From reviews of the previous editions: There are few books that can be considered 'essential' reading in obstetrics but this is certainly one of them. Maternal and Child Health A gem. It is one of those books that an owner will have to replace every year because it will have worn out from constant use... To say that this is book should be 'required reading' is not enough; it deserves 'required ownership'. Birth The editors set themselves an enormous task and have completed it superbly... It is an invaluable tool for anyone working with expectant parents... This is a book I should not like to be without; almost an NCT teacher's bible! New Generation Too good to be true! A condensed version at an affordable price. This is the midwives' bible. MIDIRS

Anhand eines Fallbeispiels soll in diesem Buch aufgezeigt werden, wann und in welcher Reihenfolge verschiedene Modelle im Prozess der therapeutischen Diagnosestellung eingesetzt werden koennen.

In Deutschland haben wir zwei Klassifikationsmodelle, um Kinder mit Problemen und Ressourcen ganzheitlich zu erfassen. Zum einen die ICD-10 (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10. Revision) und zum anderen die ICF-CY (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. Children and Youth Version). In der Vergangenheit hat sich aber gezeigt, dass die ICD-10 und die ICF-CY nicht in Kombination miteinander benutzt werden. Somit entsteht automatisch eine nicht vollstandige Diagnostik. Beide Klassifikationsmodelle wurden aber so entwickelt, dass sie aufeinander abgestimmt sind und sich somit erganzen. Allerdings haben diese Model keine Leitlinie, wann und wo man sie in einem Prozess zum Erstellen einer therapeutischen Diagnose einsetzt. Dieses Buch soll aufzeigen, welche Modelle man benoetigt, um eine therapeutische Diagnose zu erstellen.

Music therapy is an internationally recognised field of professional evidence-based practice. Qualified music therapists use the engaging, non-verbal aspects of music to create relationships in which therapeutic goals can be pursued and needs of clients addressed.
This is the first book to focus specifically on the ways that music therapists provide support for the development of the special and necessary bond between parents and their infants, where some vulnerability is experienced. In the book, music therapists from four countries, Australia, Ireland, the UK and the US describe their practices with reference to contemporary theory and research. Throughout, the chapters are illustrated with engaging case material. Many of the authors are the world leaders in the area of music therapy to promote parent and infant bonding. Others are having their first opportunity to describe their work publicly in print. The focus in each chapter is on the need for this work, the theoretical underpinnings of the practice, and the music therapy practice itself.
The book is arranged in 3 sections. The first section covers work in therapy sessions with children and their parents. The second section describes programmes where the music therapist leads a group of parents with their infants, such as the renowned Sing & Grow in Australia. The final section presents work with medical patients and their families including in the neonatal intensive care unit, and for cancer patients.
The book will be valuable for music therapy practitioners and students, and more broadly for all those in the field of infant mental health.

There are around 5,000 patients in the UK living with Motor Neuron Disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), and many others shouldering the burden of their care. This fatal neurodegenerative disease leads to progressive muscle weakness and wasting, and there is currently non effective treatment. Managing these patients from their initial presentation, through confirmation of diagnosis and throughout their disease journey is challenging for all healthcare professionals. It requires a multi-disciplinary approach involving neurologists, general practitioners, palliative care physicians, specialist nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and speech and language therapists. Each member of the team has different priorities to effectively manage the myriad of symptoms and other practical difficulties, both emotional and financial, that the MND patient may experience.
This book is a comprehensive guide to the complexities of care for the patient with Motor Neuron Disease, written by experienced members of a large care center. It has been specifically written and designed to provide comprehensive, easily accessible advice for all healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with this challenging condition, including diagnostic, prognostic, physical, emotional, and practical challenges. The entire care pathway from presentation to diagnosis to symptom management and end of life issues is addressed in detail, but in a highly structured, easily accessible format that allows the reader to find practical answers rapidly. This book is an invaluable resource for neurologists (including those in training), neurology wards and specialty nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, respiratory and gastroenterology departments providing NIV or PEG support, palliative care teams, and all healthcare professionals with an interest in MND patients.
