This popularity can be observed not only in particular locations, but we can say that this genre has become a real global trend.

You often read this kind of books.  A great group of authors and specialists, mainly psychologists and anthropologists, started to dedicate a great deal of their time to trying to understand the human mind and the behavior of individuals.

  • Virginia Asks What Happens When Readers Are Children?
    Join us with Virginia Castro, our English-Spanish translator, presents “What Happens When Readers Are Children?”. For the benefit of Spanish-speaking children, parents, and adult authors who might consider translating their book(s) during each episode in Spanish. In our  previous episode we discussed how translators try to understand the author’s mind in order to produce a faithful translation. But, being in the middle of the communicative event, shouldn’t we pay the same attention to understanding the readers’ mind as well? 
    AboutourTranslator: Virginia, a literary translator along with her colleagues, is trained to perceive all the semantic load of the words chosen by the author. They struggle to find the best equivalent to use in the translated version. They struggle to find the best equivalent to use in the translated version.

  • Parenting: The Good and the Bad
    Some children are abused by their parents, step-parents, and others. Sometimes others, along with adult victims, become victims of traffiking women & girls who become traumatized victims. This topic spills over to poor parenting. What happens when these children become the victims of poor parenting? Let’s look at what factors contributes to poor child-raising. 
    To put it plainly: Some parents were exposed to incomprehensible damage, & to whom they traumatize? Their children, of course. The negative parenting skills are then carried into adulthood. In turn, it’s creating a society of unhealed adults trying the very best they can to ‘exist’ within the aftermath of a crime that should NOT have occured. 
    There are numerous therapeutic approaches. Here’s one of many positive parenting training that I was introduced back in the mid-1970’s. Slowly their BIG childlike innocent wishes & dreams are replaced by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (Complex PTSD if the abuse is ongoing & prolonged), Personality Disorders, Dissociative Disorders & self-harm: Self-loathing, self-hatred, rage, anger & confusion. And there are therapeutic approaches
    Based on the concepts of Alfred Alder, Dr. Rudolph Dreikurs came up with the concept that all behavior had a purpose or goal. Dr. Dreikurs identified 4 student goals of misbehavior.
    This approach has come to be known as The Parent’s Handbook: Systematic Training for Effectiveness Parenting. STEP has become productive in managing anger, domestic violence, substance abuse, behavior management, engagement and parent parenting programs, and more . . .

    "I would say that this book is an insightful look at Adversity through Blbligal Scripture. Even more so, I would say it's a detailed guide to dealing with the roller coaster of life and the fact that the only thing that we truly have control over is our reactiond and mentality towards responding to the adversities." ~ Antonio Hughes

  • Virginia Answers Why, How, and for What Reasons Are Fictions Written?
    In the previous program we talked about the benefits that book translation can have for authors and how can translators help them and provide a good product.  We referred to the importance of choosing the right vocabulary and phrasing the content in a way that would sound natural for readers of the translated version.
    That step is the key if we want to obtain an accurate translation. Before finding equivalents, before attempting to translate anything, we need to understand the author’s mind.
