Families in Troubled Times

Adapting to Change in Rural America

By: Glen Holl Elder

The turbulent decade of the 1980s began with financial calamity in several sectors of the United States economy, from automaking to agriculture. The rural Midwest experienced its worst economic decline since the Depression years. Thousands of farmers lost their operations, and the small rural communities that serve agriculture often changed from prosperous business centers to struggling villages with many empty buildings and boarded-up storefronts along their main streets. Families in Troubled Times examines the plight of several hundred rural families who have lived through these difficult years. The participants in the Iowa Youth and Families Project, the subjects of the present study, include farmers, people from small towns, and those who lost farms and other businesses as a result of the "farm crisis." The book traces the influence of economic hardship on the emotions, behavior, and relationships of parents, children, siblings, husbands, and wives. The results of the study show that although economic stress has a powerful adverse effect on individuals and families, countervailing social influence can help to blunt these negative processes and to assist in the repair of the personal and interpersonal damage they produce.

Neurodevelopment in the Post-Pandemic World

The Altered Trajectory of Children's Education, Mental Health, and Brain Development

By: Molly Colvin,Jennifer Linton Reesman,Tannahill Glen

It's now clear that school closures during the pandemic wreaked havoc on learning for youth, with the greatest harm shouldered by our most vulnerable students. The book discusses how psychosocial and educational disruption was so profound we believe it has actually altered brain development trajectories for a generation. It will impact everything from future GDP to use of existing pre-COVID norms for any testing, to dementia or learning disability diagnosis and even the civil and criminal courtroom.

Psychodynamic Psychiatry in Clinical Practice

By: Glen O. Gabbard

It is difficult to improve on a classic, but the fifth edition of Psychodynamic Psychiatry in Clinical Practice does just that, offering the updates readers expect with a deft reorganization that integrates DSM-5® with the author's emphasis on psychodynamic thinking. The individual patient is never sacrificed to the diagnostic category, yet clinicians will find the guidance they need to apply DSM-5® appropriately. Each chapter has been systematically updated to reflect the myriad and manifold changes in the 9 years since the previous edition's publication. All 19 chapters have new references and cutting-edge material that will prepare psychiatrists and residents to treat patients with compassion and skill. The book offers the following features: Each chapter integrates new neurobiological findings with psychodynamic understanding so that clinicians can approach their patients with a truly biopsychosocial treatment plan. Excellent writing and an intuitive structure make complicated psychodynamic concepts easy to understand so that readers can grasp the practical application of theory in everyday practice. The book links clinical understanding to the new DSM-5® nomenclature so that clinicians and trainees can adapt psychodynamic thinking to the new conceptual models of disorders. New coverage of psychodynamic thinking with relation to the treatment of patients on the autism spectrum addresses an increasingly important practice area. Posttraumatic stress and dissociative disorders have been combined to allow for integrated coverage of primary psychiatric disorders related to trauma and stressors. A boon to clinicians in training and practice, the book has been meticulously edited and grounded in the latest research. The author firmly believes that clinicians must not lose the complexities of the person in the process of helping the patient. Psychodynamic Psychiatry in Clinical Practice, Fifth Edition, keeps this approach front and center as it engages, instructs, and exhorts the reader in the thoughtful, humane practice of psychodynamic psychiatry.

Introduction to Mathematical Finance

Introduction to Mathematical Finance

By: David C. Heath Glen Swindle

The foundation for the subject of mathematical finance was laid nearly 100 years ago by Bachelier in his fundamental work, Theorie de la speculation. In this work, he provided the first treatment of Brownian motion. Since then, the research of Markowitz, and then of Black, Merton, Scholes, and Samuelson brought remarkable and important strides in the field. A few years later, Harrison and Kreps demonstrated the fundamental role of martingales and stochastic analysis in constructing and understanding models for financial markets. The connection opened the door for a flood of mathematical developments and growth. Concurrently with these mathematical advances, markets have grown, and developments in both academia and industry continue to expand. This lively activity inspired an AMS Short Course at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Diego (CA). The present volume includes the written results of that course. Articles are featured by an impressive list of recognized researchers and practitioners. Their contributions present deep results, pose challenging questions, and suggest directions for future research. This collection offers compelling introductory articles on this new, exciting, and rapidly growing field.

