Family Therapy and Chronic Illness (Paperback): Joan Atwood Family Therapy and Chronic Illness (Paperback)
Joan Atwood
R1,357 Discovery Miles 13 570 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Treatment for the chronically ill has traditionally focused on physical factors and symptoms, despite the fact that chronic illness also affects life in an emotional and spiritual way. The approach toward treatment described in this volume addresses all aspects of a patient's life, including their interpersonal experiences and relationships, presenting family therapists and family physicians as part of the same treatment team. This volume thus provides a foundation for understanding the role illness plays in family systems. The meaning an individual gives to an illness is profoundly influenced by and influences that person's social world. In turn, social culture and social networks both shape and are shaped by the individual's experiences. Exploring how the meaning of chronic illness is defined tells us much about the individual's interpersonal relations and the resultant meaning given to the person's illness. As a consequence, family therapy must be an integral part of the treatment plan for chronically ill patients . Family Therapy and Chronic Illness approaches chronic illness from a leading-edge perspective. This approach enables therapists to listen attentively to complicated narratives. Because these stories, feelings, and emotions are difficult to describe, the clients have demanding "telling" tasks while therapists have demanding "listening" tasks. This book sends an important message not just about the chronically ill, but also about their families, therapists, and doctors, and how they can work together to develop the best treatment plan possible.

Motor Neurobiology of the Spinal Cord (Hardcover): Timothy C. Cope Motor Neurobiology of the Spinal Cord (Hardcover)
Timothy C. Cope
R1,503 Discovery Miles 15 030 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Traumatic injuries of the spinal cord continue to be the most common cause of permanent paralysis in young adults in the United States. New information has emerged on the response of spinal neurons to injury of either the spinal cord or peripheral nerves demonstrating that dendrites of injured motoneurons take on characteristics of axons. These and other new developments have helped to promote an exciting new era in the study of spinal cord neurobiology.

Motor Neurobiology of the Spinal Cord provides a description of the recent conceptual and technical advances in the field. It provides a description of the new experimental tools available for investigating the neuronal properties that allow populations of spinal cord neurons to control muscles responsible for limb movements and posture. It covers topics ranging from genetics to kinematics and examines cells, tissues, or whole animals in species ranging from fish to humans that are normal, injured, or diseased.

By integrating data derived from many new approaches, you'll learn about how spinal cord circuits operate under a variety conditions and about new and exciting inroads being made in motor neurobiology of the spinal cord. Motor Neurobiology of the Spinal Cord elucidates concepts and principles relevant to function and structure throughout the nervous system and presents information about changes induced by injury and disease.

Arup Chakrabarti
R4,649 Discovery Miles 46 490 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book deals with a potentially sight threatening complication - rupture of the posterior capsule - during cataract surgery. This handbook covers the management of this problem from 3 perspectives: 1.Identifying patients at higher risk and measures to manage such patients by surgical discipline 2.Intraoperative management of posterior capsular rupture (PCR) to minimize long-term complications 3.Post-operative care for a patient who has a PCR Cataract surgery is the most commonly performed surgical procedure in ophthalmology and despite tremendous technical and technological advancements, PCR still occurs. PCR occurs both in the hands of experienced senior surgeons and the neophyte surgeons, although with a higher frequency in the latter group. Additionally, certain types of cataracts are prone to this development. If managed properly in a timely manner the eventual outcome may be no different from that of an uncomplicated case. However, improper management may lead on to serious complications with a higher incidence of permanent visual disability. Written for experienced and not-so-experienced eye surgeons alike to understand and manage PCR.

The Return of Ainu - Cultural mobilization and the practice of ethnicity in Japan (Hardcover): Katarina Sj oberg The Return of Ainu - Cultural mobilization and the practice of ethnicity in Japan (Hardcover)
Katarina Sj oberg
R3,918 Discovery Miles 39 180 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This study discusses cultural change among the Ainu, Japan's indigenous people, its specificity and the circumstances which have led to it. The book focuses on strategies in response to change, laying bare the multiple nature of agency that characterizes the interaction between the Ainu, the larger society and the state. The stress is on cultural aspects of Ainu's contemporary activities and how they have been incorporated into the larger society. The Japanese pursue a policy of assimilating the Ainu but this policy has not been successful, resulting in a resurgence among the Ainu. This is characterized by its emphasis on ethnic features, distinguishing them from the majority of the population who do not recognize the existence of ethnic groups but view them instead as social classes or casts. For the Ainu this strategy serves to firmly define their own position in the larger system, challenging the pre-established social and cultural context of Japanese society.

Male Infertility - Men Talking (Paperback): Mary-Claire Mason Male Infertility - Men Talking (Paperback)
Mary-Claire Mason
R1,148 Discovery Miles 11 480 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

How do men react to diagnosis of male infertility and how, if at all, are all their lives affected by it? Male infertility is commonplace yet the male experience of it has been woefully neglected. "Male Infertility - Men Talking" explores these issues by gathering together men's stories and seeing what common strands, if any, exist between them. Mary-Claire Mason explores the past and present medical management of male infertility as this forms an essential backdrop to the men's stories but the main emphasis is on how men's lives are affected. In the first half of this book, the discovery of sperm and the man's role in reproduction is considered together with a review of how the past affects the present medical management of male infertility and the problems that bedevil it. The male voice predominates in the second half, speaking of painful events and relationships with families and friends, their feeling of isolation, their medical experiences, the importance of biological fatherhood, and their hopes for the future.

