The Romans knew that Nero was insane.
Shakespeare’s Macbeth asked his doctor to treat "a mind
diseased." The physicians of the Enlightenment era
pondered whether the inmates in the asylums were mad or
simply bad.
-
Edwin Wallace is a well-known
historian in psychiatry and medical psychology
-
Contributors are well-known scholars
in the areas covered
-
There are no recent books covering so
wide a time span
As a discipline, psychiatry has always
walked a fine if not easily defined line between social
and biological science. History of Psychiatry and
Medical Psychology traces this evolution in its social,
political, and philosophical contexts, charting the rise
of psychology as a legitimate field of scientific
pursuit, and of psychiatry as a medical specialty. An
interdisciplinary team of noted historians (including
Sander Gilman, Dora Weiner, Hannah Decker, and the
recently deceased dean of American psychiatric history,
George Mora, M.D.) has distilled centuries of history -
protracted debates, false starts, and missteps included
- resulting in an engaging and inspiring narrative of
history and methodology in the making.
-
The birth of brain science in
antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance
-
The roots of modern psychiatry in the
French Revolution
-
Changing concepts of schizophrenia and
depression
-
The influence of neurology on
psychiatry
-
Evolutions in treatment: mental
institutions, hypnotherapy, pharmacotherapy
-
The emergence of psychoanalysis and
"national psychologies" in Europe and America
-
Modern critiques, including the
chapter "Psychiatry’s Sickness and Its Biological
Cure".
Its wide scope, divergent viewpoints,
and insistence on viewing historical periods through
their own lenses and not our own makes this History a
valid textbook for courses in the history of psychiatry,
psychology, and medicine. At the same time, it is
accessible enough for the lay reader with some
background in the field.

The
Struggle Against Mourning

The main questions raised in this book are: How does
the analyst help the patient to be in touch with pain and
mourning? Is the relinquishment of defenses always
desirable? And what is the analyst's role in the mourning
process - should the analyst struggle to help patients
relinquish defenses against pain and mourning, which they
may experience as vital to their precarious psychic
survival? Or should he or she accompany patients on their
way to self-discovery, which may or may not result in the
patients letting go of their defenses when faced with the
pain and mourning inherent in trauma? the utilization of
various defenses and the resulting unresolved mourning
reflect the magnitude of the anxiety and pain that is
found on the road to mourning. The ability to mourn and
the capacity to bear some helplessness while still finding
life meaningful are the objectives of the analytic work in
this book.
The special contribution of this book is the provision
of a detailed description of the analyses of patients who
have employed an array of defenses in order to avoid
facing the painful feelings inherent in mourning in
specific life situations. Often, the cases are illustrated
with verbatim exchanges from the sessions. The reader is
invited to be "present" and follow the intimate
patient-therapist dialogue from a close perspective,
learning about the problems and dilemmas of both patient
and therapist when confronted with loss. |

Functional Analytic Psychotherapy,
Creating
Intense and Curative Therapeutic Relationships

Published: 2007 ISBN:

- Provides conceptual framework not isolated
techniques
- Offers a psychotherapeutically useful version of
radical behaviorism
- Contains ethical guidelines
- Covers borderline, narcissistic and multiple
personality disorders
As cognitive behavior therapy becomes increasingly
integrated, Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP)
remains a rich therapeutic method. FAP synthesizes aspects
of psychodynamic and object relations therapy with
traditional CBT methods, and author/ practitioners Robert
Kohlenberg and Mavis Tsai originally created this book to
be more than a simple how-to manual. Rather it is a
powerful framework for clinicians seeking to rethink their
approach to the therapeutic relationship. Now in
paperback, this classic work is more relevant than ever.
The book begins with the theory behind the therapy
(including its roots in B. F. Skinner’s behavior-analytic
work in the 1970s), explaining why clients’ unique needs
may extend beyond well-mapped routes to change. From
there, the authors present the clinical principles of FAP
and their uses in treating diffuse, resistant problems.
Case illustrations model the therapeutic dyad, show FAP
techniques in action, and offer crucial caveats.
- The ground rules: how, and why, FAP works.
- Recognizing clinically relevant verbal behaviors.
- The role of the self in personality disorders.
- New roles for cognitions and beliefs in therapy.
- Memories and emotions: what they can and can’t do to
promote change.
- How FAP fills the niche between psychodynamic and
behavioral therapy.
- Key issues in ethics, research, and supervision.

