Parent-Infant Psychotherapy for Sleep Problems Through the Night

Parent-Infant Psychotherapy for Sleep Problems Through the Night

Sleep problems are among the most common urgent and undermining troubles parents meet. This book describes Dilys Daws' pioneering method of therapy for sleep problems honed over 40 years of work with families: brief psychoanalytic therapy with parents and infants together. Offering tried and tested ways of helping parents work things out better with their babies when such problems arise this new edition of Dilys Daws’ classic work updated with expert help from Sarah Sutton frees professionals from the burden of feeling they need to rush to give advice to families showing instead how to begin the challenging journey of discovering new emotions that every baby brings. It sheds light on the sleep problem in the context of a whole range of aspects of the early world: the regulation of babies’ physiological states; dreams and nightmares; the development of separateness; separation and attachment problems; and connections with feeding and weaning. This much-needed compassionate and well-informed guide to helping parents and babies with sleep problems draws on twenty-first century development research and rich clinical wisdom to offer ways of understanding sleep problems in each individual family context with all its particular pressures and possibilities. It will be treasured by new parents struggling with sleeplessness and is enormously valuable for anyone working with parents and their babies. | Parent-Infant Psychotherapy for Sleep Problems Through the Night

Societal Problems as Public Bads

Societal Problems as Public Bads

Corruption crime economic inequality religious fundamentalism financial crises environmental degradation population ageing gender inequality large-scale migration… This book tackles many of the most pressing problems facing societies today. The authors demonstrate that similar social mechanisms lie behind many of these seemingly disparate problems. Indeed many societal problems can be traced back to behaviours that are perfectly rational and often well-intended from an individual perspective. Yet taken together these behaviours can – paradoxically – give rise to unintended and undesirable outcomes at the society level. In addition to addressing the causes of societal problems the book explains why some problems rank higher on the public agenda than others. Moreover it is shown how government intervention may sometimes provide a cure yet other times exacerbate existing problems or create new problems of its own. This book includes an extensive amount of data on trends and geographic variation in the prevalence of different problems as well as telling examples – both recent and historical – from a variety of countries to support its key arguments. Employing a bold multidisciplinary approach the authors draw on insights from across the social sciences including sociology economics anthropology criminology and psychology. Throughout the book students are introduced to analytical concepts such as free-riding herding behaviour principal-agent relations and moral hazard. These concepts are essential tools for better understanding the roots of many societal problems that regularly make headlines in the news. This improved understanding will in turn be critical for ultimately finding solutions to these problems. | Societal Problems as Public Bads

Line Integral Methods for Conservative Problems

Line Integral Methods for Conservative Problems

Line Integral Methods for Conservative Problems explains the numerical solution of differential equations within the framework of geometric integration a branch of numerical analysis that devises numerical methods able to reproduce (in the discrete solution) relevant geometric properties of the continuous vector field. The book focuses on a large set of differential systems named conservative problems particularly Hamiltonian systems. Assuming only basic knowledge of numerical quadrature and Runge–Kutta methods this self-contained book begins with an introduction to the line integral methods. It describes numerous Hamiltonian problems encountered in a variety of applications and presents theoretical results concerning the main instance of line integral methods: the energy-conserving Runge–Kutta methods also known as Hamiltonian boundary value methods (HBVMs). The authors go on to address the implementation of HBVMs in order to recover in the numerical solution what was expected from the theory. The book also covers the application of HBVMs to handle the numerical solution of Hamiltonian partial differential equations (PDEs) and explores extensions of the energy-conserving methods. With many examples of applications this book provides an accessible guide to the subject yet gives you enough details to allow concrete use of the methods. MATLAB codes for implementing the methods are available online.

Responding to Drinking Problems

Responding to Drinking Problems

In the 1970s family doctors social workers researchers and administrators had been aware of the inadequacy of the response to drinking problems for some time. However there had been no systematic examination of why such agents felt negatively about drinkers and disinclined to respond to them. Originally published in 1978 this book develops a radical new perspective on the prevalence and causes of drinking problems combining reviews of historical and contemporary literature with the authors’ own research studies. This perspective is then linked to the need for an integrated response from both medical and social services with a particular accent on the need for a community response. By focusing on the relationship between helper and helped a solution is sought to the question which has troubled the field for many years: why are agents like family doctors and social workers so inadequate in recognising and responding to people with drinking problems? The crucial aspects within the therapeutic relationship are pinpointed and experimental studies are described which show how training casework supervision and the redeployment of expertise can help improve recognition rates and responses to individual drinkers. This book thus expresses the need for major changes both in our attitudes and understanding of people with drinking problems and the difficulties of agents who try to help them. It should still be of historical interest to social scientists and those involved in helping people with drinking problems. | Responding to Drinking Problems

Alcohol Problems and Alcohol Control in Europe

Alcohol Problems and Alcohol Control in Europe

The nature of alcohol problems is very diverse and the strategies adopted for minimising these vary even more. Thinking in the study of alcohol problems in the 1970s and early 1980s had focused on the public health perspective seeking not only to lessen alcohol problems by controlling the availability of alcohol but also to promote moderate drinking practices and to preserve the positive advantages of alcohol use. Originally published in 1983 a detailed review of public health issues in this field at the time opens the book. This is followed by an examination of alcohol-related problems and policies for their control in sixteen different European countries. The chapters on individual countries provide a source of information and data on alcohol policies consumption and problems with which it is possible to examine from a cross-cultural and comparative basis the claims of a public health perspective. The final chapter draws together the cross-national data and discusses their implications for a public health response to alcohol problems. This book should now be a historical reference source for all interested in health policy in general and alcohol problems in particular. | Alcohol Problems and Alcohol Control in Europe
