ABOUT THIS BOOK: What causes psychiatric disorders to appear? Are they primarily the result of people's environments, or of their genes? Increasingly, we are told that research has confirmed the importance of genetic influences on schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and autism. But it is not true, as frequently reported in the popular media, that genes for the major psychiatric disorders have already been discovered. In fact, researchers' initial "discoveries" are rarely replicated. Research methods such as family, twin, and adoption studies have laid the foundations for the current worldwide effort to identify the genes presumed underlie these conditions; Dr. Jay Joseph argues that molecular genetic researchers would be well advised to take a hard second look at these foundations, which are far weaker than they believe. Theories based on genetic research are having a profound impact on both scientific and public thinking, as well as on social policy decisions. In addition, genetic theories influence the types of clinical treatments received by people diagnosed with psychiatric disorders. Yet, as the author demonstrates, these theories do not stand up to critical examination. Like his previous work, The Gene Illusion, Genetic Research in Psychiatry and Psychology Under the Microscope, this will be a controversial book and it is sure to spark intense discussion among those interested in the causes of mental disorders. The author challenges many positions viewed by mainstream psychiatry and psychology as established facts. He devotes individual chapters to ADHD, autism, and bipolar disorder. In the process, he shows that textbooks and othersecondary sources sometimes provide misleading or inaccurate accounts of research put forward as supporting the genetic position. This book provides an important counterargument to the current widespread belief that our destiny lies in our genes. As gene-finding exercises continue to fail and the weakness of the premise becomes more apparent, we may look for a paradigm shift in psychiatry away from genetic and biological explanations of mental disorders and towards a greater understanding of how family, social, and political environments contribute to human psychological distress. Jay Joseph, Psy.D., is a clinical psychologist practicing in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. Since 1998, his articles on genetic research in psychiatry and psychology have appeared in journals such as Developmental Review, The American Journal of Psychology; Genetic, Social, and General Psychology Monographs; Politics and the Life Sciences; History of Psychiatry; The Journal of Mind and Behavior; Psychiatric Quarterly; New Ideas in Psychology; and Ethical Human Psychology and Psychiatry. He is currently an Associate Editor of Ethical Human Psychology and Psychiatry, and an Assessing Editor of The Journal of Mind and Behavior. The 2003 United Kingdom edition of his first book, The Gene Illusion: Genetic Research in Psychiatry and Psychology Under the Microscope, was followed by a revised 2004 North American edition by Algora Publishing.(Publisher).

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The story of wine, one of the foundations of Western Civilization, is the story of religion, medicine, science, war, discovery and dream. The essential historical background and the key developments in the history of wine through the ages are outlined in this compact, engaging, easy-to-read and well-illustrated text, with lists of top vintages. For thousands of years wine mixed with water was the safe drink. It was a key ingredient of medications. The antiseptic properties of the alcohol it contains saved lives. Wine was associated with many religious rituals, some of which survive today. The story of wine involves scientists like Hippocrates of Kos, Zaccharia Razi, Isaac Newton (albeit indirectly), Louis Pasteur, and many others. It also involves colorful people such as Gregory of Tours and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Vines made their way to the Americas with the Conquistadores. Then wines almost disappeared in the late 1800s as Phylloxera spread throughout the world. This scourge was followed by World War I, the Great Depression, Prohibition, and World War II. Today, winemaking has enjoyed a renaissance and many excellent and affordable wines are produced throughout the world.Stefan K. Estreicher is Paul Whitfield Horn Professor of Physics at Texas Tech University. His fascination with wine, and the history of wine, dates back to a memorable encounter with a bottle of Richebourg 1949 while working toward his doctorate from the University of Zurich, Switzerland. He has been invited to lecture on the topic at scientific meetings in San Francisco and Santa Clara as well as at Texas Tech and Oxford University (UK). Estreicher has published over 150 scientific papers as well as several articles on various aspects of the history of wine.

Softcover / Paperback. Condizione: Fine. First edition. Softcover. The author is an expert on serial killers. Founder of the Violent Crimes Institute, she holds a PhD in Criminal Justice and Forensic Science. She was the only profiler to have interviewed a large group of female serial killers for a first-ever book on profiling such killers. An in-depth study of females convicted of multiple murder in the United States, offering invaluable insights that have never before been available to law enforcement professionals, counsellors, and others who are concerned with convicted potential offenders. The results provide a profile of the female multiple murderer. Like their male counterparts, female killers endured patterns of extreme emotional, physical, and sexual abuse as children. Due to the familial turmoil the female offender, like the male multiple murderer, turned inward to an introverted fantasy life. Isolation became a way of life, and contact with others became less frequent. It appears that violence emerges from violence, whether the violence is physical, emotional, or sexual. Chapter headings include : Murder; Murder Theories: How Could They Do It?; Female Multiple Murderers: Up Close and Personal; The Process of Maturation; From Fantasy to Reality; The Sadistic Female Multiple Murderer; Behaviour Patterns; Profiling; Tornado Effect; Interviewing Multiple Murderers; Conclusion and Future of Profiling.

The unthinkable crimes sketched in this book show that it is just as chancy to accept a ride offered by a couple as it is to hop into a car driven by a single male. Simply stated, couples or groups that kill usually have perverted tendencies as individuals, but it is only when they come together that their combined personality becomes lethal. How does it happen, and what can be done to prevent it? What are the differences between killers who act on their own, and those who prefer to take a partner? What goes through the partners' minds, years later, when they reflect on what they've done? Contents include : Rosemary and Frederick West, Caril Ann Fugate and Charles Starkweather, The Moors Murders (Myra Hindley and Ian Brady), Carol Bundy and Doug Clark, Charlene and Gerald Gallego, Martha Beck and Raymond Fernandez, Gwendolyn Graham and Catherine Wood, Amelia Sach and Annie Waters, The "Angels of Death" (two nurses), Dean Corll and Wayne Henley, The Hillside Stranglers, Charles Ng and Leonard Lake, The Zebra Killings, The Chicago Rippers, The Lainz Hospital, The Manson Family + many, many more.
