"Worlds of Care is a powerful and admirably candid deep dive into the experiences of men raising kids with significant cognitive and physical disabilities. By blending intimate accounts of his own experiences with insightful ethnographic research, Jackson casts light on a long-neglected realm of human experience."--Steve Silberman, author of NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity "Many men are caring, supporting, championing their children with disabilities. Aaron J. Jackson's warm, rich, and nuanced account provides a welcome window into their lives and challenges us all to rethink who we are and who we can be."--Tom Shakespeare, Professor of Disability Research at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine "Worlds of Care is the rare book that advances scholarship, addresses significant contemporary issues, and is poignantly personal in a very accessible read. Aaron J. Jackson leverages his experience and ethnographic research on fathers caring for their disabled children to provide compelling analysis regarding the fraught relationship between masculinity and care."--Maurice Hamington, Professor of Philosophy, Portland State University "Worlds of Care draws you deep into the everyday embodied experiences of fathers caring for children with major disabilities in a world that too often turns a blind eye. Richly and reflexively observed, analytically inspiring and utterly moving, this is an ethnographic tale with gravitas that will stay with you."--Tamara Kohn, Professor of Anthropology, University of Melbourne "Intellectually, Jackson provides us with rich phenomenological insights into the experience of fathers bringing up children with profound cognitive disabilities. Moreover, at a personal level, he has given us a perceptive and profoundly moving insight into the disruptions that the care of such children brings to family life."--Bob Simpson, Professor of Anthropology, Durham University, UK

An original, theoretically informed way of thinking about, understanding and actually living with teenagers.

Thoroughly revised and updated with the latest research and methodologies, the fourth edition of the classic guide written specifically for parents, friends, and caregivers of individuals with eating disorders.For more than thirty years, this classic guide has been an essential resource for the “silent sufferers”—those affected by a loved one’s eating disorder. This revised edition put family and friends at the center of the treatment process, providing the latest information on the methods and practices available to facilitate the recovery process.Surviving an Eating Disorder is the first book for family and friends to use a psychological perspective to understand eating disorders. Other treatment manuals or self-help books propose change but Surviving is the first to consider why change can be so hard for everyone involved. The factors that can hinder progress are discussed and the methods that can work are emphasized. Illustrated with case examples, this fourth edition explains the latest treatments and provides the necessary tools to carefully evaluate what can be most effective for each reader’s individual care. The authors offer concrete advice and support, urging readers to care for both themselves and their relationships as they support their loved ones struggling with food and eating issues. With its combination of information, insight, and practical strategies, Surviving an Eating Disorder considers crisis as opportunity—a time for the possibility of hope and change for everyone involved.

Involuntary Astronauts is a collection of poems and essays written between August, 2019 and July 2020. The work deals with a set of recurring themes: the life of parenting a toddler, identity, anxiety, illness, disconnection, wonder and love.It's now been three years since Rebelle Harmony was born and I started writing poems again. This is collection number three. My goal is to continue collecting a year's worth of poems and essays every summer and keep publishing them. Twenty years ago, I wrote with the fantasy of earning a living from writing. The pretensions and egomania of youth have been worn down by time. Now, the process is edifying and the end result is secondary...which makes the idea of self-publishing the poems somewhat arbitrary. Why bother going through the process of organizing--and briefly editing--a year's worth of poems I've emailed to myself? Perhaps to document life. The poems are the stuff of my one life. A daily dispatch from the semi-conscious. Perhaps because reality is flimsy and now turned inside-out, after nearly four months of sheltering-in-our-home...and a select few other homes of toddler parents. Perhaps like anyone who writes, the idea of seeing the words on a printed page-not a screen-is the reason.To establish a simple fact: I exist. Natasha and I exist. Rebelle Harmony exists. Regardless of what is closed or open, regardless of how we deal with each day as it comes...we are here.

"My wife and I have a close relationship with a few of Jim Sherman's children. We've had the privilege of spending a weekend up on Maple Ridge to witness the interaction between Jim and his family. I have personally been a benefactor of his wisdom through stories and have seen the product of his life's lessons in real-life scenarios as he so eloquently shares in these essays. As a father of three and Jim's friend, I can say that these essays are useful, interesting, helpful, and entertaining. I'm thankful that he has decided to share this with the world." -Kelley Bremer, Business Owner"Growing up as Jim Sherman's son, I am both the subject and recipient of many of his fatherhood stories. The more humorous have been retold to family and friends over the years to the point that the entire family can tell them with as much gusto and embellishment as the original storyteller. Reading them as a collection for the first time, I see the impact the underlying principles have had on me as a parent and as a man. Read these essays. Laugh along with us. More importantly, ponder the wisdom contained as you strive to live your life fully." -Chris ShermanWritten by a practicing pediatrician, Essays on Fatherhood is an insight into author James Sherman's experiences and lessons learned over many years of parenting eight children. With a 40-year perspective, it reflects on early decisions made and directions taken, with the realization that a different decision might have been made, if only James had known. It is sometimes amusing, sometimes sad, sometimes confounding, sometimes trivial, and sometimes profound. And overarching all else, there is a clear message that while parenting is the most difficult job of all, it is the most rewarding!Readers will have the opportunity to share in James's parenting journey, and they can also learn wisdom for their own parenting decisions. Readers who have struggles with their children's choices, with the emotional upheaval of adolescence, or with the uncertainty of how to protect their children while allowing them to gain independence can find comfort in the common journey of a father and pediatrician who has shared those experiences.

There are 15 short chapters and only 87 pages, so this book could be read in a week.

A fun book biased off of real experiences of the author reflecting the loving relationship of a little girl and her daddy.

My son asked me, "What about the boys?" after hearing "The Future is Female." So I explained that the future is male. . . and female. Because men and women need each other and there is a difference between the two sexes. Those that scream "the future is female" may take issue with these self-evident truths. Let them. As men, you and I are strong enough to withstand the false allegations which come with defending men. We decry the very concept of what Orwell called thought crime and refuse to limit the scope of our thinking or be silenced when we express these thoughts. We are men, after all. We are strong and confident and willing to protect women and children.This is our bold response to anyone who seeks to denigrate our son and deny him opportunity by claiming the future is (only) female. We say shame on you and ask you to heed the words of the Apostle Paul that there is neither male nor female in Christ.
