OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR.......2007-10-18
ORDERED THIS BOOK FOR MY BOSS FOR HIS TRIAL, HE SAID HE FOUND INTESTING THING FOR TRIAL, HE WON IT.
The Bible for Therapists.......2007-10-07
It is clearly the bible of all practitioners of psychology, because it provides information about each of the mental illnesses and provides the rule-outs, as well as Decision Trees. At this point, I would try to purchase a used one, because rumors are the updated version is around the corner.
I should bring it everywhere.......2007-10-05
Anytime you want to discuss a disorder, you have to start with the definition. Since this book is the gold standard among american psychiatrists/ologists, it's the place to go.
So fascinating..........2007-09-26
I love this book! Oh, come on. If you aren't a psychologist, I don't know what you're doing even looking at this book. This is of course the ultimate book on diagnostic information for mental disorders, but it's not written to be entertaining. It's written for clinical use. There will be a new one coming out in 2010? I think.

DSM-IV-TR.......2007-08-06
Great case book. Clear, interesting, insightful. Good for brushing up on your diagnostic skills.
aboura.......2007-07-12
its ok... it has scenarios of every disorder..it brings them to life, making it easier to get the picture. :)
Great teaching aid for clinical psychology students.......2004-08-12
Great way to see how the DSM-IV criteria apply to real cases. Beware, this is the exact same (with exception to the references to the DSM-IV-TR page numbers) as the 1994 DSM-IV Casebook. So, if you already own the older version, don't bother wasting your money.
Great Bathroom Book.......2004-08-05
This is a great book with real-life case vignettes illustrating presentations of most of the diagnoses in DSM-IV-TR. Though initially skeptical, given the contrived case names, the book is excellent. Each case is followed by a discussion of the DSM-IV diagnostic issues raised. An especially neat part of the book is a presentation of historic cases from Blueler, Freud, and others, as well as international cases. Each case is self-contained so the book can be read in a three minute sitting.
Recently, the publisher released the "Treatment Companion to the Casebook." I bought this as well but am a little disappointed that it contains only a subset of cases which are reprinted with discussion from the "Casebook." I would have preferred a true companion book and am annoyed by the redundancy. I have been reading the book together with the "DSM-IV-TR Guidebook" which complements it well, explaining the history of the diagnostic criteria, areas of disagreement among experts, and how the criteria are meant to be interpreted and applied.
informative and actually somewhat fun.......2003-03-12
I found this book to provide excellent supplemental info to the "DSM-IV-TR" itself. Written case studies, though no substitute for living, breathing subjects, actually provide a good deal of help in learning to apply the diagnoses in the "DSM-IV-TR". Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn how to properly apply these diagnoses or learn more about psychiatry in general. I found it actually kind of fun. Avery Z. Conner, author of "Fevers of the Mind".

