Overcoming fear, ambivalence, and inertia to act on behalf of self
or others can be difficult even for mental health clinicians who
are accustomed to helping patients overcome challenges. A
Psychiatrist's Guide to Advocacy explores the diverse definitions
of advocacy and helps to identify methods and opportunities for
advocacy by mental health practitioners. The editors argue for a
greater culture of advocacy among psychiatrists in order to effect
broad and lasting systemic and structural change. A noteworthy
example is the push for insurance coverage parity between mental
health and other medical care. However, legislative advocacy is
just one of the many types explored in the book; advocacy takes
many forms, including patient-level advocacy, organizational
advocacy, education and research as advocacy, and media-targeted
advocacy. Also addressed are specific issues of advocacy for
special populations, including children and families, older adults,
LGBTQ patients, and veterans. Taken together, these chapters
represent a practical toolkit for mental health advocacy in its
myriad forms. In prose both compelling and accessible, the volume *
Identifies five of the most pressing systemic problems in mental
health care (lack of access to quality payer-covered,
evidence-based mental health care; the psychiatry workforce
shortage; lack of parity for mental health care compared with other
forms of health care; the stigma against both consumers and
providers of treatment for mental disorders, including substance
use disorders; and high rates of physician burnout) and explains
how advocacy at different levels can address these issues. *
Describes the essential factors needed for effective advocacy, with
emphasis on pathways to mentorship, providing examples of what
integrating advocacy into the psychiatrist's career path looks like
and identifying strategies to encourage lifelong advocacy*
Delineates the advocacy needs of diverse patient populations,
including children, families, and older adults; LGBTQ, non-native,
and substance-using patients; veterans and military service
members; and more* Includes four substantive interviews with
advocacy role models who embody and embrace the advocate's mission,
expressed in actions and on platforms that are diverse and
illustrative* Includes learning objectives that tell readers what
they can expect to master by the end of each chapter, allowing for
focused reading and easy review A Psychiatrist's Guide to Advocacy
is a call for action and a blueprint for change, providing
clinicians with the foundation for recognizing their opportunities
and embracing their roles as advocates.
Aldo Bernardo and his collaborators extend the translation project
begun with the Familiares to the letter collection of Petrarch's
old age, the Seniles. In these 128 letters, most of which appear
for the first time here in English translation, we find Petrarch's
mature judgment on the central issues of early Italian humanism.
With Boccaccio, to whom he addresses more letters than anyone else,
Petrarch shares his ideas about the literary culture of the age.
Two entire books on the structure and role of the Church are
addressed to Pope Urban V and his secretary, Francesco Bruni, and
another large block of letters on statecraft and political virtue
are addressed to such powerful rulers as Pandolfo Malatesta,
Francesco da Carrara, and Emperor] Charles IV. More personal themes
emerge as well, including Petrarch's thoughts on the passage of
time, the meaning of death, and the loss of friends; on faith,
providence, and life after death; and on eating, drinking, and
fashions in clothing. Petrarch's Latin translation of the patient
Griselda story from Boccaccio's "Decameron" is also found here, and
the collection closes with the famous Letter to Posterity,
Petrarch's final literary self-portrait." - Neo-Latin News THIS
COMPLETE TRANSLATION has long been out of print and is reproduced
here in its entirety in two volumes. Vol. 1, Books I-IX, 368 pp.
