Bipolar Disorder: A Cognitive Therapy Approach

5 reviews
Cory F. Newman, Robert L. Leahy, ...

American Psychological Association (APA), 2001

Excellent
A complement to recent "encyclopedias" on the subject, this is an outstanding guide for the layman. More writing of this kind will be necessary to help understand this plague of our times. But this is basic, core material. This layman highly recommends it.

Jennifer Wilgocki, Marcia Kahn Wright, ...

American Psychological Association (APA), 2002

Great for Kids and Adults
I work at a proctor care agency. This book has been a great tool for helping children who are in Foster Care feel normal again. It's also been great to help the foster parents stop and realize all the different emotions and feelings their foster children are working through.

Sex And Love In Intimate Relationships

6 reviews
Robert W. Firestone, Lisa A. Firestone, ...

American Psychological Association (APA), 2005

Realizing a Lifetime of Love and Sexual Inimacy
This is an important book which, if understood and incorporated, can improve our capacity for both sexual pleasure and love. It is sad how often so many of us assume a diminishing capacity for love and sexual pleasure is inevitable, and acquiesce to an insidious internal process that robs us of one of life's greatest pleasures. Sex and Love in Intimate Relationships resoundly demonstrates that we ...

Shirley Day

American Psychological Association (APA), 2008

An Awsome Read Aloud!
This sensitive, whimsical tale of coping with ones uniqueness is one of my favorite stories for my kindergarten students. The language is rich and descriptive. The illustrations are vivid and immaginative. My students laugh at the funny parts and they understand the heart of the story-regardless of ones differences, be they bespectacled or of uncommon name, each person is valuable just by ...

Insight Guide Italy (Italy, 4th ed)

Emily Hatchwell

Apa Productions, 1998

Essential if you are driving
I agree with everything the prior reviewer wrote. I think I bought this in the late 1990s at an roadside Autogrill in Italy. It is essential to find those small villages and nooks and crannies when driving, especially because the signage in the country is smaller and arrives and vanishes much more quickly than we are used to in the States.

The Bedford Handbook: Updated With Mla's and Apa's 1999 Guidelines

Diana Hacker

Bedford Books, 2000

Hacker lite, but not light enough
Diana Hacker has an English comp book for any possible usage, she grinds them out every few years. My college requires me to use this book as a handbook. That is unfortunate. Of course, this book provides a basic explanation of English composition, grammar, documentation, and document design and critical reading. However, the attempt in this case is to present something that is lighter than ...

The Writer's Brief Handbook, APA Update (4th Edition)

6 reviews
Alfred Rosa

Longman, 2002

This is the best handbook on the market!
This book is the best on the market - I highly recommend it to all students in high school and college -- and it is a must for every person who writes in business! It has everything you need to know about professional writing from the sentence to the essay or research paper, as well as resumes and letters. It should be added to the desk collection along with the dictionary and thesarus. I love ...

What Therapists Don't Talk About And Why: Understanding Taboos That Hurt Us And Our Clients

7 reviews
Kenneth S. Pope, Janet L. Sonne, ...

American Psychological Association (APA), 2006

Thank you, Dr. Pope, for courageously writing about taboos in therapy!
In graduate training, we are trained to follow ethical principles, but discussions are limited. Students and professors seem afraid to openly discuss the taboo topics, like therapist feelings of fear, anger, hatred, and sexual attraction. This book provides the context for open, respectful, and insightful discussions in graduate-level ethics courses. Thank you, Dr. Pope!

Fear of Intimacy

12 reviews
Robert W. Firestone, Joyce Cattlett

American Psychological Association (APA), 2000

Get This Book
As someone who has been in group therapy for a while, I must say this is a terrific book. What I like about it is that it is not a "self-help," feel good book. The book doesn't necessarily tell us anything we don't already know. But it crystallizes things with astonishing lucidity. Get this book--and share it with your partner. Talk about it in bed.

The Mmpi, Mmpi-2 & Mmpi-A in Court

4 reviews
Kenneth S. Pope, James N. Butcher, ...

American Psychological Association (APA), 1993

Usefulness in Forensic Psychology
I found this book to be highly readable, well indexed, and a valuable source for report writing and preparing court testimony. The research cited is current, validity and clinical scales well defined, and sources of bias clearly stated. In addition, ethical considerations and pitfalls of reliance on this testing instrument are provided. Excellent comparisons of the MMPI and MMPI-2 including ...

How to Write for a General Audience: A Guide for Academics Who Want to Share Their Knowledge With the World ...

4 reviews
Kathleen A. Kendall-Tackett

American Psychological Association (APA), 2007

No Rest for the Wordy
This is a fine book: it's crisp, witty, and practical. Academic writing is timid, boring, and wordy, so academics wishing to write for a general audience (also known as "normal people") need a lot of help. Kathleen Kendall-Tackett's book will help professors translate their gnarled text into lively, normal English. I bought this book out of idle curiosity---its title resembles my book How to ...

This book is a gem.
How fortunate we are to now have in one volume a comprehensive and scholarly review of the scientific evidence for anomalous experiences. The fascinating subject matter of this book includes such diverse phenomena as lucid dreaming, out of body experiences, past life experiences, and alien abduction. What makes this book different from other treatments of some of these topics is that the ...

Origin of Mind: Evolution of Brain, Cognition, and General Intelligence

5 reviews
David C. Geary

American Psychological Association (APA), 2004

The Definitive Work on the Brain As WeKnow It
The brain has long been the most mysterious of the organs. Part of the problem has been that the brain can be viewed in so many different ways. The same organ can think of Einstein's Theory of Relativity in one instant and be smiling and talking baby talk to an infant the next. In this book Dr. Geary brings together research from neuroscience, behavior genetics, and cognitive science along ...

Best Psychology resource
This dictionary is going to be the best resource that I have found. I am aPsychology/ Sociology student and needed something at home that would let me look up concepts that I have forgotten without having dozens of books around the house. This is it! I would and have recommended this book to anyone.

Behavior Genetics and I. I. Gottesman
"A certain mother habitually rewards her small son with ice cream after he eats his spinach. What additional information would you need to be able to predict whether the child will: a. Come to love or hate spinach, b. Love or hate ice cream, or c. Love or hate mother?" This quote from Gregory Bateson's preface to his Steps to An Ecology of Mind (1972) returns to haunt a fine chapter by Eric ...
