Psychopathologie de l'intersubjectivité

1st Edition

French

L'intersubjectivité constitue un objet central de la psychopathologie clinique, du bébé à l'adulte. Elle est aujourd'hui l'un des principaux domaines de confrontation des modèles du psychisme. Redécouverte depuis peu par les neurosciences, les sciences cognitives et la psychologie du développement, l'intersubjectivité reste aussi au coeur de la théorie et de la pratique psychanalytique et psychothérapique. Par ailleurs, la psychiatrie contemporaine propose de redéfinir les principaux troubles mentaux (autisme, troubles de la personnalité borderline ou schizophrénie) comme l'expression de troubles de l'intersubjectivité à différents temps du développement, sur la base de ses références neurobiologiques et cognitives. Cet ouvrage présente les modèles actuels de compréhension de l'intersubjectivité, puis développe une approche clinique s'intéressant aux diverses psychopathologies de l'intersubjectivité. La diversité des définitions du concept d'intersubjectivité, ainsi que des approches que l'on retrouve dans les différentes contributions de ce volume, reflète la richesse et la complexité de ce domaine.

Gastric Cancer, An Issue of Gastroenterology Clinics

1st Edition
Volume 42-2

English

Gastric cancer is the second most common cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Although the incidence of gastric cancer has declined over the past century in the United States, it remains one of the most common gastrointestinal neoplasms, particularly in immigrants and the socio-economically deprived. Recent years have seen major advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis of gastric cancer (especially regarding the importance of Helicobacter pylori and its associated inflammatory response) and the emergence of adjuvant oncologic therapies of proven benefit for advanced cases, in addition to surgery. As for gastric adenocarcinoma, elucidation of the underlying biology and molecular pathogenesis has led to much progress in the management of two other malignant gastric neoplasms, gastrointestinal stromal tumors and marginal zone B-cell (“MALT”) lymphomas. This monograph highlights these developments, presenting an updated overview of gastric cancer that will be of interest to all practicing gastroenterologists.

Benign and Neoplastic Conditions of the Esophagus, An Issue of Gastroenterology Clinics

1st Edition
Volume 42-1
March 28, 2013
Nicholas J. Shaheen
English

Esophageal diseases are amongst the most common gastrointestinal illnesses encountered by both the gastroenterologist as well as the primary care physician. Gastroesophageal reflux symptoms affect 20% of adult Americans on a weekly or more frequent basis, and Barrett’s esophagus, a pre-cancerous lesion of the distal esophagus associated with chronic GERD, is prevalent in 2-6% of the adult population. Additionally, there have been remarkable advances in the care of esophageal diseases in the last several years, with the development of new imaging modalities, new physiological tests, and promising data emerging with respect to biomarkers for esophageal neoplasia. A relatively new clinical entity, eosinophilic esophagitis, is being characterized in the literature, and the ubiquity of this condition is now recognized. Given the dynamic nature of this area, the strides being made in esophageal diseases, and the importance of these diseases to clinicians practicing both subspecialty and general medicine, a volume dedicated to esophageal diseases is timely and necessary. The goals of this work are to familiarize clinicians with advances in care of patients with esophageal disorders, and to update them on new trends in epidemiology and outcomes of these diseases.
