After reconnecting at a mutual friend's wedding and bonding over their shared love of bright socks, Hook + Albert co-founders Adam Schoenberg and Cory Rosenberg realized that, of all the men in attendance, not one had a go-to accessories brand. And so Hook + Albert — the name is a reference to the chain, or "albert," and hook that attached a pocket watch to a gentleman's vest during the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries — launched in 2011 with the aim of creating quality accessories to fill that gap in the market. From lapel flowers and colorful shoelaces to ties and (of course) boldly patterned dress socks, this is gear for guys who truly appreciate the art of dressing.
Belts, bags, sunglasses, and more ways to punch up your look without breaking the bank.
Sport the always-cool color, from your head to your toe
Quirky-cool accessories to make your suit a little less sober.
Wallets, bags, and more from some of the world's top brands.

Robert Ekas has spent the last three years as a hero to anyone who's ever said "fuck the po-lice." He made headlines in 2007 when he flipped the bird to a sheriff's deputy in Clackamas, Ore. after a traffic stop and then did it again a month later during a different stop. Ekas, a former Silicon Valley techie turned mathematician, was detained but not charged for the gesticulation and soon after sued Clackamas County for unspecified damages, claiming the detainment violated his right to free speech. That lawsuit is now over. Ekas settled for $4,000, including $600 in legal fees.
The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office, meanwhile, has said it would offer "First Amendment training" to its deputies from now on.
Here's Mr. Colbert celebrating the right to extend that most expressive of digits.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Banker1 Comfort Liked how everything thought out . Quality of staff like they have traveled and understand some of the issues . Very friendly staff could tell they wanted to please. September 22, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Timeaway Room not up to par, staff great First, the staff and management was great. property manager really tried to make things work. However, the first room we had was not up to par there was stains and marks on the walls and furniture was worn and frayed. Then the next day we came back to the room to find that room/maid service had left the room open/unlocked/propped open all day. Again managment went out of their way to make things right but was not completely happy with the stay all things considered. September 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by shine50 This hotel is beautiful My Husband loved the matress and comforter he would like a matress like it and comforter can you help August 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Alice123 Very economical Got an excellent rate. Location a bit out of the way so have to be on highway all the time. Breakfast buffet generous but cutlery, glasses not always clean - get a new dishwasher! Bar and bar food was better. People very pleasant. Needs an overhaul to restore it to its former glory, but the staff tries their best. August 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lifeontheroad Solid Business stay, needs some updates I travel regularly for work. Love the location and staff. This stay was up and down - Ups were the staff, the high floor, and ease of getting in and out. Downs were - room smelled like someone broke a bottle of cologne and spilled on the carpet, closet smelled musty so had to prop the door open to keep clothes from absorbing odor, and room was next to the Ice Machine. August 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BigBody82 Nice stay I really enjoyed my stay for the most part. The Gentleman that checked me did a superb job. One thing i hated was your elevators. Not sure what was wrong with them but next i come and they are as slow as they were this weekend i will check out early. It was very frustrating. Other than that the room was excellent and the room was very clean. When i went to leave your property i found out my lights were left on and needed jumper cables, so i asked the front desk and was told that you don't have any and she would ask the other staff members. She literally walked in to your back office for 5-10 seconds and came back with I'm sorry I can't help you. To me that's not a big issue that you didn't have any, my problem is that i can guarantee that your maintenance department would have some. If not go purchase some. So it is highly unlikely that the staff member asked anyone but the front desk employees for jumper cables. So I called triple A and $35 later my car started. I would have rather tipped your staff $20 than pay someone else. August 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Debbie0220 Love the Westin Southfield Thank you for another great stay! I was welcomed by a very friendly staff member who welcomed me as a preferred member and give me an awesome upgrade. I had breakfast the next morning. The buffet is fantastic and offers a wide variety of choices. My omelet was delicious and was made by a very nice chef. The staff is always customer oriented and I enjoy staying at the Westin Southfield very much. August 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by vodka23 Ecelleant staff The staff is wonderful and catered to all my needs August 25, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by ESCH Just misses A property in need of some TLC as there are long waits for the elevator, some of the slowest internet speeds I have experienced in any hotel even outside the SPG family, and rooms that need some basic upgrades, particularly loose electrical outlets. The staff tries hard but seems overwhelmed in both the front desk and the restaurant which leaves the guest waiting a lot. Not the hotel for you if you want efficiency. August 23, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by jccal Huge disappointment I am an SPG owner, and stay in Starwood hotels often. This is the poorest run Westin I have ever stayed in. From the start to the finish it was disappointing. It began with my getting the wrong room and the keys not working. I was given another room (keys didn't work again) and people were still in the room! Another day I came back at night and the room had not been made up. When I asked for it to be cleaned i was told there was no one there. Finally someone came and changed the towels but didn't touch the bed or even take away trash. The elevators are very slow. While the staff were nice, the place clearly was badly run compared to