Part of the new series Advancing the Research Agenda
for DSM-V, Diagnostic Issues in Dementia comprises nine
chapters with research suggestions for consideration for
the upcoming DSM-V process, reflecting the nascent effort
toward a new diagnostic nomenclature in the still rapidly
evolving field of dementia.
Here, 18 experts provide critical pieces of the
dementia diagnostic story:
- The all-important neuropathological criteria of
Alzheimer's disease and the aging brain;
current epidemiologic literature and the challenges of
making even minor changes in the
general definition of dementia; and a scholarly review
of the diagnostic nomenclature across
the existing criteria, with numerous critiques and
suggestion for future research
- The growing evidence for mild cognitive impairment
as an identifiable entity suitable for
inclusion in DSM-V; the current neuropsychological
profiling that serves as the centerpiece of
the diagnostic criteria for dementia and suggests that
new instruments evaluating even broader
aspects of cognition, including executive function, will
be important in helping to identify
dementia at an earlier stage of development
- The various behavioral syndromes associated with
dementia, with emphasis on the need
for great diagnostic clarity to help focus appropriate
therapy in this area of increased burden for
patients and family caregivers
- Biomarkers in dementia that may already be
appropriate for inclusion in our diagnostic
criteria; the current diagnostic utility of specific
imaging modalities, which, combined with
expanding ligand technology or markers of genetic
predisposition, might further enhance
diagnostic accuracy
- A review of the tremendous explosion of information
in this field, asserting that, with the
exception of the rare Mendelian disorders, genetic
profiles are not yet ready to make substantial
contributions to nosology
Despite all of these exciting findings, the editors
state that we are still dealing with primarily clinical
syndromes and therefore are still using clinical
diagnostic criteria established at consensus conferences.
In the spirit of scientific humility, they assert that
these experts' views must be considered within the vast
and expanding literature related to the dementias. Given
the associated but still generally nonspecific biological
mechanisms underlying these syndromes, new scientific
developments might occur at any time and immediately
affect the interpretations and considerations presented
here.

Inviting the help of colleagues worldwide, the concise
Diagnostic Issues in Substance Use Disorders is part of
the new series Advancing the Research Agenda for DSM-V.
Its 19 chapters by an international group of experts are
designed to stimulate questions that will help guide
research related to the development of the next editions
of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders (DSM-V) and the International Classification of
Diseases (ICD-11), with the goal of ensuring that the
major substance use diagnoses represent the same condition
in both references.
They cover 10 major issues in three main sections:
1. Overarching issues relevant for the development of
international diagnostic systems - statistical modeling
techniques and whether DSM-V should use categorical and/or
dimensional diagnostic approaches; methods review,
emphasizing new hybrid techniques for developing and
testing diagnostic concepts; the need for separate
clinical and research-oriented diagnostic criteria,
incorporating both categorical and dimensional attributes;
neurobiological changes characterizing substance
dependence; the importance of cultural attributes in
developing definitions of substance use disorders; and the
history of the development of diagnostic systems and how
to optimize the "crosswalk" between DSM and ICD.
2. Research questions more specific to the substance
use disorders section of DSM - comorbidity between
substance use disorders and other psychiatric conditions,
the relatively unique clinical course of substance-induced
mental disorders and appropriate treatment approaches; the
precision of the criteria and threshold for a diagnosis
and how to improve them; the subtypes of substance use
disorder, including how they have been derived and the
extent to which they relate to neurobiological processes;
the seemingly high prevalence of alcohol dependence in
young people; suggested research questions to evaluate the
application of diagnostic criteria to adolescents; and the
specific psychoactive substances cannabis and nicotine.
3. Whether substance use disorders should be included
in a broader section termed “addictive disorders” -
impulse-control disorders (especially pathological
gambling and the advantages and disadvantages of adding it
to the current substance use disorders section),
identifying research opportunities regarding their
assessment and neurocognitive and physiological bases,
discussing the specifics of the research agenda and how it
might be implemented, and presenting questions generated
by the research agenda developmental process. |

