This book is for those working in a hospital emergency department, as well as health care policy makers and advocates for people with psychiatric disabilities.Trade Review"Emergency Department Treatment of the Psychiatric Patient is a marvelous work. It shows us the ED through the eyes of the patient. Even more important, it shows us how rules and procedures can be set up that help ED personnel to respect and support people with mental illness during what are often their worst moments. This book should be read by everyone who works with people with mental illness."--Charles W.

Oxford University Press Preparing for Weight Loss Surgery
Book SynopsisObesity has quickly become an epidemic. People suffering from significant overweight often have to contend with a lifetime of comorbidities, social stigma, and lower quality of life. Recently, more and more people are undergoing weight loss surgery as a way to resolve these issues.If you are working with pre or post-operative bariatric surgery patients, your goal is to teach them the skills they need to ensure themselves a successful surgical outcome. After surgery, patients are required to adhere to a strict diet and the very specific recommendations of their surgical team. Without a high level of commitment from the patient to follow these recommendations, the potential for maintained weight loss after surgery is very limited.Preparing for Your Weight Loss Surgery, Therapist Guide contains a series of scientifically tested cognitive-behavioural techniques to help you prepare your patient for the post-operative challenges of creating radically changed eating and lifestyle habits. It pTrade Review"These volumes are an extremely useful addition to the field.

These manuals therefore, fill an urgent need to prepare patients, both adolescents and adults, for bariatric surgery and provide sensible guidelines for the patient (and therapist) for the management of potential post-operative problems."

Oxford University Press Emotions Stress and Health
Book SynopsisIn this volume, Alex Zautra illustrates how experience with difficult or stressful emotional situations can, contrary to popular belief, be beneficial; for example, our ability to adapt to stress can be improved by experiencing difficult moments of emotional intensity. Zautra masterfully integrates research and theory on emotion and stress, identifying a unique and important role for stressful life events. He offers new insights into how stress and emotions can influence health and illness and demonstrates the wide applicability of this perspective across domains of love and marriage, work, aging and community. By reviewing research on chronic pain, depression, child abuse, and addiction, Zautra also provides new insights into clinical problems.Trade ReviewWritten for both educated lay people and professionals, Emotions, Stress, and Health will be particularly exciting to researchers and practitioners since it provides a conceptually clean and consistent summary of the approach. There simply is no comparable book on the market; since this 'two-dimensional' model is at the cutting edge of emotion research, Zautra's exciting book has no competitions * Metapsychology Online Review *Writing in a clear and engaging style, Zautra presents a well-organized argument that positive emotions have physical and psychological consequences and need to be examined in their own right alongside the negative emotions. His arguments are convincing, creative, and stimulating - and based on sound empirical research * Choice *Zautra challenges us to face the paradox of emotions by reflecting upon our ability to integrate positive and negative in a two-dimensional, relational field * The Irish Psychologist *Provides many interesting and important aspects of how an individual's life is impacted by a variety of emotions and stress.

