Forfatterne redegør grundigt for, hvordan det er frugtbart at anvende mentalisering som et opdateret sprog til at beskrive, forstå og møde spiseforstyrrelser. Bogen er også en praktisk vejledning i, hvordan man kan arbejde med mentaliseringsbaseret terapi for spiseforstyrrelser (MBT-ED), og er et internationalt nybrud i forhold til metodeudvikling for alvorlige spiseforstyrrelser.Spiseforstyrrelser kan ramme hårdt og ødelægge sundhed, fremtid og familier. Mange synes, at det er vanskeligt at forstå spiseforstyrrelser, og hjælpen er stadigvæk ikke god nok. Bogen præsenterer det faglige begreb mentalisering, der henviser til vores evne til at forstå andre, til at kende os selv og forstå de forhold, vi er en del af.Herudover er bogen en opmuntring og inspiration til professionelles faglige udvikling – til hele tiden at forsøge at blive dygtigere til at hjælpe mennesker, som sidder fast i forestillingerne om sig selv.

This work presents the adaptation of mentalization-based therapy for use in Eating Disorders (MBT-ED). MBT-ED is one of the few therapies for eating disorders that links theory of mind, and attachment and psychodynamic therapies and as such will be of great theoretical interest to a wide variety of clinicians and researchers.

Paul Robinson is a thyroid patient with over thirty years of personal knowledge of hypothyroidism, and over ten years experience of supporting thousands of thyroid patients. He has already written two ground-breaking books on hypothyroidism: 'Recovering with T3' and 'The CT3M Handbook', which focus on recovering from hypothyroidism and adrenal problems using the T3 thyroid hormone (Liothyronine) in the safest and most effective way. The Thyroid Patient's Manual is a practical, easy-to-read book, which provides an excellent resource for people who are trying to understand and treat hypothyroidism. It is aimed at patients who suspect they have low thyroid hormone levels, those who have just been diagnosed and are beginning treatment, and those who are on treatment already, but are still feeling ill. This book deals with all the main thyroid hormone treatment options, including T4 (Levothyroxine), NDT (natural desiccated thyroid), T3 (Liothyronine) and all combinations. An easy-to-grasp series of steps is presented that includes information on thyroid and adrenal hormones, diagnosis of hypothyroidism and selecting the right treatment. It explains why those with Hashimoto's thyroiditis or have thyroidectomies often find conventional treatment leaves them with remaining symptoms. All the common problems that can get in the way are discussed, along with their solutions. It is consistent with recent research studies on thyroid diagnosis and treatment.It is a manual, so it is very specific about ideal levels for test results and levels that are a concern.The Thyroid Patient's Manual gives you the tools needed to gain some control of your health, and to be able to work productively with your doctor, so that you can recover your health as fast as possible.Note: This book does not replace either of the previous two books about hypothyroidism, which are vital to read for those trying to use the T3 thyroid hormone safely and successfully.With the release of The Thyroid Patient's Manual, Paul's hypothyroidism books have now become a complete series (the Recovering from Hypothyroidism series).

From the 1969 rebellion at Stonewall to recent battles over same-sex marriage, Gay Liberation in the United States has always been closely associated with the political left. But in recent years, Gay Liberation has taken a dramatic turn toward the right. And gaycons, as they were once archly referred to in the Nation, have taken politics and the media by storm. New Republic columnist Andrew Sullivan, for instance, is one of the most popular bloggers on the Internet. Writer Bruce Bawer, meanwhile, is celebrated for his incisive criticism of gay culture and its connections with camp and diva worship. Queer Wars limns this new gay right, offering the first extended consideration of gay conservatism and the trenchant critics who espouse its positions. Here celebrated historian of gay culture Paul Robinson draws particular attention to three features of this new political movement. First, he explores how gay conservatives have rejected the idea that commitment to gay freedom should involve equal dedication to the causes of other marginalized people, be they racial minorities, women, or the poor. Second, Robinson demonstrates why gay conservatives embrace more traditional gender ideals--why they are hostile to effeminacy among men and mannishness among women. Finally, exploring the support for sexual restraint among gay conservatives, Robinson dissects their condemnation of promiscuity and their assault on behavior they deem dissolute. Timely and rich in suggestive propositions, Queer Wars will prove to be essential reading for anyone interested in gay culture and contemporary politics.