Offering a sophisticated introduction to a contemporary
psychodynamic model of the mind and treatment, this book
provides an approach to understanding and treating higher
level personality pathology. It describes a specific form
of treatment called "dynamic psychotherapy for higher
level personality pathology" (DPHP), which was designed
specifically to treat the rigidity that characterizes that
condition. Based on psychodynamic object relations theory,
DPHP is an outgrowth of transference-focused psychotherapy
(TFP) and is part of an integrated approach to
psychodynamic treatment of personality pathology across
the spectrum of severity - from higher level personality
pathology, described in this volume, to severe personality
pathology, described in a companion volume, Psychotherapy
for Borderline Personality: Focusing on Object Relations.
Together, they provide a comprehensive description of an
object relations theory-based approach to treatment of
personality disorders, embedded in an integrated model of
personality.
As a guide to treatment, Handbook of Dynamic
Psychotherapy for Higher Level Personality Pathology
provides a clear, specific, and comprehensive description
of how to practice DPHP from beginning to end, presented
in jargon-free exposition using extensive clinical
illustrations.
The authors offer a comprehensive description of
psychodynamic consultation that includes sharing the
diagnostic impression, establishing treatment goals,
discussing treatment options, obtaining informed consent,
and establishing treatment frame.
Among the book's benefits:
- Takes a diagnosis-driven approach, presenting a
clear model of both the psychopathology and its
treatment;
- Explains underlying theory and basic elements of
DPHP for those first learning dynamic therapy;
- Offers an integrated, innovative synthesis of
contemporary psychodynamic approaches to personality
pathology and psychodynamic psychotherapy;
- Describes goals, strategies, tactics, and techniques
of the treatment to demonstrate its flexibility over a
relatively long course of treatment;
- Provides sophisticated discussion of integrating
dynamic psychotherapy with medication management and
other forms of treatment.
DPHP offers a broad range of patients the opportunity
to modify maladaptive personality functioning in ways that
can permanently enhance their quality of life. Handbook of
Dynamic Psychotherapy for Higher Level Personality
Pathology provides experienced clinicians with a hands-on
approach to that method, and is also useful as a primary
textbook in courses focusing on the technique of dynamic
psychotherapy or in courses on psychodynamics.

Recognizing that favorable clinical outcomes are
associated with earlier initiation of treatment - and even
more ideally with prevention - this volume addresses the
current status of early intervention in, and prevention
of, major mental and substance use disorders. A team of
distinguished participants addresses this problem at many
levels - from the DNA molecule to public policy - in order
to show how prevention efforts should be informed by a
better understanding of etiology and by a knowledge of
indicators of vulnerability.
In considering the current standing of etiological
knowledge, Recognition and Prevention of Major Mental and
Substance Use Disorders addresses issues that are critical
precursors to the prevention of mental disorders and
offers an understanding of factors that contribute to the
disorders' development. The contributors review genetic
methodologies and current findings in mental disorders,
with an emphasis on schizophrenia, and then show how
biological and psychosocial environmental variables may
affect vulnerability. Chapters devoted specifically to
lessons in prevention drawn from recent research into
schizophrenia discuss the implications of prodromal
studies and relationships between stress, critical
periods, and the development of the disorder. The book
includes contributions from NIH representatives on how
basic scientific understanding of mental disorders can be
translated into public policy. It also features chapters
that describe cutting-edge projects in prevention research
for Alzheimer's disease, drug dependence, antisocial
behavior, and posttraumatic stress disorder - each
providing compelling
accounts of how existing knowledge can be adapted to
promising prevention efforts.
Among the volume's contributions:
- New data on the role of substance abuse -
particularly marijuana and psychostimulants - in
increasing vulnerability to schizophrenia
- Review of vulnerability factors for several relevant
disorders, examining stress and its
concomitant psychobiological responses and the
contribution of cognitive factors to
vulnerability to depression
- Intriguing approach for translating successful
treatment methods for schizophrenia into
efforts to prevent the transition from the prodrome of
the disorder to the full-blown illness
- Program for prevention of antisocial behavior that
can be implemented as early as the first
grade
- Secondary prevention efforts for posttraumatic
stress disorder, with a focus on
pharmacological interventions
Contents:

