Get
Out of My Life, but First Could You Drive Me and Cheryl to the Mall? :
A Parent's Guide to the New Teenager
by Anthony E. Wolf
This is a survival guide for parents who find themselves
marooned among volatile and incomprehensible aliens on Planet Teen.
Area maps cover the obvious ground--there are chapters on school, sex,
suicide, and so on--but it's the title of Chapter 2, "What They Do and
Why," that best captures the book's spirit and technique. Anthony Wolf's
modus operandi is not so much to make pronouncements about what parents
should do, as to explain adolescent behavior in a way that's bound to leave
parents with a changed view of the plausible options. Wolf is a clinical
psychologist, and his writing is clear--even witty--and he doesn't resort
to jargon. |

Dysfunction

"Inattentive." Children who have been labeled with words like these may

or undersensitivity to sensations and movements, and other symptoms. This

Emotional
Intelligence
by Daniel Goleman
There was a time when IQ was considered the leading determinant
of success. In this fascinating book, based on brain and behavioral research,
Daniel Goleman argues that our IQ-idolizing view of intelligence is far
too narrow. Instead, Goleman makes the case for "emotional intelligence"
being the strongest indicator of human success. He defines emotional intelligence
in terms of self-awareness, altruism, personal motivation, empathy, and
the ability to love and be loved by friends, partners, and family members.
People who possess high emotional intelligence are the people who truly
succeed in work as well as play, building flourishing careers and lasting,
meaningful relationships. Because emotional intelligence isn't fixed at
birth, Goleman outlines how adults as well as parents of young children
can sow the seeds. |

Individuals with the Borderline Personality Disorder
need many things for a happy and successful life. Medication and counseling
alone will not work. Reality perception regularly gets impaired, ruining
relationships and many other areas of a borderline's life. Awareness of
symptoms, clarifying perceptions, and taking responsibility for one's life
are all crucial. Laura Paxton's book Borderline and Beyond is enormously
helpful - no matter what kind of therapy is being used. |
