In diesem Buch finden Sie realistischen Erfahrungsbeispiele von Menschen, die mit Schizophrenie leben und von deren Familienangehörigen, die damit konfrontiert sind. Und zwar von der Erkennung der ersten Symptome bis zur Behandlung von Schizophrenie, die eine Form der Psychose ist und bei der subjektive Aspekte, wie Halluzinationen und Wahnvorstellungen, das Verständnis der Realität verzerren.Auch finden Sie darin Strategien zur Bewältigung. Und da psychotische Zustände im Laufe der Zeit in ihrer Intensität schwanken, leben die Betroffenen buchstäblich zwischen Vernunft und Illusion.Zwischen Vernunft und Illusion: Entmystifizierung der Schizophrenie ist eine Einladung zu verstehen, was es bedeutet, an Schizophrenie zu erkranken und ein Leben lang damit zu leben. Und dies ist eine Einladung an alle, die in irgendeiner Weise von dieser Krankheit betroffen sind: diejenigen, die damit leben, Familienmitglieder, Freunde, Gesundheitsfachleute und alle, die einen nicht stigmatisierten Blick auf psychische Störungen und Menschen, die damit leben, haben wollen. "Angesichts einer Psychose sind Betroffene und deren Familien verloren und suchen nach alternativer oder spiritueller Hilfe, was den Beginn der Behandlung meist verzögert. Jorge, Cecília und Rodrigo hatten den Mut, sich einem schwierigen Thema zu stellen, und die wunderbare Idee, ein aufklärendes Buch über Schizophrenie zu schreiben. Das besondere Merkmal des Buches liegt darin, dass es die Erfahrungen der Erkrankten sowie der Familienangehörigen berücksichtigt und angesichts des aktuell im Leben aufgetretenen Erkrankungsereignisses geschrieben wurde". - Dr. Itiro Shirakawa, emeritierter Professor der Paulista Medical School der Bundesuniversität von São Paulo (UNIFESP/EPM), Brasilien.

Handedness is a multidimensional phenomenon co-determined by polygenetic and developmental aspects, multifactorial influences and in some cases, pathological impact. It is important for professionals working with children, including those who are still undecided about their writing hand, to assess, analyse and understand the complexity of handedness comprehensively to prevent problems related to switched or atypical handedness. Beyond Left and Right Handedness uses a practice-based approach to handedness and systematically integrates theory, research and practice. Part I, ¿Theory and Research,¿ critically evaluates and utilises the broad spectrum of the handedness literature as a theoretical basis for the development of handedness instruments. Part II, ¿Assessment and Analysis,¿ presents diagnostic and analytical instruments developed by the author based on numerous in-depth studies and extensive clinical practice over 20 years. These include the Handedness Profile, astandardised assessment of various handedness dimensions; and the Handedness Typology, an analytical framework to interpret different types of handedness. Part III, ¿Implications for Practice,¿ contains detailed case studies on assessment and treatment by professionals working with children presenting with unclear and/or atypical handedness. ¿This book provides the reader with a comprehensive and scholarly discussion of the topic, presenting a careful, in-depth description of all aspects of the topic and providing professionals with the necessary, evidence-based tools to address handedness in practice. It is an invaluable resource that is well situated in the latest evidence-based understanding of handedness and provides a comprehensive guide to addressing the important development of handedness.¿ - Prof. Dr. Helen Polatajko

Healthcare is shifting towards a holistic, whole person approach to improve population health, decrease cost of care, and improve patient, and provider experiences. To achieve this, the primary care sector is adopting an integrated, interprofessional care team model which addresses both biomedical and behavioral health, and includes preventative care, population health management, technology, and innovative strategies to increase access to care. Occupational therapy (OT) is uniquely positioned to add their distinct whole person mental/behavioral health and medical care scope and skill to these teams to address patient needs. As this is an emerging practice area for OT, and no guidelines specific to primary care exist, this book will be a first of its kind text for occupational therapy practitioners (OTP) in primary care settings. As OTPs work with habits, roles, and routines that affect health, OT in primary care promotes health and improves patient self-managementof medical conditions and lifestyles, reducing patient dependence on costly health care services. This timely clinical manual guides best practices for primary care OT. It helps OTPs fit into the quick paced primary care practice model. In traditional OT settings, intervention sessions are longer, and focus on acute rehabilitation or mental/behavioral health conditions. In primary care, visits are brief, and address patient needs in the context of their presenting issue. No other published guide meets the unique needs of this emerging practice area. Authors provide administrative information specific to OT in primary care, and interventions for specific health conditions, including chronic conditions, common to this setting. Written by experts in the field, Primary Care Occupational Therapy is the definitive resource for all primary care OTPs or those interested in lifestyle-based interventions for conditions frequently seen in primary care. It is also a useful guide for behavioral health care providers and administrators of general medical practices.

Wissende Eltern können mit Verständnis darauf reagieren, nehmen dadurch sehr viel Dramatik aus den Situationen und schaffen so bei ihren Lieben bereits früh ein Umfeld von heilendem Vertrauen.
