Why do so many treatments and drugs work only for a limited time before eventually losing effectiveness or producing harmful side effects? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Dr. Steven Goldsmith's answer is at once counterintuitive and commonsensical: the root of the problem is our combative approach. Instead of resisting and fighting our ailments, we should cooperate with and even embrace them. We should look for and apply treatments that are integrated with the causes of illness, not regard illness as an enemy to conquer. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This &quot;hair of the dog&quot; principle is already widely evident in practice. Take, for example, vaccines and inoculations, which are small doses of the microbes that cause the diseases being prevented; the use of the stimulant Ritalin to calm and ground people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder; and radiation, which is both a well-known cause of cancer and a well-known method of treating it. These are just a few of Goldsmith's many examples, which he relays in clear, evocative, and thought-provoking language. Perhaps most compelling of all, he explores reasons why this clearly effective principle is ignored by Western medicine.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Drawing on fascinating case studies and personal experiences from his forty-year career as a medical doctor and psychiatrist&amp;mdash;as well as abundant clinical, experimental, and public health data that support his seemingly paradoxical assertion&amp;mdash;Dr. Goldsmith presents an exciting, revolutionary approach that will change the way you think about medicine and psychotherapy.&amp;para;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

How do we measure equality when our society's definitions of &quot;male&quot; and &quot;female&quot; leave out much of the population?

Frozen for decades in a trance-like state, these men and women were given up as hopeless until 1969, when Dr. Oliver Sacks gave them the then-new drug L-DOPA, which had an astonishing, explosive, &quot;awakening&quot; effect. Dr. Sacks recounts the moving case histories of his patients, their lives, and the extraordinary transformations which went with their reintroduction to a changed world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

Brain) | &lt;b&gt;$11.99&lt;/b&gt; | May 29, 2013 | 978-0-307-83410-2 (0-307-83410-7)&lt;p&gt;The many manifestations of migraine can vary dramatically from one patient to another, even within the same patient at different times. Among the most compelling and perplexing of these symptoms are the strange visual hallucinations and distortions of space, time, and body image which migraineurs sometimes experience. Portrayals of these uncanny states have found their way into many works of art, from the heavenly visions of Hildegard von Bingen to Alice in Wonderland. Dr. Oliver Sacks argues that migraine cannot be understood simply as an illness, but must be viewed as a complex condition with a unique role to play in each individual's life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

Brought together in this volume are two classic studies of the nature of laughter and comedy. The great French philosopher Henri Bergson develops, in &quot;Laughter,&quot; a profound psychological and philisophic theory of the main springs of comedy&amp;mdash;a theory closely related to the doctrine of the &lt;i&gt;&amp;eacute;lan vital&lt;/i&gt;. In his &quot;Essay on Comedy,&quot; the English novelist George Meredith discusses the varieties of the comic experience and the social and moral function of comedy.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Together these two major theories go far toward clarifying the mystery of laughter. Wylie Sypher, in his richly documented supplementary essay, places the views of Bergson and Meredith in a large context of speculation on the nature of comedy. The essay reviews important statements of such thinkers as Aristotle, Hobbes, Baudelaire, Freud, Cornford, and others. It serves to give further significance to Bergson and Meredith and to the meaning of comedy itself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

Thomas says of her fellow sociopaths, we are your neighbors, co-workers, and quite possibly the people closest to you: lovers, family, friends. Our risk-seeking behavior and general fearlessness are thrilling, our glibness and charm alluring. Our often quick wit and outside-the-box thinking make us appear intelligent&amp;mdash;even brilliant. We climb the corporate ladder faster than the rest, and appear to have limitless self-confidence.&amp;nbsp; Who are we? We are highly successful, non-criminal sociopaths and we comprise 4% of the American population (that&amp;rsquo;s 1 in 25 people!). &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Confessions of a Sociopath&lt;/i&gt; takes readers on a journey into the mind of a sociopath, revealing what makes the tick and what that means for the rest of humanity.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Written from the point of view of a diagnosed sociopath, it unveils these men and women who are &amp;ldquo;hiding in plain sight&amp;rdquo; for the very first time.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Confessions of a Sociopath&lt;/i&gt; is part confessional memoir, part primer for the wary. Drawn from Thomas&amp;rsquo; own experiences; her popular blog, Sociopathworld.com; and current and historical scientific literature, it reveals just how different &amp;ndash; and yet often very similar - sociopaths are from the rest of the world. The book confirms suspicions and debunks myths about sociopathy and is both the memoir of a high-functioning, law-abiding (well, mostly) sociopath and a roadmap &amp;ndash; right from the source - for dealing with the sociopath in your life, be it a boss, sibling, parent, spouse, child, neighbor, colleague or friend.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;As Thomas argues, while sociopaths aren't like everyone else, and it&amp;rsquo;s true some of them are incredibly dangerous, they are not inherently evil. In fact, they&amp;rsquo;re potentially more productive and useful to society than neurotypicals or &amp;ldquo;empaths,&amp;rdquo; as they fondly like to call &amp;ldquo;normal&amp;rdquo; people.&amp;nbsp; &lt;i&gt;Confessions of a Sociopath&lt;/i&gt; demystifyies sociopathic behavior and provide readers with greater insight on how to respond or react to protect themselves, live among sociopaths without becoming victims, and even beat sociopaths at their own game, through a bit of empathetic cunning and manipulation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

