    1 in stock

    Book Synopsis* A concise and sophisticated introduction to the contested concept of Mental Illness . * Brings together a range of insights and interpretations from various disciplines including sociology, psychology, psychiatry and the neurosciences.Trade Review"Accessible yet rich, and consequently as valuable as, if not superior to, the similar texts that have preceded it. It will be of use to both groups of readers, those who are familiar with the material covered in it and those who are not, and is thus well-suited to the needs of a diverse professional audience."Journal of Mental Health"The relabelling of human distress and eccentricity as mental disorder is one of the great social changes of our time. Joan Busfield provides a breathtakingly lucid and remarkably comprehensive analysis of the vast cross-disciplinary terrain of argument about mental disorder and the meaning of the enormous expansion in disorder diagnoses over the past half-century. Busfield brings not only her sociologist's accomplished eye but also her trained clinician's understanding and a deft wielding of conceptual distinctions to the multifaceted debates over the meaning and social impact of mental disorder."Jerome C. Wakefield, Professor of Social Work and Psychiatry, New York University "Busfield has managed to capture in a single volume the breadth and depth of the highly contested and complex concept of mental illness. Original, accessible and engaging, this important book is a must-read."Kathleen Kendall, Senior Lecturer in Medical Education, University of Southampton "Busfield's book provides a valuable overview of the contested nature of mental illness, offering a balanced critique of some of the key debates regarding psychiatric concepts and categories. She cautions against the extension of psychiatric boundaries to include those experiences that are more helpfully understood in their social context, emphasising the contribution of many complex factors to the classification of mental illness. Her book deserves to be read by anyone interested in mental health and illness, including professionals and students."Kate Karban, Senior Lecturer in Social Work, University of BradfordTable of ContentsList of Figures and Tables Introduction 1 Concepts and Classifications 2 Counting Cases 3 Contested Causes 4 Critiques 5 Conceptual Controversies 6 Care, Control and Costs Conclusion References

Drawn out by her interlocutors, Rose discusses the difference between political and sexual identity and inquires whether psychoanalysis can be considered a radical form of thought that can be used fruitfully in dialogue about political struggle. Most significantlysince each of these conversations were sparked by her recent and controversial writing on Zionism, Israel, and PalestineRose reflects on the role of Jewish dissent in our time. In these conversations, Rose appears courageous, passionate, ethical, and never afraid to engage politically on issues that are of human concern in the ongoing Middle and Near East crisis.

  • Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation

    John Wiley and Sons Ltd Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation

    Book SynopsisNoninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation offers practical, evidence-based advice from experienced authors on the selection of appropriate patients, equipment and techniques used in the initiation of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV). It discusses how to anticipate and resolve possible problem scenarios, and how to implement and monitor NPPV programs both in hospitals and in the patient''''s home. Defined as ventilatory assistance given without the need for an invasive airway, NPPV is often preferred over invasive mechanical ventilation because it is more convenient to use, more comfortable for the patient, and avoids complications of invasive mechanical ventilation including upper airway trauma, nosocomial pneumonias, sinusitis and sepsis. However, recipients of NPPV must be carefully selected and considerable skill and experience are necessary for successful implementation. This book aims to provide readers with knowledge that will contribute to that success. Table of ContentsContributors. Foreword (Anita K. Simonds, M.D.). Introduction. 1.

