Bipolar Expeditions
Mania and Depression in American Culture
By Emily Martin
Review by S. Nassir Ghaemi, MD, MPH on Tue, Aug 26th 2008.
Bipolar Expeditions by Emily MartinA few months ago, while presenting a lecture at a school of public health on my research into the life of General William T. Sherman, who I believe had bipolar disorder, I was reproached by a senior psychoanalyst and historian.  "Read Emily Martin's book about bipolar disorder," he told the audience.  "Then you will see the dangers of this kind of labeling."  I promised I would do so - and I did.  I find Martin's book to be excellent, but I am not sure the dangers she describes lead to the conclusions which my colleague made: namely, that it was

Neuroethics
Challenges for the 21st Century
By Neil Levy
Review by Christian Perring, Ph.D. on Tue, Aug 26th 2008.
Neuroethics by Neil LevyNeuroethics is on the rise: centers specializing in neuroethics are opening at prestigious universities, national and international organizations in neuroethics are being formed, and mainstream philosophical and ethical associations are putting on conferences on neuroethics.  Yet at the same time, many have major misgivings about the enterprise, because it is far from clear that neuroethics has a good definition, and it is far from clear that it has anything new to say.  There is room for suspicion that it is just an opportunity for philosophers and ethicists to repackage theories th

The Medicalization of Everyday Life
Selected Essays
By Thomas Szasz
Review by Jeffrey Poland, Ph.D. on Tue, Aug 26th 2008.
The Medicalization of Everyday Life by Thomas SzaszThe Medicalization of Everyday Life is a collection of sixteen essays written by Thomas Szasz between 1972 and 2006. Although each of the essays has been published elsewhere, there is substantial value attained by viewing them together in a single volume. The collection is unified by the idea there have been, and continue to be, powerful trends toward the "medicalization" of many aspects of life -- indeed, too many aspects of life. Its aim is to clarify what medicalization is, how it is manifested in different medical institutions and practices, what is wrong with it, why it occurs,

The Lives They Left Behind
Suitcases from a State Hospital Attic
By Darby Penney & Peter Stastny
Review by Kari Karsjens, JD on Tue, Aug 26th 2008.
The Lives They Left Behind by Darby Penney & Peter StastnyThe subject matter for The Lives They Left Behind stems from a random discovery of abandoned suitcases in the attic of the vacated Willard State Hospital in upstate New York.   The authors merged their various professional and personal roles to become an amalgam of investigative reporter, anthropologist/historian, and mental health researcher.  Penney & Stastny thus begin a remarkable journey to discover the past, present, and last known histories of the various patients whose suitcases and other personal belongings were so haphazardly left in the decaying attic.

In Search Of Dignity
By Günter Pfannmüller & Wilhelm Klein
Review by Mark Welch, Ph.D. on Tue, Aug 26th 2008.
In Search Of Dignity by Günter Pfannmüller & Wilhelm KleinSaint Jerome once said that the face is the mirror of the mind, that the eyes confess the secrets of the heart. Pfannmüller (the photographer) and Klein (the writer) have produced a book of some 116 photographic portraits of people ranging in age from four to 80, from the Rift Valley in Africa, the highlands of the Golden Triangle in Burma and Thailand, and the deserts of Ajmer and Pushkar in Rajasthan in North-West India all of whom, in some way, capture and embody the essence of human dignity.Dignity is not related to wealth (and many of the sitters may have incomes of a dollar a day or

Coming of Age in Second Life
An Anthropologist Explores the Virtually Human
By Tom Boellstorff
Review by Rob Harle on Tue, Aug 26th 2008.
Coming of Age in Second Life by Tom BoellstorffThis is a remarkable book. Tom Boellstorff has successfully achieved the extremely difficult task of writing a book that will appeal equally to the general reader and scholar alike. Coming Of Age In Second Life is well written, very well researched and whilst it does not get bogged down in academic detail and theory, it does provide reference to such theories that undergird the author's research. Second Life (SL) www.secondlife.com is a virtual cyberworld, created by Linden Labs, which is very similar to our own so called, real life (RL) world. You may buy or rent land, create artworks, bu