Oxford University Press Making of DsmIiir
Book SynopsisIn 1973, the American Psychiatric Association decided to publish a revised edition of their Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). There was great hope that a new manual would display psychiatry as a scientific field and aid in combating the attacks of an aggressive anti-psychiatry movement that had persisted for more than a decade.The Making of DSM-III is a book about the manual that resulted in 1980-DSM-III-a far-reaching revisionist work that created a revolution in American psychiatry. Its development precipitated a historic clash between the DSM-III Task Force - a group of descriptive, empirically oriented psychiatrists and psychologists - and the psychoanalysts the Task Force was determined to dethrone from their dominance in American psychiatry. DSM-III also inaugurated an era in which it and the diagnostic manuals that followed played enormous roles in the daily lives of persons and organizations all over the world, for the DSMs have been translated into many languages.The raTrade Review"In writing her magisterial history of DSM III, Hannah Decker has colorfully captured all the personal dramas, the institutional hijinks, the underlying forces, and the pervasive cultural implications. Born of a process that was never smooth or pretty, DSM III was nonetheless a turning point not only for psychiatry but also for how we see ourselves as individuals and as a society. A joy for historians, a must for clinicians, an eye opener for patients, and a great read for anyone." -- Allen Frances, MD, Head of the Task Force for DSM-IV and Professor Emeritus and Former Chair of the Department of Psychiatry, Duke University "[This] is a landmark work in the history of psychiatry. DSM-III both produced and reflected profound changes in the field of psychiatry whose import-for better and for worse-still reverberates. To my knowledge, this is the first book-length treatise documenting in extra-ordinary detail the process-warts and all-of the making of a psychiatric classification...In fine detail, the author helps us understand why the makers of DSM-III could not come up with a good working definition of 'mental illness,' and even a good working definition of the term they eventually used, 'Mental Disorder.' Tensions among biological, cultural, psychodynamic, and sociological perspectives are an important part of the story of what is so complex, enriching and frustrating in psychiatry... The Making of DSM-III® will remain a perennial guide to understanding much of the complexity of the field of mental health and mental illness." -- Bennett Simon, MD, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School "Decker beautifully details psychiatry's major shift of modern times. She describes very clearly for the reader the science, the culture, and the politics that produced the foundation of present-day psychiatry." -- Roger Peele MD, Secretary, American Psychiatric Association and Member DSM-5 Task Force "Everyone is aware of the significance of the publication of DSM 5 and its capacity to make and break both research and treatment programs. We know this because of the earthquake that was DSM III. Hannah Decker's book brings out how momentous this earthquake was and just what a contested field mental health is. Her account will be widely read and vigorously debated." -- David Healy, MD, FRCPsych, Author of Pharmageddon, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Cardiff, Wales "Dr. Decker's work is important in understanding the context and controversies that surround the DSM, which continue to this day with the recent release of DSM-V. This book will be of interest to people interested in the history of medicine and psychiatry, clinicians and researchers in any mental health discipline, and anyone who is interested in ongoing debates about the field of psychiatry." -- Debbie Sorensen, New Books in Psychology "This book is the most objective and well-documented history of DSM-III; it deserves wide readership." --Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica "The DSM - lll grew out of a conscious plan to help the field of psychiatry become more medically oriented. The story about the personalities of the people who made this happen and the politics surrounding the acceptance of DSM - III by the American Psychiatric Association makes for fascinating reading. Hannah Decker is an historian, and the research for this work is comprehensive. The writing is flawless. The photographs of the protagonists are wonderful. People interested in field of psychiatry can gain an excellent historical appreciation of this rapidly evolving field by reading this magnificent book by Hannah Decker." --Eugene H. Rubin, MD, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry and Vice Chair for Education, Department of Psychiatry, Washington University in St. Louis - School of Medicine "...very engaging." --The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease "Decker offers a refreshing dose of realism about how these manuals have been developed, explaining why decisions were made, but presenting them forthrightly as decisions rather than discoveries." --MetapsychologyTable of ContentsCONTENTS ; Illustrations ; INTRODUCTION ; Section I: The History ; 1.

