The art and science of brief psychotherapies : an illustrated guide

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：

The first book designed to teach the developing practitioner the core concepts and skills of short-term work, The Art and Science of Brief Psychotherapies has been revised and significantly enhanced in this second edition by the addition of an introductory section that addresses the most critical issues common to all models of psychotherapy, as well as a detailed review of motivational interviewing, a technique that focuses on increasing patient motivation and openness to change while decreasing ambivalence. Also new to this edition is a companion DVD, which provides master clinicians' insights and experience for five brief therapies — cognitive, behavioral, solution-focused, interpersonal, and dynamic — illustrating the essential techniques of these modalities in a concrete, compelling way.

The editors selected contributors with extensive experience in teaching brief therapy and challenged them to provide practical guidance enriched with numerous case vignettes and video examples of their work. The result is a work of unparalleled insight and utility. The Art and Science of Brief Psychotherapies offers clinicians the hands-on information and instruction necessary to learn and then integrate this increasingly important form of therapy into their practice.

great
 i will use this seller agian, great fast and just what i needed it arrived just in time for class and love this book

Excellent clinical resource and training text
Given the current mental health care emphasis on providing clients with brief evidence-based interventions this edited book is an excellent resource for clinicians and those providing clinical training. Most other books that attempt to describe and illustrate brief treatments focus solely on cognitive-behavioral therapies. Although this book does include chapters on cognitive therapy & behavior therapy, this book also includes chapters on motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, time-limited dynamic psychotherapy, brief couples therapy, the role of common factors in therapy, pharmacotherapy, and practice from a multicultural perspective. Thus, this book makes an excellent text for systems of psychotherapy, clinical skills, and practicum/internship courses. Each chapter is written by an expert in the field and includes a video of that expert demonstrating the approach. It is an excellent read that clearly demonstrates each approach!

Thank You
Thank You. That's it in a Nutshell. As a 4th year community counsellor, I find this book a real treat and I love the
DVD

This book covers so much and well worth the investment for nurses, practitioners or anyone wanting concise information on neonates.

The Cleveland Clinic cardiology board review

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：

The Cleveland Clinic Cardiology Board Review, 2nd Edition continues to offer thorough preparation for board certification and recertification exams in cardiology. It is written by distinguished clinicians from the Cleveland Clinic Foundation's Department of Cardiovascular Medicine and based on the Cleveland Clinic Foundation's popular annual Intensive Review of Cardiology course.

The book provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of every area of contemporary cardiovascular medicine. Emphasis is on board relevant clinical material and accurate real-world clinical decision making. More than 500 illustrations and numerous tables facilitate quick review. Board-format questions with answers and explanations appear at the end of each chapter. Plus, with this edition you have access to an online companion website with fully searchable text and a question bank for access to the content anytime, anywhere.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Excellent review book
I was looking for a book which I could use for my daily reading without getting lost in excessive detail. I think this book met my goals. As in any book, a few chapters are better than the others. Overall, the language is lucid, tables are very informative and questions are challenging.

Great review book for general cardiology, not particularly targeted for boards (i.e. not concise)
I bought this book as preparation for the general cardiology boards and found that it is one of the best resources overall. In particular, it offers lots of tables that summarize major pharmacologic and device trials and integrates the latest ACC/AHA guidelines. Overall, it is an amazing resource and well worth the money. For decision making, there are clearly delineated decision tree algorithms that are easy to follow. I recommend this for any cardiology fellow or junior faculty because it has rapidly accessible content that is clinically relevant.
Even though I bought this for board prep, I ended up not using it for the boards. The main reason is that even though the book is inclusive and theoretically can be used to study for boards, it may be a bit too expansive and would take too long. I think it would serve better as something utilized slowly through fellowship but is not crammable the way it is written. It is best served as an outstanding adjunct as a reference source.