Prion Phenomena in Neurodegenerative Diseases - New Frontiers in Neuroscience (Hardcover): Giuseppe Legname, Gabriele Giachin Prion Phenomena in Neurodegenerative Diseases - New Frontiers in Neuroscience (Hardcover)
Giuseppe Legname, Gabriele Giachin
R6,147 Discovery Miles 61 470 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The most fascinating and unique feature of prion diseases is that they are caused almost exclusively by a proteinaceous and infectious particle termed prions by the Nobel Prize laureate S B Prusiner, who discovered this class of pathogens. In the latter part of the 1990s, mad-cow disease, a disease caused by prions acquired through foodborne transmission, raised unprecedented public concern due to the concrete possibility that prions in animals could be transmitted to humans through the food chain. For roughly two decades, prions were under intense scrutiny and many studies were undertaken worldwide. These investigations have led our community to a better risk assessment and management of prion diseases in humans and in animals, substantially limiting the possibility of new prion epidemics. Nowadays, prions have been brought once again to the foreground after the discovery that a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, in particular Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, share fundamental features with prions, including protein misfolding and aggregation in the brain, cell-to-cell transmission and in vivo infectivity. Therefore, studying prions might help to understand the pathological mechanism of these disorders. The Prion Phenomena In Neurodegenerative Diseases: New Frontiers in Neuroscience is a book that benefits from the contribution of leading scientists in different fields of neuroscience, including Gianluigi Zanusso, Holger Wille, Fabrizio Tagliavini, Andrew F Hill, Jerson L Silva, Vladimir N Uversky, Henrike Heise, David W Colby, Neil R Cashman and the Nobel Prize laureate Eric R Kandel. This chapter collection discusses the development of prions and their various diseases, and provides a detailed overview about the state of the art of the novel prion phenomena observed in other fatally damaging protein misfolding disorders. This book represents an up-to-date review of different protein-misfolding diseases, serving as an invaluable tool for both specialized researchers working in the field of neurodegeneration and for a broad spectrum of academic readers that wish to learn more about the prion phenomena.

The Social Psychology of the Child with Epilepsy (Hardcover): Christopher. Bagley The Social Psychology of the Child with Epilepsy (Hardcover)
Christopher. Bagley
R4,224 Discovery Miles 42 240 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

When this title was first published in 1971, there were about 300, 000 people with epilepsy in England and Wales. Nearly one-third of them were children. This book is an integrated review of how epileptic children behaved, and of how they were regarded by parents, teachers and peers at the time. Written by a sociologist with a training in psychology, human biology and education, the book draws on several disciplines - sociology, psychology, biology - in seeking to understand the complex determinants of deviant behaviour in children with epilepsy. The author considers in detail the lives of 118 epileptic children, bringing together and analysing a wide range of measurements of behaviour, social relations and abnormalities of brain function. He discusses how the children fare in school, and how epilepsy affects both the teacher's perception of the child and the child's scholastic performance. The dearth of medical centres which could diagnose and treat epilepsy at the time is examined, and hospital use according to parents' social class is analysed. The author looks at the role of parents of epileptic children and shows that their attitude to epilepsy is of major importance for the child's adjustment. The prejudice to which epileptic children and adolescents were subjected by the world at large is chronicled in detail. Finally the author considers how his empirical material makes a contribution to the theoretical problem of integrating sociology, psychology and biology into a single discipline concerned with the explanation of human social behaviour.

A physician with thirty-five years of experience treating people with brain injuries shares the latest research on concussions and best practices for care. The explosion of attention to sports concussions has many of us thinking about the addled brains of our football and hockey heroes. But concussions happen to everyone, not just elite athletes. Children fall from high chairs, drivers and cyclists get into accidents, and workers encounter unexpected obstacles on the job. Concussions are prevalent, occurring even during everyday activities. In fact, in less time than it takes to read this sentence, three Americans will experience a concussion. The global statistics are no less staggering. Shaken Brain offers expert advice and urgently needed answers. Elizabeth Sandel, MD, is a board-certified physician who has spent more than three decades treating patients with traumatic brain injuries, training clinicians, and conducting research. Here she explains the scientific evidence for what happens to the brain and body after a concussion. And she shares stories from a diverse group of patients, educating readers on prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Few people understand that what they do in the aftermath of their injury will make a dramatic difference to their future well-being; patient experiences testify to the best practices for concussion sufferers and their caregivers. Dr. Sandel also shows how to evaluate risks before participating in activities and how to use proven safety strategies to mitigate these risks. Today concussions aren't just injuries-they're big news. And, like anything in the news, they're the subject of much misinformation. Shaken Brain is the resource patients and their families, friends, and caregivers need to understand how concussions occur, what to expect from healthcare providers, and what the long-term consequences may be.
