  • Dermatite Atopique Canine

    • 1st Edition
    • Pascal Prélaud
    • French
    La dermatite atopique canine (DAC) est une dermatose inflammatoire chronique associant des causes génétiques et environnementales, et touchant plus de 10 % des chiens en France. Cette maladie a fait l’objet de nombreuses publications scientifiques, mettant notamment au jour ses liens avec la dermatite atopique humaine (DAH). Son impact sur la qualité de vie des animaux et de leurs maîtres en fait une maladie « vedette », premier motif de consultation chez le chien. Fruit d’un important travail de synthèse, cet ouvrage a la particularité d’être consacré à une seule maladie. Il fournit toutes les informations nécessaires à une compréhension fine de la DAC, ainsi que les moyens pratiques pour les mettre en oeuvre dans le diagnostic, le traitement, l’éducation thérapeutique du propriétaire et la prévention. Didactique, l’ouvrage se divise en trois parties : - Les aspects fondamentaux, - Les aspects cliniques, - La thérapeutique et la prévention. L’ouvrage, richement illustré, comporte de nombreux encadrés qui explicitent des points précis, font des apartés historiques et donnent des clés pour la pratique clinique. Des compléments numériques (vidéos, diaporamas, fiches) sont également proposés, illustrant certains symptômes, examens cytologiques et diagnostics différentiels. L’objectif de ce guide est d’aider les vétérinaires et étudiants vétérinaires à comprendre et traiter ce syndrome complexe aux symptômes spécifiques selon les races, et pour lequel les traitements connaissent des avancées spectaculaires. Pour enfin mettre un terme à la frustration du praticien face à « ce chien qui se gratte », ne plus se limiter à des traitements symptomatiques répétés, et ainsi soulager durablement l’animal, comme son propriétaire.

  • Art-thérapie

    Principes, méthodes et outils pratiques
    • 2nd Edition
    • Anne-Marie Dubois
    • French
    L’art-thérapie connaît depuis une trentaine d’années un réel engouement, particulièrement au sein des institutions de soins. Des ateliers utilisant des médiations artistiques ne cessent de se multiplier dans différents champs, psychiatrique, éducatif et social notamment. Parallèlement, la demande des patients pour des approches de soins différenciées augmente considérablement dans de nombreux pays.L’art-thérapie recouvre des pratiques, des conceptualisations variées, parfois empiriques, et cette diversité rend complexes la définition, la pratique, mais aussi la formation des arts-thérapeutes. C’est pourquoi il est clairement question, dans cet ouvrage, de psychothérapies à médiation artistique comme d’un outil spécifique d’aide et de soin qu’il est indispensable de définir, référencer et comparer aux autres psychothérapies.Cett... deuxième édition fournit tous les repères nécessaires à la compréhension et à la pratique de l’art-thérapie. Elle expose dans un premier temps ses fondements historiques, conceptuels et théoriques, avant de présenter les différents types de médiations artistiques opérantes (arts plastiques, modelage, écriture, musique, théâtre et danse). La deuxième partie de l’ouvrage, réalisée avec la participation de spécialistes de chaque pratique artistique, présente des parcours cliniques nouveaux et emblématiques. Pour une pratique cohérente et professionnelle de l’art-thérapie, la troisième partie est consacrée à deux chapitres essentiels que sont les indications et les évaluations.

  • Psychologically Informed Physiotherapy

    Embedding Psychosocial Perspectives within Clinical Management
    • 1st Edition
    • Stuart Porter
    • English
    Psychologically Informed Physiotherapy is a key new textbook for those who need a trusted and comprehensive resource to guide them in applying psychosocial perspectives to their physiotherapy practice. The first of its kind, this textbook brings together an international and interdisciplinary team of leading experts in the field. Together they present an evidence-based range of ideas and concepts around the psychologically informed practice framework, bringing psychosocial aspects of physiotherapy to the fore alongside the established biomedical model. By applying these aspects to screening, exploration and triaging, physiotherapists are better able to identify the origins of pain and barriers to rehabilitation; and so are more likely to achieve consistently good clinical outcomes for their patients. Throughout, clinical case studies ensure that the theory is then grounded in a variety of practical scenarios after which some reflective exercises and clinically relevant scenarios reinforce learning and understanding. Chapters on: Psychology of professional identity in health care The biopsychosocial model Screening for red flags Adapting interactions with others to form empowering relationships and influence behavioural change Neuro-immune-endocri... interactions and clinical practice in stress, pain and recovery Care of the anxious patient through cognitive and person-centred strategies Alternative and evolving models of practice, including the clinical flag system The psychology of the athlete from the physiotherapist’s perspective Using counselling and psychological strategies within physiotherapy Making evidence-based decisions and measuring effectiveness in practice Using psychological interventions as a student or new graduate

  • Implications of Disaster Preparedness for Nursing, An Issue of Nursing Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 51-4
    • Deborah J. Persell
    • English
    According to the Center for Research and Epidemiology of Disasters, the frequency and severity of disasters has increased over 300% in the last decade. Healthcare systems and individual healthcare practitioners, including nurses, are now fulfilling multiple roles in disaster preparedness in the whole of community: planning, preparedness, risk identification, mitigation, response and recovery. Nurses are considered first responders for biological events or when the disaster occurs where they are working. Nurses act as first receivers when accepting patients/victims for care whose injuries result from non-biological events occurring outside the nurse’s workplace. The vast majority of practicing nurses received no disaster preparedness education in their basic nursing education program. Nurses graduating in the 21st century are exposed to some of the concepts of disaster nursing but have little experience unless there is a disaster or emergency where they work or go to school. Readers will be updated on this topic because articles in this edition demonstrate a vast array of implications for nurses in disaster preparedness around the world: chemical, biological, radiological/nuclear... explosives (CBRNE); natural disasters; new models of training and educating nurses for disasters, military nurse response, mental health issues as well as non-government organizations.
