Abstract

Quatrième de couverture : "Depuis le début des années 2000, le monde des psys est en crise. D'un côté, la psychanalyse est contestée ou réduite à une référence ennuyeuse et répétitive. De l'autre, les thérapies comportementales et cognitives ont le vent en poupe. L'auteur montre qu'il faut se détourner des théories figées et s'intéresser aux mécanismes et aux objets qui proposent aux patients de nouvelles manières de vivre."

Abstract

The new edition is an authoritative, comprehensive, and evidence-based book that captures cutting-edge thinking on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, treatment, and management of mood disorders. The book reviews the latest research on the role of the immune system in mood disorders. In addition, epigenetics-which is proving useful in understanding depression and bipolar disorder-is explored, giving psychiatrists and other mental health care providers the knowledge, they need to stay abreast of advances.

Abstract

"The second edition of The American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Mood Disorders is a book for a new generation of clinicians, trainees, and educators. Much has changed in the field of mood disorders in the 16 years since the first edition, and this new edition ably covers these changes, introducing new chapters on the epigenetics of mood disorders; the role of the immune system in these disorders; the contribution of childhood maltreatment to mood disorder risk, illness course, and treatment response; the management of treatment-resistant depression; and the emergence of promising investigational agents (most notably, ketamine and its relatives) with novel mechanisms of action in depression. Under new editorial direction and with a revised roster of expert contributors, The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Mood Disorders, Second Edition, provides an authoritative, comprehensive, and evidence-based synthesis of current knowledge in the multifaceted field of mood disorders"--

Abstract

Quatrième de couverture : "Les personnes n'ont souvent que peu ou pas de possibilités de s'exprimer. Toutefois, lorsque les mots ne sont plus présents, il demeure possible d'entrer en relation par la communication non verbale. La psychomotricité peut alors s'avérer un excellent recours pour recréer le lien entre la psyché et le soma. Dans cet ouvrage, c'est la pratique du toucher thérapeutique qui est abordée. Par ses diverses propriétés et son approche globale, elle permet de soutenir l'enveloppe psychocorporelle du sujet âgé. Si le toucher auprès de la population vieilissante est souvent mis à l'écart dans notre société, il demeure une médiation très riche pour le psychomotricien. À partir d'observations cliniques très fines auprès de patients dans un établissement d'hébergement pour personnes âgées dépendantes (EPHAD), l'auteur s'interroge sur les médiations psychocorporelles qu'elle peut proposer pour soulager les souffrances physiques et psychiques de ces personnes."

Abstract

Psychosurgery, or the surgical treatment of mental disorders, has enjoyed a spectacular revival over the past ten years as new brain stimulation techniques have become available. Neuromodulation offers new possibilities for the treatment of psychiatric disorders such as depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), addiction, eating disorders and autism. This work presents the history of this unique specialty and investigates current techniques and ethical challenges. With a wealth of illustrations and detailed anatomical diagrams, it provides essential information for medical practitioners, as well as anyone else interested in the fascinating advances being made in neuroscience today. « I like the book as it provides a very nice overview of psycho- surgery in general. It is easy to understand for any (para)medical practitioner, but even specialists in the field may learn new things. They may also enjoy looking the well-known and less-known figures which illustrate the book. » Professor Bart Nuttin « Reading this book is like reading an anthology, or rather an encyclopaedia of the field of psychiatric surgery, spanning more than a century. This is a work with an unprecedented degree of erudition and knowledge, and the subject is presented in a didactic, scholar, and scientific manner, and is extensively referenced and illustrated. If only one book is to be read by anybody interested in this field, regardless of specialty, this is The Book to read. » Professor Marwan Hariz.

Abstract

Extensively updated since its second edition in 1985, Chemotherapy in Psychiatry, Third Edition, again addresses basic aspects of modern psychopharmacology and clinical applications of drugs used in the treatment of major psychiatric disorders, with major emphasis on psychotic, bipolar, and depressive disorders. The presentation covers descriptions of the main classes of psychotropic drugs, selected information concerning their known action mechanisms and metabolic disposition, and their clinical applications for acute illnesses and to prevent recurrences and long-term morbidity. Also covered are limitations and adverse effects of each type of agent, with emphasis on the fact that all psychotropic medicines have adverse effects that range from annoying to potentially lethal. Chemotherapy in Psychiatry, Third Edition, outlines the need to balance benefits and risks at the level of individual persons. Authoritative, and an important contribution to the literature, Chemotherapy in Psychiatry, Third Edition is an invaluable resource for physicians, scientists, trainees, and policymakers.

Abstract

The study of drug effects on behavior is truly a confluence of streams of neuroscience research. The material in this volume covers a broad range of methodology representative of practically the entire scope of psychopharmacology for conscious animals. The contributions in this book represent careful evaluations by experts who were invited to participate because of their excellent practical application of research design and methodology. In each case, a particularly useful and well-written contribution has been forthcoming, and should serve either as a valuable introduction to developing researchers or as a practical reference to those active in the field. The material is arranged in an intuitive hierarchy. This arrangement is based on what are ostensibly increasing levels of integrated activity of the nervous system and, therefore, increasing levels of behavioral integration. Nevertheless, as all of the areas covered are rather detailed in their levels of intrinsic complexity, this arrangement of chapters does not imply successively more intricate problems. The reader will find some overlap between chapters, but little interdependence, i.e., each may be read as a separate or as an integral part of the volume.

Abstract

The fact that tobacco ingestion can affect how people feel and think has been known for millennia, placing the plant among those used spiritually, honori?cally, and habitually (Corti 1931; Wilbert 1987). However, the conclusion that nicotine - counted for many of these psychopharmacological effects did not emerge until the nineteenth century (Langley 1905). This was elegantly described by Lewin in 1931 as follows: “The decisive factor in the effects of tobacco, desired or undesired, is nicotine. . . ”(Lewin 1998). The use of nicotine as a pharmacological probe to und- stand physiological functioning at the dawn of the twentieth century was a landmark in the birth of modern neuropharmacology (Limbird 2004; Halliwell 2007), and led the pioneering researcher John Langley to conclude that there must exist some “- ceptive substance” to explain the diverse actions of various substances, including nicotine, when applied to muscle tissue (Langley 1905). Research on tobacco and nicotine progressed throughout the twentieth century, but much of this was from a general pharmacological and toxicological rather than a psychopharmacological perspective (Larson et al. 1961). There was some attention to the effects related to addiction, such as euphoria (Johnston 1941), tolerance (Lewin 1931), and withdrawal (Finnegan et al. 1945), but outside of research supported by the tobacco industry, addiction and psychopharmacology were not major foci for research (Slade et al. 1995; Hurt and Robertson 1998; Henning?eld et al. 2006; Henning?eld and Hartel 1999; Larson et al. 1961).
