Portland is a young city founded on a river bank in a virgin forest
less than 200 years ago. Shaping Portland: Anatomy of a Healthy
City is about the values engendered by the place, and how those
values have influenced the growing city. It examines how and why
the public realm supports or obstructs the health-forward
lifestyles of those who choose to live there. This book explores
the values and dynamics that shaped a healthy city to enable those
things. It is a case study of a recognized success - looking more
closely at a recent urban infill: the Pearl District. The future
roles of the planners and other design professionals in continuing
to build healthy and responsive environments are suggested. The
cities of the future will be those that we already inhabit, but
infilled and adapted to tomorrow's needs and values. Understanding
the dynamics involved is essential for those in whose hands we
entrust the design of cities and urban places.

Folland, Goodman, and Stano's bestselling The Economics of Health
and Health Care text offers the market-leading overview of all
aspects of Health Economics, teaching through core economic themes,
rather than concepts unique to the health care economy. The Eighth
Edition of this key textbook has been revised and updated
throughout, and reflects changes since the implementation of the
Affordable Care Act (ACA). In addition to its revised treatment of
health insurance, the text also introduces the key literature on
social capital as it applies to individual and public health, as
well as looking at public health initiatives relating to population
health and economic equity, and comparing numerous policies across
Western countries, China, and the developing world. It provides
up-to-date discussions on current issues, as well as a
comprehensive bibliography with over 1,100 references. Extra
material and teaching resources are now also available through the
brand new companion website, which provides full sets of discussion
questions, exercises, presentation slides, and a test bank. This
book demonstrates the multiplicity of ways in which economists
analyze the health care system, and is suitable for courses in
Health Economics, Health Policy/Systems, or Public Health, taken by
health services students or practitioners.
Optimizing Learning Outcomes provides answers for the most pressing
questions that mental health professionals, teachers, and
administrators are facing in today's schools. Chapters provide a
wide array of evidence-based resources-including links to video
segments-that promote understanding, discussion, and successful
modeling. Accessible how-to trainings provide readers with multiple
sensory-based practices that improve academic success and promote
behavioral regulation. Clinicians and educators will come away from
this book with a variety of tools for facilitating brain-based,
trauma-sensitive learning for all, realizing improved learning
outcomes, improving teacher satisfaction, and reducing disciplinary
actions and suspensions.
'I wish I had had not had to write this book because then my lovely
son Reuben would still be alive,' says David Cohen. 'He was
adorable, formidably intelligent, a loving son, a loving brother.
He died far too young. He had the bad luck to have two grandparents
who had addictive personalities. His efforts to resist the lure of
drugs failed. And so did I.' The Book of My Son Reuben is a
personal account of how psychologist David Cohen coped - and did
not cope - with the death of his son, Reuben. Offering a unique
perspective on the experience of parental loss, it offers a
personal and analytical exploration of sorrow and guilt, and of
what research tells us about trauma and grief. Illustrated
throughout with David Cohen's personal insight into how he
continues to navigate his loss, this honest book provides deeper
understanding of loss for parents who have experienced it, as well
as those who support them. The book remembers the many parents who
have lost children throughout history and chapters weave personal
perspectives with the latest research. It examines the experience
of sudden deaths, the failures of society in preventing children
from dying, the role of social media, how the loss of a child
impacts fathers, siblings and relationships, and the usefulness -
and not - of bereavement therapies. A tribute to Reuben's life,
this sensitive volume is for those who have experienced loss and
want to gain better understanding of their experience, as well as
psychologists, psychotherapists and counsellors working with
families.
This practical guide is the ideal tool for the busy practitioner or
speech and language therapist to provide an effective, meaningful,
and contextualised approach to language development using picture
books. Drawing from up-to-date, evidence-based research, each
chapter shows you how to get the most out of picture books to
support language development, with a focus on the range of
opportunities that reading aloud can bring. The guide offers a
complete package to promote speech, language, and early literacy,
and to enrich language comprehension, vocabulary, phonological
awareness, and oral language – all by using books to provide a
context for meaningful language learning. The resource also
includes advice on how to develop intervention goals and outcome
measures for reading aloud, with practical suggestions covering
topics from creating a reading routine and book nooks, to
encouraging reluctant readers and reading aloud challenges.
Language skills are essential for academic, social and
communication success and this reading aloud resource will be
valuable reading for early year educators, primary teachers, and
speech and language therapists working with young children aged
0-7.
Authors are very experienced in the field Techniques are easy to
follow and comprehensive allowing therapists to direct families to
continue exercises at home Additional printable resources for
families Testimonials from families supported by the Total Speech
approach are included The advantage of the proposed book is the
combining of clinical experience with describing techniques that
are not commonly used or acknowledged (i.e. using tactile input in
addition to auditory and visual) to support the speech of children
with additional or complex needs.
