Random House Inc, 1994 Very-nice copy - No writing, marks or tears - NO remainder marks - Tight spine - Following the triumphant success of her book A Natural History of the Senses, Diane Ackerman has turned her formidable gifts to that greatest gift of all -- the elusive, eternal, and endlessly interesting matter of love. The result is pure Ackerman: a splendid, serious, scientific, poetic, playful, and lyrical 'tour d'horizon' of love's many forms and faces. Ackerman draws on a variety of sources, both classical and from her immediate experience. She gives a fresh new reading to Freud ('mapping the war zones of the heart'), Stendhal (love as fantasy), and Proust ('the erotics of waiting'), and draws lessons from lovers across time. Her attention then moves to the physical -- the chemistry, biology, and neurophysiology associated with love in the brain, mind, and body. She discusses the 'evolution of the face,' the cuddle, both as caress and as chemical, and the customs of marriage. There are astonishments everywhere. Her distinctive touch, aided by her personal adventures and explorations, enriches our understanding of women and horses, men and mermaids, sex and flying, and other equally enticing subjects..

NO writing, marks or tears inside book. "This book provides a remarkably simple, intuitively pleasing, yet fascinating way to enhance communication, social interaction, and the sharing of inner worlds between parents and infants before they can talk." — Daniel N. Stern, M.D. Author of Diary of a Baby "This delightfully written book provides parents and caregivers alike a step-by-step approach to encouraging the use of Baby Signs for objects, events, and needs. Opening up this nonverbal channel for communication helps both adult and child through that difficult stage when the desire to communicate outstrips the baby's capacity to say words." — Susan Crockenberg, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology, University of Vermont Have you ever noticed how easily babies learn to wave "bye-bye," or shake their heads for "no," and not for "yes"? These nonverbal gestures, or Baby Signs, enable them to communicate quite effectively before they are actually able to say the words. Unfortunately most parents stop right there, never realizing their baby's potential for learning other gestures — gestures that make it possible for parents to interact with their child in ways that would otherwise have been impossible until their baby could talk. Linda Acredolo and Susan Goodwyn have spent more than a decade researching and studying the effects of Baby Signs on infant communication, and the results have been overwhelmingly positive. Not only do parents gain a much greater understanding of their children and their needs, but babies also develop skills that actually enrich their comprehension of language. In Baby Signs: How to Talk with Your Baby Before Your Baby Can Talk, Acredolo and Goodwyn provide parents with a fun and simple step-by-step program for teaching children Baby Signs at home. This one-of-a-kind book includes easy-to-follow illustrated signs and photos, popular nursery rhymes with signs, parents' questions answered, and Baby Sign stories. Baby Signs allows infants to reach out to others and forge bonds of affection and satisfaction that will last a lifetime. Linda Acredolo, Ph.D., is a Professor of Psychology at the University of California at Davis, and Susan Goodwyn, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Psychology at California State University, Stanislaus. They have been teaching Baby Signs to parents, teachers, and pediatricians for the past 10 years. . Trade Paperback. Very Good +. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information

New York, NY, U.S.A.: HarperCollins, 1994 The good divorce? Impossible? In this provocative, groundbreaking, and authoritative new book, internationally acclaimed social scientist and family therapist Constance Ahrons defines the good divorce and shows how couples can achieve one. Counteracting the myths that divorce inevitably turns adults into bitter enemies, results in damaged children and broken homes, and rips apart the fabric of society, Dr. Ahrons focuses on what we can learn from those families that maintain family bonds and continue to meet the needs of their children. Drawing on her two decades of landmark research and clinical practice with families of divorce, Dr. Ahrons makes clear that in order to improve the lives of half the families in America, we must remove the stigma of divorce; redefine the divorced family as a "binuclear," rather than a "single parent," family; regard "family values" as the cornerstone to healthy families, whether they are binuclear or nuclear; help parents and children establish new roles, rules, and rituals to support the new family structure; and take advantage of divorce strategies and parenting solutions that help - rather than hinder - healthy development. Dr. Ahrons gives us more than ideas for self-help, she walks us through the lives of families at every stage of divorce to teach us what works and what doesn't. She shows us how to make the most of the families we know we have, rather than dreaming in vain for an unattainable ideal. The Good Divorce serves as a powerful tonic for the millions of couples and parents, whether they are divorcing now or have been divorced for many years, who are tired of hearing only the damage reports. Here is a hopeful, practical book, neither pro-divorce nor anti-marriage, that will change the way we think about divorce and the way we divorce, reconfirming our commitment to children and families. .

NO tears inside book. 225 pages. - The practice of psychiatry is an extraordinarily private one, both for the psychiatrist and the patient. So how does someone know what to look for in therapy? The Other Side of the Couch takes the reader behind the closed doors and deep into the experience of several superb practitioners, revealing a world that bears little resemblance to anything portrayed in television, novels, or films and showing the unique healing bond that is psychiatry at its best. Based on interviews with twelve gifted psychiatrists, The Other Side of the Couch explores the revolutions in drug therapy and brain research now being integrated into the practice of psychiatry, resulting in psychiatrists who must be both prescribing physicians and empathic therapists, and patients who must be ever more knowledgeable about the options available to them. The Other Side of the Couch, Gail Albert writes, is "a guide to the ingredients of good psychiatric treatment" for people in therapy or considering it, and for therapists as well. From The Critics Booknews Based on extended interviews by psychologist Albert, psychiatrists reveal the training, attitude, empathy, and commitment necessary to being a good psychiatrist. Albert also discusses how revolutions in drug therapy and brain research have affected psychiatric practice, as well as what a patient should look for in treatment. Accessible to a wide audience.

