  • Psychiatric Interviewing

    The Art of Understanding: A Practical Guide for Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Counselors, Social Workers, Nurses, and Other Mental Health Professionals, with online video modules
    • 3rd Edition
    • Shawn Christopher Shea
    • English
    Print purchase includes enhanced Expert Consult eBook with over 7.5 hours of streaming video; quickly search text, figures, references, and videos on laptops, tablets, and smart phones. With time at a premium, today's clinicians must rapidly engage their patients while gathering an imposingly large amount of critical information. These clinicians appropriately worry that the "person" beneath the diagnoses will be lost in the shuffle of time constraints, data gathering, and the creation of the electronic health record. Psychiatric Interviewing: The Art of Understanding: A Practical Guide for Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Counselors, Social Workers, Nurses, and other Mental Health Professionals, 3rd Edition tackles these problems head-on, providing flexible and practical solutions for gathering critical information while always attending to the concerns and unique needs of the patient. Over five years in the making, this classic introduction to the art of clinical interviewing returns, updated, expanded and innovatively designed for today's reader with over 7.5 hours of streaming video integrated directly into the text itself. Readers now also become viewers, acquiring the rare opportunity to see the author both illustrating specific interviewing techniques and subsequently discussing effective ways in which to employ them. The founder and Director of the acclaimed Cape Cod Symposium, Rob Guerette, describes Dr. Shea's skills as a speaker as follows, "Dr. Shea is an extremely gifted teacher, whose vibrant story-telling skills and compelling videos have led to him garnering some of the highest evaluations in the 30 year history of the Cape Cod Symposium. In short, readers are in for a rare treat when viewing the book's video component." Within the text, Dr. Shea deftly integrates interviewing techniques from a variety of professional disciplines from psychiatry to clinical psychology, social work, and counseling providing a broad scope of theoretical foundation. Written in the same refreshing, informal writing style that made the first two editions best sellers, the text provides a compelling introduction to all of the core interviewing skills from conveying empathy, effectively utilizing open-ended questions, and forging a powerful therapeutic alliance to sensitively structuring the interview while understanding nonverbal communication at a sophisticated level. Updated to the DSM-5, the text also illustrates how to arrive at a differential diagnosis in a humanistic, caring fashion with the patient treated as a person, not just another case. Whether the reader is a psychiatric resident or a graduate student in clinical psychology, social work, counseling or psychiatric nursing, the updated third edition is designed to prepare the trainee to function effectively in the hectic worlds of community mental health centers, inpatient units, emergency rooms, and university counseling centers. To do so, the pages are filled with sample questions and examples of interviewing dialogue that bring to life methods for sensitively exploring difficult topics such as domestic violence, drug abuse, incest, antisocial behavior, and taking a sexual history as well as performing complex processes such as the mental status. The expanded chapter on suicide assessment includes an introduction to the internationally acclaimed interviewing strategy for uncovering suicidal ideation, the Chronological Assessment of Suicide Events (CASE Approach). Dr. Shea, the creator of the CASE Approach, then illustrates its techniques in a compelling video demonstrating its effective use in an interview involving a complex presentation of suicidal planning and intent. A key aspect of this text is its unique appeal to both novice and experienced clinicians. It is designed to grow with the reader as they progress through their graduate training, while providing a reference that the reader will pull off the shelf many times in their subsequent career as a mental health professional. Perhaps the most unique aspect in this regard is the addition of five complete chapters on Advanced and Specialized Interviewing (which comprise Part IV of the book) which appear as bonus chapters in the accompanying e-book without any additional cost to the reader. With over 310 pages, this web-based bonus section provides the reader with essentially two books for the price of one, acquiring not only the expanded core textbook but a set of independent monographs on specialized skill sets that the reader and/or faculty can add to their curriculum as they deem fit.

  • Endoscopy in Inflammatory Bowel Disease, An Issue of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 26-4
    • Maria T. Abreu
    • English
    The field of inflammatory bowel disease has evolved in many ways. The first has been the revolution in medical therapy for the disease. With the advent of biologic therapy, the aspirational goal of therapy has become mucosal healing. These medications have also made it possible to avoid or delay surgery for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Although non-invasive strategies such as MR or CT enterography or stool-based assays are helpful, they have not been able to replace the prognostic information provided by endoscopy. Simultaneously, the quality and spectrum of tools available to perform endoscopy has widened. High resolution endoscopes are now the norm and are nearly as good as chromoendoscopy for identifying dysplasia in ulcerative colitis patients. Most gastroenterologists also perform dilations but do not generally do this for patients with IBD. Finally, newer devices such as enteroscopes, endoscopic ultrasound, and endomicroscopes are being incorporated into the algorithms to diagnose and treat complications of IBD. This issue highlights all of these advances by the experts in their fields.

  • Maladies artérielles

    • 1st Edition

    • French
    Sous l’égide de la Société française de médecine vasculaire (SFMV), du Collège des enseignants de médecine vasculaire (CEMV) et du Collège français de pathologie vasculaire (CFPV). Cet ouvrage synthétise les connaissances actuelles sur les maladies artérielles périphériques, telles que l’athérosclérose, les pathologies anévrismales, les dissections, les artériopathies non athéromateuses. Il constitue un ouvrage de référence sur les pathologies artérielles auxquelles sont confrontés de très nombreux praticiens (médecins vasculaires, chirurgiens vasculaires, cardiologues, internistes, radiologues etc.) et paramédicaux prenant en charge des patients présentant une pathologie vasculaire. Articulé autour de huit chapitres, ce traité présente la particularité d’offrir dans un même ouvrage les connaissances fondamentales vasculaires (anatomie, histologie, physiologie) nécessaires à la compréhension et au traitement de la pathologie, mais aussi les différents moyens d’exploration pour chaque pathologie, l’épidémiologie, les étiologies, la clinique, les examens complémentaires, la stratégie diagnostique et la prise en charge thérapeutique. Une iconographie détaillée de 300 images (planches anatomiques, arbres décisionnels, imagerie médicale) vient enrichir les différents chapitres. Ce traité répond à de nombreuses interrogations, comme, par exemple : - Quels sont les critères échographiques d’une sténose carotidienne aujourd’hui ? - Comment traiter une dissection carotidienne ? - Quand réaliser un index de pression au gros orteil ? - Peut-on encore utiliser le terme de périmètre de marche ? - Quelle réadaptation pour l’amputé ? - Quels types de pansements utiliser en présence d’un ulcère artériel ? - Quels antithrombotiques après une revascularisation ? - Quels traitements dans les pathologies inflammatoires artérielles ? - Quand préférer un geste endovasculaire à une chirurgie ouverte dans la prise en charge d’un anévrisme de l’aorte abdominale ? - Quelles pathologies artérielles chez le sportif ? Ayant mobilisé plus d’une centaine de contributeurs de différentes nationalités, enseignants et médecins vasculaires, notamment, mais aussi des praticiens issus d’autres spécialités, ce traité, coordonné par Alessandra Bura-Rivière (Professeur des Universités-Praticie... Hospitalier de médecine vasculaire, Chef de service de Médecine vasculaire, CHU de Toulouse) et Guillaume Mahé (Maître de Conférences des Universités-Praticie... Hospitalier de Médecine vasculaire, responsable de l’unité de médecine vasculaire, CHU de Rennes) est destiné à tous les spécialistes amenés à participer à la prise en charge des maladies vasculaires.
