What can a therapist do when faced with the all-too-familiar client who seems stuck or resistant? With this volume, veteran therapists Carol and Steve Lankton offer clinicians an effective tool with which they can expand their ability to be successful in therapy through integrating the use of indirection into the more commonly used rational and direct approach. This is a book of predesigned stories that the Lanktons and their trainees have told in successful therapy in order to assist clients in their movement toward specific, preplanned goals. The stories are categorized according to the way they are structured to reach particular types of goals, such as changes in affect, attitudinal restructuring, changes in behavior, changes in family structure, changes in self-image and many others.

This book was written in answer to the complaint that there are not enough good plays for Youth Theater to produce. Youth Theater is a worthwhile activity for young people to indulge in after class or after school, preempting or preventing involvement in harmful activities otherwise. Fairy Gifts (Tales of Enchantment) is a set of 5 plays written in response to that need. Like most plays designed for Youth Theater, the cast of each play could be all children/young people, a mixture of adults and children, or all adults performing for children. The plays are based on unfamiliar fairytales and folktales from around the world, to wit: Fairy Gifts from the French fairy tale by Count de Caylus; The Enchanted Deer based on the German fairy tale Little Brother and Little Sister by the Brothers Grimm; Gems in the Night adapted from the Punjabi tale Grasp All, Lose All, retold by Major Campbell, Feroshepore; The Golden-Headed Fish adapted from an Armenian tale retold by Frederic Macler, Paris; and The House in the Forest adapted from the German tale, The House in the Woods retold by the Brothers Grimm and other tale-tellers. Three of these plays -- Fairy Gifts, The Enchanted Deer, and The House in the Forest -- can also be produced as musicals. The music and songs for these have been composed by the author herself and are available separately. To produce any of these plays, send a letter of Intent to Perform to the author at this address: Ruby L. Agnir, 6119 Weatherwood Circle, Wesley Chapel, FL 33545.