But according to the new ``connectionist'' theory of mind, human thought arises from the brain's architecture and is generated by the complex interactions of billions of neurons interlinked in neural nets. These vast brain cell networks seemingly possess the ability to change their own connections; experience (not genes) is the engineer that effects the rewiring. Allman, a freelance journalist, offers an exciting, remarkably lucid tour through the labyrinth of this emerging science. Aided by everyday examples and diagrams that lighten the presentation, he ponders how we acquire language and store memories, and discusses machines capable of reading or grasping patterns. He also looks at blueprints for optical computers, in which light is the current that shuttles information. (Oct.)

Synopsis Shortly after arriving on Cape Cod to spend a year by herself, Joan Anderson’s chance encounter with a wise, playful, and astonishing woman helped her usher in the transformations and self-discoveries that led to her ongoing renewal. First glimpsed as a slender figure on a fogged-in beach, Joan Erikson was not only a friend and confidante when one was most needed, but also a guide as Anderson stretched and grew into her unfinished self. Joan Erikson was perhaps best known for her collaboration with her husband, Erik, a pioneering psychoanalyst and noted author. After Erik’s death, she wrote several books extending their theory of the stages of life to reflect her understanding of aging as she neared ninety-five. But her wisdom was best taught through their friendship; as she sat with Anderson, weaving tapestries of their lives with brightly colored yarn while exploring the strength gathered from their accumulated experiences, Joan Erikson’s lessons took shape on their small cardboard looms as well as in her friend’s revitalized life. In writing about their extraordinary friendship, Anderson reveals a need she didn’t know she had: for a mentor to help navigate the transitions she faced as she grew beyond middle age. And when Joan Erikson had to face her husband’s death and the growing limitations of her own body, Anderson was able to give back some of the wisdom she had gleaned. To this poignant, joyful account, Joan Anderson brings the candor and sensitivity that have made her an acclaimed speaker and writer on midlife and its possibilities. A Walk on the Beach is an experience to savor and treasure, a glimpse of the exuberant spirit thatcan be sustained and passed on in all our friendships. . Hard Cover.

St Martins Pr, 1990 Near-new condition - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Bright pages - Tight spine - NO tears - 231 pages - Are mothers jealous of their developing daughters? Do mothers and daughters remain attached during adolescence, or is an early mother-child bond severed and never formed again? What does adolescence feel like to a girl who is beginning to experience the first fears and pleasures of growing up and becoming a woman? Drawing on detailed interviews with mothers and daughters from Terri Apter's research in Britain and America, and from recent psychological studies of family interaction, Altered Loves is a frank, moving, and insightful examination of this crucial time in a woman's life. Apter shows that contrary to the classical view of adolescence as a stage in which daughters reject their mothers, adolescent daughters often remain strongly attached to them. The strife that characterizes this period is actually the result of trying to renegotiate a valued relationship. Altered Loves explodes conventional myths and theories about mother-daughter relationships and offers new and valuable insights that will help mothers remember and daughters understand the delicate, painful, and complex process of becoming a woman. .

Belleville, Michigan, U.S.A.: Crossroad Pub Co, 1991 NO remainder marks or price clippings. NO tears. Tight spine. 240 pages Writing (mainly underlining) throughout book. Does NOT interfere with reading. Synopsis There is growing evidence that the decade of the 1990s will become the decade of the Men's movement. Increasingly men are engaged in spiritual work. Two decades of the Women's movement propelled this development and writers like Robert Bly have challenged the contemporary beliefs and values of men, pointing out the dysfunction of modern society and the failure to provide healthy nurture to its sons. With all the discussion of a men's movement, there exists a gaping need for a strongly positive book on men's spirituality. Patrick Arnold addresses this through a discussion of the relation of sexuality and gender to spirituality and the unique qualities of masculine spirituality. He then goes on to show how key figures in the Bible teach men about the blessings and curses of classical masculine archetypes, such as the Wildman and the Warrior, and indicates how these figures are reflected in the masculine metaphors for God. Abraham (the patriarch), Moses (the warrior), Solomon (the king), and Elijah (the wildman) are viewed both for the positive traits they display as well as the shadow side of their character. These figures are a much richer resource than is usually perceived, and Arnold believes that the positive traits of these and other biblical figures can be incorporated by men today Table of Contents .

NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 226 pages. Synopsis From chronic physical pain to deep emotional hurts, we are all, at some level, in need of healing. And healing, writes author Stephen Arterburn, is a choice, although not our choice-it is God's choice. While that may lead us to understand that healing is out of our hands, there are several things we do or believe that can stand in the way of God's healing in our lives. Describing ten choices we can make, and the corresponding ten lies that we must reject, Arterburn outlines the plan for opening our lives to God's divine touch. For example, to be receptive to God's healing, we must make the choice to feel; but we often buy into the lie that we need something to help numb the pain. Likewise, we can choose to embrace reality; but we often falsely believe that if we act as if nothing is wrong, the problem will go away. Healing on all levels-spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical-is a miraculous gift from God; but it is a function of our own decisions and beliefs as wel. Hard Cover.
