Volume V Part II of the comprehensive and authoritative Germany and the Second World War series completes the analysis (begun in Volume V/I) of the administration and exploitation of the German sphere of power and of the German war economy. The authors show how, despite military success and increasingly desperate efforts at mobilizing every resource for the war effort, it was becoming apparent that the Reich's strength was spent. The consequence was ever more ruthless oppression of the population and a frenzied elimination of 'ideological' and 'racial' opponents.
Many patients with stroke, head injuries or dementia suffer severe
memory impairment and in many cases improvement may fail to occur.
This book, first published in 1984 followed by this second edition
in 1992, offers practical guidelines to the problems and is
supported by a discussion of theory about memory systems and
functioning. It should enable therapists and psychologists to
recognize, understand, assess and manage memory problems arising
from injury, accident or infection of the brain. The authors are
well-known for their interest in memory and memory therapy. Topics
covered in this text include: the relationship between memory and
practice, assessment, methods for improving memory, organization of
memory therapy, selection of appropriate treatments for individual
patients, role of the microcomputer in memory rehabilitation, use
of drugs in stimulating memory, development of programmes to
improve attention and the treatment of the memory-impaired in
groups. This second edition has an update on drugs, electronic aids
and assessment procedures, with further evidence of the
effectiveness of memory therapy. This book would have been an asset
for those professionals involved in the rehabilitation of the
impaired memory at the time and can still be of value today.

This book assembles, for the first time, information required for
the recognition, understanding, and treatment of behavioral
problems resulting from neurological conditions. Its focus is
two-pronged: 1) on conditions where cognitive-behavioral
manifestations are major symptoms, such as attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder, autism, and developmental language
disorder; and 2) on conditions where these symptoms are significant
but secondary, such as brain tumors, epilepsy, and AIDS.
This multi-authored guide also outlines effective approaches to
behavioral therapy for these conditions. Pediatric Behavioral
Neurology is an excellent resource for practitioners whose work
demands knowledge of the symptoms, signs, and treatment of
behavioral and cognitive disorders caused by brain abnormalities.
It is comprehensive, yet concise and easy to use.
This outstanding new handbook offers unique coverage of all aspects
of neuropsychological rehabilitation. Compiled by the world's
leading clinician-researchers, and written by an exceptional team
of international contributors, the book is vast in scope, including
chapters on the many and varied components of neuropsychological
rehabilitation across the life span within one volume. Divided into
sections, the first part looks at general issues in
neuropsychological rehabilitation including theories and models,
assessment and goal setting. The book goes on to examine the
different populations referred for neuropsychological
rehabilitation and then focuses on the rehabilitation of first
cognitive and then psychosocial disorders. New and emerging
approaches such as brain training and social robotics are also
considered, alongside an extensive section on rehabilitation around
the world, particularly in under-resourced settings. The final
section offers some general conclusions and an evaluation of the
key issues in this important field. This is a landmark publication
for neuropsychological rehabilitation. It is the standalone
reference text for the field as well as essential reading for all
researchers, students and practitioners in clinical
neuropsychology, clinical psychology, occupational therapy, and
speech and language therapy. It will also be of great value to
those in related professions such as neurologists, rehabilitation
physicians, rehabilitation psychologists and medics.
The newest title in the series Survivor Stories, this book tells
the story of Paul Allen, a photographer who likes opera and was a
good baritone singer. At the age of 56 he sustained a stroke that
left him paralysed and speechless. He has Locked-In Syndrome (LIS),
a rare consequence of brain damage. Although Paul is fully
conscious and his cognitive abilities are intact, he is unable to
move or speak due to the paralysis of nearly all his voluntary
muscles. However, Paul is keen to communicate and through his eye
movements he tells his story, from his early life, career, singing
and other interests, to the details of his stroke and the effects
it has had on his life. The book also includes contributions from
Paul's wife Liz, who tells the story from her point of view, along
with Paul's physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech
therapists, psychologists and others from the Raphael Hospital who
have assisted in Paul's rehabilitation. In telling of his
frustrations, his successes, his views on life and how he sees his
future, Paul raises awareness of the quality of life possible for
those with LIS. Combining scientific knowledge with personal
narrative, this unique and optimistic book is of huge importance to
any professional involved in the care of someone with a brain
injury, and to the individuals and families touched by LIS.

Do you ever wonder why marriage can seem like the end of intimacy
and sexual desire instead of the beginning?
Ever wonder why it was so hard to resist sex before marriage-and so
easy to resist it now? If so, you're not alone Many married women
genuinely "want "to feel more desire toward their husbands...and
can't figure out what went wrong. But there's good news. In "Kiss
Me Again, "Barbara Wilson shows how powerful "invisible bonds" from
past relationships can cause heartache, disappointment, and
distance for couples in the present. Then-with sensitivity,
honesty, and hope-Barbara walks you step by step toward
healing...and a rekindling of the closeness and passion with your
husband that you really want.
You don't have to live any longer with confusion, disappointment,
resentment, or shame. You can rediscover desire. You can say "Wow
"again.
From Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the Church of Christian Science, to Deepak Chopra, Americans have struggled with the connection between health and happiness. Barbara Wilson was taught by her Christian Scientist family that there was no sickness or evil, and that by maintaining this belief she would be protected. But such beliefs were challenged when Wilson's own mother died of breast cancer after deciding not to seek medical attention, having been driven mad by the contradiction between her religion and her reality. In this perceptive and textured memoir, Wilson surveys the complex history of Christian Science and the role of women in religion and healing.
