      La schizophrénie est une maladie mentale qui touche environ 600 000 personnes en France et pour laquelle, bien souvent, les soignants disposent de peu de moyens et d'outils au-delà du traitement pharmacologique et de la relation thérapeutique. Cet ouvrage, basé sur le modèle du rétablissement, est précisément conçu comme un outil destiné aux intervenants en psychiatrie communautaire, qui sont en première ligne dans la prise en charge des personnes souffrant de schizophrénie : infirmiers, éducateurs, travailleurs sociaux, ergothérapeutes. Il est également utile aux psychiatres et aux psychologues. Guide pratique et synthétique sur les interventions psychosociales complémentaires aux traitements pharmacologiques, cet ouvrage fait le point sur les connaissances actuelles autour de la schizophrénie et du rétablissement. Il aborde d'abord les stratégies générales d'engagement dans les soins, d'évaluation et de psychoéducation, puis les interventions psychosociales spécifiques pour les hallucinations, les idées délirantes, le syndrome déficitaire, la désorganisation, les déficits de la motivation et le soutien aux proches. Clair et pratique, cet ouvrage offrira aux professionnels de santé et du social une aide précieuse pour faire face aux situations difficiles des patients atteints de schizophrénie. Entièrement actualisée, cette nouvelle édition propose notamment un chapitre supplémentaire consacré aux « Interventions psychoéducatives destinées aux proches aidants ».

      APRNs are essential to deliver healthcare in today’s complex environment. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists have met that challenge for over 150 years. Nurse Anesthetists have shifted from the intensive care unit as critical care nurses into the operating room arena. The operating room is an environment that is uniquely challenging. A critical care background is essential to meet these challenges, and all Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists share that experience. The topic; "Certified Registered Nurse Anesthesia: Critical Care Nursing in the Operating Room", highlights critical care nursing as it is applied in the operating room setting. Critical care nurses will appreciate the knowledge base that is essential for the anesthetist. As healthcare reform demands greater efficiency, more and more procedures are performed outside the operating room. The line between the Operating Room, ICU and Interventional Radiology will become less defined. Critical care nurses are, and will be more involved in patient care while an anesthetic is administered. It is the goal of this proposed monograph to share knowledge and experience so that ICU nurses will learn more about caring for the anesthetized patient.
