Yapko, PhD, Author of "Breaking the Patterns of Depression" and "Hand-Me-Down Blues".'George Burns takes the reader on a wonderful journey, balancing metaphor, good therapeutic technique, and empirical foundations during the trip. Given that Burns utilizes all three aspects of the Confucian story referred to in the book-teaching, showing, and involving - readers should increase their understanding of how stories can be used therapeutically' - Richard G. Whiteside, MSW, Author of "The Art of Using and Losing Control" and "Working with Difficult Clients: A Practical Guide to Better Therapy".'A treasure trove for parents and for professionals in the child-development fields' - Jeffrey K.Zeig, PhD, Director, The Milton H.

Franklin
In 1845 Captain Sir John Franklin led a large, well equipped expedition to complete the conquest of the Canadian Arctic, to find the fabled North West Passage connecting the North Atlantic to the North Pacific. Yet Franklin, his ships and men were fated never to return. Why did this outstanding scientific navigator find his ships trapped in pack ice seventy miles from magnetic north? In this riveting story of the Arctic, Andrew Lambert discovers a new Franklin: a character far more complex, and more truly heroic, than previous histories have allowed.