any other Westin , or Sheraton I have stayed in. I would never stay here again. August 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JAMM Super comfortable beds and friendly staff Check in and out process is super fast and easy. Staff is very nice and helpful. Rooms are clean and they have the best beds around! lots of pillows and very comfortable. August 22, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jen422 Westin is always our preferred hotel... But this one fell short of the usual standards. We were at the Southfield Westin on a very busy weekend, we came early - because we needed to have adjoining rooms (we were traveling with children) I paid in excess of $700 for 1 night and two guests had to sleep on pull out couches. The indoor pool in very small. Really the hotel just felt dated, the carpets in the halls looked well worn . And for the guests that did have to sleep on the pull outs - the bedding was completely subpar. I will never be back. This is not a good option to not staying downtown. August 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cali2007 Used Points Nice hotel but elevators are really really slow when waiting for one. Hard to get around due to construction in area but not hotel's fault. August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by nana18 Nice Hotel I would recommend this hotel. This is one of the nicest I have been to in MI. August 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by mnm0328 Decent Hotel I thought this was a decent hotel, beautiful features on the main floor. Carpeting throughout the hallway on floor 9 was pretty stained, desk in room was very sticky, shower did not drain properly - not used to standing in shin deep water when I take a shower. Bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Milt26 Great hotel, centrally located I stayed here with my son while on vacation. It's probably best described as a business hotel but we enjoyed its location while seeing different things in the Detroit metro area. Nothing was more than a 20 minute drive away. Extremely well kept, courteous staff, and the typical comfortable Westin guest room. August 12, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by MDeezy Rooms Need Updating Rooms smelled musty and didn't appear to be cleaned well...I had to keep being reassigned to a different room by the hotel staff. The staff members were amazing but the facility is subpar! August 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JustBecause Return to the Heavenly Beds! We booked this room to get a little R&R and that is just what I recieved. Upon check-in the young man at the front desk asked if I was a Starwood Preferred Guest and immediately provided me an upgraded room and I was impressed. He was so attentive and professional and we appreciated his friendly personality. The room was a corner suite however some of the furniture was old and little bruised but did not take away from the overall experience. The star of the show was the Heavenly Bed system and it did not disappoint. We took several naps and enjoyed a peaceful slumber. I fell in love with the Heavenly Beds all over again and I would love to come back very soon. August 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by grateful65 This hotel has great rooms and amenities Very relaxing and comfortable rooms. The room was quite spacious and provided ample amenities. August 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MrFrench Solid option in the Detroit suburbs The Westin Southfield is a somewhat homier version of a typical convention hotel. Staff were all extremely pleasant and helpful and the Southfield had some extras that we were not expecting, like reasonably priced in-house meal options and free garage parking, all refreshing alternatives to other properties that nickel and dime guests for all these additional amenities. Location is somewhat far away for visitors seeking to explore downtown Detroit (about 45 minutes drive time to Comerica Field for example) and the location of the conference facilities on the second floor, so that conventioneers spilled out into the lobby and elevator area was a little annoying, but all in all a good experience. August 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Red94 Hotel was very friendly and accommodating My bellhop was excellent and helpful. The frontt desk was very accommodating July 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ENIQUE THE ROOMS WERE QUIET AND COMFORTABLE THE WESTIN OFFERED VERY QUIET AND COMFORTABLE ROOMS. I KNOW THAT THEIR WERE GUEST ON BOTH SIDES OF ME, HOWEVER I HEARD NO NOISE OR OUTSIDE DISTUBANCES. July 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bags2go Wonderful Stay I stayed at your hotel on a business trip and I must say as a repeat visitor I experienced the same satisfaction as I did the first time there in early February of this year. KUDOS to the hotel and staff for making it so pleasurable.... July 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Daimo Nice Place to Stay I've stayed at this hotel many times for work and for leisure. There is free parking in an enclosed garage which is nice when the weather is inclement. The front desk staff is very courteous and helpful and the hotel always smells clean and pleasant. I have never had an issue with the room being dirty or uncomfortable. This hotel is also close to many nice restaurants, so that is an added bonus. Overall, no complaints, just a nice place to stay! July 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Daimo Great Location I stay at this hotel when traveling for work and it is pretty consistent. I have always had a clean comfortable room and helpful staff. It is about 23 minutes from downtown Detroit and Southfield has an nice variety of restaurants to choose from. This is my Go-To hotel for Detroit! July 29, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lifeontheroad Westin Southfield first stay, nothing overly good or bad. An average stay at an OK hotel. Hoping things get better as the hotel was recommended to me. July 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jk53 Had a problem with the cleanness of our room. On checking in to our room I did find sticky spots that where on the bathroom floor and also one on the desk.They where a tan color and very obvious. I myself cleaned them up. Since the refrigerator in the bar area wasn't working my wife called for extra ice buckets and no one delivered or called. I have been at Westin's from Hawaii to Costa Rica and by far this has been my worst experience. July 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by xuejksjhtakdfg SPG benefits falling compared to ... In the past I was offered a choice of amenities when checking in. At this hotel no such offer was made. For a large hotel there was no complimentary coffee service in lobby or quality coffee offered for a charge. There was a Starbucks style café in the lobby, but it was closed for the weekend.. July 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Eric89 Westin Stay I was very pleased with the Westin Hotel. I really enjoyed staying here. Very pleasant experience. July 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Freqtravelermjb Excellent customer service Meeting room/conference facilities excellent and the staff was superb - from Fred in Sales to the Banquet Manager to the AV guy to the servers and food service people - all were extremely customer focused. July 25, 2014

