{"product_id":"reynards-mirror-carolyn-crawford-davis-9780692830970","title":"Reynard's Mirror: Reflections on Teaching Oppositional Adolescents; Letters to a British Psychoanalyst","description":"In a series of witty and moving letters sent to a British psychoanalyst, a California special ed teacher, shares her vivid emotional tales about creating relationships with her very difficult and disturbed adolescents...there is Dawson, a heavy metal fan who has been hospitalized three times for nervous breakdowns; Kent, a bristly 17 year old who wants to have a kindergarten day at school; and, Sonny who loves to shock and bully. They are oppositional, stubborn and refuse to learn. Reynard's Mirror carries the reader on a roller coaster ride of coping with 11 students, their parents, and the educational bureaucracy. For anyone thinking of entering the field of special education or even of just working with difficult adolescents, this is an eye-opening peek into the joyful, exhausting, fulfilling and heartbreaking world awaiting them. Reynard's Mirror is not a book that offers recipes. Instead, it offers process, specifically, that of coping with feelings of hatred, love, disgust and delight. Those who struggle with alien feelings of guilt, anger or denial will find relief in these pages. This memoir of a teacher's reality may help others recognize the sources of their own confusing emotions and find forgiveness for themselves and their oppositional adolescents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carolyn Crawford Davis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0692830979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692830970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah \u0026amp; Raleigh Crawford \u0026amp; Associates\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Carolyn Crawford Davis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48174885077247,"sku":"9780692830970","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ed86cbbb-857e-4b2d-ac9e-4e43ee736229.jpg?v=1771331160","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reynards-mirror-carolyn-crawford-davis-9780692830970","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
