Medical Book Description

With Saladin, students engage in the story of anatomy and physiology.

Memorable stories must be effective in multiple ways. The story must paint a strong visual picture. The story must weave in tools to make the reader remember important events and understand their impact. Ken Saladin weaves graceful descriptions of human anatomy and physiology processes together with carefully selected clinical applications and fascinating stories from the history of medicine and evolutionary medicine to create a multi-layered story about the human body. A consistent set of chapter learning tools helps students identify and retain key concepts while the stunning visual program provides a realistic view of body structures and processes. The fifth edition is further improved by a complete integration of the text with extensive digital teaching and learning tools.

Saladin’s text requires no prior knowledge of college chemistry or cell biology, and is designed for a two-semester A&P course.

The older adult population is booming in the United State and across the globe. With this boom comes an increase in the number of older adults who experience psychological disorders. Current estimates suggest that about 20% of older persons are diagnosable with a mental disorder: Personality disorders are among the most poorly understood, challenging, and frustrating of these disorders among older adults. This book is designed to provide scholarly and scientifically-based guidance about the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of personality disorders to health professionals, mental health professionals, and senior service professionals who encounter personality-disordered or “difficult” older adults.

Psychotherapy, like most other areas of health care, is a synthesis of scientific technique and artistic expression. The practice, like any other, is grounded in a series of standardized principles, theories, and techniques. Individual practitioners define themselves within the field by using these basic tools to achieve their therapeutic goals in novel ways, applying these rudimentary skills and guiding principles to each situation in new and exciting ways. Effective work can only be accomplished through a synthesis of the fundamental scientific methods and the creative application of these techniques, approaches, and strategies.
In recognition of these two basic skill sets within the field, and acknowledging that they are often taught exclusively of each other, Dr. Hofmann and his co-editor have compiled a group of leading therapists to give insight into the creative side to psychotherapy. Central to this collection is the premise that a toolbox full of treatment approaches, no matter how comprehensive, is not enough to effectively reach your patients. The aim of this book is first to address the fundamental split between the researchers and scholars who use scientific methods to develop disorder-specific treatment techniques and those more clinically inclined therapists who emphasize the individual, interpersonal aspects of the therapeutic process. Ad secondly, once this polarization of approaches is clearly defined, contributors will systematically unearth and explore the variety of unspecific, subtle factors in psychotherapy that are often overlooked by even those therapists who are conscious of interpersonal theories. 18 chapters are broken up into three main sections, focusing on the client-therapist relationship, models of therapeutic change, and more specific issues that arise during therapy. Chapters will be written with a clear emphasis on the practical relevance to therapy and will include many case examples and excerpts of patient-clinician dialogues.

Product Description:

In 1992, Brunner/Mazel published the first book ever written on the subject of applying hypnosis in the treatment of depressed individuals. Hypnosis and the Treatment of Depressions, by Michael Yapko, not only withstood the test of colleagues previously dismissive of hypnotherapy’s value as a tool of treatment, but thrived in the face of it. The ideas and methods of the book overcome a previously skeptical audience and are now frequently taught at workshops and conferences by professional societies. In 2001, Yapko published a second book on the subject with Brunner-Routledge, Treating Depression with Hypnosis, which was later awarded the prestigious Arthur Shapiro Award from the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis and named “the best book of the year on clinical hypnosis.”

Now, Yapko proposes a book intended to diversify the range of topics to consider and increase the number of knowledgeable contributors on the subject of treating depression with hypnosis. The book will feature chapter contributions by experts on using hypnosis to treat specific forms of depression, with assessment and intervention strategies as well as sample transcripts of the use of hypnosis in therapy sessions. As a practical guidebook for clinicians looking to add to their treatment protocols, Hypnosis and Treating Depression: Advances in Clinical Science will provide an updated and comprehensive volume on therapeutic use of hypnosis in the treatment of depression.
