The Scandal of White Complicity and U.S. Hyper-incarceration is a
groundbreaking exploration of the moral role of white people in the
disproportionate incarceration of African-Americans and Latinos in
the United States. Alex Mikulich, Laurie Cassidy, and Margaret
Pfeil are white Catholic theologians developing understanding of
how whiteness operates in the U.S. system of incarceration and
witnessing to a Christian nonviolent way for whites to subvert our
oppression of brothers and sisters of color.
One of the principal characteristics of contemporary inquiry is the
rediscovery of human consciousness. This book attempts to develop
that experience and continue the insight of the legendary Hermes
Trismegistos that 'thought is God the Father.' The author invites
the reader to attend to his own act of thinking. This exercise in
thinking passes beyond itself into a form of mysticism, but the
effort remains to present this as strictly philosophical and thus
to anticipate, treat fairly, and respond adequately to some of the
more obvious difficulties which such a position entails. The
intention is to dialogue, to reason together, to bring some light
to bear, and to help restore our human confidence in the most
precious power that we possess - our own minds.

The experienced editors of Practical Strategies in Geriatric Mental
Health: Cases and Approaches recognize that older patients can pose
unique challenges to general practitioners working outside this
specialty, and that the shortage of geriatric mental health
specialists makes the creation of trustworthy, user-friendly
resources more critical than ever. In response, they produced this
book to be accessible not only to physicians and mental health
practitioners, but also to a broader audience of care and service
providers for older adults, such as social workers and nurses. From
the depressed patient who has not responded to one or more trials
of antidepressants and is now losing weight and rarely leaving
home, to the patient with major neurocognitive disorder whose
behavior has become increasingly difficult for caregivers, older
adults frequently present with complex diagnostic and treatment
challenges. Each chapter focuses on a specific symptom or disorder
(e.g., depressive symptoms/syndromes, anxiety, neurocognitive
disorder with behavioral disturbance, grief) and begins with a
"chief complaint," borrowed from common real-world clinical
scenarios. A brief clinical vignette portrays how the chief
complaint is often presented, followed by relevant discussion of
practical approaches to assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. These
cases bring the material to life and illustrate relevant clinical
applications, as well as the nuances of common presentations. *
Chapters are consistent in structure, flowing from the case
illustration to diagnostic and assessment tools to treatment
options, and ending with a return to the case to integrate the
material presented.* Clinical guidelines and assessment tools
suitable for both nonexperts and experts are provided for use in
clinical encounters to assess functioning and treatment
effectiveness.* Easy-to-follow algorithms, brief behavioral
interventions, additional resources (e.g., organizations, websites,
books to recommend to patients and families), and clear, take-home
pearls are also included, making this text a valuable repository of
usable information.* The text acknowledges the reality that the
patient belongs to a family system. Family members, who are often
also caregivers, have questions and fears-and their own medical and
mental health conditions. Accordingly, the authors carefully
consider family input and influence on the clinical situation.
Comorbid medical conditions, the increased likelihood of medication
interactions, and the presence of cognitive changes all can
complicate and confuse the clinical picture. Practical Strategies
in Geriatric Mental Health: Cases and Approaches brings the
geriatric psychiatrist's knowledge base and armamentarium to the
reader, who will find its guidance essential and empowering.

Richard Cassidy's Accountability: A Noun or a Verb? takes the
simple premise of 'we are all accountable for our behavior' and
explores the significant relationship between accountability and
our personal and professional successes. What does it mean to be
accountable? It means taking responsibility and not considering
oneself the hapless victim. (If one is stopped and ticketed for
driving sixty in a forty-five mile zone, is it logical to blame the
police officer?) It also means creating a vision of the life most
desired and working toward achieving that vision. It's not enough
to be accountable; one must also be willing to put in the time.
Many years of observing individuals and organizations confirmed
Cassidy's long-held belief that men and women who take
responsibility for their lives and the action required to move
forward are more successful and more fulfilled. But what must we do
to reach that point? According to the author, an in-depth and
truthful analysis of who we are-our values and beliefs-must first
be undertaken. By having a clearer picture of what we believe and
how we exercise those beliefs, we move one giant step closer to
that ultimate state of self-satisfaction and achievement.

Your stock market success depends at least as much on when you sell
a stock as when you purchase it. While dozens of books tell you
when and how to buy stocks, no book (until this one ) reveals the
critical information that tells you exactly when you should sell,
and how to time your sale for maximum profit.
