ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Turner-Smith, A. / Smith, Alan R. / Turner-Smith, Alan R., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, The musculo-skeletal system undergoes constant micromovement in response to mechanical influences, which in turn effect the healing of fractures, the development of arthritis and osteoporosis, and the body's response to prosthetic implants. At one magnitude, micromovement promotes the healing of fractures, but at a higher magnitude, it inhibits healing. Micromovement of a total joint replacement can lead to bone resorption and subsequent loosening of the prosthesis. To what extent do theory, laboratory measurements of micromovement, and early in vivo measurements relate to each other and to final clinical outcome? What is the role played by physiological feedback in the control of load during the healing of the musculo-skeletal system? Clinicians and engineers together explored the medical implications of micromovement and evaluated methods for its measurement at a meeting held by the Oxford Orthopedic Engineering Centre in April . This book is based on a selection of contributions and the lively debate that followed.
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Welch, Jill, PUBLISHER: WestBow Press, At the peak of the country music boom, Jill Riley-Welch drove to Nashville, guitar in tow, to pursue her gift of songwriting. It was an electric time on Nashville's famed Music Row, where Jill worked as a studio manager and staff songwriter. It was a time when anything could happen. What happened for Jill, though, was the last thing she ever expected. Jill was diagnosed with cancer and eventually refused the proposed surgery to remove an orange-sized mass, believed by oncologists to be yet another tumor. After an indescribable spiritual encounter on the night of her diagnosis, she followed an overpowering tug and walked away from that life on Music Row and into an awakening that changed everything. From stories of hanging out with country music superstars at their inner-circle parties, where five-hundred-dollar bottles of champagne flowed freely, to the narrative of a solitary walk of facing deep, hidden pain that threatened to kill her, this is the record of a supernatural voyage into Jill's discovery of her true identity in Christ.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Aldridge, David, PUBLISHER: Jessica Kingsley Publishers, Working together in a creative way to enhance the quality of living can help patients make sense of dying. Within the past decade, music therapists have developed their work with people who have life-threatening illnesses and with those who are dying. Music Therapy in Palliative Care presents some of the work from music therapists working in different approaches, in different countries. They describe their experiences when working with children and adults living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other chronic degenerative diseases. Music therapists, as clinicians, are strongly engaged with their clients: it is this intimacy which is so important for those who are suffering. In this book, the dedication of the therapist to allow and encourage personal expression in others, is reflected. It is of relevance, therefore, to all those involved in caring for the sick and the dying. While there are traditions of case presentation and musical excellence within music therapy, and a developing practice of research, the tradition of clinical writing has been neglected.
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Turnbull, Collin / Turnbull, Colin M., PUBLISHER: Touchstone Books, "The Forest People" -- Colin M. Turnbull's best-selling, classic work -- describes the author's experiences while living with the BaMbuti Pygmies, not as a clinical observer, but as their friend learning their customs and sharing their daily life. Turnbull conveys the lives and feelings of the BaMbuti whose existence centers on their intense love for their forest world, which, in return for their affection and trust, provides their every need. We witness their hunting parties and nomadic camps; their love affairs and ancient ceremonies -- the "molimo, " in which they praise the forest as provider, protector, and deity; the "elima, " in which the young girls come of age; and the "nkumbi" circumcision rites, in which the villagers of the surrounding non-Pygmy tribes attempt to impose their culture on the Pygmies, whose forest home they dare not enter. "The Forest People" eloquently shows us a people who have found in the forest something that makes their life more than just living -- a life that, with all its hardships and problems and tragedies, is a wonderful thing of happiness and joy.
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bramley, Wyn, PUBLISHER: Free Association Books, Qualified therapists, as well as trainees, are now required to be supervised by an experienced therapist. This book is designed to help those who are just starting out as supervisors and those who may have been supervising for many years. Wyn Bramley proposes an apprenticeship system of supervision that would enable all qualified therapists to get involved. She stresses the need for internal monitoring for both parties and provides a method for this self-supervision. Particular problems, such as supervisees with difficult personality traits are discussed. There are also chapters on the role of ethics and philosophy in supervision, and on clinical teaching. Throughout the book, real case material provides illustration of the author's proposals, ideas and discussions. In order to fulfil the increasing demand for professional accreditation and registration of new therapists, most existing practitioners will have to become supervisors, a skill which in turn will doubtless become accreditable. This book is therefore a must for therapists with an eye to their professional futures.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Doevendans, P. a. / Wilde, A. A. M. / Doevendans, Pieter A., PUBLISHER: Springer, The first edition of Genetics for Clinicians is a handbook to help decision making in cardiovascular patients with a potentially inherited disease.First of all, the basics of molecular cardiology are introduced, followed by contributions of molecular geneticists and clinical geneticists, to show the disciplines involved in DNA diagnostics. Clinicians from around the globe discuss the relevance of genetics for their field of interest covering atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy and arrhythmias. In addition, some rare but relevant connective tissue diseases are covered.In all the chapters the importance of DNA dianostics are categorized. This varies from the notion that a disease is inherited without information on genetics (Category F), to diseases where the exact location of the molecular defect determines the therapy (Category A). This simple classification is provided for the known inherited diseases to help the physician on how to advise and direct the patients. This is not a textbook for geneticists, but a practical guide for clinicians. In addition, the chapters give insight in etiology, pathophysiology and treatment of inherited cardiovascular diseases. Genetics for Clinicians can be read and used in daily practice without extensive knowledge of molecular cardiology.

