The Human Central Nervous System

R. Nieuwenhuys, J. Voogd, C. van Huijzen "The Human Central Nervous System"
Springer | 2007-12-04 | ISBN: 3540346848 | 970 pages | PDF | 64,5 MB


This book has become a classic in its field. The outstanding illustrative material still represents its main feature: 375 halftones and line drawings comprise a complete and convenient atlas for the interpretation of neuroimaging studies. Yet the text of this fourth edition has been thoroughly revised and expanded. Fifteen newly written chapters introduce illustrations of the gross anatomy, the blood supply and the microstructure of the central nervous system and deal with the development, topography and functional anatomy of the spinal cord, brain stem and cerebellum, diencephalons and telencephalon.

This new edition provides a clear and reliable guide to the structural and functional organization of the human central nervous system and its broad basis in descriptive and experimental neuroscience. Intended primarily for students of medicine and psychology at all levels, the book is also informative reading for practicing neurobiologists.

Reflecting the efforts of almost 50 expert contributors, this comprehensive reference provides a basis for conducting forensic mental health assessments consistent with the state of the field as it currently exists and the standard of care that is emerging.
This must-have resource contains coverage of:
*Mainstream topics such as civil commitment, termination of parental rights, and federal sentencing evaluations.
*Psycho-legal topics such as clergy and teacher sexual abuse, elder abuse, and end of life issues.
*The appropriate application of instruments frequently used in clinical psychology to address psycho-legal issues.
Ideal for forensic mental health professionals, civil and criminal attorneys, and advanced students, Forensic Psychology: Emerging Topics and Expanding Roles is the definitive comprehensive reference in the field.

"Alan Goldstein has his finger on the pulse of forensic psychology. He and his A-list contributors showcase a striking array of classic conundrums and budding courtroom controversies. Remarkably, their analysis is as deep as their coverage is broad. There are two or three works that simply have to be on the shelf of every forensic psychologist. This book is one of them."

Encyclopedia of Native American Healing

Encyclopedia of Native American Healing


From Library Journal
Lyon (social welfare, Univ. of Kansas) here offers an excellent overview of shamanic healing, a topic that has been largely ignored in the reference literature. How Native Americans used medicinal plants is not treated, but to compensate Lyon includes an ethnobotany bibliography with 44 citations. Alphabetically arranged entries include the tribal origin of the topic as well as a culture area, which is keyed to the 15 maps so that readers can identify the location of a tribe's territory. One notable omission from the Southeast map is the Seminoles, whom the text repeatedly locates in that culture area. Recommended for academic collections in anthropology or Native American studies.?John Burch, Cumberland Coll. Lib., Williamsburg, Ky.
Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

About the Author
William S. Lyon, Ph.D., is a research associate at the University of Kansas at Lawrence. For the past twenty-six years, Dr. Lyon's field research has concentrated on Native American shamanism and sacred ceremonies.

All About Fibromyalgia:A Guide for Patients and Their Family

All About Fibromyalgia:A Guide for Patients and Their Family


This year, six million Americans--most of them women--will go to their doctors, complaining of an illness they have no name for. The majority will be turned away or treated for depression; the few who persist will go to an average of four doctors before they receive the correct diagnosis: fibromyalgia. In their earlier Making Sense of Fibromyalgia, noted medical writer Janice Wallace and Dr. Daniel Wallace, a leading expert on this disorder, provided a comprehensive guide--for both patients and professionals--to this little known and poorly understood syndrome. Now, in All About Fibromyalgia, the Wallaces provide a thoroughly revised and updated version of that highly successful volume, incorporating a wealth of new information. This edition provides the current understanding of the disease as well as the latest drug treatments--all laid out in clear and accessible language. As in the previous volume, the authors provide a detailed, yet clear explanation of the disease. Fibromyalgia, they explain, is a form of chronic neuromuscular pain, a pain-amplification syndrome brought on by abnormal interactions between hormones, the immune system, neurotransmitters, and the autonomic nervous system. Sometimes the syndrome occurs spontaneously; in most cases, the authors write, it is associated with trauma, stress, such conditions as lupus and hypothyroidism, and over forty microbes, from hepatitis to Epstein-Barr to Lyme disease. Drawing on actual cases to illustrate their points, the authors help break through the isolation that patients often feel when doctors misdiagnose or simply ignore their symptoms. All About Fibromyalgia addresses a desperate need for information on this disease and offers reassurance to patients and their families.

