Required Reading
Many of you who are considering buying this text are probably doing so for either a regular college course or for one of the Regents College/Excelsior College exams.I decided to earn a second bachelors degree and am working through Excelsior College. This is the required text for one of their exams.I can say that the book is thorough and covers the material that you need to know to pass the test, completely.Like many psyhcology and sociology texts, the subject matter can be dry, but the author seems to do a better than average job of dealing with this. I feel that the fact that I got an 'A' on the exam says very positive things about the text and its ability to prepare you for the testing. ... Read more

question
I haven't used this book yet. I wanna know how many exercises does this book have? I'm looking for a book that has some good eye exercises, not just information about eyes, or basic stuff.

Thorough and Clear
The information is presented in a very clear, well-organized, and succinct way.The instructions for the exercises are very clear and thorough.I especially like the "What to Watch For" and "Notes" sections for each exercise.I feel like it's hard not to do these exercises correctly with all the notes and observations the author adds.The testimonials at the beginning and the introductory chapters really gave me hope and enthusiasm in this program.I just started the program, but I feel this book will have been valuable even if I do not see improvement in the "First Stage" of the program.
Better than the other books!
If you are looking around Amazon at all the different vision improvement books, this is the one that is worth investing in. It is clear, succinct, and offers a step by step program that is thoroughly outlines and easy to follow. A lot of the other books on the subject offer a lot of information, but fail to give the reader a program to follow. Martin Sussman's book also explains why and how vision works and why it will improve with this program. I just got the book, but already his techniques have completely changed my (previously negative)attitude toward my vision. ... Read more

Okay, but lacking
Used for a developmental psychology class, this book wasn't worth the $94.00 I paid for it. I could have easily substituted this book for any introductory psychology textbook. Piaget, Kolberg, Erikson, and Freud are hardly touched on and their theories are under-summarized. There is also a lack of relevant, current studies in the area of developmental psychology. Most studies are summarized and do not give any usable, substaintial evidence which could be used elsewhere (ex: in papers).

Excellent text
I have taught (and taken) courses in Child Development and Lifespan Development with numerous textbooks, and this was definitely my favorite.The text is exceptionally thorough and includes a balance of theory and application.Relevant research is discussed throughout, in a way that is interesting and engaging and emphasizes the importance of scientific rigor in studying development.Most of all I appreciate the personal, direct voice of the text, as if I am listening to the author talk.Some other texts actually make reading about lifespan development boring (hard to do but can be done!)This one very effectively illuminates how fascinating it can be.My only criticism might be that I found it very difficult to cover the entire text in a one semester class, precisely because it is so rich in information. ...

A Lot of Courage Required...
A lot of people have been critical of Brooke Shields because she has an enormous amount of money and resources (that most of us don't have in order to get help), but I think that's the point of her story; despite the money, fame, and resources, she developed PPD.She was just as helpless as any woman suffering PPD and didn't know what to do. I think Ms. Shields was brave to write so candidly about her experience.Even though I didn't experience severe PPD, I did feel some depression after I had my baby. My birth was similar to Shields', except that I received a blood transfusion in order to save my life. After I came home from the hospital, I had irrational fears (that seemed so rational to me at the time) of having received contaminated blood, that prevented me from continuing to breastfeed, which further depressed me. I also cried in the shower because I thought I was a terrible mother for not breastfeeding, and I felt so alone and unworthy.My husband was supportive and tried to help, but he didn't know what to do to improve the situation. Fortunately, my depression gradually dissipated, and I felt happy, healthy, strong, and I knew then that I would be a great mom.
Baby Blues No Small Matter
This is a book I now keep in mind for my soon-to-be new mom friends just in case, that along with the numbers of womens' clinics at various hospitals and health centers that treat post-partum depression.
A must read for new mothers
This book actually helped me put into words what I was experiencing with postpartum depression.