Oxford University Press Inc Cajals Butterflies of the Soul
Book SynopsisThis book contains a large collection of beautiful figures produced throughout the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century and that represent some characteristic examples of the early days of research in neuroscience. The main aim of this work is to demonstrate to the general public that the study of the nervous system is not only important for the many obvious reasons related to brain function in both health and disease, but also for the unexpected natural beauty that it beholds. This beauty has been discovered thanks to the techniques used to visualize the microscopic structure of the brain, a true forest of colourful and florid neural cells. As illustrated by his marvellous drawings, the studies of Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852-1934) no doubt contributed more than those of any other researcher at the time to the growth of modern neuroscience. Thus, we have honored his name in the title of this book, even though the figures contained in the main body of the book are from 91 authors. Looking at the illustrations in this book the readers will not only marvel at Cajal''s drawings but they will also find that many of the other early researchers that studied the nervous system were also true artists, of considerable talent and aesthetic sensibility. Thus, the present book contains numerous drawings of some of the most important pioneers in neuroscience, including Deiters, Kölliker, Meynert, Ranvier, Golgi, Retzius, Nissl, Dogiel, Alzheimer, del Río-Hortega and de Castro.The book has been divided into two Parts, Part I and II, the latter containing the main body of the work. Part I contains introductory information that will give readers unfamiliar with the nervous system a better understanding of the importance of the scientific illustrations produced in those days. The second part of the book, Part II, contains the collection of 282 figures with the intention of transforming the reader into an observer. These illustrations have been divided in three main categories: Section I, The Benedictine period: The early days; Section II, The black period: Neurons, glia and organization of the nervous system; Section III, The colourful period: internal structure and chemistry of the cells.This book will be of general interest, not only due to the captivating aesthetic appeal of the illustrations but also because they represent the bases of our current understanding of the nervous system. The reader will find that many of the illustrations can be considered to belong to different artistic movements, such as modernism, surrealism, cubism, abstract art or impressionism. Indeed, these illustrations may also provide artists with a source of inspiration since they reveal a fantastic and virtually unknown world of forms, a microuniverse with an aura of mystery.Trade ReviewJavier DeFelipe should be congratulated on assembling such a beautiful book about the earliest microscopic investigations of the nervous system conducated at the end of the 19th century and early 20th century...This book is a wonderful addition to the library of any neuroscientist or neurologist. It is worthy of attention of artists who enjoy the beauty of the natural world. * The Lancet Neurology *I recommend this book unreservedly; and I thank Javier DeFelipe and Oxford University Press for giving us so much beauty. * Brain *...exquisitely illustrated...This book represents the best collection of illustrations and succinct text about the history of discovery of microscopic neuroanatomy I have ever read. The book is attractively priced and should delight anyone with an interest in the nervous system. Encased within a striking dust jacket, sturdy spine, and boards, this book would make a perfect gift to graudating house staff. * Edward J. Fine, MD, FAAN, Neurology *Dr. DeFelipe's book is not just a cofee-table book for viewing century-old stunning pictorial images, it is a highly relevant text for today. Should you spend $75 on this book? If you do, I can guarantee that you will have hours of wonder, gazing at the illustrations and not believing what you see - that is until you next look down your microscope. * Roy O.

Oxford University Press, USA Emotional Development
Book SynopsisFrom prenatal life onwards, our emotions play a central role in our development. Exactly how emotions shape our lives is less clear. We know that emotional impairments can have a disastrous effect on development. We know that emotions play a key role in adaptation. We know that traumatic emotional events can scar individuals. The processes through which these emotional changes occur are complex however, and have recently become the subject of considerable interest in the cognitive sciences. In this volume an outstanding group of scientists considers emotional development from fetal life onwards. The book includes views from neuroscience, primatology, robotics, psychopathology, and prenatal development. It also includes studies of emotional development in both normal and clinical populations. The first of its kind, this book will be of major interest to all those studying emotion, from the fields of social, developmental, and clinical psychology, to psychiatry, and neuroscience.Table of ContentsSECTION I - PSYCHOBIOLOGICAL APPROACHES AND EVOLUTIONARY PERSPECTIVES; SECTION II - COMPARATIVE APPROACHES: TYPICAL AND IMPAIRED EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Oxford University Press Cognitive Behavioural Processes Across Psychological Disorders
Book SynopsisCognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) has established itself as one of the most effective therapies for treating a wide range of psychological disorders. However, research and treatment in this field typically adopts a DSM driven ''disorder-focused'' approach - researchers and clinicians target a specific disorder, try to understand its aetiology and maintenance, and try to develop more effective strategies to treat the disorder. This book proposes an insightful and original approach to understanding these disorders, one that focuses on what they have in common. Instead of examining in isolation, for example, obsessive compulsive disorders, insomnia, schizophrenia, it asks - what do patients with these disorders have in common? It takes each cognitive and behavioural process - attention, memory, reasoning, thought, behaviour, and examines whether it is a transdiagnostic process - i.e., serves to maintain a broad range of psychological disorders.

