Diagnosis Human - How Unlocking...

Amy Begel, David V. Keith

Diagnosis Human offers a compelling alternative to the biomedical model of mental health as it's been promoted over the last thirty years—a model which says that mental distress is a problem of chemical imbalance, or brain chemistry. Biological psychiatry focuses on quantifying the "illness" by an almost exclusive focus on symptoms. In this model, symptoms are never good. They are always seen as a sign that something is wrong with that person, a sign of pathology that must be changed. People now have a name for what they "have" and receive a prescription for it. 
 
 
 
What may appear as intractable individual problems, however, often aren't individual problems at all. This book reveals how many of these distressing emotional states are created by nearly invisible, intimate patterns in our relationships. Diagnosis Human invites listeners into the therapist's office to be part of family therapy sessions, where they can experience practically first-hand what these intimate relationship patterns look and feel like. The authors present cases of adults dealing with depression, couples who come to therapy reeling from the betrayal of an affair, families with kids diagnosed with ADHD, teenagers with anxiety, or young children with temper tantrums. Each therapy session invites listeners to sit in as observers as the case unfolds, sometimes in dramatic fashion.

Depression - More Than Just Sadness

Owen Jones

Churchill, a renowned sufferer of depression called it ‘The Black Dog’, but it has had several names over the years, and it seems to be more common now than ever. Luckily, it can be treated fairly easily too, if the sufferer knows that he or she has a problem and also seeks help, which is far too often not the case. 
Most people ‘snap out of it’ with a little help from their friends, although it can and does return. Others can’t bear it any longer and take the ultimate escape route. 
I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable. Please be aware that I wrote the content of this ebook after a significant amount of research, but I am still not a health care provider. 
The information in this ebook on various aspects of depression and related subjects is organized into 16 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
I hope that it will interest those who are concerned about the problems associated with depression in all its forms. 
As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although it is better if you rewrite them in your own words first. 
You may also split the book up and resell the articles. In fact, the only right that you do not have is to resell or give away the book as it was delivered to you.

Something Big - The True Story...

Patrick Wohl

Customers know Brown's Chicken for its crispy buttermilk fried chicken and flaky biscuits. The Illinois-based franchise has a reputation for delicious but simple comfort food. But through no fault of its own, the words "Brown's Chicken" are also synonymous with one fateful night in January of 1993."A Real Hometown" is the trite but apt motto of Palatine, Illinois, a quaint middle-class suburb west of Chicago. On a snowy Friday evening, the staff and owners of the city's local Brown's Chicken franchise were closing up when two final customers arrived just past 9pm. As the night drew on and the employees hadn't returned home, the families of the owners and workers began to worry, prompting police to investigate. When they entered the dark building, police were shocked to find seven bodies stacked in the restaurant's freezer and fridge. The killers, of course, were long gone. In the months that followed, the horrendous story rocked Chicagoland and the case remained unsolved for nine years.The Brown's Chicken massacre is one of the most infamous cases in Illinois history, yet it is often misremembered. In Something Big, Patrick Wohl gives a new account of the story, taking listeners behind the scenes and sharing the perspective of the people who lived it.

The Narrative Therapy Workbook...

LCSW Phil Lane

Are you constantly telling yourself that you'll never be good enough, smart enough, or deserving of any good things in your life? Have the negative stories you tell yourself about yourself become so ingrained that you believe them as truth? Have you ever considered that you—the narrator—may not be remembering everything as it actually happened? When we think about our life stories, we often create an unconscious bias by distorting or eliminating events altogether. So, how can you write your true story—the one that reflects your authentic self? 
 
 
 
With The Narrative Therapy Workbook for Self-Esteem as your guide, you'll embark on a healing journey of writing and reflection to rediscover your genuine truth and supercharge your well-being. You'll finally get those negative stories you've been telling yourself down on paper—where they'll lose their power over you. Then, you'll be free to create a more mindful, and truthful, self-compassionate narrative, without being influenced by your inner critic. 
 
 
 
This workbook will help you: examine how your life story has been shaped by your experiences; build resilience, self-compassion, and confidence; expand your perspective on yourself, your experiences, and the world around you; and create stories that reflect who you really are.
