Panacea or revolution? 'Evidence-based medicine' and 'cost-effectiveness' have become buzz-phrases for a wide variety of initiatives and planning processes which aim to give patients treatments that will benefit them. On the surface this seems a reasonable idea, but there are underlying currents which cast doubt on the process and reveal methodological problems, which must be understood if the concepts are to be properly used. Assuming no prior knowledge of the field, and written in the clear, straightforward manner the author uses in the highly successful Health Economics for the Uninitiated, this book is a short practical guide on how to use these concepts, and how to avoid their pitfalls. It will appeal to doctors, nurses, health service managers, patient organizations, academics and students of health care. It will provide essential support to those working in health care companies, and in the pharmaceutical and medical equipment industry.

Thinking about God is historical thinking and that in two senses: the idea of God has a history, and those who think about God think through an historically formed mind. The task of the theologian, is not the attempt to move outside his historicity - such an attempt constitutes a fallacy and not a virtue - but to accept its implications and limitations. Methodologically this means that the theologian must point to the historical perspectives that underlie the idea of God in its development and, in his own constructive thought, must work self-consciously with an historical perspective informed by the psychological and cosmological understanding of his own time. This book centers on that idea which traditionally has been associated with the very godness of God - the idea of divine abso luteness - and puts certain historical, logical, religious and, finally, cosmological questions to it. The roots of that idea lie in Greek thought, which entered Christian theology via the early church is much indication, particularly in Patristic fathers; even so, there trinitarian thought, that the Biblical heritage is pushing theological thlnking towards a social or relative concept of divine being (ch. 1)."

Mit zunehmender UEberalterung der Bevoelkerung kommt den Problemen der psychiatrischen Alterspathologie eine standig wachsende Bedeutung zu. Deshalb ist diesem Thema erstmals im Rahmen der Psychiatrie der Gegenwart ein eigener Band gewidmet, der alle Aspekte der Alterspsychiatrie (Gerontopsychiatrie) umfassend abhandelt. Die Alterspsychologie, die Klinik, das Demenzproblem, die Psychotherapie, die Pharmakotherapie, aber auch Versorgungsprobleme und Fragen der Sterbehilfe werden von kompetenten Fachleuten nach dem heutigen Kenntnisstand dargestellt.

Mit den Grundlagen und Methoden der Psychiatrie schlieBt die 2. Auflage der Psychiatrie der Gegenwart abo Vieles gabe es angesichts dieses SchluBpunktes zu bedenken, manches hat die vier Herausgeber im Laufe der Jahre beschiiftigt, hat ihnen AnlaB zu ausgiebigen Gesprachen gegeben. Autoren sagten zu und sagten ab, neue Perspektiven eroffneten sich und muBten entsprechend gewiirdigt werden. Dankbar gedenken wir der Vorganger, H.W. GRUHLE t, W. MAYER- GROSS t, R. JUNG, M. MULLER. Das Ziel blieb bis zuletzt dassel be: Die Psychiatrie der Gegenwart solI kein Handbuch im klassischen Sinn sein, solI keine liickenlose Darstellung des gesam- ten psychiatrischen Wissens bieten. Sie strebt auch nicht bibliographische Voll- standigkeit an. So spiegelt denn die Auswahl der Themen, ihre Gewichtung nach Seitenzahl vorwiegend das wider, was die vier Herausgeber fUr besonders wichtig und neu erachteten. Am Ende dieser 2. Auflage angelangt, konnte es verlockend sein, sich im Riickblick ein Urteil iiber die Fortschritte der Psychiatrie im Zeitraum von 15 J ahren' zu bilden. Dies auf beschranktem Platz darzustellen, wiirde jedoch den Rahmen eines Vorwortes sprengen. Und gerade hier wiirden sich wohl die unterschiedlichen Meinungen der Herausgeber offenbaren, wiirde der Kon- sensus, der sich in der Themen- und Autorenwahl herauskristallisiert hatte, kaum mehr moglich. So solI denn nur im Rahmen der Grundlagen und Methoden der Psychiatrie, deren erster Band hier vOrliegt und deren zweiter unmittelbar folgt, auf gewisse Unterschiede gegeniiber der 1. Auflage hingewiesen werden.

Is there a place for palliative care within mental health? This inspirational book offers an excellent foundation for integrating best-practice specialist palliative care into serious and enduring mental health service delivery. The shared practice values and vision between these two disciplines provide an optimistic starting point from which to address the lack of palliative care service delivery in mental health practice. Focusing on the similarity in philosophy between palliative care and mental health practice, it incorporates: . person-centred practice . relationship-based connectedness . a belief in compassionate care . respect for autonomy and choice . quality-of-life issues. The book addresses the practice skills needed in preparation for competent intervention and treatment. Each chapter develops a theoretical framework which is supported by practical application. Both professionals and students of palliative care will find the interactive text and practical case studies especially valuable, as will the professional working in substance use. Its userfriendly approach will appeal to a wide range of readers in various related disciplines. 'While it could be assumed that mental health has a lot to offer palliative care, we both [feel] that palliative care could offer more to mental health practice...It is a neglected area. There is little or no literature related to palliative care within serious mental health practice, and that which does exist relates to care of the dying in terms of cancer.' From the Preface

Dieses Buch befasst sich erstmalig mit dem in der Psychiatrie aktuellen Thema des "sozialen Netzwerks" im deutschen Sprachraum. Neben konzeptuellen und methodischen Fragen der Netzwerkforschung werden die Ergebnisse empirischer Untersuchungen zur Beziehung zwischen sozialem Netzwerk und psychischen Stoerungen vorgestellt. Dabei liegt der Schwerpunkt auf der Bedeutung sozialer Netzwerke fur die Entstehung und den Verlauf psychischer Stoerungen, der Auswirkung psychischer Krankheit auf die sozialen Beziehungen der Patienten und dem Einfluss sozialer Netzwerke auf das Krankheitsverhalten. Ausserdem wird die Anwendung des Netzwerkkonzepts in der psychiatrischen Praxis anhand mehrerer Beispiele illustriert. Das Spektrum der berucksichtigten psychischen Stoerungen reicht von Neurosen, psychosomatischen Syndromen und Alkoholabhangigkeit uber funktionelle Psychosen bis hin zu gerontologischen psychiatrischen Erkrankungen. Dem Leser wird ein reprasentativer UEberblick uber den "state of the art" der psychiatrischen Netzwerkforschung im deutschen Sprachraum vermittelt.