To Have and To Hurt:
Recognizing and Changing, or Escaping, Patterns of Abuse in Intimate Relationships
By Angela Browne-Miller
Review by Wendy C. Hamblet, Ph.D., SAC (Dip.) on Tue, Aug 26th 2008.
To Have and To Hurt: by Angela Browne-MillerAngela Browne-Miller's To Have and To Hurt represents a comprehensive survey of psychological and sociological theories explaining and seeking to remedy violence in intimate partner relationships. The need for the book is established from its outset by astounding figures of partner violence. Intimate partner abuse is reported at a rate of more than a million injuries a year in the United States alone; this figure is undoubtedly a vast understatement of the problem, since it excludes rapes and sexual assaults, and because victims often feel shamed of, or blameworthy for, their own abuse.

ADHD & Me
What I Learned from Lighting Fires at the Dinner Table
By Blake E.S. Taylor
Review by Maeve O'Donovan, Ph.D. on Tue, Aug 26th 2008.
ADHD & Me by Blake E.S. TaylorWhen Blake Taylor, a 17 year old, describes what it is like to have Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), he often gets it wrong. Yet, his misunderstandings constitute the remarkable value of his work.  The memoir's achievement is as a window into the way an impulsive, hyperactive, intelligent, curious and economically advantaged young male with ADHD sees the world. Until now, no such memoir has been available. Stories of growing up ADHD exist (One Boy's Struggle: A Memoir: Surviving Life with Undiagnosed ADHD and The Little Monster: Growing Up with ADHD), but Taylor

Sexual Reckonings
Southern Girls in a Troubling Age
By Susan K. Cahn
Review by Lloyd Wells, MD, Ph.D. on Tue, Aug 26th 2008.
Sexual Reckonings by Susan K. CahnThis is a fascinating book.  In it, Cahn tells the story of a sexual awakening of adolescents in the south over the past century, the social structures which evolved to deal with it, and its explicit and implicit outcomes in more modern times.  It is a story of race and class, and a story of individuals.  It is a sad and sometimes inspiring story.  In short, the author describes a societal response to female adolescence, as Caucasian girls went to work in an increasingly industrialized society, as they attained more personal and especially sexual independence, and as they

Forgiveness
A Philosophical Exploration
By Charles L. Griswold
Review by Raffaele Rodogno, Ph.D. on Tue, Aug 26th 2008.
Forgiveness by Charles L. GriswoldThis is a book about forgiveness as a moral relation, forgivingness as a trait of character (Chapters 1-3) and, to a minor extent, about some of the phenomena that are in family with it and in particular political apology and its acceptance (Chapter 4). The book is not about economic forgiveness (the forgiveness of debts), political pardon (as, e.g., in the USA, the Presidential "executive pardon"), and judicial pardon (the exercise of mercy or clemency by a court of law), nor is it primarily about metaphysical forgiveness (i.e., the effort to give up ressentiment caused by the manif

The Power of Forgiveness
DVD
By Martin Doblmeier (Director)
Review by Christian Perring on Tue, Aug 26th 2008.
The Power of Forgiveness by Martin Doblmeier (Director)This 77-minute documentary examines and advocates for the spiritual, psychological and social benefits of forgiveness.  It is narrated by its director Martin Doblmeier, who is founder of Journey Films, a company focusing on making spirituality, history and social issues.  The film centers on several cases of bitterness and remarkable forgiveness.  We see the bitterness between people in Ireland and Northern Ireland as a result of the Troubles, and an educational effort to teach young children how to forgive others.  This helps create a healing process.  Elie Wiesel, a

De-Stress Your Life in 7 Easy Steps by Glenn Harrold"The aim of this book is to help you banish stress from your life and cope with the pressures of modern day living."
