Book SynopsisMedical Art Therapy with Children is a ground-breaking book, the first work to tackle this rapidly growing field. It will be an essential resource for professionals, psychologists, counsellors, play therapists and art therapists working with physically ill children on a day-to-day basis. Medical art therapy is defined as the use of drawings, art expression and imagery with individuals who are physically ill or disabled, or are undergoing aggressive medical treatment such as surgery or chemotherapy. Children in such situations may find it easier to express their emotions, and their fears, through art than through strictly verbal channels. Art making may be a less threatening form of communication: it also encourages the building of a trusting relationship with a clinician.In order to use art therapy effectively with children, clinicians must have practical resources to help them understand the use of art expressions in treatment. Equally important is information on how to choose art tasks for particular goals and on how to help children express themselves through art expression. This collection of contributions, by eminent art therapists, will provide just such a resource. Drawing on case material from a variety of situations, the book describes current research on medical art therapy with children, and practical approaches to using art activities with them. The writers examine art therapy with young patients suffering from burns, cancer, asthma, arthritis, eating disorders and HIV/AIDS.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements. Foreword by Judith A. Rubin. 1.

Drawing on case material from a variety of situations, the book describes current research on medical art therapy with children, and practical approaches to using art activities with them. The writers examine art therapy with young patients suffering from burns, cancer, asthma, arthritis, eating disorders and HIV/AIDS.Trade Review'The author brings together the work of individuals in the expanding area of medical art therapy which has great potential in many areas of paediatric work...Art is not only therapeutic for the creator but also provides diagnostic information. It can provide rich information for health workers and has a healing capacity. The book consists of nine easy-to-read chapters, with specialist authors covering eating disorders, cancer, asthma, HIV/AIDS, burns, chronic painful illness and spirituality. The chapters use case stories to show how children can use art to explore their feelings, beliefs and experiences. As a result, treatments tend to be more successful and children feel more in control of their world...I would recommend this book to teachers and health workers alike. It is a refreshing resource using creativity in the healing of children.' -- Community Practitioner 'Well, it's about time. The medical industry please take note: at last we have a robust and lucid collection of medical art therapy research covering various areas of the industry - providing case studies, research evidence and practical techniques. Brought together by Cathy Malchiodi, director of the Institute for the Arts in Health, this book provides the practical insight and direction needed when using art to address medical conditions with children - a client group which is often overwhelmed and overlooked in experience of illness and treatments. We are invited by Judith Rubin, acclaimed author and art therapist, into this burgeoning field with a supportive and short overall perspective. She highlights art therapy's value within the medical setting where it can influence the healing process and provide valuable information for a diagnostic team. Helping children create art within a medical setting brings familiar and generally enjoyable materials into an unfamiliar and sometimes threatening environment. Children have always instinctively used play or art to cope with stresses over which they have no control. This material brings to life each child's struggle with their illness and medical care, and describes how the use of art offers a "self-rehabilitation tool" to manage and transform their situation. Case studies contributed by art therapists focus on the practical aspects of using art therapy with patients suffering from asthma, burns, cancer, eating disorders and HIV/AIDS. Especially useful are the tasks outlining the range, objective and details of the activity, and eloquent simplicity of this work. Comprehensive references at the end of each section are valuable for further investigation. This is a vital resource for any student of the field and, more importantly, for any health/medical practioner working with physically ill children. I heartily recommend it. ' -- Therapy Weekly '...this American book is a much better read than a great many text books. Although the concepts which it explores are complex, the language is not overly complicated and the general approach is practical and not purely theoretical. Each section highlights in boxes art projects relating to specific cases (e.g. eating disorders, asthma, HIV/Aids). These are simple exercises designed for a stated age range with clearly defined aims, instructions and required materials. Even without expert knowledge, this book does inspire thinking about the value of art-based activity, particularly for children in situations of medical stress. I believe this book is of value to anyone who deals with children, particularly in the context of play. -- Play MattersTable of ContentsForeword by Judith A. Rubin 1.

Book SynopsisThe intention for this book is to outline a framework of clinical yoga therapy practice that addresses the whole child, rather than solely their symptoms. As such, collections of behaviors and clinical symptoms that have tended to co-occur in children will be addressed. The book will explore at least five developmental stages in the growth of children and adolescents, and general guidelines of how to adapt yoga practices for children of different ages and stages. Individuals of any age who suffer from chronic pain deal with a mind-body crisis on a regular basis. The book will explore the all-consuming effects of chronic pain and how children at different ages can learn to cope with it. Yoga for mood regulation in general will be covered and as well as how to differentially apply yoga techniques when the child/teen is experiencing primarily depressive or anxious symptomatology, or eating disorders. Yoga practices for trauma will be covered by age group, since the experience of trauma is radically different from one age to the next.Sensory integration and developmental disabilities will be addressed and illustrations will be used to assist the clinician in developing yoga practices that help child/teen integrate sensory experience. Yoga practices that involve kinesthetic, auditory and visual repetition help these kids stay connected to the world around them, and bring relief from the hallucinations. A Practice Library will be a visual index of all asanas, pranayamas, and other yoga practices discussed throughout the book and the Index will cover both psychological and yogic terms used in the book.Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1 Adaptations for developmental stages Chapter 2 Chronic Pain Chapter 3 Mood regulation, eating disorders and body image issues Chapter 4 Trauma Chapter 5 Suicidal Ideation and self-injurious behavior Chapter 6 Sensory Integration and developmental disabilities Chapter 7 Hallucinations Chapter 8 Practice Library Index

