All her life Robin had wanted to be in the Sixth Form at Rothmere, but ... "Must Father be transferred this year? Won't they keep him on till next? Think of being a new girl in the Sixth!" After an eventful journey to their new home, Robin joins the Sixth at St. Quentin's. With too many girls and not enough desks in the regular form room, Robin and six other girls are exiled to the division room, and before long tensions between the Small Sixth and the Big Sixth escalate to outright war. Isobel, Magda, G.G. and Todger, along with painting and decorating, disappearing birds' eggs, a museum and a pet show, all play a part in helping Robin adjust to her new life in the Small Sixth Form.

The Small Sixth Form

Aubrey was among thousands of children who contracted poliomyelitis before the invention of the polio vaccine. At the tender age of six, he was left with a lifelong disability for which there was no cure or treatment. As a March of Dimes Poster Child he helped raise thousands of dollars to fight the disease. Unfortunately, no amount of money could give him back what he lost. After years of rehabilitation, the battle to fight the disease was far from over, or fair. Although he struggled to keep up with the able-bodied, he never gave up. He lived his life resilient and courageous as a polio survivor rather than a polio victim.

The Walk to First Base

Pamela, Gwen, Sylvie, Tony, Septima, Phyllida and Gerry-the "long family of Shortt"-arrive at Queen Anne's for their first ever term at boarding school after their governess leaves them to get married. They aren't the ordinary type of school nuisance; they haven't any desire to break rules for the sake of breaking them, or to be objectionable to mistresses and prefects just because they are in authority. But they have their own ways, which are not school ways ... Seven Sisters at Queen Anne's is the first book in the Queen Anne's series and displays to the full Evelyn Smith's talent for lively characterisation and quirky situations.

Options can be limited for those who do not respond to standard eating disorder treatments. Schema therapy is one of the new exciting frontiers in the treatment of this clinical population, offering a much-needed model that integrates both developmental and deeper level personality factors. Schema Therapy for Eating Disorders is the first book of its kind, guiding clinicians to deliver the schema model to those with entrenched or enduring eating pathology, and in turn encouraging further clinical research on this approach to treatment. Written by an international team of leading schema therapy experts, and with a foreword by Wendy Behary and Jeffrey Young, this book draws on their clinical knowledge and research experience. Comprehensive and practical, this book introduces the rapidly growing evidence base for schema therapy, outlines the application of this model across eating disorder diagnostic groups, as well as individual and group modalities, and explores practical considerations, common challenges and the therapeutic process. The book includes detailed case examples, which provide a theoretical and practical basis for working with therapist-client schema chemistry and transference, and outlines methods of ensuring therapist self-care in the face of difficult and often long-term work. Innovative and accessible, this fresh look at the treatment of eating disorders will be an invaluable resource for clinicians in the field.
