage, and a coup to overthrow the King. How Ali was proclaimed a patriot, awarded the civilian Medal of Honor leaving the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia a hero, is a story you would not believe, except so much of what you'll read was true.

Fact Vs. Fiction
The advent of the 24-hour news cycle, citizen journalism and an increased reliance on social media as a trusted news source have had a profound effect not only on how we get our news, but also on how we evaluate sources of information, share that information and interact with others in online communities. When these issues are coupled with the “fake news” industry that intentionally spreads false stories designed to go viral, educators are left facing a new and challenging landscape. This book will help them address these new realities.
Fact vs. Fiction provides educators with tools and resources to help students discern fact from fiction in the information they access not only at school, but on the devices they carry in their pockets and backpacks.
Taking the Group Seriously
In this critique and extension of the work of S.H.Foulkes, Farhad Dalal presents a thorough contemporary appraisal of the theory of group analysis and its relevance to psychoanalysis as a whole. The author argues that Foulkes failed to develop a specific set of group concepts, relying instead on the traditional individualistic framework of Freud. The book explores why Foulkes failed to escape from the orthodox mother-infant paradigm and offers a new post-Foulkesian interpretation of group analytic theory. Taking the Group Seriously is divided into six parts which trace the history of ideas behind group work, and draws on a wide range of subjects to support its thesis: not only psychoanalysis and group analysis, but also sociology, biology, chaos theory, genetics, economics, game theory and discourse theory. Using the author's practical group experience and including the latest ideas on the subject, this volume will be of interest to all those working in the field of psychoanalysis.
Spirituality and Mental Health Care
A person's sense of spirituality informs his or her awareness of self and of the society around them, and is intrinsic to their mental well-being. In this balanced and thoughtful book John Swinton explores the connections between mental health or illness and spirituality and draws on these to provide practical guidance for people working in the mental health field. He analyses a range of models of mental health care provision that will enable carers to increase their awareness of aspects of spirituality in their caring strategies. Using a critical evidence-based and interdisciplinary approach to contemporary mental health practice, Swinton explores the therapeutic significance of spirituality from the perspectives of both carers and service-users, looking at mental health problems such as psychotic disorder and depression, Alzheimer's disease and bipolar disorder. He also provides a critical review of existing literature in the field to place spirituality in contemporary theory and practice.
Spirituality and Art Therapy
Reflecting the increasing recognition of the importance of the spiritual in healing, Spirituality and Art Therapy is an exciting exploration of the different ways in which the spiritual forms an essential, life-enhancing component of a well-rounded therapeutic approach. The contributors are leading art therapists who write from diverse perspectives, including Christian, Jewish, Buddhist and shamanic. They explain how their own spiritual and creative influences interact, finding expression in the use of art as a healing agent with specific populations, such as bereaved children, emotionally disturbed adolescents, and the homeless. The relationships between spirituality and visual art, art therapy and transpersonal psychology are examined. Story and image are interwoven in the spiritual journeys of therapists and clients, and suggested creative exercises make this an accessible, practical resource for those who desire to understand and execute an holistic method of therapy. Arguing that art therapists can mediate between the sacred and the mundane, this pioneering book is an affirmation of the transformative power of art therapy.
Spiritual Dimensions of Pastoral Care
Written by significant researchers and practitioners within the field, this unique collection of key texts introduces the reader to practical theology.

The book is an invaluable resource for practitioners, researchers, students and all who have an interest in the ways in which a spiritual dimension can enhance caring practices within a multidisciplinary context.
Social Work, Immigration and Asylum

Drawing from the experience of practitioners working in child protection and family support, disability, the criminal justice system, asylum teams and immigration tribunals, Social Work, Immigration and Asylum will prepare professionals working in these and related fields to deal with the complex situations of people subject to immigration control and to develop interventions appropriate to their differing needs.
A Practitioners' Tool for Child Protection and the Assessment of Parents
A practical tool for the assessment of children and their families, this guide enables professionals to make informed decisions about child protection issues.

Providing detailed checklists for collecting and interpreting information vital to a best practice assessment, it also includes practical sections that focus on assessing attachment issues, childhood experiences, alcohol and drug abuse, and parenting skills and abilities.
