      Physical health and mental health are inextricably linked together. Moreover, as the biology of mental illnesses is gradually – and inexorably – being elucidated, the overlap between physical illnesses and mental illnesses has become even more apparent. These observations ‘set the stage’ for readers of this issue of Psychiatric Clinics in which a variety of articles are presented from all aspects of medicine - from emergency mental health to how burn patients heal and cope with the physical and mental outcomes, to coverage of issues such as prolonged stay in the intensive care unit, comorbidities in the elderly, food allergies, depression and other common primary care conditions, and childhood diabetes. A primer on interviewing techniques and role play is presented along with the role of nurses who cross both mental and physical aspects of healthcare and the essential role of a supportive family to the interdiscipinary team .

      La motilité, associée à la présence de la vitalité dans les tissus du corps humain, est un concept de base en ostéopathie. Ce livre propose une définition simple et systématique de la motilité basée sur les déplacements de toutes les structures du corps pendant la période de l'embryogénèse. Ces mouvements initiaux, intrinsèques à l'énergie des tissus, répondent à l'essence de la définition de la motilité et, à ce titre, sont une composante essentielle du mouvement normal des tissus du corps. L'ostéopathe peut utiliser ces notions fondamentales dans ses interventions cliniques afin d'enrichir son arsenal thérapeutique et d'approfondir sa compréhension des fondements de l'ostéopathie et du fonctionnement de l'humain. Illustré de façon originale, ce livre présente un nouveau modèle de pratique qui a été conçu par Alain Auberville à la suite de 30 ans d'expérimentations et de transmission par l'enseignement. Mis en texte par Andrée Aubin, ce modèle a été relié aux concepts ostéopathiques classiques afin de faciliter son intégration dans la pratique clinique quotidienne.

      Les troubles du spectre autistique (TSA) sont des anomalies du neurodéveloppement d'apparition précoce chez le jeune enfant, responsables de perturbations durables et sévères de la communication et de la relation. Les familles confrontées aux TSA sont en grande difficulté pour obtenir auprès des professionnels de santé une information appropriée, leur permettant de mieux comprendre leur enfant et de mettre en place son accompagnement à domicile. Ainsi, cet ouvrage aborde dans un premier temps une information actualisée sur les TSA, puis le programme d'accompagnement éducatif individualisé avec les techniques d'intervention susceptibles d'être mises en place au domicile. Ce programme, développé par l'équipe du Professeur Amaria Baghdadli au sein du Centre de ressources autisme du CHRU de Montpellier, est à destination des professionnels. L'ouvrage se veut pratique, afin de leur servir de support pour l'animation d'un groupe d'éducation thérapeutique, avec le détail des sessions, le contenu et le matériel nécessaires.