Galen, De diebus decretoriis, from Greek into Arabic

A Critical Edition, with Translation and Commentary, of Hunayn ibn Ishaq, Kitab ayyam al-buhran

By: Glen M. Cooper

This volume presents the first edition of the Arabic translation, by Hunayn ibn Ishaq, of Galen's Critical Days (De diebus decretoriis), together with the first translation of the text into a modern language. The substantial introduction contextualizes the treatise within the Greek and Arabic traditions. Galen's Critical Days was a founding text of astrological medicine. In febrile illnesses, the critical days are the days on which an especially severe pattern of symptoms, a crisis, was likely to occur. The crisis was thought to expel the disease-producing substances from the body. If its precise timing were known, the physician could prepare the patient so that the crisis would be most beneficial. After identifying the critical days based on empirical data and showing how to use them in therapy, Galen explains the critical days via the moon's influence. In the historical introduction Glen Cooper discusses the translation of the Critical Days in Arabic, and adumbrates its possible significance in the intellectual debates and political rivalries among the 9th-century Baghdad elite. It is argued that Galen originally composed the Critical Days both to confound the Skeptics of his own day and to refute a purely mathematical, rationalist approach to science. These features made the text useful in the rivalries between Baghdad scholars. Al-Kindi (d.c. 866) famously propounded a mathematical approach to science akin to the latter. The scholar-bureaucrat responsible for funding this translation, Muhammad ibn Musa (d. 873), al-Kindi's nemesis, may have found the treatise useful in refuting that approach. The commentary and notes to the facing page translation address issues of translation, as well as important concepts.

299 Days: The 17th Irregulars

By: Glen Tate

In some ways, post-Collapse life at Pierce Point resembles the every day normalcy that Grant and others still hoped would return. The community is organized and humming along smoothly, the young guys on the Team are partnering off with local "Team Chicks," and Grant's daughter has found a boyfriend. For most, the new reality has been accepted and a calm, self-sustaining groove is setting in. For others, though, life is far from normal. Special Forces Ted returns with an offer that cannot be refused. In the blink of an eye, Grant Matson has another title he can add to father-of-the-year and prepper-in-chief: Lieutenant Grant Matson, Commander of the 17th Irregulars. Grant and the Team are whisked away to Marion Farm, where they will train civilians and be trained to become a special squad in a Special Forces guerrilla group. The slower, simple life at Pierce Point is about to disappear to make way for a community that is well-trained and battle-ready, posed to fight the Loyalist opposition. This cannot happen fast enough, though. Gangs are growing steadily and the government is becoming a bigger threat to freedom and the nation. Violence is turning into an everyday occurrence outside of Pierce Point and it is only a matter of time before the peaceful community will need to protect itself from external dangers. Grant feels the weight on his shoulders as he now needs to protect not just his family, but the entire community, and possibly, all of Washington State.

The Physician as Patient

A Clinical Handbook for Mental Health Professionals

By: Michael F. Myers,Glen O. Gabbard

Because physicians are shaped by the expectations and responsibilities of their profession and are especially susceptible to stress and illness, professionals treating them need to be attuned to a host of demands and considerations not applicable to other patients. The Physician as Patient meets that need by combining the perspectives of two seasoned psychiatrists who have been assessing and treating physicians for more than 30 years. Drs. Myers and Gabbard pool their career-long dedication to physician health, counseling, and risk management to demonstrate that, through accurate diagnosis and state-of-the-art treatment, most impaired physicians can recover and return to practice. As the most current sourcebook available on this subject, The Physician as Patient not only discusses common illnesses and problems seen in doctors but also outlines the many biopsychosocial treatments that are indicated -- always with an emphasis on integrated care. It considers such issues as the reluctance of physicians to assume the role of patient and the uniqueness of the physician's psychological makeup that facilitates or impedes diagnosis and treatment. It describes the most common medical and psychiatric illnesses in physicians -- including addictions -- and addresses personality disorders and the increasingly important subject of boundary violations. And it helps readers determine what can be done about doctors behaving badly or out-of-character, or what strategies are useful in treating physicians to assure accuracy while also diminishing morbidity and relieving suffering. Among other key issues raised are: The importance of considering sociocultural customs and values when treating the increasing number of minority and International Medical Graduate physicians Addressing the many clinical, humanistic, ethical, and legal dimensions of the psychiatric evaluation of physicians Distinguishing between long-standing patterns of personality disorders that manifest as disruptive behaviors and those patterns that lead to burnout and depression Assessing amenability to rehabilitation in cases of sexual boundary violation, including an awareness of alcohol or drug abuse as contributing factors Utilizing a physician's predisposition as a learner and pragmatist to enter into cognitive behavior therapy The success of early diagnosis and treatment in lowering the occurrence of suicide, for which physicians are notoriously at risk Brimming with case examples, The Physician as Patient adopts a reader-friendly style that facilitates quick grasp of concepts, while an extensive list of references and websites provides an entrée for additional support. This book is an indispensable resource for all mental health professionals who take caregivers into their care.

