Book Description
Couples and families face daunting challenges as they cope with serious illness and disability. This book gives clinicians a roadmap for helping affected individuals and their loved ones live well with a wide range of child, adult, and later-life conditions. John S. Rolland describes ways to intervene with emerging challenges over the course of long-term or life-threatening disorders. Using vivid case examples, he illustrates how clinicians can help families harness their strengths for positive adaptation and relational growth. Rolland's integrated systemic approach is useful for preventive screening, consultations, brief counseling, more intensive therapy, and multifamily groups, across health care settings and disciplines. This book significantly advances the clinical utility of Rolland’s earlier landmark volume, Families, Illness, and Disability.

Book Description
“A fascinating exploration of the mysteries ignited by DNA genealogy testing—from the intensely personal and concrete to the existential and unsolvable.” —Tana French, New York Times–bestselling author You swab your cheek or spit in a vial, then send it away to a lab somewhere. Weeks later you get a report that might tell you where your ancestors came from or if you carry certain genetic risks. Or, the report could reveal a long-buried family secret that upends your entire sense of identity. Soon a lark becomes an obsession, a relentless drive to find answers to questions at the core of your being, like “Who am I?” and “Where did I come from?” Welcome to the age of home genetic testing. In The Lost Family, journalist Libby Copeland investigates what happens when we embark on a vast social experiment with little understanding of the ramifications. She explores the culture of genealogy buffs, the science of DNA, and the business of companies like Ancestry and 23andMe, all while tracing the story of one woman, her unusual results, and a relentless methodical drive for answers that becomes a thoroughly modern genetic detective story. Gripping and masterfully told, The Lost Family is a spectacular book on a big, timely subject. “An urgently necessary, powerful book that addresses one of the most complex social and bioethical issues of our time.” —Dani Shapiro, New York Times–bestselling author “Before you spit in that vial, read this book.” —The New York Times Book Review “Impeccably researched . . . up-to-the-minute science meets the philosophy of identity in a poignant, engaging debut.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Nobody was expecting this baby! In the quirky town of Clair de Lune, California, the best of plans often go wildly astray. Now an incompatible couple—a tech billionaire and a free-spirited bicycle messenger—receive a shocking surprise: joint parenthood. They’re sure this darling little girl can’t be their baby... until they discover that a recently deceased fertility expert used their genetic donations for her personal family plans. Then she went on vacation, fell off an elephant, and died. Billionaire Jim Bonderoff is sure he will be the best dad ever because he can afford to hire help. Dex Fenton believes his idea of a home is seriously out of whack, and she moves in with him and his peculiar staff to prove it. Thus begins another hilarious romcom by the USA Today bestselling author of Designer Genes and Yours, Mine and Ours. “Jacqueline Diamond writes marvelous romantic comedy.”—reviewer Leena Hyat. Excuse Me? Whose Baby? was originally published by Harlequin.
