Jessica Kingsley Publishers From Thoughts to Obsessions: Obsessive Compulsive
Book Synopsis'By far the best chapters are those derived from the author's clinical experience, particularly a good account of the significant social problems experienced by those with severe OCD. There is a helpful chapter on obsessive symptoms as part of normal development, and a reasonable account of differential diagnosis. He reviews some of his own ideas, such as that of co-existent `empathy disorder', which he describes in 25% of young people with OCD. Overall, the book displays the warmth and understanding that the author has for young people with OCD, describes the need for increased awareness and recognition of this illness, and would provide a reasonable starting point for someone learning about paediatric OCD.' - European Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry 'The book displays the warmth and understanding that the author has for young people with OCD, describes the need for increased awareness and recognition of this illness, and would provide a reasonable starting point for someone learning about paediatric OCD. This introductory book, richly illustrated with case examples, explains the nature and treatment of OCD in children and adolescents. Written for parents and relatives as well as doctors, teachers and other professionals working with this group of patients, this book defines OCD and forms a straightforward explanation of the symptoms, assessment procedures and treatment strategies.' - Autism-Europe Link 'Per Hove Thomsen's brief, clear and accurate book places Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, a condition that is still poorly understood and often missed in young people, within a spectrum. it acknowledges the torment experienced by the children and adolescents who are suffering from the disorder, as well as their families. As Thomsen says, it is important to see that the young person is the victim of an illness, which needs treatment. The book describes the illness in a way that is accessible to a wide audience of parents, teenagers and teachers. The numerous case studies will help to reduce young people's sense of isolation, and increase their understanding of their condition. Thomsen keeps psychiatric jargon to a minimum and carefully explains the terms that he does use. His emphasis on the disturbing thoughts that victims suffer is particularly helpful and likely to reduce the fear of insanity that is often a great burden to them.' - Times Educational Supplement Special Needs 'it is a compact book, easy to understand and helpful as an overview of OCD.' - Napot Journal Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is the term given to a condition characterized by recurring obsessive thoughts or actions. These thoughts or actions are involuntary and are often a response to a deep-rooted fear. This introductory book, richly illustrated with case examples, explains the nature and treatment of OCD in children and adolescents. OCD has been little discussed in relation to this age group, although it is now believed that approximately 1 per cent of all children and adolescents suffers from serious obsessive disorders. Written for parents and relatives as well as doctors, teachers and other professionals working with this group of patients, From Thoughts to Obsessions defines OCD and forms a straightforward explanation of the symptoms, assessment procedures and treatment strategies. Per Hove Thomsen also examines obsessive features which may form part of normal adolescent development as well as the relationship of OCD to other psychiatric conditions.Table of ContentsPreface. 1. Definition of OCD. 2. Background to the condition. 3. The clinical picture. 4. How widespread is OCD? 5. Cultural aspects of OCD. 6. Obsessive compulsive features in normal development. 7.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Pervasive Developmental Disorder: An Altered
Book SynopsisPervasive Developmental Disorder, or PDD, is the umbrella term used to cover the whole family of autistic spectrum disorders - including autism and Asperger Syndrome. Within this group there is a subgroup called NOS - not otherwise specified - which covers the conditions which do not quite meet the diagnostic criteria for autism or Asperger Syndrome. Because PDD covers such a wide spectrum, it presents very differently from child to child.Written principally for parents, this is a book which explains what it means for your child to be diagnosed with PDD, NOS, autism or Asperger Syndrome, and where you go from there. The authors describe the symptoms of PDD, what a diagnosis means, how a child fits into the diagnostic terminology and the diagnostic procedures involved. They also review associated disorders such as OCD, and discuss the different treatments and therapies available.The book includes frequently-asked questions, as well as the experiences of other parents. It is accessible, informative and supportive, a practical introduction to PDD.Trade Review`Writing mainly for parents, the authors provide realistic and practical