Mind the science : saving your mental health from the wellness industry / by Stea, Jonathan N.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A clinical psychologist who regularly deals with some of society's most vulnerable exposes and debunks the predatory pseudoscience and grift of the multi-trillion-dollar wellness industry and points us towards a better way to take care of our mental health. Can the unbroken gaze of a lone man on a stage in front of hundreds of people truly alleviate their mental distress? Can Berlin Wall pills or a coffee enema cure depression? Can we improve our mental health with past-life regression therapy, cold-water shock therapy, rebirthing therapy ... try none of the above. Wellness grifters and alternative-health snake oil salesmen are everywhere these days, and when our medical systems are under stress (and we are, too!) these costly purveyors of false hope are worse than a waste of money, they can lead us to delay badly needed care from real professionals, exacerbate our conditions and, in the most tragic of cases, even kill us. Today, people looking to care for their mental health face a market with at least 600 "brands" of psychotherapy-and counting. Most are invalid, and many could be harmful. There exist countless unregulated providers of mental-health services in the $4.5 trillion USD wellness industry and alternative medicine community who market themselves as "life coaches," "wellness consultants," and-depending on particular countries and jurisdictions-other various non-legally-protected titles, such as "therapists," "psychotherapists," "counselors," and "practitioners." Looking to exploit people's financial and emotional vulnerabilities, anyone can call themselves a "therapist" without a license. The world of mental healthcare is very much caveat emptor: buyer beware. Having seen so many of his patients hurt by the pseudoscience circulating in the industry, Dr. Jonathan N. Stea is on a mission to expose its harm and protect the public from pseudoscientific mental-health misinformation. In a landscape of rampant burnout and at a time when mental health concerns are at a fever pitch, Mind the Science provides hope and real information to those who have been touched by mental illness, have been misled by false marketing, or are simply curious about the relationship between science and mental health."--

Gigi Durham, Margaret Cho, Martha Lauzen, Nancy Pelosi, Pat Mitchell, Rachel Maddow, Rosario Dawson.As the most persuasive and pervasive force of communication in our culture, media is educating yet another generation that a woman's primary value lay in her youth, beauty and sexuality, and not in her capacity as a leader, making it difficult for women to obtain leadership positions and for girls to reach their full potential. The film accumulates startling facts and statistics that leave audiences shaken and armed with a new perspective.E.DVD; NTSC; widescreen presentation (16:9) aspect ratio; Dolby digital 2.0.

Snowden's box : trust in the age of surveillance / by Bruder, Jessica,author.; Maharidge, Dale,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In the summer of 2013, the world was riveted by Edward Snowden's leak of millions of classified documents detailing the US government's massive and secret electronic surveillance program, in which the NSA had infiltrated tech companies, communication systems, emails and phones to spy on, among others, its own citizens. But this digital-age story had an analog side--Snowden mailed printed-out documents to the journalists Jessica Bruder and Dale Maharidge, who hid them in barrels, in an outhouse, and in a tree. Thus began an education in surveillance and counter-surveillance for these two experienced reporters, who were nonetheless completely ignorant about the lack of privacy they--and all of us--now have"--
