        Book Description

        In clinical practice, patients with comorbidity of mood and anxiety disorders are arguably the norm. This volume, part of a series on anxiety disorders and depression, focuses on social anxiety and post-traumatic stress. The text emphasizes how these disorders correlate in the patient, so mental health professionals can recognize them and assign the best course of treatment. Conceptual issues confront the clinician who evaluates such patients, and these volumes help the reader navigate those issues. Concise and easy-to-read, the Anxiety Disorders Comorbid with Depression series presents a practical approach to the management and treatment of patients with comorbid mood and anxiety disorders.

        5 out of 5 stars To the point, stressless way of handling Stress.......2002-05-02

        For those whose lives are so stressed they don't have time to read stress books, this is the book for you. Excellent, to the point, with many useful tips. As you read on, you realise that much of the advice you already knew but it had become buried under the workload. Richards brings these useful tips and simple practical exercises to the top of the pile thus bringing some normality and perspective back into your life. A must read for anyone who does not have time to read!

                                  For 40 years, the diaries of Ned Rorem have been ideal bedtime reading for musicians. This first installment of the new century, covering 1986 to 1999, parades a few of Rorem's familiar themes: insomnia, self-contradictions, letters to the editor (some never sent, some never published), and, of course, notes on his own music (including an especially lovely commentary on the English Horn Concerto). There are some unexpected anecdotes as well, including one about dinner with Nancy Reagan, an appreciation of Frank O'Hara, and the chronicle of a long-running dispute with neighbor Itzhak Perlman's air conditioner (the air conditioner wins). Rorem appraises new music, slamming Boulez, Schnittke, and Bruce Springsteen (who share good company with Beethoven and Mother Teresa), but there is a sudden about-face on Rorem's former bête noire, Elliott Carter. This time, however, the tone is darker than before because death is all around. Rorem's parents, in separate wings of a nursing home, die within months of each other. And above all, the diary covers the long decline and death of partner Jim Holmes, who suffers from Crohn's disease, cancer, and HIV (he withholds his discovery that he's been carrying the virus from Rorem for several months).

                                  The final third of the diary, when Holmes's pills alone are described as costing $15,000 a year, is achingly sad, but somehow, Rorem avers, "the purpose of a diary is to evade real life." He thinks that "nobody sings my songs anymore," so it is to be hoped that he was heartened by Susan Graham's sensational Rorem anthology released in 2000, as well as his 2001 Grammy nomination for "best contemporary classical composition" for the song cycle Evidence of Things Not Seen. Rorem's prose, as ever, is delightful and instantly recognizable as his alone: "there never was a Great Man in America, except maybe Martha Graham." --William R. Braun

                                  Now in paperback: "One of the great diarists.... [His works] delight, amuse, and enlarge our understanding of music and of life." -Boston Globe

                                  This latest installment of Ned Rorem's diary opens in 1986, when the author is sixty-two, and closes in 1999, when he is seventy-five. Though Rorem remains as energetic as ever during these years-new books written, new music composed-the tone of this volume is autumnal: his life and his world are winding down. He mourns the passing of dear friends, endures the indignities of growing old, and notes with bitterness the collapse of the taste and standards that once defined his artistic circle. As AIDS becomes an epidemic, he traces its grim course through the gay community and through the discourse of the Reagan, Bush, and Clinton years. Lies is an anthology of forms, each entry a carefully chosen, brightly colored tile in a literary mosaic, with all that readers have come to expect from Rorem: erotic fantasies, gratuitous slights, aphorisms, indiscretions, program notes, puns, punditry, and beauty.

                                  5 out of 5 stars Planet Earth's greatest diarist.......2004-07-01

                                  I bitterly begrudge Ned for being one of those self-congratulatory artsy-fartsy types who are constantly blathering about Art with a capital "A". I hate that mentality. But that doesn't prevent me from being a Nedhead. My other complaint about Ned's prose is his refusal to provide English translations for the French quotes. For the benefit of us non-francophones.

