Pan Macmillan I'm Just a Person: My year of death, cancer and
Book SynopsisIn the span of four months in 2012, Tig Notaro was hospitalized for a debilitating intestinal disease called C. diff, her mother unexpectedly died, she went through a breakup, and then she was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer. Hit with this devastating barrage, Tig took her grief onstage. Days after receiving her cancer diagnosis, she broke new comedic ground, opening an unvarnished set with the words: 'Good evening. Hello. I have cancer. How are you? Hi, how are you? Is everybody having a good time? I have cancer.' The set instantly went viral, and was ultimately released as Tig's sophomore album, Live, which sold one hundred thousand units in just six weeks and was later nominated for a Grammy.Now, the wildly popular star takes stock of that no good, very bad year - a difficult yet astonishing period in which tragedy turned into absurdity and despair transformed into joy. An inspired combination of the deadpan silliness of her comedy and the open-hearted vulnerability that has emerged in the wake of that dire time, I'm Just a Person is a moving and often hilarious look at this very brave, very funny woman's journey into the darkness and her thrilling return from it.Trade ReviewThe book is heartbreaking, and brilliant, and funny. . . it’s fantastic. * Ellen Degeneres *Notaro's thrilling, candid, and hilarious memoir is a provocative and convincing rallying cry to seize the day * Booklist *I’m Just a Person will make you laugh, or cry, or both. * Marie Claire *Notaro’s story is funny not because it’s true (although it is), but because it’s told by the world-class stand-up with wit and vulnerability. * O Magazine *Anyone who can write a sharply funny-and bravely optimistic-story about losing her mother, going through a break up, and being diagnosed with breast cancer all in the span of four months is an absolute heroine in our book. All hail, Tig Notaro! -- GlamourComedian Tig Notaro takes pain and successfully converts it into laughs in I’m Just a Person… It’s an intriguing and inspiring look at one woman’s way of pressing on * Bustle *I'm Just a Person is Tig's journey in her own words, taking us through the repeated and unexpected heartaches of loss, the awkwardness and humiliation that comes with being ill, and all the social and personal struggles that come with either of those taxing situations. And yet, she has penned a very funny, deeply moving narrative. This isn't emotional torture porn or blandly uplifting treacle; this is hardcore honesty and sincerity told through a hilarious, sardonic lens.Not only is it a terrific, meaningful read, but it was a wonderful guidebook that helped me be there for a friend who endured a similar loss. Knowing what to say and what not to say is just one worthwhile lesson Tig provided amongst all those laughs and poignant words. * Glen Dallas, Manhattan Book Review *A tragedy turned into a thing of beauty * Elle UK *

Inner Traditions Bear and Company The Biogenealogy Sourcebook: Healing the Body by
Book SynopsisBiogenealogy is a comprehensive new vision of health that takes the mind-body connection one step further by identifying and consciously addressing the emotional shocks that create physical disorders. Each symptom of an illness precisely indicates its emotional origin. Thus, far from being an enemy, the physical symptom is actually a valuable ally that provides the key to the cure of the physical disease as well as resolution of the emotional imbalance that created it. Christian Flèche, the leading researcher and practitioner in the field of biogenealogy, explains that the “activation of illness” is the body’s reaction to unresolved events that are frozen in time. These unresolved traumas affect the body on the cellular level and manifest in minor as well as more serious chronic conditions. In The Biogenealogy Sourcebook, Flèche systematically chronicles all the major organs of the body and specifies the types of emotional conflicts that lead to illness in those areas. For example, he explains that conflicts of separation are evidenced in diseases of the skin; a reduction of self-worth or deep anguish will manifest in the lymph nodes. He also shows that unresolved emotional issues can also be passed down to future generations if left untreated. Intended for therapists, researchers, and any person who wants to take his or her health in hand, this book is an important guide to understanding and decoding the causes and not just the effects of illness.Trade Review"The Biogenealogy Sourcebook is as thought provoking as it is practical in showing us one of the true conduits between creation and nature. It opens up some of the secrets by which we were meant to live our lives and presents us with a template to align our physical and emotional needs. Reading it could well change your life and who knows one day it might even save it." * Huw Griffiths, New Dawn, Sept-Oct 2009 *Table of Contents Acknowledgments Preface Introduction: The General Principles of Biogenealogy 1.

