      The authors, specialists in the UK, draw on developmental theory to propose a model of practice specifically for dementia care. The number of people who suffer from dementia is increasing and in consequence the problems it presents are affecting a growing number of therapists and carers. Many of these problems are peculiar to dementia and the models of care used with other client groups have proved inadequate when dealing with the provision of quality of care to people who have dementia. This revised edition contains a new opening chapter which brings our understanding of dementia up-to-date. The book looks at the relationship between occupation, wellbeing and dementia and examines the critical role of the carer in developing therapeutic interventions.

      Les qualités encyclopédiques et pédagogiques de cet ouvrage lui ont déjà valu un grand succès international lors de sa première édition, choisie depuis comme manuel de référence par de nombreuses écoles d'acupuncture et de médecine chinoise dans le monde. S'appuyant sur les textes chinois, classiques et modernes, l'auteur accorde un soin particulier à l'explication et à l'adaptation des concepts de la médecine chinoise au contexte et aux pratiques cliniques occidentales. L'exposé de la théorie est complété par une riche iconographie, des encadrés, des cas cliniques et des résumés. Cette deuxième édition a été considérablement enrichie. Outre l'approfondissement important de nombreux thèmes, elle propose une révision complète des fonctions et des principes d'association des points d'acupuncture, la présentation de 50 points supplémentaires et une nouvelle section sur la pathologie. Enfin, le glossaire (français-pinyin et pinyin-français) a été largement augmenté. Par sa précision, sa clarté et son ampleur, cet ouvrage constitue une « somme » sans équivalent pour l'étude de la médecine chinoise et de l'acupuncture.

      Naturopathic Physical Medicine provides a philosophical naturopathic perspective, as well as practical clinical applications, for manual and physical approaches to health care. A wide range of bodywork and movement approaches and modalities are evaluated in relation to their ability to be appropriately used in naturopathic treatment and rehabilitation settings. Naturopathic methodology suggests that therapeutic measures should match the ability of the individual to respond positively, without negative side-effects. The model of care emphasised in this text recognizes that naturopathically oriented therapeutic interventions usually focus on achieving one or all of the following:• Enhancement of function so that the person, system or part, can better self-regulate in response to adaptive demands. • Modification or removal of adaptive load factors • Symptomatic relief without creation of significant additional adaptive changes
