The Twelve Generations of the Creation!
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Edwards, Larry D., PUBLISHER: Xulon Press, Genesis is divided into twelve different generations, twelve epochs of variable lengths. Each epoch is full of abundant spiritual lessons. God reveals His character through His names. Therefore, fourteen different names of God in Genesis are translated from Hebrew into English. This commentary is written from the perspective of a medical doctor. There are many medical insights to be gained from Genesis on human sexuality, the menses, aging and its physical and psychological processes, the dying process, and the care of the dying patient and his/her family. The account of the creation in Genesis, and from other parts of the Bible, is compared to current scientific theories. Difficult texts from Genesis are elucidated by a review of the original text in Hebrew and in Greek for selected New Testament passages. The Biblical Timelines are traced from the time of Adam until the birth of the Christ. During his medical career, the author has studied internal medicine, geriatrics, and infectious diseases and been credentialed in these fields. He has published in scientific journals in the discipline of infectious diseases.

In his second marriage, John Lewis fathered three more children. After the Unassigned Lands of Oklahoma Territory were opened for settlement in , John Lewis and his blended family moved there and share-cropped 40 acres southeast of Guthrie, Oklahoma, which he eventually bought. He died on this farm on 23 March . This book by one of his great-grandsons tells the story of his life, the lives of his five sisters and one brother, and their ancestry back to 16th century Oxfordshire, England.
Dermastir Luxury - Night Mask
COMPONENTS 50mL airless jar PRODUCT CODE DSLLM DESCRIPTION The Dermastir night mask is to be applied after the night cream and this is done so that the ingredients in the night cream remain for a longer time in the skin. With age the skin becomes thinner and therefore it is more difficult for the skin to keep ingredients and hydration in the skin. Using medical terminology one may say that the Dermastir night masks helps to decrease the trans epidermal water loss (TEWL). Dermastir night mask can be applied not only after night creams but also after hydrophilic serums usually found in droppers and glass ampoules. PACKAGING Packed in an airless packaging with vacuum flask technology that protects the active ingredients from oxygen, heat, light, pathogens and humidity POINTS OF SELLING • One of the main strengths of the Dermastir night masks is that the texture of this yellow mask is very dense but at the same time not thick and easy to apply. • The mask has strong tensioactive properties and this is visible to the naked eye. If a finger is inserted in the mask the hole that initially forms reduces in size till eventually flattening out because of the very high tensioactive properties of the ingredients. This property helps the ingredients to remain for longer time in the skin. This is very important when skin starts aging. • One important strength of the Dermastir Night Mask is that it enters the skin and it can be left in overnight with no need to be washed off. The Dermastir night mask will leave no residues. • The improved results are seen immediately the next morning. When comparing using a night cream only and a night cream followed by Dermastir Mask the results and difference is immediately visible the next morning. • The Dermastir Night Mask gives more value to expensive night creams and serums since the mask leaves the ingredients for longer time in the skin and they are not lost. When the ingredients remain for lo

In Isabel Wolff's captivating A Vintage Affair, a treasured child's coat becomes a thread of hope connecting two very different women. " " Her friends are stunned when Phoebe Swift abruptly leaves a plum job at the prestigious Sotheby's auction house to open her own vintage clothing shop in London--but to Phoebe, it's the fulfillment of a dream. In the sunlight-flooded interior of Village Vintage, surrounded by Yves Saint Laurent silk scarves, Vivienne Westwood bustle skirts, cupcake dresses, and satin gowns, Phoebe hopes to make her store the hot new place to shop, even as she deals with two ardent suitors, her increasingly difficult mother, and a secret from her past that casts a shadow over her new venture. For Phoebe, each vintage garment carries its own precious history. Digging for finds in attics and wardrobes, Phoebe is rewarded whenever she finds something truly unique, for she knows that when you buy a piece of vintage clothing, you're not just buying fabric and thread--you're buying a piece of someone's past. But one particular article of clothing will soon unexpectedly change her life. Therese Bell, an elderly Frenchwoman, has an impressive clothing collection. But among the array of smart suits and couture gowns, Phoebe finds a child's sky-blue coat--an item with which Bell is stubbornly reluctant to part. As the two women become friends, Phoebe will learn the tale of that little blue coat. And she will discover an astonishing connection between herself and Therese Bell--one that will help her heal the pain of her own past and allow her to love again.

