Great if you have all day to cook..........2007-10-06
This is a recipe book, and that's it. Perfect if that's what you're looking for, but if you live in the real world and eat out from time to time there really are no good tips in here. Essentially what you get is, "cook for yourself" or "learn to punch your way out of a wet paper bag" (I choose the latter for hopefully obvious reasons). Thinking for yourself isn't overrated after all!
Great gift!.......2007-10-04
Purchased this book along with the "what to eat" publication as an early gift for a nervous mother-to-be. It was received with much appreciation by this first-time mommy who was seeking information in order to have a sucessful pregnancy and a healthy baby. A useful tool in gaining knowledge from one source rather searching thru many others. It's also something that can be appreciated as it is passed along to another mom-to-be.
Good Menu, but Very Expensive Ingredients.......2007-07-22
Buying 2 days of food using this cookbook cost over $90 in our local grocer. So while the recipes are good, we are using them in extreme moderation as many of the main ingredients are hard to come by and expensive.
A Definite Must-Have for Expectant Moms.......2007-07-22
I wish I would have had this during my first pregnancy. I had asked all of my health care professionals what I should eat and how I should take care of myself during that crucial time, but the standard reply was always, "Eat healthy and exercise." This book defines what eating healthy and taking care of yourself during pregnancy involves. It includes tips on weight gain, pre-pregnancy and postpartum nutrition, information on low carb and vegetarian diets as well as family-friendly recipes.
you know it anyway.......2007-01-15
Got this book by mistake. It is OK but there is nothing in it that you don't get at the ante netal classes. Would reccomend what to expect when your expecting instead.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOUR EXPECTING.......2007-09-21
It was purchased for my daughter-in-law. They are expecting their first child. She loves the book. It is and will be very helpful thru the next 7 months. She loves looking at the size of the baby as it grows. I would recomend it for any new to be Mom. It's a great gift for anyone you know who is expecting.
Invaluable during pregnancy!.......2007-09-21
I purchased this organizer for my first pregnancy and knew right away with my second pregnancy that I would buy it again! It is so helpful to have all my information in one place. It allows you to write in insurance information, doctor's contact information, results from tests, pregnancy wellness exams and much, much more. It really is invaluable! I loved looking back at my first pregnancy organizer and reminding myself of everything that occurred. There are other pregnancy organizers on the market, but I think this one is the most detailed.
Very handy! .......2007-08-21
I was mid pregnancy when they came out with the revised version of the organizer. I like the new version much better. It was very helpful for all of my questions I had as a first time mom. I highly recommend this book for any one who likes to keep things organized and want one place to keep track of all of their pregnancy needs. I will defiantly buy one again for my next pregnancy.
Could be better, but I still love mine.......2007-07-18
I have 4 kids and one of these for each of them. They made keeping track of what questions I had for the doc, weight changes, allowed meds, etc a lot easier. I don't think (as a first time mom) that I would've known just what to write down. As I've gone along with other pregnancies, I've learned to be more detailed in my writing and now go back to past journals as reference materials. Just when did heartburn kick in? When did I get to the point when I had trouble sleeping or rolling over?
The cons, as other reviewers have noted, mainly have to do with the layout. It's just not as easily accessible as it could be. I dealt with this by getting reusable sticky page markers and wrote the most important sections down: OB Appointments, Journal area, etc. Another beef I had was that there weren't quite enough slots for the appointments for me. There were periods when I had more frequent visits than usual and I ended up having to write on the reverse side of the previous page. If you have a difficult pregnancy, this may be an issue. Also, they only give you a small square for each week of journaling. I had way more to write than I had space and ended up writing very tiny to squeeze it all in.
Keep a pencil with it with a book/magazine to read in a small tote bag to grab on your way to the OB's. Just don't keep it where small children can get to it...
Good record keeper.......2007-07-07
I used this journal for my first my pregnancy and am using the revised version now. Being high risk, it is great to be able to refer to my first journal weekly to see if I'd experienced the same symptoms the first time around. It's handy to take to dr visits to help remember questions I wanted to ask.The section tabs and the pocket are great additions. I wish there was a tab for each & every section, rather than just 3 general sections-had to add my own. This book is ideal for record keeping and remembering all those little things about the time you spent carrying your baby. I highly recommend it.

