Vital for all nursing specialties, this is the seminal guide to actively providing appropriate, culturally sensitive care to persons of all sexual orientations and gender identities.
LGBTQ Health Research: Theory, Methods, Practice
by Ron Stall PHD, MPH, et al.The first book focused entirely on the growing field of LGBTQ health research, this volume provides the necessary public health tools to teach about and study LGBTQ populations effectively.Over the last 30 years, the health needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer Americans have become increasingly recognized, in particular for the ways in which they are distinct from those typically assessed and addressed in society. Universities and researchers are paying greater attention to LGBTQ public health issues and how they might adapt existing methods to research marginalized communities, but—until now—there has been no authoritative resource to guide their education or practice. Developed for graduate students in public health and health sciences—but perfect for anyone interested in this topic—this book will fill that gap and provide the necessary public health tools to teach about and study LGBTQ populations effectively. Divided into three sections and edited by top scholars, LGBTQ Health Research explains research methods important to descriptive epidemiology that are needed to document health disparities among LGBTQ populations. The book also examines research methods that help explain the driving forces of these disparities. Focusing on real-world experience in developing and testing interventions to mitigate health disparities in LGBTQ populations, it also breaks down issues that challenge the direct application of standard research methods with these communities, including those related to sampling, measurement, choice of theoretical variables to explain the distribution of health and illness, cultural competence in intervention design, and community participation.Promoting the creation and diffusion of effective interventions, the book takes a holistic approach to address longstanding research gaps regarding important marginalized communities. It also documents profound health disparities in many LBGTQ populations across a wide range of health conditions and explains why future development of the field must be based on inclusive science and rigorous research methods. LGBTQ Health Research is an essential textbook for any courses that deal with the intersection of marginalization, health, sexuality, and gender.Contributors: José A.

LGBTQ+ People with Chronic Illness: Chroniqueers in Southern Europe
by Mara PieriDrawing on theory and empirical research, this book provides an analysis of the intersections between LGBTQ+ identification and chronic illness. Chapters focus on the theoretical meaning of chronic illness as a queer notion, as well as the lived experiences of chronically ill LGBTQ+ people. The author analyzes chronic illness as an experience that interrogates the normative notions of time, (in)visibility, and disability. Interweaving notions of heteronormativity and able-bodiedness as interwoven and mutually dependent, this book argues that the experience of chronic illness through the LGBTQ+ embodiment presents the potential to imagine bodies differently.This book will be useful for scholars and students in Disability Studies, Queer Studies, and Gender Studies.

LSD, Marihuana, Yoga, and Hypnosis
by Theodore X. BarberThe practice of yoga, hypnosis, and the use of psychedelic drugs to alter psychological and physiological states is not unknown to the study of psychology. They have been called "soft" studies and labeled unimportant. This is mostly because they are difficult to study and understand, often focusing on unobservable internal states such as altered states of consciousness, Samadhi, or hypnotic states. This book, in its approach to thinking about this topic and method for analysis, focuses only on phenomena that can be observed, such as behavioral changes.By centering on only those aspects of the psychological and physiological effects of yoga, hypnosis, and psychedelic drugs which can be measured and analyzed using this new method, Barber distinguishes this book from others in the field. He asks what overt behaviors and verbal reports are clearly observable when psychedelic drugs are taken, yoga is practiced, or hypnotic-induction procedures are administered. Instead of treating the phenomena traditionally associated with psychedelic drugs, yoga, or hypnosis as undifferentiated conglomerates, an attempt will be made to set apart and treat separately each of the many phenomena associated with each of these areas of inquiry.This book does not set out to simply demonstrate the importance of psychedelics, yoga, and hypnosis, or to present substantive material pertaining to these topics. It also treats each topic as continuous with other known psychological phenomena and as an important piece to the puzzle of social psychology. It differs from most previous treatises in that it does not assume that psychedelics, yoga, and hypnosis can bring out unused mental or physical capacities in man, heighten awareness or give rise to enhanced creativity, or produce altered states of consciousness, suspension of conventional reality-orientation, changes in body-image, or changes in perception.