Nothing Grows by Moonlight
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Nedreaas, Torborg / Lee, Bibbi, PUBLISHER: University of Nebraska Press, "Nothing Grows by Moonlight" ("Av maneskinn gror det ingenting"), first published in Norway in , is sure to be talked about. It is a moving novel of love, betrayal, search, and sorrow that introduces a major twentieth-century Norwegian writer, Torborg Nedreaas, to an English-speaking audience. Under the surface of a dramatic story rich in atmosphere lurk social themes that will be of particular interest to American and British readers. At the beginning, a man picks up a woman in a railway station. "It is really very difficult to say what it was that made me notice her. It was probably many things, my own mood, the weather, the emptiness of that particular day." It turns out that she simply wants, desperately needs, someone to talk to. He listens to her story, spellbound, and from that night he is haunted forever by the clear, honest revelation of a broken soul--as the reader will be. The woman describes her hopeless involvement with her teacher and lover, who continues to see her, always to reject her, long after he is married. Obsessively, she returns to situations in which she is abused. Finally, in confronting her past without self-pity, without denying personal responsibility, she realizes how much her self-destructive behavior owes to a capitalistic and patriarchal system that forces women into roles that make them emotionally and economically dependent. A powerful subthemes of "Nothing Grows by Moonlight" concerns abortion, which Nedreaas sees not as a crime to be punished but as a tragedy that would not be necessary in a more equitable and caring society. But what finally lingers in the reader's mind is the fully developed image of a woman, buffeted by life, coming to terms with God and man.
Art: Sublimation or Sympton
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Adams, Parveen / Restuccia, Frances L., PUBLISHER: Other Press (NY), "This book extends our map of the articulations that link art and psychoanalysis into a new understanding of what they do for and to each other. Between Lacan and Freud, Caravaggio and Joyce, Hitchcock and Cronenberg, the authors work through the methods of art and the structures of psychoanalytic thinking about art to show us that the roles of sublimation and displacement, symptom and enunciation are at once discursive and aesthetic. The partial identifications of the object and discourse, their incomplete relationships and overlappings between them, constitute a new kind of knowledge. If there is one that lies outside the established boundaries of cultural and psychoanalytic studies, then these essays take a step toward disclosing it, inventing it, and giving it a name." -Adrian Rifkin, Professor of Visual Culture and Media at Middlesex University and author of "Ingres: Then, and Now" "With Art: Sublimation or Symptom, Parveen Adams breaks new ground in a remarkable career during which she has made some of the most original and inspiring contributions to psychoanalytic theory as it explores the artifice of cultural form. In the company of her gifted and insightful collaborators, Adams explores the psychic and semiotic crises of creation. The making of art as symptom, they suggest, engages the enigmatic 'lack' or 'void' of both sign and subject. Why do we take perverse pleasure in being strung out by the experience of art, placed somewhere between semblance and signification, beyond the mimetic consolations of coherence, reference, and recognition? Psychoanalysis may not have all the answers, but it has the deepest insights into the insatiable desire that drives us to ask such difficult questions. With Art: Sublimation or Symptom, Parveen Adams has, once again, orchestrated a profound and patient inquiry into some of the most urgent cultural issues that face us today." -Homi K. Bhabha, Rothenberg Professor of Literature, Harvard University
But They Spit, Scratch and Swear: A School-Age Care Survival
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Whelan, Mary Steiner, PUBLISHER: Redleaf Press, They spit. They scratch. They swear. They talk back. They kick. They roll their eyes. They challenge. They throw things. Discipline, or behavior guidance, is often the most difficult part of what teachers do, especially for school-age programs, where there is often no curriculum and kids aren't getting graded. But discipline is also the most important part of a program, writes author, trainer, and former educator Mary Steiner Whelan. It can open the world of possibilities that live inside children -- the possibility of self-control, competency, self-respect, creativity, integrity, resiliency, and self-worth. Or, it can shut down a child's hope, her empathy for others, and her positive sense of self. A survival guide to school-age care, But They Spit Scratch and Swear lists the "do's and don'ts of discipline". The book will help teachers with little experience in the field establish behavior guidance techniques and philosophies in their programs, where there is less structure than school time and often more challenges with behavior. Beginning with a brief examination of the history of school-age care and the developmental issues facing the field, the book also includes an array of exercises designed to foster a teacher's self-knowledge as an integral part of learning how to discipline children. Covering a variety of disciplinary issues, from setting limits to giving children "cools" (the author's replacement for the punitive use of "time-outs"), But They Spit Scratch and Swear is written to inspire teachers to face the struggles of discipline and the challenges of each and every child again and again. The book urges that teachers do more than just memorize the rules fordiscipline, and instead look inside to ask how each do or don't works in a particular situation.

