Donne e depressione. I perché di una sindrome al femminile
Roberto Infrasca
editore: Mondadori Bruno
pagine: 189
Depressione, ovvero una patologia declinata al femminile. È quanto rivelano gli studi epidemiologici, che mostrano come la percentuale di donne affette da depressione sia circa il doppio rispetto agli uomini. Per comprendere la ragione di questo divario, Infrasca analizza il percorso evolutivo delle donne depresse confrontandolo con quello di uomini depressi e di donne non affette da tale disturbo. Si scopre che, nella loro infanzia, le donne depresse sono maggiormente sottoposte a relazioni conflittuali con le figure genitoriali e con l'ambiente e sono più vulnerabili allo stress e alle avversità, a causa di una fragilità temperamentale che ostacola l'instaurarsi di una fiducia di base sulla quale poter organizzare un'identità ragionevolmente solida e sicura.
Disturbi psichici e patologie fisiche. Problemi psicologici in medicina
Ferdinando Pellegrino
editore: Mediserve
pagine: 87
Il volume è una guida aperta al confronto e tesa a stimolare ricerche future. Si affronta il problema relativo all'importanza di formulare un approccio in medicina di tipo olistico, centrato sul paziente e sulla sua storia. Ogni malattia ha vissuti soggettivi che non possono essere ignorati, così come non può essere ignorata la comorbidità psichiatrica in quanto l'ansia, la somatizzazione e la depressione - come altre patologie psichiatriche pervadono la pratica clinica condizionando l'evoluzione di qualsiasi malattia. Si avverte sempre di più una nuova esigenza: patologie emergenti come la sindrome metabolica, testimoniano come nessuna terapia può essere prescritta con efficacia se non si conosce il profilo di personalità del paziente, il suo stile di vita, le sue modalità di reazione agli eventi della vita. Una migliore conoscenza della psicologia medica e delle tecniche di comunicazione può rappresentare per il medico un valore aggiunto che consente una gestione ottimale della relazione con il paziente; l'agire del medico risponde, infatti, a esigenze cliniche, psicologiche ma anche normative, soprattutto oggi che il dibattito è aperto su questioni delicate, come il testamento biologico, che vedono sempre più valorizzata l'autodeterminazione del paziente. Uno spazio specifico è dedicato al problema della somatizzazione; in una società in cui i livelli di ansia sono sempre più elevati l'espressività somatica del disagio psichico è più manifesta rispetto al passato.

Psychoeducation Manual for Bipolar Disorder
Eduard Vieta , Francesc Colom
editore: Cambridge
pagine: 240
Although the mainstay of bipolar therapy is drug treatment, psychoeducation is a technique that has proven to be very effective as an add-on to medication, helping to reduce the number of all types of bipolar recurrences and hospitalisation. The object is to improve patients' understanding of the disorder and therefore their adherence to pharmacotherapy. Based on the highly successful, evidence-based Barcelona program, this book is a pragmatic, therapists' guide for how to implement psychoeducation for bipolar patients. It gives practical guidance for how to conduct a psychoeducation group, using sessions and cases drawn from the Barcelona Psychoeducation Program. Moreover, it provides the reader with a great amount of practical tips and tricks and specific techniques to maximize the benefits of bipolar psychoeducation. The authors formed the first group to show the efficacy of psychoeducation as a maintenance treatment and have a long history of performing bipolar psychoeducation.

