Quality Assurance Management: A Comprehensive Overview of Real-World Applications for High Risk Specialties demonstrates how to best design and implement standard operating procedures (SOPs) to ensure protocol and regulation adherence. The book showcases similarities and differences between healthcare and academic quality assurance systems, resulting in counter-productivity and performance issues, in addition to regulatory inspection preparedness. It uses the processes and standards of the UK to demonstrate how to combine QA and research building into ‘building blocks’ that share a common pathway for effective project design, analysis and unbiased interpretation of collated data.This book fills a gap, providing original research in QA that especially focuses on specialist areas. It will be of use to research and clinical staff working in clinical research within healthcare, academia and industry.

Touching Base with Trauma - Reaching Across the Generations - A Three-Dimensional Homeopathic Perspective (Paperback):... Touching Base with Trauma - Reaching Across the Generations - A Three-Dimensional Homeopathic Perspective (Paperback)
Elizabeth Adalian
R589 Discovery Miles 5 890 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Why do we express personal patterns that persist and characterise us throughout our lives? What impact do early influences have on the disease and suffering that we become susceptible to and seem unable to escape in our individual life journeys? How can homeopathy help to resolve cases that seem to be stuck in, or repeat, certain self-defeating patterns? Insights into these questions and many others are shared by the author in the recognition that the underpinning of a case is often not sufficiently understood to unlock the patient from the dominant patterns of disease. Therefore, the importance of early life occurrences in moulding the brain structures is extensively explored in this text as well as the traumatic experiences of previous generations that have been passed down through the ancestral line. The author conveys this approach to healing to a wider audience in order to place homeopathic treatment on the map to address trauma, as well as describing how it can be adapted retrospectively. This book will be of interest to complementary therapists and homeopaths alike, as well as individuals interested in exploring and healing their own life trauma.Based on research in related fields such as anthropology, epigenetics, literature, neuroscience, philosophy and psychotherapy, the findings are substantiated way beyond the homeopathic lens. In this process, cutting-edge ideas are incorporated in line with current thinking to support healing at core level for the types of disease conditions presenting today in practice.

The experience of traumatic events is a near-universal, albeit unfortunate, part of the human experience. Given how many individuals are exposed to trauma, it is interesting to question why some individuals are resilient in the face of trauma while others go on to develop chronic post-traumatic stress. Throughout the relatively brief history of the psychological study of trauma, a number of themes have consistently emerged; many of these themes remain essential elements within our current study of traumatic stress disorders, as summarized within this volume. The Oxford Handbook of Traumatic Stress Disorders addresses the current landscape of research and clinical knowledge surrounding traumatic stress disorders. Bringing together a group of highly-regarded experts, this volume is divided into six sections, together summarizing the current state of knowledge about 1) classification and phenomenology, 2) epidemiology and special populations, 3) contributions from theory, 4) assessment, 5) prevention and early intervention efforts, and 6) treatment of individuals with post-trauma mental health symptoms. Throughout the volume, attention is paid to identifying current controversies in the literature and highlighting directions that hold promise for future work.

As the international community shrinks into a global village, cultures mix, meld, and blur, presenting psychiatric professionals with new challenges: a growing number of patients of different nationalities, ethnicities, and backgrounds. These sociocultural identities, so integral to personality, must be recognized and taken into account when diagnosing and treating mental illness. This is the premise behind transcultural psychiatry.

On the leading edge of an emerging discipline, this compendium by respected clinicians from around the world is one of the first books to offer an in-depth look at transcultural psychiatry. Concise yet comprehensive, "Clinical Methods in Transcultural Psychiatry" draws on a wealth of case studies and relevant clinical experience to provide practicing clinicians with a basic foundation of & ldquo;culturally informed& rdquo; psychiatry on which they can build. Logically organized into six sections, the book begins with an overview of transcultural psychiatry and then moves to the important topic of cultural psychiatry and mental health services. Treatment approaches are addressed next, followed by highlights of recent research; special topics, such as how religious and supernatural beliefs affect behavior; and discussions and recommendations on education and training in transcultural psychiatry. The final section emphasizes families in cultural transition, focusing on the needs of women and children.

