Conversations with anorexics

Bruch, Hilde
from Publisher's Weekly: This posthumous collection of case material illustrates the treatment modality successfully employed by psychiatrist Bruch with patients suffering from the eating disorder of anorexia. Two of her associates at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston have edited this final work, taped by the author before her death in 1984. Bruch makes the reader privy to the therapeutic transaction between her patients who are in what she describes as "the relentless pursuit of thinness.'' Emphasizing the conversational ambiance of the therapy and discounting heretofore unsuccessful approaches of psychoanalysis and behavior modification, she helped her patients to heal. The dramatic dialogues in the cases presented allow us to hear these desperate young anorexic women individually explore their thwarted development, under the direction of a compassionate physician who guides them towards wellness. from Library Journal: Psychiatrist Bruch was a pioneer in developing psychotherapy for anorexia victims. Author of half a dozen books, her first work, Eating Disorders, appeared 15 years ago. She taped her interactions with clients, and these form the nucleus of this final book. Bruch's strength is her straightforward writing: it is honest, simple, and effective.

Saul, Andrew W.,Hoffer, Abram,Foster, Harold D.
"The third edition, updated and expanded. Discover the newest cutting-edge research about the wonderful healing properties of niacin! Vitamin B3-or niacin-is a small molecule made of only fourteen atoms, smaller even than the simplest sugar.

Niacin: The Real Story takes an orthomolecular (nutrition-based) approach to medicine, supporting wellness with substances that naturally occur in the human body. Here the most prominent minds in orthomolecular medicine discuss the widespread use of niacin for the prevention and treatment of health problems. With newly-updated recommendations and on forms and therapeutic doses, we find all of the best ways to take niacin for conditions like arthritis, children's learning and behavioral disorders, mental illness, cardiovascular disease, and much more"--

The New Male Female Relationship

Herb Goldberg
In this ground-breaking work, Goldberg shows how traditional relationships are doomed to fail -- not because of personal inadequacies, but because of the psychological defense mechanisms that program men to behave like machines and women like children. Goldberg offers a total reevaluation of the war between the sexes in light of the enormous changes the woman's liberation movement has brought about in the last several decades. Immensely hopeful in its outlook, the book gives us a vision of just how good a relationship can be when men and women are friends and companions as well as lovers. Book jacket.