Endogenous liquidity and defaultable bonds
This paper studies the liquidity of defaultable corporate bonds that are traded in an over- the-counter secondary market with search frictions. Bargaining with dealers determines a bond's endogenous liquidity, which depends on both the firm fundamental and the time-to-maturity of the bond. Corporate default and investment decisions interact with the endogenous secondary market liquidity via the rollover channel. A default/investment-liquidity loop arises: Earlier endogenous default worsens a bond's secondary market liquidity, which amplifies equity holders' rollover losses, which in turn leads to earlier endogenous default. Thus, our model characterizes the full inter-dependence between liquidity premium and default premium in understanding credit spreads for corporate bonds. We also study the optimal maturity implied by the model, and an extension where worsening secondary market liquidity feeds back to endogenous under- investment.

Blacks vie for UTD presidency
| 2/7/2013, 4:30 a.m.
Aronowitz says Ingram is strongest candidate
Its less than two weeks [Feb. 19] before members of the United Teachers of Dade will cast their vote for a new slate of officers. Their term becomes effective at the end of the current school year. And on Tuesday evening, candidates for all of the offices assembled for a meet and greet, followed by a Q&A session for those running for president, vice-president and secretary/treasurer. In terms of the top office, there are five candidates running for president: Dr. James Bush, III; Federick Fed Ingram [the current UTD secretary/treasurer]; Artie Leichner; Kimberly Robinson; and Ceresta Smith. A sixth candidate, Blanca Rosa Rodriguez, has indicated interest in the position but did not submit information to the UTD executive office. Karen Aronowitz, UTD president since 2005, says her biggest job has been working as a talent scout. I am always looking for ways that our members can represent the best of the union to our community, she said. And while there are some who would like to push unions aside both locally and nationally, we are still an important entity. Teachers serve on the frontline for students and for what happens in the classroom. If we really believe that education is important then we have to make teaching an an attractive profession. That means properly compensating those in education. The three Black candidates running for president include: Bush, 57, Ingram, 39 and Smith, in her 50s. All three are veterans in the field of education. Bush, a 24-year educator, and graduate of Miami Northwestern [1974], Bethune-Cookman University [1979], Nova Southeastern [1984] and Smith Chapel Bible University [2004], says hes running to provide leadership and to expand my reach as an advocate of economic development for union members . . . and direct services to youth. I aim to provide the kind of leadership that will ensure that the unions basic function is promoted and achieved. I have 30 years of leadership experience and my voice is known among national leaders throughout this country. As president I will make a difference. His platform includes the following: transparency; true member representation and political influence; and growth. Smith, a native of Iowa, earned her B.A. in Literature from American University in Washington, D.C. Her platform includes: affordable healthcare; transparency and open access; development of a living wage; equitable and ethical evaluations; and an end to reduction in force initiatives. We need to re-energize our unions with aggressive local, state and national leadership that will fight the bi-partisan privatization of public schools on the ground level, she said. As president of UTD, I could have a greater reach than what I do now in terms of educating and organizing the rank and file . . . UTD leadership would make it easier to engage folks in direct actions to promote and protect quality and equity in public education both for teachers and their learners. Smith also said she wants to see an end to the overemphasis on high-stakes testing, which directly serves the school-to-prison pipeline. Ingram, a graduate of Miami Jackson and Bethune-Cookman University, was also the Miami-Dade Teacher of the Year in 2006 and was elected as the UTD secretary/treasurer in 2007. He says teachers need a voice in public education. Teachers have to advocate for whats right in the classrooms and what happens between the family, school and the community, he said. Its important to have a new brand of leadership in this changing world and to have someone who understands the Miami story and its fiber someone from this community. Im running to lead this community to greater heights. Many of our children live with surrogate parents so we have to do more than educate them we must meet them where they are and provide alternative tracks for those who are not going to college. We also have to get back to providing moral education and character building. Ingrams platform includes: restructuring the class day to accommodate students who have infants or must work to provide income for their families; making sure that the union works with a balanced budget; advocating for quality in the classroom; and creating a culture of learning. Ingram has also garnered the endorsement of Aronowitz in his quest for the presidency of UTD. I believe that Fed is our strongest candidate primarily because I think he wants to do whats in the best interest of the unions membership, she said. I am concerned that the other candidates are more focused on their own self interests. Some of what they are saying in terms of their motivation for running I find highly suspect. UTD has an estimated membership of 16,000 and is comprised of teachers, para-professionals; clerical workers and security monitors.

