Ferner spielt auch die Rehabilitation und Wiedereingliederung ins Berufsleben eine immer größere Rolle, nachdem auch viele jüngere Patienten davon betroffen sind. Der gut gegliederte Text, viele Cave- , Merke- und Leitlinien-Kästen zeigen auf einen Blick das richtige Vorgehen, zahlreiche Falbeispiele sorgen für maximalen Praxisbezug. Darüber hinaus erhält der Leser wichtige Informationen u.a. zur Telemedizin, zu geriatrischen und rehabilitativen Aspekten der Schlaganfallmedizin, ebenso zu häufigen Komplikationen nach einem Schlaganfall..

  • Interventions et thérapies brèves : 12 stratégies concrètes

    Crises et opportunités
    • 3rd Edition

    • Yves Doutrelugne
    • French
    Si les thérapies brèves sont une méthode alternative aux approches traditionnelles et permettent une solution rapide pour un certain nombre de troubles psychologiques, elles bouleversent toutefois la relation d’aide dans le domaine psychologique, médical et psychiatrique mais aussi social.C’est pourquoi il est nécessaire d’apporter au thérapeute un éclairage clinique approfondi lui permettant de mieux maîtriser toutes les dimensions de ces thérapies. Par leur approche très pragmatique de ces différentes situations, les auteurs répondent ainsi aux questions que se posent les thérapeutes sur des thèmes aussi variés que les troubles anxieux, la dépression, l’alcoolisme, l’utilisation de la thérapie brève sous contrainte dans un service fermé ou avec des patients psychotiques. Pour cette nouvelle édition, entièrement mise à jour et augmentée, deux nouveaux chapitres viennent enrichir l’ouvrage :– le premier s’attache à l’apport des thérapies brèves systémiques dans l’accompagnement des troubles du spectre autistique ;– le second se concentre sur la contribution des thérapies brèves plurielles dans l’accompagnement et les soins en fin de vie.Quant au chapitre auparavant dévolu à l’alcoolisme, il s’élargit et est désormais consacré à l’addictologie dans son aspect plus général.Cet ouvrage s’adresse ainsi aux psychiatres, psychologues, psychothérapeutes, équipes soignantes et travailleurs sociaux.