The Yanks Are Starving

A Novel of the Bonus Army

By: Glen Craney

Two armies. One flag. No honor. The darkest day in American history. "[A] wonderful source of historical fact wrapped in a compelling novel....will both teach and entertain." -- Historical Novel Society Former political journalist Glen Craney has enthralled readers with novels set during the medieval crusades and Scottish wars of independence. Now the award-winning author brings to life the little-known story of the Bonus March of 1932, which culminated in a shocking clash between thousands of homeless veterans and U.S. Army regulars on the streets of the nation's capital. "[A] vivid picture of not only men being deprived of their veterans' rights, but of their human rights as well.... Craney performs a valuable service by chronicling it in this admirable book." — MILITARY WRITERS SOCIETY OF AMERICA "Craney has written an outstanding social and military historical novel of the United States." — MARINE VETERAN JOSEPH SPUCKLER * * * Foreword Book-of-the-Year Finalist Historical Fiction * * * * * * indieBRAG Medallion * * * * * * Chaucer Award Finalist * * * Mired in the Great Depression, the United States teeters on the brink of revolution. And the nation holds its collective breath as a rail-riding hobo leads 20,000 fellow World War I veterans on a desperate quest for justice to the steps of the U.S. Capitol. This timely epic evokes the historical novels of Jeff Sharra as it sweeps across three decades with eight Americans from different backgrounds who survive the fighting in France and come together again, fourteen years later, to determine the fate of a country threatened by communism and fascism: — Herbert Hoover, the beleaguered president. — Douglas MacArthur, the ambitious general. — Pelham Glassford, the compassionate police chief. — Walter Waters, the troubled leader of the Bonus veterans. — Floyd Gibbons, the war correspondent and famous radio broadcaster. — Joe Angelo, the Italian-American who serves as George Patton's orderly. — Ozzie Taylor, the street musician turned Harlem Hellfighter. — Anna Raber, the Mennonite nurse. We follow these men and women from the Boxer Rebellion in China to the Plain of West Point, from the persecution of conscientious objectors in the Midwest to the horrors of the Marne in France, and from the Hoovervilles of the heartland to the pitiful Anacostia encampment in the bowels of the District of Columbia. Here is an alarming portrayal of the political intrigue and government betrayal that ignited the only violent conflict between two American armies under the same flag. "One of the best and most memorable books I have ever read." — MARINE VETERAN NATHAN MERCER "Craney combines the visual imagery of a screenwriter and the objectivity of a journalist with the passions of a writer... [E]ssential reading for those who found truth and beauty co-existent in the works of John Steinbeck and John Dos Passos." — LINDA ROOT, REVIEW GROUP UK "[I] know of no other fiction writer who has made this brave, tragic protest movement the main theme of a novel, until now. Glen Craney deserves praise for recognizing the significance and dramatic potential of the Bonus Army story." — THE COMPULSIVE READER START READING THE YANKS ARE STARVING TODAY.

Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders

By: Glen O. Gabbard

The rapidly evolving knowledge base in psychiatry mandates timely updates to the consensus on treating various psychiatric disorders. Fulfilling that mandate is this Third Edition of the state-of- "Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders." With a deliberately pluralistic approach, its 90 chapters include new information on each disorder plus updated accounts of optimal treatments for both children and adults. Although it emphasizes the results of randomized controlled trials when available, this authoritative compendium also features data from uncontrolled studies and accumulated clinical wisdom when there is limited empirical research from which to draw. Further, this definitive text combines these data with highly sophisticated integrative models of treatment to help clinicians select among the available modalities and assemble them into rational conceptual frameworks that maximize the effectiveness of the overall treatment plan. Presenting complex material in a reader-friendly format, this collection of expert opinions-including discussions of sometimes-controversial treatments-helps clinicians meet the daily challenges of treatment planning. With chapters by recognized authorities on every major disorder based on categories from DSM-IV from those affecting infants and children (learning, developmental, anxiety, and mood disorders) to those affecting adolescents and adults (cognitive, substance-related, psychotic, mood and anxiety, dissociative, somatoform, sexual, eating, personality, sleep, and impulse-control disorders), no other reference even comes close to this volume's encyclopedic scope of treatment detail. Quite simply, this reference is the definitive psychiatric treatment text for students, residents, clinicians, and other mental health professionals.

Beyond Superficiality with God

By: Glen Beyeler

Beyond Superficiality shows how we arrive at artificial explanations of reality when we ignore God, and how that results in all kinds of false ideas.Is Macro-Evolution really scientific? How do false ideas replace reality? How does political correctness replace truth? Exalting self instead of God means we act as if there are no absolutes! This means ?we? decide the issues, ?we? make the rules. Relativism becomes the modus operandi. We decide how we got here, what our purpose is, what is moral, and where we are going. Result ? the chaos we see today.