Liberalism's Crooked Circle: Letters to Adam Michnik
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Katznelson, Ira, PUBLISHER: Princeton University Press, This book is a profoundly moving and analytically incisive attempt to shift the terms of discussion in American politics. It speaks to the intellectual and political weaknesses within the liberal tradition that have put the United States at the mercy of libertarian, authoritarian populist, nakedly racist, and traditionalist elitist versions of the right-wing; and it seeks to identify resources that can move the left away from the stunned intellectual incoherence with which it has met the death of Bolshevism. In Ira Katznelson's view, Americans are squandering a tremendous ethical and political opportunity to redefine and reorient the liberal tradition. In an opening essay and two remarkable letters addressed to Adam Michnik, who is arguably East Europe's emblematic democratic intellectual, Katznelson seeks to recover this possibility. By examining issues that once occupied Michnik's fellow dissidents in the Warsaw group known as the Crooked Circle, Katznelson brings a fresh realism to old ideals and posits a liberalism that "stares hard" at cruelty, suffering, coercion, and tyrannical abuses of state power. Like the members of Michnik's club, he recognizes that the circumference of liberalism's circle never runs smooth and that tolerance requires extremely difficult judgments. Katznelson's first letter explores how the virtues of socialism, including its moral stand on social justice, can be related to liberalism while overcoming debilitating aspects of the socialist inheritance. The second asks whether liberalism can recognize, appreciate, and manage human difference. Situated in the lineage of efforts by Richard Hofstadter, C. Wright Mills, and Lionel Trilling to "thicken"liberalism, these letters also draw on personal experience in the radical politics of the s and in the dissident culture of East and Central Europe in the years immediately preceding communism's demise. "Liberalism's Crooked Circle could help foster a substantive debate in the American elections of and determine the contents of that desperately needed discussion.

The Paradox of Power: Sino-American Strategic Restraint in
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gompert, David C. / National Defense University Press / Saunders, Phillip C., PUBLISHER: Books Express Publishing, Published by the National Defense University, Institute for National Strategic Studies, Center for the Study of Chinese Military Affairs. From the foreword by Hans Binnendijk: "The first half of the 21st century will be dominated by the relationship between the United States and China. That relationship is likely to contain elements of both cooperation and competition. Territorial disputes such as those over Taiwan and the South China Sea will be an important feature of this competition, but both are traditional disputes, and traditional solutions suggest themselves. A more difficult set of issues relates to U.S.-Chinese competition and cooperation in three domains in which real strategic harm can be inflicted in the current era: nuclear, space, and cyber. Just as a clearer understanding of the fundamental principles of nuclear deterrence maintained adequate stability during the Cold War, a clearer understanding of the characteristics of these three domains can provide the underpinnings of strategic stability between the United States and China in the decades ahead. That is what this book is about. David Gompert and Phillip Saunders assess the prospect of U.S.- Chinese competition in these domains and develop three related analytic findings upon which their recommendations are built. The first is that in each domain, the offense is dominant. The second is that each side will be highly vulnerable to a strike from the other side. And the third is that the retaliating side will still be able to do unacceptable damage to the initiating party. Therefore, the authors make an important recommendation: that the United States propose a comprehensive approach based on mutual restraint whereby it and China can mitigate their growing strategic vulnerabilities. Unlike the Cold War, this mutual restraint regime may not take the form of binding treaties. But patterns of understanding and restraint may be enough to maintain stability."
Scratch Beginnings: Me, $25, and the Search for the American
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Shepard, Adam, PUBLISHER: Harper Paperbacks, Adam Shepard graduated from college in the summer of feeling disillusioned by the apathy he saw around him and incensed after reading Barbara Ehrenreich's famous works "Nickel and Dimed" and "Bait and Switch"--books that gave him a feeling of hopelessness over the state of the working class in America. Eager to see if he could make something out of nothing, he set out to prove wrong Ehrenreich's theory that those who start at the bottom stay at the bottom, and to see if the American Dream can still be a reality. Shepard's plan was simple. Carrying only a sleeping bag, the clothes on his back, and $25 in cash, and restricted from using previous contacts or relying on his college education, he set out for a randomly selected city with one objective: work his way out of homelessness and into a life that would give him the opportunity for success. His goal was to have, after one year, $, a working automobile, and a furnished apartment. But from the start, things didn't go as smoothly as Shepard had planned. Working his way up from a Charleston, South Carolina homeless shelter proved to be more difficult than he anticipated, with pressure to take low-paying, exploitive jobs from labor companies, and a job market that didn't respond with enthusiasm to homeless applicants. Shepard even began donating plasma to make fast cash. To his surprise, he found himself depending most on fellow shelter residents for inspiration and advice. Earnest, passionate, and hard to put down, "Scratch Beginnings" is a story that will not only inspire readers, but will also remind them that success can come to anyone who is willing to work hard--and that America is still one of the most hopeful and inspiring countries in the world.

