The number of people suffering from different eating disorders has grown dramatically within the last twenty years. These two volumes examine feeding difficulties and eating disorders in children and adolescents, from babies to 19-year-olds. The volumes consist of clinical cases that describe the process of psychoanalytic psychotherapy used to treat the patients. The contributors look at the underlying causes for the disorders, such as bulimia and anorexia, lead to a normal life with the help of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. In addition, this collection takes into account the profound effects eating disorders have, not only on the patients, but on their immediate family and friends as well. 'Many cases describe the anxieties and strategies of defence used against feelings of dependence and the risk of accepting from another. This is a core theme in both volumes and is the principle idea behind the paradoxical title, The Generosity of Acceptance.

Imagine cooking with some of the greatest chefs in France. Facing fascinating challenges, Patti Ravenscroft developed a French culinary tour business, discovering 10 starred provincial chefs who took her groups into their kitchens to do hands-on cooking, and explore provincial France with them. Along the way, many remarkable things happened with chefs and clients as they sought out the best France had to offer. Visiting markets, farms, artisans and wineries, they also hunted mushrooms, digging for truffles with a pig, and pursuing the best artisans in the area. Though she became discouraged at one point for business and world event reasons, the French Embassy in Washington restored her confidence by awarding her the L'Ordre de Merite Agricole. Part memoir, part travelogue, and part culinary tour adventure, the book contains descriptions of cooking, eating and wine tasting with outstanding chefs; included are 27 of their best recipes adapted for the American cook.

Learning the theory of Disaster Psychiatry is one thing; applying it in the midst of a disaster is another. The International Medical Corps selected me to form a mental health crisis team serving five IMC mobile medical clinics in Petit-Goave. 70 to 80% of houses were damaged or destroyed killing large numbers; people constructed tent cities everywhere. Survivors from the Capitol poured steadily into the area. During the time of Papa Doc Duvalier in the 60's I worked as an anthropologist in Haiti outside of Leogane, doing research on voodoo spirit possession. When the devastating 7.1 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti in January, 2010, my deep love for her people moved me to volunteer. Leogane was the epicenter of the quake. A child psychiatrist, I worked with traumatized Haitian families, training Haitian doctors and nurses in disaster psychiatry, at the same time rediscovering myself in the midst of this devastating tragedy.