First published in 1989 and already a staple of
psychiatric practice through three editions, Gabbard's
Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders has been thoroughly
revised to reflect modern clinical expertise in a more
accessible volume. More than 160 authorities share
insights gained from firsthand experience in a
state-of-the-art text that covers all major treatments in
psychiatry linked to specific disorders, with a
pluralistic approach that includes all major treatment
modalities without focusing exclusively on favorite
approaches. Not only has each chapter been completely
updated, the text has been reorganized to facilitate its
publication in a single volume that cuts directly to the
heart of disorder-based treatments.
Scrupulously reviewed to consolidate treatment
information most needed by readers, the book is organized
along the lines of DSM-IV-TR to cover the entire spectrum
of conditions: disorders of childhood; cognitive
disorders; substance-related disorders; psychotic
disorders; mood disorders; anxiety, dissociative, and
adjustment disorders; somatoform and factitious disorders;
eating disorders; personality disorders; sleep disorders;
and disorders of impulse control. Empirically validated
treatments for each disorder are summarized; where
empirical data are lacking, the contributors' clinical
wisdom is brought to bear to advise the reader how to
approach a particular condition. This fourth edition
features a number of significant enhancements.
- Coverage of dementia has been expanded to reflect
the disorder's increasing incidence, especially in
Alzheimer's disease and cerebrovascular illness.
- Material on substance abuse disorders is organized
so that problems with individual drugs and certain
common treatment modalities are given separate chapters,
with sections within each chapter written by separate
authors who are experts on that particular topic.
- Coverage of schizophrenia reflects research of the
past decade demonstrating the importance of the
cognitive characteristics and sequelae of the illness
and outlining the domains and molecular targets of
intervention.
- The section on eating disorders has been streamlined
to four chapters covering intensive treatments,
psychopharmacological treatment, evidence-based and
innovative psychological treatments, and family and
marital therapy.
- The chapters on personality disorders reflect
important recent advances: longitudinal research showing
that such disorders undergo substantial improvements;
the growing recognition that personality disorders have
significant genetic determination; and the manualization
of psychoanalytic psychotherapy to permit testing and
replication.

Psychopharmacology has changed the face of modern
psychiatry. Yet it is rare to find in the literature such
a deeply informative yet eminently practical manual on
this complex subject. Here, three senior psychopharmacologists offer a unique
clinical perspective and practical advice on applying
psychotropic medications to the treatment of specific
psychiatric conditions
Clearly written in a collegial, narrative style for
easy reading and comprehension, the sixth edition of this
bestselling manual offers extensively updated chapters
with new sections and
summary tables for quick reference, including the latest
information on antidepressants,
antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, antianxiety agents,
hypnotics, and stimulants.
This comprehensive clinical guide emphasizes:
- Practical advice - i.e., specific recommendations
about dosing, titration, and combining medications -
derived from the authors' extensive clinical experience
- General principles of psychopharmacological
treatment, including advice on legal, ethical, and
economic issues
- Past, current, and future treatments for all major
classes of medications, including
mechanisms of action and pharmacokinetics
- Augmentation strategies for treatment resistant
disorders, emergency room treatment,
pharmacotherapy for substance use disorders
- Special topics such as pregnancy and mental
retardation, with a fascinating final chapter
on herbals and dietary supplements
With its liberal use of tables and illustrations, and
dual appendices on medication strengths and
costs and suggested readings, this up-to-date, practical
manual will be warmly welcomed by
not only practitioners, but also students (including those
in nursing and pharmacy) and
psychopharmacology residents. |

