Too Loud, Too Bright, Too Fast, Too Tight
by Sharon HellerIn the publishing tradition of Driven to Distraction or The Boy Who Couldn't Stop Washing, this prescriptive book by a developmental psychologist and sufferer of Sensory Defensive Disorder (SD) sheds light on a little known but common affliction in which sufferers react to harmless stimuli as irritating, distracting or dangerous.We all know what it feels like to be irritated by loud music, accosted by lights that are too bright, or overwhelmed by a world that moves too quickly. But millions of people suffer from Sensory Defensive Disorder (SD), a common affliction in which people react to harmless stimuli not just as a distracting hindrance, but a potentially dangerous threat.Sharon Heller, Ph.D. is not only a trained psychologist, she is sensory defensive herself. Bringing both personal and professional perspectives, Dr. Heller is the ideal person to tell the world about this problem that will only increase as technology and processed environments take over our lives. In addition to heightening public awareness of this prevalent issue, Dr. Heller provides tools and therapies for alleviating and, in some cases, even eliminating defensiveness altogether.Until now, the treatment for sensory defensiveness has been successfully implemented in Learning Disabled children in whom defensiveness tends to be extreme. However, the disorder has generally been unidentified in adults who think they are either overstimulated, stressed, weird, or crazy. These sensory defensive sufferers live out their lives stressed and unhappy, never knowing why or what they can do about it. Now, with Too Loud, Too Bright, Too Fast, Too Tight, they have a compassionate spokesperson and a solution-oriented book of advice.
Too Much: A Guide to Breaking the Cycle of High-Functioning Co-dependency

Too Nice for Your Own Good: How to Stop Making 9 Self-Sabotaging Mistakes

Too Perfect: When Being in Control Gets Out of Control
by Allan E. Mallinger Jeannette De Wyze[From The Front Flap.] The rewards of perfectionism are obvious: success, financial security, the respect of friends and colleagues. But, inevitably, perfection comes at a price- too often, the loss of intimacy, emotional authenticity, and self-esteem. The tendency toward perfectionism and a host of related behaviors are hallmarks of the obsessive, a personality style that contributes to an outward appearance of poise, confidence, and strength but inwardly can cause anguish, suffering, and turmoil. The result of more than ten years of clinical research and observations from Dr. Allan Mallinger's private practice, Too Perfect helps identify the destructive patterns obsessives can unwittingly fall into, as well as the enormous emotional toll such behavior exacts on the obsessive and on friends and loved ones. From the compulsive worrier to the endlessly orderly "neat freak" and the driven workaholic, Dr. Mallinger shows how a disproportionate need for control-and an overwhelming fear of the uncertainty that exists in uncontrolled situations-can lead obsessives to adopt paralyzingly rigid roles almost like armor against life's uncertainties. But in ruling out the unexpected, these protective roles too often end up depriving the obsessive of emotional closeness, leisure time, an overall feeling of well-being-the very things the obsessive strives to ensure by virtue of his or her "flawless" performance in life. Fortunately, assures Dr. Mallinger, change is possible for even the most stubbornly resistant obsessive. Through both extensive case histories and specific suggestions for behavior modification, Too Perfect illustrates the road to change and offers hope to people who have sacrificed their right to happiness to their need to be right-and those who love them.
Too Safe for Their Own Good: How Risk and Responsibility Help Teens Thrive
by Michael UngarCanadian children are safer now than at any other time in history. So why are we so fearful for them? When they're young, we drive them to playdates, fill up their time with organized activity, and cocoon them from every imaginable peril. We think we are doing what's best for them. But as they grow into young adults and we continue to manage their lives, running interference with teachers and coaches, we are, in fact, unwittingly stunting them. Internationally respected social worker and family therapist Michael Ungar tells us why our mania to keep our kids safe is causing us to do the opposite: put them in harm's way. By continuing to protect them from failure and disappointment, many of our kids are missing out on the "risk-taker's advantage," the benefits that come from experiencing manageable amounts of danger. In Too Safe for Their Own Good, Ungar inspires parents to recall their own childhoods and the lessons they learned from being risk-takers and responsibility-seekers, much to the annoyance of their own parents. He offers the support parents need in setting appropriate limits and provides concrete suggestions for allowing children the opportunity to experience the rites of passage that will help them become competent, happy, thriving adults.In many communities, we are failing miserably doing much more than keeping our children vacuum-safe. They are not getting the experiences they need to grow up well. An entire generation of children from middle class homes, in downtown row houses, apartment blocks, and copycat suburbs, whose good fortune it is to have sidewalks and neighbourhood watch programs, crossing guards, and playground monitors, are not being provided with the opportunities they need to learn how to navigate their way through life's challenges. We don't intend any harm. Quite the contrary. In our mania to provide emotional life jackets around our kids, helmets and seatbelts, approved playground equipment, after-school supervision, an endless stream of evening programming, and no place to hang out but the tiled flooring of our local mall, we parents are accidentally creating a generation of youth who are not ready for life. Our children are too safe for their own good.