Editorial Review

"I fell for the great American dream, female version, hook, line, and sinker," Marya Hornbacher writes. "I, as many young women do, honest-to-God believed that once I Just Lost a Few Pounds, suddenly I would be a New You, I would have Ken-doll men chasing my thin legs down with bouquets of flowers on the street, I would become rich and famous and glamorous and lose my freckles and become blond and five foot ten." Hornbacher describes in shocking detail her lifelong quest to starve herself to death, to force her short, athletic body to fade away. She remembers telling a friend, at age 4, that she was on a diet. Her bizarre tale includes not only the usual puking andstarving, but also being confined to mental hospitals and growing fur (a phenomenon called lanugo, which nature imposes to keep a body from freezing to death during periods of famine). ...

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
I never truly left this book until it was done. I stopped at points and it took perhaps a week to finish, but it was always on my mind. I rolled over her story in my head as I went about my days (or daze).
Excellent, witty and very honest book
I've read a few lame teenage oriented, moralistic, politically correct books about eating disorders, but THIS is something completely different! Not only because Marya is a real, tallented writer, but even more because her writing is so honest, detailed and yet humorous in some strange way. She doesn't whin about her situation, she doesn't blame all the world and society, but she neither powders herself with ashes. She just tells her story, a story of a very seriuos, determined, tallented and unique girl who decided to become really thin and pushed her dieting obsession to its very limits, to the very edge of death. Details of her starving and purging practices, and of her inventive, deceiving methods to convince her family, friends and medical personel that she's fine, are scary, but this brutal realism makes you really think about eating disorders. Her eating disorder is not just a disorder, it's a real full-time job, a lifestyle, a dedication, and it's extremly frightening. I found her comments about her recent life very good and revealing too.
Fantastic Book
Marya Hornbacher paints a real and vivid image of her experience with anorexia. This is the best book on anorexia and bulimia I have ever read. I keep coming back to this book- I could read it again and again just because of Hornbachers talent for writing. She truely has a gift!

A Great Resource!
The Pilates Reformer is a great resource for pilate teachers and students.The photos are beautiful and the descriptions of each exercise is very helpful.I would receommend this book to teachers and students who are experienced.This book is not for the novice.

A Must Have for Pilates Professionals!
Being in charge of the Pilates Programming for Healthtrax in Pittsburgh, I have found this book to be an incredible resource for myself and my Pilates staff. Clark- and Romani-Ruby have made this book very user friendly and have not left one important detail out.All exercises are broken down step by step and include important breathing and alignment cues, visualization cues, pre-requisite moves (both on the reformer and on the mat which too is useful!)and spring requirements.What I like about the book is how various modifications are given for each exercise so that you can customize your classes (or training sessions) and give individuals exercises (and modifications)that are specific to their physical abilities that will help them to attain their goals.This book will help Pilates professionals take their classes and training sessions to a higher level and give them a more personable approach to teaching/training.Having taught Pilates for over four years and fitness for nearly 10 years, I've attended quite a few workshops, certifications, industry conventions and have seen many DVDs/Videos featuring Pilates.None have contained the obviously well-researched information included in this book.The background in Physical Therapy and fitness that these two authors possess has been well put to use in this manual.This book did not disappoint! It is a must have for any PILATES PROFESSIONAL!I highly recommend it.

A good introduction to the reformer
Although videos are a great way to learn Pilates, serious students of the reformer will want to study each exercise in as great a depth as possible.Books abound on Pilates matwork techniques, but it is less easy to find instructional materials on the use of the reformer.Readers should not be put off by this book's subtitle, "A Manual for Instructors." The information found here is presented in a logical and straightforward style and would be helpful to any Pilates practitioner interested in exploring reformer techniques.Read more