Schizophrenia
Peter B. Jones , Peter F. Buckley
editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 128
Schizophrenia is a debilitating and serious medical illness that has a profound effect on the patient's life, as well as the lives of their immediate family, friends and carers. The symptoms and course of the illness vary considerably between individuals, making diagnosis and subsequent management a complex task for the clinician. Extensive research into the causes of schizophrenia and its treatment outcomes has resulted in a rapid pace of knowledge growth. Consequently, advances in treatment options and management of the condition have been substantial in recent years.This book, jointly written by two experienced researchers and clinicians, aims to bring together all the latest research and current best practice in one easy-reference handbook for the busy clinician. The book is written concisely, with accompanying full-color illustrations to help explain more difficult concepts. Case studies enable the reader to explore real-life patients and review their care plans with commentary from the authors. Finally, an excellent reference list allows the interested reader to gather further information on specific topics for themselves.
The book is full of new information and clinical pearls, written in a condensed, pocket-book format. This new book will be a valuable resource for the clinician and encourage a better understanding and appropriate management of schizophrenia patients.
Melancholia
The Diagnosis, Pathophysiology and Treatment of Depressive Illness
Max Fink , Michael Alan Taylor
editore: Cambridge
pagine: 560
This book provides a comprehensive review of melancholia as a severe disorder of mood, associated with suicide, psychosis, and catatonia. The syndrome is defined with a clear diagnosis, prognosis, and range of management strategies, differentiated from other similar psychiatric, neurological, and general medical conditions. It challenges accepted doctrines in the classification and biology of the mood disorders and defines melancholia as a treatable mental illness. Described for millennia in medical texts and used as a term in literature and poetry, melancholia was included within early versions of the major diagnostic classificatory systems, but lost favour in later editions. This book updates the arguments for the diagnosis, describes its characteristics in detail, and promotes treatment and prevention. The book offers great hope to those with a disorder too often mis-diagnosed and often fatal. It should be read by all those responsible for the management of patients with mood disorders.
American Psychiatric Association Practice Guidelines for the Treatment of Psychiatric Disorders
Compendium
American Psychiatric Association
editore: American Psychiatric Press Inc.
pagine: 1612
American Psychiatric Association (APA) Practice Guidelines provide recommendations to help psychiatrists make treatment decisions that are supported by the best available evidence, including from current research and expert consensus. The guidelines are developed by expert work groups, who review available evidence using an explicit methodology. Iterative drafts undergo wide review by other experts, allied organizations, and the APA membership. Every guideline is also reviewed and approved for publication by the APA Assembly and Board of Trustees. This process balances the conclusions of scientific research with the practical experience of professionals working in the field. In addition to providing recommendations that may improve patient care, the guidelines may be used for education by medical students and residents, psychiatrists seeking recertification, other mental health professionals, and the general public. Researchers may use the guidelines to identify important clinical questions for which more research could be expected to improve treatment decision making.
The thirteen Practice Guidelines are -Psychiatric Evaluation of Adults, Second Edition -Delirium -Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias of Late Life -HIV/AIDS -Substance Use Disorders, Second Edition -Schizophrenia, Second Edition -Major Depressive Disorder, Second Edition -Bipolar Disorder, Second Edition -Panic Disorder -Acute Stress Disorder and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder -Eating Disorders, Third Edition -Borderline Personality Disorder -Suicidal Behaviors These guidelines help you -Understand clinical features and symptoms -Make a confident differential diagnosis -Evaluate interventions commonly used to treat specific disorders -Select the appropriate site of service -Educate the patient and family -Assess the efficacy and risks of available medications -Develop an individualized treatment plan Interactive continuing medical education programs for many of the individual practice guidelines are available on the APA's web site (www.psych.org/cme). Each program offers AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsA that are accepted by the APA and the American Medical Association.
The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) has reviewed the APA Practice Guidelines CME Program and has approved it as part of a comprehensive lifelong learning program, which is mandated by the American Board of Medical Specialties as a necessary component of maintenance of certification.

editore: Guilford Publications
pagine: 194
This important volume brings together leading child psychiatry researchers to critically review the current diagnostic system and work toward new, more clinically useful ways of understanding childhood problems. The authors examine how existing diagnostic categories as embodied in the DSM-IV fail to adequately take into account the interplay among maladaptive behavior and children's environmental contexts, relationships, and developmental needs. Drawing on the latest findings from neurobiological and evolutionary research, the book offers fresh perspectives on the nature, causes, assessment, and treatment of a range of prevalent disorders. The concluding chapter offers specific, cogent suggestions for improving the forthcoming DSM-V.

