Friday, March 14, 2003Shadow Syndromes(Another Epinion I'm going to delete when I'm through with this entry in this blog.) This book can be both helpful and harmful, depending upon whose ox is being gored. Milder forms of mood disorders have been known for many years and go by the names cyclothymia, dysthymia (mild depression) and...

I wish Caroline Myss would have studied theology to learn what she purportedly talks about in this book. She tries to parallel the seven Catholic sacraments, the sefirot of the Kabbalah, and the seven chakras - obviously a task she does not seem...

Frankly, I'm earning more money over here on The Blogging Network.) This book was a bit too New Agey for me. It was also a bit "obvious"...

However, Snitch Culture is an absolute must-read. Snitch Culture author Jim Redden makes an excellent case for our society's transformation into - well - a snitch culture. At the...

Something to keep in mind as you read (skeptically, I hope): patient privacy is almost an...

Co-authored by Mark Victor Hansen (of Chicken Soup for the Soul fame) and Robert Allen, One Minute Millionaire is simultaneously a work of fiction and of nonfiction. The fictional story is that of Michelle...

The bad news is that its author, Paul Curtin, presents a stereotyped way of thinking about ACOAs and their symptom patterns Tumbleweeds: A Therapist's Guide to the Treatment of ACOAs was written (if its 1985...
