the overall assessment of safety. This edition includes material

`'Sue Kelly rightly perceives that although theories of CPD are
important, the co-ordinator's job is very much about
practicalities. She succeeds very well in showing how it can be
done - starting from self evaluation, moving into ways of
presenting its importance and then on to ways of planning and
organising staff development. Her chapter on evaluating the impact
of CPD is particularly good' - Gerald Haigh, Times Educational

assistant headteacher with responsibility for CPD. You can be sure

The Hidden Super Power of Addiction is based on 45 years of
professional and lived experience and looks at the 'Celebration of
the addictive brain' and the tremendous inherent skills of people
with this particular wiring. Sue Cox explains the way to harness
and embrace that exceptional wiring and shows how amazing it can be
for a person who has left behind their 'drugs of choice' to divert
and transform that relentless drive, and become empowered. More
than anything, this is a hopeful book of transformation and
empowerment. Sue uses a cross-pollination of skills to explore this
positive approach, from Chinese medical theories to neuro-science.
The Hidden Super Power of Addiction explains how the human brain
works, how life events influence us and how the two interact to
make us who we are. It spotlights some outdated and false
assumptions, and explodes some of the long held negativity that is
levelled at addiction and how some addiction services focus is
self-serving not on the addicted person. Sue is constantly
frustrated by the mis-information on addiction including why the
concept of seeing an addicted person as 'ill' is disempowering and
limiting to real recovery and rather than continually concentrating
on the individual's 'defects' and trying to find where they are at
fault, she suggests that it is our quickly moving society where the
problem lies and addicts themselves are just born in the wrong
century!
Auricular Acupuncture & Addiction provides a comprehensive
guide to the use of ear acupuncture for the treatment of substance
abuse. Rather than focus on the procedural details, it concentrates
on the neurological basis of addictive behaviour and its treatment.
The treatment itself is straightforward to administer, what is more
important is a deep understanding of the addicted patient. It
provides a thorough grounding in the theory of Chinese medicine and
integrates Chinese medical theory with modern biomedical concepts.
Interest in the use of ear acupuncture in the treatment of
addiction has grown swiftly. This book is an important step towards
taking acupuncture out of `alternative' medicine and integrating it
within a modern health service. Key Features: * Scientific
explanation of the theories of Qi energy and Yin-Yang * Detailed
presentation of the neurological basis of addictive behaviour *
Physiological effects of misused drugs discussed in detail *
Integrates Chinese medical theory with modern biological concepts *
Explains how this clinical intervention can be used in any
treatment programme within a variety of settings * Reviews the
latest research into the subject * Includes a comprehensive guide
to the SMART UK teaching protocol and emphasises the scientific
nature of this model * Written by two leading experts in auricular
acupuncture and substance misuse * Illustrated throughout in two
colours Auricular Acupuncture & Addiction will be important for
all students and practitioners working in the addiction field. It
will be of particular value to those with an interest in the use of
acupuncture as an adjunctive tool in the treatment of addiction.
The Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding were written in 1989.
Since then, there has been an incredible advancement in our
knowledge of the early physiology of neonates in the first hours
and days after their birth. The new knowledge provides excellent
evidence for the reader to share with hospital administrators and
colleagues on how following the Ten Steps will lead to exclusive
breastfeeding, decreased breast pathology, decreased infant
morbidity and safe parenting following discharge. The evidence in
this book will be helpful to maternity hospital administrators who
wish to advertise they offer best care in their maternity units, as
hospitals need to be able to provide what clients have learned
about BFHI from other sources, such as books, DVDs and the
internet, to be the best care for happy and healthy families.
Whether you are an International Board Certified Lactation
Consultant or a maternity health professional this easy to read,
well-referenced book will help you in your quest for BFHI
accreditation for your maternity unit. This will also be a helpful
handbook for use by WIC staff members in their discussions with
local and state hospitals to assure that their clients, independent
of financial resources, race or religion, will receive the best
care in a maternity hospital. The evidence in this book will be
particularly helpful in demonstrating to maternity hospital or
maternity unit administrators how implementing the Ten Steps to
Successful Breastfeeding will help in decreasing the need for staff
and equipment in a well-baby nursery; in increasing bedside care
for postnatal women to educate them in the safe care of their
infants after discharge from hospital, therefore decreasing the
re-admission of neonates to hospital; in lessening admission of
small vulnerable formula-fed infants to their pediatric unit with
preventable infections; and in decreasing staff absenteeism to care
for their ill formula-fed infants.
