- Dubious cures and frauds : quirky objects in the Cotter Medical History Museum / Le Couteur, Claire
A quirky look into some of the strange "medical" objects from the Cotter Collection that also investigates pills and potions and wild practices of medical charlatans in early 20th Century New Zealand. From phrenology to vibration therapy, violet-ray machines and induction coils, there are plenty of wild and wacky "cures" to interest and amuse the reader.
- Live nourished : make peace with food, banish body shame, and reclaim joy / Spence, Shana Minei
In Live Nourished, Shana Spence starts by exposing diet culture for what it is: a patriarchal, capitalist mindset that is engrained in countless aspects of our society, and that keeps us from living healthily and joyfully. It's a systemic belief that equates fitness, health, and thinness with worth and assigns food a moral value. And it's a belief that pervades our society. Spence's arguments will open your eyes to the insidiousness of this mindset, which coopts the way that we speak, we eat, we move, and live our lives. Through a takedown of diet culture in all its forms, Spence explains why diets don't work, and provides you with the courage and the knowledge needed to prioritize nourishing the body and soul.
- Aging or Alzheimer's? : a doctor's personal guide to memory loss, cognitive decline, and dementia / Frumkin, Kenneth
Is it natural age-related forgetfulness, or the early indication of Alzheimer's Disease or other types of dementia? How worried should older people--or their families and friends--be about their memory loss? And what happens next? Kenneth Frumkin, PhD, MD, recently retired from a 36-year medical career and facing his own age-- and memory--related challenges, provides an empathetic and comprehensive guide to answering those questions. - Family-based treatment for eating disorders piece by piece : a practical guide for parents / Lock, James
This book illustrates how parents who are participating in family-based treatment (FBT) for their child's eating disorder (ED) may enhance their chances of achieving optimal outcomes for their child by more successfully navigating the challenges that often impede progress in treatment and recovery. The stance of the book is transdiagnostic, so that the information provided spans all ED diagnoses including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, and atypical ED presentations as well as conditions that fall outside current diagnostic criteria.
