Caedmon Audio Cassette, 1993. Good ex-library Audio w:stickers/marks In plastic clamshell case w/some orig art/box inserted into case 2 Tapes play well <br></br>Book Description: When Bernie Siegel, a respected surgeon, realized that love, hope, peace of mind, having a caring physician, and other intangible, non-medical factors were very important in healing from cancer, he struck a nerve in America. His first book, Love, Medicine & Miracles spent 130 weeks on The New York Times best-seller lists. Ann Landers said, "Run, don't walk, to the nearest bookstore and get this amazing book..." <br></br> Dr. Siegel has since expanded his message of living with love and hope. In How to Live Between Office Visits he answers the questions he is most often asked, showing us how to draw on our strength and that of our loved ones to confront problems in a healthy way- whether they be illness or any other serious problem. Included is advice on staying well, healing ourselves and others, becoming healthy and raising healthy children, and how patients and their caregivers can learn from one another and live fully in the present. Bernie Siegel also shares his thoughts on hospitals and doctors, religion and the role of a spiritual life in healing, and letting go and facing death. . Abridged Audiobook. Good/Good. Ex-Library.

Deerfield Beach, Fla.: Health Communications Inc., 1997. Fine UNREAD Cover bright, minimal wear Pages clean bright tight Excellent copy From Library Journal: Following A Child Called It (Health Communications, 1995), which was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and appears frequently on high school reading lists, this is the second in a planned trilogy from motivational author and speaker Pelzer. Here he tells his story from the time he left his abusive mother and alcoholic father, through his experiences in five foster homes and juvenile detention, and how he eventually made it into the Air Force. He was a defiant, rebellious boy who, despite his background and personality, managed to endear himself to many guardians, social workers, and teachers. Pelzer writes in an honest, sometimes rambling, style; he is never bitter, and his story will find many sympathetic readers. However, he leaves many questions unanswered (which may appear in the third book), dealing with his adult-life relationships, his son, the mother of that child, and the ways he turned his life around. This is sure to be popular among students and readers who await a sequel to A Child Called It. Well recommended. Linda Beck, Indian Valley P.L., Telford, Pa.

Based on Dr. Severe's combined thirty years' experience as a school psychologist and parenting workshop leader, How to Behave So your Children Will, Too! shows why a child's behavior is often a reflection of the, parents' behavior, and how, by making changes themselves, parents can achieve, dramatic results in their children. <br></br> Instead of focusing on what children do wrong, this book teaches You what You can (to right, by emphasizing the positive, by being consistent, and by being more patient, recognizing that children often operate on a different time schedule.

It shows you how to manage your anger and how to prevent arguments and power struggles. <br></br> Dr. Severe provides concrete strategies for dealing with common problems: solving homework hassles, ending tantrums, avoiding the temptation to give in to your child when you're exhausted, creating reasonable rules for every age, and making sure to take time for children even when you and your spouse are working full time. These methods are well tested and are inspired by stories and ideas that Dr. Severe has gleaned from parents in his workshops over many years. . First Edition, Later Printing. Hard Cover.

VG+ to Near Fine 3rd printing Cover bright, very minor wear, blk spot bottom edge Pages appear all clean bright tight, bottom page edge blk remainder mark, side edge sm spot Dust Jacket bright, minor shelfwear, scuffs, bl mark across ISBN, some indents rubs <br></br> From Publishers Weekly: If the title might seem to ask for a skeptical rejoinder, then don't judge too hastily. Windell ( Discipline: A Sourcebook of 50 Failsafe Techniques for Parents ), who has taught "parent-training" classes for a quarter century, here rejects some of the usual means of disciplining children--e.g., inducing fear as a primary motive--while affirming other techniques and making new and rational suggestions. Throughout, he emphasizes the importance of consistency as a tool for ushering change into a child's bad behavioral habits. Scheduling his strategies into a week-by-week series of courses, the author urges sufficient "loving" but insists "love is not enough"; to augment that, he recommends respect, "setting strict and firm limits," enforcing these, and yet also "allowing for dissent and expression" of children's emotions as adults move with them through a developmental process. Windell provides homework assignments at the close of chapters that ask parents to come to grips with the particulars of their situation in an objective fashion. And he certainly does not rule out punishment, but notes that it should be well-considered. His stories of fractious children (and dialogue) are likely to ease a reader's way. But as always, the proof is in the doing. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. . Later Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

VG Original box bright, very minor wear, lt indents 2 tapes play very well Read by authors Plays 140 minutes <br></br> From AudioFile: Oprah and her trainer, Bob Greene, put their spin on the importance of diet and exercise. Audio is perfect for this program; in fact, it's hard to imagine it without Oprah's zestful voice and candid narrative. Greene comes off well, too, in the commentaries that are interspersed with Oprah's. Whether she's relating her dieting history or the story of her first marathon, Oprah's style is impressive. Her day job is talking to and about people, but listeners still get the sense she's sharing something truly heartfelt, which goes beyond her usual enthusiasm. The message is strongly and effectively presented, and with the Oprah style, not to mention her influence on millions, this program shouldn't be missed. R.F.W. An AUDIOFILE Earphones Award winner.

New York: Crossroad Publishing Company, 1999. Near Fine UNREAD 1999 3rd printing Cover bright, very minor shelfwear Pages clean bright tight Excellent copy <br></br> Book Description: In doctor's offices, therapy sessions, and in the courtroom, the term Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is being discussed with increasing frequency as the crippling effects of this severe life stress are identified. This is the first book for victims (and their families) that describes what PTSD is, including the linkage between addiction and this kind of trauma, and shows how to marshall the skills of stress-resistant persons to recover from its debilitating effects. The causes of PTSD are many, all associated with violence and abuse. They range from rape and battering and child abuse to the horrors of combat or calamities like natural disasters and auto and airplane crashes. These traumatic events are overwhelming in their impact and destroy the victims' sense of being in control of their lives, and alter attachments to others. If left untreated these disruptions, along with physical symptoms such as being unable to relax, being easily startled, or having recurring nightmares or intrusive memories, form this medical condition. Although an expert in the treatment of stress, Raymond Flannery writes with great clarity for the lay-person, and offers real hope that recovery and healing is possible. Therapists and counselors will find this book to be of great assistance in their efforts to help victims.. Later Printing. Soft Cover. Very Good.

Near Fine 1994 1st Ed Cover bright, minor shelfwear to corners, lt scuffs Pages clean bright tight Nice <br></br> From the Publisher: Posing the question "Have you ever felt that 'something' was missing, that there has to be more?", this enlightening spiritual story guides readers to realize that the happiness they seek is inside themselves. Originally self-published to critical acclaim, The Celestial Bar is the powerful story of Jonathan "Digger " Taylor, a man who -- like so many of us -- wanders from job to job, relationship to relationship, seeking the intangible "something" that is missing from his life. His spirited, but painful quest is offset by a dark predatory figure that haunts his dream and waking worlds. Meditating before a crucial music audition, Digger takes refuge in The Celestial Bar, a way station for transitory souls. In this magical place, Digger meets a number of spiritual guides, including Paula, a beautiful waitress and soul mate to Digger. In the company of the wise inhabitants of this home-away-from-home, Digger begins to discover basic truths called Universal Principles: how simple changes in focus can powerfully shift our reality, that we are all beings of energy put on Earth to improve ourselves spiritually, and that we must balance the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual parts of ourselves in order to achieve true happiness. Entertaining and insightful, The Celestial Bar will guide readers on a spiritual journey of self-discovery, taking them to the one place where the answers lie -- within themselves.