Book Description
"I don't like the basic philosophy that everyone is on their own, out for themselves, a kind of social Darwinism. It's bad for society, especially now. . . . Call me crotchety, but I can't help asking, whatever happened to the social contract?"
With his characteristic humor, humanity, and candor, one of the nation's most distinguished advocates for working—and middle—class families delivers a fresh vision of politics by returning to basic American values: anyone who wants a job should have one; those who work should be able to lift themselves and their families out of poverty; and everyone should have access to an education that will better their chances in life.
An insider who knows how the economy and government really work, Reich combines realistic solutions with democratic ideals: businesses do have civic responsibilities; government must stem a widening income gap that threatens to turn our nation into a two-tiered society. Arguing that Democrats and Republicans have strayed dangerously off track, Reich breaks the impasse of current politics and shows us the way to fulfill our nation's promise.
Customer Reviews:
Slim, overpriced book with tired, predictable ideas.......2007-05-23
I enjoy watching Robert Reich spar with Steve Moore on CNBC's Kudlow & Company. Although I typically agree with Kudlow, Reich's perspective offers balance to the sometimes overly exuberant Kudlow/Moore supply-side axis. Robert Reich is a fairly sensible leftist - he was an architect of NAFTA after all - and some of his ideas are interesting (abolishing corporate income tax, establishing wage insurance for those displaced by globalization), but you will not find them in this book. I'LL BE SHORT is a glorified pamphlet for Reich's failed bid for the Massachusetts governorship, and it is stocked with standard, boring, and predictable left-liberal policies. Reich is credited for being the first major candidate for any office to advocate gay marriage equality, and for that he should be credited. But in retrospect, nothing in this book is visionary; it is a boring read, thin, and ultimately not worth your $10.
Needed to counteract the dry treatment of economic texts.......2006-02-24
I teach economics, and even I find it techie, dry and obtuse. My biggest concern is how do I keep the students awake. Economics needs a more human face than the abstact and disinteresting material we push at students using traditional text books. So I require a book report. This book should be a favorite because it is SHORT and to the point. It talks about economics in the context of a healthy society.
I feel that economic activity must be shaped by the culture of society rather than becoming the culture. That's whats happened here in the US. People need equal opportunity to realize their dreams. I like Reich's points of view, albeit liberal, as I do conservative commentators who are not simply pro-business profits because they talk about how to make our society more livable and fair or everyone. Fair? Yes. I did say fair. I'm tired of people dancing around this term. Its fair to demand that economics teach people that equal opportunity is the only fair alternative to socialism.
A brilliant analysis fit for the 1930s.......2005-12-06
Although the premise of this book is brilliant, perceptive and absolutely vital to the next few years; Reich sadly presents an incisive example of the economic thinking and progress that made Democrats relevant in the 1930s.
It's years ahead of the Bush ideologues, who act and think as if the 20th Century never happened. Reich is progressive enough to adopt the policies of the 1930s, and he does exceptionally well. He knows how to blow an eloquent "toot" on the whistle of a charming old steam locomotive; like many other politicians of nostalgia, he thinks it gives him the right to fly the Space Shuttle.
The world is changing. As an example, Wal-Mart can forecast with 5 percent accuracy how many copies of a new video disc it will sell, and it has that figure within four hours of the disc going on sale. That's where the brains of Wal-Mart is located, and it's why the company needs only $10-an-hour clerks for the check-out counter and to stuff the shelves.
When check-out counters were complicated, it made sense to hire $20-an-hour clerks. Now the job involves holding a bar code in front of a laser scanner, it has become another job where many companies could use "los barratos illegales".
No one has a "right" to a specific job; work must be earned by those who acquire the necessary skills. Fifty years ago, it made sense that American auto workers were the best paid in the world, their assembly work required skill. Today, truly skilled jobs are done by robots; assembly workers do low skill work that is too menial to be automated.
Success today depends on the desire to learn technical and personal skills needed for a specific job. Sadly, too many people have VW "Bug" skills and Escalade attitudes. Sorry, life isn't like that any more.
Let's do some numbers: there are about 190 million Americans in the labour force, plus 10 million unemployed; at least 10 million illegal aliens have jobs here. If Reich is right, then how can millions of illegal migrants with about a Grade 3 formal education get jobs that Americans with high school diplomas can't hold? Instead, every illegal migrant with a job is another proof that Reich is outdated.
Reich completely ignores this issue; instead, he offers Depression-era solutions for the future knowledge economy. There's a good business reason why there are millions of illegal migrants in America, and why no administration will take action against them. Reich, as a former Secretary of Labour, should address that issue.
The future is ahead. Americans deserve a better than going back to the 1930s with Reich's liberal allies, or back to the 1890s with Bush's conservatives of greed, cronyism, graft and war. This book shows Reich would have been a great Labour secretary for Franklin Roosevelt, but he was merely a seat warmer in the 1990s.
Please, we're all going to live in the future. So, let's think about the future, instead of resurrecting colorful but antiquated policies of the past. Reich should do much better, or else we'll all be Bushwhacked by the sultans of greedy-nomics.
Reich For President.......2004-07-20
This short book, which reads like a commencement address to a Yale graduating class, contains the summation of Reich's wisdom, intelligence and wit gained through a lifetime of academia and public service. He presents a roadmap for putting the American economy back on track after two decades of Republican social engineering -- bought and paid for by powerful special interests.
Too bad this nation stands little chance of electing a short Jewish president, because in Reich we find the vision and idealism sadly lacking from politics of the last generation. Our universally tall soundbite presidents have removed IDEAS and IDEALS from the public forum, replacing them with deceptive smirks, homey aphorisms and big hairdos. When Thomas Paine envisioned a country self-governed by the common men, I'll bet he never imagined the Barnum & Bailey cynicism of appealing to Joe Sixpack with one hand while simultaneously selling him out to corporate greed with the other.
"I'll Be Short" loses a couple stars for being intentionally vague about how to pay for rebuilding America, although this does not diminish the power of the message.
Where have all the jobs gone?/Gone to India, everyone.......2004-03-25
This is a liberal politician's book aimed at convincing everyone that the minimum wage, for example, ought to be raised, and that health care, day care, and other benefits for the "working poor" are not just good morality but good business. Reich's bottom line argument is that happy and healthy workers are more productive. And you can out-source THAT to India.
The problem is that happy and healthy, or unhappy and not so healthy, foreign workers are still cheaper, and that is where the jobs have gone and are going. No argument from morality is going to stop that. His argument, sliced a little finer, is that American companies need to make American workers happier and healthier at home so that don't have to out source; that is, make them happier than their cheaper cousins in Bangladesh and they will produce more goods and services (albeit at a living wage) and everybody in America will profit both economically and morally.
If only. I think Reich is right that making workers happier and healthier will make them more productive. But I don't think that will solve the problem of jobs going overseas. US companies will simply use the same happier, healthier techniques (at a cheaper cost) overseas and they'll still send the jobs away.
Reich's argument that spending more money on education and job training, on the other hand, is the right way to go. If America's work force is the best educated and most skilled it will out-compete foreign labor for the work and the work will stay right here. Indeed foreign companies will move their plants to the United States to get the best employees.
Reich's indictment of the Bush administration for its "semireligious faith" in "trickle-down" economics is based on the observation that "corporations and rich individuals," blessed with even more riches, will simply invest the money overseas because "investment dollars" in today's economy "travel the world in search of the highest return." (p. 116) I believe Reich is right about this and that the Bush administration is living in the fantasy land of a long-dead Keynesian past. At any rate, we'll see in a few years.
All and all this is a good book of its kind except I wish that Reich had not brought his wife's failure to get tenure at an unnamed university into the mix. He points to that day as the day he became a feminist. I don't think arguments about gender politics help his economic agenda. The fact that he called up one of those who voted against his wife and called him an SOB may understandably make Reich feel better, but I wonder how I would feel if I had lost a tenure vote and my wife called up one of the voters and called her a name.
Reich's rationale for injecting gender into the discussion is in answer to the constant harping by social conservatives on what they call "family values." Reich makes the point that it's fine to talk about vague "family values" when you are financially secure and have someone at home to take care of the kids. It's a different story when the sole support (the mother) has to work and commute to work fifty or sixty hours a week and can't afford a nanny or day care. Family values must be centered on home economics is Reich's argument (p. 106), and it is a good one. Also good is Reich's answer to the "blame-mongers" who peddle "simplistic explanations" for the decline of "family values": "They demonize people on welfare while doing nothing to end corporate welfare." (p. 101)
A question worth asking (and one I wish Reich had devoted some serious ink to) is, If no solution is found to the growing chasm between the haves and the have nots in this country, what will be the social consequences? Will we see terrorism adopted by the poor people in our cities and on our rust belt factories and farms as a means of acting out their frustrations? Or will they be docile sheep? As the entire world becomes more and more polarized between the first and third worlds, will terrorism become an instrument of the deprived as it is now of religious fundamentalists?
Perhaps a powerful argument for sharing the wealth (Reich calls it "redistributing capital" rather than the old-fashioned redistribution of wealth--but it amounts to the same thing) can be found in these dire thoughts. I don't believe that poverty is the root cause of terrorism in the world today. Osama Bin Laden is not a poor man. But it may become a cause in the future if the present tend continues.

