Everything You Always Wanted to Ask Your Gynecologist
This well-written guide provides answers to over 200 questions commonly asked by women. Sixteen
easy-to-read chapters cover every gynelogical concern, from menarche to menopause. Dr. Scott Thornton, a
gynecologist, and his wife, Dr. Kathleen Schramm, a psychiatrist, provide a unique perspective on women's
health, answering such commonly asked questions as How should I choose a gynecologist?, What can I do
if I have PMS?, and When will I reach menopause?. This book is highly recommended for any woman
interested in knowing how her body works. These down-to-earth explanations are sure to dispel many of the
myths and misconceptions that have been passed down through many generations.
My favorite recommended workbook for people who are looking for effective, down-to-Earth strategies
for learning to cope with their anger. The approach is hands-on, so be prepared to do some writing and
actively put into practice the suggestions and exercises the author outlines in every chapter.
The author explains how anger works in our lives, how it perpetuates, and how to recognize it not only in your own life, but in others as well. Once you begin to recognize the types of things which make you angry ("triggers"), the author provides helpful exercises to find more effective ways of expressing your feelings, controlling, or reducing the anger.
The great thing about this book is that these are all skills you could easily learn in therapy.
This is a good book to read if you're feeling a lot of stress. It details the program used at the Stress Reduction
Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. Some very interesting topics and a lot of good
ideas.
Similar to Tom Linden's guide below, but Dr. Ferguson's effort is newer and takes a slightly different
perspective, one that is more personal and compelling. It is a comprehensive guide to all health topics
online. It includes major sections on each of the commercial service providers like America OnLine, as
well as the Internet, and, like Tom's book, serves up personal stories who have been helped by the
resources found online.
Tom Ferguson, M.D. has been a driving force in the self-help field of medicine and related disorders and
brings his expertise to this book. It really empowers you, the consumer, to find useful and timely
information online in a productive manner. It's an excellent offering which will easily stand the test of time. If you can only buy one
online guide to medicine, this is the one to purchase today.