A Christmas Spirit
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rikki, PUBLISHER: Authorhouse, It is said that a crisis will either make or break a family. Sometimes, even the strongest of relationships can fall apart when troubles arise, and we can be shocked by the manner in which people respond to problems. Issues which were previously ignored or buried are suddenly emphasized, demanding attention, at any cost. Left ignored, the price is very high, as the family in this book discovers. "A Christmas Spirit" is an intensely emotional story about a family's journey through a very difficult and turbulent period. Already having endured many hardships, this family is fractured without even realizing it until the youngest child becomes critically ill. With Christmas approaching, the little girl's health takes a dramatic turn for the worse. Quietly, her parents and brothers begin falling apart and it doesn't take long before the fractures become enormous cracks, threatening to shatter the family completely. Four-year-old Angelina watches as her family is forced to confront its demons, and she longs for her parents and brothers to find their way to healing. But as with many healing journeys, things must get a lot worse before even beginning to get better... "A Christmas Spirit" is certain to move its readers to tears as they connect and identify with each member of the Lane family. Meet Angelina and the others: Wife and mother, Kathy, so lost in her own emotions that she withdraws from life, entirely in denial; her husband, Robert, guilt-ridden and feeling inadequate; teen son, James, consumed by his own anger to the point of self-destruction; and Elijah, the wise old ten-year-old soul, trying to be the glue that holds his family together. Follow these troubled hearts, who are lost and struggling to find their way through the darkness, and who have lost all hope of ever finding the light.
The Kitchen Shrink: A Psychiatrist's Reflections on Healing
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wang, Dora Calott, PUBLISHER: Riverhead Books, The personal story of how a psychiatrist confronts the profound changes sweeping the medical establishment as they reshape her life and career. In the past two decades, a seismic shift has occurred within the walls of our nation's hospitals and doctor's offices. The medical profession- once considered a sacred, cherished vocation-has devolved into a business motivated by a desire for profits. Even psychiatry, once the mainstay of the human interaction between doctor and patient, has fallen victim to rising costs and dictates by insurance sources. How has medicine strayed so far from its roots? In "The Kitchen Shrink," psychiatrist and lecturer Dora Calott Wang delves into what happened. Through the prism of her own story, Wang elucidates key events in her professional life-the declining state of hospitals and clinics, the advent of managed care, and the rise of profits at the ex?pense of patient care-that highlight the medical profession's decline. Along the way we meet some of her patients, whose plights reflect the profession's growing indifference to the human lives at risk. There's Selena, whose grief over her mother's death and lack of family support make it difficult for her to take the medicine that keeps her body from rejecting her new liver, and Leonard, a schizophrenic with no health insurance who develops peritonitis and falls into a coma for three months. Each new story brings additional compromises as the medical landscape shifts under Wang's feet. She struggles with depression and exhaustion, witnesses the loss of top doctors who leave in frustration, and attempts to find a balance between work and home as it becomes ever clearer that she cannot untangle the uncertain future of her patients from her own. Part personal story and part rallying cry, "The Kitchen Shrink" is an unflinchingly honest, passionate, and humane inside look at the unsettling realities of free-market medicine in today's America.