Clinical echocardiography review : a self-assessment tool

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：

Keep up with the latest technical advances and clinical applications in echocardiography with this self-paced review! Written by national and international echocardiography experts from the Cleveland Clinic and other leading institutions, Clinical Echocardiography Review: A Self-Assessment Tool uses a reader-friendly question-and-answer format to help trainees and clinicians assess and expand their knowledge and improve comprehension and retention of vital information.

Inside, readers will discover 28 state-of-the-art chapters ranging from basics such as the echocardiography examination, physics, and artifacts, to clinically oriented topics such as atrial fibrillation, prosthetic valves, cardiomyopathies, and pericardial diseases, to new technologies such as dyssynchrony assessment, strain, and strain rate.  

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Great book for NBE exam
I just finished my NBE recert exam: this book is life-saving. I spent three days alone with this book and completed all the questions in the book with the online videos. I was surprised to see so many similar questions appeared on the echo board.
Unlike other books, the questions are deep and similar to the level of questions asked at NBE. The online videos were excellent. I actually learned something useful for clinical practice. The ASE course did not fully prepare me for the exam: this book really gave me full confidence during the test.
This is the new classics in echocardiography textbook.

Excellent Echo Review
This is a beautiful and up to date review of the most common concepts in echocardiography. No book is perfect, obviously, but this one is definitely QUITE GOOD. I've given it 5 stars as a reflection of its quality in comparison to other question books we have used.
APPEARANCE: Perhaps a small and insignificant factor, but when you buy a text book, you might as well get a nice one. The pages of the Clinical Echocardiography Review book are thick and glossy, which helps make the images pop. There's a little glare but nothing that would be too bothersome. The picture quality is perfect. You wouldn't get any better from having the actual study in front of you. The clips available online are also quite good.
CONTENT: The questions are pretty well written, with a clear teaching objective attached to each. The explanations are detailed enough, though perhaps not as thorough as you might be used to from, say, the Mayo question book. The answer keys also contain some really useful diagrams/algrorithms for a breakdown to the approach to a clinical scenario/diagnosis. This is not a text book, however, so you would not be able to use this as a stand-alone guide to echocardiography. It's really best utilized as a review and supplement to your more traditional echo manuals (e.g. JK Oh's The Echo Manual or the Feingenbaum).
MARKET COMPARISON: I can only compare this question book to the "Echocardiography Board Review: 400 Multiple Choice Questions with Discussion" book and the individual questions found in Mayo/Cleveland Clinic question books. I would say on a personal level that I much prefer the "Clinical Echocardiography Review" because the questions are a bit more stimulating, the book is all around prettier, and it is much more image based. The 400 question book focuses a great deal at first on echo physics in the driest possible way; however, as this is a substantial portion of the echo boards, I can't say that it doesn't have it's purpose though perhaps more useful right before the boards.
CONCLUSION: I would certainly recommend this book. In fact, we liked it so much, we bought an additional 3 copies for the fellowship program.

Great Review of Echo concepts you need to know
There is plenty to work on here. The questions are challenging but on things I feel that everyone reading echo should know. There are very good explanations and very good images in the online version which comes with the book. If I only used one review book to study for the boards this would be it. However I don't think any book is a substitute for going to a review course.

The best ECHO book ever
Before this great book, novices had to page through Feigenbaum, Otto, and Oh to get a clue. This Q&A format makes learning the basics and beyond much easier to digest. It is very comprehensive, with atest modalities including 3D and strain/speckled. After working through this not only can you understand ECHO very well, but it makes the classic texts readable by opening up the material in a targeted format. I would use this as a fellow during the first few roatations and found that after a few months I knew most of the secrets the more senior ECHO interpreters had up their sleeves. Great book, couldn't recommned it higher!

Perfect for board echocardiography's tests
It's a great book study for board echo tests and for accreditation in echocardiography. I strongly recommend.
The video questions are very useful.

