From Library Journal Severe cardiovascular disease can be emotionally crippling. Budnick, a psychotherapist specializing in patients with heart disease and their families, addresses this highly original study to those who must grapple with the uncertainties and fears created by a life-threatening disorder. In simple, readily comprehensible language, he provides reassurance and offers coping mechanisms for adjusting to the many changes necessitated by the illness. Drawing on both personal (having witnessed his father and sister succumb to heart disease) as well as professional experience, Budnick offers succinct advice regarding the changing roles of each family member. His very practical book is recommended for public libraries as well as medical libraries that permit patient access. - Carol R. Glatt, VA Medical Ctr. Lib., Philadelphia Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. Product Description When someone close to you suffers from heart disease, the impact can be devastating for the patient, family and friends. Once the medical emergency has passed, a wide spectrum of emotional problems may begin. Today's heart disease patient needs to address these issues. If ignored, the patient and other family members alike can become hostage not only to the physical limitations of heart disease, but the emotional limitations as well. Full cardiac recovery requires both a healthy body and a healthy emotional state, beginning the process of regaining a sense of control over life.

For many years, there have been speculations made about the nature of the relationship between Sigmund Freud and his sister-in-law, Minna Bernays. It has long been suggested that they were lovers and confidantes and even that Minna conceived Freud's child and underwent an abortion. These theories have been fueled from valid sources, such as Carl Jung, who stated that Minna, in a fit of distress, confessed a sexual relationship with Freud. Freudian scholars appear divided on the issue of the nature of their relationship. This work must be considered fact-based fiction -- drawn from actual events, dates, and circumstances taken from Freud's letters and biographies but with fictional dialogue. Living in Vienna just blocks from the old Freud household while researching this book, the author retraced the documented travels of Freud and Minna, trying to provide authentic details, down to hotel names, whenever possible. One thing is certain. Minna Bernays did live with the Freud family for many years and was working closely with Freud for at least ten of those years translating, proofreading, and editing manuscripts, as well as accompanying him in travel. Because of the intimate nature of their relationship, Minna has been all but obliterated from Sigmund Freud's family history. Certain documents and pictures are sealed until well after the year 2000 in accordance with the wishes of Anna Freud, his daughter. The truth about Minna and Freud's relationship remains with these documents.

Dermatology has made remarkable strides in recent decades, with the advent of high-tech aids such as lasers and cryosurgery and new wonder drugs such as steroids and vitamin A derivatives; thus, many skin sufferers have been cured by their physicians.
 Yet many have not. If you have brought your persistent eczema, your stubborn warts, your psoriasis or other distressing skin ailment, or even your recurrent herpes to specialists and superspecialists, and if all the creams, lotions, and medications have failed to help, you must wonder if there is something else -- and ardently hope that there is. This is exactly what Drs. Grossbart and Sherman have addressed in Skin Deep: A Mind/Body Program for Healthy Skin.
