      « L’adolescence est l’âge où chaque individu doit pouvoir se «soucier de lui-même» ou en d’autres termes, développer à son propre égard une connaissance de soi et de ses limites à l’intérieur desquelles la capacité à «prendre soin de soi» est un facteur fondamental de santé, physique et mentale, actuelle et future. Cela ne se fait ni en un jour ni par la grâce d’une génération spontanée. L’objectif le plus ambitieux de cet ouvrage, qui fête ses 35 ans et accueille de nouveaux collaborateurs, est d’apporter à chaque professionnel au contact d’adolescents en difficulté les connaissances et les repères lui permettant de répondre au mieux à cette priorité. » Daniel Marcelli, Alain Braconnier À l’occasion de cette 9e édition, la structure a été entièrement remaniée avec l’ajout de nombreux nouveaux chapitres. L’ouvrage se présente désormais sous 4 grandes parties : les bases théoriques et généralités, les grands regroupements syndromiques (approche nosographique et psychopathologie des conduites), l’adolescent dans son environnement et enfin la thérapeutique. Cette nouvelle édition tient compte de la sortie du DSM-5.

      Now in its 2nd edition, An Introduction to Western Medical Acupuncture provides a broad evidence-based approach to acupuncture when used as part of modern medicine. Illustrated throughout it gives the practitioner an essential guide for deciding where and how to treat conditions with acupuncture, and how to avoid known risks associated with it. Ultimately it provides the practitioner with a tool to develop safe and effective practice. For this edition the text has been revised, updated and extensively re-written. A new chapter brings together the understanding of how pain is recognised by the nervous system, and how acupuncture can influence these pathways. This is followed by six chapters providing detailed explanations of the effects and mechanisms of acupuncture, organised according to three recognised treatment approaches – needling to produce local changes, to generate effects at the level of the spinal segment, and to modify the overall function of the nervous system. 　The chapters on the evidence from research have been also updated.