  • Behavioral Dentistry

    John Wiley and Sons Ltd Behavioral Dentistry

    Book SynopsisBehavioral Dentistry, Second Edition, surveys the vast and absorbing topic of the role of behavioral science in the study and clinical practice of dentistry. An understanding of social sciences has long been a central part of dental education, and essential for developing a clinician's appreciation of human behavior as it affects efficient dental treatment. This book gathers together contributions from leading experts in each of the major subspecialties of behavioral dentistry. Its aim is not merely to provide the student and clinician with a comprehensive review of the impressive literature or discussion of the theoretical background to the subject, but also with a practical guide to adapting the latest techniques and protocols and applying them to day-to-day clinical practice. This second edition of Behavioral Dentistry discusses biobehavioral processes, including the psychobiology of inflammation and pain, oral health and quality of life, saliva health,Trade Review“An interesting read and a must-read for undergraduates needing to know more about behaviour techniques. For the established practitioner, if there are certain patient groups you see with behavioural quirks you wish to know more about, most likely this book will cover it.” (British Dental Journal, 11 July 2014) Table of ContentsContributors ix Foreword xiiiHenrietta L.

    Book SynopsisWritten by many of the world's leading practitioners in the delivery of mental health care, this book clearly presents the results of scientific research about care and treatment for people with mental illness in community settings.Trade Review"Pausing to thank Michele for a career of service, yielding improvements in many parts of the world, seems eminently worthwhile. We encourage all mental health services researchers to read this book (Fig. 1." (Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, 24 March 2014) “Nevertheless many of the contributors show a strong understanding of the impact of mental ill-health on people’s lives, a wish to reduce that impact, and awareness of and respect for people’s rights (even though legal aspects are not discussed, as I describe above). In other words, though you may agree or not with some of the contributors, their humanity shines through, and as such the book is a wonderful and fitting tribute to the pioneer of mental health community care, Michele Tansella.” (Potential Unleashed, 6 October 2013)Table of ContentsContributors xii Section 1 The global challenge 1 1 The nature and scale of the global mental health challenge 3 Mirella Ruggeri, Graham Thornicroft and David Goldberg 2 Scaling up mental health care in resource-poor settings 12 Shekhar Saxena, Benedetto Saraceno and Justin Granstein 3 The swings and roundabouts of community mental health: The UK fairground 25 Peter Tyrer 4 Mental health services and recovery 40 Mike Slade, Mary Leamy, Victoria Bird and Clair Le Boutillier Section 2 Meeting the global challenge 57 5 Implementing evidence-based treatments in routine mental health services: Strategies, obstacles, new developments to better target care provided 59 Antonio Lasalvia, Sarah Tosato, Katia De Santi, Doriana Cristofalo, Chiara Bonetto and Mirella Ruggeri 6 The need for new models of care for people with severe mental illnessin low- and middle-income countries 78 Ruben Alvarado, Alberto Minoletti, Elie Valencia, Graciela Rojas and Ezra Susser 7 The role of primary care in low- and middle-income countries 96 David Goldberg, Graham Thornicroft and Nadja van Ginneken 8 Meeting the challenge of physical comorbidity and unhealthy lifestyles 114 Lorenzo Burti, Loretta Berti, Elena Bonfioli and Irene Fiorini 9 Complex interventions in mental health services research: Potential, limitations and challenges 131 Thomas Becker and Bernd Puschner 10 The feasibility of applying the clinical staging paradigm to the care of people with mental disorders 145 Javier Vázquez-Bourgon, Luis Salvador-Carulla, Benedicto Crespo-Facorro and José Luis Vázquez-Barquero 11 Work, mental health and depression 163 Aart Schene, Hiske Hees, Maarten Koeter and Gabe de Vries 12 Training mental health providers in better communication with their patients 180 Christa Zimmermann, Lidia Del Piccolo, Claudia Goss, Giuseppe Deledda, Mariangela Mazzi and Michela Rimondini 13 Making an economic case for better mental health services 193 Martin Knapp Section 3 New research methods 209 14 Incorporating local information and prior expert knowledge to evidence-informed mental health system research 211 Luis Salvador-Carulla, Carlos Garcia-Alonso, Karina Gibert and Javier Vázquez-Bourgon 15 Innovative epidemiological methods 229 Francesco Amaddeo, Valeria Donisi, Laura Grigoletti and Alberto Rossi 16 Routine outcome monitoring: A tool to improve the quality of mental health care? 246 Sjoerd Sytema and Lian van der Krieke 17 Psychiatric case registers: Their use in the era of global mental health 264 Povl Munk-Jørgensen and Niels Okkels 18 Can brain imaging address psychosocial functioning and outcome in schizophrenia? 281 Marcella Bellani, Nicola Dusi and Paolo Brambilla 19 Statistics and the evaluation of the effects of randomised health-care interventions 291 20 Service user involvement in mental health research 308 Diana Rose Section 4 Delivering better care in the community 317 21 Psychotropic drug epidemiology and systematic reviews of randomised clinical trials: The roads travelled, the roads ahead 319 Andrea Cipriani, Michela Nosè and Corrado Barbui 22 Services for people with severe mental disorders in high-income countries: From efficacy to effectiveness 340 Paul Bebbington, Elizabeth Kuipers and David Fowler 23 The management of mental disorders in the primary care setting 374 Matteo Balestrieri 24 Some wobbly planks in the platform of mental health care 394 Norman Sartorius 25 Treatment gaps and knowledge gaps in mental health: Schizophrenia as a global challenge 403 Assen Jablensky Index 424

