Loneliness and Its Opposite: Sex, Disability, and the Ethics of Engagement
by Don Kulick Jens RydströmFew people these days would oppose making the public realm of space, social services and jobs accessible to women and men with disabilities. But what about access to the private realm of desire and sexuality? How can one also facilitate access to that, in ways that respect the integrity of disabled adults, and also of those people who work with and care for them?Loneliness and Its Opposite documents how two countries generally imagined to be progressive engage with these questions in very different ways. Denmark and Sweden are both liberal welfare states, but they diverge dramatically when it comes to sexuality and disability. In Denmark, the erotic lives of people with disabilities are acknowledged and facilitated. In Sweden, they are denied and blocked. Why do these differences exist, and how do both facilitation and hindrance play out in practice?Loneliness and Its Opposite charts complex boundaries between private and public, love and sex, work and intimacy, and affection and abuse. It shows how providing disabled adults with access to sexual lives is not just crucial for a life with dignity. It is an issue of fundamental social justice with far reaching consequences for everyone.

Lonely, Sad and Angry: A Parent's Guide to Depression in Children and Adolescents
by Sam Goldstein Barbara D. Ingersoll[from inside flaps] "All children experience occasional feelings of loneliness, sadness, and anger. However, when these feelings are so strong and so prolonged that they appear to overwhelm the child, the possibility of childhood depression must be considered. In LONELY, SAD AND ANGRY Ingersoll and Goldstein define depression in straightforward terms and explain how to tell whether a child or adolescent is depressed. They discuss the causes of depression and examine treatment options with an eye toward helping parents decide which treatment, or combination of treatments--medical, psychological, and environmental--might be most beneficial to a depressed youngster. Detailed information is provided about what parents and teachers can do to help depressed children at home, in school, and in the community. Finally, the authors look to the future and offer some ideas about what lies ahead. BARBARA D. INGERSOLL has devoted twenty-five years to treating children with psychological problems and counseling their families. She is the clinical director of Montgomery Child and Family Health Services in Bethesda, Maryland, where she lives. She is the author of the bestselling Your Hyperactive Child and, with Sam Goldstein, of Attention Deficit Disorder and Learning Disabilities. SAM GOLDSTEIN is a clinical instructor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Utah School of Medicine. He also works in private practice and is the author of four other books on children with psychological problems. This is his second book with Dr. Ingersoll."

Long Life in Florida
by Prof. Hilton HotemaHARD TO BELIEVE THAT MAN1. EATS TO DIE.2. DRINKS TO DIE3. BREATHES TO DIE.Is The Vegetarian Diet Harmful As Well As The Flesh Diet???For more than half a century, the author of the course titled LONG LIFE IN FLORIDA, Hilton Hotema, read books on food and feeding, and closely followed the arguments and explanations. He found those who favored VEGETARIANISM omitted all the bad features, and the same course was pursued by those who favored CARNIVORISM.Books favoring VEGETARIANISM say nothing of the damaging qualities of vegetables and cereals. Those favoring CARNIVORISM carefully omit the damaging properties of flesh.These authors lead their readers astray with HALF TRUTHS. A half-truth is more dangerous than a lie, as it is more misleading.“WE EAT TO LIVE, AND WE EAT TO DIE”This statement was issued, by a group of eminent doctors of the 19th century.If we eat to live, how can we eat to die? If we eat to die how can we eat to live? These puzzling questions are considered and answered in this book, first published in 1962.YOU will be given a proper understanding of the word HEALTH and shown HOW we were intended to live in GOOD HEALTH and full of VIM, VIGOR and VITALITY and not like most of the people of today...sick, nervous, irritable, etc.After reading over the manuscript of this course, one of our leading NATUROPATHS wrote: “It is the best I have ever found in the field of health and long life. It is a work whose equal has never been produced.”LEARN the simple laws of COSMIC EXISTENCE, known to the birds and beasts and explained so clearly in these lessons they may be understood by a child, yet as certain in action as the laws of electricity.
Long Lives Are for the Rich: Aging, the Life Course, and Social Justice (Aging and Society)
by Jan BaarsLong Lives Are for the Rich is the title of a silent ominous program that affects the lives of millions of people. In all developed countries disadvantaged and, especially, poor people die much earlier than the most advantaged. During these shorter lives they suffer ten to twenty years longer from disabilities or chronic disease. This does not happen accidentally: health inequalities – including those between healthy and unhealthy life styles – are mainly caused by social inequalities that are reproduced over the life course. This crucial function of the life course has become painfully visible during its neoliberal reorganization since the early 1980s. Studies about aging over the life course, from birth to death, show the inhumane consequences as people get older. In spite of the enormous wealth that has been piled up in the US for a dwindling percentage of the population, there has been growing public indifference about the needs of those in jobs with low pay and high stress, but also about citizens from a broad middle class who can hardly afford high quality education or healthcare. However, this ominous program affects all: recent mortality rates show that all Americans, including the rich, are unhealthier and dying earlier than citizens of other developed countries. Moreover, the underlying social inequalities are tearing the population apart with nasty consequences for all citizens, including the rich. Although the public awareness of the consequences has been growing, neoliberal policies remain tempting for the economic and political elites of the developed world because of the enormous wealth that is flowing to the top. All this poses urgent questions of social justice. Unfortunately, the predominant studies of social justice along the life course help to reproduce these inequalities by neglecting them. This book analyzes the main dynamics of social inequality over the life course and proposes a theory of social justice that sketches a way forward for a country that is willing to invest in its greatest resource: the creative potential of its population.

