Intuitive Acupuncture - John Hamwee - Bog - Jessica Kingsley Publishers - Plusbog.dk

The role of intuition is seldom identified in acupuncture training as one of the keys to effective practice. John Hamwee here explores its paramount importance in diagnosis and treatment, showing how development of the intuitive sense, and its appropriate use in the treatment room, is vital to building the most effective individual practice.Through discussion of theory, clinical example, and the experiences of leading acupuncturists, the author shows how intuition, or the grasping of subliminal clues, can be developed, based on the practitioner''s growing `storeroom'' of clinical experience and why it is so useful for this to become a conscious and rigorously examined process. He discusses the process of testing intuition against objective observation of the patient, and how an intuitive leap can provide a shortcut across an innumerable series of diagnostic steps, and lead to diagnostic and treatment decisions that make complete sense of the observable phenomena. He suggests that learning to trust the intuitive faculty, while still fully interrogating conclusions, is the basis of better patient outcomes and significantly advanced practice.This thoughtful and engaging book will be one that acupuncturists will want to read and reread, and will speak to all therapists, counsellors, and health practitioners.

Children with Language Impairments - Morag Donaldson - Bog - Jessica Kingsley Publishers - Plusbog.dk

''Throughout the book the author is able to present concisely and accurately rather complex research information about children with language impairments without unduly oversimplifying the issues involved. The scope of the book is therefore particularly appropriate for professionals wishing to find out the basics about language-impaired children, such as educational psychologists and teachers with little experience with such children. Furthermore first- or second-year undergraduate students, as well as parents with an interest in the area, of speech-language pathology will find this book stimulating reading.''- British Journal of Developmental Psychology''…a valuable introduction for parents, speech and language therapy students and child care professionals who want to know more about language impairment… very readable.''- RCSLT Bulletin''This excellent little book is a scholarly, but very readable summary of child language impairment… it will prove useful for students who require some knowledge in areas of communication impairment such as teachers, nursery nurses, psychologists and medical practitioners…its descriptions and arguments are concise… there is a comprehensive up to date bibliography which would make the book of use to practising speech and language therapists.''- AFASIC Newsletter''…a well-written volume that could prove useful for expanding the awareness of professionals in related disciplines… Donaldson has succeeded in providing a brief but well informed overview of language disorders for professionals who deal routinely with children but who have no background in communication disorders. The text''s focus would be particularly useful for health care professionals such as general practitioners or physicians'' assistants, to assist them in making timely and accurate referrals for language testing and intervention. There is much to be gained by providing professionals from related disciplines with a well written overview of language impairments, and Donaldson''s book gives us the means to do so.''- Topics in Language DisordersThere are many ways of defining and categorising language and communication disorders, and this introduction examines: definitions of language impairments in children; categorising language impairments; methods of diagnosis and assessment; related or accompanying problems; testing methods; and strategies for intervention.Examining the prevalence of language disorders in children, the book is an important summary of current awareness of language impairments in children. On the basis of research evidence from the literature, it is argued that children with language impairments constitute a heterogeneous group, in terms of the severity of the disorder, the aspects of language ability which are impaired and the extent to which non-linguistic abilities are also affected. This implies that approaches to intervention need to be geared to the strengths and weaknesses of the individual child and therefore that they must be closely integrated with thorough, ongoing assessment procedures. The book offers advice on assessment methods and intervention, and provides a detailed glossary of the most important terminology used.

