A few hours with this book will provide wisdom that otherwise might take years of frustrating journal submissions to acquire (and not to mention minimize your rejections)." —Steven Goodman, MD, PhD, Johns Hopkins Schools of Medicine and Public Health"Langs earlier book on how to report medical statistics proved so useful to me that I bought a second copy to keep in my home office. His new book features the same type of pragmatic advice on the nuts and bolts of scientific writing. A more descriptive subtitle for this book might be things I wish I knew when I was starting out. This book could have saved me considerable effort over the years." —David A. Grimes, M.D., UNC School of Medicine, Chapel Hill, NC"Tom Lang goes beyond being an expert in health science publishing because his books increase the potential of everyone in the field. In each chapter of this book, he presents realistic examples in considerable detail, allowing readers to learn approaches that are truly helpful to authors and editors." —Cate Timmerman Co-President Palladian Partners, Inc.

Book SynopsisFrom leading authorities, this treatment planner outlines cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and shows how to tailor the treatment to individual clients' needs. Clinicians get a solid understanding of how sleep is regulated and the factors that promote or hinder optimal sleep. The book describes CBT-I components and discusses how to select and sequence them for particular clients, including those with psychiatric comorbidities such as anxiety or depressive disorders. Two chapter-length case examples illustrate the use of a comprehensive case conceptualization as the basis for effective intervention. In a convenient large-size format, the book includes reproducible assessment tools, planning forms, and handouts. Purchasers get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials. The American College of Physicians recommends CBT-I as the initial treatment for all adult patients with chronic insomnia disorder.Trade Review"This manual is destined to become a prime tool in the provision of CBT-I. Manber and Carney deftly instruct therapists in the essential sleep medicine and cognitive-behavioral principles that undergird CBT-I. They guide the therapist in assessing and conceptualizing each case in a way that allows for flexible application and can be nicely tailored to the specific needs of each patient. Perhaps most useful are the two case examples used throughout the book to illustrate how CBT-I principles are applied. This book is a 'must' for all clinicians who are new to CBT-I, but even seasoned behavioral sleep medicine specialists will greatly benefit from the experience and wisdom of these two gifted authors."--Donn Posner, PhD, CBSM, Palo Alto VA Healthcare System; former Clinical Director of Behavioral Sleep Medicine, Sleep Disorders Center of Lifespan Hospitals/Rhode Island Hospital "This excellent treatment manual provides a step-by-step approach to treating insomnia, whether it is the main problem or a condition coexisting with another medical or psychiatric disorder. The book is practical, up to date, and evidence based. It provides all the 'nuts and bolts' for efficient and effective intervention."--Charles M.

Book SynopsisImagine: You are a hospital Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, medical or nursing director, patient safety specialist, quality improvement professional, or a doctor or nurse on the front lines of patient care. Every day youâre aware that patients and families should be more engaged in their care so they would fare better both in the hospital and after discharge; their care could be safer and more seamlessly coordinated; patients should be ready for discharge sooner and readmitted less often; your bottom line stronger; your staff more fulfilled. You enter into new payment models such as bundling with an uneasy awareness that your organization is at risk because you donât know what the care you deliver actually costs. Like most healthcare leaders, you are also still searching for a way to deliver care that will help you to achieve the Triple Aim: care that leads to improved clinical outcomes, better patient and family care experiences, and reduceTrade Review"The spiraling costs of healthcare and diminishing value for organizations, patients, and families requires a new, transformative approach to healthcare delivery.

Book SynopsisEve Shapiro has been writing about patient-centered care, physicianâpatient communication, and relationships between doctors and their patients since 2007. In Joy in Medicine? What 100 Healthcare Professionals Have to Say about Job Satisfaction, Dissatisfaction, Burnout, and Joy, Eve turns her attention to those on the healthcare delivery side of this sacred interaction.These healthcare professionals share their enthusiasm, joys, frustrations, disappointments, insights, advice, stories, fears, and pain, explaining how it looks and feels to work in healthcare today no matter who you are, where you work, or what your position is in the organizational hierarchy.The healthcare professionals who provide patient care deserve our collective interest in their humanity. Without some insight into who they are and the forces with which they struggle every day, we cannot fully appreciate the obstacles to providing the care we all want for ourselves and our families during the best of times, let alone in the uncertain times that lie ahead.Trade Review"Eve Shapiro, in this important book, has contributed two very meaningful insights. First, she has relayed the stories of 100 health professionals in their own words and has given us all a framework within which we can make sense of their stories. Second, she has engaged two powerful currents—burnout within health care and the worst public health challenge in a century—and has given us a reason for hope. This is a book all health professionals, as well as those in the public who care about their welfare, should read."John R. Ball, MD, JD, MACPExecutive Vice President, Emeritus, American College of PhysiciansFormer Chair, Mission Health System, Asheville, NC "In Joy in Medicine?, Eve Shapiro provides unique and valuable insights into understanding the challenge of clinician burnout. We will not fix the myriad problems in healthcare without a deep understanding of what contributes to both joy and burnout. Her in-depth interviews with clinicians provide insights that every healthcare leader needs to understand if they are serious about being part of the solution, rather than part of the problem."Paul DeChant, MD, MBAAuthor, Executive Coach, and Prior CEO, Sutter Gould Medical Foundation"A growing body of research about the physician/caregiver experience identifies the causes, consequences, and remedies for physician burnout and the factors most highly related to physician joy and fulfillment. While this research is certainly informative, in my view, in Joy in Medicine? What 100 Healthcare Professionals Have to Say about Job Satisfaction, Dissatisfaction, Burnout, and Joy, Eve Shapiro’s narrative approach, using firsthand interviews that illuminate real people in real settings, yields rich, qualitative information that has a much greater potential to impact physicians, teams, and organizations. "Those she interviewed share their stories—about highs and lows in their careers, their frustrations and stresses, their joys and satisfaction—and they offer advice to others who seek fulfillment in the practice of medicine. Stories are like pollen. They engage and persuade. They move people to action. They spark conversations with ourselves and others. The stories shared in Eve’s book have that power. Individuals and organizations can use this book to understand and support caregivers and to identify and pursue improvement initiatives in our quest to achieve human-centered care and a gratifying caregiver experience."Wendy Leebov, Ed.D.Author, Creator of Language of Caringwww.languageofcaring.org"Eve’s Shapiro’s book, Joy in Medicine?, is a call to action to save lives: lives of patients and families, and lives of physicians, nurses, and all stakeholders inside (and outside) the traditional healthcare system. Eve interviews 100 men and women who work in the healthcare industry in our country today. She listens to understand, she reflects, and she shares their wisdom and insight (and her own) with the reader. Joy in Medicine? will teach healthcare leaders, people on the front lines of healthcare, patients and families, and communities what must be done to achieve betterment and bring joy back into medicine."Thomas H.

Book SynopsisEvery year the few hundred members of the Committees, Task Forces, and Councils of the American Psychiatric Association meet in Washington, D.C. to conduct their business. They deliberate on a wide variety of issues encompassed in the activities of each group. The psychiatrists constituting this mixed and somewhat elite group include some of the better-known and promising people in the profession, which makes the plenary session and cocktail party good occasions to meet old friends and to make new ones. Several years ago one of us (N.B.L.) attended this gathering as a member of a soon-to-be defunct group, the Committee Liaison with the American College of Physicians, and met Ann Chappell, a member of the Task Force on Women. We were soon joined by Richard Grant.