No question that it works.
I found this book after googling a bunch of different things, and came across these reviews.Lots of good reviews, a few negative ones.Well, I noticed that all the negative ones were either people who hadn't actually tried it or people who didn't really stick with it.You can't rate a book negatively if you don't follow the program.
Excellent book!!!
I highly recommend this book, it works and it's the BEST.Even though I hadn't followed most of the recommendations like the enemas and baths it still worked for me just due to the diet change.What I would suggest also is to try to personalize it more, by finding out what works for you with diet.. mostly concerning laxatives, as for me most of them perscribed didnt' work (I guess my system is quite hard) so I explored around and found out that for me things like fresh papaya, dry figs, dates, eggs, and moloukhia (a green spinach like plant popular in the middle east) also other foods that are cleansing and remove toxins are good to increase, then decreasing the starches and adding more fruits, veggies and such foods into the diet really works.
WHAT A HORRIBLE TRICK!
For years now, my best friend and ex-boyfriend of almost four years has been suffering from severe psorasis, as well as psoriatic arthritis.He had been through several doctors and has tried multiple kinds of treatments, ranging from with or without a combination of photolight therapy, sun and water therapy, topical treatments, and systemics (Methotrexate, Soriatane, etc).A few months ago, I discovered Dr. Pagano's book and shared this information with him.After having read the book, he decided to really dedicate himself to the diet and everything Dr. Pagano had stated in the book, such as the monthly visits to Dr. Pagano, the olive oil, the flaxseed oil pills, the peanut oil baths, the 50/50 combination of the peanut oil and olive oil, etc.For a few weeks only, it worked wonderfully.It seemed to be working for him, but after those few weeks, he broke out.Dr. Pagano had stated that he would have a break out before it would get better because the "toxins" were trying to leave the body, but after his psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis kept getting worse, Dr. Pagano finally told him that he would have to go back on phototherapy and systemics (Methotrexate).For a little over two months, because of this diet, he had the worst break out ever.He literally broke out all over his body, even on his face and neck!I truly believe that this diet would work for those that are only suffering from mild to moderate psoriasis, but for those suffering from severe psoriasis, I suggest that you beware!If you see yourself breaking out too much and for too long of a period, maybe you should try a different treatment. ...

it works
my doctor put me on Actose in January of 2006 and by June, my blood sugar was still out of control and my weight was 306 lbs.I read about this while researching on the web and thought i would give it a try.From July 18 to Sept 15 I have lost 34 lbs. My blood sugar stays below 100 even after meals, and I have more energy than i have had in 20 years.Read this book and stick to it like your life depends on it, and it WILL work.

Should have been more info on book
I was upset with the book.My mistake, but was unaware he has and is writing this book as a man with type 1 diabetes.I am just learning about the disease since being diagnosed, but am type 2 and there is a world of differnce between the both of them.It scared me and I put the book down and will not read any more of it.I got other books that are helping me adjust to this illness.

Follow-on to Diabetes Solution
Great follow-on to Dr. Bernstein's "Diabetes Solution". He takes the ADA to task and rightly so. His approach gets results right from day one. This second book provides an abbreviated but adequate explanation of his approach to living with diabetes and is supplemented with excellent low carbohydrate recipes. ... Read more

An Important Book for Caregives
There are many books on how to care and plan for an elderly person, but this is one of the few designed to deal with the often delicate issue of communicating about those plans.This is an excellent book for anyone caring for seniors, either as a family member or in a professional capacity. I am a legal aid hotline attorney and own an online medical supply business. In both capacities I work with many seniors and those who care for them.This book fills in an important gap in the caregiving relationship.I strongly recommend it.

How to Say it to Seniors
Very helpful and accessable information.Wish I'd learned about this years ago.

Humane, wise, practical...SUPERB
It's shocking that this book is being marketed merely to professionals who must deal with the vagaries of the senior personality. It's simply the best book on the subject I've read.The author has a huge heart for seniors and those who work with them--professionals, certainly, but also neighbors, friends, children, grandchildren.

Save yourself the time.... Xmarks the worst book
Save yourself the time, money, and paper and simply find a friend who likes to tell their life events in a melodramatic and neurotic way. Listen to that person jab for 5 hours and you've officially read the book! This book asserted my wish to NEVER be a therapist because I would simply tell patients like her as one of her therapist did to kill herself.It's harsh but my goodness after this book I just felt like a leech sucked all the life out of me.

Wurtzel seems to enjoy her misery
I read Prozac Nation because I had heard it was a good book and I myself have been struggling with depression for a lifetime.I have a family history of it (brothers and grandparent's suicides), plus traumatic childhood.
Please shut up
Anyone who has experienced severe depression for decades will not be willing -or able, in some cases -to put up with Wurtzel's whiny memoir.