Reiki in Clinical Practice - Ann Baldwin - Bog - Jessica Kingsley Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Reiki is a healing technique, using gentle touch with the hands placed on or slightly away from the body to optimize physical, mental and emotional health. It is based on the assumption that the flow of energy through the body can be supported and adjusted to promote wellness. Reiki in Clinical Practice is aimed at two main groups: ''medical'' practitioners and those with a ''medical'' background such as nurses, osteopaths, physical therapists, who may be familiar with Reiki but lack an evidence-based guide on conditions for which Reiki is most effective and who want the ''ammunition'' to justify its use in their practice; those unfamiliar with Reiki but who are interested in finding how it can benefit their patients.The book provides an accurate description of Reiki, based on qualitative and quantitative scientific evidence, in terms of how it can be used in medical settings to benefit patients of all types, physiologically and psychologically. It achieves this by following the journey of the author (a scientist), starting from her unsolicited encounter with Reiki and personal observations to her continuing testing of its validity and her quest to determine its effectiveness through robust, scientific investigation.The author distils the essence of the currently peer-reviewed published research to produce a clear outline of the effectiveness of Reiki in alleviating disease and imbalance in various body systems. She will provide a summary of the effectiveness of Reiki (based on a review of surveys of its use) in various circumstances and locations.She presents possible mechanisms by which Reiki may exert its effects. Unlike most books about Reiki, the book is written in a scientific style with which medical practitioners are familiar (clear, precise, logical and concise), so they will be more likely to read it, judge the evidence for themselves, and hopefully support, extend and develop Reiki treatment and training programs so that their patients will have more access to a non-invasive, inexpensive complementary therapy to assist in their healing.

It is encouraging to read her list of famous people with dyslexia.

They haven''t done too badly, have they?''- www.family2000.org.uk''This readable and useful little book has been written by a mother of two dyslexic sons. She writes about the hard road she travelled to find help and support for them. The book covers most of the questions that the parents of a dyslexic child would want answered, but it is just as useful to professionals who have a dyslexic child in their classroom or setting.The importance of early identification is stressed and the author provides useful information about tests which can be administered to children as young as four years old.There are informative chapters about the various successful techniques and strategies for working with dyslexic children, ranging from the well-publicised rose-coloured spectacles to the part played by a special diet.''- Nursery WorldOver the years, many quick fix approaches to cure dyslexia have been developed and used. These ''miracle cures'' have offered hope to many parents who are left disillusioned by the school system and health service. With no other way to turn, many parents spend more and more money on special glasses, vitamins, exercises and specialist advice, but do they actually work? Written by a parent of two dyslexic sons, who herself searched for anything that would ''cure'' them, this new book is a practical guide to dyslexia''s many ''miracle cures''.Practical Strategies for Living with Dyslexia suggests that early identification of this condition may be the key. Dyslexia is often not diagnosed until children have started school, yet testing is now available from the age of four-and-a-half. On top of this many dyslexics also have eye and ear problems that go undetected, which further exacerbates the problem.Looking at the possible remedies available, such as tinted glasses, nutritional supplements and exercising, and considering the benefits of early identification of dyslexia, this book will be an essential practical resource for both the parents of, and the professionals who work, with people with dyslexia.

It could well serve as a springboard for a multitude of research projects. At the very least, the book will provide you with a summary of the very latest research on the subject.'' - Prime Focus''Written by Ken Rigby, this draws on the author''s extensive research to examine how bullying is being understood in different societies and offers critical appraisal of the suggested ways of tackling it. The author defines bullying as the systematic abuse of power, therefore making it a vital issue for society at large - not just schools but the workplace, prison and the home.''- Young People Now Magazine''This book is an attempt to descibe how the problem of bullying has been, and is being, conceptualised and understood; to explain what researchers and educators (and others) are saying about why there is so much bullying going on; and to examine what solutions are being canvassed... Bullying is a phenomenon one can literally find everywhere. It is time that our perspective on bullying extended further afield. In a way, this book is a testing of the water. It is the first book that has attempted to examine bullying comprehensively. If I am right in thinking that an examination of bullying as "the systematic abuse of power" is an issue that is of vital importance to society at large, then it should indeed be useful to consider bullying in a wide range of contexts: not only in schools, the workplace and prisons, but also and especially in the home, long the preserve of students of domestic violence.''- Ken Rigby, from the PrefaceThis book takes as its subject matter bullying behaviour in a wide range of settings, including kindergartens, schools, the workplace, in sports and prisons. Examining bullying in each of these areas, it discusses alternative views and perspectives on bullying, helping policy makers and professionals to coordinate their work and so tackle the problem effectively.Dr Ken Rigby draws upon his extensive research into bullying in different countries, societies and social contexts and considers many aspects of victimisation within this broad perspective, including:* the defining characteristics of bullying* the harm that bullying does* the role of gender, race and culture* children''s and adult''s attitudes to, and perceptions of bullying* current views on methods of prevention and interventionThis multi-faceted exploration will help to deepen understanding of bullying in its many manifestations. It also provides practical and critical discussion of suggested ways of tackling bullying for professionals dealing with it in their field, providing valuable guidance in combating an ever-present problem.

