  4. Bonding


1) Depression

This book is a guide that provides clear answers and explains how to get help when depressed. This is a common and growing problem. In its milder form, depression might seem little different from the sadness or low mood that we all feel from time to time. As the illness progresses, however, work, social life and initimate relationships all suffer and normal life becomes impossible. This sensitive and thorough book explains clearly what depressive disorders involve and gives real guidance on how to get the proper treatment.

2) Coping With Angina

The book offers practical self-help advice on the management of angina, including stress, relaxation techniques and how a person's personality affects the health of his heart, exercise, smoking and diet. Stress and mental attitude have been shown to be major factors in angina and one of the most important things one can do to help oneself is to learn to deal with everyday stresses. The book gives practical advice to help you live an active, pain-free life.

3) Hot Mamas

This book is a guide for moms-to-be who want to nurture their sex lives along with their growing bellies. The book addresses many of the questions and concerns women are too embarrassed to ask their doctors. Topics include detailed explanations of how the biological and emotional changes during pregnancy can impact sexuality, self image and relationships - including the months after the baby is born, why pregnancy can significantly enhance a woman's organs and sex drive, how to take care of during and after pregnancy, etc.

4) Bonding

This book offers a new way of looking at what parents and caregivers can do to facilitate healthy bonding with their children, giving them the greatest gift of all - strong sense of feeling secure and helping them to develop a sense of basic trust. The bonds formed between parent and child are central to each individual's well-being and are possibly the most important of all human attachments. They are also crucial in shaping the child's development.
