I'll admit I used to believe that we were hard wired in certain areas of the brain and once the brain broke it could never be fixed. I remember hearing that growing up. I also remember that my father had a brain injury and other than getting lost and distracted he was able to do what ever he needed to do. This book explains how it was possible ...             Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy4 reviews Gerald Corey Brooks Cole, 2008 very good Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RELJ6OYABGE0J I am taking the second semester of this class right now.

If I may suggest something that has helped my studies greatly, a ...             Psychology6 reviews David G. Myers Worth Publishers, 2006 for 101, it's a 100. This is a fantastic General Psych, Psych 101, or AP Psych textbook. My experience with it gave me the notion that this might just be the best Gen Psych textbook available. I got a 5 on the AP exam using this book, but more importantly, i learned so much from it, i cannot even begin to explain. I recommend this to students as well as teachers (for their class) because, simply, it just doesn't ...             Exploring Psychology6 reviews David G. Myers Worth Publishers, 2007 Exploring Psychology Excellent book - currently using it for Psychology course but this book is a keeper.             Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM-IV-TR Fourth Edition (Text Revision)107 reviews American Psychiatric Association American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc., 2000 "Must Have" A definite "must have" book for any student in a counseling program. Even if not "required", this book makes writing reports so much easier because then you know EXACTLY what is required for deifferent diagnosis. I suggest all counseling/psychology students buy this book as early on in their studies as possible.             Desk Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria From DSM-IV-TR (Desk Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria from Dsm)30 reviews American Psychiatric Association American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc., 2000 Review of Pocket DSM IV This reference manual is very well organized, comprehensive and portable.

Before I say anything else: I beg of the reader or the donor to NOT give this book to someone who has just gone into recovery. While the story is great and, perhaps, to the right reader, inspiring, it is full of "triggers" - because David Carr's descriptions are so vivid. Yes, David Carr's descriptions are vivid, even when - he admits freely - the memory may not be correct. Born in a ...             An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness328 reviews Kay Redfield Jamison Vintage, 1996 bi polar illness I found this book to be very helpful in understanding bi polar illness. My son suffers with bi polar and my mom also suffered with it.

Wallnau Wadsworth Publishing, 2006 Though the price was much too high, I still feel happy I must say I felt bad with the price of the book - I felt it was much too high. But after reading the first few chapters of the book, and noting that it flows and is very easy to understand, I do not have to complain so much now. I am loving the book now.             Barron's AP Psychology 2008 (Barron's How to Prepare for the AP Psychology Advanced Placement Examination)1 review Robert McEntarffer, Allyson J. Weseley Ed.D. Barron's Educational Series, 2007 Fabulous study guide! I used this book to prepare for the AP Psychology exam and was thrilled! I had never taken a psychology course before and thought it would be challenging to try to succeed on the exam to earn college credit. It was easy to read and the practice test questions were extremely similar to those on the actual exam. I was excited to hear that I received a 5 on my exam... and the only aid I used was ...             The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat: And Other Clinical Tales103 reviews Oliver Sacks Touchstone, 1998 Wonderful book!

Ratey Touchstone, 1995 I'm too distracted to review this but I wasn't distracted at all reading it Honestly, the title of my review wasn't originally intended to be funny. I came on Amazon to look up the publishing date for a footnote/bibliography reference for this book. I now have spent too much time reading reviews on diet books and updating my other reviews on movies and phones to do this review justice. But if you're looking it up, you don't want a long review anyway. It is the best ...             The Science of Psychology: An Appreciative View Laura A. King McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2007 Why Things Go Right. The Science of Psychology: An Appreciative View by Laura King (University of Missouri at Columbia) is the first text to bring a truly appreciative view of psychology-as a science and for exploring behavior-to introductory students.

Mark G. Williams, John D. Teasdale, ... The Guilford Press, 2007 Waking Up to Your Life Again: A Brilliant Guide to Understanding Depression I was actually led to seek out information on meditation as a treatment for depression through a book called Surviving America's Depression Epidemic by psychologist Bruce E.
