How everyone became depressed : the rise and fall of the nervous breakdown / by Shorter, Edward.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 201-241) and index.Nerves as a problem -- The rise of nervous illness -- Fatigue -- Anxiety -- A different kind of nervous breakdown: melancholia -- The nervous breakdown -- Paradigm shift -- Something wrong with the label -- Drugs -- The return of the two depressions (and an anxious postscript -- Nerves redux -- Context."In this provocative book, Edward Shorter describes how in the 19th century patients with anxiety, fatigue and unable to sleep and obsess about the whole thing were considered "nervous," and when they lost control it was a "nervous breakdown." Then psychiatry turned its back on the whole concept of nerves, and--first under the influence of Freud's psychoanalysis and then the influence of the pharmaceutical industry--the diagnosis of depression took center stage. The result has been a scientific disaster, leading to the misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment (with "antidepressants") of millions of patients. And with the new 5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5), the trend of inappropriate treatment is sure to continue. Urging that the diagnosis of depression be re-thought, this book turns a dramatic page in the understanding of psychiatric symptoms that are as common as the common cold. A gripping historical argument on psychiatric diagnosis and its flawed heritage and future."--Jacket.

Dyslexia in higher education : anxiety and coping skills / by Abbott-Jones, Amanda T.,1969-author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Dyslexia in adult students -- Dyslexia, anxiety and social/emotional barriers in higher education -- Theories of anxiety and coping -- Identification of the prevalence of anxiety -- Effects of dyslexia and emotional responses to academic tasks -- Cognitive techniques to overcome barriers to learning -- Emotional techniques to overcome barriers to learning -- Theoretical insights on dyslexic anxiety and coping responses -- Concluding thoughts and moving forwards."Current book publications in the form of study skills books for dyslexic higher education students written by dyslexia practitioners and education professionals have to date been focused on the delivery of effective cognitive study skills strategies with less emphasis on supporting students with developing techniques to manage anxiety and stress in relating to their academic courses. Yet, if negative emotional consequences of dyslexia are exacerbated, and if there is little understanding from published materials in the field of dyslexia of the association between dyslexia and negative emotion for the dyslexic higher education student, this could have a more harmful impact on student progression than the cognitive deficits connected with their dyslexia"--

Choke : what the secrets of the brain reveal about getting it right when you have to / by Beilock, Sian.;

Includes bibliographical references (p. [267]-280) and index."Why do the smartest students often do poorly on standardized tests?" "Why did you tank that interview or miss that golf swing when you should have had it in the bag?" "Why do you mess up when it matters the most---and how can you perform your best instead?" "It happens to all of us. You've prepared for days, weeks, even years for the big day when you will finally show your stuff---in academics, in your career, in sports---but when the big moment arrives, nothing seems to work. You hit the wrong note, drop the ball, get stumped by a simple question. In other words, you choke. It's not fun to think about, but now there's good news: This doesn't have to happen." "Dr. Sian Beilock, an expert on performance and brain science, reveals in Choke the astonishing new science of why we all too often blunder when the stakes are high. What happens in our brain and body when we experience the dreaded performance anxiety? And what are we doing differently when everything magically "clicks" into place and the perfect golf swing, tricky test problem, or high-pressure business pitch becomes easy? In an energetic tour of the latest brain science, with surprising insights on every page, Beilock explains the inescapable links between body and mind; reveals the surprising similarities among the ways performers, students, athletes, and business people choke; and shows how to succeed brilliantly when it matters most." "In lively prose and accessibly rendered science, Beilock examines how attention and working memory guide human performance, how experience and practice and brain development interact to create our abilities, and how stress affects all these factors. She sheds new light on counterintuitive realities, like why the highest performing people are most susceptible to choking under pressure, why we may learn foreign languages best when we're not paying attention, why early childhood athletic training can backfire, and how our emotions can make us both smarter and dumber. All these fascinating findings about academic, athletic, and creative intelligence come together in Beilock's new ideas about performance under pressure---and her secrets to never choking again. Whether you're at the Olympics, in the boardroom, or taking the SAT, Beilock's clear, prescriptive guidance shows how to remain cool under pressure---the key to performing well when everything's on the line."--BOOK JACKET.
