Lotus Publishing Movement Integration: The Systemic Approach to
Book SynopsisA paradigm-shifting, integrative approach to understanding body movement The ability to move with efficiency and agility has been an essential component to our evolution and survival as a species. It has enabled us to find food, fight threats, flee danger, and flourish both individually and collectively. Our body’s intricate network of bones, muscles, tissues, and organs moves with great complexity. While traditional anatomy has relied on a reductionist frame for understanding these mechanisms in isolation, the contributors to Movement Integration take a more systemic, integrative approach. Ensomatosy is a new paradigm for comprehending movement from the perspective of the body s entirety. The body's many systems are understood as synchronized both internally and externally. Drawing on expertise in physiotherapy, somatics, sports science, Rolfing, myofascial therapy, craniosacral therapy, Pilates, and yoga, the authors assert that a more comprehensive understanding of movement is key to restoring the body s natural ability to move fluidly and painlessly. With over 150 colour images, the Color Illustration Model provides a visual tool for understanding how joints interact with surrounding structures (rather than in isolation). This is an ideal book for physiotherapists, massage therapists, structural integrators, coaches, as well as yoga and Pilates instructors.

Pavilion Publishing and Media Ltd 10 Rules for Ensuring Autistic People and People
Book SynopsisTen Rules for Ensuring Autistic People and People with Learning Disabilities Can?t Access Healthcare?and maybe what to do about it aims to inspire a serious conversation about the difficulties facing people with learning disabilities and those on the autism spectrum when they need to access healthcare. It is a sad fact that people with learning disabilities will die, on average, between 13 and 17 years younger than others, and this is in no small part down to the challenges of accessing the same care and treatment the rest of us take for granted.Positive change will come, however, by improving practitioners? understanding of the people they treat and helping them to communicate more effectively with them and their carers and families. Each ?rule? in this booklet speaks powerfully with the ?voice? of the individual on the receiving end of healthcare practice. Together, the ten rules challenge our existing practice and will help you to offer assessment, treatment and support that can really make a difference.

Scribe Publications Saved by the Siesta: fight tiredness and boost
Book SynopsisAn expert guide to the new health trend that is helping people around the world feel more energised and less stressed. Saved by the Siesta explains how siestas work and the remarkable role they can play in overcoming the destructive effects that a shortage of sleep can have on the brain and the body. A daytime nap fulfils all the same functions as a night’s sleep — it’s hormonal, purifying, curative, consolidating, and reinvigorating. It also helps us to combat sleepiness, pain, depression, weak immunity, stress, hypertension, excess weight, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. But to take advantage of all this we need to be aware of the siesta’s subtleties: its various types; the correct body position to adopt; the times that are conducive to sleeping; the most effective duration; the stages of sleep that heighten awareness, cognitive performance, memory, and creativity; and how to get to sleep quickly and wake up without feeling sleepy. Saved by the Siesta provides all this information, and more. It is a lucid and accessible synthesis of the science of sleep, and a practical guide to the benefits of napping.Trade Review‘A life-changing book by a top neurologist.’ * Daily Mail *‘A fascinating reminder that we all have free medicine at our fingertips.’ -- Chloe Gray * Stylist *‘Brice Faraut, a sleep specialist and neuroscientist, pleads for the nap: sleeping, he says, is a panacea, a miracle of nature that we too often neglect.’ * Le Figaro *‘According to the National Institute for Sleep and Vigilance, 31 per cent of French people sleep on average just over five-and-a-half hours a night during the week. The same is true everywhere: in Sweden, the United States, Mexico ... A nap therefore appears to be the lifeline. According to the author, it can heal severe fatigue, and fight drowsiness, pain, depression, immune weakness, stress, hypertension, obesity, or cardiovascular disease. And he provides proof of this by citing the extensive research carried out on the subject.’ * La Recherche *‘[A]n illuminating reflection on a health topic too often neglected: sleep debt … Always educational, supported by numerous studies and packed with practical advice, this book will help you heed your internal clock. The only thing left to do is put it into practice.’ * Page des Libraires *

Peter Lang AG Subtypen pathologischer Gluecksspieler:
Book SynopsisDie Lebenszeitprävalenz für pathologisches Glücksspielen liegt in Deutschland bei ca. 1%. Die Ergebnisse der Studie verweisen darauf, dass der Erfolg von Bemühungen zur Überwindung einer Spielsucht in hohem Maße davon abhängt, welchem Grad psychischer Belastungen die Betroffenen ausgesetzt sind. Mit Hilfe einer latenten Klassenanalyse wurden drei Subgruppen pathologischer Spieler identifiziert, die sich hinsichtlich ihres Niveaus der bestehenden emotionalen und psychischen Belastungen deutlich voneinander unterscheiden. So verschieden die Charakteristika dieser drei Spielergruppen sind, so unterschiedlich ist auch ihr Hilfebedarf. Somit verdeutlicht dieses Buch die Notwendigkeit einer problemgruppenspezifischen Diversifizierung des Hilfesystems bei gleichzeitiger Intensivierung von Prävention und Post-Treatment-Begleitung.

