      People with mental illness are often painfully familiar with overt prejudice or more subtle forms of mistreatment. The stigma and discrimination associated with their disorders can have effects in several areas of life: in social interactions, in work and healthcare settings, in the legal system and the media. Many withdraw due to shame and do not seek help. In turn, stigma can prove to be a more serious problem than the disorder itself. Yet too little is done to reduce stigma and its impact.The Stigma of Mental Illness: Strategies Against Discrimination and Social Exclusion offers up the knowledge necessary to understand and fight against stigma and discrimination. It will be invaluable to all health professionals, social workers, healthcare managers and policy makers with an involvement or interest in mental illness.

      Les déformations crâniennes positionnelles (DCP) du nourrisson – « tête plate » dans le langage courant – concernent un nombre très conséquent d’enfants. Elles sont source d’inquiétude pour les parents alors qu’elles pourraient être évitées grâce à un diagnostic et une prise en charge précoces. De nombreux dogmes et croyances sur ces DCP sont répandus parmi les professionnels de santé, pouvant mener à des erreurs diagnostiques et des retards de prise en charge.Dans ce contexte, cet ouvrage constitue une base solide de connaissances théoriques et pratiques qui permet une prise en charge efficace et harmonisée des enfants concernés. Son objectif est de réunir des données fiables, récentes et consensuelles sur les DCP du nourrisson.Dans la première partie, les aspects théoriques sont abordés, notamment les causes, les facteurs de risque, l’épidémiologie ou encore les conséquences des DCP. Dans les parties suivantes, des notions pratiques concernant les éléments diagnostiques et cliniques, ainsi que la prise en charge sont détaillées. Près de 150 photos et dessins accompagnent le texte.L’originalité et la force de ce livre résident dans son aspect pluridisciplinaire : 22 professionnels représentant 12 disciplines différentes ont co-écrit cet ouvrage, en s’appuyant à la fois sur leur expérience pratique et sur les récentes données scientifiques internationales sur le sujet. L’enjeu est avant tout une réflexion commune et cohérente entre professionnels, qu’il s’agisse du bilan diagnostique, de la prévention ou de l’orientation thérapeutique.Cet ouvrage s’adresse à tous les professionnels médicaux et paramédicaux travaillant avec des nourrissons ou de jeunes enfants (médecin, pédiatre, sage-femme, infirmière et auxiliaire puéricultrice, kinésithérapeute, ostéopathe, psychomotricien, chiropracteur, etc.), mais aussi aux parents s’intéressant à ce sujet.