LSD, Spirituality, and the Creative Process: Based on the Groundbreaking Research of Oscar Janiger, M.D.
by Rick Strassman Marlene Dobkin de Rios Oscar JanigerAn exploration of how LSD influences imagination and the creative process. • Based on the results of one of the longest clinical studies of LSD that took place between 1954 and 1962, before LSD was illegal. • Includes personal reports, artwork, and poetry from the original sessions as testimony of the impact of LSD on the creative process. In 1954 a Los Angeles psychiatrist began experimenting with a then new chemical discovery known as LSD-25. Over an eight-year period Dr. Oscar Janiger gave LSD-25 to more than 950 men and women, ranging in age from 18 to 81 and coming from all walks of life. The data collected by the author during those trials and from follow-up studies done 40 years later is now available here for the first time, along with the authors' examination of LSD's ramifications on creativity, imagination, and spirituality. In this book Marlene Dobkin de Rios, a medical anthropologist who studied the use of hallucinogens in tribal and third world societies, considers the spiritual implications of these findings in comparison with indigenous groups that employ psychoactive substances in their religious ceremonies. The book also examines the nature of the creative process as influenced by psychedelics and provides artwork and poetry from the original experiment sessions, allowing the reader to personally witness LSD's impact on creativity. The studies recounted in LSD, Spirituality, and the Creative Process depict an important moment in the history of consciousness and reveal the psychic unity of humanity.
LSD: The Groundbreaking Psychedelic Research into Realms of the Human Unconscious
by Stanislav GrofA pioneering book that explores the unknown landscape of human consciousness induced by LSD and other psychedelics • Shows the relationship between shamanism, near death experiences, and other mystical and altered states with those induced by psychedelics • Lays the conceptual foundation for the creation of important new therapies in psychiatry and psychology Stanislav Grof’s first 17 years of research into nonordinary states of consciousness induced by LSD and other psychedelics led to a revolutionary understanding of the human psyche. His research was the impetus behind a vastly expanded cartography of the unconscious, including two new realms still unacknowledged by official academic circles--the perinatal domain, which holds memories of the various stages of birth, and the transpersonal domain, which mediates experiential identification with other species and mythic figures, visits to archetypal realms, access to past life memories, and union with the cosmic creative principle. The research presented in this book provides a map of the psyche that is essential for understanding such phenomena as shamanism and near death experiences as well as other nonordinary states of consciousness. This map has led to the development of important new therapies in psychiatry and psychology for treating mental conditions often seen as disease and therefore suppressed by medication. It also provides a new threshold to understanding and entering the numinous realm of spirit.

La Balbuzie: La natura e un approccio pratico al trattamento
by A. N. OkonobohÈ possibile porre fine alla balbuzie entro 10 giorni? Qual è il sogno della tua vita? Se sei balbuziente, non vuoi che io o gli altri abbiano un'aria di comprensione quando parli. Questo libro, La Balbuzie, farà al tuo caso. Sappiamo che il metodo di smettere di balbettare è una qualcosa che pone molti quesiti tra la comunità dei balbuzienti in tutto il mondo. In effetti, ci rendiamo conto che, ai balbuzienti viene detto di non focalizzarsi più della guarigione, perchè tale sforzo è più gravoso dello stesso impedimento del linguaggio. La nostra breve introduzione contiene storie che ti aiuteranno ad alleviare le tue paure. Ti forniremo una panoramica sulle funzionalità che rendono il nostro metodo veloce ed efficace per il recupero della balbuzie. In primo luogo, questo libro si basa su uno studio durato anni sulle persone guarite