needs assessment in the National Health Service. The
epidemiological approach to needs assessment is explained
thoroughly, and is then applied to the effectiveness and
availability of services. This definitive guide is ideal for all
those involved in commissioning health care. It is invaluable for
public health professionals, epidemiology and public health
academics, and students of public health and epidemiology. Key

In the past 10 years spirituality and spiritual care have been much
debated in professional healthcare literature, highlighting the
need for a recognised definition of spiritual care to enable
appropriate assessment of, and response to, spiritual issues. This
accessible and highly relevant book surveys the numerous
statements, guidelines and standards highlighted by these
discussions, and equips healthcare professionals with the
knowledge, skills and competence to provide the essence of
spiritual care within their professional practice. Practical and
evidence-based, this manual proves that delivery of good,
professional spiritual care can build on intuitive human skills,
and can be taught, learned, assessed and quantified. It gives
readers the opportunity to move on from uncertainties about their
role in the delivery of spiritual care by allowing them to asses
and improve their understanding, skills and clinical practice in
this area of care. Spiritual Care for Healthcare Professionals
clearly grounds spiritual care in clinical practice. It is highly
recommended for supporting academic study and encouraging
healthcare practitioners to reflect on their practice and develop
skills in spiritual assessment and care. Aimed at all healthcare
professionals, it can be used by individual practitioners for
continuing professional development as well as by academic staff
developing educational programmes.

Combining academic and practical approaches to this important
topic, Numerical and Analytical Methods with MATLAB(r) for
Electrical Engineers is the ideal resource for electrical and
computer engineering students. Based on a previous edition that was
geared toward mechanical engineering students, this book expands
many of the concepts presented in that book and replaces the
original projects with new ones intended specifically for
electrical engineering students.
This book includes:
- An introduction to the MATLAB programming environment
- Mathematical techniques for matrix algebra, root finding,
integration, and differential equations
- More advanced topics, including transform methods, signal
processing, curve fitting, and optimization
- An introduction to the MATLAB graphical design environment,
Simulink
Exploring the numerical methods that electrical engineers use
for design analysis and testing, this book comprises standalone
chapters outlining a course that also introduces students to
computational methods and programming skills, using MATLAB as the
programming environment. Helping engineering students to develop a
feel for structural programming-not just button-pushing with a
software program-the illustrative examples and extensive
assignments in this resource enable them to develop the necessary
skills and then apply them to practical electrical engineering
problems and cases.

clinical, and counseling psychology that demonstrates how decisions
are made with respect to assessment, prevention, and intervention
across situational contexts to ensure successful outcomes for
children and youth. In addition, the volume examines
theoretical,empirical, and practical frameworks and methods with
respect to addressing the mental health and well-being needs of
children and adolescents within and across school, clinical, and
counseling psychology disciplines. In addition, the book presents

evidenced-based approaches for working with children and youth as
well as their families relative to the identification of mental
health concerns, enhanced service system integration, social
justice and advocacy. This book is an essential resource for