editore: Cambridge
pagine: 290
Mood and anxiety disorders in women represent an increasingly important area of research and treatment development. The authors take a broad biopsychosocial and developmental approach to the issues, beginning with anxiety disorders in adolescence and progressing through the life phases of women to menopause and old age. All the disorders are covered, from anxiety and borderline personality disorder to stress and late-life depression. Particular attention is paid to questions of vulnerability; epidemiological and clinical evidence showing gender differences in such disorders; aetiological explanations in terms of biological (including hormonal) as well as psychosocial parameters, and treatment implications.

Although there are many books that consider aspects of schizophrenia such as research or clinical care, now there is a single resource that puts the many facets of this widely misunderstood disorder in perspective. The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Schizophrenia offers broad coverage that encompasses the current state of knowledge the cause, nature, and treatment of schizophrenia. Experts in a wide range of disciplines from North America and Europe have contributed chapters that address the complexity of schizophrenia in a comprehensive volume on this singularly perplexing mental illness. No disorder is more challenging to psychiatrists and mental health care providers than schizophrenia, a condition that robs people of their personality and intellect and leaves them permanently disabled. This book leads readers through the maze of questions surrounding the disorder, from historical overview and epidemiology to consideration of comorbid conditions.
It covers both genetic and environmental causes, describes all of the leading theories of schizophreniaAneurodevelopmental, neurochemical, phospholipid, and neuroprogressiveAand explores the involvement of abnormal brain circuitry and the results of the latest neuroimaging studies. For practicing clinicians, the topics covered represent the most essential, timely, and informative insights for treating this most prototypic of mental illnesses: -Approaching cognitive impairment as a potential psychopharmacological target for treatment, plus treatment strategies for improving functioning in individuals with social or vocational impairment. -An overview of selected antipsychotic drugsAincluding common side effectsAas well as antianxiety/hypnotics, antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and dopamine agonists. -A review of current proven psychosocial interventions designed to augment and complement drug therapy, highlighting the trend toward optimizing patient preference in the choice of treatment modality. -Keys to early identification of individuals vulnerable to psychoses and to assessing the potential for intervention with the promise of treatment earlier in life.
-Optimal treatment approaches for first episodesAincluding individual, group, and family therapiesAto increase the likelihood of full recovery. -Special considerations for treatment of chronic schizophrenia, addressing frequently asked questions faced by psychiatrists in their daily encounters with patients. While its causes and cure remain elusive, schizophrenia can be better understood with the help of the authoritative knowledge collected in these pages. Squarely confronting a disease that has long afflicted and baffled human society, this textbook will serve as a dependable source of knowledge for a generation of students, scientists, and clinicians to come.

editore: Giovanni Fioriti Editore
pagine: 45
Ogni bimbo e ogni adolescente è un puzzle da mille pezzi, e ogni pezzo una parte di sé, un'idea, un'emozione, un comportamento, una fantasia, un tratto del suo ambiente; ogni pezzo deve acquisire un senso, in quanto ciascuno senza l'altro è una forma senza contenuto. Questo libro vuole essere un tentativo di raccogliere le informazioni di cui attualmente siamo in possesso sul disturbo bipolare nei bambini e negli adolescenti. Una patologia in Italia poco conosciuta fino a partire dagli anni '90, quando si è assistito a un proliferare di studi sulle sue manifestazioni, sul suo decorso, sulla sua terapia e sulle sue conseguenze sulle vite dei giovani pazienti e dei loro genitori. Gli autori Morena Tafuro, Mauro Ferrara, Teresa Jole Carratelli operano presso il Dipartimento di Scienze Neurologiche, Psichiatriche e Riabilitative dell'Età Evolutiva, Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza", Azienda Universitaria Policlinico Umberto I°. Il volume si rivolge a tutti coloro che vogliono conoscere questa malattia e sapere come affrontarla.
