        Graphic Lives - Ava

        by Jo Browning Wroe, Carol Holliday

        Graphic Lives is a series of highly engaging graphic novels for young people who may need counselling and psychotherapy. Each book introduces the difficulties faced by a teenage character and follows them as they travel on their therapeutic journey with a skilled and creative therapist. The key aims of these books are: to demystify counselling and psychotherapy so that it is more appealing and accessible to young people; to destigmatise emotional and mental health problems so that young people are better able to accept help; to encourage young people to embark upon their own healing journeys, equipped with the sense that there is a way forward. Sixteen year-olds Ava and Jade are obsessed with food, calories, and staying thin. Pleased with the many compliments they receive they push themselves into anorexia. Ava's mother is alarmed by her daughter's weight loss and forces her into therapy with the school counsellor, Steph. However after only two sessions Steph touches a raw nerve, Ava storms out and refuses to continue. Only when Jade is admitted to hospital does Ava return to therapy, where she begins to understand the causes of her anorexic tendencies.

        Y avait-il des limites si oui je les ai franchies mais c'était par amour ok

        by Michelle Lapierre-Dallaire

        WERE THERE LIMITS IF SO I CROSSED THEM BUT IT WAS OUT OF LOVE OK? In this uncompromising work of autofiction, the author attempts to reconcile herself to a world that endlessly denies her voice, her femininity and her trauma.  Summary Michelle’s life starts in early childhood with unspeakable abuse that will haunt her into adulthood.  The narrator suffers from borderline personality disorder, which blurs the line between excessive behaviour and hypersensitivity, revealing a woman furiously attached to the need to love and be loved.  The first book by Michelle Lapierre is disarmingly, unsettlingly frank. A rare incursion into the borderline psyche, Were There Limits… features a kaleidoscope of barely bearable scenes and luminous reflections on mental illness, family, romantic relationships—told in breathtakingly beauty prose.  *** French sample : https://flipbook.cantook.net/?d=%2F%2Fwww.entrepotnumerique.com%2Fflipbook%2Fpublications%2F111787.js&oid=255&c=&m=&l=&r=&f=pdf See other PDF for English sample.

        Anorexie und Bulimie bei Mädchen in der Pubertät

        by Kremser, Bettina

        Half of all girls with normal weight consider themselves as too fat. One out of five teenagers in Germany shows symptoms of an eating disorder. But what exactly are eating disorders? Why do anorexia and bulimia mostly occur among girls, and why during puberty? Which causes are underlying and how can the psychological factor be evaluated in the framing concept of etiology? Anorexics starve off pound after pound, while bulimics try to undo their eating binges with vomiting or other regulatory measures – it appears that they would pay any price to meet the ideal of the attractive, thin woman, including mistreating their body and ignoring the physical and psychological impacts. As if this was not enough, many affected people also suffer from comorbid diseases such as depression, personality disorders or obsessive/compulsive disorders – among others. When searching for causes, a lot of different factors surface. The etiology model is based on biological, familial, socio/cultural and psychological pillars. When comparing anorexia and bulimia, some consonances are diagnosed, but also many differences. Great discipline, control, a need for harmony, fear and introversion are typically found among people with anorexia nervosa, while bulimics are often less controlled and enduring, more impulsive, emotional, short/tempered and extroverted, as well as not being afraid of their own sexuality. When a certain genetic predisposition is given, the psyche can suffer when exposed to certain external stimuli. Bio/psycho/social models are increasingly being consulted as a means of explanation for psychological illnesses. This book gives a comprehensive overview of the complex issue, while also containing a selection of therapeutic approaches and methods of prevention to help sufferers find the courage to conquer their illness.

        NO LABELS: Men in Relationship with Anorexia

        by Derek Botha

        In NO LABELS: Men in Relationship with Anorexia, DerekBotha argues that traditional understandings of and approaches to diagnosis and treatment for anorexia nervosa are unacceptable, inappropriate and laden with labelling ways, and thus exacerbate these men's struggles, leaving them dishonoured, disabled, powerless and even more distressed.  He presents alternative ways of understanding the nature of their social positionings as well as a more appropriate therapy for them, namely narrative therapy.NO LABELS: Men in Relationship with Anorexia contributes to meaningful dialogue amongst mental health academics, practioners, students and all who have an interest in seeking fresh understandings of these men and their complex positionings.

        LIFE AFTER

        My Journey from Starvation to Salvation

        by Ariana Aboulafia

        Ariana Aboulafia was twenty-one years old when she was told by the physician that she had six weeks left to live, if she could not survive from the disturbing and mysterious symptoms, especially the devastating nausea and drastic weight. But three months earlier, Ariana just graduated from college, fond of hiking and gym, enjoying the energetic youth like the others and moved from Los Angeles to Miami to start law school. How did this happen?   In this compelling and reflecting memoir, Ariana chronicles her stories and struggle to find the right diagnosis and her fight against a rare disease that almost caused her to starve to death. Told in an accessible and engaging manner, it is not just a journey to get through what Ariana was suffering and experiences, to fully reveal a patient’s physical, psychological and emotional statuses that are hard to be recognized by around, but a compelling and inspiring story about the healing power derived from family, love, friendship and faith, as well as her reflection and meditation about the society, philosophy, religion, marriage, life and the national healthcare systems. This page-tuner manuscript is completed with approximately 93,000 words, and has a similar tone with the New York Times bestseller Paul Kalanithi’s “When Breath Becomes Air”.

        Ascópolis

        by José Ángel Balmori

        Ascópolis turns the most tragic stories into absurdities and scenes of endless laughter. The grotesque and the gore, the cheesy and the dirty are its specialties. He prefers scoundrels to heroes. "Ascópolis" has no moral sense, no scruples. It wants to make people laugh more than presenting a great reflection. They are visceral short stories with unrelenting honesty that might annoy anyone.

        The Church

        by Avgust Demšar

        The Church is a typical whodunnit crime novel. The crimes once again take place in native Slovenian surroundings, mostly in the fictitious village of Vodnjaki, where it seems that a special type of evil resides. The tenth, jubilee novel by Demšar is more extensive, the story is more complex and the side stories are even more surprising. The author lures us into a whirlwind of events and holds the reader in suspense even when he delves into the relationships between his mainstay characters known from his previous novels and their characterisation. The rising action that triggers further events is the murder of a high-level church dignitary. Even before the criminal investigators can get down to work, new murders and crimes are reported. In addition to the main storyline, Demšar touches on many different current social issues. This intensely suspenseful read full of intellectual challenges leads the reader on a path to solving an exceptionally complex case.

        Protected Nutrient Technology for Crossbred Cattle

        by S.H. Mane & Y.G. Fulpagare

        The feeding management plays an important role in sustaining higher milk production in high producing dairy animals and especially nutrition during transition period of dairy animals during 3 weeks prior and 3 weeks after parturition is critically important to health, production and profitability of dairy. Nutrition and management of cows during the transition period has received tremendous interest in recent years in developed countries but relatively less attention is being paid in the developing countries like India. With understanding of role of energy and protein nutrition in managing the transition period some technologies like protected fat and protein alone or in combination has been practiced by few dairy farmers but many are still ignorant about it. The experimental results obtained with the use of these technologies have been discussed in greater depth in this book with emphasis on its profitable effect on early lactation performance and post partum reproduction. The role of energy nutrients as by pass fat and protein as by pass protein in isolation and in combination has also been discussed in the light of regaining the positive energy balance state after the parturition and its association with increased milk yield and improved post partum reproduction
