In Adolescent Depression, psychiatrists Francis Mark Mondimore, MD,
and Patrick Kelly, MD, explain that serious depression in
adolescents goes beyond "moodiness." Depression is in fact an
illness-one that can be effectively treated. The authors describe
the many forms of depression and the many symptoms of depression in
young people-from sadness to irritability, self-harm, drug and
alcohol abuse, and violent rages. Incorporating the latest research
from the field of adolescent psychiatry, this comprehensive and
compassionate guide answers questions that many parents have,
including: What are the symptoms of depression in teenagers? How is
depression diagnosed? What is the difference between depression and
bipolar disorder, and which does my child have? How can I find the
best mental health professional team for my child? What kinds of
counseling and psychotherapy are available? Are medications safe,
and how does a doctor choose a medication for my child? What can I
do if my adolescent is using alcohol, crystal meth, marijuana, or
other substances? How do autism and Asperger's syndrome, eating
disorders, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, ADHD, and disruptive
mood dysregulation disorder interact with depression? What should I
do if I sense that my child is in danger? With all of this going
on, how can I take care of myself?

Hugo and Nebula Award-winner James Patrick Kelly may offer the
"Promise of Space," but he delivers so much more. The sixteen
stories included in this collection demonstrate the versatility of
the author as a visionary and science fiction as a genre. Exploring
Directed Intelligence, space opera, and shared sensory perception,
he paints vivid pictures of startling futures and fantastic
landscapes. And while Kelly pushes the boundaries of technology,
his focus remains always on character, giving these speculative
tales of loyalty and betrayal, love and desire, the human touch . .
.
Cyberpunk is dead. The revolution has been co-opted by half-assed
heroes, overclocked CGI, and tricked-out shades. Once radical,
cyberpunk is now nothing more than a brand. Time to stop flipping
the channel. These sixteen extreme stories reveal a government
ninja routed by a bicycle repairman, the inventor of digitized
paper hijacked by his college crush, a dead boy trapped in a warped
storybook paradise, and the queen of England attacked with the
deadliest of forbidden technology: a working modem. You'll meet
Manfred Macx, renegade meme-broker, Red Sonja, virtual reality
sex-goddess, and Felix, humble sys-admin and post-apocalyptic hero.
Editors James Patrick Kelly and John Kessel (Feeling Very Strange:
The Slipstream Anthology) have united cyberpunk visionaries William
Gibson, Bruce Sterling, and Pat Cadigan with the new post-cyberpunk
vanguard, including Cory Doctorow, Charles Stross, and Jonathan
Lethem. Including a canon-establishing introduction and excerpts
from a hotly contested online debate, Rewired is the first
anthology to define and capture the crackling excitement of the
post-cyberpunks. From the grittiness of Mirrorshades to the
Singularity and beyond, it's time to revive the revolution.
One hundred years ago a series of seminal documents, starting
with the Flexner Report of 1910, sparked an enormous burst of
energy to harness the power of science to transform higher
education in health. Professional education, however, has not been
able to keep pace with the challenges of the 21st century. A new
generation of reforms is needed to meet the demands of health
systems in an interdependent world.
The report of the Commission on the Education of Health
Professionals for the 21st Century, a global independent initiative
consisting of 20 leaders from diverse disciplinary backgrounds and
institutional affiliations, articulates a fresh vision and
recommends renewed actions. Building on a rich legacy of
educational reforms during the past century, the Commission's
findings and recommendations adopt a global and multi-professional
perspective using a systems approach to analyze education and
health, with a focus on institutional and instructional
reforms.
This is a unique and lively account of those years, describing the
technicalities of the work and the hardships as well as many
lighter moments enjoyed by the apprentices, against the backdrop of
the gradual run-down of steam on the Western.

Discover the Language of the Mind; The Hypnotist's Guide to
Psycho-Linguistics by Patrick K. Porter, PhD was previously
published as Psycho-Linguistics; The Language of the Mind. This
fully revised edition includes updates on dozens of new
developments in the hypnosis field, full transcripts for each of
the eleven processes, which includes two never-before published
techniques as developed and tested by Dr. Patrick Porter .
Psycho-Linguistics is a practical guide to the combined theories of
hypnosis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Creative Visualization and
Accelerated Learning-a perfect "mind guide" for experienced
hypnotists and psychotherapists or for anyone seeking a quick,
easy, step-by-step method for self-improvement and enhanced
communication. Over the years I spoke with dozens of Positive
Changes clients who picked up Psycho-Linguistics simply to better
understand the theory and science behind the Positive Changes
program and found themselves fascinated by the inner workings of
the mind. Now, with Discover the Language of the Mind, the book is
more useful and intriguing than ever before. Dr. Porter added
several real-life examples to help the reader better understand how
each process works. While Psycho-Linguistics was clearly a book for
the practitioner, Discover the Language of the Mind has something
for everyone. Professional hypnotists and psychotherapists will
find the book even more valuable than before. Each technique in
Discover the Language of the Mind includes both a step-by-step
guide and a full-session transcript. Novices will likely find the
transcripts handy as well. They may wish to read a transcript into
a tape recorder and then play it back when relaxing or at bedtime.
Dr. Porter took a great book and made it even better. With new
sections on the history of hypnosis, the workings of the conscious
and other-than-conscious levels of mind, and great new techniques
on "The Power of the Past," and the "Swish" pattern for eliminating
bad habits such as nail-biting, Discover the Language of the Mind
is informative and at the same time a "mesmerizing" read. Discover
the Language of the Mind is available at your local Porter Vision
Affiliate.
The Long Voyage Home is an epic journey written in the manner of
Irish writers and poets who have sung from the rocks of Dublin,
struggled on the decks of seafaring ships and wept at the graves of
comrades and in the alleys of tenaments. It seeks the grace of God
and the friendship of angles, while always casting a fearing ear
about for the "beast" that sometimes rips our dreams. The
remarkable new work examines the struggle to balance our
perceptions of memories, dreams and reality, good and evil, Heaven
and Hell, while moving through a landscape of parents, jobs, lovers
and friends. It invites you to come along. The author, Patrick
Kelly, served as a Russian linguist in the U.S. Army, stationed in
West Germany before the Berlin Wall fell. He received a B.A. in
Journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, where he
also did graduate work in English literature. He spent 25 years as
a newswriter and editor in the American Southeast. He is currently
working on Volume II of The Long Voyage Home.
