How does an already busy manager deal with people whose personalities are difficult or even seriously disturbed? The answer lies in using practical psychology to understand just what it is that makes them tick, whether it’s something as common as being introverted or extroverted . . . or something much more serious. From Difficult to Disturbed helps readers become better managers by providing insight into both big and small people-problems that can seriously disrupt the workplace if they’re not handled correctly. The book contains down-to-earth solutions for dealing with: 
* Personality Types: including avoidant, dependent, histrionic, narcissistic, or antisocial workers 
* Common People Problems: such as unproductive, angry, uncooperative, or chronic problem employees 
* Mental Disorders: such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety and panic disorders, as well as alcohol and substance abuse 
Every workplace is filled with a wide range of personalities. This book gives managers the insight, understanding, and tools they need to get the best from those who present the toughest problems.

For more than a decade before he introduced psychoanalysis to the world, Sigmund Freud's consuming passion was the study of the brain. However, with few exceptions, the fundamental clinical neuropsychological contributions to psychoanalysis have been largely overlooked, since most of Freud's writings in this area have been relegated to his ``prepsychoanalytic'' period. Today's researchers, who have begun to forge integrations between the brain sciences and psychoanalysis, primarily use the data of modern neuropsychology while neglecting the rich lode of Freud's own neuroscientific thought. FREUD'S BRAIN brings together the neuropsychologies of past and present to develop a comprehensive neuropsychodynamic model of psychoanalysis and personality theory.

In World War I, they spoke of shell shock. By World War II, the term was battle fatigue. Modern understanding of trauma psychology has evolved to give the concept a non-military name: posttraumatic stress disorder. As such, it has been at the heart of civil and criminal cases from workers' compensation to murder.
PTSD and Forensic Psychology brings its topic into real-world focus by examining posttraumatic stress as a clinical entity and taking readers through the evaluation process for court cases involving the PTSD syndrome. This timely reference differentiates between PTSD and disorders that may be mistaken for it, and demonstrates its legal application in seeking civil damages and mounting a criminal defense. An evidence-based framework for conducting a trial-worthy evaluation and guidelines for establishing strong cases and refuting dubious ones further illustrate the protocols and challenges surrounding the status of PTSD in legal settings. For maximum usefulness, the book offers courtroom advice for expert witnesses as well as "practice points" at the end of each chapter. Featured topics include: 
<ul>
<li>History of the PTSD concept and its relation to the law.</li>
<li>PTSD as syndrome: symptoms, diagnosis, treatment.</li>
<li>PTSD and other traumatic disability syndromes.</li>
<li>PTSD in the civil litigation and criminal justice systems.</li>
<li>PTSD as an insanity defense and in claims of diminished capacity.</li>
<li>PTSD cases: evaluation, interpretation, testimony.</li>
</ul>
This thorough yet concise analysis makes PTSD and Forensic Psychology the ideal training tool for beginning mental health expert witnesses, as well as a concise practical review and reference source for seasoned forensic psychologists. It will also serve as a useful practice and teaching guide for attorneys, medical rehabilitation professionals, military personnel, psychotherapists, researchers, and educators in the fields of clinical and forensic psychology, criminology, traumatic stress studies, and mental health law.

Ray K. Metzker's stunning streetscapes are captured in this celebration of the photographer's work. These black-and-white photographs, taken over a quarter century and presented here by visual themes, show Metzker pushing the technical boundaries of photography into an undefined formal realm well beyond the expected. Photographs demonstrate Metzker's command of light and shade: four figures wait pensively at a bus stop, as though caged in glass, staring boldly into a wedge of bright light; a lone woman stands outside a train station, engulfed in an ominous stripe of inky shadow, with only the white of her necklace and a folded newspaper as talismans to ward off the darkness. Whether the photographs capture people waiting to take action, or people already in motion, Metzker's technique estranges them from the lockstep rhythm of mundane activity, and makes them stand still - just for a moment. The result is a series of photographs that demands a reinterpretation of the city and its inhabitants.