Broadview Press Ltd Life in the Sick Room
Book SynopsisBelieving herself to be suffering from an incurable condition, Harriet Martineau wrote Life in the Sick-Room in 1844. In this work, which is both memoir and treatise, Martineau seeks to educate the healthy and ill alike on the spiritual and psychological dimensions of chronic suffering. Covering such topics as "Sympathy to the Invalid," "Temper," and "Becoming Inured," the work occupies a crucial place in the culture of invalidism that prospered in Victorian England.This Broadview edition also includes medical documents pertaining to Martineau's case; other writings on health by Martineau; excerpts from her other autobiographical writings; selected correspondence with Florence Nightingale; excerpts from contemporary works of sick-room literature; and reviews.Trade ReviewThis thoroughly absorbing edition contextualizes Martineau's sick-room meditations within the extraordinary nineteenth-century culture of invalidism, and sheds light on a form of writing which, far from being morbidly self-obsessed, was intended to inspire and counsel its readers. Maria Frawley's excellent introduction brings together, in revealing and suggestive ways, contemporary medical commentary, a range of therapeutic technologies, and personal accounts of suffering. The wealth of additional material - a characteristic feature of Broadview texts - makes this edition a valuable resource for students and scholars of Victorian literature and culture." - Jane Wood, University of Leeds"The explosion of interest in the cultural study of the body, illness, and gender makes the publication of Martineau's work very timely. With its inclusion of contemporary reviews, correspondence, and related controversial writings, this edition is especially useful." - M.

Rowman & Littlefield Understanding Psychosis
Book SynopsisWhen a loved one is struck with psychosis, people often misunderstand what is happening and why. They may feel helpless or confused or frightened, not knowing what to do with or for the sufferer or how to handle the situation themselves. This book takes a look at psychosis and how it has been handled over the last century or so. Beginning with a definition of psychosis and moving to a consideration of how people who suffer from it were once institutionalized and are now expected to be cared for at home, the author traces the challenges families and communities face, considers the plight of sufferers and what they experience, and offers case examples throughout to illustrate the onset of psychosis, the infringement it makes on personal and professional life, and the toll it takes on sufferers and caregivers alike. Capps covers the magnitude of the problem, the treatment of sufferers, the warning signs, facts and realities of recovery, treatments, prevention, and coping strategies for faTrade ReviewOnce again, Dr. Capps provides the reader with a unique slant on the intersection between contemporary life and the psychoanalytic tradition, broadly understood. Here his dialog partners include mental illness research and John Nash's game theory in conversation with recent schizophrenic brain studies and Erik Erikson's work on "acute identity confusion." Capps' conclusions have the capacity to provoke 'empathetic curiosity' in anyone willing to enter into the mysterious and potentially revelatory realm of psychosis, a world in which we all live to one degree or another. -- Carol J. Cook, Louisville SeminaryUnderstanding Psychosis is at once a compassionate and alarming book. Donald Capps calls us to respond to an epidemic of severely mentally ill individuals on our streets, in our prisons, in our communities and in our families. Drugs alone, he demonstrates, will not cure this suffering, which touches all of us. Capps' powerful book is a clarion call for human solidarity along with badly needed health care resources and services. -- Thomas R. Cole, McGovern Center for Humanities and Ethics, University of Texas School of MedicineDon Capps achieves his primary aim of drawing in curious readers to understand the complexities and challenges of living with schizophrenia. His profound insight into the perplexing reality of mental illness combines with his erudition on this important subject. Drawing