Medicine is changing at a speed never witnessed before in history.
With each passing year, medical technology achieves the capacity to
provide cures and improve treatments that even a short time before
were difficult to con ceptualize and impossible to provide.
Reproductive technology personifies this concept perhaps better
than any other field of medicine. The 1990s have seen an explosion
in endoscopic and ambulatory procedures, the application of
molecular biology to clinical conditions, and the refinement of
assisted reproduction to allow third parties (donors and
surrogates) into the process of family building. More than ever
before, comprehensive medical care requires a team approach.
However, the team comprises not only medical and scientific
personnel, but also mental health professionals, lawyers, and
ethicists. This integrated and multidisciplinary approach to
medical care will become even more necessary as medical
capabilities continue to develop faster than society can respond.
This book reflects such an approach. It is based on a Harvard
Postgraduate Course in June 1990 entitled Infertility in the 1990s:
Technological Advances and Their Psychosocial Implications that was
sponsored by the Faulkner Centre for Reproductive Medicine. The
first half of the course was directed by Drs. M. Seibel, A.
Kiessling, and C. Richards. The second half of the course was
directed by Dr. M. Seibel, J. Bernstein, R. N. and S. Levin,
LICSW."

Interest in yoga is at an all-time high, especially among women. Whether readers wish to begin the practice or are already involved in yoga, this innovative book will help them understand the unique benefits yoga provides for a woman's health and mental well-being.
The authors lead women of all ages through the health and life cycles specific to females by illustrating the spiritual and physical advantages of Kundalini yoga, as taught by yoga master Yogi Bhajan. Hari Khalsa applies ancient wisdom to explain how to determine and enhance one's own special relationship with the mind, body, and soul. Using his expertise on women's health issues, Dr. Siebel reveals the scientific basis for yoga's positive effects on the brain. Together, Dr. Siebel and Hari Khalsa create a dialogue of spiritualism and science, elucidating how every woman can reap the rewards of yoga for a lifetime.
