The central theme is that mood determines how we are tuned to the world. Tuning emerges over the course of our earliest development as environmental and genetic influences form the neural circuits and set how they function across the lifespan in daily life and under conditions of stress. How each person is tuned becomes the basis for resilience or vulnerability to events. Some will take events in stride; others may become angry, anxious, or sad.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;A child psychiatrist with decades of clinical experience treating patients, the author stresses that relationships play a central role in shaping our mood. Security or insecurity, loss or the fear of loss of key relationships, especially in childhood, can have telling effects on the way we view the world.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;A chapter is devoted to each of the disorders where mood is a central issue: depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and antisocial disruptive disorders. The author then discusses the various &quot;talking therapies&quot; and the main classes of medication often administered to treat emotional disturbances. Burke concludes by summarizing the latest research on preventing mood disorders and discussing the impact that illness can have on emotional well-being and the role of mood in resilience and recovery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Seven years ago she set out to write a sequel, but instead she discovered a historic revolution in the adult life cycle. . . &lt;br&gt;People are taking longer to grow up and much longer to die. A fifty-year-old woman--who remains free of cancer and heart disease-- can expect to see her ninety-second birthday. Men, too, can expect a dramatically lengthened life span. The old demarcations and descriptions of adulthood--beginning at twenty-one and ending at sixty-five--are hopelessly out of date. In New Passages, Gail Sheehy discovers and maps out a completely new frontier--a Second Adulthood in middle life.&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Stop and recalculate,&amp;quot; Sheehy writes. &amp;quot;Imagine the day you turn forty-five as the infancy of another life.&amp;quot; Instead of declining, men and women who embrace a Second Adulthood are progressing through entirely new passages into lives of deeper meaning, renewed playfulness, and creativity--beyond both male and female menopause. Through hundreds of personal and group interviews, national surveys of professionals and working-class people, and fresh findings extracted from fifty years of U.S. Census reports, Sheehy vividly dramatizes these newly developing stages. Combining the scholar's ability to synthesize data with the novelist's gift for storytelling, she allows us to make sense of our own lives by understanding others like us.&lt;br&gt;New Passages tells us we have the ability to customize our own life cycle. This groundbreaking work is certain to awaken and permanently alter the way we think about ourselves.&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;SHEEHY CLEARLY STATES IDEAS ABOUT LIFE THAT HAVE NEVER BEFORE BEEN AS CLEARLY STATED.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;--Los Angeles Times Book Review&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;AN OPTIMISTIC ANALYSIS OF ADULT DEVELOPMENT IN PESSIMISTIC TIMES. . . It is grounded in the economic and psychological realities that make adult life so complex today.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;--The New York Times Book Review&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Trade Paperback edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Segal&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hardcover&lt;/b&gt;, 301 pages | Prometheus Books | Psychology &amp; Psychiatry - Developmental Psychology | &lt;b&gt;$25.00&lt;/b&gt; | 978-1-61614-437-1 (1-61614-437-8)&lt;p&gt;The combination of a riveting true story and cutting-edge twin research makes this book an irresistible page-turner. Identical twins Bego&amp;#241;a and Delia were born thirty-eight years ago in Spain&amp;#8217;s Canary Islands. Due to chaotic conditions at the hospital or simple human error, the unthinkable happened: Delia was unintentionally switched with another infant in the baby nursery. This fascinating story describes in vivid detail the consequences of this unintentional separation of identical twin sisters. The author considers not only the effects on these particular sisters, but the important implications of this and similar cases for questions concerning identity, familial bonds, nature-nurture, and the law. Bego&amp;#241;a and Delia grew up never knowing the truth about their birth, and their parents had no idea that an error had been made. When one twin was confused for the other by a friend during a chance encounter in a clothing store, the twins finally met at the age of twenty-eight. Once the startling discovery of the twins&amp;#8217; actual identities was made, the families were traumatized and in shock. The newly reunited sisters were forced to confront shattered identities and deep confusion, as were their parents, brothers, and sisters. Eventually, the case led to worldwide publicity and a lawsuit that dragged on for years. Based on her extensive research into the psychology of twins and exclusive interviews with family members, the author probes the deep implications of this unique situation, exploring many questions of universal human significance: How do mothers know who their biological children are? How much does our family contribute to our sense of self? Are we more like the people who raised us or the people we were born to? Can the legal system ever compensate parents for a mistake that really has no remedy? In exploring these and other thought-provoking questions, the author offers valuable insights into the ways in which our genetic inheritance and familial environments combine to shape the individuals we become. Beyond the case of Bego&amp;#241;a and Delia, the author adds context by discussing prior cases of twins and non-twins switched at birth. She also examines custodial decisions concerning children who are the result of donated sperm or eggs by individuals outside the rearing family and offers careful analysis of several options for modifying hospital procedures to prevent the trauma of future baby-switching incidents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