dalla balbuzie. Pertanto, non si tratta di teorie di laboratorio. Ecco perché funziona veramente. La chiave centrale è la COSCIENZA che troverai nei vari capitoli. Intorno a ciò, costruiamo altri elementi che sono degni di riconoscimento per il loro ruolo positio o negativo nel discorso. Ad esempio il controllo del respiro, la respirazione dal torace o dai polmoni, l'arte della parola, affrontare gli ostacoli comuni, come usare gli schemi linguistici, ecc. Nella sezione Arte della Parola, ci occupiamo di tutti i problemi della patologia del linguaggio, SLP , terapia cognitivo-comportamentale, sollievo dall'ansia, auto-cura della balbuzie, nonché il quesito fondamentale, ovverro chi mi aiuterà a trovare la mia voce. La stessa sezione continua con l'efficacia dell'insegnamento del parlare, la terapia per i bambini, anche per i casi gravi, come per coloro che pensano che la loro situazione vada al di là della balbuzie.Abbiamo anche segnalato su come i genitori e i tutori abbiano un ruolo fondamentale nel prestare le cure necessarie, e su come il loro ruolo di osservatori sia fondamentale nella prima parte dell'infanzia. I nost

La Clínica: A Doctor's Journey Across Borders (Literature and Medicine Series)
by David P. SklarIn 1972, when the world around him was making little sense, David Sklar left in his senior year of college to volunteer at a community clinic in rural Mexico. With absolutely no medical experience beyond being accepted to medical school at Stanford, Sklar literally learned medicine by practicing it. With duties that ranged from suturing wounds and delivering babies to digging latrines to pulling teeth, his time at the clinic took him into the heart of a medical world that the sterilized walls of the twentieth century would never have shown him. The experience challenged his idealism and, ultimately, molded him into a skilled emergency physician.Years later, deeply immersed in the stress of running the ER at the University of New Mexico Hospital and facing a divorce, Sklar decided to revisit the Mexican village and clinic that provided inspiration and grounding in the early stages of his career. Weaving together his time in Mexico, his later career, and his marriage, Sklar's memoir offers a thought-provoking meditation on the virtues of idealism in the face of the inevitable failures that haunt all human endeavors.

La corrupción de la carne
by Ambrose ParryUna trepidante novela criminal que nos sumerge en los experimentos médicos del siglo XIX en Edimburgo. En el invierno de 1847, la muerte campa a sus anchas por las lóbregas calles de Edimburgo, una abigarrada ciudad de médicos, ricos y criminales. Mientras varias jóvenes han sido asesinadas de la forma más salvaje en el casco antiguo, Will Raven está a punto de comenzar su formación con el brillante y reconocido doctor Simpson, a cuya consulta acuden por igual gentes acaudaladas y pobres de esta ciudad fracturada socialmente. En la residencia, dónde se llevan a cabo experimentos con éter y se ensayan nuevas formas de anestesia, Raven conoce a Sarah Fisher, la criada y asistente del eminente doctor, y su carácter e inteligencia desafía y a la vez seduce al joven. Ante la oleada de asesinatos que asola la ciudad y la indiferencia de la policía, Sarah no dudará en unirse a Will y emprender junto a él una investigación que los llevará desde los barrios más siniestros de Edimburgo hasta el núcleo más tenebroso de los problemas científicos de la época. La crítica ha dicho...«Un mundo de sufrimiento. [...] Un Edimburgo victoriano que nos devuelve nítidamente a la vida.»Val McDermid «Un marco histórico fascinante. [...] Un relato de secretos y bisturís, con un pulso narrativo y un gran sentido del humor. [...] Un gran regalo.»The Times «Una trepidante novela criminal que nos sumerge tanto en los experimentos médicos del siglo XIX en Edimburgo como en un período de colorida vida de la ciudad. [...] Un auténtico placer.»Ian Rankin, The Guardian «Personajes y sucesos muy sorprendentes en una novela tan absorbente que no querría que se me acabase nunca.»Denise Mina «Una novedad estimulante. [...] Un marco gótico y un argumento sinuoso basado en aterradores hechos reales.»Nicci French, The Observer «Un debut sorprendente. El oscuro y peligroso pasado cobra vida de forma apasionante. No puedo esperar para leer más sobre Raven y Sarah.»Mark Billingham «Un relato sombrío y elegante, basado en hechos contrastados y en una investigación experta. Un debut enormemente placentero.»Louise Welsh «Excepcional.»Irvine Welsh