Oxford University Press Shunned Discrimination Against People with Mental Illness
Book SynopsisPeople with mental illness commonly describe the stigma and discrimination they face as being worse than their main condition. Discrimination can pervade every part of their daily life - their personal life, working life, sense of citizenship, their ability to maintain even a basic standard of living. Though things have certainly improved in the past 50 years, discrimination against the mentally ill is still a major problem throughout the world. It can manifest itself in subtle ways, such as the terminology used to describe the person or their illness, or in more obvious ways - by the way the mentally ill might be treated and deprived of basic human rights. Should we just accept such discrimination as deeply rooted and resistant to change, or is this something that we can collectively change if we understand and commit ourselves to tackling the problem?Shunned presents clearly for a wide readership information about the nature and severity of discrimination against people with mental iTrade ReviewFor those interested in mental health policy on a global perspective, this book is essential. For all of us with the nagging sense that life for our patients is even harder than it needs to be, this book provides ample evidence that our suspicions are both shared and justified. In the end, Shunned is a politcally thoughtful and measured call to arms. The time is now. * Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry *...an important contribution to the literature in an area of concern that is likely to receive increasing attention. sOnce a person is labelled a mentally ill, their decision-making ability is called into question and protests against treatments are either discredited or labelled as one more symptom of mental illness. ... The solution is not seen as lessening stigma but as ensuring people labelled as mentally ill retain the right as citizens to challenge the label and their treatment as well as the right to retain basic control over their lives Perhaps from this recognition, a civil rights movement may grow, dedicated to the liberation of people with mental illness from being marginalised, from being excluded and from being shunned. * BMA Medical Book Competition 2007 *...an excellent text that should be pat of required reading for all social and health care professionals.

Oxford University Press Textbook of Evolutionary Psychiatry and Psychosomatic Medicine
Book SynopsisPsychiatry and Psychosomatic Medicine are concerned with medical conditions affecting brain, mind and behaviour in manifold ways. Traditional approaches have focused on a restricted array of potential causes of psychiatric and psychosomatic conditions - including adverse experiences such as trauma, neglect or abuse, genetic vulnerability and epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Whilst essential for the understanding of mental disorders, these approaches have disregarded important questions such as why the human mind is vulnerable to dysfunction at all.The Textbook of Evolutionary Psychiatry and Psychosomatic Medicine updates and expands the previous edition to provide answers to these questions by emphasising an evolutionary perspective on psychiatric and psychosomatic conditions. It explains how the human brain/mind has been shaped by natural and sexual selection; why adaptations to environmental conditions in our evolutionary past may nowadays work in suboptimal ways; and how huTrade ReviewThis superb book covers the evolutionary underpinnings and basis of psychotherapy...a significant contribution to psychiatry and should be essential reading for any psychiatrist in training...outstanding. * Michael J Schrift, DO, MA, College of Medicine, University of Illinois at Chicago *Table of ContentsPART I: THEORETICAL BACKGROUND; PART II: PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS; PART III: SPECIAL TOPICS

Oxford University Press, USA Philosophical Issues in Psychiatry III
Book SynopsisPsychiatry has long struggled with the nature of its diagnoses. The problems raised by questions about the nature of psychiatric illness are particularly fascinating because they sit at the intersection of philosophy, empirical psychiatric/psychological research, measurement theory, historical tradition and policy. In being the only medical specialty that diagnoses and treats mental illness, psychiatry has been subject to major changes in the last 150 years. This book explores the forces that have shaped these changes and especially how substantial internal advances in our knowledge of the nature and causes of psychiatric illness have interacted with a plethora of external forces that have impacted on the psychiatric profession. It includes contributions from philosophers of science with an interest in psychiatry, psychiatrists and psychologists with expertise in the history of their field and historians of psychiatry.