Although transcultural psychiatry has never been more relevant than today, most psychiatric textbooks only briefly address it. This fascinating work& mdash;covering everything from the impact of magic and religion in Italy to class, culture, and religionin London& rsquo;s inner city& mdash;familiarizes readers with the principles and practices of transcultural psychiatry, focusing on the significance of cultural factors in the causes and meanings behind the pain and suffering& mdash;as well as the healing& mdash;of mental illness.

Deviance - Theories on Behaviors That Defy Social Norms (Hardcover): Duane L Dobbert, Thomas X. Mackey Deviance - Theories on Behaviors That Defy Social Norms (Hardcover)
Duane L Dobbert, Thomas X. Mackey
R2,049 Discovery Miles 20 490 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Contributors to this unique book explain and compare major theories drawn from several academic fields to uncover the root causes of deviance. In this unparalleled exploration of antisocial and aberrant behavior, criminologists and other experts examine the theoretical perspectives of 15 classical psychological, political science, and economics scholars to shed light on the impetus for deviant behaviors. Murder, mayhem, robbery, sexual assault, and sexual activity with minor children are among the degenerate behaviors cited. Each chapter focuses on the effectiveness of a specific theory, and considers conundrums such as "Does the Darwinian approach explain sexual assault as a drive to procreate?" "Can B.F. Skinner's theoretical perspective explain pedophilia?" and "Can an individual be incompetent at the time of an offense and competent at the time of the trial?" The book reveals how the major psychological, social, and environmental doctrines can explain the behaviors and patterns of a nonconforming mindset. The work addresses the theories of well-known thinkers like Karl Marx, Charles Darwin, Travis Hirschi, and Sigmund Freud, among others. Addresses classical theory in relationship to deviance Interprets, integrates, and synthesizes classical theory regarding deviance from different disciplines Examines the etiology of pedophilia Discusses competency and culpability

Trauma Recovery and Empowerment (Paperback, Original ed.): Maxine Harris Trauma Recovery and Empowerment (Paperback, Original ed.)
Maxine Harris
R971 Discovery Miles 9 710 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This one-of-a-kind guide serves as a rich and essential resource for mental health professionals working with women whose lives have been shattered by the trauma of sexual, physical, or emotional abuse. The principles set forth are based on Maxine Harris's groundbreaking work with some of the most symptomatic trauma survivors, including women who have been incarcerated or institutionalized, and those with histories of drug addiction, serious mental illness, and/or homelessness.

The detailed treatment presented in Trauma Recovery and Empowerment is based on the author's conviction that symptomatic behavior often begins as a survivor's response to overwhelming trauma. Part One of the intervention focuses on empowerment and wellness issues designed to help women overcome feelings of victimization. Women are then better able to tackle the topics in parts Two and Three of the manual on emotional, sexual, and physical abuse and the far-reaching impact such trauma has on their relationships, emotional stability, and careers. Leaders are guided through the intervention with specific discussion questions, a sampling of typical responses, and experimental exercise for each topic. The manual concludes with step-by-step procedures for tailoring the intervention to specific populations.

Even the most skilled therapist may underestimate suicide potential. Careful assessment and competent psychiatric intervention cannot always predict the suicidality of a particular person. "Adolescent Suicide" (GAP Report 140) presents techniques that allow psychiatrists and all those caring for the health and welfare of adolescents to respond to signals of distress with timely therapeutic intervention. It also suggests measures of anticipatory prevention.

"Adolescent Suicide" presents an overview of adolescent suicidal behavior. It explores risk factors, the identification and evaluation of the suicidal adolescent, and approaches to therapy. It offers both historical and cross-cultural perspectives, the relevance of suicide to adolescent development, mental health training needs regarding suicidality, and related issues such as public health policies and medicolegal concerns.

The risk of suicide presents a unique crisis in adolescent development. For this reason, all mental health professionals will find this report an indispensable tool in the treatment of adolescents at risk for suicide. Drawing from years of combined experience, this committee has applied its expertise on adolescent development to the sobering problem of suicide.
