La remédiation cognitive intervient après un bilan neuropsychologique préalable, lorsque la pathologie est stabilisée et que le traitement médicamenteux a été réduit à la posologie minimale efficace. Les compétences acquises en séances sont destinées à se généraliser et à permettre d’affronter avec plus de succès les situations quotidiennes, favorisant ainsi le 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.

    La diététique est aujourd’hui, plus que jamais, une branche majeure de la thérapeutique. Confortée par les avancées physiopathologiques, les enquêtes épidémiologiques et les études d’intervention randomisées, la diététique va de pair avec l’arme pharmacologique, dont elle en consolide les actions et permet parfois même d’en différer la mise en œuvre. La diététique a une place privilégiée en prévention primaire, participe du traitement de nombreuses maladies, et en est parfois le traitement exclusif comme dans certaines maladies innées du métabolisme ou de la maladie cœliaque. Cependant, le recours à la diététique est souvent contraint par la lenteur et la difficulté de sa prescription, qui fait appel à des connaissances spécifiques. Ce manuel de diététique a pour objectif de mettre à la portée des médecins et des diététicien(ne)s l’argumentaire et les clefs permettant l’élaboration d’une intervention diététique efficace et pertinente. Des fiches diététiques pour les prescripteurs facilitent l’applicabilité du régime décrit dans chaque situation, qu’il s’agisse de l’équilibre alimentaire, des maladies métaboliques, digestives, cardio-vasculaires, rénales, du cancer ou des intolérances alimentaires et des allergies.
