Psychiatry in Medical Practice

David Goldberg , Linda Gask
e altri

editore: Routledge

pagine: 400

This fully updated third edition of Psychiatry in Medical Practice takes into account major changes in medical education since 1994. New sections provide information on problem-based learning and observed structured clinical examinations. Divided into four sections, this book covers: clinical approaches to the patient syndromes of disorder disorders related to stages of the life cycle services, ethics and the law. As well as retaining the key features of the previous editions, this book includes two brand new chapters on risk assessment and the Mental Health Service. A handy portable reference card is also included; this has been updated to incorporate a scale for assessing cerebral impairment in the elderly, and a new assessment of suicidal risk scale. This highly practical book is an essential guide for all medical students and doctors in training who are involved with psychiatry. It is also a useful reference tool for those who are more experienced in the field.

Ethnopsychopharmacology

Advances in Current Practice

Bruce Singh , Chee H. Ng
e altri

editore: Cambridge

pagine: 200

No one reacts or responds to a drug in exactly the same way, just as no two persons are exactly alike. Individual and ethnic differences in drug response have been consistently found in clinical practice. This book covers all the important factors that explain how and why drug treatments used in psychiatry affect individuals and ethnic groups differently. It will increase understanding of how biological differences interact with social, cultural and environmental factors to bring about overall effects of medications, particularly in individuals from various ethnicities. This book uniquely brings these varied aspects together to consider a holistic approach to drug therapy across diverse biological make-up and cultures. This information has direct practical use in the clinical setting.

Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis OPD-2

Manual for Diagnosis and Treatment Planning

OPD Task Force , John F. Clarkin
e altri

editore: Hogrefe & Huber

pagine: 504

"OPD-2" is a new edition of the multiaxial diagnostic system for psychodynamically oriented therapists and psychiatrists, now with practical tools and procedures for treatment planning and for measuring change.Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis (OPD) is a form of multiaxial diagnostic and classification system based on psychodynamic principles, analogous to those based on other principles such as DSM-IV and ICD-10. The OPD is based on five axes: I - experience of illness and prerequisites for treatment, II - interpersonal relations, III - conflict, IV - structure, and V - mental and psychosomatic disorders (in line with Chapter V (F) of the ICD-10). After an initial interview lasting 1-2 hours, the clinician (or researcher) can evaluate the patient's psychodynamics according to these axes and enter them in the checklists and evaluation forms provided. The new version, OPD-2, has been developed from a purely diagnostic system to include a set of tools and procedures for treatment planning and for measuring change, as well as for determining the appropriate main focuses of treatment and developing appropriate treatment strategies.

Science and Psychiatry

A Ground-breaking Discoveries in Molecular Neuroscience

Solomon H. Snyder

editore: American Psychiatric Publishing

pagine: 477

Solomon Snyder has been instrumental in the establishment of modern psychopharmacology -- as a pioneer in the identification of receptors for neurotransmitters and drugs and in the explanation of the actions of psychotropic agents. Science and Psychiatry is a collection of some of his best scientific papers, publications ranging over forty years that represent important advances in psychopharmacology and molecular biology. Audacious and unanticipated when they first appeared, these papers opened up new areas of understanding and revolutionized the modern study of the brain. Republished here, they show why fundamental research into the "messengers of the mind" is as essential for clinicians as for researchers. Many of these papers have clear clinical relevance, offering insight into modern neuroscience to help make sense of the bewildering array of available psychotropic medications and point the way toward more effective and safer agents. Others describe the underpinnings of psychopharmacology that practitioners need to know, especially regarding the role of receptors in drug action. Each of the nine groups of research articles is accompanied by a commentary by a well-known authority, putting the discoveries in perspective and providing a broad overview of subjects ranging from characterization of the enkephalins to serotonin receptor subtypes. The final set of papers focuses on apoptosis, the general process of cell suicide, where Snyder's work with bilirubin holds promise for treating neurodegenerative disorders. And in a closing piece, "The Audacity Principle in Science," Snyder speculates about factors conducive to creativity and efficacy in scientific discovery. The articles particularly describe four groups of extraordinary discoveries for which Snyder is widely recognized: * Identification of opiate receptors, providing keys to understanding pain perception* Characterization of the IP3 receptor, exploring its role as a target for lithium treatment in manic-depressive disorders* Establishment of nitric oxide as a transmitter in the brain, radically transforming conceptualizations of neurotransmission* Discovery that D-serine is the normal stimulus for the glycine site of the NMDA receptor, providing new insight into the regulation of the receptor important for learning and memory Hailed as one of the preeminent scientists of the past twenty years, Snyder is a consummate researcher who confesses to remaining obsessed with the need to "think thoughts no one else has thought before." Science and Psychiatry clearly shows how that urge accounts for the diversity of challenges he has taken on as it conveys the origins of modern psychopharmacologic practice.

