Rudolf Steiner Press What is Anthroposophic Medicine?: Scientific
Book SynopsisIn this concise summary and introduction, Michaela Glöckler presents the therapeutic spectrum of anthroposophic medicine – its scientific basis, diagnostic methods and potential for practice. She gives numerous practical examples of its application and suggestions for treating patients at home. Anthroposophic medicine is an integrative system that combines scientific training and practice with a spiritual understanding of the human being. It seeks primarily to stimulate self-healing powers, directly supporting recovery processes and innate capacities of resistance. Anthroposophic physicians – registered general practitioners and specialists in all fields – utilize the knowledge and skills of conventional treatments as well as anthroposophic and homoeopathic medicines, external applications, and eurythmy, art and physical therapies. Michaela Glöckler describes the current status of anthroposophic medicine whilst raising awareness of the social dimension of illness and health to address issues of fate and destiny and to show what individuals can do for their own and other people’s health. She reflects on Rudolf Steiner’s call to ‘make the health system democratic’ and clarifies why scientific pluralism of methods and freedom of therapy are essential for the further development of the healthcare system and a modern understanding of disease.

Book SynopsisWritten in association with the Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI), and with contributions from a multitude of recognised experts led by FOGSI (2025-2026) president Sunita Tandulwadkar; the Ethical Evidence-based Recommendations (EEBR) series provides clinicians with the latest updates and advances in the field, with each book focusing on a different subspecialty. Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows on other parts of the body. It can cause painful symptoms that can impact not only the menstrual cycle, but also daily life. Some women with endometriosis have difficulty getting pregnant due to scarring and fallopian tube blockage as well. It is a complex condition affecting women across all life stages, each with unique manifestations and management requirements. This book begins with foundational recommendations on diagnosis, providing practitioners with insights to accurately identify the condition. Then, recognising age-specific needs, the text addresses management in adolescents focusing on early intervention, and in reproductive-age women, where emphasis is on managing endometriosis-associated pain and infertility. Symptom management is a key focus of this book, with both pharmacological and non-pharmacological options considered.

Oxford University Press Inc Low Back Pain
Book SynopsisLow back pain affects almost everyone at some point, and many people struggle with pain or limitations despite multiple attempts at treatment. Current spine care is plagued by variability, over-medicalization of biopsychosocial problems, inequity, and an over-emphasis on interventional and surgical care. Guidelines focused on the short-term management of acute low back pain are generally not followed and have limited applicability. Non-specific and poorly verified diagnoses further confound clinical care. The reality is that low back pain is a chronic recurrent problem for most individuals, and care should therefore be directed toward long-term management and optimization of life and function.Low Back Pain recognizes that all low back pain conditions are not created equally and focuses on effective treatments for a diverse set of low back pain issues. Part of the What Do I Do Now?: Pain Medicine series this text provides concise, evidence-based, and practical guidance on the management of back pain and related spinal disorders. With practical information on effective front-line care for those with low back pain, the cases in this book reflect common or illustrative clinical presentations and a solid framework for evaluating those with low back pain, clarity on specific conditions, and a critical approach to diagnosis and treatment.

Taylor & Francis Criminalising Coercive Control
Book SynopsisDrawing on experiences from other jurisdictions within the UK, Criminalising Coercive Control explores the challenges and potential successes which may be faced in implementing Northern Irelandâs new domestic abuse offence.A specific offence of domestic abuse was introduced in Northern Ireland in March 2021. This represents a crucial development in Northern Irelandâs response to domestic abuse. The new legislation has the effect of criminalising coercive and controlling behaviour, thereby bringing Northern Ireland into line with other jurisdictions within the UK, and also with relevant human rights standards in this regard. The book begins with a discussion regarding the offence itself and the underpinning domestic abuse policy in Northern Ireland. Subsequent chapters explore further measures which may be needed to respond effectively to domestic abuse in Northern Ireland, by drawing upon the experiences of other jurisdictions of criminalising coercive control. These reflections are considered through the lenses of policing, prosecutorial practice and frontline domestic abuse working.Criminalising Coercive Control will be of great interest to students and scholars in a variety of fields, such as criminal law, criminology, social policy, human rights, family law, gender studies and sociology. The book is also accessible beyond academia, including practitioners and those in the voluntary sector who are working in the area of combating domestic abuse.

Book SynopsisWritten in association with the Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI), and with contributions from a multitude of recognised experts led by FOGSI (2025-2026) president Sunita Tandulwadkar; the Ethical Evidence-based Recommendations (EEBR) series provides clinicians with the latest updates and advances in the field, with each book focusing on a different subspecialty. As genetics becomes a more integral part of routine medical practice, it is essential that obstetricians, gynaecologists and other health care providers are aware of advances in the understanding of genetic disease and the fundamental principles of genetic screening and molecular testing. Prenatal genetic screenings and diagnostic tests provide information about the health of a foetus. It can help families and healthcare providers make decisions about a pregnancy or the foetus. Genetic tests check for congenital conditions like Down syndrome, trisomy 13 and spina bifida.The EEBRs in this book begin with an explanation of conventional genetics and cytogenomics, followed by the basics of pedigree charting which diagrams the inheritance of a trait or health condition through generations of a family. The text goes on to discuss screening and testing, and a variety of common genetic disorders. The book concludes with a section on recent advances and research in the field. Other titles in the series include:Antenatal Fetal SurveillanceEndometriosisFibroidsHyperglycemia in PregnancyHypertensive Disorders of PregnancyInduction of LaborPolycystic Ovary SyndromePostpartum HemorrhagePreterm Labor
