Sex, lies, and menopause

T. S. Wiley, Julie Taguchi, Bent Formby

blockqouteTurning thirty years of medical and cultural wisdom on its head, Sex, Lies, and Menopause challenges both the medical establishment and modern feminists to prove that menopause does not have to be deadly./blockquote In this revolutionary work -- a landmark that signals the true beginning of feminist medicine -- a doctor, a philosopher, and a scientist prove that by postponing marriage and motherhood, women have accelerated the aging process, resulting in earlier menopause and, ultimately for thousands, earlier death. In Sex, Lies, and Menopause, T. S. Wiley, Julie Taguchi, M.D., and Bent Formby, Ph.D., offer strong evidence that the use of synthetic hormones leads to cancer and advise women to turn to natural hormone-replacement therapy -- derived from plants, not drugs -- to help them elevate their estrogen level for greater energy, libido, and intellectual capacity. Provocative, empowering, and scientifically sound, Sex, Lies, and Menopause addresses the inherent benefits of natural progesterone, reveals the lies advanced by the medical and drug establishments, and challenges women to demand a medical future where their health comes first. The research presented in Sex, Lies, and Menopause will at last allow women to create their own plan of action to put themselves safely on the path to better health and hormonal balance at any stage of life.

Anxiety and Personality

Karl Koenig

Karl König's "Anxiety and Personality" explores the intricate relationship between anxiety and an individual's core personality structure, drawing on neuropsychological insights and psychoanalytic theory. The work delves into the physiological underpinnings of phobias and anxieties, presenting a comprehensive framework for understanding their development and manifestation. König outlines therapeutic approaches that address both the symptomatic expressions of anxiety and the deeper personality dynamics that contribute to its persistence.

Abandonment Neurosis

Germaine Guex, Peter D. Douglas

Germaine Guex's "Abandonment Neurosis" explores the profound impact of early parental deprivation on the development of psychological distress, particularly anxiety and neurotic disorders. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory, the book details how unmet needs for consistent affection and security in infancy can manifest as persistent fears of abandonment and difficulties in forming stable relationships. Guex argues that these early experiences lay the groundwork for later neurotic and even psychotic disturbances, highlighting the critical role of maternal and paternal presence in fostering a secure sense of self.
