The Art and Science of Psychotherapy by Stefan Hofmann, Joel Weinberger
Routledge | 2006-12-13 | 0415952158 | 336 p | pdf | 3 Mb
Psychotherapy, like most other areas of health care, is a synthesis of scientific technique and artistic expression. The practice, like any other, is grounded in a series of standardized principles, theories, and techniques. Individual practitioners define themselves within the field by using these basic tools to achieve their therapeutic goals in novel ways, applying these rudimentary skills and guiding principles to each situation in new and exciting ways. Effective work can only be accomplished through a synthesis of the fundamental scientific methods and the creative application of these techniques, approaches, and strategies.

In recognition of these two basic skill sets within the field, and acknowledging that they are often taught exclusively of each other, Dr. Hofmann and his co-editor have compiled a group of leading therapists to give insight into the creative side to psychotherapy. Central to this collection is the premise that a toolbox full of treatment approaches, no matter how comprehensive, is not enough to effectively reach your patients. The aim of this book is first to address the fundamental split between the researchers and scholars who use scientific methods to develop disorder-specific treatment techniques and those more clinically inclined therapists who emphasize the individual, interpersonal aspects of the therapeutic process. Ad secondly, once this polarization of approaches is clearly defined, contributors will systematically unearth and explore the variety of unspecific, subtle factors in psychotherapy that are often overlooked by even those therapists who are conscious of interpersonal theories. 18 chapters are broken up into three main sections, focusing on the client-therapist relationship, models of therapeutic change, and more specific issues that arise during therapy. Chapters will be written with a clear emphasis on the practical relevance to therapy and will include many case examples and excerpts of patient-clinician dialogues.

The Miller Method: Developing the Capacities of Children on the Autism Spectrum
Stationary Office | Pages:320 | 2007-02-15 | ISBN: 1843107228 | 6 MB
The systems model of autism that that Dr. Miller presents in this book is internally related to the therapeutic program that he outlines: that is, his model of autism informs the principles and techniques employed in the Miller Method®. On this model, autism spectrum disorders are seen as the downstream effect of initial biological or processing challenges that constrain the child’s capacity to regulate or process his sensory impressions and/or to control his movements, thereby impairing his capacity to differentiate between himself and others. The child may have trouble achieving any sense of stability at all, or he may settle on behaviors that enable him to maintain a sense of order at the cost of further development.

An Introduction to Forensic Genetics is a comprehensive introduction to this fast moving area from the collection of evidence at the scene of a crime to the presentation of that evidence in a legal context. The last few years have seen significant advances in the subject and the development and application of genetics has revolutionised forensic science.

This book begins with the key concepts needed to fully appreciate the subject and moves on to examine the latest developments in the field, illustrated throughout with references to relevant casework. In addition to the technology involved in generating a DNA profile, the underlying population biology and statistical interpretation are also covered. The evaluation and presentation of DNA evidence in court is discussed as well with guidance on the evaluation process and how court reports and statements should be presented.

* An accessible introduction to Forensic Genetics from the collection of evidence to the presentation of that evidence in a legal context
* Includes case studies to enhance student understanding
* Includes the latest developments in the field focusing on the technology used today and that which is likely to be used in the future
* Accessible treatment of population biology and statistics associated with forensic evidence

Larry W. Swanson, ” Brain Architecture: Understanding the Basic Plan”
Oxford University Press, USA (October 31, 2002) | ISBN:0195105044 | 320 pages | CHM | 9,6 Mb

“Larry Swanson, one of the great contemporary students of brain anatomy, has given us a broad overview of the structure and function of the brain using insights from embryology and from evolutionary comparison to highlight the principles that govern the anatomical substrates of behavior. This book will be read avidly by both students and practicing scientists.”–Eric R. Kandel, M. D., Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Columbia University, Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine

“Neuroanatomy is usually associated with boring memorization and dense terminology. But Swanson has brought the subject to life by focusing on the principles that underlie brain structure and function. These principles, illuminated by an historical perspective and placed in an evolutionary context, actually constitute a theory of brain. This book’s logical organization, intellectual sweep, and clear writing made it a joy for me to read.”–Charles F. Stevens, M.D., Ph.D., Howard Hughes Medical Institute, The Salk Institute for Biological Sciences

“This short book deserves wide readership. It could serve both as a general introduction for the undergraduate and as a means to widen one’s horizon for the experienced researcher.”–Jan Voogd in Science

“I was pleasantly surprised by the comparative and evolutionary approach used to introduce the major concepts, and I was drawn in by the historical context in which the story is told…a clearly written and logically organized overview of the major functional subsivisions of the vertebrate nervous system, accompanied by a commentary on historical views of brain function. It will be a welcome addition to the libraries of students and anyone interested in the basic organization of the brain.”–Nature Neuroscience

“The Elements of Murder: A History of Poison “
Publisher:Oxford University Press, USA | Pages:436 | 2005-05-26 | ISBN:0192805991 | PDF | 1.3 MB
How can a chemical we need on a daily basis to keep us healthy be fatal at a different dose? Why should elements that are intrinsically dangerous be used in medicine? How did poisoners use the chemical properties of chemicals to cover their tracks? Emsley gives detailed histories of five of the most toxic elements - arsenic, antimony, lead, mercury, and thallium, highlighting some of the most famous murders and how the murderers used the chemical properties of elements to hide what they were doing. He shows how the elements have been behind many modern day environmental catastrophes including accidental mass poisonings from lead and arsenic, and the Minamata Bay Disaster in Japan. The array of fascinating stories shows how chemicals have impacted the lives of people ranging from the Greeks and Romans to Newton, Napoleon, Lucrezia Borgia, Mozart, Nelson Mandela, and Saddam Hussein. Emsley also touches on subjects close to home: cot deaths, laxatives, venereal disease, alleged cures for acne, hangovers, and insanity.