information, richly brought to life by the stories of families in which even the simplest of events (such as going shopping or cutting hair) is frighteningly complex. The theme that runs through this survey of play, language and social reciprocity is that autistic individuals have a unique world view. No form of intervention, no matter how intensively pursued, can or should change this altered perspective. Sensibly, these authors put parents at the helm of decision-making, and they describe a wide range of educational opportunities that can enable autistic individuals to function more effectively in the family, at school or at work, including techniques based on behaviour modification. It explains components of programmes such as the picture exchange communication system (PECS), applied behavioural analysis (ABA) and TEACCH. "Different methods work for different children," they write, displaying a pragmatism that is the real strength of this excellent guide.' -- Times Educational SupplementTable of ContentsPreface. 1. What is Pervasive Developmental Disorder? 2. Social Reciprocity. 3. Communication. 4. Impairment in Play Style. 5. More Characteristics. 6. The Evaluation Process. 7. What can be Done? A Medical Perspective. 8. What can be Done? An Educational Perspective. 9. Additional Options. 10. Up Close and Personal: Parents Share their Stories. References. Index.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Using Yoga to Promote Mental Health in Children
Book SynopsisThe intention for this book is to outline a framework of clinical yoga therapy practice that addresses the whole child, rather than solely their symptoms. As such, collections of behaviors and clinical symptoms that have tended to co-occur in children will be addressed. The book will explore at least five developmental stages in the growth of children and adolescents, and general guidelines of how to adapt yoga practices for children of different ages and stages. Individuals of any age who suffer from chronic pain deal with a mind-body crisis on a regular basis. The book will explore the all-consuming effects of chronic pain and how children at different ages can learn to cope with it. Yoga for mood regulation in general will be covered and as well as how to differentially apply yoga techniques when the child/teen is experiencing primarily depressive or anxious symptomatology, or eating disorders. Yoga practices for trauma will be covered by age group, since the experience of trauma is radically different from one age to the next.Sensory integration and developmental disabilities will be addressed and illustrations will be used to assist the clinician in developing yoga practices that help child/teen integrate sensory experience. Yoga practices that involve kinesthetic, auditory and visual repetition help these kids stay connected to the world around them, and bring relief from the hallucinations. A Practice Library will be a visual index of all asanas, pranayamas, and other yoga practices discussed throughout the book and the Index will cover both psychological and yogic terms used in the book.Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1 Adaptations for developmental stages Chapter 2 Chronic Pain Chapter 3 Mood regulation, eating disorders and body image issues Chapter 4 Trauma Chapter 5 Suicidal Ideation and self-injurious behavior Chapter 6 Sensory Integration and developmental disabilities Chapter 7 Hallucinations Chapter 8 Practice Library Index

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Scientific Basis of Cancer Chemotherapy
Book SynopsisThe European Organization for Research into Cancer Treatment (OERTC), founded in 1962 initially under the name Groupe Europeen de Chimiotherapie Anti cancereuse (GECA), is an extramural European Institute for collecting, co-ordinating and encouraging the work of scientists researching into cancer treatment at 16 European institutes: 3 in W. Germany, 2 in Italy, 2 in Belgium, 3 in the Netherlands, 2 in the United Kingdom, 1 in Switzerland and 3 in France. The first President of OERTC was Professor GEORGES MATHE, now succeeded by Professor SILVIO GARATTINI of Milan. The organization has a Board of 20 Directors, responsible for co-ordinating the entire range of activities and guiding research and experimental studies on animals, also the first human trials of new therapeutic agents which have been fully tested on animals. The Co-operating Groups carry out com plementary testing involving large numbers of patients. Thus, OER TC is not a "learned society" but an agency for co-ordinating work. OER TC's annual plenary meeting for 1968 was held in Paris on 22nd and 23rd March. It was given over to an intensive study of the scientific basis of chemotherapy in the treatment of cancer in man. These two working sessions brought together members of all groups, both directing and co-operating. The first day was in effect a teaching seminar, open to all practitioners wishing to use chemotherapy in cancer, and explaining the scientific basis of such treatment. This seminar constitutes the present monograph.Table of ContentsAnti-Cancer Agents.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Die Kunst des klugen Umgangs mit Konflikten: Über
