Enneagram Spirituality: From Compulsion to Contemplation

1 review
Suzanne Zuercher

Ave Maria Press, 1992

Penetrating insight from a wise nun.
I highly reccomend this book for not only learning about the enneagram but for learning about basic spirituality. Non-Christains can benefit too - it is a pluralistic book. It gives great wisdom about this powerful tool for psychological and spiritual understanding. She is a level-headed teacher.

Drugs, black marketeering and more--the opportunity to break the criminal enterprise once and for all is suddenly in Toni's capable hands.

Ballantine Books, 2008

Compulsion
Love Alex Delaware and this novel was classic Delaware. If you are a reader of the series then you will be glad that you read it! If you are new to the series start at the beginning of the series so that you can appreciate the characters more. I would have liked to have seen more in depth character presentation. I didnt feel as connected to the characters as I have in previous novels. I did ...

The Gift of Our Compulsions: A Revolutionary Approach to Self-Acceptance and Healing

11 reviews
Mary O'Malley

New World Library, 2004

The best I've found
This is the best book on the topic of compulsions that I have ever seen. What impressed me the most were some simple and quick to do exercises that, simply put, have worked every time I've taken the 30 seconds or so to do them. Frankly I'm amazed at the power of this book. I met the author briefly after a lecture she gave, and I give her an even higher recommendation than the book. She's ...

If you answered yes to two or all of these questions, The Doubting Disease will be of interest to you. It describes the torment of scrupulosity, or excessive worry about moral issues, which in some cases may be a ...

HarperOne, 1993

Life Changing
When I purchased "Self-Defeating Behaviors: Free Yourself from the Habits, Compulsions, Feeldings, and Attitudes that hold you Back" I had expected very this to be a slow process. Nevertheless, to my surprise this was an instant transformation. The book was written in a way that openned my eyes to just how easy it was to change or shift my mental conditioning for the better. I keep this book ...

Autism-An Inside-Out Approach: An Innovative Look at the Mechanics of 'Autism' and Its Developmental 'Cousins'

3 reviews
Donna Williams

Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 1996

Extremely recommended reading
Autism: An Inside-Out Approach, has succeeded in telling experts on autism things they didn't know. Donna is intelligently critical of the popular and professional stereotypes of autism. She demands an end to the professional exclusivism and arrogance of so many proponents of therapies for autism. Donna proposes a "supermarket" approach, where the different therapies work together under ...

The Potent Self: A Study of Spontaneity and Compulsion

4 reviews
Moshe Feldenkrais

Frog Books, 2002

Excellent aid to improving the functioning of the whole self
I've had no experience with the Feldenkrais method, nor even any particular interest in taking any classes. My interest is in improving the general functioning of my body and mind. This book provides deep and cogent analysis of a number of issues that I've not seen covered with such care elsewhere. Particularly interesting to me was the chapter on "Resistance and Cross Motivation," ...

I Thought I Could Fly: Portraits of Anguish, Compulsion, and Despair

2 reviews

Bellevue Literary Press, 2008

I Thought I Could Fly...An Memorable Read
This book is beautiful, wrenching, inspiring and brave. The extraordinary challenges of mental illness are tackled with depth and grace. The stories are real and compelling. They provide a window into the day to day struggles of those suffering from mental illness as well as the impacts on those who love them. For me, the photographs are the most moving part of the book. They are beautiful, ...

Compulsion

16 reviews
Meyer Levin

Carroll & Graf Publishers, 1996

A fascinating and beautifully written novel
It seems that half of the reviewers here seem either set on critiquing this novel against the actual Leopold/Loeb history, or at least on demonstrating their own knowledge of the case. I'm also a huge follower of the history--but Compulsion is ultimately a work of fiction, a novel. And it happens to be a wonderfully structured, beautifully styled, moving, and psychologically staggering novel. ...

Cybersex: The Dark Side of the Force: A Special Issue of the Journal Sexual Addiction and Compulsion

1 review
Al Cooper

Routledge, 2000

For all men in denial; or, "It's Really Not About A Simple, Inconsequential Preference"
The book is a special issue of a mental health field journal concerning sexual addiction and compulsivity. As such, men in denial will, of course, instantly conclude that such professionals are biased. Online pornography is a growing social issue. As a psychotherapist, I am concerned about its surreptitious use in relationships by partners who deceive and manipulate their unsuspecting, ...

Lynn

Underwood Books, 1996

Parents, you can do it!
This is a wonderful book that can literally change the lives of despairing parents of children with attention problems. It doesn't just present coping strategies, it addresses the heart of the problems by exploring two main questions: how can parents move from seeing their child as an terrible trial to seeing him/her as a challenge that can be met? And how do they move from seeing only the ...

David Eckman

Harvest House Publishers, 2006

catchy title accompanied by a substantive perspective
A follow-on to his book, Becoming Who God Intended, Eckman illuminates a difficult topic by focusing on the intent of the words in scripture; going beyond the simple words, Eckman infuses the writing with an emotional meaning that makes these words come alive.

Passing for Normal: A Memoir of Compulsion

29 reviews
Amy S. Wilensky

Broadway, 2000

a good book, serious, but humorous at the same time
This book was so incredibly interesting. I've read quite a few books on the subject of suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder and I have to say this was one of my favorites. Amy so honestly tells the stories of her childhood, the way she suffered from tourettes as well as OCD and went undiagnosed for years. Amy details such difficult subjects, her trials and tribulations, but often speaks ...

Compulsion: A Novel (Frank Clevenger)

26 reviews
Keith Ablow

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2003

Great read!
I enjoyed this entry in the Frank Clevenger series immensely! I especially appreciated the quick pacing and smart plot. Mr. Ablow does a fine job of keeping you guessing, creating compelling characters, examining their motives without dragging it out, ( I hate being forced to skim), and he throws in some really interesting and ingenious diagnostic scenerios. It is the proverbial page-turner, and ...

Economic Compulsion and Christian Ethics (New Studies in Christian Ethics)
Albino Barrera

Cambridge University Press, 2007

Albino Barrera argues that Christian thought on economic security offers an effective framework within which to address the consequences of economic compulsion. Markets can often be harsh in compelling people to make unpalatable economic choices any reasonable person would not take under normal conditions. Such economic ripple effects of market operations have been virtually ignored in ethical discourse because they are generally accepted to be ...

But when does a harmless pastime become a dangerous addiction? Even "successful" gamblers who don't bet more than they can afford to lose could still be acting out an unhealthy compulsion. Applying Dr. Balasa Prasad's method, gamblers-whether a regular at OTB or ...