Peter Lang AG Prototype Modelling in Social-Emotional
Book SynopsisThe authors’ analyses of innovations in social and socio-emotional education contribute to systematizing distance learning to represent children’s and young people’s socio-emotional competences and to model how they can be developed. Low social capital and poor mental health, a key feature of the COVID-19 pandemic, are leading to an increasing number of suicides among youth and adolescents. These factors, reflecting the changing social-emotional feelings of children, adolescents and teachers in schools during COVID-19, require a new vision and support for learning practices. Modelling a SEEP in the authors’ vision would integrate family support, support for every teacher and child, success stories in the development of emotion therapy, and integrated practice in social pedagogical institutions, private initiatives and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).Table of ContentsGiedrė Kvieskienė & Gerd-Bodo von Carlsburg : Preface —Giedrė Kvieskienė : Introduction.

Harwood-Academic Publishers Infanticide And Parental Care
Book SynopsisFirst published in 1994. Infanticide is an extremely complex behavioral pattern that occurs throughout the animal kingdom and it must be considered not only in isolation but also from the viewpoint of an animal's care of its young. Infanticide and Parental Care will be of interest to zoologists, evolutionary biologists and biological anthropologists. The concept of infanticide is considered in different mammals such as humans, primates, pinnipeds, lions, dwarf mongooses and prairie dogs and in non-mammals including insects and birds. Infanticide and Parental Care also views the topic in different environmental conditions such as the natural habitat of an animal and animals kept in laboratory conditions. The wide implications of infanticide mean that this book will also be useful to historians, anthropologists, sociologists and psychologists.Table of ContentsPART 1: HISTORICAL ANTHROPOLOGICAL, SOCIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO THE STUDY OF INFANTICIDE AND PARENTAL CARE IN HUMANS CHAPTER 1 Fitness Trade-offs in the History and Evolution of Delegated Mothering With Special Reference to Wet-nursing, Abandonment and Infanticide CHAPTER 2 The Role of Social, Religious and Medical Practices in the Neglect, Abuse, Abandonment and Killing of Infants CHAPTER 3 The Psychology of Parenting in Evolutionary Perspective and the Case of Human Filicide CHAPTER 4 Infanticide in Western Cultures: A Historical Overview CHAPTER 5 Step-parenthood and the Evolved Psychology of Discriminative Parental Solicitude PART 2: INFANTICIDE IN NONHUMAN PRIMATES CHAPTER 6 Infanticide in Nonhuman Primates: Sexual Selection and Local Resource Competition CHAPTER 7 Infanticide Among the Langurs of Jodhpur: Testing the Sexual Selection Hypothesis With a Long term Record CHAPTER 8 Mechanisms of Primate Infant Abuse: The Maternal Anxiety Hypothesis PART 3: FIELD STUDIES OF INFANTICIDE AND PARENTAL CARE IN INSECTS, BIRDS AND MAMMALS CHAPTER 9 Oophagy and Infanticide in Colonies of Social Wasps CHAPTER 10 Proximate and Ultimate Determinants of Avian Brood Reduction CHAPTER 11 Protection and Abuse of Young in Pinnipeds CHAPTER 12 Infanticide in Lions: Consequences and Counter-strategies CHAPTER 13 Altruistic Infant Care or Infanticide: The Dwarf Mongooses' Dilemma CHAPTER 14 Nepotism and Infanticide Among Prairie Dogs PART 4: EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF INFANTICIDE AND PARENTAL CARE IN RODENTS CHAPTER 15 Infanticide and Protection of Young in House Mice (Mus domesticus): Female and Male Strategies CHAPTER 16 Behavioral Cycles and the Neural Timing of Infanticide and Parental Behavior in Male House Mice CHAPTER 17 Selective Allocation of Parental and Infanticidal Responses in Rodents: A Review of Mechanisms CHAPTER 18 Biparental Care and Male-Female Relations in Mammals CHAPTER 19 Protection and Abuse of Young in Mice: Influence of Mother-Young Interactions CHAPTER 20 To Provision or Kill Offspring: A Dynamic Model of Postpartum Decision Making
