Book Description

Referred to as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology" by The New York Times, this study examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition with surveys from 6,500 adults in more than 2,500 counties across China and Taiwan, and conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as curbing obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that are widely popular in the West. The politics of nutrition and the impact of special interest groups in the creation and dissemination of public information are also discussed.

Surprising statistics!.......2007-10-13

The data and information were very convincing. They back up the claims made by Joel Fuhrman in his book "Eat to Live". I am rapidly losing my desire for meat and animal protein of any kind.

The China Study.......2007-10-07

Great book. Have read a few pages and am very interested. Seems like it's going to be a book that many people should read. It was recommended to me by someone in my Sunday School class.

The China Study.......2007-10-05

This is one of the best books on nutrition for the professional and the lay persons.

This book says it all, once and for all.......2007-10-04

I'll keep this short and sweet: stop eating animal food, because animal protein and animal fat in dietary amounts will activate the carcinogens already in your body to produce cancer. Period. Man was *never meant* to consume animal food in the amounts he does, to say nothing about the drugs, antibiotics, hormones and the rest of the crap that the animal food industry laces it with. The sooner you eliminate meat, fish, fowl and dairy from your diet, the better off you and yours will be.

china study - review.......2007-10-04

Read this book - it could save your life. Probably the most important, definitive book on diet and health ever written. It was easy to read, hard to put down. One of our country's senior researchers tells the compelling story of his suprising discoveries and what that means for all of us. Thankyou Dr. Campbell - you've given me and my family a priceless gift.

An indispensable new appendix offers a concise guide to weaving cultural information into assessment and intervention planning.

Ethnicities and Culture.......2007-03-27

This book was suggested to me by one of my professor's who happens to teach a family counseling course. She suggested that we buy this book to use in our future practices. Since I have purchased the book, I have already referred to it twice. It is highly detailed and knowledgable. I was able to use if for a presentation and for a resource on a college exit exam. I highly recommend this book to those who seek further knowledge and information on various cultures. It reviews all nationalities and cultures that exist in today's society.

Ethnicity and Family Therapy, Third Edition.......2007-01-09

This is an extremely valuable and important resource for clinicians. It provides cultural overviews that can be used in clinical work and teaching. It is a wonderful desktop resource that can facilitate the essential process of cultural consideration in clinical work with families. Monica McGoldrick's writing is clear and enjoyable.

Excellent read.......2007-01-09

OK, this book wouldn't seem especially fun to read, and I'll admit that a counselor friend had to recommend it to me, but I find it simply fascinating. As I read through the chapters about my family's heritage, I really found it compelling that many of the the behaviors and values that I take for granted are not simply from my family, but are in large measure common to my ethnicity. Then, as I read about the heritage of my fiancee's family, it really put things into perspective for me. Behaviors that I might have found rude or offensive in my cultural framework have a perfectly natural, and honorable, root in thiers. If understanding is the key to acceptance, this book really helped me understand and communicate much better, and begin to accept and live within different cultures. This book gives an excellent framework to explain how different ethnicitys come to value different things. Highly recommended.

A great way to expand cultural knowledge.......2006-11-10

This is a wonderful and easy to read book that attempts to educate the reader about the culture and divesity of various ethnic groups. The book is divided into racial categories, which are subdivided into specific countries to give the reader a flavor of the diversity within these groups. Anyone who works with ethnic minorities should read this book to get a general sense of how cultural similarities and differences within racial and cultural categories impact family dynamics, the theraputic experience, and adjustment into the American culture.

Very Relevant.......2006-08-07

This is a great book for finding out how to bring people of differing race to an understanding. For instance, I remember one example where White students, approximately between the ages of thirteen and sixteen, were, as part of a therapeutic course, required to refer to all Black people in their environment as 'sir'.This simple sign of respect was a great way to dismantle racism.

I hated this book. It was a required text for a graduate level Intro to Family Therapy course, and although I appreciate that graduate level coursebooks are supposed to require the ability to decipher complicated language, this book was boring and uninteresting to a fault.
Don't buy it, and show your prof's this comment! There HAVE to be better written texts out there -- somewhere!

Cram Scam.......2007-01-10

What a waste of time and $$. This book is basically a list of the vocabulary words with empty pages for notes. The front cover states 'includes all of the highlights, outlines, and notes for the textbook' - that's true if your version of notetaking and outlining is copying the keywords and their definitions. There are no graphics, webs, tables, charts, or any kind of visual or organizational material. There is an online membership offered that includes practice tests, but it is $4.95 extra, regularly $9.95. Don't waste your time or money - buy the textbook and use their resources.