Book Synopsis This atlas offers a step-by-step approach to Thoracoscopic surgery for Congenital Pulmonary Malformation (CPAM) in each major lung resection. This technique is still a matter of debate and is used approxmately by 50% of the surgeons in Europe. The apprehension of the thoracoscopic approach is complicated firstly by the small size of the child to whom it is proposed and secondly by the risks of perioperative or postoperative complications. Furthermore, the pulmonary malformations object of this investigation are rare, thus making this technique difficult to learn and reproduce The volume - the result of a surgical experience acquired since 2007 in this field - offers a step-by-step approach to the procedure in each major lung resection and is illustrated by numerous intraoperative photos, short video clips and even complete resection videos; tips and tricks are presented to facilitate surgery, to make it reproducible and accessible by all surgeons, whether they are young surgeons in training or experienced surgeons. This atlas aims to complement and not to replace the direct observation in the operating room, or the procedure learning by the reader. It offers essential guide for practitioners, trainees and thoracoscopic surgeons interested in CPAM.Table of Contents1 Introduction.- 2 The timing of the surgery.- 3 Technical considerations - "tips and tricks" and postoperative analgesia.- 4 patient position.- 5 the instrumentation.- 6 position of the trocars.- 7 vascular control-bleeding management.- 8 bronchial control - management of air leaks.- 9 Post-operative management-management of complications.- 10 Follow-up.- 11 Upper right lobectomy.- 12 Average lobectomy.- 13 Lower right lobectomy.- 14 Upper left lobectomy.- 15 Lower left lobectomy.- 16 segment definition.- 17 antegrade dissection and identification of vascular and bronchial structures.- 18 extra lobar sequestrectomy.- 19 intralobar sequestrectomy.

Trade Review“A useful addition to the bookshelf and in particular to that of speciality trainees (urology or paediatric surgery) who may be undergoing exit exams, due to the pictorial illustrations which may assist with viva practice.” (Neil Featherstone, urologynews, urologynews.uk.com, May, 1, 2018)“This textbook is easy to read and well-illustrated. Each chapter displays many photographs and hand drawn figures. All paediatricians and urologists involved in paediatric surgery will be satisfied with this excellent work, which can be also recommended to trainees.” (European Urology Today, Vol. 29 (4), August-September, 2017)“It encompasses urological development, congenital and acquired problems, most of which are very specific to childhood, renal tumors of childhood, and reaches into areas of pediatric general surgery and gynecology that are proximate to the urological system. … This is a large, well done book that is also a fast and definitive read on all things related to childhood urology. Those looking to get acquainted with these topics or for a rapid, concise review will find this book valuable.” (Robert M. Arensman, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2017)Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisCongenital glaucoma is a complex problem, which has been a frequent cause of blindness in the past. Over the past decades, the prognosis of congenital glaucoma has completely changed. Surgical results are very good and enable these children to integrate entirely as adults in society.Based on the authors’ accumulated experience of more than 50 years and 860 cases operated for congenital glaucoma, this well-structured and lavishly illustrated textbook-atlas covers all aspects of congenital and infantile glaucoma, such as the original method for examining new-borns under general anaesthesia in the slit-lamp, the signs and symptoms of the disease and the differential diagnosis, the role and importance of the echometry value for early diagnosis, the gonioscopy results and the three types of congenital glaucomas (pure, refractory and late) and the type of surgery to be performed in each case with the evaluation of follow-up long-term results. Written by renowned international experts of the field, this book will become the golden standard in the field of Pediatric and Congenital Glaucomas.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:"It is a comprehensive presentation of the diagnosis, treatment, and pathology of the various causes of glaucoma in children. … This work is intended for ophthalmologists who care for children with glaucoma. Its detailed figures and descriptions of surgical techniques make it ideal for glaucoma surgeons in training as well as practicing glaucoma specialists. … This book provides a unique and authoritative discussion of the diagnosis and surgical treatment of pediatric glaucoma." (Monte Dean Mills, Doody’s Review Service, May, 2009)“This hard-cover book … is divided into 28 chapters on different aspects of congenital glaucoma for specialists and residents. … The book is full of images, which makes it user-friendly… . All in all I would recommend this book, which is certainly a good asset for every glaucoma specialist to have as a reference.” (Michele Iester, Graefe’s Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, Vol. 248, 2010)“Pediatric glaucomas is probably the most interesting and in-depth books on this topic I have ever read. … I highly recommend Pedriatic glaucoma. Besides being a valuable tool for ophthalmologists that deal with this fascinating and difficult topic, this book is surely beneficial for all doctors in search of greater knowledge beyond our modern technological world, which often causes us to forget about the ethical, humane, and non instrumental aspects of our day-to-day clinical work.”­­­ (Paolo Brusini, European Journal of Ophthalmology, 2011)Table of ContentsPrimary Congenital Glaucoma.- Pediatrics Glaucoma.

