Book excerpt: Approximately one or two percent of children and teenagers will suffer from this disorder. It is a hidden problem and few of those who have it will admit to symptoms, preferring to suffer in silence. It can cause misunderstanding and disruption for a child and for the child's family. Much of the suffering is due to lack of knowledge and delay in getting help. In The Secret Problem, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is explained in clear and simple language. Cartoons are used to help children, teenagers, and their parents understand the problem and its treatment. The book identifies OCD as a biological problem and clearly describes how the individual and the family are not to blame for it. Of course, like many biological problems that cause psychological distress and painful changes in behaviour, secondary psychological processes often multiply the difficulties and increase suffering. Any family with a distressed child needs knowledge and coping skills that will heal rather than promote the problem. That is the aim of The Secret Problem. In the book, the forces driving the OCD are presented as an ocdopus-an unpleasant kind of octopus that hangs around making demands for perfection and instils terrible doubts into the mind of a child. Thinking about and fighting the ocdopus makes it easier for a child to share fears, obsessions, and compulsions and, with family help, work to banish that troublesome and slimy creature. Both the author and illustrator of The Secret Problem are consultant psychiatrists and know very well how modern treatments for OCD can provide great relief and open opportunities for very good recovery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obsessive-compulsive disorder has been called the "hidden epidemic": only a very few of the many people who have it reveal their condition. Ian Osborn is one of those who suffers from OCD, and his personal experience imbues this book with an exceptional clarity and understanding. Dr. Osborn discusses the various forms OCD takes and--using the most common focuses of obsession--presents detailed and dramatic cases whose objects are filth, harm, lust, and blasphemy. He explains how the disorder is currently diagnosed, and how it differs from addiction, worrying, and preoccupation. He summarizes the recent findings in the areas of brain biology, neuroimaging, and genetics that show OCD to be a distinct chemical disorder of the brain. He contrasts OCD with other "OCD spectrum disorders" such as anorexia nervosa and hairpulling, and he provides a historical overview that traces the development over the centuries of both behavior therapy and medications.

Download or read book Waste written by Catherine Coleman Flowers and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The MacArthur grant–winning environmental justice activist’s riveting memoir of a life fighting for a cleaner future for America’s most vulnerable A Smithsonian Magazine Top Ten Best Science Book of 2020 Catherine Coleman Flowers, a 2020 MacArthur “genius,” grew up in Lowndes County, Alabama, a place that’s been called “Bloody Lowndes” because of its violent, racist history. Once the epicenter of the voting rights struggle, today it’s Ground Zero for a new movement that is also Flowers’s life’s work—a fight to ensure human dignity through a right most Americans take for granted: basic sanitation. Too many people, especially the rural poor, lack an affordable means of disposing cleanly of the waste from their toilets and, as a consequence, live amid filth. Flowers calls this America’s dirty secret. In this “powerful and moving book” (Booklist), she tells the story of systemic class, racial, and geographic prejudice that foster Third World conditions not just in Alabama, but across America, in Appalachia, Central California, coastal Florida, Alaska, the urban Midwest, and on Native American reservations in the West. In this inspiring story of the evolution of an activist, from country girl to student civil rights organizer to environmental justice champion at Bryan Stevenson’s Equal Justice Initiative, Flowers shows how sanitation is becoming too big a problem to ignore as climate change brings sewage to more backyards—not only those of poor minorities.
