Kin is a dazzling family epic from one of Croatia's most prized writers. In this sprawling narrative which spans the entire twentieth century, Miljenko Jergović peers into the dusty corners of his family's past, illuminating them with a tender, poetic precision. Ordinary, forgotten objects - a grandfather's beekeeping journals, a rusty benzene lighter, an army issued raincoat - become the lenses through which Jergović investigates the joys and sorrows of a family living through a century of war. The work is ultimately an ode to Yugoslavia - Jergović sees his country through the devastation of the First World War, the Second, the Cold, then the Bosnian war of the 90s; through its changing street names and borders, shifting seasons, through its social rituals at graveyards, operas, weddings, markets - rendering it all in loving, vivid detail. A portrait of an era.

Once understood as useful but optional, case conceptualization is now considered an essential clinical skill. Clinicians looking for resources to assist in learning and mastering this competency must consider approaches that are both effective and clinician-friendly. A truly clinical effective approach explains and guides treatment, and most importantly, predicts challenges and obstacles that are likely to arise over the course of treatment. Most approaches emphasize explanation and treatment guidance but seldom include the third function which helps anticipate like challenges. If not proactively addressed, these challenges are likely to result in therapy interference or premature termination. Research show that such case conceptualization is essential in determining the course and overall effectiveness of therapy, and it can be completed in as little as fifteen minutes. The 15 Minute Case Conceptualization guides clinicians step-by-step through the process of case conceptualization. Accessible and effective, this book is a must-have for clinicians who want to master this essential skill. Book jacket.
