Optimism oozes out of the pages, telling the bipolar beholder or their loved ones that all is never lost. By the time "The Bipolar Expeditionist" has been read you will realise exactly why you will never be left alone, and that despite the agonizing slog you will always past the test, and then go on to enjoy a fulfilling and creative life, just as God intended.

R1,042 Discovery Miles 10 420 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Moral injury has developed in earnest since 2009 within psychology and military studies, especially through work with veterans of the U.S. military's wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. A major part of this work is the attempt to identify means of healing, recovery, and repair for those morally injured by their experiences in combat (or similar situations). What this volume does is to provide insight into the identification of moral injury, the development of the notion, attempts to work with those affected, emerging ideas about moral injury, portraits of moral injury in the past and present, and, especially, what creative engagement with moral injury might look like from a variety of perspectives. As such, it will be an important resource for Christian ministers, chaplains, health care workers, and other providers and caregivers who serve afflicted communities.

Weary Warriors - Power, Knowledge, and the Invisible Wounds of Soldiers (Paperback): Pamela Moss, Michael J. Prince Weary Warriors - Power, Knowledge, and the Invisible Wounds of Soldiers (Paperback)
Pamela Moss, Michael J. Prince
R559 Discovery Miles 5 590 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

As seen in military documents, medical journals, novels, films, television shows, and memoirs, soldiers' invisible wounds are not innate cracks in individual psyches that break under the stress of war. Instead, the generation of weary warriors is caught up in wider social and political networks and institutions-families, activist groups, government bureaucracies, welfare state programs-mediated through a military hierarchy, psychiatry rooted in mind-body sciences, and various cultural constructs of masculinity. This book offers a history of military psychiatry from the American Civil War to the latest Afghanistan conflict. The authors trace the effects of power and knowledge in relation to the emotional and psychological trauma that shapes soldiers' bodies, minds, and souls, developing an extensive account of the emergence, diagnosis, and treatment of soldiers' invisible wounds.

ADHD Medication - Does It Work and Is It Safe? (Hardcover): Walt Karniski, MD ADHD Medication - Does It Work and Is It Safe? (Hardcover)
Walt Karniski, MD
R930 Discovery Miles 9 300 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Answers the two most important questions about the use of medication to treat ADHD. Does medication work? And is it safe? In ADHD Medication, Dr. Walt Karniski uses his 40 years of experience as a developmental pediatrician to address important concerns that parents have about the use of medication for the treatment of ADHD. Because there is no medical diagnostic test to definitively "make a diagnosis" of ADHD, it is easy for critics to dismiss ADHD as a disorder fabricated by doctors, teachers, and pharmaceutical companies. Some parents blame themselves, and react with guilt, believing that they should have raised their child differently. So when you are presented with the diagnosis of a medical disorder in your child, is it any wonder that you might react with confusion, guilt, or denial? It doesn't have to be that way. Parents are surprised to learn that there are almost 50 different medications used to treat ADHD, representing only two primary medications. This book addresses such issues as how to determine if medication is needed, how to decide which medication is the right fit for your child, whether children can outgrow ADHD, how to eliminate medication side effects, and how you can discuss the need for medication with your child. Most importantly though, this book answers the questions: Does ADHD medication work, and is it safe? This book is a powerful resource for parents and practitioners alike seeking to understand the treatment of ADHD in children.

R774 Discovery Miles 7 740 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Helps parents manage the stresses of adolescent achievement culture and to make decisions which align with their values, rather than their anxiety. WHEN WORRY WORKS responds to one of the primary sources of the nation's worsening adolescent mental health crisis - achievement pressure. Burdened by the mounting pressures on today's youth, parents seek ways to strike the balance between supporting their teens' current well-being while also setting them up for future success. Eager to take action and to manage their escalating fears, parents inadvertently and unknowingly exacerbate the problem by overlooking their own parental achievement anxiety. Based on thirty years of clinical practice and her experiences raising her own teenagers in New York City, the work demonstrates that when parents become aware of their individual anxieties and learn to effectively manage them, they are empowered to make values aligned, rather than worry driven parenting decisions. Dr. Dorfman provides practical evidence-based parenting strategies, exercises, and reflective prompts to guide parents through a process to constructively apply to their day-to-day parenting decisions.

A Beautiful Mind - The Life of Mathematical Genius and Novel Laureate John Nash (Paperback): Sylvia Nasar A Beautiful Mind - The Life of Mathematical Genius and Novel Laureate John Nash (Paperback)
Sylvia Nasar
R596 R552 Discovery Miles 5 520 Save R44 (7%) Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"HOW COULD YOU, A MATHEMATICIAN, BELIEVE THAT EXTRATERRESTRIALS WERE SENDING YOU MESSAGES?" the visitor from Harvard asked the West Virginian with the movie-star looks and Olympian manner. "Because the ideas I had about supernatural beings came to me the same way my mathematical ideas did," came the answer. "So I took them seriously."

Thus begins the true story of John Nash, the mathematical genius who was a legend by age thirty when he slipped into madness, and who--thanks to the selflessness of a beautiful woman and the loyalty of the mathematics community--emerged after decades of ghostlike existence to win a Nobel Prize for triggering the game theory revolution. The inspiration for an Academy Award-winning movie, Sylvia Nasar's now-classic biography is a drama about the mystery of the human mind, triumph over adversity, and the healing power of love.