Absolutely need to pass National Board of Echo Examination!
A must have book for the Cardio Echo Boards!!!!!! I would highly recommend this to anyone planning for the test. Some questions and Pictures / figures were directly out of this book. The hemodynamic section is priceless.

Highly Recommended
This is the only resource that I relied on to any significant degree for my board review, and I passed very comfortably. As other reviewers have noted, this is NOT a textbook, it is a question book. But I believe that if you do all the questions, thoroughly read all the answers and explanations, and watch all the online clips, that you'll be pretty well-prepared for the exam.

Diagnostic pathology. Neoplastic dermatopathology

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：

Diagnostic Pathology: Neoplastic Dermatopathology is designed as an easy-to-use, comprehensive dermatopathology reference book for practicing pathologists, dermatologists, and dermatopathologists. This groundbreaking text carefully analyzes over 225 diagnoses in concise bulleted text that highlights the most significant diagnostic factors. Each diagnosis includes definitions, terminology, etiology, pathogenesis, demographics, clinical presentations, therapy, prognosis, gross and microscopic pathology, differential diagnoses, and special studies including immunohistochemistry and molecular/genetics.
Accompanying the diagnoses are over 2,400 stunning medical images, including clinical images, gross pathology, histology, and a wide range of special and immunohistochemical stains. Each image is carefully annotated to highlight the most diagnostically significant considerations. 

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

A great quick go-to book
Neoplastic Dermatopathology is one of the latest additions to Amirsys series of Diagnostic Pathology. The book has multiple contributors, but the general format for each lesion discussed is similar which results in a similar style throughout. Each entity has a Key Facts Box and in outline form sections which cover terminology, etiology, clinical issues, macroscopic findings, microscopic findings, differential diagnosis, and selected references. For selected neoplasms, additonal features include radiological images, detailed immunohistochemistry, and other ancillary tests. The quality of the photomicrographs, with rare exception, are excellent and representative. Some photomicrographs would be better if enlarged. The book also has a large antibody index, and also more extensive photomicrographs for differential diagnostic considerations and expanded tables for some neoplasms. The list of neoplasms included is extensive and covers considerably more lesions than any conventional dermatopathology text. Undoubtedly there are a few missing, but with new entities described on a monthly basis, it is impossible to capture all. I do have a couple of complaints. One is the numbering of pages. Instead of just a single number, the publishers apparently insisted on a more complex format which includes a part number, section number and page number! It takes a little time to get used to this system. Also, although the selected references are more than adequate, for multi-authored references only one author is listed which is not standard. Overall, one can look at this text as companion for any of the standard dermatopathology textbooks for it expansive coverage of cutaneous neoplasms in a similar fashion to Ackerman's text as a companion for inflammatory dermatosis. I would recommend this book for both dermatopathologists and surgical pathologists.

Key information at your fingertips
This is a must-have "work horse" textbook for dermatopathologists. It contains current, essential yet comprehensive facts needed to streamline one's clinical/histologic differential and to make an accurate diagnosis. The text layout and succinct language lends itself to easy reading and efficient navigation. The gross and microscopic images are of high quality and have very helpful corresponding captions...with arrows! Bottomline - very useful text for one's daily dermatopathology practice.

a new great DP text book
This new book is very well organized. It covers all skin neoplasms in a very concise manner. The pictures are great and are annotated.

A great book for dermatopathology
This book is an extremely helpful look at skin tumors. It is an atlas format and thus the text is easy to read, but comprehensive for an atlas. Many of the pages have multiple photographs per page and the photographs are beautiful. There are microscopic as well as gross photos, and gross photos are often missing from pathology books. The section of skin lymphomas is particularly helpful for a general surgical pathologist, since skin lymphomas is often a small part of derm path txts. I will keep this on my shelf and use it for years to come.

