This unique introduction to the essentials of global health has been constructed by medical students from all over the world through the help of Medsin (now Students for Global Health) and the International Federation of Medical Students’ Association (IFMSA). The global student and trainee author team, recruited and guided initially by Drs Dan and Felicity Knights (themselves students and officers of Medsin when work commenced), identified the key areas to be covered. Then the book they put together was edited by two experts in the field: Mr B Sethia and Professor Parveen Kumar. Royalties raised from this book go to a grant fund for student global health projects.

Davidson’s Assessment in Medicine is a collection of 1250 best-of-five multiple choice questions, arranged to correspond with the chapters of the Twenty-third Edition of Davidson's Principles and Practice. The questions follow the style used in many international undergraduate and early postgraduate exams. For each question the answers are accompanied by a short piece of remediation/ feedback with references back to the main textbook for further information. This book is an excellent broad assessment text and forms a highly useful complement to the main textbook. It will help students increase the efficiency with which they acquire the factual knowledge necessary for both passing examinations and good medical practice. Although written to accompany Davidson's Principles and Practice of Medicine, this book can be used alongside any clinical medicine textbook.

Face au développement de la médecine et de la santé intégratives, les auteurs apportent un éclairage sur les apports cliniques et théoriques de ces pratiques, de plus en plus enseignées dans les formations médicales et paramédicales et utilisées par les professionnels de santé dans tous les domaines. Ce guide, ponctué de nombreux cas cliniques, se présente comme un outil pratique à destination des praticiens et des étudiants (infirmiers, aides-soignants, médecins et psychologues). Composé de quatre parties, il décrit un grand nombre d’approches psychocorporelles utiles dans une relation de soins : - la 1re partie s’attache à définir les pratiques psychocorporelles, leur place dans le développement de la médecine et de la santé intégratives, ainsi que leur apport considérable dans la communication et la relation soignant–soigné. Elle en rappelle le contexte législatif français pour mieux comprendre qui peut les pratiquer. - la 2e partie présente, en 26 fiches techniques, les pratiques psychocorporelles les plus employées (hypnose, sophrologie, biofeedback, optimisation du potentiel, etc.) : définition de la pratique, utilisation (séance-type), indications, en particulier dans le cadre de la douleur et chez l’enfant, contre-indications et formation. - la 3e partie indique comment développer ces pratiques psychocorporelles, avec un focus sur leurs outils transversaux et des exemples cliniques dans le domaine du soin et de la prévention. - la 4e partie déroule, au moyen de situations cliniques et d’expériences de formations, diverses mises en application de ces pratiques dans de multiples contextes.
