Order more than one copy!
I read this book in one afternoon, the most informative, educational, and well-spent afternoon in months.This book should be a must-read for anyone who's living with a close friend or family member suffering from a drug or alcohol addiction.This book provided SO MANY answers for me to all those questions that anyone in my situation would ask.This book will be kept close for future reference, a gem that I am extremely happy to have found. I plan to order copies for other family members, as I don't intend to part with mine!

An essential resource for parents of addicts
Addict in the Family is a helpful guide for parents of addicts.Conyers reviews what is known about drug use today, including detailed information about the effects of alcohol, marijuana, cocaine and heroin, without using 'scare tactics.' Using personal stories, she demonstrates some of the characteristics of addicts (lying, manipulation, denial, etc.).Most important, she provides a blue print for parents to work on their own recovery.As selfish as it appears, the work parents do on themselves also helps the addict.As a coach helping parents of children with addictions, I will recommend this book to all my clients. ...

Editorial Review

"We are a sleep-sick society," says William C. Dement, M.D., Ph.D. According to Dr. Dement, "sleep science" has yielded a great deal of scientific knowledge about sleep--yet the general public, and even doctors, aren't aware of it. Sleep disorders are routinely misdiagnosed or ignored, sometimes resulting in medical tragedy and death, frequently leading to chronic exhaustion. In Read more

One-Handed in a Two -Handed world
This book offer insights to the everyday tasks.I found it helpful and uplifting

One-Handed in a Two-Handed World
Very helpful--my 33 year old son had a stroke and this guide gave him more information how to do things with one hand.Also, shared this with his Occupational Therapist and she was very impressed.

Several of our strokesurvivor members/and caregivershave read this book and reviewed it. Our Strokesurvivors International website books page is http://strokesurvivors.homepage.com/BooksP/index.htm Our RN/Social worker (and a Stroker) wrote about this book: "I have read Living OneHanded in a Two handed World by Tommye Mayer several times and consider it to be my bible.The range of topics covered in this book is phenomenal!Until I found this book, the simple act of dressing myself in the morning became a battle with overwhelming frustration because I couldn't get my clothes on correctly.Simple tips in this book allowed me to master dressing myself with ease. And probably kept me from surrendering to depression by just staying in bed all day. I consider it a Must read for anyone with the challenge of having only one functional hand." ... Read more

Every CEO should read this
What are organisations for?This book enables the reader to understand the root causes of current imbalances in the world economy/ecology and know what they can do (within their reach) to make a difference.
The process of building a visionary organization
"This book has been such a journey. I started out with two ideas. The first idea was that organizational transformation must look and feel a lot like personal transformation. The second idea was that the values held by successful companies must be similar to the values held by successful individuals. These two ideas led me on a journey of discovery that gladdened my heart...This book...provides a road map and tools for those who want to travel the same path" (from the Foreward). A Quantum Leap in Compassionate Corporate Transformation
In his visionary and hopeful book, Global Mind Change, The Promise of the 21st Century (1990), futurist Willis Harman observed that we are in the midst of the greatest social shift since the Middle Ages, a change in theactual belief structure of Western society. As the dominant institution insociety, Willis felt business had an obligation and the potential to leadthis shift. In Creative Work: The Constructive Role of Business in aTransforming Society (1990), he provided some benchmarks of new paradigmbusiness and examples of a handful of leading companies.Read more

The Little Herb Encyclopedia...okay, not the greatest.
There are many herbs not in the book.Explanations are a bit on the hazy side.No ideas on how to use the herbs...BUT...it's great for what it does have, tells of many things each herb can be used for.Just wish it were more complete!
Should be called an herb bible
Every time you read it, you find something you didn't see before. WONDERFUL REFERENCE OF INDIVIDUAL HERBS
This book is absolutely the best one I have seen when it comes to being thorough for the different uses of each herb.It has listings of primary and secondary conditions affected by the herbs, after a write up of usually close to a page on each one.In the write up it elaborates on many of the uses, and often gives historical uses.I find it a vital reference guide and refer to it VERY often!!!Is easy to understand, contains warnings about the herbs that need it, and is really the most informative guide to herbal usage.Read more

New Therapist highly recommends!
This is the 30th book I have read in my new field of psychology.I just finished my Masters in Counseling and state this book is so well written and in depth; it provides a review of many of the important aspects of my Masters Program; e.g. theories, diagnosis, therapy tools and techniques.While a wonderful book on Dissociative Identity Disorder, it is also a great resource for many aspects of therapy.
Excellent
The Dissociative Identity Disorder Sourcebook is a clear and concise source for those living with DID and an excellent source for the therapist as well as loved ones who live with someone with DID.As a person who lives with DID, I found the book very rewarding to me; validating, accurate, informative, instructive and nurturing.

Nothing but helpful
As a person recently diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder this book has become an invaluable resource. It is clearly written, thorough and provides the reader with links to other helpful resources. A must have for individuals with DID or their family, friends and support systems. ... Read more
