Summary: Dealing with the pain of moving?
Comment: Dealing with the pain of moving involves more than just the move itself. This book talks about the emotional trauma, too. Good for anyone who's family is feeling the emotional stress of moving.

Summary: My moving bible
Comment: This book was recommended to me as my husband and I were embarking on a move that was VERY difficult for me. Both of us read it from cover to cover, and have gone back to it....for me to remember I'm not the only one who has had these adjustment problems, and for him to see how he can better support me and get acclimated himself. The book covers every conceivable topic about the personal and emotional transitions that accompany a move, and was easy to read and enormously helpful. Make sure you pick up a copy if you or anyone else you know is making a big move!

Summary: This book deals with the emotional aspects of relocation
Comment: As a co-author of this book I am obviously somewhat prejudiced, but thought potential readers might be interested in the book's origins. In the process of writing a chapter on the effects of relocation on children (available in the Handbook of Child Psychiatry, Vol 4 from J. Wiley)I was struck with the difficulty many children experienced following a move, and with the lack of resources available to help adults or children deal with the stresses of relocation. Some of the best research on the effects of relocation on adults had been done by Audrey McCollum, and so I contacted her and we began to work on a book that could help both individuals and families better prepare for and deal with the stresses of relocation. Nadia Jensen, with a doctorate in early childhook education, joined us to help focus on the needs of young children and on issues related to schools. As a cartoonist, and coauthor of several workbooks, I very much wanted to include cartoons to help lighten the mood and worksheets to help people carry out specific assignments in the process of preparing for their move. As a superb writer and storyteller, Audrey argued for an uninterupted text. Our compromise was to put a cartoon at the beginning of each chapter, and worksheets at the end of each chapter. If you buy this book, I would love to hear from you what you found most helpful in it and what you think we should change in the next edition. Good luck with your move. Stu Copans
