Om du är redo att låsa upp potentialen i ditt nervsystem och återta kontrollen över ditt mående, är det här din ultimata handbok. Du kommer inte bara att få en omfattande förståelse för ditt nervsystems otroliga förmågor utan också lära dig hur du praktiskt tillämpar denna kunskap för att skapa motståndskraft och känslomässig balans. Nervsystemsreglering är bron som sammanlänkar vår psykologi - hur vi tänker och känner - med vår fysiologi - våra autonoma kroppsliga funktioner. Den vanligaste feluppfattningen gällande nervsystemsreglering är att vi ska sträva mot att ha ett konstant lugnt nervsystem. Ett lugnt nervsystem är inte det samma som ett friskt eller starkt nervsystem. Vad du vill ha är ett motståndskraftigt nervsystem som klarar av hög energi, likväl som att ta det lugnt. Vägen dit ramas in av teoretisk kännedom om hur du fungerar, och upplevs via kroppen. Den här boken är för dig som vill få en djupgående, teoretisk och praktisk förståelse för hur du kan träna upp ett motståndskraftigt nervsystem. Så att du får en långsiktig och varaktig förändring, blir bättre på att hantera stress och finner trygghet i dig själv. Veronica Löwenbok är en av de främsta utbildarna inom nervsystemsreglering. Med examen i psykologi, inriktad på stress och emotioner, samt 10 års erfarenhet av att utbilda bland annat yogalärare, psykologer och fysioterapeuter har hon utvecklat både teoretisk och praktisk förståelse för vad som krävs för att få ett reglerat nervsystem. I linje med Veronicas karaktäristiska pedagogiska skicklighet tillgängliggör hon vetenskapen bakom hur fysiologi, stress och psykologi samverkar i denna ovärderliga handbok i nervsystemsreglering. "Veronica har med en konkret riktning skrivit en tillgänglig och meningsfull bok om det här viktiga ämnet. Hon problematiserar och skapar en nyanserad bild kring de olika modeller och teorier som förklarar nervsystemsreglering, vilket är välkommet! Övningarna som beskrivs är enkla och effektiva tekniker som vi använder i vården och jag lär ut liknande tekniker på traumakursen för vårdpersonal som ges via Karolinska Institutet." - Petra Kalla, fysioterapeut med magisterexamen i smärtbehandling samt lärare i kroppsbaserad traumabehandling vid Karolinska Institutet. "I en tid av 'too much, too fast, too soon' känns det klockrent med denna pedagogiska och klartänkta bok som visar hur vi kan trygga oss själva och varandra. Bortom Instagrams grunda lärdomar om nervsystemsreglering kommer här en bibel för alla som vill lära sig mer om kontaktytan mellan kroppen och knoppen. Rekommenderas!" - Lyckopsykologen och författaren Katarina Blom. "Den här boken är ett viktigt bidrag till förståelsen av hur somatiken påverkar psykologin och vice versa. Den kan hjälpa både den som för egen del söker en djupare förståelse för kroppen, men även den som i sitt yrke möter människor i behov av stöd." - Eveliina Sinisalo, Socionom specialiserad på stress, trauma & våld mot kvinnor. "”I en tid där ord som ”traumaanpassad” och ”nervsystemsreglering” liberalt strösslas över både det ena och andra inom coaching-, samtalsterapeut- och yogalärarvärlden är Vevves bok både högst relevant och viktig läsning. Med vetenskaplig förankring går hon metodiskt igenom vad som händer i nervsystemet vid stress och trauma, och hur vi med medvetenhet, kunskap och övning kan skapa en mer motståndskraftig, men också flexibel respons. Boken rekommenderas varmt till alla som vill lära sig mer om nervsystemet och dess funktion, hur kroppen/knoppen och känslor hänger ihop samt vad du själv kan göra för att bryta gamla vanor/mönster. Rekommenderas varmt." - Monika Björn, fil kand. Idrottsvetenskap & psykologi och författare till Stark genom klimakteriet.

