The spinal cord is a vital part of the central nervous system; even
a small injury can lead to severe disability. In the US, there are
approximately 230,000 people living with traumatic spinal cord
injury (SCI), with over 10,000 more becoming disabled each year.
Learning to live with SCI can be a challenge to any individual,
caregiver or family. To improve their ability to cope, everyone
involved must understand how the body responds to a spinal cord
injury, and educate themselves about treatment and management
issues. "Spinal Cord Injury," the newest title in the critically
acclaimed "American Academy of Neurology Press Quality of Life
Guides," is an authoritative and reliable resource for any patient,
family member or caregiver looking to inform themselves on this
topic.
Joe Black was a baseball pioneer, the first black pitcher ever to win a World Series game. He then became the only Major Leaguer to become a full-time public school teacher after his baseball career ended. The Black family lived in a very modest house right next to the author's father's auto body shop near the railroad tracks in the poorest part of Plainfield, New Jersey and they knew his late father, Nathan. The author first met Mr. Black when he came to Hubbard Junior High School as a teacher and baseball coach and their forty-five year friendship continued until his death in 2002.As his teacher, coach, and mentor until the end of his life, Mr. Black became a trusted friend. He greatly influenced the author's life, his law practice, and his family. Selzer was given the honor of being the opening speaker at Joe Black's Memorial Celebration on June 1, 2002. Many of Joe's friends, acquaintances, and former colleagues contributed stories for this book; among them are Bill Cosby, Sandy Koufax, Bob Costas, Joe Garagiola, and many others.
The person with schizophrenia poses a formidable challenge even to the experienced clinician. Bizarre, unpredictable behavior, disordered thought patterns, peculiar, even unintelligible speech, and extreme distrust can drastically limit the clinician's ability to conduct therapy. It is often seemingly impossible to determine the cause of these behaviors: Are they a result of the disease, the side effects of drugs, or the patient's efforts to cope? In this brilliant and insightful book, Dr. Michael Selzer and his colleagues offer a radical new perspective on understanding and treating the schizophrenic person. What is often lacking, they argue, is a clear understanding of the patient's own experience of his world. Without a realistic appraisal of the patient's physiological and psychological vulnerabilities, the effect of various stresses on him, and his own unique adaptation to these circumstances, no effective drug or psychotherapeutic treatment intervention is possible. This thoughtful, intelligent, and acutely perceptive book is a major breakthrough for working with persons with schizophrenia. The authors have shown that therapy with the schizophrenic person is not only possible but highly rewarding.
