Culture and Disabilty is a groundbreaking work on persons with
disabilities from diverse immigrant backgrounds. It is a pioneering
and practical volume dealing with topics that have been too long
ignored. Using a 'cultural broker' model and written by individuals
who have emigrated to the U.S. from countries such as China, Korea,
Jamaica, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic, Providing Cultural
Competent Disability Services contains concrete examples, case
studies, and recommendations that will help rehabilitation
practitioners in their day-to-day activities. Providing Cultural
Competent Disability Service also serves as an excellent
supplemental text for undergraduate and graduate programs in
rehabilitation and related disciplines. -Paul Leung, Ph.D., CRC,
University of North Texas One in ten persons living in the United
States was born in another country, and in many areas this
percentage is much higher. Minority groups are currently
underrepresented in the rehabilitation professions; consequently
many persons with disabilities are served by professionals from a
culture that may be very different than their own. Culture and
Disabilty provides information about views of disability in other
cultures and ways in which rehabilitation professionals may improve
services for persons from other cultures, especially recent
immigrants. Culture and Disabilty includes chapters with
descriptions of the interaction of culture and disability. A model
on "Culture Brokering" provides a framework for addressing
conflicts that often arise between service providers and clients
from differing cultures. Seven chapters discuss the cultural
perspectives of China, Jamaica, Korea, Haiti, Mexico, the Dominican
Republic, and Vietnam, focusing on how disability is understood in
these cultures. Each of these chapters includes a discussion of the
history of immigration to the United States, the role of the family
and the community in rehabilitation, as well as recommendations for
service providers on working with persons from each culture.
Culture and Disabilty is a unique and timely text for students and
instructors in disability-related programs. It is also a vital
resource for service providers who work in cross-cultural
environments.
This is one of the most prestigious and comprehensive texts on
arthritis and related diseases, including osteoarthritis,
rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, lupus and more than one hundred
others. It offers medical students and physicians a concise
description of the current science, diagnosis, clinical
consequences, and principles of management. New and expanded
chapters heighten the translational nature of this edition.
Students, trainees, and practicing clinicians all need a standard
textbook that can change with the times and reflect recent strides
taken in understanding and treating rheumatic disease. The Primer
fills that need.
For eight decades the Primer on the Rheumatic Diseases has been the
standard text from which most medical students and house ofcers
have learned rheumatology. I myself will never forget thumbing
through an older edition of the Primer as a second-year resident,
while waiting to review a perplexing patient with my tutor.
Fortunately the tutor was r- ning late with his own patients, so I
had time to fip through the book - then much thinner - a couple of
times. While turning the pages, per- ing the features of those
diseases whose names were still exotic to me, and considering my
patient's history of conductive hearing loss and p- monary nodules,
a light went on when I stumbled eventually on a part- ular chapter.
I still remember the jaw-dropping efect on my tutor of my
announcement then that I had a patient with Wegener's
granulomatosis. I think I became a rheumatologist that very moment!
Subsequent editions of the Primer have sufered from the inevitable
"obesity creep," making it an outstanding reference textbook but
virtually impossible to fip through quickly while awaiting one's
tutor, and even more difcult to slip into the pocket of a white
coat to carry on rounds. For this reason we have created the Pocket
Primer, a mini version that cuts the larger book down to its
essentials.
This book builds upon the first edition with new and improved
chapters. The book explores the rich assemblage of clinical wisdom
from expert rheumatologists from a wide range of specialties
including Vasculitis and Sjogren's syndrome. It examines the
nuggets or 'pearls' of wisdom gained from collective clinical
experience about the diagnosis or treatment of various diseases
whilst also aiming to debunk myths that have influenced the
practice of rheumatology by many clinicians. The second edition of
A Clinician's Pearls and Myths in Rheumatology is a critical
resource for both practitioners and students of rheumatology. This
book provides a clear guide for those wishing to take a "deep dive"
into the diagnostic and therapeutic elements of rheumatology.
