It’s not your age that’s causing half of those lines and crinkles It’s your life.

Now, Amy Wechsler, MD shows you how to de-stress your skin and take years—years—off your face.

In 9 days.

Liking the way you look is vital to your health and happiness But that’s not easy when life runs at warp speed—you’re simultaneously coping with ever-increasing demands: dependent kids, aging parents, or both; shopping; cooking; laundry; money pressures; and more, more, more. Good bet you’re super-stressed, tightly wound, sleep-deprived—and it shows.

Sure, but your thirties you’ve accumulated the first signs of normal aging: crow’s feet, a bit of safe, some broken capillaries. But stress aging—how the madness of modern life affects your physical features inside and out—is today’s biggest skin and health challenge.

Happily, stress aging is very reversible. And it takes only a few days. While you may never be able to totally turn off all the pressure (if only!), Dr. Wechsler has plenty of combination strategies—from her own favorite stress buster to her number one wrinkle reverser—to help you turn back the aging effects of tension and time. She’ll also teach you how to slow down and, to some degree, reverse the natural aging process. This is your guide to feeling, looking, and living young.

In her book, she shows you how to:

-Find out your SkinAge with a groundbreaking test that reveals how old (or young!) you really look
-Personalize a 9-day renewal plan that’s right for your face, wallet, and psyche
-Understand the different cosmetic procedures and products available today
-Adopt a mind-beauty regimen that will keep your skin—correction: your whole body—looking and feeling terrific—not just for now, but for life.

The mind-beauty connection is powerful and can dramatically affect how well—and how fast—you age. The rewards for soling it go far beyond a quick fix. They’re transforming. You’ll not only look better, you’ll also sleep better, feel better, and likely lose unwanted weight as you begin to feel healthier, less stress, and more alive.

Ready for a whole new you?

Open this book and let’s start!

Amy Wechsler, MD, is a dermatologist and a psychiatrist, one of only two doctors in the country who are board-certified in both specialties.

Dr. Wechsler practices in New York City, where she lives with her husband and two kids. She is a member of the RealAge Scientific Advisory Board. .

The classic text--now updated with a new interpretive approach to the WAIS?-III

Assessing Adolescent and Adult Intelligence, the classic text from Alan Kaufman and Elizabeth Lichtenberger, has consistently provided the most comprehensive source of information on cognitive assessment of adults and adolescents. The newly updated Third Edition provides important enhancements and additions that highlight the latest research and interpretive methods for the WAIS?-III.

Augmenting the traditional "sequential" and "simultaneous" WAIS?-III interpretive methods, the authors present a new approach derived from Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) theory. This approach combines normative assessment (performance relative to age peers) with ipsative assessment (performance relative to the person's own mean level). Following Flanagan and Kaufman's work to develop a similar CHC approach for the WISC?-IV, Kaufman and Lichtenberger have applied this system to the WAIS?-III profile of scores along with integrating recent WAIS?-III literature.

Four appendices present the new method in depth. In addition to a detailed description, the authors provide a blank interpretive worksheet to help examiners make the calculations and decisions needed for applying the additional steps of the new system, and norms tables for the new WAIS?-III subtest combinations added in this approach.

Assessing Adolescent and Adult Intelligence remains the premier resource for the field, covering not only the WAIS?-III but also the WJ III?, the KAIT, and several brief measures of intelligence, as well as laying out a relevant, up-to-date discussion of the discipline. The new, theory-based interpretive approach for the WAIS?-III makes this a vital resource for practicing psychologists, as well as a comprehensive text for graduate students..
