Download or read book Ten Minutes for the Family written by Eia Asen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-08-02 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The provision of suitable mental health care is one of the major tasks facing general practitioners and their teams. Family-oriented primary care has moved from doctor-controlled to patient-centred consultations, with a greater emphasis on collaboration. The systemic framework uniquely lends itself to this shift in emphasis, as it views the delivery of care in social rather than merely medical terms. There is now a strong evidence base for the efficacy of systemic approaches in managing many different types of mental health and relationship issues. This text is a practical guide for health professionals working in primary care who wish to improve their management of problem patients, problem families and problem situations. Step-by-step, it introduces both the theory and the practice of the family approach - from interviewing individual patients in routine consultations to conducting specific family crisis meetings. It includes many concrete suggestions for using simple family therapy techniques and encourages the clinician to think about cases constructively. Case histories and patient stories are used extensively to illustrate the techniques as well as boxed information to highlight key points.

Download or read book Don t Ask Your Doctor written by Wolfgang H. Moll and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don't Ask Your Doctor is a revolutionary and controversial book, written to wake up the American people about the tremendous downturn in general health over the last 25 years. Wolfgang H. Moll is not a physician and has no medical training; however, he approaches health from the patient's point of view. He criticizes the American addiction to unnecessary doctor and hospital visits, and is also critical of the extreme influence of drug manufacturers pushing prescription drugs. He made it to age 75 without doctors, prescription drugs or other medicines, without hospital visits or bypass surgeries, and without a wheelchair, chemotherapy or radiation tests. Shortly after the author had a heart attack at age 27, he began investigating profoundly the subject of health. He established his personal well-being as his priority in life, and told the whole world, "I did it my way " This book is enlightening because: The USA has the highest rate of extreme obesity in the world - about one third of the population. The USA has the highest rate of diabetes in the world. The USA spends $2.3 trillion per year on health care, by far the highest budget on earth. The USA has more heart surgeries than any other country. The USA has less than 5 percent of the world's population, but consumes half of all prescription drugs. Born in Germany, Wolfgang H. Moll now lives in South Florida. He is presently working on the translation of his book to Spanish (No Consulte a Su Medico) and to German (Frag Nicht Deinen Arzt).