on extensive research and using compelling case studies, Capps opens us up to the anguishing reality of living with mental illness. Capp's compassionate and helpful style leaves the reader feeling hopeful, empowered, and informed on such a crucial topic. This is an important book which will be a great help for all who care about persons inflicted with 'the invisible epidemic of mental illness'. -- Phil C. Zylla, McMaster Divinity College, Hamilton, OntarioPsychosis: madness, insanity, violence, danger, 'utterly out of control, maniacal, and subhuman.' Of all the categories of mental disorders, public (and all too often professional) understanding of psychosis often places it first in stigmatization and last in actual understanding. Capps has written many books that examine pastoral and theological implications for counseling and mental stability. With this new book, the focus is more on the generalizations––both correct and incorrect––that are applied to this severe mental illness, and how practitioners and caregivers might better understand treatment options. Capps comes at psychosis from multiple, well considered angles, including placing delusional thought patterns in the context of a client’s overall life story; the effects of psychosis on family members and the community (and, to a lesser degree, the transition from institutional care to community-based services); proactive and reactive treatment modalities; and seeking a common definition for the idea of 'mental stability.' Capps’ inquiry is neither oversimplified, nor is it bogged down by providing elaboration where none is indicated. The introduction alone recommends this book as a fine primer in psychosis. * Booklist *Donald Capps sheds new light on a contemporary issue affecting all members of our society. Mental illness touches each one of us in some way-as victims, family members, friends, practitioners, or partners in faith. We find ourselves in a crisis as a nation, resulting from a decreased investment in the plight of the mentally ill. Pertinent topics are addressed regarding the ability of families to cope with mental illness and the possible prevention or remission of serious psychosis. Don is a master at incorporating personal narratives and biographies to illustrate these complex concepts. I strongly recommend this work to anyone who struggles with questions related to the psychotic mind. -- Grafton T.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Playfulness and Dementia: A Practice Guide
Book SynopsisEstablishing playfulness as an essential component of dementia care, this positive and uplifting book will be key in changing attitudes and providing ideas for new and valuable ways of interacting and being with individuals with the condition. John Killick explores the nature of playfulness and the many ways in which it can enrich the lives of people with dementia, including as a means of maintaining relationships and communication, supporting communication and generally lifting the spirits. Specific approaches already in existence are described, including improvised drama, clowning and laughter yoga, and a chapter on the playful approach to art and craft activities is also included. Personal accounts of playfulness by individuals with dementia, relatives and an actor with a decade's experience of using playful approaches with people with dementia offer rich first-hand insights into its transformative potential. Throughout the book, the importance of spontaneity and of being with the person with dementia in the present moment is emphasised, and the reader is encouraged to develop a playful mindset. A selection of colour photographs amply demonstrate playful approaches in action. Offering a fresh and perhaps unexpected perspective, this book is essential reading for dementia care practitioners and managers, activity coordinators, therapists, people with dementia and their relatives, and anyone else concerned with the wellbeing of those with the condition.Trade ReviewThis recently published guide is not a technical/scientific book and it is not about giving fixed instructions. Rather, it is a collection of inspirational stories. It is about bringing humour into people's lives... In my opinion, every facility should have a copy of this book.

