"Face to Face with Caring Confrontation"
A clear description of several examples and benefits of caring confrontation. Many people
fear being criticized or confronted and would rather avoid both, which they associate with
defeat and pain from childhood. This new look invites people to caringly confront and
helps them learn from people who are well-practiced in this skill. Less and less can we
expect to live in a world where people generally think alike and share the same culture.
With such diversity in our societies, making peace vs.war begins with caring, thoughtful
and effective confrontation. Transactional

"Group
Critiquers: A Berne Legacy."
Valerie Lankford had the luck and privilege of training with Transactional Analysis founder Eric Berne. Before he died, Berne chose her to lead one of his married couples' groups because, as he said, "for lack of a better word, you are sincere." This article outlines the model she learned from him for having group critiquers play a unique role in therapy groups.

Four Feelings and What to Do With Them
(.pdf)
People often reveal that they're depressed, anxious, or generally uncomfortable. They
don't know what to do to feel better. If they express their feelings, sometimes they feel
worse!
But our feelings are not all inborn and out of control. We actually begin to learn many of
them before we even learn our A,B,C's. We can "unlearn" some of the ones
that don't work in our lives.
Certain feelings are universal. Colloquially, the author refers to these as
"mad," "sad," "glad," and "scared." These are
considered natural to everyone.
This pamphlet helps people identify what each feeling is for--what we need to do to feel
better and to solve problems. Practical methods are applied for the feelings that are
commonly the most difficult for most people.
What Will I Learn From a Child Today? (co-authored
with Pearl Ratushewitz)
This book came about because the authors, a professional counselor and an early childhood specialist, learn as many important things from children of all ages as they do
from adults. The powerful lessons children have to teach us are often missed or
overlooked. What Will I Learn From a Child Today? reminds us to take the time to
notice.