Oxford University Press Persecutory Delusions
Book SynopsisPersecutory delusions, the unfounded beliefs that others intend harm to the individual, are a major psychiatric problem. They are a common feature of severe mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, delusional disorder and bipolar disorder, often lead to admission to psychiatric hospital, and are a cause of considerable distress to patients and carers. However, increasingly it is recognised that persecutory delusions reflect the severe end of a spectrum of paranoia, which also encompasses beliefs and worries about threats from others that are common in the general population. In the last ten years an increasing number of researchers and clinicians have focussed on explaining paranoid experience in both clinical and non-clinical populations, with fascinating results. This recent research is presented for the first time as a book. In this landmark publication, the three major authorities in the field bring together the current knowledge about the assessment, understanding, and treatment ofTrade Review'Persecutory Delusions is an outstanding book that provides a unique update on the assessment, biological and psychological processes, and treatment of this important clinical phenomenon. Freeman, Bentall, and Garety, all seasoned clinicians who have also made valuable contributions to theories of delusions, have assembled world experts on this topic for the first time in this welcomed volume. The state-of-the-art summary of research, theory, and clinical practice related to persecutory delusions make this book a critical resource for anyone seeking to understand or treat psychosis.' * Professor Kim T. Mueser, Dartmouth Medical School *' Delusions have long been known to psychiatry - but have largely been considered a subset of 'psychosis'. However, over the last decade a range of scientists, psychologists, phenomenologists, pharmacologists, and imagers have been studying delusions in their own right, and social epidemiologists and geneticists have been looking for their causes in clinical populations and wider society. This book is the first to pull together these different perspectives under one cover. For scientists and practitioners who study and treat psychosis this is a remarkable resource.

Oxford University Press Inc Treatment for Hoarding Disorder
Book SynopsisThe relationship people have with their possessions ranges from purely utilitarian to intensely emotional. For most people, their personal possessions provide them with a sense of security, comfort, and pleasure. However, if someone loses the ability to distinguish useful or important possessions from those that make life overly complicated, the objects can become a prison. For people who suffer from Hoarding Disorder (HD), the process of getting rid of unneeded objects is not easy. For them, possessions never feel unneeded and trying to get rid of them is an excruciating emotional ordeal. This Second Edition of Treatment for Hoarding Disorder is the culmination of more than 20 years of research on understanding hoarding and building an effective intervention to address its myriad components. Thoroughly updated and reflective of changes made to the Fifth Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-5), this second edition of the Therapist Guide and accompanying client Workbook outlines an empirically supported and effective CBT program for treating hoarding disorder. This Therapist Guide is written for mental health clinicians-psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, counsellors, and psychiatric nurses-to guide effective treatment of people with hoarding disorder. It provides numerous assessment and intervention forms to help clients use the methods described in the intervention. A major goal of the treatment is to recapture the positive role of possessions in the lives of people with hoarding problems, and strategies are outlined for sustaining gains and making further progress, as well as for managing stressful life events that can provoke problematic acquiring and difficulty discarding.Trade ReviewThese workbooks are essentials for those hoping to offer a structured psychological intervention for this disorder. * Alexandra Quigley, Journal of Mental Health *Table of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction to Hoarding Disorder ; Chapter 2 Evidence-based Treatment for Hoarding Disorder ; Chapter 3 Assessing Hoarding ; Chapter 4 Case Formulation ; Chapter 5 Enhancing Motivation ; Chapter 6 Planning Treatment ; Chapter 7 Reducing Acquiring ; Chapter 8 Training Skills ; Chapter 9 Making Decisions about Saving and Discarding ; Chapter10 Cognitive Strategies ; Chapter 11 Complications in the Treatment of Hoarding Disorder ; Chapter 12 Maintaining Gains ; Appendix Forms and Assessments ; 1.

Book SynopsisLike its predecessors, this fourth edition of A Guide to Treatments That Work offers detailed chapters that review the latest research on pharmacological and psychosocial treatments that work for the full range of psychiatric and psychological disorders, written in most instances by clinical psychologists and psychiatrists who have been major contributors to that literature. Similarly, the standards by which the authors were asked to evaluate the methodological rigor of the research on treatments have also remained the same. Each chapter in A Guide to Treatments That Work follows the same general outline: a review of diagnostic cues to the disorder, a discussion of changes in the nomenclatures from DSM-IV to DSM-5, and then a systematic review of research, most of which has been reported within the last few years, that represents the evidence base for the treatments reviewed. In all, 26 of the volume''s 28 chapters review the evidence base for 17 major syndromes. Featuring this coveragTrade ReviewIt is remarkably thorough without being overwhelming. The information is readily accessible and is useful for clinicians who are referring to it briefly, or opening it to brush up on the literature in a given area.