Book SynopsisDas kindliche Elektroenzephalogramm unterscheidet sich in wesentlichen Punkten vom EEG des Erwachsenen. In jeder Altersgruppe finden sich parallel zur Hirnentwicklung spezifische EEG-Muster, Normvarianten und pathologischen Veränderungen, deren Kenntnis für die Beurteilung essentiell ist. So gibt es eine Vielzahl altersabhängiger Epilepsieformen und anderer Krankheitsbilder, die im Erwachsenenalter unbekannt sind. Eine besondere Herausforderung stellt die Beurteilung des Neu- und Frühgeborenen-EEGs dar.Dieser Leitfaden klärt darüber auf, was bei EEG-Ableitungen im Säuglings- und Kleinkindesalter zu berücksichtigen ist und hilft dabei, EEG-Kurven richtig zu interpretieren und pathologische von normalen Mustern abzugrenzen. Das Buch ist ein unveränderter Nachdruck des gleichnamigen Kapitels aus dem Werk "Klinische Elektroenzephalographie" von Stephan Zschocke und Hans-Christian Hansen. Nützlich ist es insbesondere für Kinder- und Jugendärzten und Neurologen, die mit den Grundlagen der Elektroenzephalographie vertraut sind. Einsteigern zum Thema zeigt dieses Buch auf, wo und wann das EEG im Kindesalter einen Beitrag zur Diagnose leisten kann.Table of Contents1 Neonatales EEG (Früh- und Termingeborene).- 2 EEG vom Säugling bis zur Adoleszenz.- 3 EEG bei pädiatrischen Epilepsiesyndromen.- 4 Neuropädiatrische Krankheiten

So wurde Wert darauf gelegt, die psychischen und somatischen Beschreibungen der Krankheiten für die jeweils fachfremde Gruppe verständlich zu gestalten.Trade Review“...

Book SynopsisGeborgenheit, Autonomie und Erfolg, das wünschen sich junge Menschen. In diesem Rahmen entwickeln sie Lösungsversuche, um sich diese grundlegenden psychologischen Bedürfnisse zu erfüllen. Sind diese nicht angemessen, reagiert die Umgebung oft mit abwertenden Reaktionen. Schnell entsteht bei den Jugendlichen Scham.

Book SynopsisThe course of history is never one of smooth progression. Periods of relative quietness are interrupted by periods of wars and revolution. This pattern resembles that of a river which, before flowing into the delta, has to pass countless rapids. The same holds for the development of the science of medicine. In obstetrics some of these 'revolutions' or 'rapids' consist of the introduction of conservative obstetrical treatment by Lucas Johann Boer at the beginning of the nineteenth century, the discovery of the cause of puerperal sepsis by Oliver Wendell Holmes and Semmelweiss between 1843 and 1847, the introduction of the principle of asepsis by Pasteur in 1874, the introduction of prenatal care at the end of the nine­ teenth and the beginning of the twentieth century (Mijnlieff, Treub, De Snoo), the improvement of surgical techniques, the possibility to treat shock by bloodtransfusion, and, finally, the acquisition of new means for the effective therapy of infection. All these developments have led to a sharp reduction of maternal and perinatal mortality. In this connection it must be pointed out that such a reduction could never have been accomplished without the favourable social changes as a result of which medical and prenatal care could be made universally available. In recent years there has been another revolutionary develop­ ment in obstetrics. Two factors have been responsible for this: the ap­ plication of basic sciences in obstetrics, and the dissolution of the isolation with respect to other clinical disciplines.Table of ContentsPreface.- Gas exchange between mother and foetus and placental design.- Glucose metabolism in the foetus in physiological and pathological circumstances.- Intrauterine pressure and the human foetus.- Foetal heartmonitoring and biochemical examination of the child during labour.- Iatrogenic fetal hypoxia.- The influence of anesthetic drugs on the foetus and newborn.- The influence of anesthesia on the acid-base values of mother and child.- Treatment of asphyxia of the newborn.- The incidence and treatment of hypoglycemia in the newborn.- Panel discussion Part I.- Panel discussion Part II.- Comparison of ventilators for newborns and prematures.- Artificial ventilation of infants.- Pathological findings in ventilated newborns.- Summing-up.- Panel discussion.- Index of subjects.

Book SynopsisThe fight against child mortality that transformed parenting, doctoring and the way we live.Trade Review"A Good Time to be Born is an ambitious, elegant meditation on what the doctor-writer Perri Klass describes as one of our greatest human achievements: a reduction in child mortality... [Klass] takes the most complex human patterns of all—history, medicine, politics, art—and knits them into something unique and beautiful... This is an important book for many reasons, but that Klass has given voice to the voiceless is perhaps the most significant." -- The New York Times Book Review
