The riddle of melancholia has stumped generations of doctors. It is a serious depressive illness that often leads to suicide and premature death. The disease's link to biology has been intensively studied. Unlike almost any other psychiatric disorder, melancholia sufferers have abnormal endocrine functions. Tests capable of separating melancholia from other mood disorders were useful discoveries, but these tests fell into disuse as psychiatrists lost interest in biology and medicine. In the nineteenth century, theories about the role of endocrine organs encouraged endocrine treatments that loomed prominently in practice. This interest faded in the 1930s but was revived by the discovery of the adrenal hormone cortisol and descriptions of its abnormal functioning in melancholic and psychotic depressed patients. New endocrine tests were devised to plumb the secrets of mood disorders. Two colorful individuals, Bernard Carroll and Edward Sachar, led this revival and for a time in the 1960s and 1970s intensive research interest established connections between hormone dysfunctions and behavior. In the 1980s, psychiatrists lost interest in hormonal approaches largely because they did not correlate with the arbitrary classification of mood disorders. Today the relation between endocrines and behavior have been disregarded. This history traces the enthusiasm of biological efforts to solve the mystery of melancholia and their fall. Using vibrant language accessible to family care practitioners, psychiatrists and interested lay readers, the authors propose that a useful, a potentially live-saving connection between medicine and psychiatry, has been lost.

Do you have rushes of fear accompanied by a pounding heart, trembling, dizziness, and feelings of unreality that make you think you''re sick, dying, or losing your mind? Do these feelings interfere with your normal daily routine, or prevent you from doing things you would normally do? Do you find yourself seeking medical treatment for symptoms related to your panic?

Dieses Buch zeigt, dass Suizid nicht nur eine Folge einer psychischen Erkrankung ist, sondern eine Handlung, die mit der Lebensgeschichte eines Menschen zusammenhängt. Auf der Grundlage von Hunderten von Interviews mit suizidgefährdeten Patienten argumentiert der Autor, dass Suizid und Suizidversuche dann auftreten, wenn jemand extremen emotionalen Schmerz erlebt, der die Fähigkeit zu rationalem Denken und Handeln stark beeinträchtigt. Auf der Grundlage dieses Verständnisses entwickelten Michel und seine Kollegen einen personenzentrierten Behandlungsansatz, der die Grenzen des traditionellen medizinischen Modells überwindet. Durch eine kurze Therapie finden die Patienten ein persönlich bedeutsames, narratives Verständnis ihrer Selbstmordgedanken und -impulse. Gefährdete Menschen können lernen, ihre Schwachstellen zu erkennen, um mit potenziell lebensbedrohlichen Situationen umzugehen und sich selbst zu schützen. Michel unterstreicht die Bedeutung der Kommunikation: Medizinisches Fachpersonal muss mit den Patienten als Individuen in Kontakt treten, um spezifische Warnzeichen zu erkennen.Dieses ebenso einfühlsame wie klare Buch bietet einen wichtigen Einblick in die Suizidprävention und zeigt, wie eine veränderte Einstellung dazu beitragen kann, Leben zu retten. Es enthält praktische Ratschläge für gefährdete Menschen, mit besonderem Schwerpunkt auf jungen Menschen, sowie für Angehörige und Fachkräfte im Gesundheitswesen.

The idea of producing this book of case histories from general family prac­ tice was only a twinkle in the editors' eyes until October 1980, when in a room in the Marriott Hotel in New Orleans, the editors met with John Fry, Joseph Levenstein and Bill Jackson to discuss new book projects. The idea was put to the group, which endorsed it enthusiastically. Encouraged by this and by John Fry's advice, the conception of The Nature of General Family Practice took place. It was agreed that to illustrate the universal nature of general family prac­ tice it would be useful to collect case histories from all around the world, that for preference they should be brief, and that they should be ac­ companied by major questions and sub-questions, but no answers. The name 'Vignettes' was applied to these cases and their questions. Subsequently, well over a hundred family physicians were asked by letter to provide ten vignettes. Sixty doctors from ten countries accepted the invitation and forwarded their contributions during the second half of 1981. Almost all of those who, for a variety of reasons were unable to contribute, said they liked the idea and looked forward to using the final product. Altogether, over 600 vignettes were received, and 583 selected for final inclusion.

This case-based book illustrates and explores common cognitive biases and their consequences in the practice of medicine. The book begins with an introduction that explains the concept of cognitive errors and their importance in clinical medicine and current controversies within healthcare. The core of the book features chapters dedicated to particular cognitive biases; cases are presented and followed by a discussion of the clinician's rationale and an overview of the particular cognitive bias. Engaging and easy to read, this text provides strategies on minimizing cognitive errors in various medical and professional settings.

Praise for the first edition:‘…a unique book, written by a unique GP.

It describes a simple three-part approach to the consultation’s essential task, which is to convert a patient’s problem into a plan acceptable to both patient and doctor. It combines reader-friendly explanations, helpful illustrations and examples from everyday practice.Consulting in a Nutshell will help GPs at every career stage – from medical student to SCA candidate to experienced practitioner – to analyse, develop and grow their personal consulting style.

This book is a second edition of the 2019 volume of Islamophobia and Psychiatry. This update conveys how important and challenging the subject matter remains. The first edition of this book came at a time when Islamophobia was rising in the United States and elsewhere, and the adverse mental health repercussions were significant: disparagement of Muslims, Muslim fears of asking for help from psychiatry, undue fear of Muslims by others, and increased anxiety for Muslims, amongst others. Since then, Islamophobia has waxed and waned. Islamophobia plays a major role in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, and the psychological trauma ripples out into the world. Attention to Islamophobia in this volume is thereby applied to different countries and from different religious perspectives. The focus is on psychiatric aspects, including new topics such as a Hindu psychiatrist’s perspective, burnout in Muslims, learning the clinical influence of religion, a new psychiatric process to negotiate international conflict, and a unique dialogue between a Muslim psychiatrist and a Jewish psychiatrist, moderated by a Christian psychiatrist.  Notably, the editors were also able to secure a rare but needed Palestinian perspective on collective trauma from a psychiatrist with lived experiences in the West Bank. Valued chapters from the first edition have been retained and revised where necessary. First and foremost, this is a vital expert resource for all clinicians and clinicians in training who may encounter patients and colleagues struggling with Islamophobia, including for adults and child psychiatrists, psychologists, primary care physicians, counselors, social workers, nurses, administrators, and others. It is the fifth volume, following volumes on Islamophobia, Antisemitism, Christianity, and the Eastern traditions, in an unprecedented series on religions, spirituality and psychiatry.

This unique book is structured to give the reader a comprehensive view to understand the decline of hormones at midlife and the risks and benefits of evidence based hormonal treatments. The difference between bio-identical and synthetic hormones is shown.With this book the author intends to restore the trust of the mostly positive effects of hormone treatment during menopause.

Those hormones may even prevent age related diseases (arthralgia, osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases) if started at the right time frame directly after menopause, known as "window of opportunity". This book fills a gap for medical health providers and can be of benefit for all women searching evidence-based information and answers on hormone menopausal changes and treatments. The book provides the reader with case histories to show how different women are at the menopausal transition, and what the doctor has to consider in the choice of investigation and treatment.
