Lisa M. Najavits Seeking Safety: A Treatment Manual For PTSD and Substance Abuse
This manual presents the first empirically studied, integrative treatment approach developed specifically for PTSD and substance abuse. For persons with this dual diagnosis, the most urgent clinical need is to establish safety - to work toward discontinuing substance use, letting go of dangerous relationships, and gaining control over such extreme symptoms as dissociation and self-harm. The manual is divided into 25 topics, each of which forms the basis for one or more sessions. Covering a range of cognitive, behavioral, and interpersonal issues, topics include practical tools and techniques to engage patients in treatment; teach "safe coping skills" that apply to both disorders; and restore respect, care, protection, and healing. Sessions can be conducted in any order and in a range of settings. Includes reproducible handouts and forms.

Antonio Damasio Self Comes to Mind
Constructing the Conscious Brain Antonio Damasio has spent the past thirty years researching and and revealing how the brain works. Here, in his most ambitious and stunning work yet, he rejects the long-standing idea that consciousness is somehow separate from the body, and presents compelling new scientific evidence that posits an evolutionary perspective. His view entails a radical change in the way the history of the conscious mind is viewed and told, suggesting that the brains development of a human self is a challenge to natures indifference. This development helps to open the way for the appearance of culture, perhaps one of our most defining characteristics as thinking and self-aware beings.

Irvin D. Yalom Staring at the Sun: Overcoming the Terror of Death
Written in Irvin Yalom's inimitable story-telling style, Staring at the Sun is a profoundly encouraging approach to the universal issue of mortality. In this magisterial opus, capping a lifetime of work and personal experience, Dr. Yalom helps us recognize that the fear of death is at the heart of much of our anxiety. Such recognition is often catalyzed by an "awakening experience"—a dream, or loss (the death of a loved one,divorce, loss of a job or home), illness, trauma, or aging. Once we confront our own mortality, Dr. Yalom writes, we are inspired to rearrange our priorities, communicate more deeply with those we love, appreciate more keenly the beauty of life, and increase our willingness to take the risks necessary for personal fulfillment.