Just as many lonely hearts advertisements specify a GSOH as their top priority in a soulmate, I would specify the same requirement for those providing support and care to me and my family. This is not to trivialise the experience of living with dementia, but rather a recognition that laughter can help us through the most difficult places. This book is full of ways to connect people through fun. There is nothing disrespectful or silly about the words in this book. It is full of compassion and honesty. It will supply you with a springboard to joy. -- Professor Dawn Brooker, Director of the Association for Dementia Studies, University of WorcesterKillick's challenge to us in Playfulness and Dementia is simple and powerful - what is wrong with having a good time when you are living with dementia? His many-faceted story is thoroughly convincing - that play, playfulness and laughter are integral to creativity in dementia, to people's well-being, and ultimately to their human right to experience joy. -- John Zeisel, PhD, founder of the I'm Still Here Foundation and author of I'm Still Here: A New Philosophy of Alzheimer's CareKillick's clear, concise invitation to play reminds us that improvisation is the very core of life. This multi-voiced work provides invaluable paths to walk together, through dementia. -- Anne D. Basting, Executive Director and Associate Professor, Center on Age and Community, University of Wisconsin, MilwaukeeA Playfulness and dementia: A practice guide, John Killick explores the nature of playfulness and look at how it can enrich the lives of people with dementia... It is aimed at dementia care practitioners, activity coordinators, people with dementia and their relatives, and anyone else concerned with the wellbeing of those with dementia.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Respiratory Disorders in Neuromuscular Disease:
Book SynopsisOver the years, the life expectancy of patients with neuromuscular disease has improved thanks to new knowledge and technological innovations. This new book is entirely dedicated to the knowledge of the complex and unique profile of patients suffering from neuromuscular pathology. Many key points are discussed by specialists dedicated to neuromuscular patient care. Respiratory support is often indispensable to sustain the patient's life. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has taken on an increasingly important role in the care of patients with chronic respiratory failure secondary to neuromuscular disease. The NIV approach and complementary techniques are described. The management of airways and clearance of secretions are important aspects which are dealt with in a dedicated session, and a new theme - laryngeal response pattern during NIV and cough assist techniques - is also addressed. The timing of the tracheostomy and choice of cannula are decisive in the management of the neuromuscular patient, thus the use of invasive mechanical ventilation. Topics of interest also include perioperative respiratory management, weaning from mechanical ventilation and extubation. The use of imaging techniques, such as videofluoroscopy of swallowing and sonography can support the clinician in the diagnosis of complications. Today, even pulmonary rehabilitation is an integral and indispensable part of patient care. The text - developed with the contribution of experts dedicated to the daily care of patients with neuromuscular disorders -- is an ambitious project which aims to provide an extensive discussion of the topic and support for those who already work with this type of patient, as well as for those who are starting to engage in this type of patient care.Table of ContentsPreface; Introduction: Overview of Neuromuscular Disorders (NMDs) Affecting Respiratory Function; Respiratory Phenotypes of Pediatric Patients; Respiratory Muscle Strength; Cough Function Abnormalities; Diurnal Pulmonary Function Testing in Neuromuscular Disorders; Sleep Disorders in Neuromuscular Diseases; Initiation of Non-Invasive Ventilation in Children with Neuromuscular Disease; Initiation of NIV in Adult; Modes of Ventilation; Interface, Mouthpiece, Nasal Face/Alternative Interface; Negative Mechanical Ventilation; Intermittent Abdominal Mechanical Ventilation; MPV and Others Emergent Therapies; Noninvasive Ventilation; Continuous Noninvasive Ventilator Support; Risk of Unsuccessful Non-Invasive Ventilation in Neuromuscular Patients; Monitoring and Synchrony Ventilator Patient; Laryngeal Response Patterns during NIV and Mechanically Assisted Cough; Tracheostomy Timing and Choice of Cannula; Cough Management; Invasive Ventilation; Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation and Extubation; Ventilatory Dependent Patients Unweanable Conditions; Perioperative Respiratory Management of Pediatric Patients with NMD; Anesthetic Considerations for Neuromuscular Diseases; Management of Acute Respiratory Failure in Pregnancy; Cardiac Manifestations of Neuromuscular Disease; Therapy of Scoliosis in Neuromuscular Pathology; Imaging Techniques in NMD; Sonography in the Evaluation of the Disease; Vocal Cord Dysphonia and Sialorrhea; Screening and Evaluation Tools of Dysphagia in Neuromuscular Disorders; Aspiration Treatment and Decisional Algorithm; Infections in Neuromuscolar Disease Patients: A Point in the Right Direction; Nutritional Support in Neuromuscular Diseases; Respiratory Muscle Training in Children and Adults with Neuromuscular Diseases; Prevention of Pulmonary Morbidity; Discharge Planning from Hospital to Home Mechanical Ventilation; Home Mechanical Ventilation; Cause and Outcome of Acute Neuromuscular Respiratory Failure; The Caregiver Formation; The Role of Non Invasive Ventilation in Quality of Life in Neuromuscular Diseases; Telemonitoring; Palliative Care; End-of-Life Care; Ethical and Medico-Legal Aspects; Index.
