The art and science of brief psychotherapies


簡介(Book Description from Amazon):

With all of the expert-authored content that made previous editions indispensable references for students and practitioners alike, this third edition of The Art and Science of Brief Psychotherapies: A Practitioner's Guide has been updated to reflect this rapidly changing field.
Most chapters include new material that documents recent developments within existing models, and new chapters tackle topics that include the following:
- Multicultural practice- Mentalizing- Motivational interviewing- Dialectical behavior therapy- Telepsychiatry- Internet-based interventions
All chapters summarize the ideas underlying each modality, the evidence for effectiveness, and the techniques and interventions central to each.
In this edition, the DVD of videos has been replaced with 40 updated streaming videos -- available on desktop and mobile devices -- that show experienced practitioners engaged in a range of brief therapies, allowing for a deeper and richer learning experience for readers.
In a national and global environment of limited economic resources and multiple demands on patients' time, short-term treatment modalities are increasingly important. Integrating theory, research, and step-by-step procedures, The Art and Science of Brief Psychotherapies is an ideal introduction to the range of short-term therapies for psychiatry residents, psychology interns, social work students, and experienced practitioners looking to broaden their practice.

Excellent combination of analogic and digital intelligence.Sergio Tomaselli Marzano

✯✯✯✯✯
I'm a PhD graduate student in Clinical Psychology. I found this book an incredibly helpful synthesis of different current approaches to psychotherapy as it is practiced in many mental health settings. In addition, there are great discussions of common factors among approaches. Books of this quality give that much sought after authoritative, foundational knowledge of the discipline. Anyone can seek further depth by following up on the bibliographies and the well-respected authors to find out more. Video supplements breath life into the text (with on-screen guidance), which are helpful to psychotherapists in training like myself. I anticipate keeping this book nearby anywhere I practice and to use as an instructor or supervisor of future therapists.

【新進館藏介紹】👉《生命最後的禮物︰正確看待臨死覺知,傾聽臨終者的話語,做出有效的溝通》


本書主要介紹「臨死覺知」,揭露人們在接近生命終點時會有什麼樣的知覺,以及臨終的人需要什麼才能安寧地離開。這樣的覺知主要發生在那些緩慢辭世的人身上,臨終的人企圖描述他們對死亡的感知經驗時,但往往被人遺漏、誤解或忽視,因為這些溝通太過模糊、太出乎意料,或者是以象徵性的話語傳達。  

閱讀本書,你會知道該如何傾聽臨終者,如何判斷他說的話代表什麼意義,才不會做出不當的回應,讓他感到灰心而拒絕溝通。你也會看到人們是用什麼方式去面對死亡,並得到安慰和平靜,甚至是喜悅。

✯✯✯✯✯
Great text, well organized. Helped me brush up on some cases that I hadn't seen in a while. Had at least two cases in my exam that were almost identical to the practice cases.
✯✯✯✯✯
This book is way better than the previous editions. It explains​ thoroughly and it has questions and answers on how you suppose to ask the patient and how the patient is going to answer. It is really helpful if you have someone to practice with.
✯✯✯✯✯
Very helpful book for the preparation of step 2 cs. Some of the questions that should be asked are very specific and by no chance I would have asked them without reading the book. Don`t forget to read the mini cases as they give you all you need to know for differential diagnosis. I also practiced with live and online study partners using this book and passed with high performance in all parts as an IMG. Good luck to everyone!

Customer Reviews from Amazon :


✯✯✯✯✯
The Complete Dentist is a must for all dentists. So much excellent material in this book. What I liked the most is Dr. Polansky's concept of the human side of dentistry. So much of dental education is directed towards the technical side of dentistry as he describes. This both lacks fulfillment for the patient and the practitioner. My complaint.....so much good information that I will need to re- read this book a couple of times to gather as many pearls as possible.
✯✯✯✯✯
Barry Polansky’s The Complete Dentist is the complete guide to keeping first things first. He has the gift of seeing what nobody else sees and communicating it with amazing clarity. I am constantly challenged to become a better dentist, and human being, when I read his books. I recommend The Complete Dentist to anyone who wants to have a long satisfying career in dentistry and avoid all the hype and “the latest thing” mentality.

Great book! Packed with useful information. Will need to read and reread for maximal effect. Practical, but with the right amount of basic science required for an in depth understanding of subject matter. The AUC section was useful, but would like to have ACC guidelines side by side for easy reference.