"It isn't what you eat or how much you eat that makes you fat, it is when you eat and what you eat together," announces this follow-up to the smash original Beverly Hills diet plan. In a switch from the original, this updated version gives day-to-day advice and support and a full 35-day menu plan that includes a more balanced diet that includes animal protein (the first 10 days of the original diet included nothing but fruit). There's no portion control or forbidden foods, ergo the book's mantra: "Cheesecake and cheekbones, hamburgers and hipbones." Enthusiastic and encouraging author Judy Mazel dropped from 180 to 108 pounds by following this diet, optimizing the enzymatic action of foods by eating fruits by themselves, by not mixing carbohydrates with proteins or eating carbohydrates after proteins, and by following protein with protein. The many additional rules of this diet may be hard to keep track of, but the guideline that's easy to remember is that champagne goes with everything (however, wine goes with fruit, and other alcoholic beverages should be combined with other carbohydrates). Warning: some of the prescribed fruits--there are mangoes, papayas, pineapples, and apricots galore--will be hard to find out of season for anyone who doesn't live in southern California.
Book Description
Imagine a program where you can indulge in your favorite foods--from steak to pasta, and even champagne--and still lose weight easily. Then imagine being able to maintain your new slim shape forever. With this new program, author Judy Mazel has made your dreams a reality. She shows you how to take charge of the foods you eat to achieve a lifestyle eating plan that will keep you off the "fat track" for good. The secret to your new slimhood rests with Conscious Combining. Refined and expanded from its introduction in Mazel's original book, this technique teaches you how and when to mix different food groups for optimum weight control. You'll also learn the four golden rules of weight management, plus the significance of enzyme interaction in weight loss. The program now includes a 35-day "Born Again Skinny" diet with recipes for your new food lifestyle. This is a diet many Hollywood stars have embraced. Judy's private client list has included luminaries such as Jack Nicholson, Jodie Foster, Maria Shriver and Engelbert Humperdinck. They, and countless others, found this to be the lifestyle eating plan that changed their shape forever.
Customer Reviews:
This diet is GROSS. STAY AWAY........2006-08-17
This diet makes you feel weak, it makes you feel light headed, and it makes you hate fruit with a PASSION. Why don't you try eating only watermelon or grapes for a day and tell me how YOU feel...along with all of the other days being mostly acidic fruits that cause ulcers and the corners of your mouth to be raw from the juice. It makes you have diarrhea and stomach pains, and I'm sorry but NO AMOUNT of weight makes that ok. It's the diet of a compulsive eater and a bulimic, and I can't believe I bought into this diet. Ask any health expert, and they will tell you to stay away. You might as well fast like an anerexic , binge like a compulsive eater, and purge yourself of the food through taking exlax...it will have the same effect.. I am SO GROSSED OUT BY THIS DIET!PLEASE don't do this to yourself..I know you may see this and think...she just screwed up the diet and is mad at herself for it and is taking it out on the diet...I am not doing that, and I just don't want anyone to do this to themselves..I was reading a blog from someone who said that she got a severe condition because of this diet that has stayed with her for over a year now...Don't do this to yourself..I don't care how good fruit is for you...its not good in HUGE amounts and you can't live off of it...find another diet and be healthy.
After first day, I'm down 2 1/2 pounds!.......2006-08-06
Yes you heard right. 2 1/2 pounds after only one day on this fantastic diet. Now I know it may be water weight, but hey it's less weight on the scale and that's half the battle when you are starting off a diet because the quick water weight loss keeps you motivated. There is a TON of fruit on this diet and this morning I have to eat a good deal of prunes...but I also can look forward to days on the diet coming up when I can eat whatever I want in moderation and know that I wont gain weight because it will be followed by fruit days that will keep me from gaining a pound. This is a healthy diet. Fruit, carbs(other then fruit),protien, and healthy fats like olive oil. I feel like I'm learning a new way of living that will be livable and once you get off the weight you need you adapt her moderate approach that is only fruit in the moring and then the correct combining for the rest of the day. Its great.
Give it a shot.......2006-02-28
I lost 20 pounds on this diet over 5 years ago and havent gained a pound back. I think alot of people start out negative with this diet, they are constanly trying to disprove that is works. Be positive and give this diet a chance, yes its a hard diet but it works and if you actually ready the book you can keep the weight off. After the first two weeks on this diet I felt so energetic and refreshed. I suggest buying canned sliced pineapple (in juice not syrup) its less messy and can save alot of money. Good luck dont get discouraged.
quite surprised!.......2005-10-29
Ok... so i was SO suspicious! I thought anyone who eats fruit for days on end will lose weight! But today is my 5th Day I have stuck to the plan and am eating a LOT! I have lost 4.5 pounds and am really surprised being a protien/carb every meal kinda gal. To start with you may think I am overweight so the weight is all water etc etc., but actually I just wanted to lose a few vanity pounds (about 10) and couldnt shake them even with exercise high protien, so i decided to shock my body with this diet and see what happened. Needless to say I was not that optimistic, but after only 5 days I am converted and think that it obviously does work. Go for it!
This is a really good book........2003-07-06
I think that this book really helped me to make the right choies about what i eat. Thank You Judy M.
