A Romance on Three Legs: Glenn Gould's Obsessive Quest for the Perfect Piano

14 reviews
Katie Hafner

McClelland & Stewart, 2008

deserves the raves
Like several of the other reviewers, I was skeptical that there was a need for another book about Glenn Gould. Before reading 'A Romance on Three Legs', my impression was that Gould is already well-represented on the printed page. After all, his own prolific words are still in print. As well, there is Kevin Bazzana's articulate, insightful and (seemingly) all-inclusive biography 'The Life and ...

Mr. Burke....Excellent. From California, to Cuba, to Georgia, I loved this book. Very well researched, and written. I felt I got to know each character in the book. Being a fisherman myself, I knew the names, but not the stories.....again, BRAVO!!!

CLASSROOM-Specific TS Info for Teachers!!!
I love this book, which I have found invaluable in educating my son's teachers about the disorder. It is basically a compilation of information that any well read TS parent has probably found in 20 different locations, but for the novice looking for a thorough overview in one book, "Teaching The Tiger" goes a LONG way toward increasing their TS education. It gives practical advise re behavioral ...

Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 2005

This book is the truth!
This book starts out really slow and boring because you are blinded by all of the basketball details. So you think "here's another boring sports book" and by chapter 3 it is already unraveling into a book you just can't put down. Sticky is a ghetto and rough-around-the-edges white guy that has grown up on the streets, moving from foster pad to foster pad, eventually making it to an area where he ...

End of Worries
My daughter had chronic stomachaches which we had checked out medically. We were assured that they were stress related. This book was just what we needed. She loved being able to actually write in and draw in the book about her worries. It was engaging and empowering for her to create something tangible for her to work with. She especially loved drawing what her worry bullies look like. It ...

Confusing Love With Obsession: When You Can't Stop Controlling Your Partner and the Relationship

John D. Moore

Writers Club Press, 2002

Spoke to My Soul
I read Moore's book and was very impressed with each of the case studies. In some way, each person's story spoke to my own situation in a controlling relationship. There were many times that I had to put the book aside because it hurt too much to keep reading. As I kept turning the pages, I saw all of the patterns in my own life and then the lightbulb went off and I thought, "That's me!" If you ...

Jeff Bell uses the metaphor of a tape player to describe his struggle with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in his harrowing memoir, "Rewind, Replay, Repeat." Bell has been a successful radio personality for many years, which makes his willingness to come clean about his illness all the more remarkable. He is a doubter, who states, "I have all five of my senses, but tend not to trust any of them." ...

A Winning Publication for People with OCD and Family Members
Herb Gravitz' book on OCD, New Help for the Family is a wonderful contribution to the mental health field.

This was the first book that truly spoke to my situation. I had a hard time putting the book down becuase I related to so many of the people inside. Finally, someone has written a book for both women and men about obsessive, addictive relationships. I feel like I have new insight into problem and can start making positive changes in my life. Excellent book for anyone caught up in another person.

Clinical Handbook of Psychological Disorders: A Step-by-Step Treatment Manual, Second Edition

7 reviews

The Guilford Press, 1993

Although pricey, comprehensive and worth the money.
I am currently using this book as a supplemental text for a course in Psychopathology I am taking at Cleveland State University. The explanations of the various disorders are sometimes dense for the beginning graduate student, yet there is much to learn as each chapter not only discusses the etiology, but also various treatment approaches for each illness. Would I recommend this book? Depends ...

Excellent resource to help children/early teens
My daughter has Tourette's, which has both an OCD component and an anxiety/worry component to the disorder (as well as other aspects). We first purchased from this author the book on Worry and used it during her sessions aloud with her psychologist. It was WONDERFUL and really helped her UNDERSTAND the worry bully, which is so important once kids reach an age of concrete understanding. But ...

Ginger Churchill

Tanglewood Press, 2007

None Better
Scabs, sharks, bossy grown-ups, and a boy named Andy who apparently doesn't eat enough . . . I would never have expected to love a book about scabs. But the humor won me over. My kids love this book and my 1st-grader wants to read it to me at least once every single day. For every kid who's ever had a scab and the grown-ups who love them--buy this book and prepare to laugh!