Long-Term Conditions: Challenges in Health & Social Care
by Cathy E. Lloyd Tom HellerSome people have always had to find ways of living with long term conditions such as diabetes or coeliac disease, but as people live longer, increasing numbers of us now experience long-term poor health. While some conditions that previously limited the length of life are manageable a growing number of people live with long-term conditions. Against this backdrop, Long Term Conditions explores the complex issues surrounding the experience of long-term illness and the enormous pressure this puts on individuals, their families and carers and on health and social care services. The perspectives of each of these groups are voiced within this book, with chapters written by people who use health and social care services, carers, policy-makers and practitioners. Using a variety of research methods to get to the heart of the matter, the book probes assumptions about the experience of long-term poor health and what constitutes good care. Its aim is to challenge readers to think critically about existing policy and provision and to inspire change based on sound evidence and a drive towards greater multi-professional working. Long Term Conditions provides academics, practitioners and students with a thorough grounding in the complex issues surrounding the experience and management of long-term illness. It is an ideal text for courses on policy, management and practice in health and social care.
Long-Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: A Basic Text (Second Edition)
by Glen O. GabbardAt the time Dr. Glen O. Gabbard's first edition of Long-Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy came out in 2004, the Psychiatry Residency Review Committee (RRC) mandated that all psychiatric residents must become competent in five different psychotherapies, including psychodynamic psychotherapy. Just a few years later, the RRC reduced the number of mandated psychotherapies from five to three, with psychodynamic psychotherapy being one of the triad needed in training. Also during that time, much rigorous research appeared in the pages of major psychiatric and psychological journals further confirming the efficacy and value of psychodynamic psychotherapy. Long-Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: A Basic Text, Second Edition, is focused on the key concepts, assessment, indications, formulations, therapist interventions, goals of therapy, and the mechanisms of therapeutic action all mental health professionals need in their daily clinical experience. In this manual, Dr. Gabbard expands on the application of basic theory and techniques in actual clinical practice. Therapeutic topics are brought to life on a companion DVD that gives students and residents a visual reference to the text through video vignettes of a senior clinician at work. As useful to educators as it is to students, Long-Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy serves as a guide to understanding the thinking behind the therapist's actions in a wide variety of situations. This "fly on the wall" glimpse into therapeutic mechanisms helps future psychologists, social workers, licensed counselors, nurses and others put psychodynamic psychotherapy into the proper context for long-term, successful treatment. This manual delves into the goals of therapy and the mechanisms for therapeutic action, including: #149; Assessment#149; Indications and formulation#149; Therapist intervention#149; Using fantasies and dreams in therapeutic action#149; Identifying and working with countertransference#149; Optimal use of supervision In addition to the DVD that serves as a guide to understanding the thinking behind the therapist's choices, this book also features a greatly expanded discussion of the evidence base for psychodynamic psychotherapy and a more extensive discussion on gender in transference. It also updates the neurobiological correlation between dreaming and its implications in psychotherapy and elaborates on the contribution of resistance to contemporary thinking. Equally important, Long-Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy provides its readers with a clear road map to greater understanding through practical, hands-on application such as case writeups, oral presentations at case conferences, written examinations, oral examinations, videotaped recordings and direct observations, audiotape recordings, and supervision to help build competent skills and broad knowledge.

