Textbook care cd book

Adolescent Psychiatry is the first text-reference to provide such in-depth, comprehensive, and practical coverage of this specialist area. There are many questions pertinent to adolescence alone and these are highlighted throughout the book. Starting with the important aspects of normal development, the reader is then taken on to risk-behaviour and risk-taking, the special issues in adolescent psychiatry, how to assess the patient, clinical conditions, treatment, and finally the forensic and legal aspects of adolescent care and treatment. The authoritative editor group has brought together a high calibre team of contributors to produce the ultimate text, both for accessible clinical reference, and as a teaching tool. This book will prove invaluable to all general psychiatrists in dealing with their adolescent patients, to specialist child and adolescent psychiatrists, and all those involved in the care and treatment of adolescents with mental health problems.

This best-selling reference has been meticulously revised and updated to offer current, comprehensive guidance on the full range of medical problems, conditions, and diseases primary care physicians encounter every day in practice.

This text looks at family medicine, detailing the clinical management of the most important conditions seen in primary practice in a problem-based format. The two-colour format gives an accessibility to charts, tables, algorithms and the overall design. It includes a review of modern family theory in the age of managed care, presentation of family medicine as a process, and sections on sports medicine and geriatics. The first part of the book reviews the principles of family medicine, its history, traditions, and culture and lays the groundwork for management of illness in a social, community, and family context. The second applies these principles in caring for the family including common acute problems, chronic problems, and behavioural disorders.

This excellent text brings together information that students and professionals working in the wide variety of disciplines concerned with international health will find in no other single source. It synthesizes historical, cultural, environmental, economic, and political considerations to provide a comprehensive, global overview of the many factors that determine the health of individuals and populations. The major determinants of health status in all regions of the world are discussed, and interventions undertaken at community, national and international levels are described. Worldwide campaigns against major diseases such as smallpox, malaria and AIDS are examined for elements determining success and failure. International campaigns for primary health care, child survival, safe motherhood, diarrheal disease control, and childhood immunization are described and analyzed. Attention is also given to the interpretation of numerical data, to the impact of science and technology, to ethical and policy considerations, and to the organization and functions of national health services and multinational agencies. While the book began as a revision of Basch's widely read International Health (Oxford University Press, 1978), its scope expanded beyond the earlier volume to provide a much fuller picture of the field of international health.

Following publication of the first edition in 1993, the Oxford Textbook of Palliative Medicine rapidly established itself as the definitive textbook on the subject. Each edition has received widespread critical acclaim, and the book is used across the world by the wide range of health care professionals involved in the care of patients with a terminal illness, or chronic, progressive conditions. Existing readers who automatically turn to the textbook will welcome this updated edition of their familiar reference, while it will prove a fascinating read to a new generation of palliative care professionals. The rapid development of the specialty means the textbook is always thoroughly revised between editions, and the fourth edition is no exception. The original editors, Geoffrey Hanks and Nathan Cherny, are joined by four new editors who are leaders in the field and represent a more global editorial approach than ever before. The multi-disciplinary nature of palliative care is emphasized throughout, while an entire section looks at the individual professional roles that contribute to the best-quality palliative care. Ethical issues are explored, including topical chapters on the controversial issues of witholding and withdrawing life-sustaining therapy, and euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. Communication issues and the psychiatric, spiritual, and psychosocial issues so integral to modern palliative care are covered in depth. As palliative care has become an established and accepted specialty, there is the need for the evidence-base to match other areas of clinical medicine, and a section looks specifically at research in palliative care. The treatment of symptoms is comprehensively covered, with particular focus on the management of pain. Specific chapters are devoted to the role of palliative care in non-malignant diseases and conditions, while education and training are highlighted as critical to future best practice. The Oxford Textbook of Palliative Medicine has continually evolved, keeping pace with the changing face of palliative care, and this new edition ensures that it remains at the forefront of the specialty. No hospital, hospice, palliative care service, or medical library should be without a copy.

Since the previous edition of Ian McWhinney's text was published in 1989, family medicine has assumed an increasingly important role in the modern health care system. The growth of managed care in The United States and of similar movements in other countries has made it more important than ever to define and conceptualize the discipline and to synthesize its body of knowledge and skills. The author brings to this task a lifetime's experience in family practice and academic family medicine. The first edition was widely acclaimed for its originality, depth of analysis, and elegant style. The book has now been extensively revised, while retaining its original structure. The first ten chapters are devoted, as before, to a conceptualization and description of the field, Much new material has been added on the patient-centered clinical method, illness narratives, the biological basis of family medicine, health promotion, the concept of risk, and the contribution of evidence-based medicine. Chapter 9 now includes an authoritative review of evidence-based preventive strategies. The five clinical chapters exemplify the application of basic principles in practice. These have all been updated with the results of new research. The chapters on the practice of family medicine cover such topics as home care, records and practiced management. The revisions of these reflect many changes that have occurred since the first edition. A new chapter on alternative (complementary) medicine fills the need for reliable information on this topic.