På neonatalavdelningarna i Sverige vårdas såväl fullgångna nyfödda som för tidigt födda barn. Anpassningen till livet efter födelsen är en omfattande fysiologisk omställning, som leder till att var tionde nyfött barn har behov av neonatalvård. I denna tredje reviderade upplaga av Neonatologi har boken indelats i fem delar för att beskriva de olika aspekterna av neonatalvård beroende på barnets sjukdomstillstånd.Del 1 fokuserar på den prenatala utvecklingen och omställningen vid födelsen. I del 2 och 3 beskrivs det för tidigt födda barnets och det fullgångna barnets specifika tillstånd. Fördjupat fokus på hur olika organsystem som hjärnan, hjärtat, lungan, njurar, urinvägar, tarmar m.fl. påverkas vid för tidig födelse, vid missbildningar eller vid komplikationer under graviditet och förlossning hos fullgångna beskrivs i del 4. Den sista delen, del 5, innehåller kapitel om praktisk neonatalvård till exempel patientnära diagnostik, transporter, organisation av vårdkedjan inom neonatalvården och uppföljning av barn som erhållit neonatalvård. Slutligen finns det ett kapitel om rättsliga och etiska ramar i neonatalvården.Neonatologi vänder sig i första hand till studenter på läkarprogrammet samt läkare under specialistutbildning. Även sjuksköterskor under specialistutbildning rekommenderas denna bok. Yrkesverksamma i hälso- och sjukvården som kommer i kontakt med nyfödda barn, exempelvis dietister, fysioterapeuter, farmaceuter och psykologer kan också ha nytta av att läsa denna uppdaterade bok.

Multiculturalism is a prevalent worldwide societal phenomenon. Aspects of our modern life, such as migration, economic globalization, multicultural policies, and cross-border travel and communication have made intercultural contacts inevitable. High numbers of multicultural individuals (23-43% of the population by some estimates) can be found in many nations where migration has been strong (e.g., Australia, U.S., Western Europe, Singapore) or where there is a history of colonization (e.g., Hong Kong). Many multicultural individuals are also ethnic and cultural minorities who are descendants of immigrants, majority individuals with extensive multicultural experiences, or people with culturally mixed families; all people for whom identification and/or involvement with multiple cultures is the norm. Despite the prevalence of multicultural identity and experiences, until the publication of this volume, there has not yet been a comprehensive review of scholarly research on the psychological underpinning of multiculturalism. The Oxford Handbook of Multicultural Identity fills this void. It reviews cutting-edge empirical and theoretical work on the psychology of multicultural identities and experiences. As a whole, the volume addresses some important basic issues, such as measurement of multicultural identity, links between multilingualism and multiculturalism, the social psychology of multiculturalism and globalization, as well as applied issues such as multiculturalism in counseling, education, policy, marketing and organizational science, to mention a few. This handbook will be useful for students, researchers, and teachers in cultural, social, personality, developmental, acculturation, and ethnic psychology. It can also be used as a source book in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on identity and multiculturalism, and a reference for applied psychologists and researchers in the domains of education, management, and marketing.

This engrossing collection of prison memoirs by Russian women is the first to portray the direct experiences of the wide range of women who were incarcerated in Soviet prisons and camps. Comprising the stories of women from all classes and backgrounds, this book covers the entire span of the Gulag's existence from the 1920s to the 1980s, including the little-known periods of political repression of the 1960s and 1980s. These memoirs and letters provide a rich portrait of how women led everyday life in prison and in the camps, of the strategies of accommodation and resistance they employed, and the challenges they faced when they reentered Soviet society. Although readers will hear the voices of women who were in excruciating physical and emotional pain, they will also find remarkable testimonies to the agency and resilience of women who struggled against incredible odds. Written by women from all stations in life and from drastically different backgrounds, these stories reconstruct not only the world of the Gulag but also its meaning for society at large. The documents excerpted here point to areas of Soviet history and culture that have yet to be fully investigated as they illuminate women's experiences of friendship, work, hope, inspiration, loss, and terror. All the works selected for the collection are united by their authors' sense of group and individual identity. To varying degrees, all of them associate their experiences with events and people beyond their personal experiences and immediate surroundings, thus expanding the traditional perspective of women's writing. These riveting stories, never before published in English or Russian, will appeal to scholars and students of Soviet history and literature, as well as general readers interested in women's history.

