Strength Perspective & Jaycee Dugard
It can be difficult to imagine how a person could stay captured for 18 years and not be able to do anything about it, but that was the case with Jaycee Dugard. As Dugard's book is appropriately titled "A Stolen Life" (2011), her life way of living was completely taken from her the day she was kidnapped. When Dugard was only eleven years old, she was captured by Phillip and Nancy Garrido, who kept her imprisoned for 18 years, being housed in their back yard and where Phillip Garrido fathered two children with Dugard. The eleven and fifteen-year-old girls were told that Dugard was indeed their sister and not their mother, since Dugard was so young. The three girls were held captive by all means. They were not allowed to interact with anyone, and they were home-schooled as a way of preventing them from further exposure to the outside world. By the time of...
In the case of Dugard and Phillip Garrido, this bond went beyond inappropriate as it produced two innocent children into a life a misery. However, one would imagine a case such as this as being a traumatic one for Dugard's children, but that actually was not the case. They did not exhibit the stereotypical mannerisms or the quality of life that one would imagine a captured individual would have, but instead they looked like healthy, relatively well-dressed, and very well-spoken individuals.

One can imagine a film including dream sequences to illustrate the liberating and sustaining power of the life of the imagination for a young and resilient woman. Then, finally, like escaping from an old-time war film, the captive family dug a tunnel and escaped. They were recaptured but the world was at least alerted to their plight.

Life Skills Training prevention program that revolves around material focusing on violence and the media, anger management, and conflict resolution skills. My idea for this program comes from Botvin et al. (2006) who empirically tested the efficacy of this program and found that it can be successfully used to not only prevent tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drug use but also to prevent violence and delinquency. The Life Skills Training (LST)
Stolen Party Dear Senora Ines, It has been over a decade since we last spoke, and although I have grown from an impressionable child to a confident woman, I find myself thinking about you more often than I would like. Luciana and I drifted apart during high school, as children tend to do, and that has never bothered me a bit, but there is simply something about my last experience with
Stolen Generations' is used to define the numerous Aborigines, and the few Torres Strait Islanders, who were forced from their homes when they were children, by church missions and Australian territorial, state, and federal government agencies during the latter 1800s up to the seventies (NSDC, 2015). 'Generations' highlight for how long (i.e., more than a century) this practice of separating the children of Aborigines from their homes took place,
Steal my Soldiers� Hearts AnalysisIn 1969, a promising young lieutenant colonel of the United States army went to Vietnam for a second tour of duty. David H. Hackworth just finished writing a tactical handbook for the pentagon, and as a result, he got the order to put to action his counterguerrilla-fighting theories.
