Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a collection of articles provided by the participants of the SFB-workshop on C*-algebras, March 8 - March 12, 1999 which was held at the Sonderforschungsbereich "Geometrische Strukturen in der reinen Mathematik" of the University of Münster, Germany. The aim of the workshop was to bring together leading experts in the theory of C* -algebras with promising young researchers in the field, and to provide a stimulating atmosphere for discussions and interactions between the participants. There were 19 one-hour lectures on various topics like - classification of nuclear C* -algebras, - general K-theory for C* -algebras, - exact C* -algebras and exact groups, - C*-algebras associated to (infinite) matrices and C*-correspondences, - noncommutative prob ability theory, - deformation quantization, - group C* -algebras and the Baum-Connes conjecture, giving a broad overview of the latest developments in the field, and serving as a basis for discussions. We, the organizers of the workshop, were greatly pleased with the excellence of the lectures and so were led to the idea of publishing the proceedings of the conference. There are basically two kinds of contributions. On one side there are several articles giving surveys and overviews on new developments and im portant results of the theory, on the other side one finds original articles with interesting new results.

Download or read book Addiction the Enigma of Stigma written by Cesar A. Fabiani MD and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-09-03 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Substance use disorder is a legitimate medical disorder with its locus in the pleasure centers of the brain. People who have addictions frequently also have medical and psychiatric comorbidities that complicate their addictions. With perseverance, all of these challenging disorders can be prevented and treated. Prevention can be classified as primary, secondary, and tertiary. The sine qua non of treatment and prevention is the biopsychosocial model. Classification is crucial in science. As an example, the DSM-5 publication has been an important scientific achievement. In it, Substance- Related and Addictive Disorders can be diagnosed using the four Cs: craving, control (loss of), compulsion, and use despite negative consequences. Thanks to pharmacogenetics and epigenetics in the future, the high risk for different addictions can be clarified. Tragic cases of celebrities can be changed, and their triumphs celebrated instead of their deaths mourned from substance use disorders. Examples of tragic cases in the past are Ernest Hemingway, whose family also suffered five suicides (including Hemingway himself), and Eugene ONeill with three suicides in his family. On the other hand, Bob and Bill W., Betty Ford, and Robert Downey Jr. and Drew Barrymore all succeeded in their fights against addiction. As far as I know, Hemingway and ONeil were never told they had an alcohol use disorder and were never referred to AA. Although it is speculation, if both authors and their families were treated with lithium (used for mania first in Australia in 1949 and approved for the treatment of mood disorders in the United States in 1972) or, in the future, ketamine, their suicides could have been prevented. Bob Smith and Bill Watson, who experienced a spiritual transformation experience, were able to abstain from alcohol for the rest of their lives. Evidence-based studies can be used along with FDA-approved addiction medication as part of the biopsychosocial model. For alcohol use disorders, three medications are recommended: disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone. The key is determining which medication is indicated for a specific patient. For cocaine and stimulant use disorders, FDA-approved medications for the treatment of ADHD are an alternative for patients trying to self-medicate with cocaine. For opiate use disorders, three other medications are also FDA-approved: naltrexone, methadone and buprenorphine. I favor buprenorphine due to the fact that is a partial mu blocker (the mu receptor is the most important analgesic opiate receptor)the risk of respiratory depression in cases of overdosing is low, and the success rate is high. Buprenorphine can be paired with naloxone, which is an opiate blocker, to prevent the illegal distribution. Kits with naloxone, Evzio (brand name of naloxone 0.4-milligram auto-injector), are being distributed to patients and family members, making it a life-saving medication similar to EpiPen for the treatment of anaphylactic shock. In order to diminish the risk of diversion, many deterrent techniques are being developed by manufactures of opiates. All these precautions will be almost superfluous if an implantable version of buprenorphine becomes available. Effective and updated medical education is the best antidote against stigma. Above all, all patients with substance use disorders should be treated with respect and humane care.

Download or read book Trastorno bipolar el enemigo invisible written by Ana González Isasi and published by . This book was released on 2011-01-12 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El objetivo principal de esta manual es ofrecer un programa de tratamiento psicológico que, junto al tratamiento farmacológico, reduzca las hospitalizaciones y las recaídas, y mejore la calidad de vida y la recuperación funcional de los pacientes con trastorno bipolar o con trastorno bipolar refractario. El tratamiento farmacológico ha sido, hasta hace pocos años, el único tratamiento ofertado a los pacientes con un trastorno bipolar, mostrándose insuficiente en una gran proporción de casos. En los últimos años se ha investigado la influencia de diferentes terapias psicosociales en el trastorno bipolar, apostando por la necesidad de un programa estructurado que combinara técnicas de distintos modelos. Por ello, presentamos un programa de tratamiento psicológico de veinte sesiones para ser aplicado en formato grupal, que integra psicoeducación con terapia cognitivo-conductual y añade técnicas de otros modelos. Este programa se desarrolla en el medio clínico habitual de los pacientes, por lo que puede ponerse en práctica tanto en hospitales como en centros de salud mental. Este manual pretende ofrecer a los profesionales un amplio repertorio de estrategias útiles y prácticas para mejorar la evolución de nuestros pacientes. El presente volumen se completa con la obra Ojos que si ven. Soy Bipolar. (Diez entrevistas) (Ed. Desclée De Brouwer. Colección Serendipity. Bilbao 2011), un compendio de diez entrevistas de corte humano con pacientes bipolares que participaron en esta experiencia científica. Ana González Isasi (Vitoria-Gasteiz, 1977).

It immediately established itself as an indispensable reference for all mental health practitioners.

Incorporating a wealth of new information, these eminent researchers and clinicians thoroughly review all available outcome data and clinical trials and provide detailed specification of methods and procedures to ensure effective treatment for each major DSM-IV disorder. As an interdisciplinary work that integrates information from both clinical psychology and psychiatry, this new edition will continue to serve as an essential volume for practitioners of every kind: psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, counselors, and mental health consultants.