This book follows the personal and professional journeys of three Jewish women from Budapest, originally classmates in the same high school. The book shows how they and their families were marked by the Shoah, and explores the impact of the social, cultural, and political milieu in which they travelled upon their development as psychoanalysts. Following an introduction by the Hungarian psychoanalyst, Judit Mészáros, who gives a broad historical review of Hungarian Jewry during the Shoah and the Soviet era, the three authors provide autobiographical accounts of their own psychoanalytic evolution and interconnectedness. They describe their motivations for emigrating from Hungary, their early struggles to fit in, and their eventual acculturation. The authors explore their coming of age as clinicians in their adopted homelands and explain how their theoretical orientation and clinical styles were shaped by their respective analytic environments, their training experiences, and their own personal histories. They offer clinical vignettes to illustrate their respective psychoanalytic perspective. The book closes with an afterword from American psychoanalyst, Adrienne Harris, who contemplates the authors’ immigration experiences alongside her own.Replete with personal, cultural, and political history, this book will prove both informative and fascinating for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists as well as the general public.

This volume studies the manifestations of female trauma through the exploration of multiple wounds, inflicted on both body and mind (Caruth 1996, 3) and the soul of Irish women from Northern Ireland and the Republic within a contemporary context, and in literary works written at the turn of the twenty-first century and beyond. These artistic manifestations connect tradition and modernity, debunk myths, break the silence with the exposure of uncomfortable realities, dismantle stereotypes and reflect reality with precision. Women’s issues and female experiences depicted in contemporary fiction may provide an explanation for past and present gender dynamics, revealing a pathway for further renegotiation of gender roles and the achievement of equilibrium and equality between sexes. These works might help to seal and heal wounds both old and new and offer solutions to the quandaries of tomorrow.

A consummate classic with a fresh approach to pediatric dermatologyChildren's skin is different. Maturation affects the epidermal barrier, the cutaneous microbiome, adnexal structures, vasculature, and transcutaneous absorption of drugs. The immature skin is more susceptible to pathogens and environmental disruption. Many genetic disorders are either present at birth or manifest early in childhood. Skin diseases thus present differently in children than in adults. Pediatric dermatology has seen significant advances over the last decade, particularly in the field of molecular genetics research, which has furthered our understanding of the pathogenesis of many skin diseases and the development of new approaches to treatment.This fourth edition of the Harper classic provides state-of-the-art information on all aspects of skin disease in children. It covers the diagnosis and treatment of all conditions - both common and rare - with a consistently evidence-based approach. Existing content has been refreshed and fully updated to reflect emerging thinking and to incorporate the latest in research and clinical data - especially at the genetic level.This new fourth edition includes: Greater focus on the genetics behind skin disease, including new genes/genodermatoses, progress in genetic analysis, and stem cell transplantsIncreased coverage of lasers and other technologies used to treat skin diseaseMore summary tables, learning points, tables of differential diagnosis, and clinical algorithms for diagnosis and managementAdditional online features, including patient information links and multiple choice questionsHarper's Textbook of Pediatric Dermatology delivers crucial clinical insights and up-to-date research information that spans the breadth of the field. As the most comprehensive reference book on this subject available, this revised fourth edition will support and guide the daily practice of both dermatologists and pediatricians across the world.

Originally published in 1993, the previous decade had seen considerable development in the field of neuropsychological rehabilitation following brain damage, and the use of computerized methods attracted attention and stimulated controversy. This practically-oriented text reviews representative examples from the literature at the time relating to the training of cognitive systems with the emphasis on studies describing the use of computerized methods. The topic is discussed in context and the contents include sections on cognitive change in neurological disorders, assessment techniques, the interaction between cognition and behaviour and the advantages and disadvantages of the use of microcomputers. The authors describe the evaluation of a computerized cognitive retraining programme run at the Regional Neurological Centre in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and draw on their experience of running such programmes to give practical guidance to those wishing to set up cognitive retraining programmes.
