New: Growing Old: A Journey of Self-Discovery
Psychoanalyst Danielle Quinodoz highlights the value of old age and the fact that although many elderly people have suffered losses, either of their own good health or through bereavement, most have managed to retain the most important thing — their sense of self.
Quinodoz argues that growing old provides us with the opportunity to learn more about ourselves, and instead of facing it with dread, it should be celebrated.
New: Memory Rehabilitation: Integrating Theory and Practice
"Who else but Barbara Wilson, the world's leading expert on memory rehabilitation, could have written a book like this?
Flowing easily between research findings, clinical anecdotes, and practical treatment recommendations, the book never loses sight of the real-life consequences of memory loss.
In an age when war has made traumatic brain injury tragically familiar, Wilson explains the complex ways in which memory processing is prone to failure in this and other nonprogressive brain disorders, and shows how everyday functioning can be improved by rehabilitation techniques that focus on compensation and coping." - Myrna F. Schwartz, Associate Director, Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute, Philadelphia
