Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un tsunami de cas de démence sénile en 2050 ? Les prédictions concernant le nombre de personnes âgées vivant avec une démence à l'horizon 2050 suscitent de fréquentes annonces alarmistes, prévoyant un "tsunami" de cas de démence, qui submergerait les familles et les systèmes de soins de santé et qui imposerait un fardeau économique insupportable. Afin de prévenir cette "crise de la démence", la position biomédicale dominante considère qu'il faut placer un maximum d'efforts sur le diagnostic et le traitement neurobiologiques précoces, ainsi que sur l'application des outils des neurosciences cliniques, afin d'identifier les moyens de différer et, finalement, de guérir la démence. Les limites de l'approche biomédicale de la démence Ce livre vise tout d'abord à caractériser le contexte social et culturel dans lequel s'est développée cette approche biomédicale de la démence, qui a conduit à une médicalisation croissante du vieillissement. Il a également pour objectif de décrire les limites, en particulier le caractère réducteur, de cette approche et de montrer en quoi le vieillissement cérébral et cognitif semble être modulé par de multiples facteurs (biomédicaux, psychologiques, sociaux, culturels, environnementaux), intervenant tout au long de la vie. Une autre perspective, plus humaniste, moins médicalisante Les implications de ce changement de perspective seront ensuite identifiées : l'importance de la prévention ; le développement de pratiques d'évaluation et d'intervention qui prennent en compte les personnes âgées dans leur individualité et qui ont pour objectif de maintenir un sens à leur vie, un sentiment de bien-être, une place dans la société et un pouvoir d'agir ; un changement de culture dans les structures d'hébergement à long terme pour personnes âgées. L'ouvrage, engagé, se termine par un ensemble de réflexions critiques portant notamment sur les notions normatives de vieillissement réussi et actif.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Des outils pour aider les personnes âgées à affronter la démence et les maladies mentales. Les prédictions concernant le nombre de personnes âgées qui souffriront de démence en 2050 suscitent de fréquentes annonces alarmistes, prévoyant un « tsunami » de cas qui submergerait les familles et les soignants et qui imposerait un fardeau économique insupportable à la société. Afin de prévenir cette « crise de la démence », la position biomédicale dominante considère qu’il faut placer un maximum de moyens sur la recherche neurobiologique, le diagnostic et les traitements pharmacologiques, afin d’essayer de différer et, finalement, de guérir la démence. Ce livre vise tout d’abord à expliquer le contexte social et culturel dans lequel s’est développée cette approche biomédicale de la démence, qui a conduit à une médicalisation croissante du vieillissement. Il a également pour objectif de décrire les limites de cette approche et de montrer en quoi le vieillissement cérébral et cognitif semble être modulé par de multiples facteurs (biomédicaux, psychologiques, sociaux, culturels, etc.), intervenant tout au long de la vie. Les implications de ce changement de perspective sont ensuite identifiées. Pour les auteurs, il convient d’allouer davantage de ressources à la prévention et de développer des pratiques d’évaluation et d’intervention psychosociales qui prennent en compte les personnes âgées dans leur individualité. L’objectif ? Aider ces personnes à maintenir un sens à leur vie, un sentiment de bien-être et de dignité, ainsi qu’une véritable place dans la société. Ils préconisent également un changement de culture dans les structures d’hébergement à long terme pour personnes âgées. Cet ouvrage engagé, qui défend une approche humaniste du vieillissement, se termine par un ensemble de réflexions sur les droits et la citoyenneté des personnes âgées. Destiné aux professionnels de la santé, cet ouvrage de référence permet d'appréhender d'un point de vue éthique et psychologique les troubles cognitifs de la vieillesse. CE QU'EN PENSE LA CRITIQUE Un humanisme face au vieillissement et une clarté de vue, qui pourrait élargir le modèle-même de la maladie dite d’Alzheimer. - Françoise Laeckmann, Wolvendael Magazine On va retrouver dans leur ouvrage, et c’est sans surprise, et avec plaisir, l’humanisme face au vieillissement et une clarté de vue qui fait fi du modèle restreint de la maladie d’Alzheimer réduit à une atteinte cognitive dégénérative. - Philippe Thomas, La revue de gériatrie Ce livre, qui au premier abord pourrait paraître polémique, constitue une présentation certes sélective, mais très riche, pour mieux comprendre la question du vieillissement cérébral, notamment au cours du très grand âge. - Emmanuel Monfort, Santé publique À PROPOS DES AUTEURS Martial Van der Linden est docteur en psychologie et professeur aux Universités de Genève et de Liège.

