      • English
      Placebo Effects in Neurology delves into the intriguing phenomenon of placebos and their profound impact on neurological disorders. This book explores how placebo effects, occurring both in clinical trials and real-world practice, influence therapeutic outcomes, doctor-patient relationships, and symptom perception. The content provides insights into psychobiological mechanisms and specific conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and migraine while addressing ethical and methodological concerns. With discussions on both deceptive and open-label placebos, the book invites readers to reconsider the potential of this underappreciated tool in neurology, offering a bridge between scientific research and practical application in the treatment of various conditions.Beyond its focus on placebo mechanisms, the book examines their role in alleviating symptoms of neuropathic pain, peripheral neuropathies, fatigue, and neuropsychiatric disorders like depression and anxiety. It also presents a methodological lens on how placebos are used to validate treatments in trials while debating their ethical implications. By weaving together science, ethics, and practical insights, Placebo Effects in Neurology stands out as a compelling resource for clinicians, researchers, and anyone interested in the nuanced intersection of psychology and neurology.

      Les monographies en Psychiatrie sont des ouvrages de référence sur les troubles psychiatriques et les grandes problématiques de la discipline. Ellespermettent aux praticiens d’approfondir et d’actualiser leurs connaissances, en exposant les données fondamentales actuelles et leurs applications dansla pratique clinique. Le sommeil, pilier essentiel de la santé mentale, reste encore trop souvent sous-estimé dans la pratique psychiatrique. Pourtant, ces troubles sont omniprésents et intimement liés à de nombreux troubles psychiatriques, qu’il s’agisse des troubles de l’humeur, anxieux, psychotiques, neurodéveloppementau... des addictions ou encore des troubles des conduites alimentaires. Le véritable enjeu réside aujourd’hui dans la compréhension fine des mécanismes physiologiques et neurobiologiques du sommeil, afin d’améliorer le diagnostic, la prise en charge et la prévention des troubles psychiatriques associés. Les récentes avancées enneurosciences, en génétique et en chronobiologie offrent des perspectives inédites : il devient crucial d’intégrer pleinement la dimension du sommeil au cœur de la psychiatrie moderne, pour proposer des soins plus précis et personnalisés.Premie... ouvrage de référence en langue française sur le sujet, il offre une exploration complète des liens entre le sommeil, les rythmes biologiques et la santé mentale, structurée en trois parties essentielles. La première partie pose les bases fondamentales et cliniques du sommeil et de ses troubles en psychiatrie, en abordant différents champs : l’histoire, la physiologie, la neurobiologie, la clinique, l’épidémiologie, la psychométrie, ainsi que l’organisation du systèmede soins. La seconde partie se concentre sur les altérations du sommeil associées aux différents troubles psychiatriques, allant de l’enfant au sujet âgé. Elle propose également une sémiologie clinique éclairée par les dernières données scientifiques et des recommandations d’experts, des stratégies de diagnostic et des outils innovants. Enfin, une troisième partie traitent des prises en charge de ces troubles du sommeil et des rythmes biologiques en psychiatrie, avec des approches thérapeutiques variées et détaillées, allant de la pharmacothérapie aux psychothérapies et aux chronothérapeutiques... ouvrage est un outil indispensable aux psychiatres, psychologues, médecins d’autres spécialités impliqués dans la médecine du sommeil, chercheurs, étudiants, ainsi qu’à tous ceux qui souhaitent approfondir leurs connaissances et leur pratique, dans ce domaine en pleine expansion. Cet ouvrage s’adresse à un large public professionnel. À la croisée de la psychiatrie, de la psychologie, de la physiologie, des neurosciences et de la médecine du sommeil, Sommeil et santé mentale a pour ambition d’offrir des repères solides et des outils pratiques pour mieux comprendre, diagnostiquer et traiter les troubles du sommeil en psychiatrie. POINTS CLÉSComprendre les mécanismes physiologiques, neurobiologiques et chronobiologiques du sommeil en lien avec la santé mentale.Repérer les troubles du sommeil associés aux principales pathologies psychiatriques et leur impact sur le diagnostic et la prise en charge.Proposer une stratégie thérapeutique adaptée au trouble et au patient.Pierre Alexis Geoffroy, est professeur des universités à l’université Paris Cité et praticien hospitalier au sein du département de psychiatrie et addictologie de l’hôpital Bichat-Claude Bernard et du 22e secteur du GHU Paris psychiatrie et neurosciences.
