With over 400 types of psychotherapy available, ranging from the highly effective to the highly questionable to the downright fraudulent, the task of choosing a therapist can be daunting. Now, Am I Crazy, Or Is It My Shrink? gives you all the information you need to get the most effective help and to know when your therapy is working--or when it's time for a change. Drawing on years of practical experience and the most up-to-date research, the authors give you expert guidance on all the issues you should consider, whether you're seeking therapy or uncertain about the therapy you're receiving: What questions should I ask my therapist about a recommended treatment? What personal qualities and professional qualifications should I look for in a therapist? What do research studies say about the effectiveness of a particular therapy? How do I recognize when a therapist is not right for me? How can I tell when my therapist's behavior is unethical or unprofessional? What strategies can I use to evaluate my progress? The authors also provide an overview of the main branches of psychotherapy and suggest which approaches are best suited to the most commonly occurring problems, such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorders, eating disorders, relationship and sexual difficulties, and many others. Finally, the authors stress that because therapies don't come with warning labels, and because a therapist will typically apply his or her theory to whoever walks through the door, regardless of their unique symptoms and circumstances, it is essential to choose your therapist wisely, with as much forethought as possible. Am I Crazy, Or Is It My Shrink? empowers you to make that choice with confidence and to be a knowledgeable participant in your own treatment.

For most of us, life is spent in one vast electromagnetic field. In the office we sit in front of computer terminals, at home, in front of the television. We cook our meals in microwave ovens, trim our hedges with electric shears, illuminate our houses, workplaces, and streets with incandescent and fluorescent lighting. And until only recently, the potential hazards imposed by life in the shadows of high-voltage power lines have hardly been considered. First published in 1973, Power Over People was the first book to address the frightening potential side effects of our dependence on electrical energy. Now brought up to date with a new introduction, and including an epilogue that offers the most current studies and findings available today, this classic book is more timely than ever. Louise Young here lays bare the short-sighted, materialistic policies of the electric power industry, showing how power and the conglomerates that produce it have clearly won out over rights and safety concerns of people. She provides disturbing documentary evidence that demonstrates how long-term exposure to radiation from power lines can cause brain cancer, childhood leukemia, as well as damage to the nervous system. Through the course of the book we come to understand that what is often blindly accepted as "progress" can mean the inexorable advance of environmental destruction and the withering-rather than enhancing-of the quality of life in America. Based on a case-study of a small, rural community in Ohio, Young shows in compelling fashion what happens when a grass-roots group of concerned citizens resists the construction of the world's largest electrical transmission towers, literally in their own backyards. Her story of their ultimate failure becomes a stinging indictment of indifferent government agencies and the lax laws that fail to protect the environment. Lively, readable, and, at times, even shocking, this is a book for environmentally-minded and safety-conscious readers of the 1990s. Its wealth of information, its incisive analysis, and its bold confrontation of facts we can no longer afford to ignore make Power Over People a book everyone should read and reflect upon.
"Some day, consumer information sources like those envisaged by Snider and Ziporyn will materialize. The more this book is read, the sooner it will happen." -F.M. Scherer, Professor of Business and Government, Harvard University For hundreds of years the marketplace has been growing more complex and more confusing for consumers to navigate. Published in 1992, long before the Internet became a household world. "Future Shop" argued that new information technologies, combined with innovative public policies, could help consumers overcome that confusion. A prescient manifesto of the coming revolution in e-commerce, "Future Shop"'s vision of consumer empowerment still resonates today.

The essential guide to producing a dream wedding--at tax-deductible costs. Some 2.4 million weddings occur annually in the United States, with $29,327 being the average bill. While the numbers may vary considerably, there is one almost universal truth (regardless of how the economy is faring): pre-wedding finances look "very" different than post-wedding finances. Indeed, many couples go into long-term debt, turning wedding bliss can turn into marriage blues faster than a bride can throw back her bouquet. But this needn't be the case. In "The Tax-Deductible Wedding," Sabrina Rivers provides practical advice for producing a dream wedding the tax-deductible way. Most people are not aware, for example, that a wedding or reception held at a museum or national park can mean a big tax deduction. Or that they can seek sponsors (really ). Rivers not only discusses the how-tos, but also gently guides readers through the entire process--and even includes a section on tax-deductible honeymoons Replete with tips, anecdotes, Q&A sessions, checklists, resources, and more for today's cost-conscious wedding planners, "The Tax-Deductible Wedding "is one resource no couple can afford to be without. Topics include: * What is a tax-deductible wedding? * Finding a sponsor * The beauty of bartering * The eco-friendly wedding * The tax-deductible honeymoon * Success stories of real couples |
