It's no secret that we're all bombarded with negative messages. We're too fat, too thin, work too much, not enough. Combine this with the fact that we are far more critical of ourselves than we would be of others, and you can see why low self-esteem is a common and dangerous threat to many of us. Maintaining a strong and healthy self-esteem will help an individual be happy, successful and well-adjusted, but the consequences of negative self-esteem can be very severe: depression, anxiety, fragile relationships and a lifetime of unnecessary suffering.

Adolescence can be a difficult time for everyone, but for parents of teens on the autism spectrum it's particularly nerve-wracking. Parents must learn to protect their children from the dangers of an environment that is not always understanding of their disease while also providing them with the skills and support they need to live as independent a life as possible. "Adolescents on the Autism Spectrum" offers strategies for helping children, whatever their ability level, through the changes of the teenage years, and prepare them for adulthood. Using clear examples, practical advice, and supportive insights, it covers: how to help teenagers understand puberty and hygiene; the specific health risks of adolescence such as seizures and depression; preparing for life after secondary school; and, teenage emotions, sexuality, appropriate relationships and dating.

Doctoring the Mind : Why psychiatric treatments fail

Richard P. Bentall

Why is the Western world's treatment of mental illness so flawed? Who really benefits from psychiatry? And why would a patient in Nigeria have a much greater chance of recovery than one in the UK? In "Doctoring the Mind", leading clinical psychologist Richard Bentall reveals the shocking truths behind the system of mental health care in the West. With a heavy dependence on pills and the profit they bring, psychiatry has been relying on myths and misunderstandings of madness for too long, and builds on methods which can often hinder rather than help the patient. Bentall argues passionately for a new future of mental health, one that considers the patient as an individual and redefines our understanding and treatment of madness for the twenty-first century.

Some 20 million American families have a member with an undetected mental illness. The early signs of mental illness are detectable, and the earlier mental illness is treated, the higher the sufferer's chance of recovery. Yet there are few resources available to families, close friends, and first responders--teachers, emergency workers, pastors, and so forth--to help recognize the warning signs of mental illness. This book is a guide for people with questions about the disordered behavior of a family member or close loved one. It offers readers the step-by-step support and information for determining whether a loved one is suffering from a mental disorder and what to do about it. The book outlines the nine fundamental steps to recognizing, managing, and recovering from mental illness. It provides both diagnostic information and detailed information about therapy options and useful medication.

Insightful, witty, and fascinating, The Invisible Gorilla closely examines the false impressions that most profoundly influence our lives and gives practical advice on how we can minimize their negative impact.
If a gorilla walked out into the middle of a basketball pitch, you'd notice it. Wouldn't you? If a serious violent crime took place just next to you, you'd remember it, right? The Invisible Gorilla is a fascinating look at the unbelievable, yet routine tricks that your brain plays on you. In an award-winning and groundbreaking study, psychologists Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons asked volunteers to watch a 60-second film of a group of students playing basketball and told them to count the number of passes made. About halfway through, a woman dressed head to toe in a gorilla outfit slowly moved to centre screen, beat her chest at the camera, and casually strolled away. Unbelievably, almost half of the volunteers missed ...

The ordinary manner in which we carry ourselves physically, our automatic gestures and the accustomed comforts of our bodily habits inadvertently reinforce fear's hold on our lives. What Are Ypou Afraid Of? Explores how our fears often arise from physical and mental triggers that have been learned over the course of our early lives - and can be unlearned. Fear, explains award-winning movement teacher Lavinia Plonka, is not the product of intractable psychological demons; instead, it often revolves around repetitive body/mind cues. By teaching the body new habits through a series of exercises and postures, the cycle of fear can be broken.
