Borderline Personality Disorder : A Practical Guide to Treatment
ISBN: 9780198520672 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Borderline personality disorder is a multidimensional disorder best considered as severe personality dysfunction. Around 2% of the population are thought to meet the criteria for the disorder, with approximately 1 in 10,000 people experiencing the most severe difficulties. This group places a disproportionate burden on mental health services. Once seen as 'untreatable, ' patients with borderline personality disorder are all too often mistreated and misdiagnosed, resulting in prolonged and unhelpful relationships with support services, and taxing patients and clinicians alike. Borderline...

Understanding and Treating Fear of Pain
ISBN: 9780198525141 / Angielski / Twarda / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. People who suffer from chronic pain are typically found to be more anxious and fearful of pain than those who do not. Recent evidence has shown that the pain itself serves as a mechanism through which chronic pain is maintained over time. Even once the muscle or tissue damage is healed, a fear of further pain can lead to avoidance behavior, which over time, leads to deconditioning (e.g. decreased mobility, weight gain). This in turn leads to further pain experiences, negative expectancies, and strengthened avoidance. It is the reciprocal relationship between fear and avoidance that is thought...

Community Mental Health Teams (CMHTs) have evolved over the past 30-40 years to serve patients with mental illnesses who would previously have been treated in large mental hospitals.

Body-Subjects and Disordered Minds: Treating the 'Whole' Person in Psychiatry
ISBN: 9780198566441 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How should we deal with mental disorder - as an "illness" like diabetes or bronchitis, as a "problem in living," or what? This book seeks to answer such questions by going to their roots, in philosophical questions about the nature of the human mind, the ways in which it can be understood, and about the nature and aims of scientific medicine. The controversy over the nature of mental disorder and the appropriateness of the "medical model" is not just an abstract theoretical debate: it has a bearing on very practical issues of appropriate treatment, as well as on psychiatric ethics and law. A...

ISBN: 9780199214853 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rationality and Compulsion presents a unique examination of mental illness - derived from philosophical action theory. Delusion is common to many mental disorders, resulting in actions that, though perhaps rational to the individual, might seem entirely inappropriate or harmful to others.

This book presents a new analysis of the notion of compulsion - developed from action theory. The books starts with an introduction to action theory (for...
