Peace from nervous suffering

by Claire Weekes

Published 1972

Claire Weekes' "Peace from Nervous Suffering" offers a practical approach to overcoming anxiety and phobic disorders by reframing the experience of nervous suffering. She explains that the physical and emotional symptoms of anxiety are not dangerous but rather the body's natural alarm system overreacting. The book emphasizes acceptance and gentle exposure to feared situations as key strategies for reducing the intensity of these symptoms and regaining a sense of control.

Cover of Anxiety and Mood Disorders Following Traumatic Brain Injury

Anxiety and Mood Disorders Following Traumatic Brain Injury

Rudi Coetzer

While there are many excellent texts addressing cognitive impairment and behavioural difficulties and on rehabilitation associated with traumatic brain injury, few textbooks specifically address the most common emotional problems that can have such an adverse effect on rehabilitation and outcome. Uniquely this book deals exclusively with the identification and psychotherapeutic management of mood and anxiety disorders after traumatic brain injury. Furthermore, a systematic approach to identifying and diagnosing anxiety and mood disorders is followed throughout the text. As well as providing an introduction to anxiety and mood disorders after traumatic brain injury, it provides a psychological perspective on their evolution and management. It is aimed at a range of professionals in training (or those responsible for providing training in psychopathology, neuropsychology and psychotherapy), as well as those who may have an interest in working with the type of patients with anxiety or depression, commonly seen in post-acute brain injury rehabilitation settings. Case studies, summaries and suggested references for further reading are used throughout to facilitate understanding and teaching where relevant.

Cover of The courage to be

The courage to be

Paul Tillich

In "The Courage to Be," Paul Tillich explores the existential struggle of human beings faced with anxiety and despair in a contemporary world. Written in a compelling prose that intertwines philosophy and theology, Tillich employs a rich tapestry of literary allusions and personal insights to articulate his exploration of courage as a means of affirming one's existence. The book is rooted in the context of post-World War II existential thought, addressing the profound disillusionment of an era while arguing that true courage arises from the confrontation with one's own limitations and the acceptance of the inherent uncertainties of life. Paul Tillich, a noted philosopher and theologian, significantly influenced 20th-century thought with his synthesis of existentialism and Christian philosophy. His own experiences as a refugee and his deep engagement with the crises of modern life led him to emphasize the importance of courage in the face of ultimate concerns. Tillich's rich academic background, including his involvement with various religious and philosophical communities, enriches the text with depth and relevance. I highly recommend "The Courage to Be" to readers seeking an insightful examination of courage in the context of anxiety and faith. Its profound insights and philosophical rigor not only resonate with personal struggles but also encourage a thoughtful engagement with life's existential questions. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - A succinct Introduction situates the work's timeless appeal and themes. - The Synopsis outlines the central plot, highlighting key developments without spoiling critical twists. - A detailed Historical Context immerses you in the era's events and influences that shaped the writing. - A thorough Analysis dissects symbols, motifs, and character arcs to unearth underlying meanings. - Reflection questions prompt you to engage personally with the work's messages, connecting

Cover of Blink

Blink

Malcolm Gladwell

Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology and displaying all of the brilliance that made The Tipping Point a classic, Blink changes the way you'll understand every decision you make. Never again will you think about thinking the same way. Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant - in the blink of an eye - that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work - in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others? In Blink we meet the psychologist who has learned to predict whether a marriage will last, based on a few minutes of observing a couple; the tennis coach who knows when a player will double-fault before the racket even makes contact with the ball; the antiquities experts who recognize a fake at a glance. Here, too, are great failures of "blink": the election of Warren Harding; "New Coke"; and the shooting of Amadou Diallo by police. Blink reveals that great decision makers aren't those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of "thin-slicing" - filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology and displaying all of the brilliance that made The Tipping Point a classic, Blink changes the way you understand every decision you make. Never again will you think about thinking the same way.