What do you ladies suggest for a 12 year old who is having trouble understanding what tense to use words in a sentence. He is having a lot of trouble this school year with past tense, present tense, and future tense. He is having trouble writing sentences as well. Thank you.
12 year old son having trouble with past tense,present and future
Comments (1)
I'm not (yet) home schooling, but I taught English before having my baby. It depends a lot on why he's having trouble and how he learns. If he can easily tell you that "taught" is the past tense of "teach" but just can't figure out when to use which tense, try drawing time lines. If he is a visual learner, it may help him to place different events on the line while you guide him to use the right tense. You could use his life (future would be things he thinks or hopes will happen) or tie it into a subject area by using the events in a book or history. After that, use his practice sentences that he's now struggling with, Talk through where on the line the go, so what tense to use. Gradually have him do more and more on his own.
I hope that helps a little. I don't know you or your son, so this is just a guess about what might help.

Mom to Four dancing Princesses!!!� Makenna (10), Rhiannon (7), Jorja (5) & Shallen (1)
yes, nice pictures, she is a cute little blondie!
DaMomma of Kirstie 17, Aussie 7
Her name is Alice Lynn, she was born on August 18th @ 8:54am by c-section. She was 7 lbs 10 oz and 20 inches, this was my third c-section so it was scheduled. So we knew she was coming. The surgery seemed long and the Doctor was very surprised at how small she was. She really didn't want to come out it was a lot of work for the doctors to her out. I got out the of the hospital on Friday at about noon. I was so glad to be home.
Abby and Oliver are excited for her to be home they might just love her to death though, very touchy feely. I'm pretty sore and tired but managing okay.
She sleep so much I don't remember my other ones sleeping this much. I'm trying to breastfeed again I hope it works out okay for me this time around.
I can't think of what else to write and baby is crying so talk to everyone later.

I've been having a problem with Safari bookmarks for the past week or two:
1) The "+" sign previously added pages as a bookmark, now it adds as a Reading List item and I do command D insted to add a bookmark.
2) Adding a page to Bookmarks is extremely slow & I get the spinning wheel each time.
3) Moving folders around with the Favorites or Bookmarks Menu is slow & also spins.
I'm on a Mac OS 10.7. Safari version 6.1
Me too Anne. Started a couple months ago.
Safari 6.1.1 and OSX 10.7.5
I also have the occasionable "Empty Tabs" bug.

Agent18 Eco iPhone Shield
4 Recommendations
Danielle's recommendation
I love my i-phone. I am very happy with my Agent18 case. It is made from recycled materials. I could find it at the Apple store. Before I bought it, I checked on line and didn't see much. Now there are so many to choose from! Wow. I got natural because they didn't have black - but I really like the natural. Surprisingly - it never looks dirty
Three's recommendation
Seems to work extremely well, it cushions the blow on the phone when you drop it, which I tend to do with mush regularity, but who would have thought that the iphone needed a condom?
My Collections:
dieterjk39's recommendation
Awesome iPhone case
lulu5156's recommendation
Give a round of applause to iphone for making a Eco friendly phone. Keeping are planet clean should be a consideration for all manufactures.

Police return to victim's homeJanuary 31,2013
SHEFFIELD — Vermont State Police investigating the abduction and killing of a Sheffield grandmother more than two years ago have returned to her home to search the property.
Mary "Pat" O'Hagan, 78, disappeared from her home in September 2010. Her body was found nearly a month later by hunters in a remote area 10 miles away.
No arrests have been made in her killing.
WCAX-TV reported that detectives searched her property Tuesday to see if anything may have been overlooked.
In November a Vermont state police detective testified that Michael Norrie, a Sheffield man held on other charges, "was confessing to part of the murder" when he stopped cooperating with authorities.

Elie Saab Fall Haute Couture – For his fall 2013 haute couture collection, Elie Saab opened with a fiery section of ruby-red gowns covered in carmine sequins. The rest of the color palette focused on jewel toned hues as well with a procession of emerald-green, amber and sapphire blue making its way on the runway. The womanly silhouettes glitter with shapes that accentuate the waist-line while gowns are draped in chiffon. Romantic as ever, the Elie Saab bride closed the show with three bridesmaids in tow, wearing a silver wedding dress evoking the light of the moon.
Every gown is simply gorgeous! Each one took my breath away and had me oohing and ahhing. A great designer with an even more beautiful collection. Love. Them. All.
Beautiful collection
Love Elie Saab

- A parent used to try to help his child, age eight, understand and agree with the parent's decisions. This father had had a painful childhood himself, and he kindly did not wish the same for his son. The boy would go along with decisions he liked, but learned to rage violently against the others until father gave in. He typically refused to cooperate with bedtime. He would say, "I don't want to go to bed," and then he would ignore or fight with father.
