CALOF, DAVID L.; SIMONS, ROBIN  The Couple Who Became Each Other : And Other Tales of Healing from a Hypnotherapist's Casebook
Century. 1997. (ISBN: 0712677496) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A woman who has been losing her sight for 17 years suddenly reverses her own blindness. Another undergoes major surgery without anaesthesia. A couple pull back from divorce after hypnotically becoming each other. These extraordinary stories from the casebook of David Calof are typical of the solutions he believes possible when a patient's unconscious mind is brought to the task of healing. Each chapter in this book reads like a "whodunit", taking us on a search for clues and solutions to patients' mystery ailments. We are told that to the unconscious, mind and body are one; hence, one client's ability to purge her body of pre-cancerous cells through the use of mental imagery. We also read that, far from being the exclusive province of hypnotists, trance is a natural phenomenon. We all encounter it daily, and so we are all capable of its magic. Very Good/Very Good.

DENFELD, RENE  Kill the Body, the Head Will Fall: A Closer Look at Women, Violence, and Aggression
Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A. Warner Books Inc. 1997. (ISBN: 044651960x) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. In her controversial first book, The New Victorians, Rene Denfeld dared to challenge the ideas of New Age and Old Guard feminists. Now, using boxing as a springboard to tackle issues of primary importance to all women, she attacks our culture's myths about feminine anger and violence -- and reveals the complex, liberating truth. She explores: Anger: why women feel guilty and out of control when enraged, and how the denial of women's anger can have devastating consequences; Competition: how women's healthy competitive urges are repressed, keeping them at a disadvantage; Sex: what connects sex and violence and shapes women's sexual desires; Power: how recognizing women's aggression can help bring about their equality. Insisting on facts and eschewing cultural bias, Denfeld asserts that women's violence and aggression are not held in check by biology. They are waiting to be encouraged and used to create strong, active women who are serious contenders - in the boxing ring and in life. Good/Fine.

PEARSON, PATRICIA  When She Was Bad : How Women Get Away with Murder
Virago. 1999. (ISBN: 1860495524) Soft Cover, B Format. Our culture believes that women are not naturally aggressive. And yet, every day evidence proves otherwise: women kill their children, their husbands, their lovers, and their lovers' mistresses. Women join their lovers in torture and killings, women are psychopaths, women are terrorists and violent criminals. In this highly provocative book, Patricia Pearson demonstrates over and over again that the idea (ideal?) of female innocence is pure myth. She argues that the two main culprits of the tendency to overlook extreme behaviour in women are feminists who have claimed victimhood for women and male society which finds it impossible to see women as powerful. Weaving the stories of violent women - from Myra Hindley and Rose West, from a mother who smothered eight of her children, from nurses who murdered their infant charges, to husband beaters - with the findings of criminologists, anthropologists and psychiatrists, Patricia Pearson makes a compelling case for redefining the debate about female violence and power. Very Good/Very Good.

The Science of Personality, 2/e, addresses questions and issues relating to the field of personality psychology today, including: · Which trait, motive, and cognitive units are fundamental to the study of personality? · How do genes and environments interact to produce an individual's personality? · To what extent is personality stable over time and across situations? · What is the nature of the self and to what extent does the concept of the self differ across cultures? · What is the relationship of thoughts and feelings to physical health? Paying particular attention to recent developments in cross-cultural research, positive psychology, and biological foundations of personality, The Science of Personality, 2/e, is an ideal text or supplement for undergraduate courses in personality psychology and advanced personality. Very Good/Very Good.

TOBIN, YISHAI  Phonology As Human Behavior : Theoretical Implications and Clinical Approaches
Duke University Press. 1997. (ISBN: 0822318229) Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Phonology as Human Behavior brings work in human cognition, behavior, and communication to bear on the study of phonology - the theory of sound systems in language. Yishai Tobin extends the ideas of William Diver - an influential linguist whose investigations into phonology reflect the principle that language represents a constant search for maximum communication with minimal effort - as part of a new theory of phonology as human behavior. Showing the far-reaching psycho- and sociolinguistic utility of this theory, Tobin demonstrates its applicability to both the teaching of phonetics, text analysis, and the theory of language acquisition. Tobin describes the methodological connection between phonological theory and phonetics by way of a comprehensive and insightful survey of phonology's controversial role in twentieth-century linguistics. He reviews the work of Saussure, Jakobson, Troubetzkoy, Martinet, Zipf, and Diver, among others, and discusses issues in distributional phonology through analyses of English, Italian, Latin, Hebrew, and Yiddish. Using his theory to explain various functional and pathological speech disorders, Tobin examines a wide range of deviant speech processes in aphasia, the speech of the hearing-impaired, and other syndromes of organic origin. Of interest to specialists in linguistics, developmental and clinical linguistics, and speech pathology. Phonology as Human Behavior maintains that language in general and phonology in particular are instances of human cognitive behavior and provides a unique set of principles connecting the phylogeny, ontogeny, and pathology of sound systems in human language.

YALOM, IRVIN D.  The Gift of Therapy : Reflections on Being a Therpist
Piatkus. 2002. (ISBN: 0749922591) Hard Cover. The Gift of Therapy is the new book from the bestselling author of Love's Executioner. The culmination of master psychiatrist Dr Irvin Yalom's forty-five years' work as a therapist, this book illustrates through real case studies how patients and therapists alike can get the most out of therapy. Presented as eighty-five 'tips' for 'beginner therapists', Yalom shares his own fresh approach and the insights he has gained while treating his patients. Personal, and sometimes provocative, Yalom includes some unorthodox suggestions: - Let the patient matter to you - Acknowledge your errors - Create a new therapy for each patient - Three kinds of therapist self-disclosure - Revealing the therapist's personal life: use caution - Full interpretation of a dream? Forget it! - Freud was not always wrong This is an entertaining, informative and insightful read for both beginner (and experienced) therapists, patients and everyone with an interest in the subject. Very Good/Very Good.
