With the newest information on how genetic factors and pre-existing conditions can contribute to PPD, Conquering Postpartum Depression is the book that new mothers and even doctors reach to for authoritative and reassuring counsel.
Conquistador of the Useless
by Joshua IsardJoshua Isard's debut novel is a hoot. Our hero Nathan Wavelsky moves into the burbs with his wife. Life is good. He's a successful slacker. He doesn't want to rock the boat. His definition of a good time is listening to his favorite bands on his iPod and staring at the grass and the poplar trees in his backyard. As a mid-level corporate manager, he does what his bosses tell him. If they want somebody fired, he fires them. No questions asked. But the boat does start to rock. He innocently gives a copy of Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle to a teenage girl and his neighbors are righteously appalled. His wife's hormones start to tango and now she wants a baby. Sure, he enjoys sex, but that doesn't mean he wants a baby in the house. Worse, his best friend wants him to climb Mount Everest. Nathan likes the solitude of camping and hiking, but climbing in the Himalayas? He could die, for God's sake. He just wants to be left alone. But no chance. Shit begins to happen.Joshua Isard developed and is the director of Arcadia University's low-residency MFA Creative Writing program. Since the program is high tech and has a study abroad component, it gives him a chance to enjoy two of his favorite things at work: travel and Apple products. His short stories have appeared in numerous magazines and in the anthologies The Lie of the Land and Outlandish Affairs. He lives outside Philadelphia with his wife and two cats.
Conrad & Eleanor: A Novel
by Jane RogersFrom the multi-award-winning and critically acclaimed author of The Testament of Jessie Lamb comes this riveting novel about the devastating secrets revealed in the midst of a disintegrating marriage.The story of a marriage, and of two lives in science.When Conrad fails to return from a conference, Eleanor wonders if it is because of the affair she is having? Or perhaps it is because his research into transgenic monkey hearts is stalling; perhaps he is sick of having the less successful career of the two of them? She is a leading expert in stem cell research. Their grown-up children suspect Eleanor of murdering their father; El secretly fears that what has driven Con away is his discovery of their daughter Cara's parentage.While his family in Manchester, England, scrabble for clues and reasons, Conrad--alone, confused, and on the run from a crazed animal rights activist--loses himself in the cold foggy streets of Bologna. He revisits the stages of his long marriage to El, from the happiness of the year of Cara's birth to the grief and anger he now feels. Both partners are forced to re-examine their relationship, and, in the process, to move closer to an understanding of what it is that matters most to each of them.Conrad and Eleanor is a radical, remarkably nuanced look at marriage.

Consejos prácticos de entrenamiento para dejar el pañal para mamás ocupadas
by Daniela Kinsella Paola PantaleonEste libro está lleno de consejos que te ayudarán en tu travesía única de entrenamiento a tus hijos para dejar el pañal. Cuando tenía seis niños, todos de seis años o menos, solía preguntarme cómo pasaría a través de esa etapa sin volverme loca. Era cansado y desafiante. Recuerdo amigos diciéndome que pasaría rápidamente, y que lo extrañaría algún día. Aún no puedo decir que lo extraño, dado que el menor de mis ocho hijos apenas tiene dos años, pero ciertamente pasó más rápido de lo que pensé, aun cuando en ese entonces sentía que iba a durar para siempre. Ahora tengo un adolescente y un pre adolescente junto con otras edades interesantes entre nuestros ocho hijos. He entrado en una nueva etapa de mi vida ya que Lucy (la menor) está en el proceso de utilizar el baño por sí misma. Esta semana me di cuenta de que he estado cambiando pañales por más de trece años. Estoy tan lista para cerrar ese capítulo de mi vida de maternidad, especialmente porque mis dos hijos mayores han entrado en una nueva etapa de sus vidas que de muchas maneras es bastante más desafiante que cualquier reto de la niñez que pueda haber enfrentado con ellos, así que estoy realmente emocionada de comenzar esta nueva travesía hacia los años de adolescencia. Recuerdo que solía leer libros de crianza de los hijos en las etapas tempranas de mi vida materna y me preguntaba si esos escritores tenían alguna idea de cómo era tener una vida como la mía. Muchas veces, me sentí sola y malentendida. Yo quería leer un libro escrito por alguien como yo. ¡Un libro real! No soy escritora y no he hecho mucha investigación al respecto del entrenamiento para dejar el pañal. Este libro es un pequeño aliento para los padres o tutores que están en esta etapa de su camino y que muchas veces no tienen idea de si van a tener éxito o no. Lee este panfleto con el corazón abierto, lo puedes

by Jade LoganThis essential text explores the intersectionality of the self in therapeutic practice, bringing together theoretical foundations and practical implications to provide clear guidance for students and practitioners. Bringing together a collection of insightful and experienced clinicians, this book examines the ways in which intersectionality influences all phases of clinical and supervisory work, from outreach, assessment, and through to termination.

Engaging, informative, and practical, this book is essential reading for students, supervisors, family, marriage, and couple therapists, and clinical social workers who want to work confidently with a range of clients, as well as clinical professionals interested in the role of intersectionality in their work.
