Clinician's Guide to Headache: Head, Neck and Face Pain Syndromes is a comprehensive reference that covers what headache specialists encounter in day-to-day headache practice settings. This practical volume is relevant as a primary reference for neurologists and other headache specialists looking for a resource on complex, acute headache management. Developments in the field are highlighted, including biologics and invasive and non-invasive neuromodulation. Chapters focus on anatomy and pathophysiology, neuroradiology, acute and chronic headaches, and clinically relevant sections on diagnosis and biases, consultation settings, placebos and nocebos, as well as the set-up of a comprehensive headache center. With a foundation based on recent developments in pathophysiology and anatomy, this volume provides an overview of headache disorders with a case-based approach.

TERAPIA COGNITIVO-COMPORTAMENTALE (CBT), PER RIDURRE LO STRESS E L'ANSIA, SUPERARE LA DEPRESSIONE E MIGLIORARE LA VITA!Che cos'è esattamente la terapia cognitivo-comportamentale? Come funziona? Quando si usa? Come si fa a sapere se è il trattamento giusto per voi o per qualcun altro? La terapia cognitivo-comportamentale si basa sul presupposto che possiamo risolvere i problemi trattando i pensieri negativi della persona e trattando i suoi modelli di comportamento (cambiamento comportamentale). L'obiettivo della terapia cognitivo-comportamentale è rintracciare i pensieri e i comportamenti che fanno sì che la persona eviti o si blocchi in uno stato di ansia, soffra di ossessioni, e sostituire questi pensieri e comportamenti con azioni sane e produttive. In questo modo la persona prospererà e migliorerà drasticamente i suoi sentimenti di ansia.ECCO COSA TROVERETE ALL'INTERNO di questa opera: imparare come aiutare i vostri amici o familiari affetti da depressione e ritrovare la loro felicità SCOPRIRE I SINTOMI DELLA DEPRESSIONE, O PRE-SINTOMI, E COME CURARLI. Tecniche PER DORMIRE MEGLIO E CURARE L'INSONNIA Scoprire il metodo definitivo per migliorare l'umore e ridurre l'ansia Costruire un rapporto migliore con se stessi Sfidare i pensieri negativi e non utili Costruire un rapporto migliore con se stessi interrompere le cattive abitudini e godersi la vita!

The concept of affordances is being increasingly used in fields beyond ecological psychology to reveal previously unexplored interdisciplinary relationships. These fields include engineering, robotics, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, urban theory, architecture, computer science, and much more. As the concept is adapted for its relational meaning between an agent and the environment, or object, the meaning of the term has changed to fit the customs of the adapting field. This book maps the different shades of the term and brings insights into how it is operationalized by providing short accessible essays regardless of background. Each contribution addresses big questions around this topic such as the application of the concept on ongoing research, how to measure or identify affordances, as well as other reflective questions about the future of affordances in the field.   The book is envisioned to be read by non-experts, students, and researchers from several disciplines, and fills the need for summarization across disciplines. As the many adaptations flourished from the same psychological concept, this book also aims to function as a catalyst and motivation for reinterpreting the concepts for new directions. Compared to existing books, this book aims not to span the vertical dimension of field by taking a deep dive into a niche-field-instead, this book aims to have a wide horizontal span highlighting a common concept shared by an increasing number of fields, namely affordances. As such, this book takes a different approach by attempting to summarize the different emerging applications and definitions of the concept, and make them accessible to non-experts, students, and researchers regardless of background and level.

This book aims to present theoretical and practical innovations in the cognitive sciences and education fields focusing on studies and research conducted with non-WEIRD (i.e., western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic) populations, especially from Latin America. Cognitive sciences and neuroscience have increased exponentially their knowledge in the last three decades, and today there is a corpus of knowledge about our central nervous system and its functioning that (adequately understood) has promising contributions for the educational field. Most of this knowledge, however, comes from central countries (North America, Europe) and is based on studies conducted on what has been called WEIRD populations. Much less is known about how the integration of cognitive sciences and neuroscience could impact education in non-WEIRD populations, which represent the great majority of the world's population and have quite diverse cultural and social characteristics. So, the main aim of this book is to present a non-WEIRD scientific approach to problems in the cognitive sciences, neuroscience and education fields.Research presented in this contributed volume takes advantage of the diverse populations that characterize developing countries to explore how underrepresented populations learn, what works and what does not for cognitive science and education not only for the developing world, but also for understanding diversity in the whole world. Departing from this focus on diversity, chapters in this book present studies on theories, beliefs and misconceptions about the relationship between cognitive sciences and education; child and adolescent cognitive development; mathematics and language academic performance; and cognitive interventions to improve educational practice. Cognitive Sciences and Education in Non-WEIRD Populations: A Latin American Perspective will be a useful resource for both cognitive scientists and educational researchers interested in developing a more culturally sensitive approach to basic and applied research on cognitive sciences of education.