Change your eating, change your life...
"I believe in listening to the hunger of your body, and of your heart. Begin to actually look inside and see what it is you really, really want with your relationship with food, and how to get there." ~Geneen Roth
Life saver 100% Recomended
You will hear from Geneen Roth herself her story and how to break free from emotional eating, im 27 years old and beign fat as a child I started to diet very early on in my life, as long as I can remember I have been on a diet, I started my first diet when i was 10 years old, so as you can imagine my life has been centered on loosing wheight and after loosing it gaining it again an so on for what it seem like an eternity.
A MUST have book!!!!
This book and ANY Geneen Roth book is a life changer.I think her bold honesty about herself makes is ok to start being honest withyourself.She will change your life!I got more out of reading her books than therapy!!She has been there and done that.Have you ever gone through a drive in and ordered enough for an entire family but it was just for you.Then you say to the little speaker things like, 'and my kids want xxx' and you don't have kids!! When we eat in the middle of the night and no one sees it....we have ourselves convinced that doesn't count.The best of the book(s) is not just how she can bring the honesty out of the closet but she really address how emotions and eating go together and what we are really doing.Brilliant!!The work book she also has is really deep!If you want to deal with your emotional eating there is no other way to handle it than by Geneen Roth.She is the best! (and I am not related to her or a personal friend!) Like I said the key to her books is she has REALLY been there and done that and won the battle.I would give more than five stars if I could. It is a life changer!!! ... Read more

Kitty Got it Right
In 1995 my husband had exhausted all traditional treatments for depression.The Duke neurologists sent us to Menninger in Topeka, KS for ECT. My husband had 15 treatments.He left the hospital the week after his last treatment.(He was a retired Executive who had become catatonic in his depressive-state).He then began living again...He returned to his Gentleman's Farm in North Carolina and re-took the reigns.He had more energy than I did, and I was 30 years younger...
Truly Informative
My Psychiatrist mentioned ECT Treatments some time ago and I immediately dismissed the suggestion based on my ignorance of it.I was uninformed and afraid of it.But, after reading this book, I'm going to bring up the subject of ECT Treatments next session.I don't know what will happen, but ECT is now an option for me to at least seriously consider.

Waste of time and money
I had great expectations for this book but it turned out to be yet another anecdote-filled, vague rambling account of medical musings.
interesting and useful
I read the French version of this book, which explains a few simple mental and physical natural treatments towards curing depression. I found it not only interesting scientifically but also useful personally. This and other readings have recently convinced me that depression is only one of the thousands of health problems associated with bad care of our bodies, which means both physical (i.e. good diet, sleep, exercise, etc.) and mental care (i.e. relaxation, good social interactions, etc.). It is easy to rationalize depression and associate it with all sorts of specific external or philosophical causes ('I hate my work, I have no partner, human life is agony followed by death'), but realizing that these are only rationalizations for a state of mind simply reflecting a malfunctioning brain is already a big step towards stopping self-indulgence into the depressed state. Most of us can be happy. Some of us simply have machines that are more sensitive to improper care. It seems that our society has lost common sense towards what proper care means. Hopefully science will eventually compensate for that loss, and this book is a start in that direction.

it worked and helped a lot
I had IBS and bad sleep for almost two years, and never figured out a way to deal with them, not even had a clue how to control them a bit. Until one day I figured that I might be a person with depression, anxiety (I never believe that I had them before) and stress (of course everyone got this), I bought this book and start to read it.

Editorial Review

Mehmet Oz is a Renaissance man of cardiac care, combining yoga, aromatherapy, hypnosis, energy healing, music therapy, acupuncture, and visual imagery into his surgery practice at the Complementary Care Unit of New York City's Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. He's adamant that the relationship between traditional and alternative medicine should be symbiotic, not mutually exclusive. His patients are proof of this: when treated holistically, not as just "another transplant patient" with a plaque-addled heart, they perceive less pain during surgery and recuperation, are less likely to suffer depression, and heal more quickly.Read more

The Heart Can Thrive on Positive Thoughts.
Dr. Oz, the heart wizard, is of Turkish descent and attempts to combine East and West traditions of healing during post-surgery.He is a heart surgeon located in New York City.First of all,he is searching for the elusive one universal healing endeavor.Some things we all need are recommended such as Love is a major healing force, as is religious faith in one God.He is of the opinion that modern medicine is not perfect.Nothing is perfect, not even beauty, he says.
A Good Combination
The view that all types of medicine (western and eastern) working together makes sense.This book seems to encorage a balance between both.I enjoyed it.