- "So I used to think, 'Oh, his body knows what it needs better than I do,' and leave him alone."
- "But now when he gets oppositional and combative I move in closer and give empathy but also bring in limits, allow fewer choices and less freedom."
- How's that working?
- "His rages are shorter and less frequent."
- I notice that formerly 'fun' father also seems calmer, less reactive, more confident, more serious, and makes fewer crisis calls between sessions.
- How's that feel?
- He looks at me seriously. "It's hard work."
- This father who previously worked hard to avoid his son's frightened and frightening feelings, has stepped up to the plate, taken charge and given his son the parental attention, limits and guidance the child has been both demanding AND rejecting at the same time [classic example of children's Ambivalent attachment style.]
- It was as if by sharing so much inner confusion and chaos the son was saying, "I feel too much in charge of myself and need help. But I also will reject help, so you should expect to feel as confused as I do. Help me please!!" Parents and caretakers must then rise above the child's helpless logic, see the big picture, take over, and free them both from the old stuck pattern.
Category Archives: Avoidant / Dismissive
DOUBLE-BIND — when families are stuck in paradox
- Sometimes a parent will bring in a child – natal, adopted, foster, etc. — who functions well enough in school and in public, but who has recurrent rages toward the parent at home. Rages only at home, and only at this parent.
- The parent is typically a very nice and kind parent – undeserving of any violent treatment (assuming anyone anywhere is deserving of violent treatment.) So the parent is mystified. "What's going on? She needs help!"
- A case example walked into my office in Ontario soon after I finished graduate school. A single father complained about his nine year-old daughter. "Sometimes she is fine, but suddenly she'll be frustrated or upset by some little thing, and she starts attacking me or trying to break something precious to me! I feel so helpless. Why does she do that!?"
- Does she say anything? I asked.
- "Mostly just screaming. Sometimes she'll say odd things like, "I don't deserve to be in this family!" or "You hate me!" or "I hate you!" or "You don't love me!" What should I do!?
- This question, "What should I do!?" is a red flag for most psychodynamic therapists. We know so well that our goal is not to give advice but to help reflect, help with process. However "What should I do?!" is one of my professional weaknesses.
- Too often I head off into advices:
- Try to not reassure, but give Empathy for how she must be feeling…."I tried that."
- …and be in charge of yourself so there are not TWO dysregulated people in the room…
- "I did that."
- ….and remember that the more you want to get away from her, the more she needs you nearby….
- "I remembered that."
- …..
- Finally I heard myself rattling off 'advice' to an emotionally exhausted parent who needed my empathy for himself – my empathy for how he was feeling, my empathy for how hard he was trying, and my empathy for his own unresolved past traumas.
- I apologized.
- Beginning with the last item, this father's own traumatic past left him determined to keep things positive for his own child. He dealt with his despair by disallowing any ambivalent feelings of his own such as resentment, until it burst and he would lash out verbally, after which he felt horrible.
- Thus when he felt frustrated at his child's blind, out-of-control behavior, he would bury his frustration so that it came out sideways – tearful pleadings with his daughter to "Tell me what's wrong so I can help you!!" and "What is it you want!?"
- And when she of course could not explain herself on a conscious level, but kept expressing her sense of shame and worthlessness preverbally and violently, he would eventually blow up in exasperation, desperately wanting to help.
- This explosion would leave him burdened with shame and fear that he had wounded his child. However it sometimes had the paradoxical effect of calming his child. At last she could finally see in this repressed father some real feelings she could trust.
- I now had a helpful map of their double-bind. In a double-bind, people are stuck in a dilemma: feeling bad if they act, and equally bad if they do nothing. Lose-lose, what do you choose?
- Father could try to be direct about his own anger and resentment, but then would beat himself up for expressing negative feelings to a child, his suffering daughter no less. Or he could keep repressing his own resentments and continue to feel unable to connect to her in her own struggles.
- The daughter was also in a double bind: When I get scared that I'm not lovable, my dad doesn't get it and wants me to explain it and tell him what I need. But I have no idea how to articulate that stuff – I'm just a kid! — so my sense of being not good enough increases….(begin again)….
- Finally, as the therapist, I also enter the double bind (though I am the one who can best reflect productively on the experience of being there.) Heck, I offered this father my best ideas and advice, yet was repeatedly dismissed with "I tried that."
- Rather than start arguing with father about whether or not he 'tried that' the proper way, my path forward is to recognize my privileged position. I am experiencing what the father AND his daughter experience – frustration, helplessness, hopelessness and the resentment at doing ones best and receiving no results, appreciation or recognition. If my 'best' was not good enough for father, perhaps I am not good enough.
