Brain On Fire: My Month of Madness (Paperback): Susannah Cahalan Brain On Fire: My Month of Madness (Paperback)

Brain on Fire is the stunning debut from journalist and author Susannah Cahalan, recounting the real-life horror story of how a sudden and mysterious illness put her on descent into a madness for which there seemed to be no cure 'My first serious blackout marked the line between sanity and insanity. Though I would have moments of lucidity over the coming days and weeks, I would never again be the same person ...' Susannah Cahalan was a happy, clever, healthy twenty-four-year old. Then one day she woke up in hospital, with no memory of what had happened or how she had got there. Within weeks, she would be transformed into someone unrecognizable, descending into a state of acute psychosis, undergoing rages and convulsions, hallucinating that her father had murdered his wife; that she could control time with her mind. Everything she had taken for granted about her life, and who she was, was wiped out. This is Susannah's story of her terrifying descent into madness and the desperate hunt for a diagnosis, as, after dozens of tests and scans, baffled doctors concluded she should be confined in a psychiatric ward. It is also the story of how one brilliant man, Syria-born Dr Najar, finally proved - using a simple pen and paper - that Susannah's psychotic behaviour was caused by a rare autoimmune disease attacking her brain. His diagnosis of this little-known condition, thought to have been the real cause of devil-possessions through history, saved her life, and possibly the lives of many others. Cahalan takes readers inside this newly-discovered disease through the progress of her own harrowing journey, piecing it together using memories, journals, hospital videos and records. Written with passionate honesty and intelligence, Brain on Fire is a searingly personal yet universal book, which asks what happens when your identity is suddenly destroyed, and how you get it back. 'With eagle-eye precision and brutal honesty, Susannah Cahalan turns her journalistic gaze on herself as she bravely looks back on one of the most harrowing and unimaginable experiences one could ever face: the loss of mind, body and self ... a mesmerizing story', Mira Bartok, New York Times bestselling author of The Memory Palace Susannah Cahalan is a reporter on the New York Post, and the recipient of the 2010 Silurian Award of Excellence in Journalism for Feature Writing. Her writing has also appeared in the New York Times, and is frequently picked up by the Daily Mail, Gawker, Gothamist, AOL and Yahoo among other news aggregrator sites.

One third of people after stroke, having survived the first few weeks, return home with significant residual disability, and can therefore benefit from an active, multidisciplinary rehabilitation programme. This is a comprehensive guide to rehabilitation after stroke, in which leading international authorities set out the basic neuroscientific principles that underlie brain recovery, including chapters on neural plasticity and neural imaging, and describe appropriate rehabilitation strategies for the many different functional problems that can arise after stroke. These include movement disorders, sensory loss, dysphagia and dysarthria, problems with continence and secual difficulties, and cognitive disorders. Also covered are measurement of disability and quality of life, assistive technology and vocational rehabilitation. It is therefore an essential handbook and reference for all members of the multidisciplinary stroke rehabilitation team, including medical personnel, therapists, clinical neuropsychologists and rehabilitation nurses.

I questionari di valutazione sono gli strumenti piu utilizzati al giorno d'oggi nel campo della medicina e delle scienze umane per valutare variabili quali la disabilita, l'altruismo o il dolore. Pur tuttavia, spesso i clinici conoscono male questi strumenti. Che cosa misurano veramente? Come debbono essere interpretati i risultati? Questo libro cerca di rispondere a queste domande. Non si tratta di un semplice manuale di utilizzo dei questionari di valutazione. Il suo obiettivo principale e quello di fornire a tutti, ricercatori e clinici, le basi metodologiche necessarie per sviluppare lo strumento-questionario e per interpretarne i risultati. Dopo avere esposto i fondamenti di una misura oggettiva secondo il modello statistico di Georg Rasch, gli autori avanzano una serie di domande che si pongono frequentemente in fase di applicazione. Quali sono i criteri di una misura oggettiva? Si possono interpretare i risultati in modo quantitativo? Come si convalida uno strumento di misura? Le risposte osservate in gruppi diversi di soggetti sono confrontabili tra loro? I primi sei capitoli, arricchiti da numerosi esempi pratici e da esercizi con le relative soluzioni, espongono le basi metodologiche della valutazione quantitativa secondo il modello Rasch. Il settimo capitolo descrive passo dopo passo le tappe dello sviluppo e della validazione di una scala di misura di abilita manuale, gia applicata con successo in Medicina Riabilitativa. Questo libro e il risultato di un lavoro d'equipe dell'Unita di Riabilitazione dell'Universita Cattolica di Lovanio. Il libro e stato tradotto, commentato e adattato da Luigi Tesio, Professore di Medicina Fisica e Riabilitativa della Universita degli Studi di Milano.

This book provides an introduction for psychologists to screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT), an evidence-based approach to identifying and treating substance use across a variety of behavioral health care settings and client populations. SBIRT has proven to be an efficient, cost effective way to identify harmful substance use and related problems and enhance individuals' motivation to change their behavior. Chapters present overviews of screening tools and approaches to brief intervention appropriate for diverse target populations; concrete steps for implementing SBIRT in a range of practice settings; and recommendations for training, advocacy, and policy. Psychologists who learn and implement SBIRT will be better equipped to meet the needs of their clients and help address the public health problem of substance use in this country. br> The aim of this book is to attend to psychologists' reluctance to address substance use with their clients. By engaging clients in proactive, open-minded conversations on this topic, providers can help lower the rates of harmful substance use.

Many examples of community rehabilitation schemes are presented, with evidence for their effectiveness, and case studies are used to highlight the main issues. The authors take an international view, and there are chapters dealing with the disabled child in the community and with neuropsychological rehabilitation. This important book examines the growing trend towards community rehabilitation in neurology and is directed towards all clinicians involved with neurorehabilitation.

Come risulta evidente dalla pratica clinica e riabilitativa, il bambino disprattico non sa prevedere ed organizzare un progetto d'azione; non sa controllare cio' che sta facendo nel corso dell'azione; quindi non sa fare, ma potremmo anche ammettere che non sa ancora fare, non ha cioe ancora imparato a realizzare funzioni.

Funzioni e azioni possono pero' essere rispettivamente apprese e svolte con l'aiuto di esercizi mirati e svolti in modo continuativo. E' comunque indispensabile ricordare le difficolta del bambino disprattico, se sottoposto a compiti nuovi, inusuali. L'Autrice propone un modello di valutazione e di intervento che tenga conto di ipotesi eziologiche e neuropsicologiche, sottolineando la necessita di procedere con un'analisi su diversi livelli: percettivo, motorio e rappresentativo.

Particolare importanza viene data alla diagnosi e all'intervento precoce per poter provvedere alla definizione e messa in atto di adeguati progetti terapeutici.

L'opera si conclude con l'analisi e la descrizione di casi clinici riferiti ad alcune peculiari forme di disprassia: la disprassia verbale e la disgrafia. Infine, vengono illustrati esercizi mirati rispetto ai vari ambiti dello sviluppo, ideati e sperimentati dai logopedisti che hanno contribuito, insieme all'Autrice, alla stesura del presente volume.