WELL-RESEARCHED AND VERY HELPFUL
An excellent source of information. This book, published in 2003, is exhaustively researched, she cites medical and research studies involving hundreds and thousands of subjects, she covers the newest technologies and medications. The only thing missing from her book (because it was published a few years ago) is the very latest information about the potential dangers of Fosamax and the class-action lawsuits about the death of bone in the jaw that has caused people to have their jaws removed.She provides excellent suggestions for improving bone health, including exercise, dietary changes, supplements, and other ways to beat osteoporosis. She doesn't say that osteoporosis is a myth, she just debunks some of the myths surrounding this condition.
+Very informative
This book was very informative and helped me decide to stop taking Actonol.Very eye-opening.

A Must Read If You Are "Borderline"
This book was well-researched and very readable. I was able quite easily to verify the author's conclusions against the underlying medical literature she cites. Much of it is on the internet.The book provides a needed "balance" concerning all of the hype about osteoporosis.

Great Resource for Depression
I have referred all of my depresssed cleints to this book.It is a broad-based approach to contending with depression, and is eminantly usable.O'Conner takes a commen sense approach to a debilitating process, and in doing so, exhibits uncommon intelligence in offering a wide variety of approaches to dealing with depression, which is notoriously difficult to treat and requires a multi-headed approach for best results.No one school is best, and clients benefit from a multitude of suggestions founds in this book.

It was okay
Perhaps if this is the first book you pick up on the subject, you will find it helpful.I had been through many prior to reading this one and didn't learn anything new, nor did I feel it was necessary to keep on hand for future reference.I ended up donating it to my local library in the hopes someone else will benefit.
This Book saved my life!
This is the most informative, easy to understand book about Depression I ever read.

5 stars, not for believing this , but for the choice;
Yes, much of Clark's work seems extreme, perhaps if mainstream medicine was a little more intellectually honest, we wouldn't need to go so far off the 'course'. For instance; When early detection is credited for longer lives, consider that in most cases, all of the 'extended' life is the time that the test was moved up,(if you took the test a year sooner, you lived an 'extra' year), ie; no real increase. Consider that many medical tests,(biopsies and mammographies), actually force open 'scar'-sealed cancer cells that never would've entered the bloodstream if left alone. Consider that many types of cancer are known by your doctor to kill you at the same point in your painful chemo and radiation treatments as you would've died , without pain, if not treated at all, yet they do their best to keep that fact unknown to their patients. Consider how the medical establishment at large claim that diet has minimal effect on helping patients,(have you ever eaten hospital food)? Ifphysicians want us to stop patronizing the 'kooks', then they had better start learning, and passing on, the truth. (Add to Mr Lewandoski): You confuse the mean, median, and mode. If you remove infant deaths and deaths from formerly untreatable war injuries from the "average age" of death, the population often lived aslong as,(and in better shape than), our current 'averages', and without all the supposed help of our modern hospitals and nursing homes. There was never an historical time when the average man was simply dropping dead at thirty, unless he was shot.

1:8000 v. 1:2
In response to the eloquent review written by the esteemed, Corey F.Dyok.Sir, in your review you have proposed that the cancer rate has skyrocketed from 1:8000 to 1:2... brilliant!In a brief review of the history of cancer for the lesser informed.Cancer has been documented in the literature for over 5,000 years.Over the past 10,000 years, life expectancy remained at 30-years until the past 150 years when life expectancy dramatically rose to 70-years."During the past 150 years, there has been a progressive elimination of infectous diseases as a major cause of death, and because most children now survive to reproductive age a sudden population explosion has ensued"[Cairns, John].So, plain and simply, diseases of old age occur frequently because we now have an aged society.And the diseases of old age are cardiovascular disease and cancer. Is this lady for real?
People will believe anything.This book is full of proposperous claims, and scientifically impossible devices.The idea of a 9V battery "zapping" parasited deep in body tissues is most ridiculase.Last time I checked, the skin was quite an insulator.
