DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Madness Within is an autobiography of an ordinary woman (Cheryl G. Baker), living and struggling with manic-depression, also known as Bipolar disorder. It's intention is to help others, who may or may not have been dignosed with the illness because it affects everyone in some way, shape, or form. There are several chapters based on actual recordings of manic and depressive episodes that Cheryl experienced followed by explanations on each case. It captures the onset of the illness and paves the way to her present mental condition. Some chapters leave you wanting to strangle the author because of a lack of understanding why one would want to injure oneself much less attempt suicide. Another chapter entitled "The Back-up System" is not only pathetic but frustrating because of the promiscuity and infidelity involved. It's painful to see Cheryl struggle as she attempts to put the pieces of shattered glass in her life back in order and somehow find peace.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCognitive Behavioral Therapy for Adult ADHD: An Integrative Psychosocial and Medical Approach has been revised, updated, and expanded for this second edition and remains the definitive book for clinicians seeking to treat adults with ADHD. Clinicians will continue to benefit from the presentation of an evidence-supported treatment approach for adults with ADHD that combines cognitive behavioral therapy and pharmacotherapy adapted for this challenging clinical population. The updated edition of the book offers new and expanded case examples, and the authors emphasize more detailed, clinician-friendly "how to" instructions for the delivery of specific interventions for adult patients with ADHD. Understanding that most adults with ADHD say, "I know exactly what I need to do, but I just cannot make myself do it," the book pays special attention to the use of implementation strategies to help patients carry out the necessary coping skills to achieve improvements in functioning and well-being in their daily lives. In addition to providing an outline of their treatment approach, Drs. Ramsay and Rostain provide an up-to-date review of the current scientific understanding of the etiology, developmental course, and life outcomes of adults with ADHD as well as the components of an thorough diagnostic evaluation. As an added clinical resource, Drs. Ramsay and Rostain have also produced a companion patient handbook written for adults with ADHD, The Adult ADHD Tool Kit: Using CBT to Facilitate Coping Inside and Out, which clinicians can use with their patients.