Neurocritical care

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：

Patients in the neurointensive care unit pose many clinical challenges for the attending physician. Even experienced clinicians occasionally arrive at the point where diagnostic, work-up, treatment, or prognostic thinking becomes blocked. Neurocritical Care is the next volume in the "What Do I Do Now?" series and provides the clinician with specific focus and insight on interventions in acute neurologic disorders. Neurocritical care in daily practice pertains to managing deteriorating patients, treatment of complications but also end-of-life care assisting families with difficult decisions. Written with a conversational tone and using a case- based approach, Neurocritical Care emphasizes how to handle comparatively common clinical problems emergently.

 Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Gives a good quick overview
I liked this book as it gives a quick overview on management of common clinical situations in neurocritical care units. This is a good read for medical students, interns/residents and nurses.

For the critical care trainee or practicing intensivist
I was recommended to read this book by neurology residents. Being from an internal medicine background and in my critical care fellowship training, I could see this would be very helpful and informative for all levels: medical students, residents, fellows, and the practicing intensivist--both for neurologists and internal medicine. The writing is clear and has an entertaining conversational style, and the teaching approach is case-based and algorithmic. It is backed up with evidence listed at the end of each chapter for further reading. Also has good tables and diagrams for ease of reading and quick reference. I highly recommend this book and will keep this on my shelf for a long time! (There is also a kindle version which would be great for electonic pocket reference)

Practical dermatopathology

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：

Quickly and confidently evaluate and diagnose skin biopsies with Practical Dermatopathology. Written from the perspective of both the histopathologist and clinician, this popular medical reference allows you to search by disease or pathologic feature to quickly locate key criteria and a differential diagnosis.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Improved on the first edition
This second edition maintains it's reputation as the best bench top dermatopathology book on the market. It is concise, beautifully laid out and illustrated with an excellent differential diagnoses section attached to each described entity which really helps when you are trying to work out what a lesion might be.
For clinicians the the first chapter is an invaluable series of lists of causes for both clinical features and pathological signs with links to the relevant descriptions in the book. I find myself referring to it frequently and always finding something I had not thought about.
The Expert Consult online version of the book, which is free with the printed version, is also very good, providing access via any computer or tablet. There are many additional clinical images here that are not in the printed version which reflect Dr Rapini's background as a clinical dermatologist as well as a dermatopathologist. He was in Australia recently lecturing at our Dermpath Meeting. The book does not capture his entertaining speaking style except for occasional flashes of wit which is probably as it should be for a serious book like this. This book does not disappoint!

Must have Dermpath reference
This is a fantastic book. Anyone signing out skin biopsies needs to have this book right near their scope. It has great lists of differential diagnoses in the first chapter, and the photomicrographs are excellent throughout the book. Highly recommend.

Superb book. Algorithms easy to use. Well-written.
Also, you can get it on the kindle but I got the huge textbook because you can easily search the entire book from the Web with the online features (and no spam so far although you are required to register your email) and keep the textbook in the clinic. $ well spent!

I looooooove this book!
It's an amazing book for us critical care phisicians!
Very nicely and colorfully edited, with updated information... It's everything you need!!!
I recommend it 110% !!

As good as any
No ICU textbook on the market stands clearly apart from the others, but I thought this one was as good as any. Some of Rippe's content is getting stale, although the toxicology section remains supreme. Civetta's chapters can go on forever, although the surgical content is superior there. Vincent's chapters are tight and the content is reasonably current. An acceptably low fraction of the chapters have been outsourced to trainees.

Great update
Update to the classic text. Excellent. Very readable. Using for recertification and is comprehensive and up to date. Should be a part of every critical care surgeon's library.

