Book SynopsisA BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEKWhen the First World War broke out, the suffragettes suspended their campaigning and joined the war effort. For pioneering suffragette doctors (and life partners) Flora Murray and Louisa Garrett Anderson that meant moving to France, where they set up two small military hospitals amidst fierce opposition. Yet their medical and organisational skills were so impressive that in 1915 Flora and Louisa were asked by the War Ministry to return to London and establish a new military hospital in a vast and derelict old workhouse in Covent Garden's Endell Street. That they did, creating a 573-bed hospital staffed from top to bottom by female surgeons, doctors and nurses, and developing entirely new techniques to deal with the horrific mortar and gas injuries suffered by British soldiers. Receiving 26,000 wounded men over the next four years, Flora and Louisa created such a caring atmosphere that soldiers begged to be sent to Endell Street. And then, following the end of the war and the Spanish Flu outbreak, the hospital was closed and Flora, Louisa and their staff were once again sidelined in the medical profession.The story of Endell Street provides both a keyhole view into the horrors and thrills of wartime London and a long-overdue tribute to the brilliance and bravery of an extraordinary group of women.Trade ReviewThis is the best book I've read about the First World War since Vera Brittain's Testament of Youth...With her impressively focused research and eye for human detail, Wendy Moore has produced an unforgettable microcosm...this fascinating book is a microcosm of early 20th-century Britain at its very best - and its very worst. -- Ysenda Maxtone Graham * The Times *Rarely is a book so important, so timely...vividly and meticulously written, Endell Street is a masterpiece to stretcher straight into a major film studio...[an] unmissable, thrilling read. -- Philippa Stockley * Evening Standard *Fascinating, carefully researched... Moore is superb at describing the medical advances that resulted in seven research papers by Endell Street doctors being published in The Lancet, among the first ever by women. * Guardian *Moore has scoured archives and diaries to produce a meticulously researched history of this extraordinary institution.... By writing this splendid book, Moore has ensured that the efforts of these pioneering women will never be forgotten. * Literary Review *Meticulously researched, written with élan and wit, Moore's account comes at just the right time... [it] reminds us that people can rise to an occasion, that the biggest advances - for medicine, for humanity - can come during the toughest times, as a result of the toughest times. It reminds us that great courage and great ingenuity are possible even when the world feels very dark. * New York Times *Informative, compelling and poignant, Endell Street is a forgotten story superbly told. * Times Literary Supplement *An absorbing and powerful narrative...Moore has an eye for detail that brings her story to life. * Wall Street Journal *Endell Street is an absolute delight. Wendy Moore has performed an incredible feat of historical detective work, and the result is a gripping account of courage and determination in the face of death. It is impossible not to love the suffragette surgeons as they fought for the wounded abroad and for women's rights at home. -- Amanda ForemanHow can a spectacular story like Endell Street just disappear? Luckily for us, it fell into the hands of one of our finest biographers. Wendy Moore's rich storyteller's voice has brought back the lives and achievements of these brave and brilliant women. -- Andrea Wulf, author of THE INVENTION OF NATUREThe story of the extraordinary women who ran the 'Suffragettes' Hospital' is visceral, timely, urgent and spellbinding. Wendy Moore's book is utterly involving and deeply thought-provoking, and all I can do is urge you to read it. -- Helen CastorFew authors write as colourfully and compellingly about the past as Wendy Moore. In her deft hands, the horrors of the First World War and the heroic efforts of the suffragette surgeons are conjured back to life. Meticulously researched and beautifully executed, Endell Street is an important book that shows Moore to be the masterful storyteller that she is. -- Lindsey Fitzharris, author of THE BUTCHERING ARTEndell Street is an extraordinary story, and beautifully told. -- Anita AnandTable of Contents1: A Good Feeling 2: A Sort of Holiday 3: Sunshine and Sweetness 4: Good God!