- When I can reflect on this, perhaps right away or later in clinical consultation, I feel honored to have been allowed to experience their stuck system for myself. I am grateful for an inside view of the emotional challenge which faces father: to find a way to tolerate standing with old intolerable feelings and reflecting from that place until it is safe for his daughter to recognize her own feelings in him, allowing her to sense (over time) that there is less need to maintain the fierce, defensive walls between them.
- This is the therapeutic potential of allowing ourselves to sit inside any client's paralyzing double-bind. Just not for too long.
Maintaining empathy for an aggressive, controlling child client.
Increasing control is a common and logical response to rising anxiety. Yet sometimes reducing anxiety by increasing control can get out of hand, hurting relationships through pain and confusion. At a meta-social level, author Alan Johnson points out that men in a patriarchy find the fastest path to control is violence. ("Don't make me hurt you…" "She threatened to take the kids, and I lost it….")
Children can also project commands, threats, and other attempts to find safety through control. My first experience with such a child occurred early in my job at a Canadian mental health clinic.
A lovely but angry nine-year-old girl was brought in by her legal guardian. As usual, I asked the safe adult attachment figure – in this case the guardian — to stay in the room with us. [The four major benefits to this will be listed in a future essay.] And as usual, I accepted the child's symptoms as clues to what she had been through. I knew from her history that she had grown up between divorced parents. She visited one parent who would avoid her strong feelings as much as possible (resembling the "dismissive" adult attachment style). And she lived with the other parent who treated her sometimes warmly and sometimes coldly, depending on her own mood (similar to a "preoccupied" adult attachment style.)
Consequently, the girl's rude demands and commands in session were accepted as invaluable clues to her own attempts to make sense of her confusing history. The challenge for me was to respond with Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy — versus either opposition or cooperation. (Note: it is best to avoid Playfulness with an upset child. It can sound a lot like sarcasm.)
With children like this girl, who bullies, my initial hypothesis (to be tested) is usually that she is trying to put her anger and frustration into others, where she can observe it outside herself – giving her a rare moment's relief from experiencing those feelings within, 24/7. Peter Fonagy in the U.K. explains in a brilliant essay that the bullying person can experience brief relief from their own internalized shame and terror by forcing those feelings onto another person, whom they can then attack, drive away or even kill in an attempt to be rid of the feeling forever. (Note the routine daily news of murdered women in patriarchal societies.)
I did not have long to wait.
"Robert! Sit over in that chair!"
I let my jaw drop and outwardly reflected my experience of HER inner sadness and scaredness which she was trying to relieve by commanding ME. Matching her 'vitality affect' (Daniel Stern's fine term), I used her commanding voice, but my words.
"You want me to change chairs! And if I do, you hope that you feel better! And I so want you to feel better!"
At first she registered only my failure to obey. "Go!! Sit there!!"
I continued to keep my voice loud, like hers, but my words empathic, like mine. "And if I don't sit there, you'll get more upset!! Oh dear!! I feel terrible!" I appeared visibly and audibly distressed — loud and vulnerable and without mocking sarcasm. I was reflecting from a stuck place, a spot she had experienced so many times in her short life.
"GO!! SIT THERE!!" The only response to non-compliance this girl had ever learned was her parent's escalation.
Without mocking (practice this), I continued to mirror her affect (her outer expression of her inner feeling) and reflect on how it was affecting me as I cared about her. This ability to reflect is something she should have learned early in life, instead of being made to feel ashamed of her own feelings.
Me: "Now I am stuck!! I want you to be happy, because I like you, but if I don't do what you want, I'm scared that I'll disappoint you and then you won't like ME!!!"
Being one-third my size, she did not try to push me, but she did try the other parent's response: abandonment. Looking away she announced, "I'm ignoring you."
I then shared my sadness at feeling ignored by her, whom I liked, and said in a hopeful, lonely voice that I hoped she would talk to me again soon! (This modeled for her how to articulate a complex relationship with feeling. I suspect she had never heard this before.)
She suddenly became vulnerable herself. "You're scaring me, Robert!…..You know how come I'm afraid of you?"
Me: "How come you're afraid of me?!" (Repeating her phrase tells her both that I'm listening, and avoids distracting from the huge window she is about to open onto her own thoughts and feelings.)
"Because," she nearly spit in self-protective anger, "I WAS TREATED LIKE A LITTLE STUPID IDIOT MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE!!!"
I quickly reflected my feelings, while matching her vitality affect. "I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR THAT!!!" And I continued to share my own affective response to the thought of a child being treated like a 'little stupid idiot' her whole entire life. Almost wailing I said, "Oh! I am sad to think of you being treated that way!!"
Then, I introduced my curiosity: "What did you do?! How did you cope?" (Note: It sometimes requires a cool hand at the tiller to steer away from knee-jerk reassurances such as, "You're NOT an idiot! How could anybody treat you like that!!?" But reassurance shuts down feelings, while I wanted to articulate her need for a way out – What shall I do? How shall I cope!?)