Oxford University Press Mental Health in the Digital Age
Book SynopsisThe Internet and related technologies have reconfigured every aspect of life, including mental health. Although the negative and positive effects of digital technology on mental health have been debated, all too often this has been done with much passion and few or no supporting data. In Mental Health in the Digital Age, Elias Aboujaoude and Vladan Starcevic have edited a book that brings together distinguished experts from around the world to review the evidence relating to this area. The first part of the book addresses threats resulting from the growing reliance on, and misuse of, digital technology; it also looks at how some problematic behaviors and forms of psychopathology have been shaped by this technology. This section reviews problematic Internet and video game use, effects of violent video games on the levels of aggression and of online searches for health-related information on the levels of health anxiety, use of digital technology to harm other people, and promotion of suTrade ReviewMental Health in the Digital Age is an up-to-date reference work that will be of assistance to any clinician seeking to understand online addiction and the potential for the internet to change clinical practice. * Olav Nielssen, Australasian Psychiatry, 23(6), 2015 *In Mental Health in the Digital Age: Grave Dangers, Great Promise, Aboujaoude and Starcevic bring together technoskeptics and technophilics, who outline potential psychological risks and opportunities of using the Internet. Expert discussions on addiction, violence and bullying are followed up with an analysis of online and digital therapies. The plethora of view points presented overcomes the ubiquitous paragon of risky and problematic Internet use by providing a well-balanced and considered picture of digital technology in the context of mental health." - Daria Kuss, PhD MSc MA BA CPsychol, International Gaming Research Unit, Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham, UKThe book provides a timely, state of the art collection of highly-focused reviews of intriguing professional subjects related to mental health in the era of new media.

Oxford University Press Pharmacology of LSD
Book SynopsisLSD has a controversial and extraordinary reputation, due to the special effects it can induce on human consciousness. Its experimental use lead to some groundbreaking discoveries about the brain and the deeper layers of the human psyche.

Today, there is a resurgence of interest in LSD, including its possible uses in psychotherapy and for the treatment of some headache disorders. This book represents the first ever comprehensive review of the psychological and pharmacological effects of LSD. It draws on data from more than 3000 experimental and clinical studies.The Pharmacology of LSD provides a unique and valuable resource for anyone interested in better understanding this controversial hallucinogenic drug - including brain scientists, psychopharmacologists, addiction researchers, and psychiatrists.Trade ReviewAnnelie Hintzen andTorsten Passies welcome book, The Pharmacology of LSD:A Critical Reader provides an overview of human, animal and molecular experiments involving LSD.

Oxford University Press Placebo Talks
Book SynopsisWhy do red placebos stimulate whereas blue placebos calm? Why do more placebos work better than few? And why do more expensive placebos work better than cheaper ones? These are some of the key questions that often come to mind when we consider the slippery and counterintuitive field of placebo science. Rather than consider placebos through the narrow narrative of sugar pills in clinical trials, this book provides various perspectives on how psychosocial parameters - such as interpersonal rapport, historical and contemporary context, corporate memory, expectation, empathy, hope, conditioning, symbolic thinking, and suggestion - play a role in forming placebo responses and placebo effects. The book provides modern perspectives on placebos in society, including in education, government, industry, media, and current culture. The editors use three different themes to elucidate and elaborate current conceptualizations of placebos and their accoutrements: the Practioner lens, the Cultural lenTrade ReviewBooks of collected papers are rarely either cohesive or persuasive.