Book SynopsisInnere und äußere Konflikte bringen uns allzu oft an den Rand der Überforderung und übersteigen unsere Kräfte. Aber wie auch immer wir natürlicherweise agieren - ob konfliktscheu mit Helfersyndrom, kämpferisch mit Siegermentalität oder als Elefant mit guter Absicht im Porzellanladen - wir können Konflikte in den Griff bekommen. Ob wir nun zum sozialen, zum Ordnungsstruktur- oder zum Erkenntnistyp gehören, es gibt für jeden Persönlichkeitstyp passende Strategien, um mit Konflikten klug umzugehen. Welcher Typ in welche Konfliktsituationen gerät und wie er damit umgeht, schildert Ruth Enzler Denzler anhand von eindrücklichen Geschichten aus ihrem breiten praxisbezogenen, psychologischen Fundus - mit großem Gespür für ein sensibles Thema und immer wieder auch mit einem Augenzwinkern. "In meinem letzten Buch Keine Angst vor Montagmorgen habe ich ansatzweise begonnen, Menschen die psychologische Seite des Alltags – Probleme und Lösungsansätze - in Form von Kurzgeschichten Fachpersonen näher zu bringen. Das führe ich mit diesem Buch weiter fort und eröffne damit auch einem psychologisch interessierten Laienpublikum den Zugang. Die Psychologie ist, in kürzester Form erklärt, die Lehre vom menschlichen Erleben und Verhalten. Und natürlich erlebt und interpretiert jeder von uns die Dinge unterschiedlich und jeder hat seine eigene Sicht auf die Welt. Daraus resultiert sein individuelles Verhalten, leiten sich Empfinden, unterschiedliche Ängste, Bedürfnisse, Motive und Lebensthemen ab. Und dies führt wiederum zu unterschiedlichen Konfliktsituationen, die für die einzelnen Akteure Stress auslösend sind und die Lebensqualität stark einschränken können. In meinen beiden früheren Büchern habe ich auf wissenschaftlicher Basis drei verschiedene Persönlichkeitstypen herausgearbeitet, auf die ich mich auch in diesem Buch beziehe. Diesmal sollen psychologische Einsichten anhand von Geschichten auf neue, spannende Art und in gut nachzuvollziehender Weise vermittelt werden."

Book SynopsisWe live in an age of obsession. But obsession is not only a phenomenon of modern existence: it is a medical category. Beginning with the roots of the disease in demonic possession and its secular successors, this work traces the evolution of obsessive behavior from a social and religious fact of life into a medical and psychiatric problem.Trade Review"This is an engaging book which I read with considerable - dare I say, obsessive? - enjoyment.... The book is laced with rich examples exemplifying obsessional people and their work." - Christine Purdon, Times Higher Education "Intellectually bold and constantly insightful.... Manages to link Moby-Dick and the TV show Monk." - Julia Keller, Chicago Tribune "Those with a keen interest in (or perhaps an obsession with) obsession and its place in human culture will enjoy Davis's book." - Melinda Wenner, Scientific American Mind "If you should pick up the book expecting an obsessively thorough discourse, you won't be disappointed. But Davis is a fine writer, and he grabs the reader at the outset by confessing his own childhood rituals." - Deanna Isaacs, Chicago Reader "Beautifully written and impeccably - perhaps obsessively - researched: important reading for anyone interested in inescapable fascinations." - Kirkus Reviews "A witty and interesting historical tour of a fascinating subject." - Ian Brooks, Nature"

But Davis is a fine writer, and he grabs the reader at the outset by confessing his own childhood rituals." - Deanna Isaacs, Chicago Reader "Beautifully written and impeccably - perhaps obsessively - researched: important reading for anyone interested in inescapable fascinations." - Kirkus Reviews "A witty and interesting historical tour of a fascinating subject." - Ian Brooks, Nature"

Columbia University Press The Therapist in Mourning
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewTherapists have long felt required to keep their own emotional wounds and pain hidden from their patients. As finite human beings we are all subject to the traumas of death and loss, and I applaud this volume for bringing our existential vulnerabilities into a professional dialogue. Our patients can only benefit from this open and gripping acknowledgment of our existential kinship in the same darkness. -- Robert Stolorow, Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis, Los Angeles For therapists whose life work is caring for others, this book is an essential read. Theoretically sophisticated, insightful, and moving, the contributors address experiences of loss in therapy that have barely garnered passing consideration. By drawing our attention to the dynamics of grief and loss in the clinical situation, the authors have also, with great poignancy, underscored the beauty and meaning of therapeutic relationships. -- Brian Rasmussen, University of British Columbia, Okanagan Rarely does one come across a book that combines good writing, good thinking, and good feeling. Well, here is that