Coping With Your Difficult Older Parent : A Guide for Stressed-Out Children

41 reviews
Grace Lebow, Barbara Kane

Harper Paperbacks, 1999

didn't meet my needs
This book addresses some of the "normal" problems or issues adult children may encounter as their parents age, for instance, how to coax a parent to stop driving when the parent can no longer do so safely. The book doesn't address how adult survivors of dysfunctional families can handle truly "difficult" parents as they age. I'd have been glad to have had the kinds of "difficult" parents ...

Coping with Kidney Disease: A 12-Step Treatment Program to Help You Avoid Dialysis

15 reviews
Mackenzie Walser, Betsy Thorpe

Wiley, 2004

Thank God for Dr Walser
This book, in my opinion, is a must for kidney patients. Well written and easy to understand, it gave me a much better understanding of CKD and what I need to do to live a longer and healthier life. Dialysis is not something I want to experience. After being diagnosed with CKD 18 months ago (stage 3)I did a lot of research on diet, etc. and happened upon Dr. Walser's book. With the approval ...

Robert M. Bramson

Dell, 1988

Never an easy task
For the first time I am reviewing a book that I did not completely read. In fact, I read only the first two chapters. But at the time--several years ago, those were the only chapters I needed. Robert M. Bramson, management consultant, found that the number one problem in all the businesses he worked with was people trying to cope with difficult people. So he wrote this book. He identifies six ...

Coping with Anxiety: 10 Simple Ways to Relieve Anxiety, Fear & Worry

8 reviews
Edmund J. Bourne, Lorna Garano

New Harbinger Publications, 2003

Very Very Helpful
This is a very good book. It gives you everything you need to know and do in 10 easy steps. I have read many books on anxiety and all the advice boils down to what is written in this book. I believe it to be the most valuable book that I have gotten on anxiety so far. It does not replace what one on one therapy provides because people with anxiety always want to know how they got their problems ...

Unsung Lullabies: Understanding and Coping with Infertility
I can't say enough good things about this book. For several years,I have had problems mourning and moving past my infertility. This book helped me finally move on from the hurt and disappointment because it helped me realize that lots of other people feel the same pain and anger when they struggle with infertility. It made me realize that I am NORMAL and infertility is a devastating thing that ...

Coping With OCD: Practical Strategies for Living Well With Obsessive-compulsive Disorder
Bruce M., Ph.D. Hyman, Troy Dufrene

New Harbinger Publications, 2008

Do you know about the Doomsayer? He's the guy dressed in raggedy clothes, hanging around on street corners with a cardboard sign that reads, "The End Is Near!" He's always ready to tell you that mobile phones cause cancer, air traffic fatalities are up this year, and locusts are poised to swarm the city. Having OCD is a lot like having this character living inside your head. He's with you all the time; he knows your deepest fears, and he's not ...

If you buy one book on trauma, here it is!
If you buy just one book on Trauma this is the one to buy. Not only does Dr. Allen write with compassion and understanding, but he writes both about despair and hope. Trauma survivors reading the first half of the book will see themselves and their histories in the details he writes about trauma. You will also come to a better understanding of just why Trauma is so hard to leave behind. His ...

Coping With Panic: A Drug-Free Approach to Dealing With Anxiety Attacks

1 review
George A. Clum

Thomson Brooks/Cole, 1989

HELP!
Clum's book was recommended to me by a psychologist friend after I experienced several panic/anxiety attacks, a disorder which she had also suffered. The attacks were "life changing" experiences that I would do almost anything to avoid repeating. This book helped immensely by explaining what was going on and how to deal with the fear and shame a person with anxiety faces. It gives you insight ...

Harriet Fishman Simons

Jossey-Bass, Incorporated Publishers, 2007

An Excellent Read for Those Coping, or if You Know Someone
I had no expectations when I opened this book, having read a number of books on infertility. What a pleasant surprise to discover that Ms. Fishman Simons knows the subject of secondary infertility so well and provides in her book just what couples experiencing this very much ignored problem need for guidance. While reading it was emotionally difficult at times, I found many perspectives that ...

Buy This Book: For Sufferers and Caretakers Alike
People who are depressed often have impaired concentration and attention spans. People who are living with or caring for depressed people often have no real clue what the difference is between "ordinary depression" and "clinical depression" and how many kinds of clinical depression there are, etc. This book is written with all these factors in mind. I recommend you read it slowly from ...

Coping with Infuriating, Mean, Critical People: The Destructive Narcissistic Pattern

2 reviews
Nina W. Brown

Praeger Publishers, 2006

Should be more books like this.
Although I gave this book a "five" I do find that the book is lacking (in fact I probably should give it a four.) Yes, I know one is usually supposed to list the positives before talking about negatives, but this book could have been a definitive book if the author had stayed more in line with her title. Here's the only beef I had with the book: She does an excellent job helping the ...