Download or read book Clause Combining in Grammar and Discourse written by John Haiman and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally the study of syntax is restricted to the study of what goes on within the boundaries of the prosodic sentence. Although the nature of clause combining within a prosodic sentence has always been a central concern of traditional syntax (in GG, e.g. it underlies important research on deletion and anaphora), work within a discourse analysis framework has hardly been done. Analyses like this are given in the present volume.
Download or read book MacArthur Competence Assessment Tool for Clinical Research MacCAT CR written by Paul S. Appelbaum and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The MacCAT-CR provides a structured format for capacity assessment that is adaptable to the particulars of any given research project. With the introduction of the MacCAT-CR, researchers enrolling human participants in their studieshave available for the first time a reliable and valid means of assessing their potential subject's capacity to consent to participation. The MacCAT-CR can typically be administered in 15-20 minutes. Beginning with project-specific disclosures to potential participants, the MacCAT-CR measures the four generally accepted components of decision-making competence: understanding, appreciation, reasoning, and the ability to express a choice. Quantification of subjects' responses permits comparisons across subjects and subject groups, and allows the MacCAT-CR to be used for not only for screening individual participants but also for conducting research on the characteristics of subject populations and for assessing the effectiveness of interventions designed to increase subjects' capacities.
Download or read book Political Responsibility for a Globalised World written by Ernst Wolff and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2014-04-30 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to reflect on the complex practice of responsibility within the context of a globalised world and contemporary means of action. Levinas' exploration of the ethical serves as point of entry and is shown to be seeking inter-cultural political relevance through engagement with the issues of postcoloniality and humanism. Yet, Levinas fails to realise the ethical implications of the inevitable instrumental mediation between ethical meaning and political practice. With recourse to Weber, Apel and Ricoeur, Ernst Wolff proposes a theory of strategic co-responsibility for the uncertain global context of practice.

Download or read book Inpatient Group Psychotherapy written by Irvin D. Yalom and published by . This book was released on 1983-05-11 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a book for front-line clinicians, Irvin Yalom turns to the inpatient psychiatric setting and offers new ways of conceptualizing the techniques of group therapy for use on acute wards. While some group therapy occurs in all psychiatric hospitals, it is rarely handled systematically and is not properly supported by the psychiatric leadership. Arguing from his own research results and from his years of experience, Yalom makes a strong case for the importance and efficacy of group therapy on all acute wards. "An eminently practical guide to what works".--Marc Hertzman, Dir., George Washington Univ. Medical Center. Notes, Appendix and Index.

Download or read book Vulnerable written by Colleen M. Flood and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 850 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease known as COVID-19, has infected people in 212 countries so far and on every continent except Antarctica. Vast changes to our home lives, social interactions, government functioning and relations between countries have swept the world in a few months and are difficult to hold in one’s mind at one time. That is why a collaborative effort such as this edited, multidisciplinary collection is needed. This book confronts the vulnerabilities and interconnectedness made visible by the pandemic and its consequences, along with the legal, ethical and policy responses. These include vulnerabilities for people who have been harmed or will be harmed by the virus directly and those harmed by measures taken to slow its relentless march; vulnerabilities exposed in our institutions, governance and legal structures; and vulnerabilities in other countries and at the global level where persistent injustices harm us all. Hopefully, COVID-19 will forces us to deeply reflect on how we govern and our policy priorities; to focus preparedness, precaution, and recovery to include all, not just some. Published in English with some chapters in French.
Download or read book Living with Dementia written by Veljko Dubljević and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-22 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses current issues in the neuroscience and ethics of dementia care, including philosophical as well as ethical legal, and social issues (ELSIs), issues in clinical, institutional, and private care-giving, and international perspectives on dementia and care innovations. As such, it is a must-read for anyone interested in a well-researched, thought-provoking overview of current issues in dementia diagnosis, care, and social and legal policy. All contributions reflect the latest neuroscientific research on dementia, either broadly construed or in terms of the etiologies and symptoms of particular forms of dementia. Given its interdisciplinary and international scope, its depth of research, and its qualitative emphasis, the book represents a valuable addition to the available literature on neuroethics, gerontology, and neuroscientific memory research.
