The Language of Perversion and the Language of Love (Library of Clinical Psychoanalysis) 1 review
Sheldon Bach
Jason Aronson, 1999
A marvelous exploration of self states and their regulation.
Sheldon Bach has written a teriffic book not only about perversion, but also about the development of self states and their regulation. While all of us have the capacity to have masochistic and sadistic elements in out intimate relationships, not all of us become frozen in those dynamics. In his eloquent work, Mr. Bach simply states,"The pain of suffering defends against the greater pain of ...

Bias in Psychiatric Diagnosis1 review
Jason Aronson, 2004
what a fabulous critique of and companion to the DSM!
I have taught abnormal psychology and have taught cultural/feminist crtiques of psychology--this book pulls it all together beautifully. The chapters are quite short and cover a broad range of issues (discrimination against poor rural women, legal issues concerning bias in diagnosing, specific "diagnoses" like false memory syndrome, parental alienation syndrome, and premenstrual dysphoric ...

Understanding the Borderline Mother: Helping Her Children Transcend the Intense, Unpredictable, and Volatile ...97 reviews
Christine Ann Lawson
Jason Aronson, 2002
really did change my life
Although it's a cliche, I have to say that this book changed my life. All my life, I knew something was wrong at home and that it had something to do with my mother, but I couldn't put my finger on it. No one else understood. This book finally showed me what "it" was. I felt so relieved. Now that I know what "it" is, I can decide what to do--or not do.
Lawson describes four types or aspects ...

Daniel A. Hughes
Jason Aronson, 2006
eye-opening
I teach At-Risk 4 year olds and in reading this book I was struck once again with the fact that our words have such power with children....with everyone! This book documents a journey of positive, healing language and loving hope between a foster mom and her daughter. It reinforced to me that the best I can do with the limited time I have with my students is to be consistent with "the ...

Family Therapy in Clinical Practice6 reviews
Murray Bowen
Jason Aronson, 1994
Worth a look--Bowen's definitely got something.
This is a well organized, thoughtful book telling the origins and details of Bowen theory. I particularly like the many cases covered in this book. It appears that they got promising results in helping families with schizophrenic children. There is also a chapter where Dr. Bowen talks about his own efforts at differentiating within his family of origin. It's one thing to talk theory--another to ...

Excellent resource
I am really enjoying this book. It has a great premise of the lack of attachment as one of the causes of addiction and reasons for relapse. I would suggest this for anyone in the health care field of addiction or those dealing with it in friends and family.

Yitta Halberstam Mandelbaum
Jason Aronson, 2002
an enlightened man of love who walked among us
Holy Brother is a book that everyone, whether Jewish or not, whether on a spiritual path or not, should read. Rabbi Schlomo Carlebach was a gift to human aspiration, a living manifestation of heavenly love. The stories of his boundless goodness, earthy personality, and prescient mind touch the miraculous and the mundane all at once. I am very disappointed that the book is out of print, as I ...

Ogden - working with very hurt patients
Ogden shares with us his experience of working with patients who are very difficult to work with or to help. He tells of the first meeting with people who seek his help and the warning stories they tell him about how the therapy will fail or even hurt them or the therapist. It helped me to listen in a different way to my clients and to talk to them about what they told me. This is an excellent ...