Book SynopsisHas your romantic partner called you clingy, insecure, desperate, or jealous? No one wants to admit that they possess these qualities; but if you find yourself constantly on the alert, anxious, or worried when it comes to your significant other, you may suffer from anxious attachment, a fear of abandonment that is often rooted in early childhood experiences.In Freeing Your Love From Insecurity, you'll learn how to overcome attachment anxiety using compassionate self-awareness, a technique that can help you recognize your negative thoughts or unhealthy behavior patterns and respond to them in a nurturing way—rather than beating yourself up. You’ll also learn how insecurity can negatively affect healthy dialog between you and your partner (or potential partners) and develop the skills needed to stop you from reverting back to old patterns of neediness and possessiveness.If you suffer from anxious attachment, you probably know that you need to change, and yet you have remained stuck. With compassionate self-awareness, you can successfully explore old anxiety perpetuating perceptions and habits without being overwhelmed or paralyzed by them. By understanding the psychological factors at the root of your attachment anxiety, you will learn to cultivate secure, healthy relationships to last a lifetime.If you’re ready to stop getting stuck in the same hurtful relationship patterns and finally break the cycle of heartache, this book can show you how to get the love you deserve—and keep it!

Book SynopsisAtheism is an erudite and open-ended exploration of profound questions of estrangement, death, suicide, and the infinite that demonstrates the range and the provocative power of Alexandre Kojève’s thought.Trade ReviewKojève is a riddle, his Russian roots eclipsed by his legendary role as explicator of German idealism to French intellectuals in the 1930s. This splendid translation of his erudite, eccentric 1931 text reveals him taking on the most Dostoevskian of questions with all the wisdom of Western Europe at his back. What is our relation to what is outside the world? Here is an inquiry into atheistic anthropology that would have thrilled Heidegger himself. -- Caryl Emerson, Princeton UniversityAlexandre Kojève became famous and influential primarily because of his seminar on Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit that was given in Paris between the years 1933 and 1939. This seminar was regularly attended by leading figures of the French intellectual life of that time such as Georges Bataille and Jacques Lacan. Kojève's earlier book Atheism is a brilliant analysis of the relationship between faith and atheism that offers invaluable insights on the formation of Kojeve’s thought but also remains important in our time. -- Boris Groys, author of Under Suspicion: A Phenomenology of MediaAlexandre Kojève's philosophical novella on the stakes of atheism for his time is the most significant work of his early career. It is key to understanding his famous Hegel lectures, his attempt to outdo Heidegger, and his idiosyncratic early politics that mixed hopes of radical transformation with a deep pessimism. Thanks to Jeff Love's translation, we can open up anew those philosophical movements of interwar France, including phenomenology and existentialism, which Kojève would so profoundly affect. -- Stefanos Geroulanos, New York UniversityIn Jeff Love's careful translation, this difficult text exudes the irresistible attraction of Kojève's philosophical prose. Written a couple of years before his famous lectures on Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, this essay already displays Kojève's signature combination of intellectual depth, probity, and radicalism. -- Galin Tihanov, George Steiner Professor of Comparative Literature, Queen Mary University of LondonKojève’s text is intriguing and suggestive in its ideas as well as in its genre. -- Clare Carlisle * Times Literary Supplement *I found it most enlightening and asking questions that lie underneath the surface that is usually not scratched by other atheist philosophers. * Scene Point Blank *This book is dense and very rewarding for those who approach it patiently. * Choice *We are glad to have this profound essay to stimulate our thinking on theism, atheism, and mortality, and to give us further insight into the breadth of Kojeve's inquiries. * Review of Metaphysics *Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction: Atheism and PoliticsTranslator’s NoteAtheismNotesIndex

Book SynopsisNow in a revised and expanded sixth edition, this is the leading text on evidence-based treatments for frequently encountered mental health problems. David H. Barlow has assembled preeminent experts to present their respective approaches in step-by-step detail, including extended case examples. Each chapter provides state-of-the-art information on the disorder at hand, explains the conceptual and empirical bases of intervention, and addresses the most pressing question asked by students and practitioners--How do I do it? Concise chapter introductions from Barlow highlight the unique features of each treatment and enhance the book's utility for teaching and training. New to This Edition *Existing chapters thoroughly revised to incorporate the latest empirical findings and clinical practices. *Chapter on âœprocess-based therapy,â a new third-wave approach for social anxiety. *Chapter on transdiagnostic treatment of self-injurious thoughts and behaviors. *ChapteTrade Review"The sixth edition of Barlow's handbook is an essential resource for anyone wanting a deep dive into the latest developments in evidence-based practice for a wide variety of clinical concerns. Twenty-five years after formalizing the evidence-based practice movement within clinical psychology, Barlow has once again masterfully curated an up-to-date reference written by the field's leading clinical scientists. The sixth edition offers fresh insights, critical advances, and rich examples. Whether you are a graduate student, a clinical researcher, or a seasoned practitioner, this book should always be within arm's reach."