Hardback. Zustand: Good. From Freud to Zoloft, the first comprehensive history of American psychotherapy. Fifty percent of Americans will undergo some form of psychotherapy in their lifetimes, but the origins of the field are rarely known to patients. Yet the story of psychotherapy in America brims with colorful characters, intriguing experimental treatments, and intense debates within this community of healers. American Therapy begins, as psychotherapy itself does, with the monumental figure of Sigmund Freud. The book outlines the basics of Freudian theory and discusses the peculiarly powerful influence of Freud on the world of American mental health. It then moves through the emergence of group therapy, the rise of psychosurgery, the evolution of uniquely American therapies such as Gestalt, rebirthing, and primal scream therapy, and concludes with the modern world of psychopharmacology, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and highly targeted short-term therapies. For a counseled nation that freely uses terms such as emotional baggage and no longer stigmatizes mental health care, American Therapy is a remarkable history of an extraordinary enterprise.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Written for nonexperts, this is a brisk, engaging history of American healthcare from the advent of Medicare and Medicaid in the 1960s to the impact of the Affordable Care Act in the 2010s. Step by step, Jonathan Engel shows how we arrived at our present convoluted situation, where generic drug prices can jump 1,000 percent in a day and primary care physicians can lose a fifth of their income at the stroke of a Congressional pen. Unaffordable covers topics ranging from health insurance, pharmaceutical pricing, and physician training to health maintenance organizations and hospital networks. Engel offers comparisons with other nations and provides insights on ethical quandaries around end-of-life decisions, neonatal care, life-sustaining treatments, and the limits of our ability to define death. While describing the political origins of many of the federal and state laws that govern our healthcare system today, he never loses sight of the impact that healthcare delivery has on our wallets and on the balance sheets of hospitals, doctors' offices, government agencies, and private companies.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. The story of AIDS is one of the most compelling human dramas of our time, both in the tragedy it has created and the extraordinary scientific and humanitarian efforts it has inspired. For gay Americans, AIDS has devastated and re-defined the community. It has ravaged developing nations, toppling economies and destabilizing social structures. And the worst is yet to come; AIDS continues to expand, virtually unchecked, into new territory. Medical historian Jonathan Engel seamlessly weaves together science, politics, and culture to tell the tumultuous and heartbreaking story of this terrible disease. As rival groups battle over issues like personal morality, legislation, funding and education, AIDS continues to spread.