For once, she was almost able to shake the terrible fear that had gripped her for as long as she could remember. Women in her family had always died young-from cancer-and she and her sisters had grown up in time's shadow. It colored every choice they made and was beginning to come to a head now that each of them approached thirty-five-the deadline their doctors prescribed for having preventive surgery with the hope they could thwart their family's medical curse. But Amy didn't want to dwell on that now. She wanted to plan for a new baby, live her life. And with the appreciation for life's smallest pleasures, she did just that. In "What We Have," Amy shares a deeply transformative year in her family's life and invites readers to join in their joy, laughter, and grief. In a true story as compelling as the best in women's fiction, written with the sagacity of Joan Didion and the elegance of Amy Bloom, Amy Boesky's journey celebrates the promise of a full life, even in the face of uncertainty.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Price, Prentiss, PUBLISHER: New Harbinger Publications, Cyclothymia is a mood disorder characterized by cycling periods of hypomania-unusual emotional highs-and periods of mild to moderate depression. The condition is similar to the better known bipolar disorder, but cyclothymics never experience episodes of full mania or deep depression. In order for a therapist to diagnose someone with cyclothymia, the cycling of moods must continue for at least two years. Since the emotional episodes of cyclothymics tend to be more mild, they often go undiagnosed and untreated. Clinical studies have demonstrated, though, that leaving these symptoms untreated carries a particular risk: between 15 and 50 percent of cyclothymia sufferers will eventually develop a diagnosable bipolar disorder. The Cyclothymia Workbook, the first written specifically to cyclothymia sufferers, helps readers learn more about this condition. It explores hereditary and stress-related possible causes of the disorder, as well as the history of the condition and its treatment. The book offers exercises to help readers recognize their emotional cycles and any conditions that might trigger changes from one phase to another. The book introduces readers to cognitive behavioral techniques that are effective at limiting and controlling shifting moods. Later chapters explore treatment options-medical and psychotherapeutic-and offer advice on how to manage relationships when one partner suffers from cyclothymia.

She is dismissed from her position as psychologist at the Oxford University clinic. And the man she hoped she might love is lost to the demands of new work in a distant land. Elena accepts her agent's request for another world tour, resulting in a huge rush of new publicity and some very public conflict with established authorities. Rachel, a clinical biologist and statistician, approaches Elena for help with the disturbing dreams of one of her patients. Oddly, they mirror Rachel's research findings about a dream pattern that has foretold every major global catastrophe stretching back to the dawn of civilization. That night Elena has precisely the same dream as Rachel's patient, predicting a cataclysmic financial collapse far worse than what brought on the Great Depression. She searches the professional websites and discovers that her most vehement critic has a client experiencing the same repetitive dreams. Together, they form an unlikely alliance, one that threatens to pierce Elena's emotional isolation. All the while, the clock is ticking down to devastation. It's no longer about the dreams. It's about survival.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: McCain, Marian Van Eyk / Van Eyk McCain, Marian, PUBLISHER: J F Bergin & Garvey, This volume presents a holistic, theoretical framework for understanding menopause as a major developmental event in women's lives. Rather than an unpleasant phase to be endured or alleviated, Marian Van Eyk McCain views menopause as an empowering experience that women can use for personal growth. Artfully interweaving her research, years of clinical experience, and her personal perceptions of menopause to create an inspiring new vision of the "change of life." She goes well beyond a discussion of hormones and hot flashes to uncover the deep emotional and spiritual significance of this time in women's lives. This book is not only about change on a personal or physical level but in society as well. McCain lays out historical and cross-cultural beliefs about menstruation and menopause and the attitudes surrounding them (from taboos to reverence) and points out that in our modern society women most often either try to ignore or "make it through" this essential period of womanhood in order to compete in a man's world on male terms. In tune with recent feminist thought, the author says there is a new womanpower emerging, which means that it is time for women to honor their natural cycles. There is no other book that combines the insights, inspiration, and wealth of information contained in this work. It is an important book for the alternative-minded baby-boom generation who are seeking new ways to approach middle age.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Schaeffer, Brenda, PUBLISHER: Hazelden, In this celebratory book, Dr. Schaeffer transports us beyond her best-seller, "Is It Love or Is It Addiction? "and makes clear that love is not an addiction. But "what is love?" Exploring the pain, perils and pitfalls of relationships in our time, grounding herself in extensive clinical experience with love addiction and other disorders of loving, she cracks the mystery of love wide open. Through an enlightened series of "Memos from Love," that came to her in quiet meditation, the book became much greater than her original vision and took on a life of its own. "Love's Way "soars beyond psychology to become the first guide to modern love that does full justice to the power, beauty, mystery, and omnipresence of love itself. With compassion, it reminds us how trauma, betrayal, and the loss of innocence leave our hearts raw, wounded and closed to a love that is right at our fingertips. Love speaks to us directly in this book, and its voice is strong. Besides telling us what love is and is not, love offers body, ego, soul and spirit challenging assignments that assure a vibrant love life and walk us into the 21st Century. Chock-full of modern insight, ancient wisdom, and stories and poems that range from consulting room accounts to the ecstatic songs of Rumi, "Love's Way," will convince readers that whether or not they are in a relationship, they are definitely "in love"-already caught up in love's transforming power. Exercises at the end of this philosophical and profoundly satisfying book add the practical element needed to take love to the streets. For people who have become disconnected from the joys of the heart, this phenomenal book by Brenda Schaeffer is a must read.
