  • Psychotic Disorders

    Comorbidity Detection Promotes Improved Diagnosis And Treatment
    • 1st Edition
    • André Barciela Veras + 1 more
    • English
    A counterintuitive and novel approach to the long-sought goal of subtyping schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders emerges from ongoing research.  Five psychosis associated anxiety and depressive subtypes each help define five corresponding psychosis diagnoses, their fixed false beliefs, and most importantly, their treatments. These anxiety and depressive comorbidities have long been long overlooked as an understandable hodgepodge of distressing symptoms caused by the pain of psychosis.  But these five comorbidities usually precede onset of the psychosis, and their treatment can significantly improve outcome. So, maybe, the causation is the other way around: maybe they are among the underlying contributors to schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. The chapter authors expertly detail the data supporting this innovative approach.  They provide fictional case studies, DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, specific interviewing approaches for the five comorbidities in psychosis patients, and improved treatment options.  Other chapters explore psychoses related to substance use, medical illness and medical treatment, as well as other factors that contribute to psychotic disorders. This first-of-its-kind reference is a valuable clinical, educational, research and training resource for psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers, neurologists and anyone interested in the care and treatment of someone with a psychotic disorder.

  • Endométriose

    • French
    Cet ouvrage consacré à l’endométriose a pour objectif de rassembler les connaissances actuelles sur le sujet et de donner au praticien les clés pour répondre aux différentes situations cliniques. La prise en charge de l’endométriose est un thème majeur de santé publique dont l’enjeu épidémiologique est conséquent : la pathologie touche 10 à 20 % des femmes. Il s’agit de la première cause d’infertilité en France alors même qu’il faut en moyenne sept ans pour établir le diagnostic. Le livre structuré en neuf parties constitue une mise au point didactique sur le sujet. Richement illustré, il détaille ainsi les aspects épidémiologiques et physiopathologiques, intégrant l’exploration, et aborde toutes les formes d’endométriose, du diagnostic à la prise en charge (traitements médicamenteux, non-médicamenteux, chirurgicaux). Il traite également les spécificités liées à l’adolescence, la fertilité et la grossesse mais aussi le versant psychologique de la maladie notamment associé à la douleur. À partir de leur expérience clinique et des données scientifiques les plus récentes, les auteurs, spécialistes de l’endométriose, tentent de répondre aux questions des professionnels de santé pour pouvoir ainsi offrir à chaque femme une prise en charge personnalisée.
