Описание: Understanding Cross-Cultural Neuropsychology thoroughly examines the meaning of culture in the context of neuropsychology, focusing on the fundamental neuroscience underlying how different aspects of culture influence neuropsychological test performance, and how that is related to brain function. It explores in detail the relationship between brain activity and culture, and the influence of various cultural, educational, and linguistic factors on neuropsychological test performances across various cognitive domains. Written by leadings researchers in cross-cultural neuropsychology, the book first introduces the basic concepts in the field. It goes on to focus on the influence of cultural variables on specific domains of cognition, including perception, attention, memory, language, and executive functions. It also explores the implications of cross-cultural neuropsychology in practice, including a focus on test adaptation, the use of interpreters, the influence of acculturation, and the practice of neuropsychological rehabilitation in different cultural settings.This book is essential reading for neuropsychologists and related practitioners working with culturally diverse clients, who need a good grasp of the cultural impacts on neuropsychological test performance when assessing clients from different cultural, linguistic, and educational backgrounds. It is also valuable for neuropsychologists in countries around the world who need a means of understanding the ways in which their culture impacts the performances of their clients on tests, which have been mostly developed in the U.S. or other Western cultures.

An expert explores the nature of pain: why it hurts and why some pain is good and some pain is bad.
If you touch something hot, it hurts. You snatch your hand away from the hot thing immediately. Obviously. But what is really happening, biologically -- and emotionally? In Understanding Pain, Fernando Cervero explores the mechanisms and the meaning of pain. You touch something hot and your brain triggers a reflex action that causes you to withdraw your hand, protecting you from injury. That kind of pain, Cervero explains, is actually good for us; it acts as an alarm that warns us of danger and keeps us away from harm.
But, Cervero tells us, not all pain is good for you. There is another kind of pain that is more like a curse: chronic pain that is not related to injury. This is the kind of pain that fills pain clinics and makes life miserable. Cervero describes current research into the mysteries of chronic pain and efforts to develop more effective treatments.
Cervero reminds us that pain is the most common reason for people to seek medical attention, but that it remains a biological enigma. It is protective, but not always. Its effects are not only sensory but also emotional. There is no way to measure it objectively, no test that comes back positive for pain; the only way a medical professional can gauge pain is by listening to the patient's description of it. The idea of pain as a test of character or a punishment to be borne is changing; prevention and treatment of pain are increasingly important to researchers, clinicians, and patients. Cervero's account brings us closer to understanding the meaning of pain.

In Understanding Abnormal Child Psychology, students will learn about both normative and abnormal development throughout children's lives. Consistent with previous editions, several themes run throughout the book:
Developmental psychopathology: Children's and adolescents' behaviors are on a continuum (from very adaptive to very maladaptive), with only the very severe ends of the spectrum being conceptualized as disorders.
Diversity, inclusion, and understanding: Special attention is given to issues of race/ethnicity, gender, family constellation, religious orientation, primary language, socioeconomic status, and physical differences to help students see the commonalities and differences of abnormal child behavior within a cross-cultural and international context.
New to the 4th edition
Completely revised in both structure and content to reflect the DSM-5
Increase coverage of risk factors related to long-term effects of sexual abuse and bullying.
Increased coverage of diversity to include new "diversities" that have emerged as important, i.e. transgender children
New research on suicide and suicide prevention

'No stress can kill us; it is our reaction to it that is accountable for damage.'
If you are a person who is more prone to stress and easily gets anxious, then you should seek help in this regard as stress is a common disability in today's world. If you have unsolved trauma in your past, we may live in a phase of perpetual fight-or-flight. However, due to stress and anxiety, you are suffering from various mood swings and tension, which can cause problems in your relationships with others.
This book will help you release your stress and find ways how the polyvagal approach can cause positive effects on your life. This hypothesis will help you discover the root cause of all your problems and bring you various solutions. As you must have guessed, this book mainly discusses the Polyvagal theory. The whole theory would open up in a detailed manner, taking you to the science of unknown responses of our nervous system, which will give you a better understanding of:
● What is the polyvagal theory? And How does it work?
● What is our body's response to stress, trauma, and fears that you must have never heard any time before?
● What are the strategies to cope up with the conditions you are facing?
● How to relax your mind and reduce the struggle with mental health
● How to get an idea of the working of the body
● How to fight in times of anxiety and trauma and help other people come out of that state.
This book will cover all the benefits of Polyvagal theory and tell you different methods to deal with stress, trauma, and depression, reduce anxiety, improve your lifestyle, and learn how to be a sound human being. However, it is a moderately complex theory but is the solution to all the stress and bodily disability.