    Book SynopsisThoroughly and systematically presents the state-of-the-art in the diagnostic uses of radiologic imaging and nuclear medicine in the diagnosis and management of infectious and inflammatory diseases Although our understanding of microorganisms has advanced significantly and antimicrobial therapy has become increasingly available, infection remains a major cause of patient morbidity and mortality. Imaging of infection and inflammation provides a classic example of radiology and nuclear medicine's strengths as well as weaknesses in the discovery and diagnosis of disease. Fortunately, the weaknesses are subsiding as new studies and techniques point to better planning and precision in the use of single and combined imaging modalities.

  • Biomedical Image Analysis Recipes in MATLAB

    Wiley Biomedical Image Analysis Recipes in MATLAB

    Book SynopsisAs its title suggests, this innovative book has been written for life scientists needing to analyse their data sets, and programmers, wanting a better understanding of the types of experimental images life scientists investigate on a regular basis. Each chapter presents one self-contained biomedical experiment to be analysed. Part I of the book presents its two basic ingredients: essential concepts of image analysis and Matlab. In Part II, algorithms and techniques are shown as series of recipes or solved examples that show how specific techniques are applied to a biomedical experiments like Western Blots, Histology, Scratch Wound Assays and Fluoresence. Each recipe begins with simple techniques that gradually advance in complexity. Part III presents some advanced techniques for the generation of publication quality figures. The book does not assume any computational or mathematical expertise. A practical, clearly-written introduction to biomedical image analysis that provides the tools for life scientists and engineers to use when solving problems in their own laboratories. Presents the basic concepts of MATLAB software and uses it throughout to show how it can execute flexible and powerful image analysis programs tailored to the specific needs of the problem. Within the context of four biomedical cases, it shows algorithms and techniques as series of recipes, or solved examples that show how a particular technique is applied in a specific experiment. Companion website containing example datasets, MATLAB files and figures from the book.

  • Atlas of Dermatopathology

    John Wiley and Sons Ltd Atlas of Dermatopathology

    Book SynopsisImprove your dermatological diagnostic accuracy. The most efficient method in the diagnosis of skin diseases is the combined validation of clinical and histopathological features. The results of biopsy investigation in isolation don't always yield answers. But when considered together, the clinical pattern and the histopathology, then diagnosis can become clearer. In this process the diagnostic impact of histopathology may be decisive or just confirmative to the clinical differential diagnosis. The structure of the book follows a basic approach to morphology, which is overall orientation at scanning magnification first, then identifying a prototypic pattern, and finally finding the essential diagnostic clue(s) under high power magnification. Dermatopathology: Practical Differential Diagnosis by Clinicopathologic Pattern provides top quality images to correlate clinical presentations with histopathologic features.