Developmental Psychopathology and Wellness

Genetic and Environmental Influences

James J. Hudziak

editore: American Psychiatric Publishing

pagine: 300

A major benchmark in the understanding of psychiatric illness in children and adolescents, Developmental Psychopathology and Wellness reports on progress in identifying genetic and environmental influences on emotional-behavioral disorders. A team of 22 international authorities presents work that changes the way child psychiatry and clinical psychology are conceptualized, debunking misconceptions about depression, antisocial behavior, and other conditions to enhance our understanding of the causes of child psychopathology -- and improve the ways we treat these disorders. Coverage of basic principles describes the influence of genomic medicine, as explained by trailblazers in the field who demonstrate the importance of the developmental perspective. Chapters on gene-environment interaction review the important concepts of personality and temperament, cognition, and sex -- including findings from molecular genetic investigations on adolescent cognition, temperament, and brain function. Disorder-based examples show how emotional-behavioral illness and wellness attest to the interaction of genetic and environmental factors over time, providing new insight into the study of anxious depression, ADHD, autism, and antisocial personality disorders. And in considering how we can bridge the gap between research and clinical applications, Dr. Hudziak describes his family-based gene-environment approach as a means of better understanding etiopathology and treatment. Among the other significant contributions: * Thomas Achenbach focuses on the importance of culture in understanding the genetic and environmental impact on children, with insights into measuring these sources of influence.* Joan Kaufman reports on her seminal work on the genetic and environmental modifiers of risk and resilience in child abuse, relating maltreatment to other forms of environmental risk, genetic mediation, and reactivity.* D. I. Boomsma describes the genetic architecture of childhood worry, presenting data from an extraordinary sample of 30,000 twin pairs.* Frank Verhulst draws on a 14-year study to detail the advantages of the developmental perspective in understanding antisocial behavior.* Stephen Faraone offers guidelines for moving beyond statistics to document the functional significance of DNA variants associated with psychopathology. As the contributors ably demonstrate, these new approaches to the care and treatment of at-risk children are applicable to daily practice, teaching, and research. Developmental Psychopathology and Wellness shows that these psychopathologies are not a matter of nature versus nurture or genes versus environment, but rather an intertwining web of them all.

Mentalizing in Clinical Practice

Anthony Bateman , Jon G. Allen
e altri

editore: American Psychiatric Publishing

pagine: 403

Mentalizing, the fundamental human capacity to understand behavior in relation to mental states such as thoughts and feelings, is the basis of healthy relationships and self-awareness. A growing evidence base supports the effectiveness of mentalizing-focused interventions in the treatment of borderline personality disorder. This volume explores wider applications, construing mentalizing as a core common factor in the effectiveness of psychotherapeutic interventions that cuts across treatment modalities and theoretical approaches ranging from psychodynamic to interpersonal and cognitive therapies. This book distills the burgeoning literature on mentalizing for clinicians of diverse professional backgrounds. The book is divided into two parts: Understanding Mentalizing fully explicates the concept of mentalizing and its foundations in developmental research and social-cognitive neuroscience; Practicing Mentalizing presents the general principles of psychotherapeutic interventions that promote mentalizing as well as a range of current clinical applications. * Mentalizing is multifaceted -- for example, pertaining to self and others as well as explicit and implicit processes -- and links to myriad overlapping concepts including empathy, metacognition, theory of mind, mindfulness, and psychological mindedness.* Two sides of research on the development of mentalizing in attachment relationships have significant clinical implications: interactions in secure attachment relationships enhance mentalizing and illuminate the conditions of optimal psychotherapeutic relationships; conversely, trauma in attachment relationships undermines the development of mentalizing and eventuates in developmental psychopathology that poses special challenges for psychotherapy.* Neuroimaging is illuminating diverse brain regions that contribute to mentalizing capacity, including a "mentalizing region" in the medial prefrontal cortex that is consistently activated in mentalizing tasks; concomitantly, research on autism and psychopathy attests to the neurobiological basis of psychopathologies in which stable impairments of mentalizing are most conspicuous.* In development and in psychotherapy, mentalizing begets mentalizing, as exemplified by a mentalizing stance that fosters inquisitiveness and curiosity about mental states in oneself and others; basic principles and clinical examples, including the use of transference, demonstrate the spirit and technique of mentalizing, capped off by a patient's first-hand account of mentalization-based treatment for borderline personality disorder.* Attachment trauma is the wellspring of disrupted mentalizing capacity, and a focus on mentalizing provides an integrative framework for psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral treatment of trauma as well as for parenting, family, and social-systems interventions directed toward interrupting the perpetuation of trauma in relationships.* Psychoeducational interventions, including patient education and structured exercises, are employed to cultivate a therapeutic alliance around mentalizing; the book includes a straightforward explanation clinicians can use with patients, "What is Mentalizing and Why Do It?" In the chapter on mentalizing interventions, the authors propose to clinicians, "You are already doing it." If the effectiveness of treatment depends on therapists mentalizing and helping their patients do so more consistently and skillfully, clinicians of all persuasions can benefit from the extensive knowledge now available to hone further their attention to this vital therapeutic process.

