Summary

COVID Myths tackles the widespread misinformation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, a critical issue that significantly impacted public health. By dissecting false beliefs about the virus's origin, transmission, and potential cures, the book equips readers with the tools to critically evaluate information and make informed decisions. It highlights how reliance on evidence-based science is paramount during public health crises, especially when misinformation spreads rapidly through social media. For example, the book clarifies the actual modes of transmission, contrasting scientific findings with common misconceptions.

 


 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with the emergence of COVID-19 and debunking conspiracy theories. It then analyzes modes of transmission, clarifying the roles of aerosols, droplets, and surfaces. A section of COVID Myths evaluates preventative measures like vaccines and mask mandates against unproven remedies. It underscores the importance of critical thinking and trust in reliable sources, while also addressing controversies surrounding vaccine mandates and mask effectiveness, emphasizing scientific evidence and expert consensus.

 


 
This book stands out by directly comparing scientific facts with popular myths in an accessible manner. Each chapter presents a common misconception, followed by a detailed explanation of the scientific evidence that refutes it. This approach makes complex information understandable and memorable, fostering scientific literacy and empowering readers to navigate current and future health challenges effectively.

    How can I best support the needs of my neurodivergent clients in therapy? With so much information, and so many different perspectives, it can be difficult to know where to start. Further, the mental health field has only recently begun moving away from "treating autism" to working with autistic and neurodivergent individuals in a more affirming way. That's why Dr. Amy Marschall created A Clinician's Guide to Supporting Autistic Clients. As an expert psychologist and a member of the autism community herself, she recognized the need to move away from treatments that pathologize differences and toward a neurodiversity-affirming approach that meets clients where they are. Inside, you'll find over 100 affirming tips, tools, and interventions that will allow you to: 
     
     
     
    ● Honor the language preferences, goals, and priorities of the autistic community 
     
     
     
    ● Create a foundation for assessment and treatment that best supports autistic clients 
     
     
     
    ● Correct unintentional harms cause by historical "best practices" in autism treatment 
     
     
     
    Neurodiversity-affirming care is not a set of specific behaviors or interventions but an underlying philosophy of honoring each client's needs every day.

    Why People Die by Suicide

    In the wake of a suicide, the most troubling questions are the most difficult to answer: How could we have known? What could we have done? And always: Why? Written by a clinical psychologist whose own life has been touched by suicide, this book offers the clearest account ever given of why some people choose to die. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on clinical and epidemiological evidence, as well as personal experience, Thomas Joiner brings a comprehensive understanding to seemingly incomprehensible behavior. Among the many people who have considered, attempted, or died by suicide, he finds three factors that mark those most at risk of death: the feeling of being a burden on loved ones; the sense of isolation; and, chillingly, the learned ability to hurt oneself. Joiner tests his theory against diverse facts taken from clinical anecdotes, history, literature, popular culture, anthropology, epidemiology, genetics, and neurobiology—facts about suicide rates among men and women; white and African-American men; anorexics, athletes, prostitutes, and physicians; members of cults, sports fans, and citizens of nations in crisis. The result is the most coherent and persuasive explanation ever given of why and how people overcome life's strongest instinct, self-preservation. Joiner's is a work that makes sense of the bewildering array of statistics and stories surrounding suicidal behavior.

    About the Expert 
    Randal Schaffer’s tastes were turned in the direction of horror with the first film that he saw at the age of four, The Pit and the Pendulum with Vincent Price. The first story that he “wrote” using comic-strip style panels was about a mad scientist who creates a giant moth-man who then bit his head off. As an early reader, Randal began devouring H. P. Lovecraft and E. A. Poe in grade school, moving on to Stephen King and Clive Barker. He is writing his own series called “Shivers: Tales of Erotic Nightmare”. The first of these, Going All the Way is currently on Amazon, to be followed soon by book 2, Lady Frankenstein’s Lover.
