Book Description
Draw me a picture of what you would look like if you turned into a monster.' Dennis McCarthy's work with distressed or traumatized children begins with an exercise that is simple but very effective: he invites the child to communicate with him in their own way, through the non-verbal language of play. Using case studies from his clinical experience and with numerous children's monster drawings, McCarthy lets the meaningful self-expression of the child take centre stage. He demonstrates that being allowed to play, move and draw impulsively and creatively in the supportive presence of the therapist is in fact the beginning of the therapeutic process. These activities are shown to be more therapeutic for the child in practical terms than the interpretation of the clues it provides about the child's state of mind. This very accessible book will be inspiring reading for play therapists and other professionals working therapeutically with young children and their families.

Book Description
X-Rated Affair is a true story that involves infidelity, porn addiction, gambling addiction, love, miscommunication, and a corrupt justice system. It tells of the sexual escapades of Mark Thompson, a black man, his weakness and addictions, and Pepito, a Filipino, who had a love lust for this black man. They met serendipitously while each trying to escape their personal demons and situations and found comfort in acting on erotic triple-x porn scenes. The book also portrays the flawed and corrupt US justice system. This system was created to replace slavery, using minorities to staff slave labor wage teams for private corporations. There is nothing rehabilitating about the US justice system, which is another name for the system, an inexpensive and never-ending supply of cheap labor, mostly black men.
