Into the Dark

New York Times bestselling author Karen Rose returns with a new thriller in her chilling Cincinnati series. Michael Rowland is not your typical teenager. Deaf from birth, he’s always looked out for his five-year-old brother, Joshua. When his stepfather comes after Joshua, Michael takes the child and runs. He’s determined to protect his brother at all costs, even if that means making himself vulnerable to a danger he can’t hear coming. And the danger intensifies when Michael witnesses a stranger kill his stepfather. Desperate and afraid, the boys have nowhere else to go but to Joshua’s soccer coach, journalist and ex-Army ranger Diesel Kennedy. When Diesel sees that Michael is injured, he takes them to see Dr. Dani Novak—not only because she’s fluent in American Sign Language, but because he’s drawn to her and everything she stands for. She never refuses Diesel’s requests—because she, too, feels their connection—but she resists him for reasons she doesn’t want to confess. When Dani and Diesel learn that Michael saw the face of his stepfather’s killer, they fear for his safety. But they quickly discover that it’s even worse than they feared: They may have a serial killer on their hands—and all signs point to Michael as the next target. “[A] pedal-to-the-metal thriller with plenty of developed charactersand converging mysteries. . . .

This is the story of how one man came to accept his gradually deteriorating eyesight and eventual sight impairment, despite his fear, bitterness and rage. At first David Lucas is terrified of being perceived as a blind man because he believes that society will see him negatively - it'll just affect too much of his life. He's outraged when a guide dog is first suggested to him, but he is eventually persuaded to take one on... and his life changes instantly. Suddenly, he comes out of the visually impaired closet in the most public of ways, although his path is often strewn with obstacles of all kinds - physical, practical and psychological. This is the story of how David and his guide dog, in partnership, overcame all that life threw at them, so as to be able to step out into a new, much brighter future. The book includes useful information for people facing similar challenges. All kinds of services and products are described and full contact details provided. There is also a postscript which details research into new technologies and other signs of hope for the future. The foreword, by Bernard O'Donoghue from Oxford University, highlights just how special this book is. It is inspirational not only for people directly suffering from any eyesight problems, but also for their relatives and friends - as well as for anybody who likes a 'shaggy dog story'! (Actually, the guide dog in question is rather sleek and well-groomed.) "David tells a refreshingly honest story of how life is for him, which gives an insight into the lives of all visually impaired people. His strength and sense of humour shine through on every page." "David's writing can be sometimes funny, sometimes shocking and he shows no signs of being held back by political correctness." "It's easy to empathise with David's story as we all have to struggle with what life throws at us. This book is informative, educational, funny and, above all, hard to put down.

In this book, Robert Caper provides the reader with an introduction to psychoanalysis focusing explicitly on whether psychoanalysis is part of the sciences, and if not, where it belongs. Many psychoanalysts, beginning with Freud, have considered their discipline a science. In this book, Caper examines this claim and investigates the relationship of theory to observation in both philosophy and the experimental sciences and explores how these observations differ from those made in psychoanalytic interpretation. Building Out into the Dark also explores topics including: the origins of psychoanalysis in the art of medicine the therapeutic effect of psychoanalysis the archaic superego psychoanalysis with the individual and groups what makes psychoanalytic work unique. Building Out into the Dark offers a thoughtful consideration of the nature of psychoanalytic knowledge and how it is gained. The book's accessible and concise style makes it a useful introductory resource for students studying psychoanalysis, for psychotherapists who are curious about the distinction between psychoanalysis and other forms of therapy as well as those interested in placing psychoanalysis in the context of current cultural and intellectual developments.
