Abstract

Draws on hundreds of case studies to provide a step by step guide to spot workaholism, understand it, and recover Americans love a hard worker. The worker who toils eighteen-hour days and eats meals on the run between appointments is usually viewed with a combination of respect and awe. But for many, this lifestyle leads to family problems, a decline in work productivity, and ultimately to physical and mental collapse. Intended for anyone touched by what Robinson calls “the best-dressed problem of the twenty-first century,” Chained to the Desk provides an inside look at workaholism’s impact on those who live and work with work addicts—partners, spouses, children, and colleagues—as well as the appropriate techniques for clinicians who treat them. Originally published in 1998, this groundbreaking book from best-selling author and widely respected family therapist Bryan E. Robinson was the first comprehensive portrait of the workaholic. In this new and fully updated third edition, Robinson draws on hundreds of case reports from his own original research and years of clinical practice. The agonies of workaholism have grown all the more challenging in a world where the computer, cell phone, and iPhone allow twenty-four-hour access to the office, even on weekends and from vacation spots. Adult children of workaholics describe their childhood pain and the lifelong legacies they still carry, and the spouses or partners of workaholics reveal the isolation and loneliness of their vacant relationships. Employers and business colleagues discuss the cost to the company when workaholism dominates the workplace. Chained to the Desk both counsels and consoles. It provides a step-by-step guide to help readers spot workaholism, understand it, and recover.

Abstract

"Surgery Junkies is an innovative, fast-paced mix of theory and empirical research that advances our understanding of contemporary bodies, lifestyle medicine, and the making of the embodied, self-fashioned self. Scholars and teachers of cultural and media studies, sociology of the body, and health and society will value its contributions to both their research and their teaching."-Arthur W. Frank, author of The Wounded Storyteller: Body, Illness, and Ethics and The Renewal of Generosity: Illness, Medicine, and How to Live "Whether analyzing Extreme Makeover, 'Body Dismorphic Disorder,' or her own rhinoplasty, Pitts-Taylor makes difficult theoretical concepts clear-and clearly relevant to our lives."-Susan Bordo, author of Unbearable Weight: Feminism, Western Culture, and the Body Despite the increasing prevalence of cosmetic surgery, there are still those who identify individuals who opt for bodily modifications as dupes of beauty culture, as being in conflict with feminist ideals, or as having some form of psychological weakness. In this ground-breaking book, Victoria Pitts-Taylor examines why we consider some cosmetic surgeries to be acceptable or even beneficial and others to be unacceptable and possibly harmful. Drawing on years of research, in-depth interviews with surgeons and psychiatrists, analysis of newspaper articles, legal documents, and television shows, and her own personal experience with cosmetic surgery, Pitts-Taylor brings new perspectives to the promotion of "extreme" makeovers on television, the medicalization of "surgery addiction," the moral and political interrogation that many patients face, and feminist debates on the topic. Pitts-Taylor makes a compelling argument that the experience, meanings, and motivations for cosmetic surgery are highly social and, in doing so, provides a much needed "makeover" of our cultural understanding of cosmetic surgery. Victoria Pitts-Taylor is associate professor of sociology at Queens College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York. She is the author of In the Flesh: The Cultural Politics of Body Modification.

Abstract

Farmacotherapie bij verslaving is het eerste Nederlandstalige handboek over de farmacologische behandeling van verslaving. Het boek completeert de kennis uit Molemans praktische psychofarmacologie, verschenen in 2015. Die uitgave is uitgegroeid tot een veelgebruikt leerboek en referentiewerk ten aanzien van farmacologie in de psychiatrie. De huidige stand van zaken over farmacotherapie bij verslaving in combinatie met psychiatrische ziektebeelden wordt hierin echter niet uitgebreid belicht. Onderzoek naar de farmacologische behandeling van verslaving heeft de laatste jaren een grote vlucht genomen. De redactie van Farmacotherapie bij verslaving heeft de handschoen opgepakt om deze lacune te vullen.Farmacotherapie bij verslaving vormt een helder en praktijkgericht naslagwerk gebaseerd op de meest recente wetenschappelijke onderzoeken en ontwikkelingen. Meer dan 20 Nederlandse en Vlaamse deskundigen schrijven vanuit hun expertise over de laatste ontwikkelingen in de medicamenteuze behandeling van verslaving. Epidemiologie, crisisinterventie, terugvalpreventie, schadebeperking, palliatieve zorg, medicamenteuze interventies bij dubbele diagnose en bijzondere patiëntengroepen komen in nagenoeg elk hoofdstuk aan bod.Farmacotherapie bij verslaving maakt een praktische vertaalslag van actuele wetenschappelijke inzichten naar uw dagelijkse praktijk. Theorie staat in dienst van de praktijk, waardoor het handboek een waardevolle aanvulling vormt op de richtlijnen. Het is een aanrader voor psychiaters, verpleegkundig specialisten, verslavingsartsen, specialisten ouderengeneeskunde, apothekers, huisartsen en alle andere voorschrijvers van psychofarmaca die regelmatig met de verslaafde patiënt in aanraking komen.https://shop.acco.be/nl-be/items/9789085621607/Farmacotherapie-bij-verslaving

Abstract

"Technological Addictions is the first guide designed to provide insight and strategies to clinicians, patients, and families grappling with the collateral damage of technology's pervasiveness and pull. Mental health professionals are beginning to understand that video games, online pornography, internet gaming, internet gambling, and other technological pastimes can be every bit as addictive as substances such as alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs. Editor Petros Levounis is among the foremost experts on addiction and, together with coeditor James Sherer and a roster of prominent contributors, has created a groundbreaking book that emphasizes the lived reality of the people who struggle with these addictions every day. In 10 rigorous yet down-to-earth chapters, the book explores the psychological and cultural context of each technology and related behavior, from social media to cybersex, and examines thoroughly the difference between healthy engagement with technology and addiction. This discussion premised on the understanding that technology should not be rolled back or restricted but is an increasingly beneficial and even necessary part of modern life. Two chapters specifically focus on the way technology addictions impact particular populations, such as children and adolescents and older adults. Addiction to technology does not discriminate; no preexisting psychological or physical conditions are required, and everyone is susceptible. Technological Addictions provides guidance found nowhere else, guidance that both clinicians and laypeople will find useful and compelling"--