The Medical Basis of Psychiatry, 3rd edition

The Medical Basis of Psychiatry, 3rd edition

The Medical Basis of Psychiatry, 3rd edition
Stationary Office | Pages: 824 | 2008-05-16 | ISBN: 1588299171 | 18 MB


Psychiatry has emerged as a burgeoning scientific field with major advances in etiology and treatment of several disorders. Just as there was excitement in the anatomic advances that took place a hundred years ago when Emil Kraepelin and his collaborators took on the enormous task of classification of psychiatric disorders based on rational scientific thinking, new advances in genetics, biochemistry, neuroanatomy and pharmacotherapy of mental disorders have brought us even closer to a better understanding of complex disorders like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and even autism. The major goal of the previous edition of this classic book was to update the busy clinician, psychiatric resident and medical student with the most up-to-date information on etiology, diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders. This goal remains the focus of the third edition of this book. In this updated and expanded edition, the reader is provided with the most contemporary information and literature supported by a close survey of the field. Several new chapters dealing with new concepts in biology and treatment of mental disorders have been added. This new edition of this classic title, with its focus on biologic and medical aspects of psychiatry, will continue to be of significant help to all interested in the scientific practice of psychiatry.

Entries on drugs, medical procedures, and therapies are based on the same format. Each begins with the definition, a statement of purpose or use, and a description. Drugs are identified by their chemical formulae and generic and brand names. Dosage information resembles that in the Physician's Desk Reference but is presented in lay language. Precautions, interactions, side effects, and risks are covered. Medical procedures (therapies and tests) are thoroughly outlined from start to finish, including preparation, risk, and aftercare. Both normal and abnormal results are identified. All types of entries conclude with lists of resources to consult. Usually these are books, periodicals, and organizations. Diagrams and photos from medical texts are peppered throughout the encyclopedia. Several full-skeleton body-system illustrations serve as additional identification aids. An encyclopedia of this caliber would not be complete without lists of support groups, government agencies, research centers, and comprehensive cancer centers. These appear in the appendixes. Three pages of contributors to this encyclopedia, with credentials and affiliations, precede the main text. This outstanding medical resource belongs in public, academic, and medical libraries accessible to patients and their families.

The Encyclopedia of Complementary and Alternative Medicine

The Encyclopedia of Complementary and Alternative Medicine


There are many books on alternative medicine, but not many can be considered quick reference guides. This encyclopedia has 400 entries covering terms, organizations, and personalities related to the field.

Entries vary in length from one-sentence definitions to multipage essays. The shorter entries can be frustrating, and some of the longer ones, less than complete. One example is the entry Bates Method for improving eyesight. There is a brief explanation of the relaxation system and of Bates' credentials but no description of the exercises. Some entries on individuals give little or no information about their relevance to the field of alternative or complementary medicine.

On the other hand, the Yoga article provides in-depth coverage of the discipline, giving a brief history, the basic principles involved, and descriptions of the 26 branches of yoga. Another article that would have benefited from the same treatment is ayurveda. A description is given, but there are no cross-references to related entries (Chakra, Doshas) that provide additional details. The lack of illustrations is limiting; even line drawings of things like acupuncture pressure points would have added value to the book. The appendixes include a list of professional and lay organizations, a list of herbs used in herbal treatments, and a time line of alternative and complementary medical history.