Medicine and tourism have become separated in contemporary popular
consciousness. The former implies anything but a pleasurable
experience and the latter presumes a healthy disposition for
participation. We argue that this popular conception of the
separation of tourism and medicine ignores an historical continuity
of lineage from the 18th century pursuit of a 'cure' at resorts and
spas, to 20th century notions of holidays as worker welfare through
to global patient mobility in the quest for cutting-edge medical
interventions in so-called 'untreatable' conditions. Disciplinary
divisions within the academy have reinforced the separation between
medicine and tourism in popular culture, but there is now an
emergent challenge to re-think the medicine/tourism nexus. Under
the influence of transnational health care consumption, two very
contrasting traditions of Western thought are now confronting one
another. This book provides a comprehensive landscape of diverse
research communities' attempts to capture its implications for
existing bodies of knowledge in selected aspects of medicine,
medical ethics, health policy and management, and tourism studies.
This collection aims to fill in the deep gaps of vital
contributions that have been erased from the sexuality field,
illuminating the historical and current work, strategies,
solutions, and thoughts from sexologists that have been excluded
until now. Historically, the US sexuality field has not included
the experiences and wisdom of racialized sexologists, educators,
therapists, or professionals. Instead, sexuality professionals have
been trained using a color-free narrative that does an injustice by
excluding their work as well as failing to offer a fuller
examination of how they have expanded the field and held it
accountable. The result of this wholesale erasure is that today
many sexuality professionals understand these contributions as
extra or tangential, and not part of the full vision and history of
the field of sexology. Highlighting the voices and experiences of
those who have been racialized and thus excluded, isolated, erased,
and yet have still emerged as vital contributors to the North
American sexuality field, this text offers a significant shift in
the way we learn and understand sexuality, one that is expansive
and committed to liberation, healing, equity, and justice. Divided
into three sections addressing safety, movement, and oral
narratives, the contributors offer insightful and provoking
chapters that discuss reproductive justice, LGBTQ themes, racial
and social justice, and gender, and disability justice,
demonstrating how these sexologists have been leaders, past and
present, in change and progression. This futuristic textbook
includes correction, engaged reading, and lesson plans which offers
community workers and trainers an opportunity to use the text in
their non-traditional learning environments. Creating a path
forward that many believed was impossible, this accessible book is
for all who work in and around sexuality. It welcomes inquiry and
celebrates our humanity for the worlds we are building now and for
the future.

The rates of medical bullying, absences by LGBT+ professionals due
to lack of safety in the workplace, and subsequent suicidality for
LGBT+ youth adults are exponentially higher than for non-LGBT+
youth and adults. As a result, many LGBT+ patients and
professionals are suffering needlessly, and many business leaders
are unsure of what to do. This book solves that problem. Featuring
real-life situations and scenarios, a glossary, and further
resources, this book enables professionals in a variety of business
roles to integrate foundational concepts into their everyday
interactions with potential and current employees to create an
overall medical workplace culture that nurtures a welcoming,
inclusive, and affirming environment for all. This book can be
utilized by independent readers, department teams, and entire
medical corporations reading experiences. Setting out best
practices and professional guidance for creating an LGBT+ inclusive
medical workplace, this approachable and easy to follow book guides
medical leaders and anyone working in a medical facility toward
appropriate and proven ways to create safer working environments,
update workplace policies, enhance hiring and staff retention
protocols, and better support LGBT+ employees in the workplace as
well as for LGBT+ patient experiences. The real-life scenarios are
a unique feature of this book. While many offer information, this
book is practical and requires active engagement with the material
for the reader. The scenarios offer the reader the opportunity to
try out the foundational knowledge they obtained in earlier
chapters by giving real business place experiences that others have
been challenged by. After reading the scenario, there are
intentional pointed thought questions, which can be used for
discussion if the book is read in groups or teams. This encourages
teamwork and shared learning. Then, readers will receive guidance
from America's Leading LGBT+ expert, who uses her 25+ years of
experience to guide the reader as if they were receiving
individualized guidance right from her to them!
This book puts the critical into dementia studies. It makes a
timely and novel contribution to the field, offering a provocative
and thought-provoking critique of current thinking and debate on
dementia. Collectively the contributions gathered together in this
text make a powerful case for a more politically engaged,
deconstructive and critical treatment of dementia and the systems
and structures that currently govern and frame it. The book is
interdisciplinary and draws together leading dementia scholars
alongside dementia activists from around the world. It frames
dementia as first and foremost a political category. The book
advances both theoretical and methodological thinking in the field
as well as sharing learning from empirical research. Outlining the
limits to existing efforts to frame and theorise the condition it
proposes a new critical movement for the field of dementia studies
and practice. The book will be of direct interest to researchers
and scholars in the field of dementia studies and wider fields of
health, disability and care. It will provide a novel resource for
students and practitioners in the fields of dementia, health care
and social care. The book also has implications for dementia
policymaking, commissioning and community development.