by Stephen Mitchell Erin MitchellHow couples with kids can transform 13 common relationship fights into closer connection, from popular Instagram counselors Erin and Stephen Mitchell (@couples.counseling.for.parents).Parenting changes a couple&’s relationship in fundamental ways, but most parents are too exhausted from the demands of life, work, and engaging their kids to prioritize their relationship.

What Sex Life?&” Conflict In each scenario, they show how this conflict plays out—and offer scripts, questions for reflection, and their tried-and-true Conflict to Connection Equation that couples can use in the moment to communicate true repair and resolution. Their secret: by expressing your feelings and intentionally listening to your partner—not just venting or reacting to your stress-response system—you can work through the &“pain points&” of parenthood together and actually make your relationship happier and healthier as a result.
Toolbox Resilienz: Skills für den Umgang mit kritischen Situationen beim Lernen und im Klinikalltag (essentials)
by Martina Kahl-ScholzResilienz ist mittlerweile als Schlagwort überall da zu hören, wo Menschen sich Herausforderungen gegenübersehen – egal, ob das für den privaten oder beruflichen Bereich, für einzelne Personen, Teams oder ganze Unternehmen gilt. Resilienz ist aber kein Allheilmittel, das man sich im Vorbeigehen aneignen und dann jederzeit anwenden kann. Vielmehr beschreibt Resilienz eine innere Haltung, die sich allgemeinhin aus mehreren Bausteinen zusammensetzt – genau das gilt für die ureigene Widerstandskraft, um die es in diesem essential gehen soll, auch.Aus eigener Erfahrung beschreibt die Autorin, welche Herausforderungen das Medizinstudium und der spätere klinische Alltag bereithalten können – und dass man zwar theoretisch darauf vorbereitet sein kann, die praktische Erfahrung aber doch die Vorstellung davon meistens um Längen schlägt. Dieses essential soll eine kleine Hilfestellung bieten, um durch das Näherrücken an das Thema „Resilienz&“ einige Skills zu vermitteln, die das Lernen erleichtern und auch den Umgang mit kritischen Situationen im Klinikalltag einfacher machen. Damit hilft man als angehender Arzt/angehende Ärztin nicht nur sich selbst, sondern auch den Patienten, die man behandelt.

Top Brain, Bottom Brain: Surprising Insights into How You Think
by G. Wayne Miller Stephen KosslynOne of the world&’s leading neuroscientists teams up with an accomplished writer to debunk the popular left-brain/right-brain theory and offer an exciting new way of thinking about our minds.For the past fifty years, popular culture has led us to believe in the left-brain vs. right-brain theory of personality types. Right-brain people, we&’ve been told, are artistic, intuitive, and thoughtful, while left-brain people tend to be more analytical, logical, and objective. It would be an illuminating theory if it did not have one major drawback: It is simply not supported by science. Dr. Stephen M. Kosslyn, who Steven Pinker calls &“one of the world&’s great cognitive neuroscientists,&” explains with cowriter G. Wayne Miller an exciting new theory of the brain. Presenting extensive research in an inviting and accessible way, Kosslyn and Miller describe how the human brain uses patterns of thought that can be identified and understood through four modes of thinking: Mover, Perceiver, Stimulator, and Adaptor. Once you&’ve identified your usual mode of thought, the practical applications are limitless, from how you work with others when you conduct business, to your personal relationships, to your voyage of self-discovery. The second edition of Top Brain, Bottom Brain includes expanded practical applications and highlights how readers can harness the theory to succeed in their own lives.
Top Dog: The Science of Winning and Losing
by Po Bronson Ashley MerrymanIt's a Dog Eat Dog World. Don't Be on the Menu.What are the differences between a winning and losing performance? Why are we able to rise to the challenge one day, but wilt from it the next? Can we in fact become better competitors? In TOP DOG, Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman use cutting edge science to tease out the hidden factors at the core of every great triumph - and every tragic failure.

