Taylor & Francis The Economics of US Health Care Policy
Book SynopsisIn this book, Phelps and Parente explore the US health care system and set out the case for its reform. They trace the foundations of todayâs system, and show how distortions in the incentives facing participants in the health care market could be corrected in order to achieve lower costs, a higher quality of care, a higher level of patient safety, and a more efficient allocation of health care resources. Phelps and Parente propose novel yet economically robust changes to US tax law affecting health insurance coverage and related issues. They also discuss a series of specific improvements to Medicare and Medicaid, and assess potential innovations that affect all of health care, including chronic disease management, fraud and abuse detection, information technology, and other key issues.The Economics of US Health Care Policy will be illuminating reading for anyone with an interest in health policy, and will be a valuable supplementary text for courses in health economicTable of ContentsPART 1: THE MARKET FOR PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE Chapter 1: The Pivotal Role of Employer-Paid Health Insurance Chapter 2: An Alternate Universe: Life Without the Tax Subsidy Chapter 3: How To Get There From Here and Also Grow the Economy Chapter 4: Who Might Support or Oppose Our Proposal?

Taylor & Francis Working with Child and Adolescent Mental Health
Book SynopsisIn children, mental health challenges and communication differences typically combine in complex and inter-related ways. Remarkably, this crucial point is all too often forgotten, and communication is overlooked. Services are frequently fragmented, leading professionals to look at children through distinct lenses of either mental health or communication, meaning insights can be incomplete and important perspectives unshared.Working with Child and Adolescent Mental Health makes the compelling case that communication is central and should be a primary consideration whenever we think about childrenâs mental health. With a practical focus, and an easy- to-read format, it suggests how this can be achieved by identifying how practitioners and services can work more cohesively to understand and optimise childrenâs communication capacities.This book includes: Practical advice, grounded in current research, and presented in an easy-to-read, digestible styleTrade Review“Addressing mental health needs in children and young people is one of the most urgent challenges of our time. McCool makes a compelling case for placing social communication at the centre of managing these needs. This book is essential reading for all speech-language pathologists involved in the care of these clients.” Louise Cummings, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China “This is an important book for anyone who wants to support young people’s mental health, offering both theoretical and practical insights. Communication support needs are often overlooked in young people with mental health issues although they can have devastating implications, not least on the efficacy of any intervention offered.” Melanie Cross, Speech and language therapist, author, and video interaction guidance supervisor “The format of this book is beautifully balanced: it is authoritative, yet concisely and clearly written; it is highly practical yet packed with useful information. It will go a long way towards closing the gap between speech and language therapy and the rest of the child mental health world.” Helen Minnis, Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, University of Glasgow, Scotland "This book is an excellent resource for SLTs working, in child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) and anywhere else where a child or young person has mental health needs. It is the book I have been waiting for since I started working in an inpatient CAMHS service. The book is full of useful resources which can be used straight away, and it is written in a very accessible format. There are very clear examples of why it is so important to look at both communication and mental health and it describes how these are so intertwined. I feel it is also a useful resource for other mental health professionals to help them understand why SLTs are so important in mental health settings." - Hayley Rosenthall, Advanced Specialist SLT, RCSLT Bulletin, Winter 23/24 Table of ContentsAcknowledgements List of Tables Introduction Chapter 1: The central role of language and communication Chapter 2: Ways of thinking about mental health and communication Chapter 3: Practitioner competencies Chapter 4: Learning from experience Chapter 5: Considering social communication in children and young people Chapter 6: Responding to social communication needs Chapter 7: Changing contexts and cultures Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd A Philosopher Goes to the Doctor
Book SynopsisThis book sheds light on important philosophical assumptions made by professionals working in clinical and research medicine. In doing so, it aims to make explicit how active philosophy is in medicine and shows how this awareness can result in better and more informed medical research and practice.It examines: what features make something a scientific discipline; the inherent tensions between understanding medicine as a research science and as a healing practice; how the replication crisis in medical research asks us to rethink the structure of knowledge production in our modern world; whether explanations have any real scientific values; the uncertainties about probabilistic claims; and whether it is possible for evidence-based medicine to truly be value free. The final chapter argues that the most important question we can ask is not, How can we separate values from science? but, In a democratic society, how can we decide in a politically and morally acceptable way what valTable of ContentsAnnotated Table of ContentsA Note on the CoverIntroductionChapter 1: The Boundaries of MedicineChapter 2: The Concept of HealthChapter 3: Evidence in MedicineChapter 4: Explanations in MedicineChapter 5: Probability in MedicineChapter 6: Value-Free MedicineChapter 7: Truth and HappinessIndex

The University of Chicago Press Color Lines
Book SynopsisA new ethnic order has emerged in the United States. The growing number of Latinos and Asians has rendered the old black-and-white binary obsolete. And yet, political pundits and commentators on both the left and the right continue to overlook the changing face of discrimination and opportunity in today's new multiethnic, multiracial America. With Color Lines, John David Skrentny brings us a collection of essays that reexamines the role of affirmative action and civil rights in light of this important shift in American demographics. The book explores issues of public policy, equal opportunity, diversity, multiculturalism, pathways to better work and higher learning, and attempts in countries outside the United States to protect minority civil rights. Combining perspectives from specialists in fields as diverse as sociology, history, political science, and law, Color Lines is a balanced and broad-ranging guide for anyone interested in civil rights policy and the future of ethnic relations in America.

MIT Press Ltd Long Days Short Years A Cultural History of
Book SynopsisHow parenting became a verb, from Dr. Spock and June Cleaver to baby whispering and free-range kids.When did “parenting” become a verb? Why is it so hard to parent, and so rife with the possibility of failure? Sitcom families of the past—the Cleavers, the Bradys, the Conners—didn’t seem to lose any sleep about their parenting methods. Today, parents are likely to be up late, doomscrolling on parenting websites. In Long Days, Short Years, Andrew Bomback—physician, writer, and father of three young children—looks at why it can be so much fun to be a parent but, at the same time, so frustrating and difficult to parent. It’s not a “how to” book (although Bomback has read plenty of these) but a “how come” book, investigating the emergence of an immersive, all-in approach to raising children that has made parenting a competitive (and often not very enjoyable) sport.
