Matthew Gibson – författare

Case Studies in Abdominal and Pelvic Imaging presents 100 case studies, covering both common every-day conditions of the abdomen and pelvis, as well as less common cases that junior doctors and radiologists in training should be aware of.

Compiled by experts in the field, Case Studies in Abdominal and Pelvic Imaging  uses the most up-to-date and high quality images, including plain films, CT scans, MRI scans and the occasional nuclear medicine image where relevant.

Each case is presented in a pedagogical style, with 1-4 images and accompanying questions, followed by answers and further relevant images.  This is then augmented by an explanation of the imaging and key teaching points with references for further reading, making this book a valuable learning guide in an accessible form.

What role does emotion play in child and family social work practice?

In this book, researcher Matthew Gibson reviews the role of shame and pride in social work, providing invaluable new insights from the first study undertaken into the role of these emotions within professional practice. The author demonstrates how these emotions, which are embedded within the very structures of society but experienced as individual phenomena, are used as mechanism of control in relation to both professionals themselves and service users.

Examining the implications of these emotional experiences in the context of professional practice and the relationship between the individual, the family and the state, the book calls for a more humane form of practice, rooted in more informed policies that take in to consideration the realities and frailties of the human experience.