Why jealousy would send an otherwise level-headed person into a violent rage? What could drive a person to blow a family fortune at the blackjack tables?&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Or have you ever pondered what might make Mr. Right leave his beloved at the altar, why hypocrisy seems to be rampant, or even why, every once in awhile, even &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; are secretly tempted, to lie, cheat, or steal (or, conversely, help someone you never even met)? &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;This book answers these questions and more, and in doing so, turns the prevailing wisdom about who we are upside down. Our character, argue psychologists DeSteno and Valdesolo, isn&amp;rsquo;t a stable set of traits, but rather a shifting state that is subject to the constant push and pull of hidden mechanisms in our mind.&amp;nbsp; And it's the battle between these dueling psychological forces that determine how we act at any given point in time.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Drawing on the surprising results of the clever experiments concocted in their own laboratory, DeSteno and Valdesolo shed new scientific light on so many of the puzzling behaviors that regularly grace the headlines.&amp;nbsp; For example, you&amp;rsquo;ll learn:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;Why&lt;b&gt; Tiger Woods&lt;/b&gt; just couldn&amp;rsquo;t resist the allure of his mistresses even though he had a picture-perfect family at home. And why no one, including those who knew him best, ever saw it coming.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;Why even the shrewdest of investors can be tempted to gamble their fortunes away (and why risky financial behavior is driven by the same mechanisms that compel us to root for the underdog in sports).&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;Why&lt;b&gt; Eliot Spitzer&lt;/b&gt;, who made a career of crusading against prostitution, turned out to be one of the most famous johns of all time.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;Why &lt;b&gt;Mel Gibson&lt;/b&gt;, a noted philanthropist and devout Catholic, has been repeatedly caught spewing racist rants, even though close friends say he doesn&amp;rsquo;t have a racist bone in his body.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;And why &lt;b&gt;any of us&lt;/b&gt; is capable of doing the same, whether we believe it or not!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A surprising look at the hidden forces driving the saint and sinner lurking in us all, &lt;i&gt;Out of Character&lt;/i&gt; reveals why human behavior is so much more unpredictable than we ever realized.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&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;</description>

What is the appeal of domination and submission, and why are they so prevalent in erotic life? Why is it so difficult for men and women to meet as equals? Why, indeed, do hey continue to recapitulate the positions of master and slave?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In &lt;i&gt;The Bonds of Love&lt;/i&gt;, noted feminist theorist and psychoanalyst Jessica Benjamin explains why we accept and perpetuate relationships of domination and submission. She reveals that domination is a complex psychological process which ensnares both parties in bonds of complicity, and shows how it underlies our family life, our social institutions, and especially our sexual relations, in spite of our conscious commitment to equality and freedom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

Is bad biology partly to blame? For more than three decades Adrian Raine has been researching the biological roots of violence and establishing neurocriminology, a new field that applies neuroscience techniques to investigate the causes and cures of crime. In&lt;i&gt; The Anatomy of Violence&lt;/i&gt;, Raine dissects the criminal mind with a fascinating, readable, and far-reaching scientific journey into the body of evidence that reveals the brain to be a key culprit in crime causation. &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Raine documents from genetic research that the seeds of sin are sown early in life, giving rise to abnormal physiological functioning that cultivates crime. Drawing on classical case studies of well-known killers in history&amp;mdash;including Richard Speck, Ted Kaczynski, and Henry Lee Lucas&amp;mdash;Raine illustrates how impairments to brain areas controlling our ability to experience fear, make good decisions, and feel guilt predispose us to violence. He contends that killers can actually be coldhearted: something as simple as a low resting heart rate can give rise to violence. But arguing that biology is not destiny, he also sketches out provocative new biosocial treatment approaches that can change the brain and prevent violence. &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Finally, Raine tackles the thorny legal and ethical dilemmas posed by his research, visualizing a futuristic brave new world where our increasing ability to identify violent offenders early in life might shape crime-prevention policies, for good and bad. Will we sacrifice our notions of privacy and civil rights to identify children as potential killers in the hopes of helping both offenders and victims? How should we punish individuals with little to no control over their violent behavior? And should parenting require a license? &lt;i&gt;The Anatomy of Violence&lt;/i&gt; offers a revolutionary appraisal of our understanding of criminal offending, while also raising provocative questions that challenge our core human values of free will, responsibility, and punishment.&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;</description>

The difficulties and upsets encountered by both men are examined.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This lucid presentation of the dialectical process that carries Lacan through the evolution of Freud&amp;rsquo;s thought offers profound insights into the place of the &amp;ldquo;feminine mystique&amp;rdquo; in our social fabric. Patiently and carefully, Verhaeghe applies the Lacanian grid to Freud&amp;rsquo;s text and succeeds in explaining Lacan&amp;rsquo;s formulations without merely recapitulating his theories. The reader is informed, along the way, not only of Lacan&amp;rsquo;s take on Freudian ideas, but also of the array of interpretations emerging from other trends in post-Freudian literature, including feminist revisionism.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

How did Hitler become such an attractive figure to millions of people? That is the question at the core of &lt;i&gt;Hitler&amp;rsquo;s Charisma&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Acclaimed historian and documentary filmmaker Laurence Rees examines the nature of Hitler&amp;rsquo;s appeal and reveals the role his supposed &amp;ldquo;charisma&amp;rdquo; played in his success. Here is a fascinating social, psychological and historical investigation into the formation of a personality whose determination and vision would at the outset convince a small group of like-minded political and social outcasts but would eventually win over an entire nation and plunge the rest of the world into a cataclysm unlike any that had ever been seen before. &lt;i&gt;Hitler&amp;rsquo;s Charisma &lt;/i&gt;is a natural culmination of twenty years of writing and research on the Third Reich and a remarkable examination of the man and the mind at the heart of it all.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;(With 16 pages of black-and-white illustrations)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>