Perspectives on Rehabilitation and Dementia - - Bog - Jessica Kingsley Publishers - Plusbog.dk

''The volume has ambitious scope and covers almost all potential supports and services. Most of the chapters have been written by professionals who work with people with dementia and their families, and most are British social workers and professionals allied-to-medicine (occupational therapy, physiotherapy and speech and language therapy).''- Ageing and Society''Marshall, in her introduction, states that the aim of the book is to strengthen the link between rehabilitation and dementia and to encourage the understanding that people with dementia do benefit from rehabilitation and treatment. The book clearly meets this aim with the contributors offering convincing arguments for the conceptualisation of dementia care as rehabilitation and the potential for improvements in symptoms and in quality of life for people with dementia... The book is accessible, easy to read, informative and provides practical information and new ideas useful for practitioners, services providers, commissioners and policy makers.'' - Social Policy''This book has much to offer a range of professionals and those teaching them at post-qualifying levels.''- Journal of Interprofessional Care''The chapters give us a real and honest appraisal of the pains and possibilities of dementia. And David Jolley ends his chapter with what could be seen as a surprising statement that "Life with dementia is worth Living". His ideas sum up the tone of the book which asserts that people with dementia still have much to give but need help in order to maintain health, safety and dignity, and offers various practical therapeutic models that have been worked out in different settings... throughout the book we are encouraged to keep the person with dementia at the centre of care and to see them as a unique individual with a disability who needs help.''- Perspectives on Rehabilitation and Dementia''Service planners could gain from dipping in to this collection and testing the extent to which their current plans reflect the thinking shared by the authors. The importance of team working is stated throughout, and in an era of partnership working this provides yet another useful policy book on which to hang revised plans''- Community Care''Contributions from people with dementia and their families provide the central core of the text and anchor it firmly in reality. There is a unanimously positive approach to rehabilitation. Many of the authors focus on self esteem and confidence with many references to the need of teamwork. They also share the positive view of people with dementia, which concentrates on personhood focussing upon the whole person, drawing upon their strengths as well as taking into account declining abilities in some areas. This book is strongly recommended for health care professions, particularly nursing courses.''- London Centre for Dementia Care News ''The book explores the positive outcomes for people with dementia in terms of quality of life and self-esteem, especially if rehabilitation is seen as a positive philosophy of practice as well as a set of skills and approaches. It includes many different perspectives from a diverse group of professionals, carers and practitioners, and people with dementia themselves.''- Working with Older PeoplePerspectives on Rehabilitation and Dementia offers new insights into the application of a well-established approach and set of skills to a group of people who have traditionally been thought not to benefit from them. Indeed people with dementia have missed out on physical and psychological rehabilitation very substantially. This book demonstrates that rehabilitation has positive outcomes for people with dementia in terms of quality of life and self-esteem, especially if rehabilitation is seen as a positive philosophy of practice as well as a set of skills and approaches.The perspectives in this book are those of a very diverse group of professionals, carers, and people with dementia themselves. Professional backgrounds and the settings in which they work are diverse and include both academics and practitioners. The voices of people with dementia underline the importance of seeing how they understand rehabilitation for themselves.Professionals in almost all caring professions - nursing, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, acute, geriatric and psychiatric medicine, psychology, social work and rehabilitation - will increasingly find themselves working with people with dementia. They need to be alert to the latest thinking on approaches and interventions. This book provides a readable course text for understanding both their own professional contribution and that of others in the team.