Oxford University Press Inc Mental Health in Public Health
Book SynopsisIn the past century there has been awareness of the importance of a global public health perspective in understanding the etiology, course and treatment of mental disorders. However, just recently there has been a focus on population science and with it an evidence-based call to improving public mental health in communities. Mental Health in Public Health synthesizes important topics in public health psychiatry that were discussed at the American Psychopathological Association (APPA) meeting in 2010. The book, like the APPA meeting, aims to bring advanced knowledge of the social and environmental risk factors for psychiatric disorders, as well as ideas for preventing them. Chapters are written by experts from around the world and include such public health concerns as Veteran''s mental health, mental health disparities among minorities, causes of addictions, and mortality of these disorders.Trade Review"This wide-ranging collection of papers illuminates many aspects of mental health as a public health concern. Whether readers' interest is childhood or old age, the United States or the developing world, depression or schizophrenia, they will find something to interest and inform them. Particularly insightful are the "Presidential Perspectives" in which past presidents of APPA muse on what the future holds for psychiatry, in the context of public health. Medical education in the United States largely ignores public health. This book can help to open clinicians' eyes to the gains that can be made by taking a public health approach to some of the seemingly intractable problems of mental disorders worldwide." --- E. Jane Costello, PhD, Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham NC "Mental Health in Public Health is two books in one. Part 1 is a compilation of thoughtful chapters demonstrating the critical role that mental health plays in the public health of populations around the world. Each of the chapters is a variation and exposition on the theme that mental health and public health are two sides of the same coin. The value of this concept is shown from childhood to old age, from the healthy to the medically unhealthy, from populations living in peace to those exposed to the horrors of war, from low income populations and countries to wealthy populations and countries." -- Evelyn J.

Oxford University Press Pathological Altruism
Book SynopsisThe benefits of altruism and empathy are obvious. These qualities are so highly regarded and embedded in both secular and religious societies that it seems almost heretical to suggest they can cause harm. Like most good things, however, altruism can be distorted or taken to an unhealthy extreme. Pathological Altruism presents a number of new, thought-provoking theses that explore a range of hurtful effects of altruism and empathy. Pathologies of empathy, for example, may trigger depression as well as the burnout seen in healthcare professionals. The selflessness of patients with eating abnormalities forms an important aspect of those disorders. Hyperempathy - an excess of concern for what others think and how they feel - helps explain popular but poorly defined concepts such as codependency. In fact, pathological altruism, in the form of an unhealthy focus on others to the detriment of one''s own needs, may underpin some personality disorders.Pathologies of altruism and empathy not onlTrade ReviewScholarly yet surprisingly sprightly volume * International Herald Tribune *I recommend this book to health professionals looking for a deeper understanding of altruism and its motivation. The arguments are clear and scholarly, and supported by a wealth of references. * Nursing Standard *By showing the mix of good intentions with themes such as hording, self-righteousness, and addictions that are taken to extremes, authors provide readers with a strong understanding of how people alleviate their own personal distress by trying to help others. Specific chapters offer varied insights into how altruism affects self-care, relationships, and civic engagement. Taken as a whole, the book helps readers better imagine how they might participate in civil discourse. * PsycCRITIQUES, March 2013 *Table of ContentsPart I: The Psychology of Altruism ; Chapter 1: Pathological Altruism - An Introduction ; Barbara Oakley, Ariel Knafo, and Michael McGrath ; Chapter 2: Empathy-Based Pathogenic Guilt, Pathological Altruism, and Psychopathology ; Lynn E.

