Rewritten with the new primary care environment in mind, this
greatly expanded and updated edition of Child Mental Health in
Primary Care extends the structured approach of the first edition
to adoelscent mental health. As in the first edition, Primary Child
and Adolescent Mental Health covers each problem in a uniform way,
offering definitions, assessment outlines, detailed management
options and indications for referral. Numerous case examples
further illuminate aspects of many conditions. Comprehensive and
practical, the forty-eight chapters of Primary Child and Adolescent
Mental Health cover the full range of difficulties and disabilities
affecting the mental health of children and young people. The book
is divided into three volumes, and can either be read from cover to
cover or used as a resource to be consulted for guidance on
specific problems. This book is vital for all healthcare
professionals including general practitioners, health visitors and
other staff working in primary care to assess, manage and refer
children and adolescents with mental health problems. School
medical officers, social workers and educational psychologists,
many of whom are in the front line of mental health provision for
children and young people, will also find it extremely useful.
Reviews of the first edition: 'This very comprehensive and detailed
book provides the tools for primary care health professionals not
only to assess a child's needs but in many cases also to implement
an initial package of care.' JUST FOR NURSES 'I have no reservation
in recommending the book to all people working with children and
families in any capacity. An important training text for a variety
of professions. A very effective text to be used in daily practice
for quick reference.' CHILD AND ADOLESCENT MENTAL HEALTH 'This book
is well produced and clearly written. A useful book for anyone
interested or involved with children.' FAMILY PRACTICE 'I looked
through the book again and again but could not find anything
missing.' NURSING TIMES
The Quaking Meeting: transforming our selves, our Meetings and the
more-than-human world. Once, Quakers quaked. Some of us still do. I
discuss individual and communal practices of Waiting Worship. My
theology and practice, like that of first generation Friends, is
mystical. In centring down we can directly experience God's
presence: loving, divine energy sensed in our bodies, which can
cause physical manifestations like quaking. Such practice
transforms our lives, gradually leading us into a life of holy
obedience to the Divine. I have learned from the teachings of early
Friends, both directly, and mediated through Rex Ambler's
Experiment with Light. Yoga and Buddhism have also inspired me. My
findings are illustrated with stories, mostly drawn from my own
life, and with Max Raupach's drawings. In Meetings for Worship we
may sense a mystical communion with God through each other. This is
the gift of the 'gathered meeting'. The 'power of the Lord' made
first generation Friends quake and filled them with power. We, too,
can open ourselves to the loving divine energy, and to the
naturally arising miracles that become possible for those who live
such lives. Transformation may flow through us to others, in an
everwidening spiral, embracing the more-than-human world.
