Set 1: So, you think you or someone you know has problems? Want to know more about the terms you hear from the talking heads on television? What are all those odd behaviors mentioned in the magazines? Have we got some help for you! And from such an expert: in these Knowledge Cards, psychotherapist and excellent writer Alistair Highet analyzes forty-eight of the most interesting syndromes, disorders, mechanisms, feelings, complexes, phobias, compulsions, and yes, even pharmaceuticals. The front of each card presents the term or phrase; the back offers a concise but thorough explanation. Highet introduces us to Jung and Freud, Ellis and Reich, Kohut and Mahler as he explains Munchausen s syndrome by proxy condition, borderline personality disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and psychosis, to mention only four of the psychological expressions current these days. Size 3 1/4 x 4 inches.

Set 2: 'A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!' 'This above all: to thine own self be true.' 'If you ***** us, do we not bleed?' These lines have become a familiar part of our shared cultural vocabulary, but can we name the Shakespearean plays in which they originated, or who said them and why? In this collection of Knowledge Cards you will learn the origins of forty-eight familiar quotations from William Shakespeare s best-loved works, including (among others) comedies (such as Twelfth Night, Much Ado About Nothing, The Taming of the Shrew), tragedies (King Lear, Hamlet, Macbeth), and historical plays (King John, King Richard III).

These 48 fact-filled Knowledge Cards are a great source of condensed information all in a deck the size of a pack of playing cards! Discover the heights of historic wit and wisdom in this stimulating compilation.
