Equipping the interdisciplinary workforce to treat Substance Use Disorders and Behavioral Health: Reducing The Stigma
by Angela L. ColistraThe U.S. faces a critical crisis in behavioral health and addiction care. Overburdened emergency rooms and primary care offices struggle with lengthy wait times, while workforce shortages and systemic barriers disproportionately impact marginalized communities. This has resulted in the criminal justice system becoming a de facto provider of mental health and addiction services. In 2024, Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy declared a national epidemic of loneliness and isolation, exacerbated by the COVID-19 and opioid crises. His advisory underscores the importance of social connection, empathy, and belonging as vital components of well-being. Despite the urgent need, stigma surrounding mental health and substance use disorders persists, hindering access to care. Historically, training programs have underemphasized addiction and behavioral health education across medical and behavioral health disciplines. This book serves as a vital resource for interdisciplinary teams, highlighting the crucial role each profession plays in improving access to addiction and mental health care and reducing stigma. It advocates for a collaborative, relationship-centered approach, equipping clinicians and peers with the knowledge and skills to effectively address addiction and behavioral health within communities. Expertly written and reviewed, it offers up-to-date scientific and clinical information spanning a broad range of relevant topics.
Equitable Access to Human Biological Resources in Developing Countries
by Roger Scarlin ChennellsThe main question explored by the book is: How can cross-border access to human genetic resources, such as blood or DNA samples, be governed in such a way as to achieve equity for vulnerable populations in developing countries? The book situates the field of genomic and genetic research within global health and research frameworks, describing the concerns that have been raised about the potential unfairness in exchanges during recent decades. Access to and sharing in the benefits of human biological resources are aspects not regulated by any international legal framework such as the Convention on Biological Diversity, which applies only to the exchange of plants, animals and microorganisms, as well as to associated traditional knowledge. Examples of genetic research perceived as exploitative are provided in order to illustrate the legal vacuum concerning the global governance of human genetic resources. The main conclusions drawn from the legal and ethical analysis are: * Benefit sharing is crucial in order to avoid the exploitation of developing countries in human genetic research. * With functioning research ethics committees, undue inducement is less of a concern in genetic research than in other areas of medical research (e. g. clinical trials). * Concerns remain over research involving indigenous populations; accordingly, recommendations are provided. In drawing these conclusions, the book addresses in detail a highly pressing topic in global bioethics and international law. In this regard, it combines bioethical arguments with jurisprudence, in particular with reference to the law of equity and the legal concepts of duress (coercion), unconscionable dealing, and undue inducement.

Equitation Science: Equitation Science In Practice
by Paul McGreevy Andrew McLeanWritten by two internationally recognised experts, Equitation Science is the first book to draw together the principles of this emerging field into a much-needed coherent source of information. The goal of equitation science is to enhance our understanding of how horses think and learn, and to use their natural behaviour to train, ride or compete with them in as fair a manner as possible. The welfare consequences of training and competing horses under different protocols are explored. Drawing on traditional and emergent techniques, this book incorporates learning theory into an ethical equine training system suitable for all levels. It also focuses on evidence-based approaches that improve rider safety. "Equitation Science is one of those rare books that is going to change the way we train and manage horses forever. It brings together a fundamental understanding of the way horses think and behave and presents a system of modern training that has the welfare of the horse at its core – it must be the foundation work for the next generation of professional and amateur riders and trainers. Riders will ride better, trainers will train better and we will have happier, healthier horses."—Wayne Channon, International Grand Prix Rider "I found this a very interesting and enlightening book. Equitation Science will help anyone involved with horses to understand them more and to be more effective in their training and education. The knowledge this brings to anyone involved with horses should help to make the horses’ lives easier and therefore allow the partnership between humans and equines to flourish."—Yogi Breisner, British Eventing Performance Manager "Equitation Science is an ambitious and thorough look at an enormous range of areas, approaches and factors concerning the training of horses. The authors have an underlying theme to their text of scientifically assessing and then also promoting the use of ethical and humane methods of horse training to increase all sport horses’ welfare and happiness within their sporting requirements. Equitation Science also provides an invaluable insight as to how and why what we do with our horses actually works."—Paul Tapner, Professional International Advanced Eventing Rider, Badminton CCI**** 2010 Winner
Equity in Health and Health Promotion in Urban Areas: Multidisciplinary Interventions at International and National Level (Green Energy and Technology)
by Alessandra Battisti Maurizio Marceca Silvia Iorio Giuseppe RicottaThe book explores approaches, methods and best practices related to health promotion in urban areas. Thanks to the increasingly tight connection among urbanism, architecture, bioethics, anthropology, sociology and medicine, we are now reaching an “ecological” health perspective. This new viewpoint has pushed the study of social health determinants and their unequal distribution in the population, resulting in the study of the generation of structurally-determined differences in health and healthcare. There is the need to make use of a unitary framework in order to understand the intertwining of multidimensional dynamics that define the urban context and the need to disseminate, enhance, and improve existing interventions in the field. This volume consequently results in the discussion and comparison of contents and methods to be implemented in multidisciplinary interventions related to the promotion of community-based healthcare and health in the urban setting. The book represents a useful opportunity for scientific growth and international sharing of methodologies that can help develop a common language and approach to be shared across different academic spheres. This is not only an exchange of knowledge among different fields of study, but also the creation of foundations for creating an increasingly complex network of scientific culture and operational collaborations to transfer knowledge and attract academic and public attention, influencing decision-makers and gaining advocacy accordingly.

Equus Lost?
by Francesco De GiorgioIn the 1980s, the world of riding, training, and competing with horses took a major turn with the spread of natural horsemanship, which at its most basic foundation rejects the use of abusive techniques and relies on methods derived from understanding the dynamics of free-roaming horse herds. Since then, equestrians across disciplines have incorporated elements of natural horsemanship into their work. But despite what was certainly an advancement in human-equine interaction that has improved the lives of many horses, Italian animal behaviorists Francesco de Giorgio and José Giorgio-Schoorl dare to now ask,What if much of what we think we know about horses is, in fact, wrong? What if the premise of herd hierarchy is a myth? What if conditioning the horse's behavior in the ways we've grown accustomed is undercutting his potential for development? What if there is another—better—level of partnership to which we can aspire?Their provocative book takes us into a dimension where we shed our assumptions of leadership, dominance, and control, convincingly showing a way forward that acknowledges that a horse, when allowed, is driven by his own inner motivation to explore and understand the world around him, including his relationship with humans.