Now she deepened into her memory but still could not differentiate her inner life (remembering the past) from her outer life (being here now). She could not yet reflect from the safe emotional present, as most adults do. She was still emotionally in the past, stuck in the memories and trying to manage her old feelings by making others change ("instrumental" use of affect) instead of describing her feelings to deepen connection ("signal" use of affect).
Suddenly she glowered fiercely at me. "If you ever hit anybody in my family – I'll shove that notepad down your throat!!"
That was low-hanging emotional fruit, for which I was extremely grateful. It is important to not waste it with the following abstractions: ('How do you think that makes ME feel!?') would demand of her a complex ability to feel empathy for others. ('I can teach you to relax and let go of those old hurts.') would go prematurely to cognitive solutions while she is stuck in a state of highly dysregulated emotion; I would be abandoning her in freefall with her scary feelings. Such a response would be congruent with van der Kolk's theme of The Body Keeps the Score, emphasizing meditation and other pulse-slowing approaches to stored childhood trauma. Yet this path would be premature to where she was in this moment. I still had to establish safety, and co-regulation of her affect.
Accepting the low-hanging emotional fruit ("…I'll shove that notepad down your throat") I match her harsh vitality affect again: "(gasp!) Somebody shoved something down your throat!!"
Immediately she is able to reflect on the past, protected by the empathy I am giving her in the present.
"Instead of spanking me every time I was naughty I had to bite into the bar of soap and chew it and swallow it! And I didn't get any water!"
She is tearing up. And as I imagine being her being made to eat soap, my own eyes fill, I bite my lip, and my mouth turns deeply down in empathy.
She looks at the ceiling. "And if you cry, Robert, I'll burst out into tears!!!"
For the rest of our session we had trust. I had helped her feel understood beneath all her fierce threats, by responding only to the feelings under the behavior, and responding preverbally (voice, facial expression, mirroring affect) instead of with cognitive insight.
Co-regulated at last, this aggressive child was finally free to reflect on her life from a safe, outside perspective, something parents usually, unconsciously, provide to children from birth onward.
Crossing Adult with Child Attachment Styles — some thoughts
While preparing for an upcoming conference presentation, I created a matrix which crossed the four adult attachment styles (Autonomous, Dismissive, Preoccupied, and Unresolved) with the four childhood attachment styles (Secure, Avoidant, Ambivalent, and Disorganized.) You may recall that each childhood style tends — without intervention — to lead into the corresponding adult style.
From this Vermont therapy practice, I have collected examples to fill each of the matrix blanks — Dismissive style parent seen with Avoidant style child, etcetera. I don't have much to fill the Securely attached child column, as they rarely have need of services. But the other columns are busy. A brief look at the patterns:
Dismissive style adults seen with Avoidant style children shows a combination in which both adult and child are working hard to avoid relationship and emotional vulnerability. They seem to benefit most not only from acceptance and empathy, but also from my "speaking for" them to each other. "Sorry, Dad, about what happened yesterday — I just didn't now how to approach you to fix it, so I didn't say anything…" That makes sense, as all their practice has been at avoiding sharing their own inner awareness with another person. "I'm fine."
Dismissive style adults seen with Ambivalent style children are another matter. The adult is trying hard to avoid conflict, while the child is busy seeking conflict in a bid to feel safe through control of the people and objects around them. They tend to present with the parent intimidated and the child frequently dysregulated. They benefit most from support for the adult to find their voice, step up to the plate and be in charge again. Kids need parents (safe parents) and they need the parent to be in charge. Because of child development realities, that's the only way kids are going to be okay.
Preoccupied style adults, on the other hand, are looking for conflict, due to so much difficulty resolving issues from their earlier years. Through no conscious fault of their own, the presenting problem is often one of drama. One parent who daily clashed with his nine year-old asked me in hushed tones whether I thought that his daughter might need an exorcism. (I didn't.) Unfortunately the dramas are rarely resolved, because they tend to be emotionally founded in unspoken hurts from the past. Only when this is interpreted do the problems in the present lose their power and people become less stuck.
Combine a Preoccupied parent figure with an Avoidant style child, and you have a chase-and-evade dyad, not unlike some unhappy marriages. But a Preoccupied style adult raising an Ambivalent style child will be a dyad often in flames — each person trying aggressively to force recognition and appreciation from the other, while both were denied these things long ago.
Not to paint too bleak a picture, the Autonomous style adult can usually make gradual headway with both Avoidant and Ambivalent style children. Why? They can rely on their own "secure emotional base", and their own positive "internal working model" to carry them through long periods of the child's dysregulation — while continuing to project their image of the child as capable and important. That is an important image which children need from adults — a projection of themselves which they can absorb, test, push-against, even reject, but gradually internalize.
The Disorganized style child is usually the most challenging of the childhood styles, due to learning few ways to survive unpredictable maltreatment other than creating immediate chaos in the moment. Parenting this style requires some skill and many outside supports.
What Can We Do About Lying?