Longevita' Decodificata: La Dieta Plant-Based che Ti puo' Salvare La Vita
by Bram AltonSiamo una societa' molto, molto malata. Se aveste qualche dubbio su quanto malati siamo, pensate a quanti medicinali sono disponibili senza prescrizione medica. Quante medicine prendono i vostri amici e la vostra famiglia? Quel numero dovrebbe essere un campanello d’allarme circa il precario stato di salute della societa' moderna. Se nutriste ancora dei dubbi, quante persone conoscete che sono affette da cancro, problemi di cuore, diabete di tipo 2, depressione, ansia, infertilita’, o altre malattie croniche? Una o due generazioni fa, questi problemi erano praticamente inesistenti. Ora, rientrano piu’ nella norma che nell’eccezione. I medicinali sono in grado di mascherare i sintomi delle malattie a cui facciamo fronte. Oltretutto, i medicinali hanno molti effetti collaterali che possono provocare ulteriori problemi di salute, il che porta al bisogno di assumerne altri. La causa di queste patologie e’ qualcosa che la medicina non puo’ sanare: la dieta scorretta. Sul punto, si da credito ad Aristotele per aver sostenuto che il cibo dovrebbe essere la vostra medicina.
Longevity Diet: The Only Proven Way to Slow the Aging Process and Maintain Peak Vitality--Through Calorie Restrictio
by Brian M. Delaney Lisa WalfordAt last, here's a book that synthesizes the increasingly popular CR (Calorie Restriction) diet for the layperson. CR is not a diet primarily about weight loss, although readers will lose weight. CR is about eating highly nutritious foods to extend your healthy years. Here's the concept: eat fewer calories and choose foods more carefully. This will reallocate how your metabolism uses its resources to convert food into energy; in other words, what goes in will be used more efficiently. You will feel better and function better-and the big bonus: the CR diet slows aging. CR lengthens the periods of youth and middle age and substantially reduces the risk of virtually all the diseases of aging. Brian Delaney and Lisa Walford, two longtime CR practitioners, will take you on a handheld stroll through the process, including an introduction to CR, how to do it, some of the key issues in the current dialogue, and the skinny on superfoods.
Longevity Genes
by Gil AtzmonThe release of the complete version of the human genome sequence in 2003 has paved the way for defining gene function and genetic background for phenotypic variation in humans and allowed us to study the aging process in a new light. This new volume results from that research and focuses on the genetic and epigenetic process of aging. While the interpretation of the genome data is still in its initial stages, this new volume looks at the evolving understanding of molecular mechanisms involved in cellular processes, gene function associated with complex traits, epigenetic components involve in gene control and the creation of hypothesis-free genome-wide approaches. Longevity Genes: A Blueprint for Aging explores the genetic and genomic elements that can maintain a long life such as DNA damage mechanisms, epigenetics and the way we can use this knowledge to generate customized treatments. It touches on some of the multidisciplinary approaches as well as genomic-wide association technology used to analyze complex traits. This book describes the hunt for genes affecting complex traits using a high throughput technology, with adequate consideration for the selection of an appropriate population, applications of statistical genetics and computational biology, and most importantly, considering phenotype-genotype association studies. Longevity Genes provides coverage of not only established aspects of genetics and aging, but also new approaches and perceptions in this important area of research.

Longing for Motherhood: Holding On to Hope in the Midst of Childlessness
by Chelsea Patterson SobolikWhen hopes for motherhood are deferred...Childlessness remains a taboo topic in today&’s culture, especially in Christian circles. Many women feel isolated, ashamed, or uncertain of how to reconcile this trial with a loving God. The death of the dream of motherhood—whether from infertility, barrenness, miscarriage, or the loss of a child—is one of the hardest journeys women can walk through. In Longing for Motherhood, Chelsea Patterson Sobolik speaks to these burdens specifically. She shares vulnerably about her own journey of childlessness and how she has ultimately come to view her story through the lens of Scripture and our hope in Christ. While remaining tender and empathetic toward suffering and longing, she discusses the comfort we have in knowing that the Lord is sovereign over all, and that His love is sufficient to carry us through any and every situation. A timely book for women struggling with childlessness, as well as for pastors, friends, and family who want to care for them well, Longing for Motherhood is a tender, truthful companion for a difficult journey.