Strumento di valutazione per la propensione alla schizofrenia

editore: Giovanni Fioriti Editore

pagine: 102

Lo "Strumento di valutazione per la propensione alla schizofrenia", versione per adulti (SPS-A), valuta un'ampia gamma di lievi disturbi autopercepiti, indicati in origine con il nome di sintomi di base. È stato concepito allo scopo di supportare la diagnosi precoce del primo episodio psicotico, ma, in realtà, rappresenta un valido contributo anche per indagini cliniche e di ricerca lungo le varie fasi della malattia. Lo SPS-A permette un'indagine approfondita di quei disturbi e deficit subclinici che spesso precedono l'episodio psicotico franco e permangono durante le fasi di remissione. Perciò, il libro è rivolto prevalentemente a psichiatri e psicologi interessati alla clinica e alla ricerca scientifica sulle psicosi, ma può risultare interessante anche per altri professionisti del settore, studenti, pazienti e familiari coinvolti nell'assistenza di persone affette da psicosi. I pazienti stessi, inoltre, possono trovare nello SPS-A un valido aiuto per comprendere meglio la loro esperienza soggettiva, spesso tanto difficile da esprimere.

Atlante di fenomenologia dinamica

editore: Magi Edizioni

pagine: 218

Attraverso le modalità comunicative di un seminario, questo Atlante riporta sinteticamente la definizione di concetti-base e lo scenario scientifico, culturale e pubblicistico della fenomenologia dinamica. Nel determinare le strutture portanti dell'esistenza umana, fa riferimento ai risultati della fenomenologia fiosofica e dell'antropologia fenomenologica. La prima, nel rispondere a Che cos'è la coscienza? ne illustra le caratteristiche fondamentali, mentre la seconda, nel confrontarsi con l'interrogativo Chi è l'uomo? ne delinea l'idea tramite la "teoria della mente". Entrambe ci riconsegnano un'immagine dell'uomo quale essere strutturalmente in conflitto, costantemente bisognoso di una definizione di sé, mosso da quella che è per lui una legge naturale: produrre una rappresentazione della propria identità. Tracciando le caratteristiche fondamentali dell'intersoggettività,le modalità dell'esplorazione della coscienza, i dispositivi di vulnerabilità fondamentali, quali il conflitto, il trauma, i disturbi dell'emotività e le destrutturazioni della coscienza di sé, si delinea qui una mappa delle nozioni imprescindibili per la comprensione dell'uomo. E si svela la vocazione intrinseca della fenomenologia dinamica:far si che i fatti psicopatologici restino in interazione permanente con la realtà vivente e con le strutture e l'organizzazione su cui la vita, nella sua complessità, poggia.

Manuale per l'uso del test di Rorschach in psicolpatologia

Anna M. Rosso

editore: Piccin-Nuova Libraria

pagine: 476

"Questo volume desidera offrire una trattazione aggiornata della valutazione del funzionamento mentale normale e disturbato attraverso il test di Rorschach e si propone come un manuale rivolto a psicologi, psichiatri, medici che operano in ambito clinico e forense, a studenti in psicologia, a specializzandi in psichiatria e in psicoterapia. Il filo rosso che attraversa il libro è la ricerca di integrazione dell'approccio psicoanalitico e dell'approccio empirico ateoretico di Exner. In questa ottica "integrazionista" il contributo degli studi psicoanalitici teorici ed empirici è considerato un indispensabile complemento al Sistema Comprensivo. Sono presi in esame i contributi della clinica psicoanalitica, della ricerca empirica di stampo psicoanalitico e del Sistema Comprensivo di Exner al fine di presentare una proposta di linee-guida tesa alla valutazione e alla comprensione della psicopatologia in un'ottica psicoanalitica, tenendo conto anche della recente classificazione proposta dal PDM (Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual)."
