Written by recognized leaders in this dynamic and rapidly expanding
field, Indium Nitride and Related Alloys provides a clear and
comprehensive summary of the present state of knowledge in indium
nitride (InN) research. It elucidates and clarifies the often
confusing and contradictory scientific literature to provide
valuable and rigorous insight into the structural, optical, and
electronic properties of this quickly emerging semiconductor
material and its related alloys. Drawing from both theoretical and
experimental perspectives, it provides a thorough review of all
data since 2001 when the band gap of InN was identified as 0.7 eV.
The superior transport and optical properties of InN and its alloys
offer tremendous potential for a wide range of device applications,
including high-efficiency solar cells and chemical sensors. Indeed,
the now established narrow band gap nature of InN means that the
InGaN alloys cover the entire solar spectrum and InAlN alloys span
from the infrared to the ultraviolet. However, with unsolved
problems including high free electron density, difficulty in
characterizing p-type doping, and the lack of a lattice-matched
substrate, indium nitride remains perhaps the least understood
III-V semiconductor. Covering the epitaxial growth, experimental
characterization, theoretical understanding, and device potential
of this semiconductor and its alloys, this book is essential
reading for both established researchers and those new to the
field.
Emetophobia can have a huge impact on daily life, from avoiding
certain foods and alcohol to worrying about travel, pregnancy,
hygiene and caring for loved ones when they are ill. This self-help
guide will help you to better understand emetophobia and give you
the tools to overcome it. Using proven cognitive behavioural
therapy (CBT) including exposure and response prevention (ERP)
techniques, this book will support you to: · Understand what
emetophobia is and what keeps it going · Identify your problems
and goals · Set out a step-by-step plan to challenge and defeat
your emetophobia · Overcome common challenges and setbacks. The
book also includes guidance on medical treatment and advice for
friends, partners and family of adults and young people with
emetophobia.
The first book offering support for parents and carers of children
and young people with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), this
guidebook explains the condition as well as the impact that it may
have in education settings, family life and socialisation. The
guide begins by explaining how and why BDD emerges, before moving
onto an exploration of how the mental health condition presents
itself emotionally, psychologically, physically and behaviourally.
It then offers practical advice and guidance for parents and carers
on talking to their child about BDD, seeking professional
treatment, considering medication, managing social media use,
working with schools to build a recovery team and more. The
Parent's Guide to Body Dysmorphic Disorder is an essential
guidebook for parents of children of children and young people with
BDD.
A fear of vomiting is estimated to impact 119 million adults,
teenagers, and children in the English-speaking world. This
much-needed guide to the diagnosis and treatment of emetophobia
includes an overview of current literature and research, in
addition to illuminating case studies of different presentations.
It contains guidance on how to employ evidence-based treatments,
specifically CBT and exposure and response prevention (ERP), as
well as other approaches to treatment, such as ACT for all ages.
The arsenal of research and experience, both professional and
personal, provided by Clinical Psychologist Dr David Russ and
Registered Clinical Counsellor Anna S. Christie makes this book a
must-have for mental health professionals treating emetophobia.
How you can stop worrying about your health and enjoy life 'This
book not only helps sufferers to better understand the nature of
the problem, but also provides them with the skills necessary to
overcome it and to regain quality of life' Professor Paul
Salkovskis, Professor of Experimental Psychology, University of
Oxford Many of us have a tendency to worry unnecessarily about our
health. For some the anxiety becomes severe and persistent. This
can involve spending many hours checking for symptoms, seeking
reassurance from others, surfing the internet for information about
different diseases, or repeatedly visiting the doctor. It is
distressing for them and for everyone around them. In fact, health
anxiety can be very successfully treated with cognitive behavioural
therapy (CBT) - the approach taken in this self-help guide. Using a
structured, step-by-step approach the authors explain how the
problem develops, how to recognise what feeds it and how to develop
effective methods of dealing with it. This book includes: -
Questionnaires, case studies and exercises - Chapters on fear of
death and on medication Overcoming self-help guides use clinically
proven techniques to treat long-standing and disabling conditions,
boith psychological and physical. READING WELL This book is
recommended by the national Reading Well scheme for England and
Wales delivered by The Reading Agency and the Society of Chief
Librarians with funding from Arts Council England and Wellcome.

Depression is one of the most common mental health problems and
affects 121 million people at any time. It is recognised by the
World Health Organisation as one of the Top 10 most disabling
health conditions. Behavioural Activation, a therapy developed from
CBT, is an effective new technique in managing depression and
ideally suited to self-help. By analysing, challenging and changing
behaviours such as avoidance, ruminating and excessive worrying,
the sufferer can gradually reinforce their positive experiences and
decrease the behaviour which reinforces their depression. Includes
worksheets and practical problem-solving techniques. Step-by-step
approach to analysing and changing behaviours. Includes an
explanation of depression and associated behaviours and case
studies. Written by leading clinicians in the field.
A Books on Prescription title to help you stop worrying about your
self-image and overcome Body Dysmorphic Disorder with CBT. Praise
for the Overcoming series: 'The best consumer-friendly CBT-based
books.' Observer Many people occasionally suffer from a negative
body self-image but, for an increasing number of people, this can
turn into a more serious preoccupation. One per cent of the
population will develop Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), a condition
characterised by severe preoccupation with a perceived physical
defect. Body image problems can cause significant distress and can
lead to further problems such as anxiety, eating disorders and
social phobia. It has long been recognised that negative body image
problems are a factor in the onset and maintenance of many eating
disorders. However, they can be successfully treated with cognitive
behavioral therapy (CBT).

In a society where a blemish or "bad hair" can ruin an otherwise
perfect day and airbrushed abs dominate the magazine rack, many of
us feel ashamed of our bodies. If dissatisfaction with your looks
is a distressing preoccupation, this compassionate book offers a
way to break free from the mirror. Harvard psychologist Sabine
Wilhelm leads you through a step-by-step program that helps you
fight the urge to spend hours "fixing" your skin and hair, working
out, or shopping for flattering clothes. Reality-check exercises
based on cognitive-behavioral therapy demonstrate how to identify
unfounded beliefs about your appearance. Once you understand the
negative thoughts and feelings that distort your self-image, you'll
be able to shed lengthy grooming rituals and overcome the
embarrassment that keeps you from enjoying life. With Dr. Wilhelm's
expert guidance, you'll learn to replace self-doubt and insecurity
with confidence and a positive outlook. Whether you've spent
thousands on plastic surgery or avoid trips to the beach, dating,
or socializing, you owe yourself this opportunity to make peace
with your looks. If you or someone you care about is struggling
with a body image problem, effective care is finally at hand.
