Jessica Kingsley Publishers Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in Primary Care
Book SynopsisThe book emphasises the collaborative relationship with the patient, explaining the nature of the problem and working out a treatment plan. At the end of each chapter there are useful lists of references and recommended further reading, including leaflets and other useful information for patients. There also many helpful appendices on subjects such as self-help for anxiety, coping with panic attacks, deep muscle relaxation, and Masters and Johnson therapy. Not only does this book describe a form of therapy, but it also enters the debate on the reorganisation of mental health services, advocating A model where a clinical psychologist practitioner is part of the primary health care team.'- International Journal Of Psychiatry In Clinical Practice'This is a good resource book, giving information about materials ranging from a CD-ROM on enuresis to contracts for British Airways fear-of-flying courses. On balance, I would say buy it for all your primary carers.'- Clinical Psychology Forum'This is a very readable and useful text... a wonderful introductory text for those new to the technique, and offers a basic framework for practice and source of reference for those specialising in other techniques. There are many gems within the book, which is written by a GP and a clinical psychologist... well structured, makes good use of cross-referencing, and contains additional material in the appendices. The book also includes a useful list of contact addresses, suggested further reading and a comprehensive index.'- Mental Health Care'A well organised and coherent presentation of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy applied in primary care...the authors have managed to include anxiety, depression, habit and appetite, as well as sexual and relationship problems. Each problem is extensively explored with provision of examples of contracts and clear stages of progression through treatment. A chapter also covers problems of childhood and adolescence, which sensitively and clearly explains approaches to bed-wetting, nightmares and sleepwalking as well as tantrums and feeding difficulties. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is shown to provide clear and positive guidelines for both parents and health workers. This is a valuable book providing both extensive and consistent guidelines for the primary care worker and other professional groups.'- Psychotherapy and CounsellingDespite increased recognition of the importance of psychological factors in the treatment of physical illness there have been surprisingly few practical guides published on the subject of behavioural therapy in primary care. In 1986, in response to this need, Richard France and Meredith Robson created a practical manual for those with limited time at their disposal, who still wish to use behavioural methods with their patients or clients. Ten years on, 'Behaviour Therapy in Primary Care'(originally published by Chapman and Hall) has become a well established and highly thought of work within this field. In this new and updated guide the authors have incorporated recent research in the area of cognitive behaviour therapy, including:* advances in the general field of cognitive behaviour therapy* fundamental changes in certain established problem areas, such as sexual and marital therapy* additional work in 'core' areas, such as anxiety and depression* work in problem areas that have recently come to the fore, such as post traumatic stress disorder, HIV and stillbirth/abortion trauma.France and Robson explore a great diversity of issues within this practical guide, creating a reference work that will be indispensable to those needing a comprehensive introduction to this developing field.Table of ContentsPART 1 METHODS.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG PET/CT and PET/MR in Melanoma and Sarcoma
Book SynopsisThis is a comprehensive guide for patient preparation, image acquisition, and image interpretation for PET/CT and PET/MR, specifically relevant to melanoma and sarcoma. Imaging specialists and referring physicians are often not as intimately aware of the particulars of PET imaging in management of patients with melanoma and sarcoma and how it could affect their treatment. This book fills that gap by presenting comprehensive information on melanoma, sarcoma, and the role of PET imaging in their diagnosis and management. The book begins by covering the basics of imaging for practicing physicians and trainees. Expert authors then further cover the biological concepts of melanoma and sarcoma and how they relate to imaging, particularly PET, the oncologist’s perspective, and the surgeon’s perspective on imaging for both the imaging specialist and the referring physician. Chapters review topics such as: PET/CT and PET/MR images in melanoma and sarcoma from a systemic approach, false-positives, false-negatives, pitfalls, and molecular imaging beyond PET. Images are used extensively throughout to enhance understanding for the reader. This is an ideal guide for radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, oncologists, surgeons, trainees and technologists.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Role of Family Physicians in Older People
Book SynopsisThis book provides family doctors with a wealth of evidence-based indications and tips regarding geriatric medicine and approaches for the management of older patients, to be applied in daily practice. After discussing old and new features of healthy ageing and the approaches required in Family Medicine Consultation, the text introduces key elements of geriatric medicine such as frailty, sarcopenia, and the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA), before describing a range of characteristics unique to older patients in different contexts, with a dedicated section on Palliative Care. The role of polypharmacy and the importance of quaternary prevention and deprescribing are also addressed. Finally, the book emphasizes both the importance of a humanistic approach in caring and the approach of research and meta-research in geriatrics. Though many texts explore the role of primary care professionals in geriatric medicine, the role of family doctors in older people care has not yet been clearly addressed, despite the growing burden of ageing, which has been dubbed the “silver tsunami.” Family physicians care for individuals in the context of their family, community, and culture, respecting the autonomy of their patients. In negotiating management plans with their patients, family doctors integrate physical, psychological, social, cultural and existential factors, utilizing the knowledge and trust engendered by repeated visits. They do so by promoting health, preventing disease, providing cures, care, or palliation and promoting patient empowerment and self-management.This will likely become all the more important, since we are witnessing a global demographic shift and family doctors will be responsible for and involved in caring for a growing population of older patients. This book is intended for family medicine trainees and professionals, but can also be a useful tool for geriatricians, helping them to better understand some features of primary care and to more fruitfully interact with family doctors.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Family Doctors and the Silver Tsunami: how to face the storm.- Scales and Scores for comprehensive geriatric assessment in primary care.- Nutritional issues of older people in primary care.- Frailty and sarcopenia in primary care: current issues.- The older patient with cognitive impairment in primary care.- The older patient with psychiatric illness.- The older patient at home.- Managing incontinence.- Intermediate care in older population: the role of the Family Doctor.- The older patient in nursing home.- The role of caregivers in older people.- Red Flags in elderly care.- Vaccinations in older people.- The Geriatric Team: clinical and social aspects.- Elder Abuse and Domestic Violence.- Polipharmacy and overtreatment.- Quaternary Prevention and Deprescribing.- Quality or quantity of life?

