      Clinical reasoning is the complex thinking and decision-making used to come to a diagnosis and management plan. It’s a core competency of clinical practice – but because it involves many elements and unconscious processes, it’s both difficult to learn and teach.Clinical Reasoning in the Health Professions, Fifth Edition provides the concepts and frameworks healthcare professionals need to be able to reason effectively, make sound and defensible clinical decisions, and learn from experience as they develop from student to practitioner.Edited by leading experts in the field from Australia and the US, this fifth edition presents the latest understandings and evidence around clinical reasoning in clinical practice, and how can it be taught and assessed. It’s ideal for both undergraduate and post-graduate health students as well as academic and clinical health educators.

It helps clinicians effectively address the mechanical-based changes in movement across a person’s lifespan, whether in the context of rehabilitation, recreation, or promotion of health and wellness. Full-color anatomic and kinesiologic illustrations clearly demonstrate the anatomy, functional movement, and biomechanical principles underlying movement and posture. An eBook version, included with print purchase, provides access to all the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. The eBook included with print purchase also features multiple excellent videos of anatomic and kinesiologic principles, answers to study questions from the print book, and additional tables and figures.

      Il existe de nombreux troubles de la communication chez les enfants et les adultes. La rééducation en groupe permet des interactions entre participants et avec les animateurs. Les patients s’y sentent souvent plus à l’aise, moins isolés dans leurs difficultés, pouvant partager leurs erreurs avec celles des autres.Elle permet d’établir une relation entre le langage oral et une co-construction de la pensée et des savoirs, en confrontant ses connaissances à celles des autres, ouvrant ainsi la voie aux apprentissages et à la mémorisation.Elle favorise la maîtrise du discours (décrire, raconter, justifier ses choix) et la construction des savoirs.Elle reproduit les situations d’un groupe social (scolaire, amical, professionnel), intégrant les codes de la communication dans un cadre bienveillant (écoute et respect de la parole de l’autre).Elle peut se conjuguer avec toutes les pathologies liées au langage, quel que soit l’âge des participants : enfants, adolescents, adultes dysphasiques à la suite de pathologies endogènes (TSA, retard de langage, etc.) ou exogènes (AVC, accidents moteurs, dégénérescence cognitive).Cette prise en charge peut s’exercer en cabinet d’orthophonie, à l’école dans les groupes de paroles conseillés par l’Éducation nationale, ou dans les centres spécialisés de rééducation du langage. Après avoir abordé les avantages de la communication en groupe, les fiches proposent un cadre rigoureux au niveau de l’organisation et du contenu selon un même déroulé : Objectifs, Préparation, Déroulement. Le matériel d’images proposé pour chaque fiche est une base de travail qui peut être modifiée en fonction de l’âge, des possibilités des participants et de la créativité des animateurs.
