The Judas Syndrome
Author: Dr. George K. Simon JR.
Publisher: Abingdon Press
ISBN: 1426771207
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Even people we think are our friends will deny and betray us. Are they bad people, or just don’t do enough, or people with good intentions but acting in ignorance? Or are they basically decent people who, when put to the test, fail because of their weak faith? Filled with many examples, Judas Syndrome gives concrete ways to prevent people, even other Christians, from hurting you and the role that faith can play in changing them and helping you avoid the pain that these relationships often bring. Although sometimes we suffer as a result of our own shortcomings and missteps, placing our trust in Christ's message of love provides the gateway to the life God intends for us. In other words, faith can really save us—a faith, however, that is not easily undertaken on a daily basis or one that can be sustained alone.

Fatal Flaws
Author: Stuart C. Yudofsky
Publisher: American Psychiatric Pub
ISBN: 1585626589
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 514
Book Description
Featuring case vignettes from nearly 30 years of Dr. Yudofsky's clinical practice and incorporating the knowledge of gifted clinicians, educators, and research scientists with whom he has collaborated throughout that time, Fatal Flaws: Navigating Destructive Relationships With People With Disorders of Personality and Character uniquely captures the rapidly increasing body of clinical and research information about people with severe and persistent personality and character disorders. Within these pages, the author brings to life the psychopathologies of personality and character disorders through vivid vignettes based on composites of his many patients and their most important relationships -- while meticulously changing the identifying facts and relevant details to protect confidentiality. Covering the clinical course, treatment, genetics, biology, psychology, and destructive consequences of hysterical (histrionic), narcissistic, antisocial, paranoid, obsessive-compulsive, addictive, borderline, and schizotypal personality disorders, Fatal Flaws stands out in the literature for these powerful reasons: It is written for an unusually broad audience, from mental health students and trainees of all disciplines, to highly experienced clinicians, to patients who suffer from or are in destructive relationships with people with personality disorders. It is a hybrid -- part psychiatric textbook for clinicians and part self-help manual for patients and clients with personality and character disorders. It is designed to supplement treatment by providing patients with practical, evidence-based information about personality disorders and character flaws. It is particularly valuable to patients who are in psychotherapy, in part, because they are entangled in destructive relationships with people with disorders of personality and/or character. It is written in the first person, with the author directly communicating with a patient who either has a personality or character disorder or is in an important relationship with a person who has such a disorder. It is useful for people who are uncertain whether they or their loved ones have personality or character disorders, and who want to know more about these conditions and their treatments before making a decision about securing the help of a mental health professional. Fatal Flaws: Navigating Destructive Relationships With People With Disorders of Personality and Character is a compelling volume that provides the essential information and a realistic sense of the clinical experience required to inform, orient, and support novice mental health professionals and seasoned practitioners alike as they face the ongoing challenges of treating patients or clients with personality or character disorders. It should also prove to be an invaluable resource for those who wish practical and effective help in understanding and changing their destructive relationships with people who have severe and persistent disorders of personality and/or character.

Varieties of Disturbance
Author: Lydia Davis
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1466806273
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
Lydia Davis has been called "one of the quiet giants in the world of American fiction" (Los Angeles Times), "an American virtuoso of the short story form" (Salon), an innovator who attempts "to remake the model of the modern short story" (The New York Times Book Review). Her admirers include Grace Paley, Jonathan Franzen, and Zadie Smith; as Time magazine observed, her stories are "moving . . . and somehow inevitable, as if she has written what we were all on the verge of thinking." In Varieties of Disturbance, her fourth collection, Davis extends her reach as never before in stories that take every form from sociological studies to concise poems. Her subjects include the five senses, fourth-graders, good taste, and tropical storms. She offers a reinterpretation of insomnia and re-creates the ordeals of Kafka in the kitchen. She questions the lengths to which one should go to save the life of a caterpillar, proposes a clear account of the sexual act, rides the bus, probes the limits of marital fidelity, and unlocks the secret to a long and happy life. No two of these fictions are alike. And yet in each, Davis rearranges our view of the world by looking beyond our preconceptions to a bizarre truth, a source of delight and surprise. Varieties of Disturbance is a 2007 National Book Award Finalist for Fiction.

Disorders of Character

Publisher: Pickle Partners Publishing

Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
“ON NUMEROUS occasions I have been requested to write a review of my articles on persistent enuresis, juvenile delinquency, and psychopathic personality which were published over a period of 18 years. In response I have attempted here to synthesize the individual reports into an integrated whole. All of the work stemmed originally from a clinical interest spurred on by a clinical hunch that there was an intimate association between persistent enuresis and personality mal-integration. This same interest led finally, in the later papers, to the consideration of character problems. The conceptions elaborated here are simple. I believe that they have general validity and that their fundamental nature can lead to significant bio-psycho-social implications.”—Dr. Joseph J. Michaels Dr. Joseph J. Michaels has divided his 12 papers, published over an 18-year period, into four series: The first series (four papers) deals with studies of so-called normal children (controls) and neuropsychiatric patients, presenting data and their analysis primarily from a statistical standpoint. The second series (four papers) consists in the analysis and interpretation of data pertaining to enuresis in the reports of other authors on delinquent and psychotic individuals. The third series (two papers) is concerned with the relationship of enuresis, and of neurotic and anti-social traits to the electroencephalogram in children with behavior disorders. The fourth series (two papers) is much broader in scope: the previous data, hypotheses and conclusions are re-evaluated against a background of the total personality viewed psychobiologically and psychoanalytically.