Springer Practical Immunization
Book SynopsisThe development of immunization has been one of the most striking features in the control of infectious disease in the twentieth century. This book takes into account the need for a simple, concise account of immunization procedures not only in the UK and USA but also in other countries, and to this end a special chapter on immunization in developing countries has been included. Following two introductory chapters, there are nine chapters on various diseases and the vaccines that have been developed to combat them. In each of these chapters, a short discussion of the epidemiology of the disease and the history of immunization against it is followed by a description of the vaccine, its efficacy, contraindications to its use and future developments. These are followed by four general chapters on vaccines for travel, vaccines for selective use, passive immunization and immunization in tropical environments and the book concludes with a chapter on the smallpox vaccination and one on new vaccines. The demand for this book follows the popularity of a series of articles on immunization which appeared in Update. These have been expanded and largely rewritten. I have drawn on many expert sources and have made an effort to provide a balanced and non-controversial opinion with a discussion of alternative procedures where indicated.Table of Contents1 Introduction.- 2 Vaccines and Schedules.- 3 Diphtheria.- 4 Tetanus.- 5 Whooping Cough.- 6 Poliomyelitis.- 7 Measles (Rubeola).- 8 Rubella.- 9 Tuberculosis.- 10 Vaccines for Selective Use.- Influenza.- Viral Hepatitis.- Mumps.- Meningococcal Meningitis.- Pneumococcal Infections.- Anthrax.- 11 Vaccination for Travel.- Cholera.- Yellow Fever.- Typhoid Fever.- Others.- 12 Immunization in Developing Countries.- 13 Passive Immunization.- 14 Smallpox (Variola).- 15 New Vaccines.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Common Skin Diseases
Book SynopsisThis book is designed to help develop a GPs skill in disease recognition and treatment. It approaches the subject from a symptoms specific rather that a disease specific angle.Trade ReviewPre-publication review quotes "I particularly like the idea of a symptom orientated approach.

Rutgers University Press Practice Under Pressure Primary Care Physicians
Book SynopsisThrough ninety-five in-depth interviews with primary care physicians (PCPs) working in different settings, as well as medical students and residents, Practice Under Pressure provides rich insight into the everyday lives of generalist physicians in the early twenty-first centuryùtheir work, stresses, hopes, expectations, and values.Trade Review"Practice Under Pressure could not be more timely. Timothy Hoff has written a concise, compelling examination of the work of primary care based on integration of qualitative data and published quantitative findings. Hoff interviewed 88 PCPs, residents, and students, as well as 2 nonphysician leaders. The book's power emanates from these narratives." * Journal of the American Medical Association *"In this timely book, Timothy Hoff presents a survey of ninety primary care physicians. They speak their minds—and hearts. Hoff explains how, in a generation, our family doctors gave up hospital practice and found themselves boxed into fifteen minutes of face time with patients in the office: the business model that favors technology over talking and thinking. Primary care, which we need more of, cannot compete with the higher prestige and earnings of specialties like surgery and radiology. This book will help everyone—professionals, the public, and politicians—to grasp the nettle. Meanwhile the US healthcare system hardly deserves a passing grade." * ForeWord Reviews *"Sociologist Timothy Hoff takes us to the heart and soul of the primary care crisis in America. Through personal stories, he reveals the daily frustrations and the deep compassion of these dedicated physicians." -- Bruce Bagley, M.D. * former president, American Academy of Family Physicians *"The erosion of primary medical care is of increasing concern for the organization of our health care system, for patients, and for issues of access and cost. In this book, Timothy Hoff looks at this issue through the perspectives of primary care physicians and provides useful information for understanding significant changes in medical care and future challenges." -- David Mechanic * Institute for Health, Health Care Policy, and Aging Research, Rutgers University *"This is the best book on primary care to come along in years. Hoff's recommendations for improvement are grounded in the everyday experience of primary care providers and what they and others will need to make such improvements reality." -- Stephen M.

Johns Hopkins University Press Searching for the Family Doctor
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewIn 'Searching for the Family Doctor: Primary Care on the Brink,' management Professor Timothy J. Hoff depicts a field in crisis amid a system trending toward 'transactional,' volume-driven, ever more 'balkanized' care. The practitioner perspective illuminates a system antithetical to the preventive care that is family medicine's stock-in-trade, and Hoff's observations about the missteps behind the field's malaise are incisive. This emphasis will also serve to impart a sense of agency to the book's professional readers — that redemption lies in setting their house in order.—San Francisco ChronicleHoff, professor of management, health care systems, and health policy at Northeastern University, investigates the specialty of family medicine through archival research and interviews conducted with practicing family physicians....An excellent book.—Choice (American Library Association)[Hoff] piec[es] out the cognitive dissonance of practicing family medicine in a broken health care system.—Lalita Abhyankar, Health AffairsTable of ContentsPrefaceChapter 1.