A Compendium of
Case Vignettes for the Practicing Clinician
This user-friendly resource offers complete and
comprehensive coverage of the difficult challenges posed
by drug-drug interactions. Over 170 case vignettes
illustrate a variety of interactions (DDIs) to provide an
unintimidating - even entertaining - approach to
understanding these issues. Drug-Drug Interaction Primer
builds on the author's earlier work, Drug Interactions
Casebook: The Cytochrome P450 System and Beyond, and
features updated references throughout and 29 new cases
that provide such clinical examples as: a patient
diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder transitions from
haloperidol to aripiprazole with disastrous results; an
AIDS patient's trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole is replaced
with warfarin following atrial fibrillation, resulting in
ischemic stroke; and a delusional patient on risperidone
is placed on phenytoin following seizures, and delusions
return. Previous cases have been
revised to enhance clarity.
An introduction to core concepts, which includes brief
reviews of each enzyme system, brings the reader up to
speed on how to think about DDIs and begin to grapple with
what might seem like an imposing subject. The vignettes
that follow each include a case presentation and an
explanation of the mechanism by which the interaction(s)
occurred, and each derives from sound clinical evidence -
not merely extrapolations from drug characteristics - to
offer a more realistic understanding of DDIs. Most of the
interactions described involve the cytochrome P450 enzyme
system; others involve alterations in phase II metabolism
and P-glycoprotein functioning, as well as plasma protein
displacement effects.
The appendices detail most drug-drug interactions
between psychotropic agents and contain metabolic pathways
and inhibitory and inductive profiles for antidepressants,
antipsychotics, and mood stabilizing
agents - as well as tables that detail all known and
clinically significant DDIs between pairings of any two
agents from these drug classes. An extensive index allows
quick reference.
Among the book's other features:
- Reorganization by medical subspecialty - psychiatry,
internal medicine, neurology, surgery/anesthesia, and
gynecology, oncology, and dermatology - better
facilitates clinical application.
- Comprehensive tables detail substrates, inhibitors,
and inducers for P450, phase II, and P-glycoprotein.
- DDIs involving select nonpsychotropic agents such as
tobacco, ethinylestradiol, and statins.
- Exploration of the paradigm

Clinical Manual of Eating Disorders provides sound
therapeutic advice based on current research and clinical
practice. It includes detailed discussions of various
aspects of assessment and treatment, featuring up-to-date
evidence- and consensus-based information. Ranging from
the determination of initial treatment approaches to
problems posed by unique groups of patients, it marks the
first APPI volume specifically directed toward the
clinical management of patients with eating disorders -
and the first book to focus squarely on what psychiatrists
need to know about the clinical assessment and management
of patients with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge
eating disorders, and obesity.
In these pages, preeminent psychiatric authorities on
eating disorders offer practical advice, research results,
and the fruits of clinical experience. In addition to
thorough extended discussion and coverage of all
assessment and treatment topics encompassed by the third
edition of the American Psychiatric Association's
"Practice Guideline for the Treatment of Patients with

Mental Health of Children

Around the world, a vast number of children and
adolescents suffer from mental and neurological disorders
and only a small proportion of them receive adequate care.
This is so in both developing and developed countries. The
need to raise awareness about this problem and provide
specific advice regarding their prevention and treatment
was identified as a priority for the World Psychiatric
Association by Professor Ahmed Okasha during his
Presidency of the Association and resulted in the creation
of his Presidential Programme on Child Mental Health. This
book presents some of the fruits of this programme and
constitutes a global call to action for mental health
workers and policy makers.
The Mental Health of Children and Adolescents: An area of
global neglect brings together information on the burden
of mental disorders in childhood and adolescence with
methods of raising public awareness of these problems. The
book also describes therapeutic and preventive
interventions that could diminish them. It then presents
the results of field studies in Brazil, Egypt and Russia
documenting the effectiveness of interventions to prevent
school dropout in those three very different countries.
With its emphasis on practical guidance for the
development of interventions to prevent or treat child and
adolescent mental health, The Mental Health of Children
and Adolescents: An area of global neglect provides
much-needed information of direct interest to health
professionals and the many others involved in the
provision of health care to children and adolescents in
both the developing and the developed countries.