In french it is, Je adores Judy!!!
Book Description
This work serves as a clear, cogent description of the process of emotionally focused marital therapy (EFT) - which, at the same time, illuminates the promise this technique offers. While most of the literature in this area is based on the idea of intervention being primarily behavioral (with emotion considered as secondary at best, and disruptive at worst) this book identifies the role of emotion in marital distress, and then reveals its potential to play a central role in successful marital therapy. The Practice of Emotionally Focused Marital Therapy includes: A model for short-term, effective marital therapy Relevant theory of adult love and marital stress Change strategies with many clinical examples Nine steps in the process of change, together with key change events Step-by-step guide to intervention at specific points in therapy Specific ways to address a partners emotions to create new interactions and bonding events Applications of techniques with families This important new volume presents EFT as a powerful therapeutic technique for practicing professionals, and also serves as an instructive graduate-level text for courses in marital therapy, psychology, social work, and counselling.
Customer Reviews:
Good EFT book.......2007-01-10
This book is very good for people who want to learn more about EFT. it is easy to read and has lots of case examples.
Great Theory and Practice.......2006-07-04
This is an excellent presention of EFT for couple therapy. The theoretical underpinnings are presented in a way that does not detract from the aim of the book to help one learn how this work is done. There are lots of clear examples and explanations that give one the feeling they are ready to apply what they have learned in their next session. Written in a clear style free of jargon.
Excellent and concise.......2005-08-12
Good overview of the relationship between attachment and emotional functioning in marriage. The manualized treatment approach has been empirically supported so deserves more than just a glance. An excellent addition to the libraries of anyone interested in and encountering the challenges of couples counseling.
An excellent guide for practitioners.......1998-12-03
Johnson does a beautiful job of laying out the process of effective therapy with couples in a manner that is both clear and respectful of the complexity of the process. Upon reading her book, it suddenly became clear to me why I have been successful with some couples and painfully inadequate with others. It's been a real jump-start to my feeling alive and effective again in therapy. Tom Daniels, Ph.D. Licensed Psychologist
Book Description
In 1956 Stella Chess and Alexander Thomas launched the pioneering New York Longitudinal Study, a systematic investigation into the concept of temperament that has been pursued to the present decade. The findings from this study - that temperamental profiles of infants, children, adolescents, and adults show specific individual behavioral characteristics - are accepted as basic to the psychological mechanism of behavioral functioning. Now, these two preeminent authorities and teaches in the field of child and adolescent psychiatry present an essential introduction to their internationally recognized work. This volume takes the reader from concept - including the definition of temperament and the studies that support and expand upon that definition - to specific explorations of temperament and its impact across various practice settings and special populations.

Book Description
Helping the traumatized can be quite traumatizing. br br Compassion Fatigue is the latest in an evolving concept known in the field of traumatology as Secondary Traumatic Stress, or the stress experienced by caregivers. At focus in this volume are the assessment, treatment and prevention of Compassion Fatigue. br br Through examination of contemporary theory and research, leaders in the field come together to further clarify the concept of Compassion Fatigue. Case studies address the trauma of working with special populations such as children, victims of terrorism, and major disaster survivors. New and innovative treatment methods offer comprehensive plans for recovery from burnout and the prevention strategies provided will be of use to those in the helping professions. i Treating Compassion Fatigue /i will bring to light the "cost of caring" for those in emotional distress, allowing professionals to fully prosper in their compassionate efforts. br
Book Description
Due to the release of two major textbooks in child and adolescent psychiatry in the last three years, Dr. Hendren felt the findings from these books, particularly in biologic psychiatry, should be included in his new edition of this book. For this revised and updated second edition, Dr. Hendren has reviewed every question, answer, and explanation to ensure coverage of the major advances in the classification of child and adolescent disorders represented in the DSM-IV. Some questions not only reflect this move into biologic psychiatry but also into managed care in the field.
Customer Reviews:
actually helped a lot!.......2004-01-03
I just took the child board exam and this question-and-answer book actually helped a lot. The exam takes three days: half of one for the written exam, a 75 minute preschool/school age oral exam, and a 60 minute live adolescent oral exam. This book helps the most with the written exam. The questions are similar to the type on the real exam. Hendren provides questions in either multiple choice or K-type format, with some matching questions. These are followed by answers and brief explanations. The explanations are usually helpful, but there are some that are confusing or skimpy. I actually got frustrated with a few of them. The material is a little dated (little on atypicals and a lot on tricyclics). But overall you will learn a lot and be in full "question mode" during the exam. There are a couple sections at the end of the book to help prepare for the oral exams. The preschool/school age one is more pertinent, because there is a written vignette on the actual exam. Overall, this book is well worth the investment!
