|  | Reviving Ophelia by Linda Stephens, Mary Pipher
According to the author, adolescence is a time when girls begin to separate from their parents, emotionally, and intellectually. Their source of guidance distanced, they often turn to readily available authorities--the media, mass marketing, and their peers--for advice. The messages can be damaging and often result in a dramatic loss of self-esteem. Dr. Pipher illustrates her points with case studies and explains the behaviors of adolescent girls, their socialization, and the damaging ways they cope with stress. Essential reading for any parent of the teenaged girl. AUTHOR: Linda Stephens, Mary Pipher

 | A. D. D. & Romance by Jonathan S. Halverstadt
Maintaining a romantic relationship is difficult. Maintaining a relationship where one or both partners have A.D.D. is next to impossible ... or is it? In A.D.D. and Romance, licensed therapist Jonathan Scott Halverstadt looks at how attention deficit disorder can damage romantic relationships when partners do not take time, or do not know how, to address this unique problem. The book aims to give people with A.D.D. and their partners the tools they need to build and sustain a more satisfying and fulfilling relationship. Halverstadt advises on how to foster empathy and respect between partners in an A.D.D. relationship, focusing on issues such as how A.D.D. factors into the selection of romantic partners; the problems A.D.D. creates in relationships; the strengths A.D.D. brings to relationships; the challenges of good communication in an A.D.D. relationship; sexual intimacy and A.D.D.; long-term challenges for A.D.D. relationships; and coping when a relationship fails.
