Recent literature suggests that patient participation and engagement may be the ideal solution to the efficacy of healthcare treatments, from a clinical and pragmatic view. Despite the growing discussions on the necessity of patient engagement, there is no set of universally endorsed, concrete guidelines or practices. Transformative Healthcare Practice through Patient Engagement outlines the best practices and global strategies to improve patient engagement. This book features a convergence of healthcare professionals and scholars elucidating the theoretical insights borne from successful patient education, and the technological tools available to sustain their engagement. This book is a useful reference source for healthcare providers, students and professionals in the fields of nursing, therapy, and public health, managers, and policy makers.

Part memoir and part medical history, "Real Life Stories" presents remembrances, personal anecdotes, and stories from the life and career of Paul Emerson. It also shares the harrowing and heartwarming story of a young Filipino boy's struggle for survival.

Paul Emerson was born in a small town in Pennsylvania. He grew up in a close-knit extended family in his grandfather's house. But his upbringing was much like those of other young boys who were born in the 1930s. He was seven years old when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, an event that is etched in his mind forever. He shares his memories of growing up and of various events in his adult life.

He also shares the memorable story of Rinor Marcial, a young boy from the Philippines who was badly burned with gasoline during the Christmas holiday one year. After being treated by local medical center, he returned to his bamboo bungalow home, where his sleeping position caused complications. Rinor was discovered by a missionary who was determined to get him admitted to a Shriner's Burns Institute in Galveston, Texas.

His heartwarming story is just one of the many "Real Life Stories" included in this memorable collection from Paul Emerson.

"I Think I Need to Talk to a Doctor" tells author Jason Ventre's life story-so far anyway. He shares his history for many reasons, but chief among them is the need to explain his life experiences so that others may try to avoid having them. Diagnosed with bipolar syndrome, he talks honestly about the repercussions of his decisions-mostly bad ones, when considered on a scale from moderate to devastating. He still deals with repercussions from those choices on a daily basis.

From describing the funny challenges of childhood and trying to figure out what mattered and what didn't to recalling his failed relationships, Ventre paints an honest picture of a boy who was just different. Rather than trying to change who he was, he just went with whatever he felt-with unforgettable results. Now he takes those results and unapologetically turns them into lessons. Ventre reminds us that we all have pasts full of mistakes; although it might be a great thought to say that we can learn from our past, history has shown us that we're more likely to just "think" that we've learned from our mistakes as we continue to make them.

"I Think I Need to Talk to a Doctor" shows that sometimes laughing at our irrational decisions might be the only way to grow from them and hopefully teach others not to travel down the same road of lost maturity.

"A valuable book, fresh with insights."

-Pete Earley, author of Crazy: A Father's Search Through America's Mental Health Madness

Until she experienced her first manic episode at the age of seventeen, author Lizabeth D. Schuch had little knowledge of mental illness. From that point on, her life would never be the same.

In her memoir, "More Than Bipolar," she discusses her twenty-five years of experience with bipolar disorder, sharing the wisdom attained to break the hold of stigma, shame, and fear surrounding this illness.

Schuch reveals the full reality of what living with this illness looks like. She shares the truth, from its manic and depressive extremes to the life lessons of understanding and maturity necessary to live well in recovery. More Than Bipolar also provides information about the importance of getting a proper diagnosis, working with the medical providers, trusting your own instincts about your care, and having the insight to know when the warning signs are leading you in the wrong direction.

"More Than Bipolar" focuses on knowledge gained and strength restored on the path of a complete bipolar journey. It shows that living well with bipolar disorder is possible and may indeed be a part of the diagnostic picture.
