Problem Behavior Theory and Adolescent Health
by Richard JessorThis second volume of Richard Jessor's influential works applies his groundbreaking theory to illuminating the psychosocial determinants of adolescent health.

Topics featured in this book include: Alcohol use and problem drinking in adolescent health and development. Psychosocial research on marijuana use. Understanding early initiation of sexual intercourse in adolescence. Smoking behavior in adolescence and young adulthood. Developmental change in risky driving.

Problem-Focused Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (Contemporary Endocrinology)
by Zev Rosenwaks Pak H. ChungIn the vast majority of books discussing reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI), the contents are organized and classified by organs and systems. In contrast, this book is problem-based: chapters are sensibly arranged according to the chief complaints from patients presenting at the office. Readers will be guided to formulate the differential diagnoses, select the appropriate evaluation scheme to arrive at the correct diagnosis, and finally decide on the recommended treatment for the particular condition. The range of both male and female REI conditions are presented here, providing the clinician with the tools to sort through the numerous and often similar complaints from patients to reach the best treatment strategy. Discussed here are issues of puberty, menstrual conditions, uterine anomalies, fibroids, endometriosis, male and female infertility, pregnancy loss, menopause and many others. Current diagnostic and treatment guidelines and algorithms for all conditions are included, further streamlining the management process. Written by experts from the Ronald O. Perelman and Claudia Cohen Center of Reproductive Medicine at Weill Medical College of Cornell University, a world-renowned group of reproductive physicians, Problem-Focused Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility is an indispensable resource for office-based management of REI conditions.
Problem-based Behavioral Science and Psychiatry
by Daniel Alicata Negar Jacobs Anthony Guerrero Melissa PiaseckiIn keeping with the growing emphasis on psychiatry in the medical school curriculum, problem-based learning (PBL) offers students a unique patient-centred, multidisciplinary approach to study and the synthesis of knowledge. The new 2nd edition of Problem-Based Behavioral Science and Psychiatry integrates DSM-5 updates and diagnostic criteria, and is fully consistent with PBL models and methods. Building on the strengths of the popular and widely downloaded 1st edition, the 2nd edition is a clinically robust resource for both the medical and the behavioral science student. Over 40 contributors, many themselves graduates of PBL medical schools, apply problem-based learning methods to specific psychiatric disorders, general clinical issues, and bedrock physician skills such as the intake interview and treatment planning. The book's fictional case vignettes illustrated typical patient scenarios, providing real-world context for content areas, and accompanying case diagrams show the relationships between patient behaviour and underlying neurobiological structures. Each student-friendly section ends with helpful review questions. A sampling of the content areas covered: · Childhood development and brain development. · Major psychiatric illnesses, including personality, mood, anxiety, and psychotic disorders. · Stress, substance abuse, and violence. · Eating, sleep, and sexual disorders. · Coping skills and treatment compliance. · End-of-life care. · PLUS chapters on cultural sensitivity, ethical concerns, and the physician/patient relationship. This book is ideal for first and second year medical students wanting to learn about psychiatry in the exciting context of realistic cases. It also makes an excellent prep/review text for third- and fourth-year medical students preparing for the USMLE Step 1 and 2 exams, as well as being suited to graduate students in psychology or clinical social work. Problem-Based Behavioral Science and Psychiatry encourages lifelong learning and helps build the foundation for a lifelong career.

Problems of Mind: Descartes to Wittgenstein (Routledge Revivals)
by Norman MalcolmFirst published in 1972, Problems of Mind begins with a consideration of the view that the human mind is an immaterial thing that does not require corporeal embodiment for its operations. It takes up the conception that "inner experiences" are "strictly identical" with brain processes. The book also deals exclusively with the doctrine called "Logical Behaviourism", which will always possess a compelling attraction for anyone who is perplexed by the psychological concepts, who has become aware of the worthlessness of an appeal to introspection as an account of how we learn those concepts, and who has no inclination to identify mind with brain. The three most plausible theories of mind-body dualism, mind-brain monism, and behaviourism are all rejected, and nothing is set forth as the true theory. Norman Malcolm states that this is 'only a drop in the bucket. It will serve its purpose if it leads the reader into the writings of Wittgenstein, who is easily the most important figure in the philosophy of mind.’ Problems of Mind will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of philosophy of mind, ethics, logic, and philosophy in general.