Rhoton's atlas of head, neck, and brain


簡介(Book Description from Amazon):

Masterful 2D and 3D head, neck, and brain dissections provide unsurpassed insights into head, neck, and brain anatomy
An internationally renowned and beloved author, educator, brain anatomist, and neurosurgeon, Professor Albert Rhoton has a special place in medical history. He was revered by students and colleagues and is regarded as one of the fathers of modern microscopic neurosurgery. A driving principle in his anatomy lab was the simple phrase, "Every Second." This was embraced in his philosophy that every second of every day, a patient's life was improved by a surgeon assisted by the anatomic knowledge his lab helped elucidate and distribute.
Rhoton's Atlas of Head, Neck, and Brain is the visually exquisite crowning achievement of Dr. Rhoton's brilliant career and unwavering dedication to the intertwined pursuits of surgical anatomy and neurosurgery. The atlas reflects the unparalleled contributions Dr. Rhoton made to the contemporary understanding of neurosurgical anatomy. Dr. Peris-Celda, with the collaboration of an impressive cadre of international multidisciplinary experts, worked closely under Dr. Rhoton's tutelage on this project. This book is the culmination of 5 years of work and experience gleaned from more than 40 years of surgical anatomy research and exquisite dissection techniques performed in Dr. Rhoton's laboratory.
Customer Reviews from Amazon :


✯✯✯✯✯
This book is probably the best text I've come across for learning neurosurgically relevant anatomy. Dr. Rhoton's primary research articles are also good resources for learning neuroanatomy, however it is nice to finally have a comprehensive compilation of much of his and his research fellow's anatomical work in one text. RIP Dr. Rhoton.

✯✯✯✯✯
I use the Kindle Desktop App and the images cannot be zoomed in clearly. Distinctive anatomically features are not at all visible, making this kindle book useless if used with the desktop app. However, this is a software problem with Kindle Desktop. The book is otherwise an excellent resource! I ended up borrowing a hard copy from my library and was very impressed.

Facial volumization


簡介(Book Description from Amazon):

The gliding nature and dynamic planes of the face present one of the great challenges in aesthetic surgery and volume replenishment is a key component of the treatment algorithm. Facial Volumization: An Anatomic Approach by Jerome Lamb and Christopher Surek masterfully bridges the gap between the anatomy lab and injection clinic. It synthesizes a large body of facial anatomy publications into a "one-stop shop" covering a wide array of facial procedures - from the chin and perioral - to the midface and temple.
In addition to vascular injury, lymphatic disruption can play a critical role in suboptimal aesthetic facial volumization outcomes. Chapter 2, The Lymphatic Anatomy of the Lower Eyelid and the Malar Region of the Face discusses new state-of-the art facial lymphatic discoveries.

Detailed anatomical drawings showing layer by layer. This book was recommended by a world renowned dermatologist at a course I recently attended as a resource for safer injection practice. I purchased the e-book version as soon as I returned home from the course and was immediately able to read the book on my laptop.

The accompanying videos showing the use of injectables for deep fat pad enhancement using micro-cannulas has already been extremely valuable in my practice because better placement uses less product.

My only complaint was that I wish it were longer. I couldn't put it down and was sorry when I finished. I have reread sections and will continue to use this as a resource. I look forward to more from Lamb and Surek in the future.

✯✯✯✯✯
Facial Volumization is a thoughtful and detailed facial anatomy book. The book has intricate illustrations that demonstrate the layers of the face in a systematic way from deep to superficial. Special attention is given to to the “spaces” and compartments that have previously been described but not well defined, complied and illustrated. The book is intended to be a supplement or roadmap for any facial volumizing injector that uses an anatomic based technique. Whether you are an experienced injector, novice injector or just interested in facial anatomy, this text provides a nice layered depiction of facial anatomy.

Facial reconstruction after Mohs surgery


簡介(Book Description from Amazon):

The growing worldwide incidence of melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers has driven the development of effective treatment methodologies. Mohs is the gold standard surgical treatment for excision of skin cancers on the head and neck. While Mohs surgery has a 99% effectiveness rate for new cancers and 95% for recurrences, more than 90% of reconstructed patients desire some improvement in their operative scars.
Facial Reconstruction after Mohs Surgery by James Thornton and Jourdan Carboy summarizes 15 years and 12,000 cases in a surgical practice devoted to post-Mohs facial reconstruction. Step-by-step guidance is provided on efficacious, aesthetically pleasing, and functionally complete repairs, respective of a patient's age, anesthesia considerations, and available resources. In addition to succinct chapters on lip, ear, cheek, scalp, and nasal reconstruction, subspecialty chapters cover anesthesia, Mohs surgery, oculoplastic surgery, and microvascular reconstruction. Throughout the text, complete and concise clinical algorithms serve as a framework to help simplify difficult clinical concepts.

An excellent resource for step by step surgical reconstructions after Mohs! Exactly the type of resource the market needed. It is easy to read and heavy with photos and illustrations, not only of before and after reconstructions but also of the surgical steps required to achieve excellent results.
