Relationships abound in the library and information science (LIS)
world. Those relationships may be social in nature, as, for
instance, when we deal with human relationships among library
personnel or relationships (i. e. , "public relations") between an
information center and its clientele. The relationships may be
educational, as, for example, when we examine the relationship
between the curriculum of an accredited school and the needs of the
work force it is preparing students to join. Or the relationships
may be economic, as when we investigate the relationship between
the cost of journals and the frequency with which they are cited.
Many of the relationships of concern to us reflect phenomena
entirely internal to the field: the relationship between manuscript
collections, archives, and special collections; the relationship
between end user search behavior and the effectiveness of searches;
the relationship between access to and use of information
resources; the relationship between recall and precision; the
relationship between various bibliometric laws; etc. The list of
such relationships could go on and on. The relationships addressed
in this volume are restricted to those involved in the organization
of recorded knowledge, which tend to have a conceptual or semantic
basis, although statistical means are sometimes used in their
discovery.
In the advent of managed care and the continuing decline in
reimbursement felt across the various disciplines of mental health
have had profound impacts upon the quality and quantity of care in
the field. As it has become increasingly difficult for a
practitioner in private practice to provide a satisfactory level of
care while earning a living in the process, many clinicians have
become more innovative in the services they offer their clients.
This book pulls together a group of mental health professionals who
have branched out into new markets and services. A Practice that
Works represents an anthology of new knowledge in the field, as
chapter contributors describe in revealing detail their own
innovative techniques. After first describing the idea behind a
strategy such as Wilderness Therapy Programs, the editors discuss
the logistics of billing issues pertinent to the strategy and
provide practical steps to its implementation, follow-through and
development. Finally each chapter includes a 'testimonial' from the
editors before considering issues such as any other implications of
the strategy, how the strategy can fit into one's larger
therapeutic model, and how this new way of thinking has impacted
the author's life and practice. This timely book should appeal to
professionals in all areas of the mental health fields, and is
written in a general style that will not turn any of them away from
the innovative lessons to be gleaned from such a unique
compilation.

More than thirty-years after it was first diagnosed, Lyme disease
remains one of our most misunderstood - and pervasive illnesses.
This often undetected disorder is increasing at an alarming rate
and if not treated early, can cause debilitating symptoms. More
than 1.7 million people in the United States, Europe, and China
currently suffer from Lyme, yet they have often been unable to find
the right treatment and care. Finally, "Beating Lyme Disease" sheds
new light and offers those who struggle with it the guidance to get
the help they need. A respected health author and educator,
Constance Bean is an authority on this elusive illness. In 1993,
she was diagnosed with Lyme and has spent the past fourteen years
researching its various treatments and diagnoses. Compassionate and
thoroughly researched, this is the first book that will enable
doctors and their patients to diagnose, treat and conquer this
complex disease.