Evidence-Based Physical Diagnosis helps you choose the diagnostic approaches that have been proven most effective! Dr. Steven McGee puts the most current evidence at your fingertips, equipping you to easily select the best test for diagnosing a given condition and understand the diagnostic significance and accuracy of your findings. A remarkably easy-to-reference organization makes it simple to find the answers you need; and full-text online access at www.expertconsult.com lets you quickly reference the book from any computer or mobile device.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

The best book ever about physical diagnosis in the 21th centuryMany medical students are enthusiastic to learn the skill of physical diagnosis. To their disappointment, however, they find that in the "real world", physical diagnosis is by large ignored, if not abandoned, by many senior clinicians. In nowadays, most patients receive diagnosis from laboratory and radiological tests rather than bedside interviews. It is even more frustrating to learn that talking about physical signs of a patient is something to be scorned, or at least out of dated. We like to discuss the new cutting-edge research findings, but few would seriously treat physical diagnosis with confidence or respect.
Many people criticize physical diagnosis as lacking scientific evidence, and it is said to be vague, unreliable and subjective. To refute this false and unfair judgement, Steven Mcgee tries to find solid research evidence to back up physical diagnosis as a science, no less than any modern medical technique. His effort has combined clinical epidemiology with classic method skills. His arguments are clear, lucid, compelling and highly readable. He wants to convince us that physical diagnosis never vanishes in the atmosphere of modern technology, if only we apply scientific attitude and method to study, use and evaluate it. He has successfully made his point.
In one world, "Evidence-based physical diagnosis" is a must-read for everyone who wants to be a great doctor, teacher or investigator in clinical medicine. Every minute you spend on the book will pay off.

Extraordinario
Este libro es uno de los mejores que he estudiado, sobre examen físico. La versión para Kindle la he probado y es excelente.
Sin duda, se confirma que el libro del Prof. McGee es un clásico de la Medicina de nuestra época.

Low back pain : mechanism, diagnosis, treatment

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：

The Seventh Edition of this textbook is built upon the peer-reviewed literature and research studies in the diagnosis and treatment of low back and radicular pain, focusing on the nonsurgical chiropractic adjusting methods. This text is the culmination of twelve years of updated research and development of spinal manipulation. From spinal stenosis to rehabilitation of low back pain patients to the latest treatise on fibromyalgia, you’ll find it all in Low Back Pain, Seventh Edition.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

THE Low back pain text
There's no doubt that there is only ONE low back pain book. This edition represents the culmination of Dr. Cox's life's work. He has been incredibly influential in chiropractic and beyond. This is (unfortunately) likely to be the final edition of this text by Dr. Cox and should be a must-have for all chiropractors and other practitioners who treat low back pain. Don't look at the price tag as anything more than a small pittance for the work he has done over the years. Just buy the book and attempt to learn from a true master. It should be standard of care for all practitioners who encounter low back pain to have thoroughly studied this gold standard.

chiropractic student
This book contains great diagrams, images, and priceless summaries of research - everything from research that is decades old to brand new, and also the wisdom of decades of clinical experience. This book will definitely help me with diagnosis and treatment of my patients!

The name Schiff is synonymous with hepatology. Leon Schiff co-founded the AASLD in 1950 and was the main editor of this iconic book for the first 7 editions. Following Leon Schiff's death, his son Gene Schiff has taken on the lead editor role, and this 11th edition will be the 4th under his guidance. As a result, Schiff's Diseases of the Liver has been widely accepted as the number 1 clinical hepatology reference book for over 50 years.

With its strength being its strong clinical focus on hepatology, it covers anatomy, pathology, testing, imaging, and effects of liver disease on other organs, before moving on to sections that address specific diseases and clinical syndromes. Sections begin with a clear overview and chapters with a key concepts section that helps the reader quickly assimilate the most noteworthy information. Its enormous appeal has been due clarity of text, combined with a sheer thoroughness in its breadth of content. Key features include:

I had the pleasure of studying under Dr Eugene Schiff at the University of Miami School of Medicine. Schiff's Diseases of the Liver is the definitive Hepatology textbook by which all other text are measured. Like Dr Schiff this textbook is very comprehensive and informative. It covers all aspects of liver disease in great detail. It is well worth the price to obtain this textbook. By Gregg L. Friedman MD, Psychiatrist, Hallandale Beach, FL
