Behrend, a seasoned caregiver, has created a journal for seniors to complete and share with current or future caregivers that encourages comforting care instigated by original wishes. Behrend, who has provided loving care for both her parents for several years, offers a guidebook that allows needs to be honored, providing an organized, clear, and concise method for seniors to effectively communicate before illness strikes. Following her carefully planned structure, seniors complete questions that cover necessities-such as hygiene, clothing, sleeping habits and patterns, and food likes and dislikes-as well as details like favorite music, television shows, and movies. This approach gives an often overlooked glimpse into what brings the person being cared for the most comfort and happiness in life. It's All about (the Older) Me provides an avenue for seniors to voice their basic needs to family members and caregivers, allowing an easier transition into aging gracefully and with dignity.

This engagingly written survey covers the history of anxiety disorders and current approaches to their definition and treatment. Anxiety disorders are significant mental health illnesses that impair lives and cost society millions of dollars in health care expenses and lost productivity. Greater awareness of anxiety disorders is essential for both the general public and health professionals if those who suffer from them are to be identified, receive proper treatment, and have a chance at leading fulfilling lives. To that end, Anxiety begins with a historical overview of the ways in which anxiety disorders have been understood, from the prehistoric era until the present time, examining the disorders from the perspectives of conceptualization, classification, research, and treatment. Subsequent chapters examine these themes in light of our current understanding and approaches to anxiety disorders. Current diagnostic and assessment methods are discussed, as are modern treatment options. The book concludes with a survey of the future directions in research for the understanding and treatment of anxiety disorders.

As a psychologist, Denice Jeffery helped others learn to face their greatest fears with courage and integrity. But on a dark day in 2005, she would need to learn how to apply those same support strategies to her own life. That day, she learned that she had breast cancer. Just five years later, she was told that the cancer had metastasized, spreading throughout her body. A remarkable journey began then; now, she is officially in complete remission. Here, she shares her experiences honestly and intimately. Although she had radiation, she refused chemotherapy in favor of more natural therapies. She bravely rejected her terminal diagnosis and started on a race for her very life, hoping to unearth complementary strategies that could potentially ensure her survival. In Part One, she invites you into the life of a patient who refused to accept that there was nothing to be done. In Part Two she details the strategies, supplements, and protocols she used to overcome her cancer. Her story, from diagnosis to complete remission and how she achieved that transformation, offers hope to anyone facing cancer. "Not wanting to give up and just hand over to chemotherapy, Ms Jeffery did her research and found a variety of alternatives that each had good, if largely anecdotal successes, but which made sense to her in terms of theory. She also did a voyage through her own psyche to smooth the path, and in the end, has won the day and shares it all with the reader." -Dr. Val Lewis, Noosa Heads, Queensland, Australia

The time is a twenty-year period of history between 1914 and 1934, and is the story of a young man caught between two worlds and two generations. This is exemplified in the "Old World," represented by his country of Ireland, amidst the turmoil of a World War, and the civil conflicts within; and a "New World," with America as its symbol of newness and change. "The War To End All Wars" marked the end of the traditional ways of life for an older generation in Europe, and created the beginnings of a new, free, more open society across the Atlantic. This new emerging generation was reflected in an America which opened its shores to those who brought with them the ambition and optimism to overcome all obstacles. We follow Michael Philbin from boyhood to young manhood, as he flees the violence and tragedy of his country to seek a future in an unknown land which may enable him to fulfill his destiny. The tale of Michael Philbin and his quest represents the bridge between those two generations. Yet the best of both eras will eventually forge a unique blend of people, tempered by the horrors of war, and hardened by the onslaught of an economic depression. This is a story about one of that generation.
