  • Les thérapies familiales systémiques

    • 4th Edition
    • Karine Albernhe
    • French
    Aux côtés des thérapies comportementales, cognitives ou psychanalytiques, les thérapies systémiques constituent une nouvelle approche des troubles psychiatriques, fondée sur la prise en charge psychologique globale de la famille, à partir de la demande de soins formulée par un membre du « système familial ». C'est cette notion de système qui guide la manière particulière dont l'équipe soignante va aborder la demande de soins, la replacer dans un contexte plus large, formuler des hypothèses thérapeutiques à partir de références théoriques précises et évaluer les résultats. Cette philosophie du soin connaît en France un plein essor, en particulier en psychiatrie infanto-juvénile et pour des conflits intra-familiaux. Unique en son genre, cet ouvrage propose une synthèse des différents courants de pensée systémique, et constitue une approche solide et ouverte des recherches actuelles. La richesse de ce livre tient également à la diversité des problèmes traités par l'abord systémique : les troubles du comportement à tous les âges de la vie, les crises conjugales et familiales ainsi que les crises intra- ou interinstitutionnell... Le lecteur dispose ainsi de précieuses informations qui le guideront dans son développement personnel, familial et professionnel. Cette quatrième édition, actualisée, intègre de nouveaux apports théoriques sur l'élaboration du modèle systémique, la présentation du théâtre-thérapie et du psychodrame systémique ainsi qu'une synthèse de différentes démarches thérapeutiques (développées dans Applications en thérapie familiale systémique) pour étayer les théories.

    • Sangam Kanekar

    White matter lesions have been always challenging for general as well as neuroradiologits. Any disease process in the brain or body can affect white matter, making it very difficult to pinpoint the diagnosis. However the application of the proper algorithmic approach, pattern of distribution, and study of the morphology of these lesions makes it possible to limit the differential diagnosis and, many times, pinpoint specific diagnosis. Advancement of various imaging techniques predominately in MR (MR spectroscopy, MR perfusion, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). functional MR) along with PET has further improved our understanding of these disease processes. However, most of these techniques are new and not well understood by every physician. This issue will cover the topics necessary to master these techniques.

    Trois ans se sont écoulés depuis l'édition de la première version de cet ouvrage consacré au diabète sucré, maladie dont la fréquence ne cesse d'augmenter et dont le traitement devient de plus en plus complexe. Pour tenir compte de l'évolution des idées, plusieurs chapitres ont été actualisés ou rajoutés. Comme dans la première édition, nous avons particulièrement insisté sur les aspects pratiques de la prise en charge et les nouvelles méthodes d'exploration, de suivi et de traitement. Ce dernier a bénéficié des avancées scientifiques des trois dernières décennies : développement de l'autosurveillance glycémique, de l'enregistrement glycémique continu et mise sur le marché de nouvelles classes thérapeutiques qui ont conduit à renforcer notre arsenal thérapeutique. Les traitements par infusion insulinique continue n'ont cessé de progresser et ils ont contribué à l'amélioration globale de l'équilibre glycémique des diabétiques de type 1. Les nouvelles recommandations diagnostiques et thérapeutiques ont été développées de manière didactique en essayant de les insérer dans le continuum de la longue histoire du diabète sucré. Ainsi, cet ouvrage s'adresse à l'ensemble des professionnels de santé concernés par la prise en charge des patients diabétiques.

    Cet ouvrage apporte un éclairage nouveau et différent sur la pratique de la psychothérapie et propose une aide efficace au praticien en lui offrant de travailler sur des cas cliniques tirés de l'exercice au quotidien. Les auteurs, tous deux psychiatres, l'un d'orientation psychanalytique, éclectique et intégrative, et l'autre cognitvo-comportemen... confrontent leur approche du patient. Ainsi, de l'entretien clinique à la mise en place de solutions thérapeutiques, iIs soulèvent les questions fondamentales auxquelles sont confrontés les psychothérapeutes. En effet chaque cas part d'une rencontre avec un patient et détaille un point de difficulté précis selon différents angles théoriques, en particulier psychanalytique ou cognitif et comportemental, de manière claire et didactique, pour proposer des solutions directement applicables dans la pratique quotidienne. Cette démarche incite le lecteur à réfléchir à sa pratique personnelle ou aux efforts de mise en pratique en répondant à ces questions, puis à confronter ses propres tentatives de réponse à la conceptualisation et à l'argumentation proposée par les auteurs. Destiné aux psychothérapeutes, cet ouvrage constitue un outil clair et pédagogique, qui apporte des réponses concrètes au quotidien du thérapeute.

    • English
    This issue of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics in North America will focus on the advances in the evaluation and management of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL) that have emerged within the last few years. Although spontaneous pregnancy loss occurs in approximately 15% to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies in reproductive-aged women, RPL occurs in 2% to 5% of the same population. Recent reports on large populations of women with RPL have helped to characterize the incidence and diversity of this heterogeneous disorder, and a definite cause of pregnancy loss can be established on over 50% of all couples after a thorough evaluation. New diagnostic strategies, which include 23-chromosome microarray genetic testing of the products of conception in failed pregnancies, offer the promise of understanding the cause of most pregnancy losses. These recent advances, combined with the contributions from the authors in this issue of Clinics and many others interested in this field, lead to the publication of the long-awaited publication on evaluation and treatment of RPL from the Practice Committee of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. A complete evaluation will include investigations into genetic, anatomic, immunologic, endocrinologic, and iatrogenic factors. "Generally the book is well written by internationally recognized and dedicated specialists, informative, updated and well-illustrated. I can recommend this book for physicians, scientists and also interested medical students who want to understand more about high risk early pregnancy."
