Stacks has no issues with getting money, but finding the right woman to satisfy his insatiable appetite for sex is a different story. With XXX porn star moves in the bed, the hood-raised bad boy craves a soft-skinned partner in crime. Enter Ava, a female version of Stacks. She’s always hustling, and definitely down for whatever. Messed over by most men she comes in contact with, Ava drops her guard, instantly becoming attracted to Stacks’ power in the streets and the legendary sex game he is rumored to put down. The two like-minded freaks soon hook up, taking drug-slanging and sheet-banging to whole different level.

"Ho deciso che la vita va vissuta fino in fondo e perciò ho scritto questo libro per arrivare a te. Non so cosa mi aspetterà, ma io ci proverò. E queste pagine percorreranno dei chilometri fino a finire nelle tue mani. Guarderai il libro e deciderai se aprirlo, sederti e leggerlo. Oppure no. Poi deciderai se metterlo in mezzo ai tuoi fumetti in salotto e confonderlo nella massa, o portarlo con te per tornare fino a noi. A prenderci per portarci con te. Non ti vedrà nessuno, non ti troveranno mai. Io ti nasconderò nei rifugi, come quelli del vero Diabolik e costruiremo botole mortali, pareti mobili con scariche elettriche, lanciafiamme ed esplosivi nascosti userò aghi narcotizzanti, coltelli, gas soporiferi o mortali... Ci difenderemo da tutto. Volo un po' con la fantasia? Bè, l'ho sempre fatto..."

Exposure therapy is the most effective psychological treatment for anxiety, yet many clinicians lack confidence in their ability to implement it effectively while keeping clients engaged. This indispensable book provides guidelines for conducting exposure-based interventions and overcoming common roadblocks. Drawing on cutting-edge theory and research, the authors walk clinicians through assessment and treatment planning and demonstrate a wealth of specific exposure exercises. Chapters are organized around common anxiety triggers that may cut across different diagnoses, making it easier to tailor treatment to each individual's needs. Several reproducible handouts and forms can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.

Helping patients confront situations or stimuli that produce pathological fear/anxiety is the basis of most therapeutic approaches. Emphasizing evidence-based treatment guidelines across diagnosed anxiety disorders, Abramowitz (psychology and psychiatry, U. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) and coauthors at the University of Wyoming and Mayor Clinic review historical, conceptual, and research perspectives on exposure therapy for anxiety-related problems; triggers with corresponding treatment plans and examples; and ancillary problems clinicians face, e.g., exposure for patients taking medication for anxiety, adaptations for children and other client populations, and ethical concerns.