or just get it to know the songs on her albums. This has the most popular songs and is spiral bound for flat viewing. Also check out her albums. Kate had a beautiful voice that could be haunting or playful depending on the need.
A Must for Kate Wolf Fans.......2000-11-04
Even though Kate is no longer alive, her music lives on. Ever think of one of her songs and can't remember exactly how the tune goes and what the words are? Sure you can listen to a CD or tape, but it's still lots of fun to sing or play it yourself. This songbook makes that possible and reminds us of just how special Kate Wolf was.

A Good Read On Your Next Flight .......2004-08-26
Professor John Sugden delves into the highly lucrative black market economy of Manchester's "grafters." Specialists in moving everything from illegally acquired soccer tickets to fake Asian-made brand name clothing. The prof somehow manages to infiltrate the world they inhabit, and documents their tales in a highly compelling manner. This is an articulately told tale, a welcome departure from the cookie cutter hoolifan books so popular in Britain. Though Sugden is sometimes in jeopardy from his study subjects, most of whom are actual or former hard core football hooligans, his ability to insinuate himself within this culture while maintaining a professional mindset is quite impressive.

The book also features a number or humorous features for each series, including chronicling Mary Richard's failed dinner parties or the number of times cast members greet Bob Hartley by saying "Hi Bob!" in the series (256, if you were wondering). If you're looking for plenty of information or trivia about your favorite shows, this is the book for you.

I believe in Better Living Through Television!.......2000-10-01
This is a fine volume, although I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, and the Munsters hardly merit inclusion in such august company as Mary Tyler Moore, or the Bob Newhart show, and perhaps not even with WKRP, Taxi, or Kotter. But don't let that editorial error keep you from seeking out this influential work in the study of the Golden Age of Television (1970-79).
The Classic Companion.......1999-07-03
I am a BIG fan of classic, wholesome television! This book is a terrific companion--(like the title reads). The book tells everything YOU need to know about the shows you love...the ones you grew up watching. The only problem...this guide does not include some of my personal favorite shows, probably other television lovers favorites as well. But, it is a great companion anyway. I love it!
