Open University Press Psychodynamic Approaches To Sexual Problems
Book Synopsis* How do we currently understand sexual dysfunction?* How can psychodynamic theories contribute to an understanding of sexual difficulties?* How can we treat sexual problems psychodynamically?Counsellors and therapists can be hesitant about addressing the sexual problems of their clients from any perspective and sometimes lack the confidence to tackle the issues as they arise. This is the first book to describe comprehensively a specifically psychodynamic approach to sexual dysfunction. It reviews the range and nature of sexual difficulties, and evaluates the relevance of psychodynamic theory and interventions to the understanding, assessment and treatment of sexual problems with individuals and couples. It is illustrated throughout with helpful case study material. It shows how physical and cultural understandings of sexuality and sexual difficulty need to be an integrated part of work with clients.Psychodynamic Approaches to Sexual Problems Table of ContentsIntroductionThe nature of sexual problemsThe main sexual problemsPsychodynamic foundationspsychoanalysis, object-relations and couple relationshipsA psychodynamic approach to sexuality and sexual problemsGeneral and psychodynamic aspects of the assessment of sexual problemsWorking psychodynamically with sexual problemsBibliographyIndex.

John Libbey & Co Falls in Epileptic Nonepileptic Seizures during
Book SynopsisAt the Mariani Foundation meeting held in Milan, October 1995, highly qualified specialists were invited to assist in understanding of the basic principles of cerebral development and brain function, with specific attention to those structures and mechanisms involved in the phenomenon of falls. Epiliptologists illustrate the different semiologic modalities and clinical conditions in which the fall is an essential symptom. A main part of the book is dedicated to the medical and surgical treatment of syndromes where falls appear in the foreground. This volume has the mission of improving life conditions of children who suffer from drop seizures, by limiting the risks to which they are subjected, and to try and compensate for the psychological and social limitations affecting them.

John Libbey & Co Benign Childhood Partial Seizures Related
Book SynopsisThe most important advance in recent epileptology is the recognition of epileptic syndromes and diseases, most of which are well defined and easy to diagnose. The benign childhood partial seizures syndromes exemplify the importance of a precise diagnosis and classification of epilepsies. They are common, and have an excellent prognosis which is better than that of febrile convulsions. Paediatricians and clinical neurophysiologists are now familiar with the Rolandic seizures but are not yet accustomed to diagnosing other benign childhood partial seizures and in particular benign childhood occipital seizures which are often confused with cerebral insults or migraine. The aim of this reference book is to describe the clinical and EEG manifestations of benign childhood partial seizures with particular emphasis on the occipital seizures which are often more characteristic, easier to diagnose and, in some cases, more benign than Rolandic seizures.

Cambridge University Press TreatmentRelated Stroke Including Iatrogenic and InHospital Strokes
Book SynopsisUp to 15% of all strokes occur in hospitalized patients, many of whom are there for surgical procedures or cardiac disorders. Outcomes can be poor, with high mortality - possibly related to co-morbidities and the complexities of hospital care. Risk factors for in-hospital stroke include specific operations and procedures (such as cardiac surgery), previous medical disorders (especially a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack), and certain physiological characteristics (including fever and dehydration). More rapid diagnosis and evaluation for interventional therapies is needed. This major new book examines the causes of treatment-related stroke in most hospital-based situations. Therapeutic approaches â including interventional therapies and intra-arterial thrombolysis â are highlighted, including experimental agents and interventions where other treatment possibilities are limited.

Cambridge University Press Queen Square A History of the National Hospital and Its Institute of Neurology
Book SynopsisAs the first neurological hospital in the world, founded in 1859, the National Hospital, Queen Square, and its affiliated Institute of Neurology remain leading neurological centres providing exceptional clinical services, teaching and research. Illustrated by over 100 historical images and much unpublished archival material, this book provides a comprehensive history of the National Hospital, the Institute, and their staff. It relates the ups and downs of the Hospital and Institute in war and peacetime, their financial struggles, many personality conflicts, efforts to remain independent and to maintain neurological dominance, academic and clinical contributions, issues relating to specialisation and subspecialisation and relations between disciplines, and the changing roles of the Hospital and Institute. The history is told from varying perspectives against the backdrop of the evolution of British clinical neuroscience, the special position of London medicine, and the influence of worlTrade Review'Shorvon and Compston … have produced a volume of really exceptional quality. … This book, a model of its kind, may become a landmark in the history of hospital medicine in the UK.' Ralph Ross Russell, Brain'The book traces the history of the NHQS since its inception in 1859 until 1997. It was a voluntary hospital until 1948 when the NHS arrived but remained an independent hospital until it joined the University Hospital London NHS Trust in 1996. Readers might be interested to know that the venerable institution came about because of two philanthropic sisters, Johanna and Louisa Chandler and their brother Edward … In short, this is a fascinating, detailed and scholarly read. It is a beautiful book to hold and look through with plenty of photographs. ' Barbara A. Wilson, Neuropsychological Rehabilitation'The book is well illustrated, including the hospital building at various ages including architectural designs, and, of course, the people … The book is recommended highly as a valuable historical reference, but also for some entertaining reading about the history of neurology, many important neurologists, and the interesting place where they worked.' Mark Hallett, World Neurology'This book describes the story of the National Hospital Queen Square and its medical school and the Institute of Neurology during the period of 1859 to 1997 … This book relates the complex history from a number of difference perspectives … I very much enjoyed reading the excellent book and strongly suggest my colleagues and friends to read it too.' Pedro Ruiz, The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease'… this book is a must-read for anyone who has an interest or background in neurology. The authors and contributors have produced an absorbing clinical, cultural and historical biography of one of the world's great medical institutions-a gargantuan task. The Queen Square lineage indeed remains strong.' Matthew C.

Cambridge University Press MedicationResistant Epilepsy
Book SynopsisFifty million people worldwide have epilepsy and yet up to 35% of patients experience seizures that are resistant to anti-epileptic drugs. Patients with medication-resistant epilepsy have increased risks of premature death, psychosocial dysfunction and a reduced quality of life. This key resource delivers guidance for all clinicians involved in caring for patients with medication-resistant epilepsy in order to reduce these risks. Covering the epidemiology, biology, causes and potential treatments for medication-resistant epilepsy, this definitive and focused text reviews the clinical care needs of patients. Guidance is practical and includes treatment for specialized groups including pediatric patients and those with psychiatric comorbidities. Several promising non-pharmacologic interventions available for patients, such as surgery, neuromodulation diet therapy and botanical treatment are explored in detail. Leading international figures from a range of disciplines bring their expertise together holistically in this essential manual.Trade Review'This is a wonderful textbook that systematically covers a complex and challenging subset of epilepsy patients. The novelty lies in the fact that there are few textbooks that offer such a comprehensive review - medication resistant epilepsy is often relegated to a single chapter in other comparable textbooks in epilepsy.
