Download or read book Pills Skills and Will written by Stephen Luce Jr. and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2022-02-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My psychologist, Dr. J. Mark Pratt, says “What you do most is what you do best.” Certainly, full-time paid employment takes up most of my time, and I am so grateful for that. Coming in close second, however, is mental health treatment. Appointments with psychiatrists/psychologists, mental health support groups, obtaining required blood work from the lab, filling pharmacy prescriptions, going to church, reading literature, and praying/meditating. Also common is doing volunteer work, helping friends and family with tasks, and listening to them when they are troubled. These activities give me positive thoughts that I am contributing to society and help keep me away from the negativity that has been a hallmark of my mental illness. Thus it has become a life that I truly believe is one worth living. In the early stages of recovery (the late 1990s) I did not share this view. But I survived those tumultuous days and have now entered into an expansive place where peace, even joy, is a common experience. The psychiatric and psychological treatments that have made this possible cost my mom, Gwen, a lot of money. Although, I have been able to remove this burden from her more recently. It occurred to me that if I could write a book delineating the various aspects of my treatment program, I could share these helpful concepts with others, virtually for free. That is the spirit in which this book is published, and I hope you can utilize it for increased mental health and well-being!
Download or read book Skills That Pills Can t Give You written by Judy Cook MD and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2019-01-28 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are like the majority of humans whose emotions sometimes cause you serious distress - or worse - and you would like to take better control of that, you will want to read this book. Forty years of treating ‘real world’ psychiatric patients, in addition to her own therapeutic journey, taught Dr. Judy to recognize several basic issues that affect the peace of mind and self-esteem of billions of people and can create great distress or even lead to full blown mental illness. By gaining some of those insights yourself and learning some of the skills taught in this book you can do a lot to improve not only your mental health, but also the physical health of yourself, your loved ones and others around you. Emotions are as much a part of your life as your heartbeat, yet too many people are encouraged to be ashamed of feelings and emotional problems and if you can’t ignore them, to cover them up with medication. You may spend your time blaming yourself for problems you didn’t actually cause. Of course, you might also have been taught to believe that if those other people would just fix themselves, you would be ok. Unfortunately that not only doesn’t work, but could consume a lot of your time and energy. However, learning new ways to understand and deal with those issues will allow you to take charge of handling them in a positive and productive fashion so you no longer have problems with them. Your more positive skills might even rub off on others, which is a real win for everyone. Here’s to starting your newer, happier, healthier life.
Download or read book The N D D Book written by William Sears and published by Little, Brown Spark. This book was released on 2009-04-29 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sears Parenting Library's latest addition is an exploration of how nutrition affects the brains and behavior of youngsters. N.D.D., or Nutrition Deficit Disorder, as coined by Dr. Bill Sears, is based on the idea that if "you put junk food into a child's brain, you get back junk behavior and learning." Dr. Sears will explore the latest scientific research on the effects of nutrition on the brain. He will present case studies of his own patients who were diagnosed as "N.D.D." and showed major improvement in learning and behavior with diet change. Instead of simply medicating his patients, Dr. Sears looked for a better solution -- in fact, with better nutrition, many of his patients were able to greatly reduce or even stop their medication. The book will also provide parents with a prescription, shopping and meal tips, and recipes to make implementing a healthier lifestyle that much easier. The N.D.D. Book will be a must-have for all parents who want to help their children become healthier, happier, and better prepared to learn.

Book excerpt: Newly updated to reflect the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process, Fourth Edition (OTPF-4), Occupational and Activity Analysis, Third Edition outlines the process of conducting occupational and activity analyses for occupational therapy students and clinicians.

Conducting either an occupational or activity analysis investigates not only what is required for full participation but also looks at the meaning ascribed to it by the people, groups, or communities engaging in it and how personal and environmental contexts impact participation. What’s new and included in the Third Edition: Chapters throughout the text have been updated to reflect the changes in the OTPF-4. Updated educational standards set by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) for doctoral and master’s level and occupational therapy assistant programs.