The book shows how certain responses to events in our lives end up bound and connected with our movement patterns. Through extensive research, Marcher, Fich, and several others have mapped out the psychological functions of 154 muscles and related tissues.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Featuring more than 200 detailed illustrations, &lt;i&gt;Body Encyclopedia &lt;/i&gt;opens with an introduction to the history and development of Bodynamic Analysis. The core of the book presents a description of each muscle, including movement positions, age level when the muscle is activated, and a summary of the psychological themes associated with each muscle. Basic instructions are provided for &lt;i&gt;bodymapping&lt;/i&gt;, a hands-on procedure that involves palpating and registering muscle response. Vivid case studies demonstrate how to apply the information in real-life situations. Using the book as a guide, readers can accurately identify and investigate the underlying psychological issues associated with muscle pain, discomfort, or weakness in specific areas of the body.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

The three-year-old who ignores all his toys but seems passionately attached to the vacuum cleaner . . . The fourth-grade girl who never gets invited to a birthday party because classmates think she&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;weird&amp;#8221; . . . The geek who is terrific at math, but is failing every other subject. Quirky children are different from other kids in ways that they&amp;#8211;and their parents and teachers&amp;#8211;have a hard time understanding or explaining. Straddling the line between eccentric and developmentally impaired, quirky children present challenges that standard parenting books fail to address. Now, in &lt;i&gt;Quirky Kids&lt;/i&gt;, nationally known writer/pediatrician Perri Klass and her colleague Eileen Costello, a seasoned pediatrician with a special interest in child development, finally provide the expert guidance and in-depth research that families with quirky children so desperately need.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A generation ago, such children were called odd ducks or worse. But nowadays, they are often assigned medical, psychiatric, or neurological diagnoses. The diagnoses often overlap or shift, but the labels can be frightening. Klass and Costello illuminate the confusing list of terms applied to quirky children these days&amp;#8211;nonverbal learning disability, sensory integration disorder, obsessive-compulsive behavior, autistic spectrum disorder, pervasive developmental disorder, Asperger&amp;#8217;s syndrome&amp;#8211;and explain how to assess what exactly each diagnosis means and how to use it to help a child most effectively. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Quirky Kids&lt;/i&gt; takes you through the stages of a child&amp;#8217;s life, helping to smooth the way at home, at school, even on the playground. How do you make it through mealtime, when emotions often erupt? How do you help the child&amp;#8217;s siblings understand what&amp;#8217;s going on? Is it better to &amp;#8220;mainstream&amp;#8221; the child or seek a special education program? How can you make a school more welcoming and flexible for a quirky child? How do you help your child deal with social exclusion, name-calling, and bullying? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Choosing the right therapy for quirky children is especially difficult, because their problems fall outside traditional medical categories. Coping strategies might include martial arts or horseback riding, or speech and occupational therapies. Klass and Costello cover all the options, as well as offer a thorough consideration of the available medications, how they work, and whether medication is the best choice for your child. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Drs. Klass and Costello firmly believe that the ideal way to help our quirky kids is to understand and embrace the qualities that make them exceptionally interesting and lovable. Written with upbeat clarity and informed insight, their book is a comprehensive guide to loving, living with, and enjoying these wonderful if challenging children.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Now Gail Sheehy guides contemporary men through the turbulent challenges and surprising pleasures that begin at forty. As a man crosses that threshold, he is bound to ask midlife's most troubling question: Now what? Work anxieties, concerns over sexual potency, marital and family stress, issues of power, all take on new urgency as men contemplate the decades ahead. But as Gail Sheehy reveals in this major new book, midlife is precisely the period when men are most likely to reinvent themselves and become masters of their fate. In Understanding Men's Passages, Sheehy offers all men--and the women in their lives--an essential guide to self-discovery.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hundreds of bold, imaginative men--celebrities as well as everyday heroes--share here their most intimate desires, deepest fears, and most fervent cravings for renewal. Decade by decade, Sheehy uncovers the real issues facing men today: finding new passion and purpose to invigorate the second half of their lives, dealing with &amp;quot;manopause,&amp;quot; surviving job change, enjoying post-nesting zest, defeating depression, and learning what keeps a man young.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Informative and inspiring, grounded in fact and full of fascinating life stories, Understanding Men's Passages is a landmark that will take its place beside Gail Sheehy's epoch-making Passages and New Passages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Levinson wrote the groundbreaking classic, The Seasons of a Man's Life, which became the stimulus for a revolution in thinking about life passages, helping thousands of men make sense of their own lives. Now it is womens' turn. Based on exhaustive interviews with a diverse group of forty-five women, The Seasons of a Woman's Life completes and substantiates Levinson's thesis: that all human beings go right on developing throughout their lives in a pattern of amazing inevitability.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Firmly grounded in original scientific research, The Seasons of a Woman's Life is unusual in being not only vividly readable but a rich source of insights and consolation. It speaks with uncanny directness to the dreams, emotional crises, inexplicable feelings, social conflicts, and psychological upheavals that mark each woman's life course. Every woman will recognize *and find comfort in recognizing *the deep shape of her own life in the pattern it outlines, from Early Adult Transition (ages 17 to 22) to the Mid-life Transition (ages 40 to 45) and beyond. Alive with the voices of real women, perceptive and sympathetic, this book is destined *like its predecessor *to become a classic.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;AFFIRMING AND ILLUMINATING . . . PSYCHOLOGICALLY RICH.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; *San Jose Mercury News&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;HELPFUL AND ENLIGHTENING.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; *Booklist&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;GROUNDBREAKING.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; *Feminist Bookstore News&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

It&amp;#8217;s as powerful and eye-opening as ever.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>