book. Adelman and Malawista's assemblage of reports and reflections on the loss of family members, patients, therapists, and institutions enhances our capacity for empathy and attunement with individuals facing such calamities. Their book mobilizes serious contemplation about human relationships that are simultaneously transient and everlasting. A bit of sadness follows, yet such 'good' sadness leads to psychic growth, maturity, and wisdom. -- Salman Akhtar, Jefferson Medical College In this remarkable volume, psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists explore their reactions to their encounter with death and loss: with patients' unexpected death, with their own life-threatening illnesses and personal mourning processes affecting their work, and with their philosophical posture to the challenge of death in health and illness. In the process, the authors reexamine critically psychoanalytic literature on depression and mourning and reveal their personal ways of dealing with experiences of death and mourning. A thought-provoking and moving work that will help mental-health professionals deepen their clinical expertise in dealing with this unavoidable aspect of human experience. -- Otto F. Kernberg, PhD, Weill Medical College, Cornell University This book makes a valuable contribution to a contemporary perspective on the analyst's experience within the therapeutic situation. Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association The Therapist in Mourning is a thoughtful examination of grief in the psychotherapeutic relationship.

WW Norton & Co Asperger Syndrome in Adulthood
Book SynopsisA thorough overview of Asperger syndrome for mental health professionals.Trade Review"The authors of [DSM-V] have used the umbrella term “autism spectrum disorder” (ASD), which combines the currently separate diagnoses of autism, Asperger’s syndrome, and pervasive developmental disorder. This change in no way diminishes the value of this book for clinicians who work with and teach about adults with psychiatric disorders. . . . I strongly recommend this book to any and all who deal with psychiatric patients and those who rightfully advocate for their treatment. . . . The section on psychotherapy . . . can help the therapist to understand what the patient needs and how to go about achieving it. The section on psychosocial aspects can provide information for patient advocates and others involved in the field about how limited the resources are and what is needed." -- Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease"[A]n important read not just for clinicians but for adults who are seeking diagnosis or who have attained diagnosis in adulthood. . . . [A] thoroughly documented text that will be valuable to clinicians seeking to provide support and interventions for adults on the mild end of the spectrum. . . . Research in how autism presents across the lifespan is lacking and many clinicians lack the expertise in recognizing how undiagnosed mild autism presents in adults. This book is a good solution, regardless of what we call the condition." -- Autism Blogs Directory"This book lives up to its name of Comprehensive Guide and may well become a standard text for understanding the complexity of Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) in adults . . . . I am in awe of Stoddart, Burke, and King for their in-depth knowledge of this difficult subject. . . . I highly recommend this book." -- The Milton H. Erickson Foundation Newsletter"Well written and highly readable . . . . [T]his volume will be invaluable for those clinicians who provide that care." -- Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders"[A] solid starting point for learning about Asperger Syndrome. Asperger Syndrome in Adulthood is unquestionably readable and undeniably exhaustive." -- PsychCentral"An outstanding addition to the literature. This volume is comprehensive in scope and is a valuable addition to the growing body of work on this topic." -- Fred R. Volkmar, MD, Irving B. Harris Professor and Director, Child Study Center, Yale; Chief of Child Psychiatry, Yale New Haven Hospital"Asperger Syndrome in Adulthood represents a very welcome addition to the current literature on what happens to individuals on the autism spectrum after they graduate from high school or college. Maintaining an evidence-based perspective, the authors address a wide range of issues, including some controversial ones, in way that is accurate, accessible, and very applicable to the promotion of quality-of-life concerns. A very useful volume." -- Peter F. Gerhardt, EdD, Chair, Scientific Council for the Organization for Autism Research; Director, McCarton Upper School"An invaluable resource for parents and clinicians alike. This book fills an important and neglected niche in our understanding of Asperger Syndrome. It is written with both clarity and compassion." -- Dr. Peter Szatmari, MD, Professor, Dept. of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences; Director, Offord Centre for Child Studies; and Head, Division of Child Psychiatry, McMaster University
