Mercedes Sosa, one of the most influential artists of all time, was a woman who overcame differences and never stopped doing what she believed was right. Despite personal losses and constant persecution, her dedication to helping the poor and the working class was the driving force behind her music. Nicknamed, “The Voice of the Voiceless”, Sosa used her voice to transmit the strength and fire needed for cultural and personal change and for decades, she was a dynamic force in shaping Latin America. Mercedes Sosa – The Voice of Hope portrays Sosa's extraordinary life and career and draws a psychological profile that provides insight into the artist's character and actions and reveals how her upbringing, political environment and personal afflictions shaped her. Through Anette Christensen's eyes, we see the incredible journey of Mercedes Sosa, and the impact this remarkable woman had on the world. We feel her pain, her joy, her triumphs, and her struggles, as if they were our own. And in the process, we discover the transformative power of art, music, and human connection.

(2nd edition) Endorsements “In this work, you will find a new and touching perspective on our beloved Mercedes. It is a heartfelt and affectionate tribute honoring the life of my mother. Thank you, Anette, for all your efforts in the name of the Mercedes Sosa Foundation.” - Fabián Matus, son of Mercedes Sosa From the first page, I was moved and amazed by how Aunt Mercedes manages to travel through time and distance and generate admiration and commitment in Anette to tell the story of who Mercedes really was and make her visible to the reader. Anette's goal was to capture Mercedes' life as an artist and as a person and Anette's mission has been accomplished. She nailed it! - Coqui Sosa, Mercedes Sosa’s nephew, Singer, Author and Cultural Ambassador in the state of Tucumán “The Author’s profound connection with Mercedes Sosa and subsequent transformation is a testament of the restoring im-pact of positive connections. The author does more than just entertain the reader or spark the reader's interest. She spreads hope and knowledge.” - Pauline Skeates, Therapist, Director of Insight-International and Developer of Insight Focused Therapy, New Zealand Tribute: Konstantin Wecker, singer and poet, Germany Editoral Review Mercedes Sosa - The Voice of Hope is a beautiful book, and I hope it gets the attention it deserves. Christensen writes in the present-tense, which gives it an immediacy that's not only powerful and gripping, but it helps to bring this remarkable woman to life. The writing itself is clear, unpretentious and often eloquent, much like Sosa's music. There are times when the author's voice and creativity blends with the material, which is often the case in good historical writing. It's impossible for a biographer to know for sure what a subject is thinking, for example, but in using good research together with a well-honed instinct and empathy, delivering those thoughts to the reader can be a transcendent as well as informative experience. Christensen manages this beautifully. -Charles Musser, film historian, documentary maker, author and professor of Film and Media Studies More infoformation: mercedes-sosa.com facebook.com/AnetteChristensenAuthor

It Could Happen to Anyone by Alyce D. LaViolette,Ola W. Barnett Pdf
The widely read and highly praised bestseller It Could Happen to Anyone offers a unique amalgamation of the practical clinical experience of Alyce LaViolette and the extensive research of Ola Barnett on battered women and their batterers. Fully updated and revised, this Third Edition includes a wealth of new material and case examples, while retained sections have been carefully rewritten to reflect contemporary thinking. This important text continues to provide understanding and empathy regarding the plight of battered women as they attempt to find safety. The integration of current knowledge with learning theory explains how any woman's previous life experiences along with the effects of battering might influence her to stay with her abuser. The book's content also explains how some social institutions, such as the criminal justice system, cannot be counted upon to protect her, thus making it dangerous for her to leave or stay. In extreme cases, she may even be killed. From a more optimistic viewpoint, the book describes many innovations geared to assist battered women through shelters, transitional housing, and temporary income support. This extensively revised and expanded new edition is a must read for anyone working in or training to work in a helping role for issues in domestic violence.

In these 12 interviews, she talks about her passion for justice and the sacrifices she has had to make.

There is also an updated Chronology of Events of recent Burmese history, a new introduction and a new list of Burma-related websites.
Voices of Hope for Mental Illness by Jackie Goldstein Pdf
We hear about inadequate mental health care. We ask questions regarding a link between mental illness and violence. We do NOT hear as much about the stigma of mental illness that complicates one's ability to cope with a diagnosis that becomes a label, resulting in "self-stigma,"discouraging individuals from seeking and/or complying with treatment. Too often community members only "experience" mental illness through dramatic or dire media stories that fail to inform us about the real world of mental illness. Thus, stigma feeds, and is fed by, myths and misunderstandings leading to a community sense of hopelessness and fear of mental illness. In contrast, Geel, a stigma-free community in Belgium, has a centuries' old history of accepting those with mental illness - even as boarders in their own homes. Geel acknowledges the human needs of those with mental illness and responds to those needs by providing social opportunities and meaningful work, within the community While the U.S. does not have the same history as Geel, we do have programs that offer a fostering environment, offering hope for those with a diagnosis of mental illness as well as for the communities in which they live. In a language and style that can be understood by anyone and everyone, the author shares what she's learned and experienced regarding tolerance and inclusion - in Geel and in our own country - offering individuals and communities an opportunity to hear the encouraging "voices of hope for mental illness." When the general population is freed of myths and misunderstandings regarding mental illness, we can focus on mental health fostered by community care that thrives in "caring communities."
