Have you, a friend or family member been living with undiagnosed autism?
For every visibly Autistic person you meet, there are countless 'masked' people who pass as neurotypical. They don't fit the stereotypical mould of Autism and are often forced by necessity to mask who they are, spending their entire lives trying to hide their Autistic traits. In particular, there is evidence that Autism remains significantly undiagnosed in women, people of colour, trans and gender non-conforming people, many of whom are only now starting to recognise those traits later in life.
Blending cutting-edge research, personal insights and practical exercises for self-expression, Dr Devon Price examines the phenomenon of 'masking', making a passionate argument for radical authenticity and non-conformity. A powerful call for change, Unmasking Autism gifts its readers with the tools to uncover their true selves and build a new society - one where everyone can thrive on their own terms.

What role does coercion play in psychiatric treatment? Does it
increase or decrease the chances for successful outcome?
"Forced Into Treatment "discusses various aspects of coercion
ranging from the role of coercion in initiation psychiatric
treatment to its effect on treatment process and outcome. The book
demonstrated that a patient who is appropriately forced into
treatment can more from initial defiance, through reluctant
compliance, to a successful therapeutic alliance and a successful
outcome.
In addition, "Forced Into Treatment" addresses - the role of
coercion, power, and authority in socializing children - the use of
coercive social pressure as a motivation to seek help - the effects
of court-ordered treatment for people who have refused psychiatric
help - the historical and legal aspects regarding coercive
treatment
This book focuses on oral health promotion and the impact of
systemic disease in the development of oral disease, as well as how
to introduce, apply, and communicate prevention to a patient with a
defined risk profile. Prevention in Clinical Oral Health Care
integrates preventive approaches into clinical practice, and is a
valuable tool for all health care professionals to integrate oral
health prevention as a component of their overall preventive
message to the patient. Discusses risk-based approaches to prevent
problems such as caries, periodontal disease, and oral cancer.
Topics are written at a level that can be understood by both
practicing dental health team members and by dental hygiene and
dental students so strategies can be applied to better understand
the patient's risk for oral disease and how to prevent future
disease. Identifies the barriers, oral health care needs, and
preventive strategies for special populations such as children, the
elderly, and the physically or mentally disabled. Explores the
development of a culturally sensitive dental practice and
strategies to make the dental environment more welcoming to
individuals with different cultural backgrounds. Discusses how to
gather patient information, the synthesis of the patient's data,
and the application of the information collected in order to
evaluate the patient's risk for disease.
While the genesis of the Certified Child Life Specialists (CCLS) is
in the healthcare setting, the theory and practice of child life
has been successfully applied to environments outside of the
healthcare field. The interest and pursuit of child life roles in
non-healthcare settings have increasingly become of interest to
students and professionals; however, further study is required to
understand the various challenges and opportunities. The Role of
Child Life Specialists in Community Settings serves as an
innovative guide for those interested in pursuing child life in
diverse settings with the education and credentials received
through their child life certification and addresses issues the
field currently faces related to saturation of the field, burn out,
and diversity, equity, and inclusion. The book also serves as a
catalyst to push the profession as a whole beyond its current
healthcare boundaries. Covering topics such as grief, addiction,
disaster relief, and family wellbeing, this major reference work is
ideal for psychologists, medical professionals, nurses,
policymakers, government officials, researchers, scholars,
academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.

Authored by the originator of the standard nomenclature for this
spectrum of disorders, Congenital Heart Disease: A Clinical,
Pathological, Embryological, and Segmental Analysis discusses the
history, anatomic features, and physiologic consequences of CHD-in
one authoritative resource. The Van Praagh approach to the
segmental classification of CHD, developed and implemented by Dr.
Richard Van Praagh in the 1960s at Boston Children's Hospital,
remains widely used today, facilitating communication among
radiologists, cardiologists, surgeons, and pediatricians who are
involved in the diagnosis, characterization, and management of this
disease. This unique atlas offers complete coverage of the
ubiquitous Van Praagh "language" of CHD, including the signs,
symptoms, and clinical manifestations of malpositioned, malformed,
or absent cardiovascular chambers, vessels, and valves using
traditional as well as state-of-the-art technology. Based upon the
systematic, widely accepted Van Praagh system of three-part
notation used to succinctly describe the visceroatrial situs, the
orientation of the ventricular loop, and the position and relation
of the great vessels. Demonstrates how the Van Praagh approach
facilitates interpreting and reporting findings through cardiac
imaging with CT, MR, and ultrasonography, including fetal cardiac
imaging. Presents the pathologic anatomy that pediatric and adult
cardiologists, radiologists, and echocardiographers need to
understand in order to make accurate diagnoses in complex
congenital heart disease; as well as the pathologic anatomy that
interventionists, pediatric cardiac surgeons, and adult congenital
heart surgeons need to know in order to manage their patients
successfully. Features more than 550 high-quality images to help
you visualize and recognize malformations. Shares the knowledge and
expertise of a world-renowned authority on congenital heart
disease-a master teacher and the originator of the Van Praagh
segmental classification system. Explores the synergy between the
various disciplines who manage patient care, including surgeons,
radiologists, cardiologists, pathologists, and pediatricians.

Anti-Aging Pharmacology provides an overview of current research
aimed at the pharmacological modulation of aging, including a
discussion of the growing number of novel drug classes with
promising anti-aging potential. The aging process is the main risk
factor for all chronic diseases affecting the elderly. With
lifespans extending across the globe, these chronic diseases are
placing a larger burden on individuals and health care systems.
Therefore, slowing down the aging rate could be more effective in
delaying aging-associated chronic disorders than combating them one
by one, which is the conventional approach in a current
disease-based pharmacological paradigm. This book contains the work
of the world's leading researchers in the field, including sections
on the conceptual and methodological background of anti-aging
pharmacology, the basic classes of anti-aging drugs,
phytochemicals, outcomes of anti-aging developments and future
directions. This book will be of interest to a wide audience,
ranging from pharmacologists, medicinal chemists and academic
researchers in gerontology, biomedical sciences and those in
medical practice.