Thus far this book has been easy to read and informative, detailing the incredibly useful theories and principles of Family Therapy.

Great Over view of Family Therapy Theory.......2007-09-09

I used this book for a master class. It has great over views of family therapy theory. Well worth reading.

Really Good... as far as it goes, but the editorializing is odd.......2007-06-01

What I like: There's very little of significance in the field that Nichols and Schwartz have failed to include in the series of seven editions, and they're so deep in the trenches and so well-connected to the ground-breakers that each new edition will pretty reliably cover the latest developments, techniques and empirical research. It's hard to think of anyone else who's doing as -thorough- a job of grounding newcomers as these guys. That said...

What I don't like: The authors seem to have -some- continuing biases against proven philosophy, method and empirical data from the medical model, existential, interpersonal (this really -is- surprising) and other schools of thought and practice that make me continue to scratch my scalp when I run into them. Also... I get further, -faster-, with the Karpman Drama Triangle than almost any other tool I have in the box... and this series has ignored it since the git.

Useful Book.......2006-06-20

I purchased this book for a graduate level course in family therapy. I found it very helpful in explaining the important theories of family therapy. It also highlights therapeutic techniques and provides vignettes of how the theory might apply in a real life situation. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a basic theoretical background in family therapy.

Required text book.......2006-03-10

I bought this book because it is a requirement for a graduate level class I am taking in the MSW program where I live, otherwise I don't know that I would have purchased it. However, it is full of good research information and practical applications with clients.

Student review.......2006-01-05

As a graduate student, I found this book very helpful. It is a perfect introduction to the subject writen with the care that teaches well. I would recommend this for any library that needs an excellent broad overview.

Book Description

For the 70 percent of couples who have been affected by extramarital affairs, this is the only book to offer proven strategies for surviving the crisis and rebuilding the relationship –– written by a nationally known therapist considered an expert on infidelity.

When I was 15, I was raped. That was nothing compared to your affair. The rapist was a stranger; you, I thought, were my best friend.

There is nothing quite like the pain and shock caused when a partner has been unfaithful. The hurt partner often experiences a profound loss of self–respect and falls into a depression that can last for years. For the relationship, infidelity is often a death blow.

After the Affair is the first book to help readers survive this crisis. Written by a clinical psychologist who has been treating distressed couples for 22 years, it guides both hurt and unfaithful partners through the three stages of healing: Normalizing feelings, deciding whether to recommit and revitalizing the relationship. It provides proven, practical advice to help the couple change their behavior toward each other, cultivate trust and forgiveness and build a healthier, more conscious intimate partnership.

After The Affair.......2007-09-26

My son-in-law absolutely loved the book. Hasn't stopped talking about how it helped him deal with various issues.

From the HURT party.......2007-09-06

This book was very painful to read as the "hurt" party. It makes you revisit very painful experiences and feelings, which I had dealt with already. The unfaithful party would rate it 5.

Saved my sanity and hopefully my marriage.......2007-07-20

I felt so lost and out of control, I didn't know where to turn - so immediately searched for a book on the subject of infidelity. I was at first hesitant after reading a review claiming the author places blame for the affair on the betrayed spouse -BUT - After reading this book as a betrayed spouse, I believe this is NOT the case.

What she DOES do is address both the wayward spouse and the betrayed spouse equally when taking an honest and often hard look at the relationship before the Affair took place - where there was breakdown in the marriage that may have lead up to the affair. She does clearly state that the wayward spouse IS responsible for their actions and the affair - after all, no one can FORCE someone to CHEAT.

But thankfully, this books delves far beyond finger pointing, and looks for a way to bring partners back toward one another, by dealing with issues in the marriage rather than sweeping them under the carpet. It does this in a supportive, non-judgmental way, that both sides can feel comfortable pursuing. And she gives us simple yet important exercises to do, and action plans to follow, to help us get there. It's a book to be devoured in one sitting, and then read and reread countless times as needed through the different stages of grieving and healing. This book is a true marriage saver - at least, it is for us, and I hope it can be for you, too.

Let me put it as simply as I can:
I (Betrayed Wife) couldn't put this book down, I was so thirsty for understanding - and cried tears of relief when I felt validated in both my feelings and reactions surrounding the discovery of the infidelity.

My husband (Wayward Husband) skimmed through the book with great interest, then went straight to the closest bookstore and bought his own copy. We both now are in our second readings, all the while making lots of notes in the margins, and doing the simple exercises that pop up from time to time. It has helped us to each understand what the other spouse is going through and may be thinking, and has helped us find a way to relate to one another productively.

