Questo volume è rivolto agli psicologi che si occupano di persone con sclerosi multipla e si propone di fornire loro un aggiornamento sulle problematiche psicologiche e relazionali legate alla malattia, basato sul concetto dell’evidence-based practice. Gli argomenti trattati includono alcuni concetti di base relativi a questa patologia, gli aspetti psicologici, emotivi e cognitivi legati alla sua diagnosi, terapia e decorso, la gestione delle relazioni familiari e la riabilitazione. Per consentire al lettore di avere un panorama completo, la trattazione prende in considerazione sia gli aspetti teorici che pratici. Il libro nasce da una proposta dell’Associazione Italiana Sclerosi Multipla (AISM), promotrice del progetto Rete Psicologi che opera sul territorio a sostegno di pazienti e famiglie.

The volume gives a substantial contribution to the understanding of adolescent risk behaviors, informative and useful for both scientist and practitioner. The chapters deal with each of the key risk behaviors that are of concern at this developmental stage: tobacco smoking, alcohol use, marijuana and other drugs use, precocious and unprotected sexual behavior, eating disorders, risky behaviors, risky driving, deviant and antisocial behavior. The book combines theoretical analysis and the result of a wide research project, where the multiple contexts in the ecology of daily adolescent life have been considered; the data are based on large normative samples and the presentation of findings is very accessible, relying throughout on graphic representation rather than statistical tables. The book describes the different risk behaviors, shows the linkages among them, explains the functions served by the various risk behaviors or the meanings they may have for the adolescent, examines how they vary with age, sex, and other demographic characteristics, demonstrates the influential role that the theoretical risk factors and protective factors play in adolescent risk behavior involvement. The research findings not only strengthen the theory, but they serve as an important guide to the design of intervention efforts to prevent or reduce adolescent involvement in risk behavior. The emphasis of the authors on the need to strengthen protective factors that can promote positive development, and on the need to provide opportunities for behaviors that can serve the same purposes as risk behaviors do, but without compromising health and development, is salutary. This is the key challenge for all western contemporary societies to accomplish.

"Vivre avec une maladie chronique, c'est comme naviguer sur un voilier et être prisonnier d'une absence totale de vent. Vous ne savez plus quoi faire, vous êtes obligé d'attendre et d'espérer, mais en même temps vous devez vous soucier de l'état de marche du bateau. Vivre avec une maladie chronique, c'est être enfermé dans un corps qui a sa propre vie dont on doit aussi s'occuper". (Passage extrait de l'avant-propos de J.-Ph. Assal) "Cet ouvrage, écrit par une universitaire spécialiste de la psychologie du développement, qui fait elle-même l'expérience douloureuse de la vie avec la maladie depuis de nombreuses années, n'appartient à aucune catégorie… Dans un format inédit, l'expérience intime et les connaissances cliniques et scientifiques de l'auteure se trouvent tricotées pour façonner des savoirs utiles à la vie et au soin". (Passage extrait de la préface d'I. Aujoulat)

Quatrième de couverture : "Lorsqu'un livre va à la rencontre de la condition humaine, quand un livre nous parle de nos forces et nos faiblesses, de ce que nous sommes vraiment, au-delà de nos apparences, de nos faux semblants, dans notre corps et notre maladie, alors c'est un grand livre. Sans vouloir donner la leçon ou faire la morale, sans fournir ni injonction ni bonnes pratiques, sans chercher à être un de ces nouveaux guides pratiques à la mode, par simple description, extrêmement fine et profondément enracinée dans l'expérience vécue et dans les théories et recherches en psychologie, l'auteur permet au malade, à son entourage et aux soignants, de mieux comprendre le vécu de la maladie chronique et ainsi de mieux vivre en sa compagnie quotidienne. Mais au-delà de ceux qui sont touchés de près par le sujet, un tel livre intéressera toute personne, et c'est chacun d'entre nous qui sait, qu'un jour, la maladie chronique peut devenir sa compagne de vie."