Leadership Abroad Begins at Home: U.S. Foreign Economic
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Paarlberg, Robert L., PUBLISHER: Brookings Institution Press, What's good for the United States may well turn out to be good for international economic policy coordination. In this post-cold war era marked by pressing domestic social concerns and fiscal deficits, Robert L. Paarlberg says that the U.S. government should take an inward-first approach to global economic policy. Unless the domestic front is secured, he believes that international initiatives cannot succeed for lack of domestic support. It's a contrary view. The outward-first approach has dominated U.S. policy in the post-war and cold war eras. Paarlberg holds that the period was exceptional in the longer history of the nation and its relations with other nations. In the future, this sort of policymaking will be increasingly difficult to sustain. The U.S. economy is not as strong as it once was in relation to other economies. The security imperatives of the cold war have largely evaporated. And Congress is certainly no longer deferential to the executive branch. Under these new circumstances, outward-first international conferences, international negotiations, and international agreements may not work as a starting point for international economic cooperation. In this highly readable book, part of the Brookings Integrating National Economies Series, Paarlberg offers an in-dept examination of the merits of an inward-first approach to economic policy leadership. He contends that this approach should not be equated with protectionism, because it refers only to policy sequence, not to content. To the extent that inward-first is unilateral, he maintains that unilateral action at home can pave the way for cooperative actions abroad. He tests his argument with more detailed studies in severaldifferent policy arenasincluding international fiscal policy coordination and discipline, agricultural policy reform, and global environmental policy. Leadership Abroad Begins at Home presents an instructive survey of American political and policymaking institutions, and of America's changing position in the world.

Macbeth
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Shakespeare, William, PUBLISHER: Barron's Educational Series, This tragedy tells of a power-hungry Scottish nobleman and his lady, and the price they pay for violently seizing the royal throne. Books in this new, illustrated series present complete texts of Shakespeare's plays. However, the lines are set up so students can see the bard's original poetic phrases printed side-by-side and line-by-line with a modern "translation" on the facing page. Starting in the late s and for several decades that followed, Shakespeare's plays were popular entertainment for London's theatergoers. His Globe Theatre was the equivalent of a Broadway theater in today's New York. The plays have endured, but over the course of 400+ years, the English language has changed in many ways--which is why today's students often find Shakespeare's idiom difficult to comprehend. "Simply Shakespeare" offers an excellent solution to their problem. Introducing each play is a general essay covering Shakespeare's life and times. At the beginning of each of the five acts in every play, a two-page spread describes what is about to take place. The story's background is explained, followed by brief descriptions of key people who will appear in the act, details students should watch for as the story unfolds, discussion of the play's historical context, how the play was staged in Shakespeare's day, and explanation of puns and plays on words that occur in characters' dialogues. Identifying icons preceding each of these study points are printed in a second color, then are located again as cross-references in the play's original text. For instance, where words spoken by a person in the play offer insights into his or another character's personality, the "Characters" icon will appear as a cross-reference in both the introductory spread and the play proper. Following each act, a closing spread presents questions and discussion points for use as teachers' aids. Guided by the inspiring format of this fine new series, both teachers and students will come to understand and appreciate the genius of Shakespeare as never before.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sarat, Austin / Felstiner, William L. F., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, Each year more than 2 million Americans get divorced, and most of them use a lawyer. In closed-door conversations between lawyers and their clients strategy is planned, tactics are devised, and the emotional climate of the divorce is established. Do lawyers contribute to the pain and emotional difficulty of divorce by escalating demands and encouraging unreasonable behavior? Do they take advantage of clients at a time of emotional difficulty? Can and should clients trust their lawyers to look out for their welfare and advance their long-term interests? Austin Sarat and William L. F. Felstiner's new book, based on a pioneering and intensive study of actual conferences between divorce lawyers and their clients, provides an unprecedented behind-the-scenes description of the lawyer-client relationship, and calls into question much of the conventional wisdom about what divorce lawyers actually do. Divorce Lawyers and Their Clients suggests that most divorces are marked less by a pattern of aggressive advocacy than by one of inaction and drift. It uncovers reasons why lawyers find divorce practice frustrating and difficult and why clients frequently feel dissatisfied with their lawyers. This new work provides a unique perspective on the dynamics of professionalism. It charts the complex and shifting ways lawyers and clients "negotiate" their relationship as they work out the strategy and tactics of divorce. Sarat and Felstiner show how both lawyers and clients are able to draw on resources of power to set the agenda of their interaction, while neither one is fully in charge. Rather, power shifts between the two parties; where it is achieved, power is found in the ability to have one'sunderstandings of the social and legal worlds of divorce accepted. Power then works through the creation of shared meanings. Divorce Lawyers and Their Clients examines the effort to create such shared meanings about the nature of marriage and why marriages fail, the operation of the legal process, and the best way to bring divorces to closure. It will be fascinating reading for anyone who is going through a divorce, or has gone through one, as well as for lawyers, judges, and scholars of law and society.