We have come a long way in two short weeks, and although I know we still have a long way to go, I don't think we would have made it this far (and remained best friends, as we are) without the help in this book.

In fact, the end chapters on Forgiveness are so good, we've also purchased 'How Can I Forgive You' by the same author, to delve even deeper into the moving forward stage of healing and forgiving.

I would recommend these books immediately to any woman I love - and to any couple or man I care deeply about, too - if they found themselves facing infidelity.

For anyone out there hurting this much right now, I feel your pain, confusion and shock - and want you to know you aren't alone. Get this book and you'll see what I mean - you won't be sorry you did.

Excellent Resource for Surviving and Growing after Infidelity.......2007-05-23

After the Affair is a comprehensive and insightful manual that has provided extraordinary help in my life and Im sure will help millions. It helped me to get through the crisis and shock after finding out that my partner was having an affair. It explained the "normal" feelings and helped me to gain insight into what i was going through. After an affair there are of course choices you have. You can stay with your partner and make a committment to working on the relationship or you can move on to the new adventure that awaits you. This time in your life can be truly transformative. This book offers practical information on rebuilding trust if you choose that path. Personally I got a lot out of the book but I chose to move on with my life. The answer lies within your heart. You just need to listen closely. Highly recommended reading for anyone dealing with this challenging situation.

Not my favorite.......2007-05-13

I was not impressed by the advice in this book.I think no two affairs are the same, neither are all waywards or all betrayed spouses.Her approach seemed to be very one size fits all.Maybe it will help some people but it doesn't help all.The old adage of bad marriage=affair needs to be looked at again.Sometimes there are seriously messed up people that have affairs and fixing the 'broken marriage' will NOT fix them.

People joke that the start of a couple's marriage means the end of their sex life. David Schnarch, a sex therapist praised by Pepper Schwartz, uses epiphany-laden conversations taken directly from his own marriage and the married couples he sees in practice to help readers defy the myth that marriages are necessarily passionless, and instead prove that the longer a couple has been together, the higher the fireworks can fly. It's especially aimed at older couples who, Schnarch says, are self-actualized and therefore better able to handle intimacy than younger partners. "People have difficulty with intimacy because they're supposed to," he says, and goes on in this inspiring book to combine elements of marriage therapy and sex therapy to bring plenty of practical, fresh ideas to the crowd of mostly vapid relationship books. (Note that despite its title, it's for any emotionally committed couple, not just married folks.)

Schnarch says that a man is more likely to let a relationship suffer in order to hold on to his sense of self, while a woman is more apt to let her identity suffer to help strengthen it. Schnarch gives explicit tips on how to alter this pattern, an essential step he calls "differentiation." He also explains why compromise isn't always the best route to take when conflicts arise. The couples profiled here deal with the usual suspects: uneven sexual desire and initiation, battles about oral sex, self-image problems, the "boondoggle" of trust (both of one's self and one's partner), and the specter of divorce. Instead of focusing on each client's weaknesses, Schnarch teaches how to find inner strength and resilience that can be used to reaffirm a relationship and reignite sex. William H. Masters of Masters and Johnson fame calls this book "a classic," and no wonder. --Erica Jorgensen

Helpful, but dense.......2007-09-26

The concepts of emotional fusion and differentiation were very helpful as were some of the recommended techniques for overcoming unhealthy dynamics of emotional fusion. The book certainly helped me understand the destructive dynamics of some of my relationships. Unfortunately, the writing is very, very dense and difficult to read. There's also a lot of unnecessary repetition. Overall, I would buy the book again but would also be more willing to skim all but the first 5 chapters.

Transformational.......2007-09-18

Was given a copy of PM from our family practice doc when I went in for severe marriage-related anxiety. Schnarch's focus on transforming ourselves into better people (and thus partners) rather than doling out techniques has completely changed my way of thinking about myself and my marriage. I know now that marital problems are the normal process by which we are forced to confront ourselves and improve over the course of our lives, rather than being things to avoid. Couldn't recommend this book more strongly.

Best Book on Relationships.... EVER.......2007-07-12

This book literally changed my life. I read A LOT and have read many self-help books. David Schnarch has a way of connecting with you right from the start and his real-life examples are a way of helping you to realize that every couple has issues to deal with.

I have recommended this book to so many friends for so many reasons and no one has been disappointed with it. As a matter of fact they are now recommending it to their friends. Don't miss out on a chance to make your marriage/life/relationship better and more fulfilling.

