Book Description
HAVE YOU EVER DATED AN IDIOT? While the characters and events in this book are fictitious, most people will point to at least one story and say, “That happened to me” or “I dated that idiot.” WHY BUY THE BOOK? Here are some sample lessons that the idiot dating person can learn: A rose may be a rose by any other name, but the name you have says a lot about you. More aptly stated, it’s better to be called “Prince”, then to be called “Dopey.” Use the telephone to give the news that you “Just want to be friends.” Handcuffs are rarely an appropriate accessory for a dinner affair. When you rent fake parents, always get their real names first. When you find a basement bargain, make sure that it’s not in the morgue. If you’re not willing to train them, then don’t get a puppy. If you’ve ever dated an idiot, then this book will hopefully provide some insight into the making of an idiot dating person and in the process provide some laughter.

Book Description
IS YOUR FORMER SPOUSE AN IDIOT? While the characters and events in this book are fictitious, most people will point to at least one story and say, "That happened to me" or "That's my former spouse." WHY BUY THE BOOK? Here are some sample lessons that the divorced idiot can learn: Practice makes perfect. A secondary lesson being that a dead ex-spouse limits your liability. Don't just infect your former spouse; infect a whole population. Deny everything and then make counter-allegations. While the marriage may be over, the divorce will never be over until death. When you don't feel inclined to discuss religion and politics with your future spouse, then a divorce may turn your head, especially if your former spouse is into Voodoo. A rumor has to contain just enough truth to be believable. Never miss the opportunity to bury the hatchet. Dating your soon-to-be former spouse's attorney ensures a speedy trial. If your former spouse is an idiot, then this book will hopefully provide some insight into the making of a divorced idiot and in the process provide some laughter.

Trauma and Recovery
Author: Judith Lewis Herman
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 0465098738
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
In this groundbreaking book, a leading clinical psychiatrist redefines how we think about and treat victims of trauma. A "stunning achievement" that remains a "classic for our generation." (Bessel van der Kolk, M.D., author of The Body Keeps the Score). Trauma and Recovery is revered as the seminal text on understanding trauma survivors. By placing individual experience in a broader political frame, Harvard psychiatrist Judith Herman argues that psychological trauma is inseparable from its social and political context. Drawing on her own research on incest, as well as a vast literature on combat veterans and victims of political terror, she shows surprising parallels between private horrors like child abuse and public horrors like war. Hailed by the New York Times as "one of the most important psychiatry works to be published since Freud," Trauma and Recovery is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand how we heal and are healed.

The End of Trauma
Author: George A. Bonanno
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 1541674375
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
With “groundbreaking research on the psychology of resilience” (Adam Grant), a top expert on human trauma argues that we vastly overestimate how common PTSD is in and fail to recognize how resilient people really are. After 9/11, mental health professionals flocked to New York to handle what everyone assumed would be a flood of trauma cases. Oddly, the flood never came. In The End of Trauma, pioneering psychologist George A. Bonanno argues that we failed to predict the psychological response to 9/11 because most of what we understand about trauma is wrong. For starters, it’s not nearly as common as we think. In fact, people are overwhelmingly resilient to adversity. What we often interpret as PTSD are signs of a natural process of learning how to deal with a specific situation. We can cope far more effectively if we understand how this process works. Drawing on four decades of research, Bonanno explains what makes us resilient, why we sometimes aren’t, and how we can better handle traumatic stress. Hopeful and humane, The End of Trauma overturns everything we thought we knew about how people respond to hardship.

Understanding Trauma
Author: Laurence J. Kirmayer
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139462261
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 437
Book Description
This book analyzes the individual and collective experience of and response to trauma from a wide range of perspectives including basic neuroscience, clinical science, and cultural anthropology. Each perspective presents critical and creative challenges to the other. The first section reviews the effects of early life stress on the development of neural systems and vulnerability to persistent effects of trauma. The second section of the book reviews a wide range of clinical approaches to the treatment of the effects of trauma. The final section of the book presents cultural analyses of personal, social, and political responses to massive trauma and genocidal events in a variety of societies. This work goes well beyond the neurobiological models of conditioned fear and clinical syndrome of post-traumatic stress disorder to examine how massive traumatic events affect the whole fabric of a society, calling forth collective responses of resilience and moral transformation.

New Directions in Child Abuse and Neglect Research
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309285151
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
Each year, child protective services receive reports of child abuse and neglect involving six million children, and many more go unreported. The long-term human and fiscal consequences of child abuse and neglect are not relegated to the victims themselves-they also impact their families, future relationships, and society. In 1993, the National Research Council (NRC) issued the report, Under-standing Child Abuse and Neglect, which provided an overview of the research on child abuse and neglect. New Directions in Child Abuse and Neglect Research updates the 1993 report and provides new recommendations to respond to this public health challenge. According to this report, while there has been great progress in child abuse and neglect research, a coordinated, national research infrastructure with high-level federal support needs to be established and implemented immediately. New Directions in Child Abuse and Neglect Research recommends an actionable framework to guide and support future child abuse and neglect research. This report calls for a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to child abuse and neglect research that examines factors related to both children and adults across physical, mental, and behavioral health domains-including those in child welfare, economic support, criminal justice, education, and health care systems-and assesses the needs of a variety of subpopulations. It should also clarify the causal pathways related to child abuse and neglect and, more importantly, assess efforts to interrupt these pathways. New Directions in Child Abuse and Neglect Research identifies four areas to look to in developing a coordinated research enterprise: a national strategic plan, a national surveillance system, a new generation of researchers, and changes in the federal and state programmatic and policy response.