Key Debates in
Psychiatric/Mental Health Nursing

This book is unique, because no other
psychiatric/mental health nursing text has ever brought
together 'opposing' or contrasting views of the same
issue, and subsequently invited two seperate chapters to
be written in order to articulate the different
perspectives in the debate. Further, no book has then
followed up such a wide and thorough discussion by
inviting a third party to offer commentary. The purpose of
this book is to present a range of key issues that
psychiatric/mental health nurses face. They are practice,
policy, resaerch and education related issues.
The purpose
then is to present the most complete, balanced arguments
possible in order to inform, educate, and stimulate
psychiatric/mental health nurses. Furthermore the purpose
of the book is to make psychiatric/mental health nurses
more aware of the, often, uncertain nature of much of
psychiatric/mental health nursing practice and knowledge.
Psychiatric/mental health nursing is not characterised by
'black and white', easily delineated issues, and is
perhaps characterised by various 'shades of grey'. Indeed,
it is often stated as axiomatic that psychiatric/mental
health nurses can be described as a 'broad church'.
Consequently, the purpose of this book is to help
psychiatric/mental health nurses appreciate this broad
church, be able to understand the various 'shades of
grey', be able to understand that, often, there are
differing views, inconclusive arguments and contentious
debates and for this to influence their clinical practice.
As the international range of contributors illustrates,
these debates (to a greater or lesser extent) are issues
and debates that psychiatric/mental health nurses face the
world over; these are matters of real international
importance and significance. These issues have been
touched upon, and to a limited extent, debated at
psychiatric/mental health nursing conferences and, to an
even lesser extent, within some psychiatric/mental health
nursing journals. Thus, they are real issues that many
nurses are facing, talking about and trying to resolve.
Features:
- key debates are presented with arguments from
opposing viewpoints, followed by a third-party
commentary, to give readers the necessary information to
form their own view
- written by a range of international authors from
different countries across three continents
- one of the first psychiatric/mental health nursing
books to explore the pedagogical value of debate

Psychiatric Rehabilitation refers to community
treatment of people with mental disorders. Community
treatment has recently become far more widespread due to
deinstitutionalization at government facilities. This book
is an update of the first edition’s discussion of types of
mental disorders, including etiology, symptoms, course,
and outcome, types of community treatment programs, case
management strategies, and vocational and educational
rehabilitation. Providing a comprehensive overview of
this rapidly growing field, this book is suitable both as
a textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses, a
training tool for mental health workers, and a reference
for academic researchers studying mental health. |

Handbook of Exposure Therapies

Exposure Therapy refers to any clinical
intervention in which a client directly confronts a source
of fear. Since high levels of anxiety can not be
maintained indefinitely, repeated exposure leads to
decreased anxiety. This type of treatment is effective
with phobias, post traumatic stress disorder, obsessive
compulsive disorders, panic, generalized anxiety, and
several other disorders. It’s also been found to be
effective in helping to treat substance abuse. Although
exposure-based treatments have been extensively researched
and reported in the literature, there is no single
comprehensive treatment of exposure therapies. Writings
tend to be limited to larger pieces on treating specific
disorders or types of patients. A comprehensive book on
the use of these treatments across patient disorders will
be of great use to practitioners. The book is divided into
three sections: Foundation, Applications, and Issues. |

