  • Remédiation cognitive

    • French
    La remédiation cognitive est un outil de soin destiné à renforcer les ressources cognitives afin de restaurer la capacité à percevoir, à comprendre, à décider et à agir. Elle vise à réduire les conséquences de troubles cognitifs pouvant avoir un fort retentissement négatif sur la capacité des personnes à affronter leur quotidien, leurs relations interpersonnelles et à s’insérer professionnellement. Des altérations de l’attention, de la mémoire, des fonctions exécutives et visuospatiales et de la cognition sociale sont associées aux troubles psychiques sévères (dont la schizophrénie et les troubles bipolaires), à la dépression, aux troubles neurodéveloppementau... (dont les troubles du spectre de l’autisme et les déficits de l’attention avec ou sans hyperactivité), aux lésions cérébrales (consécutives en particulier à un traumatisme, à un accident vasculaire ou à une alcoolo-dépendance) et aux affections neurodégénératives. La remédiation cognitive intervient après un bilan neuropsychologique préalable, lorsque les troubles sont stabilisés et que le traitement psychotrope a été réduit à la posologie minimale efficace.Les compétences acquises en séances peuvent être appliquées à des situations autres que celles travaillées et doivent permettre au patient de mieux faire face aux situations quotidiennes, favorisant ainsi son rétablissement. Les programmes de remédiation cognitive reposent sur la réalisation d’exercices spécifiques verbaux, écrits ou informatisés, dans le cadre de séances groupales ou individuelles.Cette troisième édition, entièrement revue, enrichie et actualisée par les spécialistes du domaine, tient compte des travaux scientifiques récents. Elle décrit les supports et programmes de remédiation cognitive et leur mise en oeuvre en s’appuyant sur des exemples pratiques.Cet ouvrage est destiné à tous les professionnels - et futurs professionnels - de santé mentale (notamment les psychiatres, les psychologues, les infirmiers et les ergothérapeutes).

    • French
    Au cœur de l’enseignement de base des études de kinésithérapie, la morpho-palpation et l’anatomie palpatoire reposent sur l'observation des reliefs et des formes des différentes régions du corps humains et sur l'action de toucher pour sentir, découvrir le corps humain. Véritable « science de l'œil et du toucher », elle permet de découvrir les caractéristiques anatomiques de tous les patients, quelle que soit leur morphologie.Cet ouvrage a pour objectif :d’une part faire un état des lieux morphologique, en tenant compte de tous les éléments interférents ;d’autre part montrer qu’un bon résultat morpho-palpatoire est le fruit d’un bon geste soutenu par une technique révélatrice. La connaissance théorique intellectuelle ne suffit pas, le « savoir-faire » est indispensable ;ensuite lister les structures pouvant faire l’objet d’une investigation visuelle et palpatoire et de quitter l’idée d’un modèle imaginaire et moyen afin d’aborder la réalité, masculine ou féminine, sujet maigre ou enrobé, jeune ou vieux, voire le sujet sain ou le sujet pathologique ;enfin corroborer ces affirmations à la vérification réaliste et concrète sur le cadavre frais c’est-à-dire, tonus musculaire en moins, sur un sujet semblable à en tout point à un patient potentiel, avec ses variantes normales.Après une introduction, l’ouvrage est découpé en 2 grandes parties et 8 grands chapitres : Abord morpho-anthropologiq... abord morphologique, palpation osseuse, palpation articulaire, palpation musculaire, palpation viscérale thoracique, palpation viscérale abdominale, palpation viscérale pelvienne.Bénéfician... d’une maquette en couleur, l’ouvrage propose une approche originale et pédagogique, qui met l’accent sur la systématisation des informations, qui permet de trouver rapidement l’information pertinente étayée par une riche iconographie inédite et de très grande qualité de 800 clichés, où de nombreuses figures sont des diptyques de photos accolées représentatives des morphologies. Les photographies mettent l'accent sur la mise en relief des détails anatomiques les plus importants.