The Lean: A Revolutionary (and Simple!) 30-Day Plan for
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Freston, Kathy, PUBLISHER: Weinstein Books, If you've ever dieted, you've undoubtedly worked very hard to achieve results--only to experience the disappointment of having the pounds creep back on. But now wellness expert Kathy Freston lets readers in on her secret: losing weight doesn't have to be difficult, and it can last. With this book she shares the powerful concept of The Lean--a radically effective approach to positive change--with a practical 30-day plan to transform your health and jump-start weight loss in the most gentle, easy, and automatic way possible. "Leaning in" is about setting an intention for what you want, weight- and health-wise, and then nudging yourself ever so gently in that direction, even if getting there seems impossible. It's about choosing to eat foods that are delicious, filling, and supportive of your goals. Each day of the scientifically based, vegan-friendly Lean plan, Kathy shows how to make and commit to small diet and lifestyle changes that, over time, yield unexpectedly significant results--something as simple as swapping in nondairy milk for cow's milk, eating an apple a day, or having an afternoon power shake. These changes propel you almost effortlessly into a forward momentum of ever more healthy choices, and work together to bolster your progress. There are only two rules: 1. All you need is the willingness to take "just one step." 2. As you add the healthier foods to your diet, eat the new foods first. By gradually adding in these nutrient-dense and fiber-rich foods, you'll crowd out the problem foods, feel fuller for longer, and simply stop feeling cravings. On Kathy's Lean plan, readers can experience sustained, healthy, and permanent weight loss of 1-3 pounds per week--plus increased energy, improved digestion, clearer skin, and renewed purpose. Complete with exercises, recipes, and powerful testimonials, "The Lean" offers not only a truly leaner frame, but also the little push we all need to get on the path to lasting change.
Math & Mathematicians 2v Set

Middle school and high school students working on cross-curriculum assignments in math class or science projects will find 50 contemporary and historical biographies ranging from three-to-five pages covering the early life, influences and career of mathematicians from around the world. They'll also discover approximately 35 concept and principle articles -- ranging from two to four pages -- describing the time period, culture and circumstances in which the breakthrough was discovered and a non-technical explanation of the principles involved. Some of the math concepts covered include currency, logarithms, prime numbers, quadrilaterals, time, weight and more. Chronological arrangements introduce the life and achievements of the individuals profiled and contain quotes by or about the biographee, further reading lists and other anecdotal information to keep each entry interesting.

Preventing Patient Suicide: Clinical Assessment and
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Simon, Robert I., PUBLISHER: American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc., Today's psychiatrists practice in an environment that poses difficult challenges. Both treatment time and duration are limited by insurance requirements; many facilities are understaffed; split treatment arrangements are typical; and high-risk, acutely suicidal patients are admitted to inpatient units for short lengths of stay. In addition, law now plays a pervasive role in the practice of psychiatry. The doctor-patient relationship is no longer defined solely by the involved parties. Clinicians must juggle these requirements and limitations while providing the very best care to their patients, especially those at high risk. "Preventing Patient Suicide: Clinical Assessment and Management" provides the wisdom of Dr. Robert I. Simon's vast clinical experience, combined with the latest insights from the evidence-based psychiatric literature, to offer a cutting-edge survey of suicide prevention and management techniques. The author: Addresses sudden improvement in high-risk suicidal patients, a phenomenon both common and perilous, with techniques for determining whether the improvement is real or feigned. Explores in depth the misuse of suicide risk assessment forms, with emphasis on their inherent limitations. Examines the many entrenched myths and traditions about suicide, exposing them to the critical light of evidence-based medicine, including the concept of "imminent suicide risk" and the myth of "passive suicide ideation." Discusses the continuum of chronic and acute high-risk suicidal patients, the fluidity with which one can become the other, and the difficulty in assessing these patients. Explores how the law and psychiatry interact in frequently occurring clinical situations, and the importance of therapeutic risk management. In addition, the book contains a variety of features that illuminate the subject and enhance the reader's understanding, including: Inclusion of illustrative case studies, combined with commentary on commonly occurring but complex clinical situations. Key points at the end of each chapter that identify critical information. A Suicide Risk Assessment Self-Test, a teaching instrument that consists of fifty questions designed to enhance clinician suicide risk assessment by incorporating evidence-based risk and protective factors. Dr. Simon provides a nuanced, empathic, yet pragmatic perspective on identifying, assessing, and managing the suicidal patient while successfully navigating a complex legal and clinical environment that poses its own risks to the practitioner.
