This book guides professionals through the process of evaluating whether a mother with a major mental illness is at risk for maltreating her child

Extensive digital content supports the lessons with reproducible forms and a full-color photo of each plant and animal

This formula can be applied as successfully to the body (in asana) as to the breath (in pranayama) and the mind (through meditation)

and intimate relationships in particular serve as key sites for reproducing and challenging patriarchy and paternalism that was hallmark of earlier generations

MM Optimization Algorithms Michael Parker This book guides professionals throughOffers an overview of the MM principle, a device for deriving optimization algorithms satisfying the ascent or descent property. These algorithms can: Separate the variables of a problem. Avoid large matrix inversions. Linearize a problem. Restore symmetry. Deal with equality and inequality constraints gracefully. Turn a non differentiable problem into a smooth problem. The author: Presents the first extended treatment of MM algorithms, which are
