Here is an 87 per cent success rate. Gillian Bridge is a former English lecturer and psychologist. She combined this training to become a professional Psycholinguistic Consultant. The approach is individual. There is a questionnaire assessment and self-perception analysis. This title presents a step-by-step plan for giving up, getting through tough times and staying that way. Smokers know full well that their problem is in their minds. There are triggers that the mind uses to reinforce their habit. For some it may be a cup of coffee, for others perhaps the telephone. But every time the trigger is pulled they reach for a cigarette. To overcome this problem they need to pre-empt the mind and have a stronger defence in position before they start to stop! In this book, smokers will learn the unique reasons why they smoke and from there how to tailor a personal step-by-step programme that will help them to give up smoking for good. And it's a programme that is 87 per cent successful.

Life's too precious simply to let it slip away. Can there be anyone who doesn't believe that? Yet today there are so many demands upon our time and attention, that life as it ought to be lived has all but deserted us or been forgotten. This wise, gently humourous text introduces us to what is so special about the Sloths! They have the art of their living so beautifully tuned. Where self-help seldom works as expected, Sloth-help provides great personal strengthening and a stress-free lifestyle. Sloth-help fixes relationships, sex, appearance, work, ambition, success, worry and blame and everything else that shouldn't disturb life.

First published in 1999, this volume examines the inclusion of disabled children as a category of children in need under the Children Act 1989 and as eligible for assessments of need under the NHS and Community Care Act 1990 has drawn renewed attention to the plight of these children and their families. This book presents the findings from a study of parents whose child has cerebral palsy. The research undertaken at the cost of social policy change focuses on the apparent gap between the well-argued proposals for community care and the experiences of carers. A bewildering picture emerges of inadequate services and treatments from the health, education and social services in the public, voluntary and private sectors. Parents experience isolation and stress as they explore ways to improve the quality of their children’s lives by experimenting with unregulated and under-researched treatments for an incurable physical condition. The conclusion that there has been deterioration in provision for these families is a serious indictment on current social policy direction.

Cutting its way through the media frenzy, Sweet Distress: How our love affair with feelings has fuelled the current mental health crisis (and what we can do about it) puts emotional wellbeing and resilience centre stage.Using an approach rooted in no-nonsense logic, author and psycholinguistic consultant Gillian Bridge delves into a range of problems which seem to be most frequently cited as sources of mental distress. These include stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, body image, eating disorders, social media, substance abuse, behavioural disorders, academic pressures and bullying.The author explores how these issues have led to seemingly insurmountable emotional problems and takes a few potshots at some of the things that have contributed to turning life events that may, at other times or in other places, have been little more than nuisances or inconveniences into sources of genuine psychic pain.Packed with realistic and effective takeaway strategies for parents and educators, Sweet Distress challenges under-researched but over-promoted ideology and shares evidence-based help and advice for anyone wanting to improve the mental health of those they care about.The book focuses on offering that help in a practical way, so at the end of chapters 5 to 10, which deal with specific issues, there are sections of particular value to parents, would-be parents, teachers and those in the business of young people's mental health, such as counsellors and therapists. Likewise, towards the end of the book Gillian has gathered together some selected material into 'a call to action' which will reiterate and reinforce some of the most practical and achievable lifestyle advice contained throughout.Suitable for parents, educators, counsellors and therapists.