                                  Ned's self-righteous proselytory pacifism is another thing that drives me up the goddam wall. It's a big fat boring blindspot and he excretes smugness whenever the subject of war comes up. Pacifism is a form of simplistic absolutism. And it's just as wrong-headed as any other form of absolutism. Including aesthetic absolutism. Which Ned has himself addressed: "Until an Absolute is established as to what defines 'good music', I will retain my right to call trash certain works of Beethoven: the Emperor, the Appassionata, the end of the Ninth."

                                  Let me commend Ned's heroic stoicism in regard to the illness & death of Jim Holmes. I was depressed to find out that Jim was every bit the atheist that Ned is. As usual, I blame God.

                                  Ned Rorem is our best diarist. Is there another one at present? I find myself dipping into this latest diary all the time. I love the gossip as much as the next fella, but it's the mini essays on any number of topics that I truly love. Elucidates the sad state of the composer and the song right now.

                                  This was my first exposure to the writing of Ned Rorem and perhaps because of this, I found "Lies" to be thoroughly readable. Yes, there are moments when he does come across as a sort of whining name-dropper; but there are also times when he sheds light on dying, relationships, music, composing and the like that make it a worthwhile read.

                                  1 out of 5 stars sad drivel from a tired man.......2001-03-06

                                  This latest book by Rorem is a desperate attempt to continue reporting on his witty and sometimes scandalous life. However, the wit is trying and desiccated. Further, what Rorem now hopes we will find scandalous has more to do with his disdain of the words "pundit" or "grunge" than anything truly controversial. One can't blame Rorem; his lover's illness and decline was probably devastating. He might have done better to wait until he had some time to heal. LIES is more a study of a fraying and distracted man than a heartfelt account of fame and death.

                                    “In the spring of 1995, the condition I seem to have been waiting for all my life finally struck me.” So begins Jane Lazarre’s account of her transforming battle with breast cancer. Following in the tradition of her critically acclaimed literary memoirs, Lazarre brilliantly interweaves her struggle with a life-threatening illness and other stories of recent and past losses—most notably, coming to terms with having grown up a motherless child after losing her mother to breast cancer when Jane was a small child. Lazarre draws her strength from her faith in the power of storytelling to make bearable the seemingly unbearable. Her bravely and beautifully written account of grief, illness, and recovery is at the last a celebration of the redemptive possibilities of the creative spirit.

                                    SIDEBAR:
                                    “Jane Lazarre combines Adrienne Rich’s brazen approach to plumbing the psyche through language with a certain belief in personal narrative; her intense anxious attachment to her two sons; and her struggle to write.”—Mamm magazine

                                    “Reading Lazarre’s latest is like spending time with a friend. It’s a story bound to move anyone who has ever experienced love or loss.”—Publishers Weekly

                                    “Wet Earth and Dreams is a beautiful, engrossing, enormously moving book. It stirred me to the depths.”—Judith Rossner

                                    “[Lazarre’s] best and most powerful work.”—Phillip Lopate, author of Portrait of My Body and The Art of the Personal Essay

                                    5 out of 5 stars Grief and joy interwoven in marvelous prose........1999-02-11

                                    More than just a story of surmounting physical illness (in Lazarre's case, breast cancer), this is a story in which physical survival becomes a metaphor for emotional healing. One of the book's great pleasures is its structure,for rather than tell her story from beginning to end, Lazarre explores how different memories echo and amplify one another: the bewildered pain of a young daughter at her mother's cancer death, the adult woman's successive responses to the loss of a therapist and a brother-in-law, and finally her own breast cancer diagnosis. While the subject matter may sound grim, the language and above all the author's quiet determination to honor her memories as part of her own living future left me with not only a sense of admiration for Lazarre's courage, but a heightened confidence in my own ability to make meaning in the aftermath of the deepest personal losses. Finally, this is an incredibly moving story of mothers and daughters, and of the ways in which a daughter's longing can, ironically, estrange her from the woman she fears to resemble. The clarity of the images and graceful simplicity of the prose are poetic without any of the fussiness of some works that bill themselves as prose poetry. Read it slowly. Reread.