Описание: Cerebral Palsy (CP) represents one of the most frequent neurological disorder in the infancy and in the childhood. It includes brain injuries or developmental defects. According to the World Health Organization, it is a main problem of public health. It may include communication, intellectual, and motor disabilities with negative consequences on children inclusion in daily life and caregivers burden. Rehabilitative interventions are primarily focused on promoting self-determination and independence of individuals with CP. Postural control, gait, and motor skills are usually embedded. Additionally, one may envisage request and choice programs aimed at enhancing the childs awareness of his/her own behavior. The volume summarizes some illustrative evidence-based contributions to emphasize the effectiveness and the suitability of the adopted programs. Beside stability of upper limbs and motor performance of children with CP (chapter one), the therapeutic effects of a horse riding simulator which was compared to a traditional physiotherapy on the sitting position of children with spastic CP (chapter two), the evaluation of stability in children with different form of CP was assessed through a rehabilitative platform was implemented (chapter three). The aforementioned experimental examinations presented between-groups investigations. Furthermore, four case-report studies were included. Assistive technology-based setups were used to promote an active role, constructive engagement, and positive participation of the enrolled children with CP and intellectual disabilities. The beneficial outcomes on their quality of life were considered. Chapter four describes a microswitch-based program to enhance ambulation responses of a child with CP. Chapter five provides a detailed illustration of such program to support locomotion fluency. Chapter six illustrates a cluster-technology aimed at pursuing the dual goal of fostering an adaptive response and reducing a challenging behavior. Chapter seven refers to a computerized system focused on enabling a child with CP and intellectual delays with academic performance and communication opportunities. Whenever available, the effects on indices of happiness and/or positive participation were analyzed. Social validation procedures involving external raters were conducted. Practical features of the retained treatments were privileged. Clinical, educational, psychological, and rehabilitative implications of the findings were systematically and critically discussed. Caregivers, educators, families of children with CP, practitioners, psychologists, speech and occupational therapists, medicine or psychology students, and teachers may find some useful insights for both research and practice in daily life settings.

Автор: Alina Gonzalez-Quevedo Название: Understanding and Treating Cerebral Small Vessel Disease ISBN: 1536189448 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781536189445 Издательство: Nova Science Рейтинг: Цена: 252370.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) silently affects a large part of the population, increasing in prevalence with age and with the presence of vascular risk factors. Its harmful effects on brain parenchyma increase the risk of stroke, cognitive decline and dementia, and it is responsible for a spectrum of symptoms that are much less obvious, such as unrecognized mild signs or symptoms of neurocognitive dysfunction, mild mood or behavioral disturbances, gait dysfunction, and a general decline in function generally attributed to normal aging. These consequences pose a heavy burden on patients, families and countries that need to be addressed. Understanding and Treating Cerebral Small Vessel Disease provides an insight into a broad area of research in this field, focusing on topics that deal with the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of CSVD, recent clinical and neuroimaging findings, biomarker developments, comorbidities, prevention strategies and emerging therapeutic options. The contents are distributed in five sections that span these topics. Section I, "Pathophysiology and Subtypes of Cerebral Small Vessels Disease", includes three chapters that deal with the prevalence of different forms of small-vessels disease in vascular cognitive impairment, and the pathophysiological mechanisms of CSVD. Section II, "New Approaches for Diagnosis and Treatment of CSVD", includes six chapters which deal with the microvascular assessment of CSVD through the study of retinal blood (chapter four), a global vision of brain MRI findings in CSVD (chapter five), and digital electroencephalographic changes and computerized analysis methods in CSVD (chapter six). Chapters seven, eight and nine approach the treatment of CSVD, from the assessment of advanced immunoactive therapy for CSVD to the use of non-pharmacological therapies such as transcranial magnetic stimulation and extracorporeal shock wave therapy. The targeting of key pathogenic mechanisms is also discussed in light of experimental data and clinical trials, as well as the introduction of neuroprotection in the treatment of symptomatic and asymptomatic CSVD. Section III, "Potential Biomarkers for CSVD", includes chapters 10-13 dedicated to the early detection of CSVD through brain MRI imaging and the development of alternative circulating biomarkers (brain specific proteins, inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers, autoantibodies). The application of these biomarkers in other conditions closely associated with small vessel neurovascular networks, such as migraine, is also discussed. Section IV, "Cerebral Small Vessels Disease and Comorbid Conditions" is comprised of five chapters (14-18) which approach the relationship of CSVD with infectious diseases (viral, bacterial and parasitic infections), highlighting findings in COVID-19. Conditions related with the nervous system, such as cognitive impairment, schizophrenia and chronic alcohol consumption in association with the development of small vessel pathology in the brain are also discussed. Section V includes chapter 19, which briefly summarizes the main topics presented in this book and offers a quick vision from the editors of future trends in microangiopathy diagnosis and treatment.