Process Metaphysics and Mutative Life: Sketches of Lived Time (Palgrave Perspectives on Process Philosophy)
by Wahida KhandkerThis book provides a survey of key process-philosophical approaches that, in conversation with selected concepts across the biological and physical sciences, help us to think about living processes, or ‘lived time,’ at different scales of functioning. The first part is written from an opening perspective on the question of the differing scales of analysis provided by Alfred North Whitehead. In particular, his interest in questions arising from the quantum mechanical reconciliation with classical mechanics informs the first two chapters that address problematic categorizations of life as variously ‘despotic,’ ‘invasive,’ or as primitive (in the radically more-than-human case of micro-organisms), whose potential recategorization relies on our willingness to acknowledge changes in value depending on the scale at which we view them. The second part of the book concerns methodologies, in the light of works by Henri Bergson, whose intertwining concerns with epistemology and ontology in his theories of mind and life serve as a model for a process philosophy of biology. The chapters focus on techniques used across philosophy and the sciences to visualize processes that are otherwise unavailable to us due to the limitations of our perceptual faculties, no matter how sophisticated the tools for analysis, from microscopes to telescopes, have become. This book concludes with a consideration of the relations between parts and wholes in process, panpsychist, and ecological terms. It revisits the question of ecological balance and the place of human activities in relation to it, with reference to works of Charles Hartshorne and William James.

Professional Counseling: A Process Guide to Helping
by Harold Hackney Janine BernardThis package includes the bound book and MyCounselingLab® with Pearson eText. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, Hackney and Bernard’s The Professional Counselor offers a solid grounding in counseling skills and an understanding of how these skills are used within different therapy orientations, including affective, cognitive, behavioral, and systemic domains. It presents students with a four-stage model of counseling which shows them how to assess client problems, develop counseling goals, define strategies and select interventions, and terminate and evaluate the counseling relationship. The new co-author of this edition, Janine M. Bernard, brings her expertise in clinical supervision to help deconstruct the counseling process for learners, resulting in effective editing of all chapters in this edition. Also included is a discussion of the application of counseling interventions to Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivation Interviewing, so that students can appreciate that skills are not distinct from therapy approaches they will use in their clinical courses. Included are new case examples drawing from different specialties within counseling, and more than 40 new web-based video samples illustrating the content of the book.

Professional Issues in Therapeutic Recreation: On Competencies and Outcomes
by Norma J. Stumbo Brent D. Wolfe Shane PeggThe latest edition of Professional Issues in Therapeutic Recreation On Competence and Outcomes recognizes that the profession must continue to challenge the status quo and one another. Issues and ideas are not stagnant; they are forever changing, and the various sections and chapters of this edition will challenge the reader to conceptualize ideas from new perspectives and in a new light. Readers are encouraged to wrestle with the ideas presented. Do not simply read them and file the information away. Interact with the ideas. Discuss the ideas. Argue about the ideas. Whatever you do, do not simply disregard an idea because it represents a viewpoint or perspective that is different from your personal philosophy related to the profession. We challenge all readers to be drawn into the variety of topics, concepts, and perspectives presented in this volume so each can continue to personally grow and enable the profession to continue to grow. Like the first two editions, this effort has four major sections: Introduction, Education, Practice, and Research. It is clear that these divisions are largely arbitrary, as every practice issue affects every research issue, every education issue affects every practice issue, and on and on. However, books require an organizational layout, and these divisions appear to make sense. Each section begins with a Keynote chapter aimed at setting the stage for that particular section. Each section also ends with a Perspective chapter, largely an opinion or viewpoint piece to encourage readers to continue discussion on related issues.

Professionalism in Mental Healthcare
by Dinesh Bhugra Amit MalikIn mental health, as in other medical disciplines, the role of the professional is changing. The availability of information, enhanced roles of other healthcare professionals and changes in training have altered the doctor-patient relationship and left professionals accountable to the needs of clients, politicians, policy makers and funding agencies. This book seeks to redefine the professional role of the specialist mental health worker by bringing perspectives from leading experts from both developed and developing countries, and also from a wide range of professionals in the field of law, medical ethics, education and medical leadership. Uniquely, it also looks at the views of patients and next-generation psychiatrists. It will be of interest to those involved in providing mental healthcare as well as those responsible for health policy initiatives and training.