Ambiguous, disappointing.......2007-06-06

The key concepts of this guide to marriage are: 1. that low-desire and high-desire are equally valid, 2. that the low-desire partner controls what happens in the bedroom and, 3. that the high-desire partner has to become more "differentiated", able to "self-sooth" [masturbate?] and thus become emotionally detached from the other's behaviour.

Schnarch claims that almost every couple attending his workshops, subsequently enjoys more satisfying and more frequent sex. Yet, if the author were correct in his assertion that low-desire and high-desire are equally valid, a similar number of couples would have been satisfied with the status quo or with even less intimate, less frequent sex.

While Schnarch correctly states that the low-desire partner controls the bedroom, he fails to draw the obvious conclusion: That, if the low-desire partner is not interested in changing, not interested in taking steps towards a more satisfying relationship, the strategy for the high-desire partner may be to reverse roles by becoming the low-desire partner, thus taking control away from the low-desire partner.

For most high-desire partners, the only way to achieve this is to find fulfilment elsewhere, probably in the arms of another.

Hardly a recipe though, for "keeping love and intimacy alive in committed relationships."

In summary: While helping some couples towards a better marriage, this book fails to live up to its claim, that one partner can necessarily mend the relationship without cooperation from the other.

the best relationship book.......2007-06-05

This book is an essential book for couples and for therapists. What I got from reading this book was that the best thing couples can do for their relationship is to keep on growing as an individual and to develop the ability to self-soothe, and to manage the aggression in the relationship. People often have the notion that passion dies as the novelty wears off, but this book asserts that physical intimacy is actually most possible in relationships that are long-term, monogamous, and high in emotional intimacy. I like the openness, candor, and hopefulness in this book, and can't recommend it highly enough.

You are not alone anymore when you read Feeling Good. The keys are clearly given for the root causes of depression and anxiety and then you are lead to hope to unlock the door of feeling good. It will take effort and belief but it is truth that will get you out of the pit if you really want out and want to feel good instead of bad. It is one aspect of overcoming depression. I would also recommend lifestyle therapy such as diet and exercise changes.

Book buying customer.......2007-08-28

My shrink suggested I buy Feeling Good so I did. It's a good book that has obviously been written by someone who's done a lot of research on the subject of depression. But that's the problem, for me it's too much research.
The book is longer than a depressed person has patience to read. It's over 700 pages and all that is packaged in a small paperback. All I want is the results of the research not hundreds of pages of studies and survays and research. I know it's good to know all this stuff but as a depressed person I don't really care about it. All I'm interested in is in dealing with the depression. Bottom line, I havn't finished the book yet because it's too much like a text book and that's hardly what I need.

Other than that, as I say, it's a good book with a lot of information if you have time to either read it all or try and find the info you're looking for without putting it away for later.

Excellent - this one's a great size for carrying in car, backpack or purse.......2007-08-27

Down to earth, everyday helpful, and the reverse role-playing exercises Dr. Burns uses with his patients and relates to us in this book are not only funny, witty, amusing and interesting, they are spot-on in their usefulness.

Overview of several couple therapies.......2006-03-22

This is a collection of chapters written about couple and marital therapy. The chapters are authored by recognized experts in the different therapies, and contain theoretical background, techniques, and case examples. It provides a general overview of the therapies, without going in great detail about any of them.

Wonderful updating--worth buying, even if you have the original!.......2007-08-27

Such helpful medication information, pro's and con's, comprehsinve lists of detailed dietary conflicts with certain meds. All of this added PLUS his excellent cognitive behavior therapy!

Feel Better.......2007-08-26

This is a great "How To" book for this type of illness. Mental illness is sooo cloudy in it's diagnose and treatment but this book is very helpful. You may never talk your loved one into getting help but this book will provide some "clue" into what is needed.

Very Practical.......2007-08-23

This book was recommended to me by a fantastic professional counselor and it has been very helpful to me. Dr. Burns has some great exercises in this book where you write down your "automatic thoughts" about anything that is causing you stress. You identify any distortions in your thinking (which are listed out for you) and then you write a new thought. I have found my depression greatly reduced as I "fix" my faulty thinking.

Feeling Good Handbook.......2007-08-05

I have only purchased the book for one section - communication with spouse. That section was really good and informative and helped a lot. I cannot comment for the rest of the chapters.

The Feeling Good Handbook.......2007-06-27

An excellent reference for understanding depression, anxiety and other difficulties of living life. It is also interesting to just sit down and read to get in touch with your own feelings.