La crianza imperfecta: Por qué no puedes llegar a todo, y está bien así
by Paola RoigDespués de Madre, llega un nuevo libro para acompañar en la maternidad y la crianza de la mano de Paola Roig. El libro que necesitamos leer para liberarnos de la culpa y sentirnos acompañadas en el proceso de ser madres. Las madres millenials vivimos en la era de la información. Sabemos qué zapatos son mejores para nuestras criaturas, a qué edad es mejor introducir el gluten en su dieta y también cómo deberíamos acompañarlos en una rabieta.Nos pasamos la crianza intentando cambiar patrones, y hacer las cosas distintas, intentando ser madres de libro. ¿Pero quién habla de todo lo que nos pasa a nosotras mientras intentamos alcanzar todo eso? Cuando me propusieron escribir un segundo libro, decidí que quería que fuese sobre la crianza. No obstante, ya hay tantos libros sobre el tema que es fácil perderse en dar indicaciones y consejos y en vender que todas las soluciones van a poder encontrarse en unas pocas líneas. Yo no quiero participar de eso. Yo quiero hablar de la crianza desde la psicología, claro, pero también desde la vivencia. La de las madres a las que acompaño y la mía propia. Quiero hablar de lo que nos sucede, de todo lo que nos cuesta tanto nombrar, de lo que mueven nuestras criaturas en nosotras y de cómo podemos hacer más sencillo el camino de acompañarlas y de acompañarnos. Esto es lo que encontrarás aquí. Voy a ir recorriendo los aspectos más importantes de la crianza, esos que más nos preocupan y sobre los cuales más leemos. Voy a darte un poco de teoría para entenderlos y ponerlos en contexto, y luego te plantearé preguntas para que tú puedas escoger tu propio camino, confiando en tus recursos y todo aquello que ya tienes dentro de ti. No, este no es otro manual sobre como ser una madre perfecta. Es un libro para encontrar y confiar en la madre suficientemente buena que ya eres.

La cura
by Glenn CooperUn virus muy contagioso destruye la memoria y lleva la sociedad al borde del colapso. Después de años de investigación, el doctor Steadman está a punto de saborear el éxito y ser aclamado como el creador de la cura del Alzheimer. Poco importa si para llegar hasta ahí ha corrido un enorme riesgo que puede acabar con la humanidad. Su negligencia ha provocado una mutación de la cura en un virus extraordinariamente contagioso que arrasa la memoria de las víctimas y las lleva a un terrible estado de indefensión absoluta. Una catástrofe global. En pocos días, millones de personas en todo el mundo pierden la memoria a causa de un virus desconocido y muy contagioso. Sin recuerdos, hombres y mujeres se comportan como animales, empujados por el hambre y el miedo. Las ciudades están al borde del colapso, sin suministro eléctrico, ni agua corriente, ni alimentos. Solo unos pocos parecen inmunes al contagio y se refugian en sus casas, a la espera de un milagro. Jamie Abbott, un neurocijano que ha participado en la investigación, se embarca en un largo viaje junto a su hija, una de las primeras contagiadas, para colaborar en una cura eficaz que pueda detener la pandemia. El mundo se ha vuelto un lugar inhóspito y muy peligroso, la única esperanza del doctor Abbot es que todavía quede alguien ahí fuera que recuerde qué es lo que nos hace humanos. Porque cuando todas las certezas se desvanecen y la memoria se evapora, es necesario unir las fuerzas y actuar antes de que la civilización se convierta en una tabula rasa. Reseñas:«Cooper no es un escritor de thrillers cualquiera, sino uno que da respuesta a los grandes temas.»Sunday Telegraph «Dinámico y original, Cooper se entrega.»Sun «Estilo excepcional, tensión y un argumento que engancha.»Eurocrime «Con mucho ritmo e inspiracional... no te decepcionará.»Fresh Fiction «Incandescente y explosivo.»James Rollins «Un grandísisimo escritor.»Gianluigi Nuzzi
