  • Finnie's Handling the Young Child with Cerebral Palsy at Home

    • 4th Edition
    • Eva Bower
    • English
    The 4th edition of Finnie’s Handling the Young Child with Cerebral Palsy at Home has been updated to reflect the current practices of today. It aims to help parents assist their child with cerebral palsy (CP) towards achieving the most comfortable independence in all activities. It is hoped to show how, by using typical parenting skills, which involve guiding and exposing a child to develop through challenging experiences, the child with CP will also develop. The book is also intended to help professionals and other carers new to this field understand, support and encourage young children with CP and their families.Over the years since the first edition of this book was written ideas on appropriate therapies have changed and developed. Similarly opinion on early intervention has changed and the method of delivery of service has in some places moved from centralisation to home-based or community provision. The emphasis of this new edition however remains on a holistic approach to the child's needs seeing the difficulties in relation to the overall development of the child as a unique person from childhood to adulthood.

    An Occupational Approach for Therapists and Carers
    • 2nd Edition
    • Tessa Perrin + 2 more
    • English
    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.

  • Naturopathic Physical Medicine

    Theory and Practice for Manual Therapists and Naturopaths
    • 1st Edition
    • Leon Chaitow
    • English
    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

Il propose une approche par pathologies classées par systèmes, selon un plan précis : les généralités, les critères de choix et la stratégie thérapeutique, l'optimisation thérapeutique, « ce qu'il faut retenir » et des études de cas cliniques pour l'application des connaissances. • Les généralités regroupent la physiopathologie et les médicaments utilisés dans la pathologie. • Les critères de choix et la stratégie thérapeutique sont développés en fonction de la sévérité de la pathologie, du terrain et des éventuels traitements associés. • L'optimisation thérapeutique concerne les posologies, l'administration (voie d'administration, conseils, incompatibilités) et la prévention de l'iatropathologie (prévention des risques majeurs et des effets indésirables). • L'encadré « Ce qu'il faut retenir » expose l'essentiel du chapitre et en permet une révision générale. • Enfin, un ou plusieurs cas cliniques accompagnés de questions générales ou à choix multiples sont traités. Les réponses sont accompagnées de commentaires, reprenant les points importants du chapitre. Avec ses nombreux tableaux, ses études de cas cliniques conformes aux dossiers biologiques et thérapeutiques des épreuves de l'internat de pharmacie, cet ouvrage constitue l'outil de travail indispensable pour les étudiants de pharmacie. Il est un guide thérapeutique pour les pharmaciens hospitaliers et d'officine, qui trouvent là un ouvrage essentiel pour les accompagner dans leur exercice quotidien.
