<p>This new Third Edition is designed for use with adults who have suffered a stroke or other brain injury or who are affected by the aging process. While the fundamental format covering such skill areas as visual scanning, reading, observing, information acquisition, listening, memory, and abstract reasoning has remained the same, each of the individual training sections has been revised and updated with additional exercises and teacher suggestions. Several new topics have also been introduced; these include new chapters on Understanding the Recovery Process, Maintaining Wellness, and Mood and Thinking. In addition, the newly titled sections on Listening, Scheduling and Time Management, and Memory in Everyday Living have undergone major revisions that will help to maximize improvement in these skill areas. The text features a pretest and posttest for identifying initial deficits and for assessing, improvement. The authors have also included two other methods that allow users to chart ongoing recovery skills and daily activities. The Thinking Skills Workbook can be a valuable tool for facilitating the recovery of cognitive skills and is written for easy use by professional rehabilitation staff, paraprofessionals, and/or family members.</p>

<p>Asking for help does not mean we are helpless, Drs. Bornstein and Languirand tell us. Especially in difficult times, it is more important than ever to connect with the people around us. Their more than twenty years of research and study prove that too much dependency in our relationships--whether with family, friends, lovers, or co-workers--can be a bad thing, but too little dependency is just as bad. To achieve balance and better define this flexible middle ground between rigid independence and unhealthy overdependence, Dr. Bornstein coined the phrase "Healthy Dependency" and, with his colleague and wife, has written the definitive book on the subject. Laced with case studies, anecdotes, and questionnaires, they give us the rationale and skill-building tools to help us to change the way we think about ourselves and others. Among the benefits of Healthy Dependency are increased satisfaction in love relationships, greater likelihood of academic and career success, better family communication and improved parenting skills, and enhanced physical and psychological health.</p>
