This handbook examines state-of-the-art research and clinical
findings on attenuated psychosis syndrome (APS) across the globe.
It addresses symptoms, assessment methods, and treatment approaches
as they differ and converge across countries and cultures. The
handbook explores how the illness impairs many aspects of daily
functioning, with high rates of suicide and a reduced life span. It
details how early detection is critical and may greatly reduce the
public health burden of the illness. Chapters describe the early
identification and intervention efforts that are currently underway
across the world. The book offers international findings from
prominent researchers, elaborating culturally relevant illness
symptoms, help-seeking behaviors, and assessment and intervention
strategies. In addition, chapters illustrate wide variations in
symptom expression and experience, reinforcing the necessity of
culturally attuned practice in patient-centered care. The book
concludes by examining the implications - challenges and
opportunities - for future research and clinical practices from an
international perspective. Topics featured in the Handbook include:
Barriers to service in low-resourced countries. The role of
traditional or culturally acceptable care in developing early
intervention models. The reliability and validity of tools for
assessing and identifying APS. Possible medical diagnoses that can
present with APS symptoms and how to differentiate these conditions
from APS. The Handbook of Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome Across
Cultures is a must-have resource for researchers, professors,
clinicians, and related professionals as well as graduate students
in child and school psychology, psychiatry, social work, and
related disciplines.
Don Gifford's annotations to Joyce's great modern classic comprise
a specialized encyclopedia that will inform any reading of
"Ulysses". The suggestive potential of minor details was enormously
fascinating to Joyce, and the precision of his use of detail is a
most important aspect of his literary method. The annotations in
this volume illuminate details which are not in the public realm
for most of us. The annotations gloss place names, define slang
terms, give capsule histories of institutions and political and
cultural movements and figures, supply bits of local and Irish
legend and lore, explain religious nomenclature and practices,
trace literary allusions and references to other cultures.
Annotations are keyed not only to the reading text of the critical
edition of "Ulysses", but to the standard 1961 Random House
edition, and the current Modern Library and Vintage texts.