--Bruce F. Chorpita, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of California, Los Angeles; President, PracticeWise "I have used this valuable text in my graduate classes since the first edition was published in 1985. Chapters present concise summaries of the theory and empirical evidence for the respective interventions, along with insightful explanations of how they are conducted. With the sixth edition, Barlow has again provided a rare gem that helps students and practicing clinicians understand how evidence-based treatments are actually implemented with clients. The book includes updated chapters on well-established approaches presented in previous editions, as well as more recent developments, such as process-based therapy and the transdiagnostic treatment of self-injurious thoughts and behaviors."--Leonard A. Doerfler, PhD, Professor and Director, Clinical Counseling Psychology Program, Assumption University "A marvelous presentation of the latest and most clinically applicable evidence-based practices, including cognitive, behavioral, and interpersonal approaches. Revised and new chapters are written by the best and brightest in the field, including many of those who developed the respective interventions. The sixth edition of the Handbook is suitable for both students in training and experienced practitioners who want to burnish their clinical skills. There is no better collection that highlights how the field developed, where it currently is, and where it is going to be in the future. I could not recommend it more strongly."--Steven D. Hollon, PhD, Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Professor of Psychology, Vanderbilt University "In its sixth edition, this handbook continues to be the single best teaching text on evidence-based practices in mental health. I use this book as a primary text and resource in my Advanced Clinical Practice class and my students rarely resell it--they take it with them when they graduate to save as a clinical reference. The chapter organization makes the book ideal for teaching beginning clinicians. Having a regularly revised text that navigates this increasingly sophisticated and complex terrain makes both the students and me feel like we have a partner in their learning."--André Ivanoff, PhD, Columbia University School of Social Work "Since its initial publication, this handbook has been the single most important volume on evidence-based psychotherapy. For the sixth edition, as in prior editions, Barlow has assembled eminent contributors who are expert practitioners of the therapies they discuss. Each chapter features a review of the evidential basis for the therapy, a description of its implementation, and a detailed clinical illustration. The authors skillfully demonstrate the flexible application of our most efficacious protocols as they merge clinical wisdom and the best psychological science. Essential reading for all mental health professionals, this is the ideal text for graduate psychotherapy courses, and the one we have always used in Harvard's clinical psychology program."--Richard J. McNally, PhD, Professor and Director of Clinical Training, Department of Psychology, Harvard University-This book is excellent. Written by well-known experts, it covers many different DSM-5 disorders and problems, providing a step-by-step approach to treatment. The sixth edition justifies replacing the fifth because new research is released daily revealing new evidence-based treatments, as reflected by the updated content in this edition. Clinicians and researchers will not be disappointed by this volume….*****!--Doody's Review Service, 02/18/2022ƒƒThe Clinical Handbook succeeds in offering its readers procedures for assessment, case formulation, treatment planning, and intervention strategies and techniques. Clinical vignettes and transcripts populate the pages, which serve to exhibit the integration of theory, empiricism, and real-world practice. These clinical illustrations further demonstrate how proficient use of evidence-based practices involves the principled application of techniques individualized to meet patients' needs instead of rigid adherence to manualized treatments. This realistic portrayal of the skill required to render treatments effectively is refreshing….A very well-written and easy to use textbook. As a reference resource, it will serve students and therapists like a favorite cookbook…as they return to seek clinical recipes that will help them better serve their patients. (on the fifth edition)--Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 08/01/2015ƒƒAn outstanding revision. Each chapter is well organized, and includes a comprehensive range of information. This handbook is a helpful resource for keeping mental health professionals and students up to date on the latest research and advances in evidence-based treatments for commonly encountered psychological disorders. (on the fifth edition)--Journal of Psychiatric Practice, 07/01/2015ƒƒAn indispensable guide replete with clinical tools for new and seasoned clinicians, as well as an excellent teaching resource….The authors, all distinguished scholars and clinical investigators, have addressed a wide range of psychological disorders in a rigorous and empirical manner, skillfully translating what is known about them, from theory and precisely executed research to clinical application.…An exceptional resource for clinicians and should be required reading for all in mental health training programs. It has surpassed its stated objectives to provide state-of-the-art scientific knowledge, present empirically tested effective therapies, and teach clinicians how to implement these treatments in a step-by-step manner, helping them achieve the goal that every mental health professional seeks to achieve, that is, to alleviate psychological pain and enable every client to live a more gratifying and fulfilling life.