Q. What can we do about lying?
A. Often a child's lying, like cheating, shoplifting, stealing, evasion and many other 'hiding' behaviors, is rooted in a felt need to hide themselves. From a sense of shame about their own worthiness, a child (or adult) might say if they could, "I'm not good enough to be known for who I really am, and that means my (new) parents would get rid of me if they really, truly knew how worthless I feel. So eventually, when people really see me, then I will have to get my needs met by sneaking. Under the table. On the sly. By hook or by crook."
With adopted children, this can flow from a nagging fear that what happened once can always happen again — being "given away" because they were "not good enough to keep". So they are sure they must practice surviving on their own, under the radar, for when the nightmare of abandonment happens again. With incest survivors, the unconscious need to hide ones identity from others can feel like life or death.
One time an adoptive mother with her own horrid childhood lied to me in session. I had suggested some communication exercises for her family. She replied, "Oh we do that all the time at home, let's just move on."
You do?
"Yeah, let's just move on."
I'm curious. When do you do it?
"Well…..we really don't, but I just told you we did so you'd move on to something else," and she grinned like her teenager whom she complained was compulsively lying.
(From my perspective this was solid gold.)
"You lied to me!" I exclaimed in mock horror, opening my eyes wide.
"No, I didn't," she giggled. "I told you the truth in the end." She was 46.
"You LIED to me! And you ENJOYED it!!" I played this like a hooked sailfish.
"No, come on, I didn't LIE!" (i.e., Finally someone caught me!)
"And now you're lying about LYING to me!! Like a TEENAGER!! WHOA!!!" At these words she collapsed into giggles.
This playful incident became part of our therapy history. We referenced it many times as a crucial deepening of our therapeutic relationship: the day she was caught in a lie, but not shamed for it.
What would be an equivalent response to a child's lying?
Dan Hughes once role-played a nice response during a training. In the role-play he neither shamed the "child", nor accepted the lie — he found a balance: "Hey, you're giving me baloney! You got any cheese in there? C'mon, hand it over!"
The message: 1. You're trying to put one over on me….2. I won't even PRETEND to buy it….3. And I sure like you!
This good message offers the child both a challenge to the lie (I'm not stupid) and face-saving through humor (I still like you). We can use this formula with teens and adults as well.
An exception might be when the child is lying from within deep depression. In children this can appear as fierce hostility. "I never took anything! (while hiding stolen item behind back.) I hate you! Get out of here! You're stupid!!" At those times responding with playfulness will sound to them like sarcasm. I will cover responding to depressive lying in another blog — it can require some reflection on our part to find the voice we (and they) need.
What are the four attachment styles of children? 1978 and 1986
The perplexing relational behavior of alienated children was first demystified by the insightful research of Mary Ainsworth. Her brilliant Strange Situation study findings were published in 1978 and remain relevant today. She correctly identified the various responses of different toddlers upon seeing their parent walk out of a room and then return. Additionally a strange woman simply came in, sat, and went out — at two specific times.
Ainsworth identified three childhood attachment styles, eventually called Secure, Avoidant, and Ambivalent. Her explanations were later enhanced by Mary Main (1986), who, with her assistant Judith Solomon, recognized that a leftover, chaotic fourth group (10%) had developed no patterns to make sense of themselves or their world: "Disorganized" style.
Knowing the four attachment styles of children does not guarantee an emotional connection — a quick fix. But it does provide a useful explanation of what may be going on in the child's head — their inner life of thoughts and feelings. This in turn lets us parents and helpers feel accurate empathy for the struggling child's difficult inner life. (There is empathy, and there is accurate empathy.) It also allows us to set limits and name our expectations with some degree of confidence that we are doing no harm. We now know how to understand and repair the child's shame when it becomes triggered. The combination of accurate empathy plus safe limit-setting gradually unlocks emotional doors to trusting. Still, the path to close, intersubjective connection with a child may be easier for some adults than for others.
A dismissive attachment style in an adult
An adult client, a professional man who was several years into his new marriage, came into therapy struggling with "Who am I?" After a short time I found he would change the subject each time I got close to focusing on his thoughts and feelings. This is typical of an adult who avoids placing any attention or importance on their own inner life — an adult with "dismissive attachment style".
In such cases I usually ask whether the client's partner might join us. It helps get to core issues when I have a second safe person on board. He agreed to ask her. She was a social worker.
Next session the spouse joined us, saying, "I'm not sure why I came today." My client started chattering about some other topic — his usual response to anything risky.
Suddenly it struck me that he was avoiding his thoughts and feelings because she was a social worker. I shared my thinking: "I wonder if you brought her along so she and I would talk shop and stay safely away from your emotional stuff."
A home run with that — and it laid the groundwork for future sessions. Before leaving he warned me, "I might go to my grave without dealing with my feelings." I replied, "Yes, but that could get old for her. Spouses like their partners available to work on issues together."
Good work followed.