Integrating wisdom from politics, finance, genetics, neuroscience, psychology, military training, sports, economics, education and more, TOP DOG offers counterintuitive, game-changing insights into the nature of competition, such as: Why the home field advantage in sports is just as relevant in diplomacy and deal-making That women are better at judging risk, while men are better at ignoring it - and how this plays out on K Street and Wall Street Why younger siblings are more competitive than first-borns, and how early-childhood influences shape competitive styles forever That the shape of entrepreneurs' hands can be just as revealing as their business plans How a single biochemical can predict a winner before an event has even begun Why discord can be better than harmony, and why stars on a team do deserve special treatment. As President Dwight Eisenhower said, "What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight-it's the size of the fight in the dog." In TOP DOG, Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman reveal the size of the fight in all of us.

Topics and Trends in Current Statistics Education Research: International Perspectives (ICME-13 Monographs)
by Gail Burrill Dani Ben-ZviThis book focuses on international research in statistics education, providing a solid understanding of the challenges in learning statistics. It presents the teaching and learning of statistics in various contexts, including designed settings for young children, students in formal schooling, tertiary level students, and teacher professional development. The book describes research on what to teach and platforms for delivering content (curriculum), strategies on how to teach for deep understanding, and includes several chapters on developing conceptual understanding (pedagogy and technology), teacher knowledge and beliefs, and the challenges teachers and students face when they solve statistical problems (reasoning and thinking). This new research in the field offers critical insights for college instructors, classroom teachers, curriculum designers, researchers in mathematics and statistics education as well as policy makers and newcomers to the field of statistics education. Statistics has become one of the key areas of study in the modern world of information and big data. The dramatic increase in demand for learning statistics in all disciplines is accompanied by tremendous growth in research in statistics education. Increasingly, countries are teaching more quantitative reasoning and statistics at lower and lower grade levels within mathematics, science and across many content areas. Research has revealed the many challenges in helping learners develop statistical literacy, reasoning, and thinking, and new curricula and technology tools show promise in facilitating the achievement of these desired outcomes.
Topics in Cognitive Rehabilitation in the TBI Post-Hospital Phase
by Renato Anghinah Wellingson Paiva Linamara Rizzo Battistella Robson AmorimTraumatic brain injury (TBI) refers to nondegenerative, noncongenital damage to the brain from an external mechanical force, which can lead to permanent or temporary impairment of cognitive, physical, and psychosocial functions, with an associated diminished or altered state of consciousness. Despite this broad definition, it is estimated that more than 1.500.000 people suffer TBI annually in US, with 20% afflicted with moderate or severe forms. Additionally, a high percentage of these patients are unable to return to their daily routine (approximately 50%). In this context, both motor and cognitive rehabilitation are extremely important for these individuals. The aim of cognitive and motor rehabilitation is to recover an individual’s ability to process, interpret and respond to environmental inputs, as well as to create strategies and procedures to compensate for lost functions that are necessary in familial, social, educational and occupational settings. The purpose of this book is to review the basic concepts related to TBI, including mechanisms of injury, acute and post-acute care, severity levels, the most common findings in mild, moderate and severe TBI survivors, and the most frequent cognitive and motor impairments following TBI, as well as to discuss the strategies used to support post-TBI patients. The most important rehabilitation techniques, both from cognitive and motor perspectives, are addressed. Finally, information regarding work and community re-entry and familial and psychological support are discussed in detail.Topics in Cognitive Rehabilitation in the TBI Post-Hospital Phase is intended as a reference guide for all professionals who have contact with or are related to patients suffering from TBI. Any professionals who work with or are related to patients suffering from TBI will find here a broad and comprehensive overview of TBI, addressing all essential issues, from acute care to rehabilitation strategies, follow up and re-socialization.
Topics in the History of Psychology: Volume I
by Gregory A. Kimble Kurt SchlesingerFirst published in 1985. At one end of historical time scale, speculations about psychological processes go back to classical Greek philosophy and beyond. For centuries thereafter, the treatment of psychological subject matter remained largely in the domain of other disciplines, especially philosophy, where it became inextricably interwoven with epistemology. The chapters of this book glance only briefly at these philosophical antecedents, to review the basic concepts and principles that early investigators were to take for granted. They tend then to move to the end of the last century when the systematic study of psychological processes began.