Principles of Psychopharmacology for Mental Health
Professionals addresses the current "split" model of
mental health care, in which physicians provide pharmaco-therapy
while non-prescribing practitioners oversee other services
such as psychotherapy. Bringing these two areas together,
this book familiarizes mental health professionals with
the medications used to treat psychiatric disorders.
Prepared by world-renowned psychopharmacologists and
psychiatrists, this useful resource helps non-prescribing
practitioners understand when and why a given medication
is appropriate to use, when it is not indicated, and what
potential side effects may occur. Also discussed are the
appropriate times in therapy when a referral for a
medication evaluation is indicated as well as how to
broach this issue with the patient. Recognizing that there
are almost always a number of medications from which to
choose, the authors combine research outcomes with their
extensive clinical experience to highlight the important
considerations in selecting one medication over another.
As an educational tool, the text encourages and supports
clinicians who wish to increase patients' understanding of
treatment.
After an introduction and overview, chapters cover:
- Basics of psychopharmacology
- Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
- Mood disorders
- Sleep disorders
- Schizophrenia
- Cognitive disorders
- Anxiety disorders
- Personality disorders
- Substance use disorders
- Traumatic brain injury
- Eating disorders
- Side effects
Every chapter includes diagnostic considerations,
history of medication treatments, and emerging trends
for each disease.
Principles of Psychopharmacology for Mental Health
Professionals lays out what psychotherapists and other
mental health practitioners need to know about
psychotropic medications, giving them and their patients
an invaluable guide to the full array of treatments

Clinical Child Psychiatry, Second Edition serves
as a focused text of the major problems, challenges and
practices commonly encountered in clinical child
psychiatry.
The introductory section covers assessment of the patient,
treatment planning and a review of CBT and play therapy.
Each chapter in section two reviews a clinical disorder in
detail, giving diagnostic criteria and clinical management
advice and is enhanced by case studies. The final section
covers special topics such as foster care, adoption, loss
and grief, sleep disorders, forensics and socioeconomics.
Clinical Child Psychiatry, Second Edition provides

Severe Dementia

The later stages of dementia are as important, if not
more so, as the earlier stages, since they harbour unique
characteristics and events, which profoundly affect the
lives of patients and their carers. Severe dementia has
not had a high profile in the clinical literature as until
recently prognosis was poor and there were few beneficial
interventions. With the recent licensing of memantine,
clinicians finally have a drug option that will delay
disease progression.
Severe Dementia is the first book to focus exclusively on
severe dementia. It addresses both the clinical features
of the disease and the social aspects of care.
Introductory chapters on the differential diagnosis,
neurochemistry and molecular pathology of severe dementia
set the scene for the clinical discussion. Detailed
clinical chapters on cognitive function, depression,
physical effects, staging and function follow. All
therapeutic interventions are then discussed, including
memantine, anticholinesterases, neuroleptics and
non-pharmacological treatment. The final chapters review
the social and economic aspects of dementia care,
including family involvement, person-centered care,
palliative care, ethics and health economics.
Written and edited by experts in geriatric psychiatry and
geriatrics, Severe Dementia is of value to all clinicians
involved in the management of this complex and vulnerable
group of patients. It is also of interest to general
practitioners and carers in nursing homes.

Autism Spectrum Disorders,
Psychological Theory and Research

Psychological research into autism spectrum disorders (ASD)
has increased exponentially in the last two decades. Much
of this work has been led by various theorists who claim
to have identified processes that hold the key to
understanding the condition. As a consequence, newcomers
to the field feel that they have to opt for one or more of
the competing approaches and to neglect the remainder as
being in some way wrong. In fact, the different
theoretical perspectives are just that - different points
of view on the same phenomenon - each with its own
insights to offer. This is not to say that understanding
ASD in psychological terms is just a matter of choosing a
perspective and that all perspectives are of equal value.
Clearly they are not.
This book, in addition to providing an outline of what
current perspectives have to offer, also provides a
framework to help readers to decide which aspects of
psychological research into ASD contribute to our
understanding of the field and how these can be integrated
in a way that enables research to be taken forward.
