      Ces dernières années la pratique des psychothérapies à médiation corporelle connaît un grand développement mais n'est pas exempte de critiques, trop souvent assimilée à de exercices pratiques aux effets à court terme et dépourvu du travail d'élaboration psychique nécessaire à toute démarche thérapeutique. Cet ouvrage se veut à la fois très pratique, tout en évitant le piège des énumérations de recettes, et s'attache à mettre en lien le ressenti et l'expression psychocorporelle, avec des remémorations, des instants de vie, des échanges qui pourront prendre sens dans l'histoire d'une vie. A partir d'une demande seront détaillés comment peut être élaboré un projet thérapeutique, les choix possibles, la mise en oeuvre de techniques spécifiques d'un point de vue pratique ainsi que les enchaînements psychothérapiques, sans oublier la dimension du transfert. Les descriptions des techniques sont étayées par de nombreux cas cliniques et des représentations graphiques du ressenti des patients au cours du travail psychocorporel. Enfin, à partir du vécu inscrit dans le corps, des émergences d'affects, d'émotions, de sensations..., il montre comment un travail de mise en lien et d'élaboration peut être effectué et permettre au sujet d'explorer, d'exprimer puis d'intégrer des parties de lui-même qui étaient restées clivées. Cet ouvrage s'adresse à tous les praticiens intéressés par la psychosomatique, la souffrance et souhaitant proposer des démarches thérapeutiques psychocorporelles dans un abord global de la personne. Ce guide servira de ressource pour leur pratique quotidienne tant au niveau du choix des exercices que des références conceptuelles.

      Le terme périnatal réunit les derniers mois de la grossesse, la naissance et les premières semaines de la vie, période au cours de laquelle l'hypoxie-ischémie représente une menace pour le cerveau en voie de développement. Dans les formes sévères, l'encéphalopathie néonatale est évidente et les conséquences très défavorables ; dans les formes modérées et mineures du spectrum, beaucoup plus fréquentes, les séquelles éventuelles devront être cherchées systématiquement afin d'offrir à ces enfants les ressources de l'intervention précoce. Ce livre est composé de cinq parties. Les deux premières proposent une méthode clinique pour un examen de dépistage, fondée sur des bases anatomiques et physiologiques. Les pathologies, si particulières à cette période, sont décrites dans la troisième partie : pathologie hypoxique-ischémique... pathologie hémorragique mais aussi celles de nature génétique, infectieuse, toxique... Les séquelles cérébrales et la prise en charge font l'objet des deux dernières parties, avec la description du spectrum d'anomalies neuromotrices à deux ans, de la paralysie cérébrale handicapante jusqu'aux formes les plus mineures. La prise en charge est centrée sur la famille, avec pour préoccupation constante d'améliorer le devenir à l'âge scolaire et jusqu'à l'âge adulte.

      Biomarkers — which may be enzymes, hormones, biologic substances, or other markers of cardiac stress and malfunction — appear to have growing clinical importance in heart failure. Many biomarkers appear to provide important information about the cause of heart failure or the identification of those at risk for heart failure or appear to be useful in risk stratification, in the diagnosis of heart failure, or in monitoring therapy. This issue discusses the current and potential future role of biomarkers and includes articles that explore individual biomarkers in depth.

      Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has evolved into a first-line imaging tool for several cardiac pathologies over the past decade. It is continuing to evolve as new applications are found and old ones are refined. This issue has a dual focus. One aspect of focus is on the areas in which CMI is the best modality, such as assessment of cardiac morphology and cardiac function, evaluation of pericardial disease and intracardiac masses, and detection of coronary artery disease. The other focus is on areas in which the role of CMI is expanding, such as in the assessment of left and right ventricular diastolic function.

      Se trata de un libro muy práctico que proporciona los conceptos clave necesarios para comprender la bioestadística y, lo que es más importante, su aplicación en el contexto clínico. Sus explicaciones se centran más en los conceptos que en las fórmulas y proporciona las herramientas necesarias para que el clínico pueda aplicarlos en su contexto real. Didácticamente, la obra presenta cuadros de texto y preguntas con autoevaluación al final de cada capítulo. Su objetivo no es convertir al lector en un profesional de la bioestadística sino facilitar las herramientas necesarias para interpretar correctamente la literatura científica con lo cual se pueda llevar a cabo la medicina basada en la evidencia.

      This book provides an introduction to psychology for allied health students and it encourages an understanding of the complex and interactive nature of the factors which influence an individual’s health behaviours and health outcomes. Through the use of real life examples, contemporary research and case studies students will be able to apply the material in the text to the health behaviours of the people they care for, their colleagues and themselves. Unlike many health psychology textbooks this new book examines individual personality and psychological theory within the social context of people’s lives. This approach is taken because of the increasing awareness that a person’s behaviour is not only influenced by internal biological and psychological factors, but also by external factors within the person’s social and physical environment. The first half of the book outlines psychological and other relevant theory whilst in the second half those theories are applied to health issues and healthcare practice. Chapters 1—5 presents psychological, lifespan and social theory; chapter 6 addresses the role and contribution of research to healthcare practice; and chapters 7—13 covers the psychological aspects of specific health encounters, issues and interventions. "The material covered [in the various chapters] is undoubtedly relevant, up to date, and has some nice features". Reviewed by: British Journal of Occupational Therapy Date: Nov 2014