Oxford University Press Casebook of Interpersonal Psychotherapy
Book SynopsisInterpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), an empirically validated treatment for depression and other disorders, is becoming more frequently used to treat a range of psychiatric diagnoses. Based on evidence that interpersonal problems contribute to the onset of psychiatric disorders, IPT helps patients to change interpersonal behavior in order to improve psychosocial functioning and relieve symptoms. IPT both relieves psychiatric symptoms and helps to build social skills.Bringing together experts who have treated patients with and conducted clinical research on IPT, the Casebook of Interpersonal Psychotherapy responds to the growing need for a foundational text to supplement the available manuals on IPT. The Casebook provides a wealth of real life treatment material, and illustrates the use of IPT in the hands of expert psychotherapists treating patients with a range of conditions and complications in different IPT treatment formats. The detailed cases give a sense of how IPT proceeds and how it works. Chapter authors describe specific adaptations of IPT for patients with particular disorders, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and personality disorders. The book also covers different contexts in which IPT may be practiced, including group therapy, inpatient settings, and telephone therapy. The Casebook of Interpersonal Psychotherapy is an invaluable resource for psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, psychiatric nurses, and other mental health professionals interested in psychotherapy.Trade ReviewMarkowitz and Weissman succeed brilliantly at interweaving science, medicine, psychology, and culture, and I highly recommend it to clinicians interested in expanding their repertoire and to psychologists interested in contemporary clinical practice. What makes this casebook so compelling is that the editors have succeeded at making IPT accessible to the uninitiated while still providing ample references to the research behind the techniques. * PsycCritiques *Each author provides a thorough review of the literature on treatment effectiveness for the particular situation being explored. This aspect of the book is a powerful reminder of how much the field of psychotherapy research has developed since the advent ofIPT... The editors provide a clear framework for understanding the principles of IPT... This book is an important addition to the literature on brief psychotherapy. It will be useful to both the novice and the experienced psychotherapist. * David I. Joseph for the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, July 2013 *Table of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction ; John C.

Oxford University Press Addictions
Book SynopsisIn the 14 years since the first edition of Addictions was published, a wealth of substantive and crucial new findings have been added to our knowledge of alcohol and other substance use disorders. This primary reference has now been updated and expanded to include 38 chapters, all completely rewritten to reflect new knowledge gained about the science of alcohol and other drugs, as well as new treatment approaches and research trends. Addictions: A Comprehensive Guidebook, Second Edition, features a roster of senior scientists covering the latest findings in the study of alcohol and other drug use, abuse, and dependence. Skilfully edited by Drs. Barbara S. McCrady and Elizabeth E. Epstein, the chapters primarily review the literature published in the last 14 years since the first edition. The volume covers seven different content areas: Section I addresses broad conceptual issues as well as information on the etiology, neuroscience, epidemiology and course of alcohol and other drug use,Trade ReviewThis is a good exploration of etiology, specific drugs, assessment, treatment, and public policy. The contributors, experts in the field, provide evidence-based ideas and research findings. With the advances in research in the 14 years since the previous edition, especially in the areas of neuroimaging and genetics, this update is certainly justified. * Doody's Notes *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments ; About the Editors ; Contributors ; Introduction ; Barbara McCrady and Elizabeth Epstein ; Section I.

Oxford University Press Geriatric Psychiatry
Book SynopsisPart of the Pittsburgh Pocket Psychiatry series, this volume comprehensively and definitively addresses geriatric psychiatry, focusing on depression, dementia, anxiety as well as managing the caregivers.

Designed to be a highly practical, clinical guide for practitioners, each chapter is clearly written by one or more faculty members from Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, many of whom are recognized experts in their field. Self-assessment questions help the student learn the material.Trade ReviewThe range of chapters provides a comprehensive examination of the area of geriatric psychiatry, truly distinguishing it as a unique field and not just as an application of general psychiatry to the geriatric patient... an excellent addition to the literature on geriatric psychiatry.

Book SynopsisAlthough psychotherapy research shares many of the same methodological issues that pharmacology trials do, psychotherapy research poses unique challenges, including the difficulty (if not near impossibility) of keeping participants blind to treatment assignment, the need for a replicable manual and therapist training procedure, the importance of outside observation of therapy quality ratings, and the problems researchers face in measuring the active ingredients of psychotherapy.High Quality Psychotherapy Research is for all psychotherapy investigators who wish to learn state-of-the-art psychotherapy research methods. Organized developmentally, the book explains the conceptualization of the trial, discusses the pilot study and the large scale study, and concludes with instructions for designing a multi-site trial. Topics specific to psychotherapy research are examined in detail, including innovations in data analysis, how to conduct multi-site psychotherapy trials, mediation of treatmenTable of Contents1.
