This edited collection presents the concept of lived citizenship as
a fruitful avenue for exploring the role played by social work
practices in the lives of people in vulnerable positions. The book
centres on the everyday experiences through which people practice,
negotiate, understand and feel their citizenship. The authors offer
both empirical analyses of how social work influences the rights,
obligations, identities and belongings of children, homeless
people, migrants, ethnic minorities, and young people with mental
disabilities; and a theoretical framework for analysing the
complexities of social work. Drawing on the notion of intimate
citizenship and an understanding of citizenship as socio-spatial,
the theoretical framework addresses the challenges of enhancing the
agency of social work clients and of promoting inclusive
citizenship, and how these challenges are shaped by emotions,
affect, rationality, materiality, power relations, policies and
managerial strategies. Lived Citizenship on the Edge of Society
will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of
disciplines including social policy and social work.
A state-of-the-art review of the many cognitive, affective, and
behavioral dysfunctions associated with movement disorders. These
dysfunctions include depression, dementia, psychosis, sleep
disorders arising from Parkinson's and Huntington's disease,
Tourette's syndrome, as well as multiple system atrophy,
progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, and many
other related disorders. The authors describe these behavioral
syndromes and their neurophysiological and neuropathological
substratum, as well as their diagnostic criteria and therapeutic
guidelines. The cognitive and affective dysfunctions are spelled
out in detail.
Offering a state-of-the-art, authoritative summary of the most
relevant scientific and clinical advances in the field, Principles
and Practice of Movement Disorders provides the expert guidance you
need to diagnose and manage the full range of these challenging
conditions. Superb summary tables, a large video library, and a
new, easy-to-navigate format help you find information quickly and
apply it in your practice. Based on the authors' popular Aspen
Course of Movement Disorders in conjunction with the International
Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society, this 3rd Edition is an
indispensable resource for movement disorder specialists, general
neurologists, and neurology residents. Explores all facets of
movement disorders, including the latest rating scales for clinical
research, neurochemistry, clinical pharmacology, genetics, clinical
trials, and experimental therapeutics. Provides the essential
information you need for a clinical approach to diagnosis and
management, with minimal emphasis on basic science. Reflects recent
advances in areas such as the genetics of Parkinsonian and other
movement disorders, diagnostic brain imaging, new surgical
approaches to patients with movement disorders, and new treatment
guidelines for conditions such as restless legs syndrome. Features
a reader-friendly, full-color format, with plentiful diagrams,
photographs, and tables. Includes access to several hundred
updated, professional-quality video clips that illustrate the
manifestations of all the movement disorders in the book along with
their differential diagnoses. Enhanced eBook version included with
purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text,
figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.
The works in porcelain and colourful shades of stoneware by Doris
Banks might be modest and reduced in form, colour, and decoration
yet they still possess a remarkable impact and presence. All the
objects are one-offs - modelled, formed, pressed, folded, glazed,
and decorated by hand. As a result, the natural character of the
material remains vivid. With a minimalist aesthetic beholden to
Asia, the ceramic artist's works are characterised by a virtuoso
play of form and surface that allows a tactile experience of
textures on the exterior surface. This monograph is an in-depth
appraisal not only of these works but also of an artist who despite
her early death achieved remarkable things in studio ceramics. Text
in English and German.
Conversion is very common but often misdiagnosed; even when
diagnosed, treatment is difficult. It is critical for physicians to
have the necessary knowledge to manage these patients in the most
effective way. This volume gives all of the available, up-to-date
information on when to think about conversion in movement
disorders, how to make a diagnosis, how to use the laboratory to
support a clinical diagnosis and how to develop a therapeutic plan.
Written by experts in neurology, psychiatry, psychology,
neuroimaging, neurophysiology and genetics, this book covers
psychogenic movement disorders and other conversion disorders from
all of the most relevant clinical angles. An accompanying CD-ROM
with a video library featuring over 100 real-life examples of
movement disorders will aid diagnosis. Neurologists and
psychiatrists, as well as others interested in brain
pathophysiology at the boundary of neurology and psychiatry, will
find this a useful aid to both clinical practice and research.
