'This book fills a tremendous void...' wrote E. Fuller Torrey, M.D., about the first edition of I AM NOT SICK, I Don't Need Help! Ten years later, it still does. Dr. Amador's research on poor insight was inspired by his attempts to help his brother Henry, who developed schizophrenia, accept treatment. Like tens of millions of others diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, Henry did not believe he was ill. In this latest edition, 6 new chapters have been added, new research on anosognosia (lack of insight) is presented and new advice, relying on lessons learned from thousands of LEAP seminar participants, is given to help readers quickly and effectively use Dr. Amador s method for helping someone accept treatment. I AM NOT SICK, I Don't Need Help! is not just a reference for mental health practitioners or law enforcement professionals. It is a must-read guide for family members whose loved ones are battling mental illness. Read and learn as have hundreds of thousands of others...to LEAP-Listen, Empathize, Agree, and Partner-and help your patients and loved ones accept the treatment they need.

Very few, if any, person on earth can honestly say they made every decision in their life correctly and would not change even one of our life choices. Some of the not-so-successful decisions may have been the start of some long-term problems that we wish we could change the status of now. “Man, I wish I could turn back the clock on that one,” we might say. But what if we could have a do-over or two that would alter the course of the remainder of our lives? It may seem impossible, but it is very possible to get as many do-overs that we want. This story is about a young girl who was given some of the most valuable information on life itself that anyone could receive and would change the course of her life and those around her forever. And it is done in a setting where she was held in a friendly captive audience, during an extended electrical power outage covering over half of the United States. What would you do if the electrical power went out for weeks in the middle of the winter, and it is very cold and windy? All forms of communication are gone; there is no way to get gas to drive out of the area you live in, and you are stuck where you are. How would you and your family stay warm, get food, water, medications, and everything else you need to survive. In the time it took to read this far, the temperature in your home just dropped seven degrees, and it’s starting to snow very hard outside. What do I do now?

What is resilience, and how can you build it? In The Resilience Workbook, Glenn Schiraldi—author of The Self-Esteem Workbook—offers invaluable insight and outlines essential skills to help you bounce back from setbacks and cultivate a growth mindset. Why do some people sail through life’s storms, while others are knocked down? Resilience is the key. Resilience is the ability to recover from difficult experiences, such as death of loved one, job loss, serious illness, terrorist attacks, or even just daily stressors and challenges. Resilience is the strength of body, mind, and character that enables people to respond well to adversity. In short, resilience is the cornerstone of mental health. Combining evidence-based approaches including positive psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and skills for regulating stress, The Resilience Workbook will show you how to bounce back and thrive in any difficult situation. You’ll learn how to harness the power of your brain’s natural neuroplasticity; manage strong, distressing emotions; and improve mood and overall well-being. You’ll also discover powerful skills to help you prevent and recover from stress-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, anger, and substance abuse disorders. When the going gets tough, you need real, proven-effective skills to manage your stress and heal from setbacks. The comprehensive and practical exercises in this workbook will help you cultivate resilience, stay calm under pressure, and face all of life’s challenges. This book has been selected as an Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies Self-Help Book Recommendation—an honor bestowed on outstanding self-help books that are consistent with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles and that incorporate scientifically tested strategies for overcoming mental health difficulties. Used alone or in conjunction with therapy, our books offer powerful tools readers can use to jump-start changes in their lives.

"Superb. Substantial. Entertaining. Informative." An essential read for anyone who finds themself counseling or working with others. Aimed mainly at psychotherapy and coaching, but readily translates into lessons for business, education, and everyday use. 'Trust Me, I'm The Patient' takes you step by step through a process that lends itself to the most profound therapeutic transformation and yet can be used informally at home, at work, or in the queue for the bus. Science, psychology, philosophy, and a vibrating peach are all part of the story in this far-reaching but readily accessible guide to the practice of Clean Language questioning, a knowledge of which will enable you to enter another person's world almost unnoticed and once there to tread very, very lightly. And what will happen as a result is that the person you facilitate will get to know - and change, and heal - themself. "Philip Harland takes us on a clear and compelling journey into the nuances of words, questions, and sentence structure, and explains why small changes make such a big difference to both listener and speaker. He guides us through the minefields of unclean practice and shows us how seductive and wasteful our projections and assumptions can be. If you have ever wanted an easier ride with clients and colleagues, family and friends, this book tells you how to let go the reins and facilitate them to take up their own. A fabulous addition to Clean resources and one that most closely matches the way the creator of Clean Language, the late David Grove, would explain himself. I defy anyone to read this book and not clean up their language." Caitlin Walker, educationalist, author of Clean Language and Systemic Modelling

An intriguing and suspenseful debut psychological thriller for fans of Girl, Interrupted and Unsane. Dominique Stein is beautiful, young, and Jewish. Her sanity is overly dependent on external cues, chameleon-like. She awakens every morning at 5:59:59. She weighs in at exactly 111, her snug palindrome. These are the routines that keep her safe. Then, it all explodes. She desperately searches to find her way back inside that cozy bubble of sanity she had constructed. Lost, her bearings off and wobbly, Dominique can’t trust her instincts. Crimes are committed; not everyone survives. Found not guilty by virtue of temporary insanity, she is sent to a psychiatric prison for women. There she is caught between the kind, serene Freudian analyst, Dr. Haddad, and the head of the institute, the manic, megalomaniacal Dr. du Chevre, who offers her the Faustian contract: be the subject for his secretive, odd research, and he will get her out of prison earlier. Dominique has to navigate her way out of this institutional maze and the random, explosive violence of the prison by deciding which doctor she can trust—or whether they are both manipulating her for their own strange motives . . . In this psychological thriller, Gary Dvorkin crafts a compelling story of love, betrayal, and reality-shifting anxiety. Dominique hears many voices in her life. But which one can she trust? Which voice will ransom her sanity?

If you're a man who struggles with binge eating, emotional eating, stress eating, or if you repeatedly manage to lose weight only to gain it all back, you may be approaching things with the wrong mindset.Most contemporary thought on overeating and bingeing focuses on healing and self-love--a very feminine approach. But men who've overcome food and weight issues often report it was more like capturing and caging a rabid dog than learning to love their inner child...Open the cage even an inch--or show that dog an ounce of fear--and it'll quickly burst out to shred your healthy eating plans, undoing all your progress in a heartbeat.From his perspective as a formerly food-obsessed psychologist--and previous consultant to major food manufacturers--Dr. Livingston shares specific techniques for isolating and permanently dis-empowering your "fat thinking self." He reveals much of his own personal journey in the process.If despite your best intentions you find yourself in one or more of the following situations then this book is for you...You've tried diet after diet with no permanent success...You constantly think about food and/or your weight...You feel driven to eat when you're not hungry (emotional overeating)...You sometimes feel you can't stop eating even though you're full...You sometimes feel guilty or ashamed of what you've eaten...You behave differently with food in private than you do when you're with other people...You feel the need to fast and/or severely restrict your food to "make up" for serious bouts of overeating...Never Binge Again can help you:Dramatically improve your ability to stick to ANY healthy food plan so you can achieve your weight loss and/or fitness goals...Quickly recover from mistakes without self judgement or unnecessary guilt...Free yourself from the prison of food obsession so you can enjoy a satisfying, delicious, and healthy diet for the rest of your life!"What the Hades is this?

No eating foods you don't like. No fancy rules, schedules or psychotic workouts. It puts you fully in charge of your eating...and it's sustainable." - Keith Duncan CPT (Certified Personal Trainer)"Refreshingly unlike any other nutrition/healthy-eating/wellbeing title I've ever read...and I've read quite a few!
