Loving Someone with Bipolar Disorder

New Harbinger Publications, 2004

Great personal accounts and insight
I have many years experience working with people with this disorder and this book did more for me than all my years of college and experience on the job. It opened my eyes to what I had been missing and some things I used to blame on the person instead of seeing the behaviors, words or reactivity as a part of a large puzzle directly influenced and often controlled by this disorder. This book ...

Confusion Nicely Demystified
Having read his previous work, I'm not surpised that Preston could distill a massive amount of scholarship and personal experience with the most arguable of diagnoses into a hundred sixty-five pages one can actually read and understand -without- a doctorate degree. He has de-mystified Borderline to the point one can grasp it -- and actually -do- something about it -- in a single tome. That ...

John D. Preston Psy D ABPP

New Harbinger Publications, 1997

Excellent, informative and realistic book
I am the webowner of the site "Borderline Personality Disorder Today." This is a book written primarily for clinicians but I also feel BPDs can learn from it. Initially, he presents a very important problem in treating BPDs. One that I have always felt. When discussing long term therapy, he states "..I suspect that only a tiny percent of borderline patients can afford such treatment." Also ...

Make Every Session Count: Getting the Most of Your Brief Therapy

Straight talk about psychotherapy!
This is the only book I have ever read that explains what occurs in psychotherapy. It is exceptionally clear, it is written in plain English, it is realistic (talks about benefits and limitations of therapy), and it is compassionate. The book also helps potential therapy clients pick the right therapist and become more well informed about which therapies work best for which types of problems.

Flesh and the Word: 2An Anthology

Dutton Adult, 1992

Intelligent erotica for the mind and body
Very good read...with two stories by Anne Rice (always a good thing). I was particularly impressed with how the anthology of different writers flowed together very nicely. Often anthology books are very choppy...and I find myself reading one story at a time. Here, I read the whole book in one sitting. Aaron Travis' "Blue Light" was incredible. He really explores bondage erotica in a way that ...

Depression & Anxiety Management: Cognitive Techniques for Managing Emotional Problems

New Harbinger Publications, 1993

Depression Management
This is an excellent audio tape that explains what clinical depression is. It is a good starting point to help a person recognize what they are feeling. The side on anxiety management is for heavy problems. It might have been better to make two different tapes, but I still would highly recommend it. I've given this tape to people who are obviously hurting. It is a way to help someone help ...

Hometowns: Gay Men Write About Where They Belong (Plume)

1 review

Plume, 1992

Superb essays on gay writers' sense of where they are from
The late John Preston's collections of essays by American gay male writers about where they live now or lived when they were growing up is always interesting and often insightful. Among other things, it shows that the elite (creationist) discourse about social construction remains very far from the lived experience of even articulate and reflective natives. Michael Nava's memoir of Sacramento ...
