Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anxiety, whether an illness or emotion, is a term with historical roots even in the Bible, but it was not popular until the modern age. Today, we can group, diagnose and treat several anxiety disorders to an extent, but the assessment of symptoms and severity, dealing with resistant conditions, new treatment modalities and specific patient population, such as children, are still the challenging aspects of anxiety disorders. This book intends to present anxiety disorders from a different view and discuss a wide variety of topics in anxiety from a multidimensional approach. This Open Access book addresses not only psychiatrists but also a broad range of specialists, including psychologists, neuroscientists and other mental health professionals.

Download or read book Child Maltreatment in Residential Care written by Adrian V. Rus and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-11 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This data-rich volume reviews short- and long-term consequences of residential or institutional care for children across the globe as well as approaches to reducing maltreatment. Up-to-date findings from a wide range of developing and developed countries identify forms of abuse and neglect associated with institutionalization and their effects on development and pathology in younger children, adolescents, and alumni. The sections on intervention strategies highlight the often-conflicting objectives facing professionals and policymakers balancing the interests of children, families, and facilities. But despite many national and regional variations, two themes stand out: the universal right of children to live in safety, and the ongoing need for professionals and community to ensure this safety. Included among the topics: Maltreatment and living conditions in long-term residential institutions for children Outcomes from institutional rearing Recommendations to improve institutional living Historical, political, socio-economic, and cultural influences on Child Welfare Systems Latin American and the Caribbean, African, Asian, Middle-Eastern, Western and Eastern European countries and the United States of America are presented. Child Maltreatment in Residential Care will inform psychology professionals interested in the role of residential care in the lives of children, and possibilities for improved outcomes. It will also interest social workers and mental health practitioners and researchers seeking evidence-based interventions for families adopting children from residential care.
Download or read book Anxiety Disorder Interview Schedule Adult and Lifetime Version ADIS IV and ADIS IV L written by Timothy A. Brown and published by Graywind Publications Incorporated. This book was released on 2004-11 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule for DSM-IV (ADIS-IV) is a structured interview designed to assess for current episodes of anxiety disorders, and to permit differential diagnosis among the anxiety disorders according to DSM-IV criteria. The ADIS-IV also provides sufficient information to permit functional analysis of the anxiety disorders. In addition, sections to assess current mood, somatoform, and substance use disorders are included because of their high comorbitidy rate with anxiety disorder and because the presenting symtomatology of these disorders is often quite similar to that of the anxiety disorders. The ADIS-IV also contains screening questions for psychotic and conversion symptoms and familial psychiatric history. A more detailed section is included to ascertain the patient's medical and psychiatric treatment history. Finally, with the exception of Axis II disorders, the ADIS-IV permits the use of the DSM-IV multiaxial system. The Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule for DSM-IV: Lifetime Version (ADIS-IV-L) contains all of the sections included in the ADIS-IV. However, unlike the ADIS-IV, the ADIS-IV-L has been designed to establish past (lifetime) diagnoses as well. The ADIS-IV-L also contains a Diagnostic Timeline to assist in the determination of the onset, remission, and temporal sequence of disorders. This item is a specimen set that includes one Clinician's Manual, one Client Interview Schedule for ADIS-IV and one Client Interview Schedule for ADIS-IV-L.

Download or read book Psychobiology of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder written by Alois Saria and published by . This book was released on 2000-06-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Less than twenty years ago the field of mental health did not have the language to describe the long-term consequences of traumatic stress. In the absence of specific biological markers, the psychological symptoms of trauma survivors were often attributed to neurotic or even psychotic disorders. But in 1980, after more than a century of clinical observations, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was recognized as a diagnosis. By the 1990s, biological findings began to provide objective validation that PTSD is more than a politically or socially motivated conceptualization of human suffering. This volume summarizes the latest findings in this rapidly changing field, including the biological differences between PTSD, stress, and other psychiatric disorders Chief among the findings is that PTSD is a different disorder than was originally thought, and that the biology of PTSD is not simply the biology of stress. Topics include the empirical basis for post-traumatic stress disorder; psychobiological findings; neurodevelopmental effects of trauma; neurological basis of traumatic and non-traumatic memory impairment in post-traumatic stress disorder; how basic research informs clinical observations; and the psychobiology of treatment.

Book excerpt: In Leef zonder angst laat Pia Callesen zien hoe je met metacognitieve therapie angstklachten kunt verminderen, zodat je weer de energie en zin hebt om naar buiten te gaan en het leven volop te leven. Zorgen, hartkloppingen, paniekaanvallen en slaapproblemen: het zijn symptomen van angst waar veel mensen aan lijden. In Leef zonder angst zet psycholoog dr. Pia Callesen de beproefde methode van metacognitieve therapie in, die een revolutie teweegbracht in de behandeling van angst: 90 procent van de mensen is na behandeling vrij van angstklachten. Callesen laat zien waarom de huidige methoden niet werken, en angst zelfs in stand houden: de menselijke geest reguleert zichzelf als hij met rust gelaten wordt. Zo hoeven zorgen en emoties geen paniek en angst te veroorzaken, tenzij we ze in leven houden door overmatig te piekeren en er te veel aandacht aan te besteden. In dit boek laat Pia Callesen aan de hand van concrete voorbeelden zien hoe je kunt leren omgaan met emoties en zorgen zodat de angst verdwijnt. Zo heb je weer energie en zin om naar buiten te gaan en het leven volop te leven. Over Leef meer, denk minder: ‘Zorgeloos leven uit een boekje leren. Het zal niemand verbazen dat ik er niets van verwachtte. Maar tot mijn verbazing raakte het me diep.’ – Ellen de Bruin, NRC Handelsblad
