Boken Psykisk ohälsa hos äldre av Susanne Rolfner Suvanto ger kunskap för att upptäcka, förstå och förebygga psykisk ohälsa hos äldre samt råd om bemötande och förhållningssätt. Här finns också fallbeskrivningar och diskussionsfrågor. Budskapet är att psykisk ohälsa inte är en naturlig del av åldrandet utan ett tillstånd som går att behandla och ofta bota. Var femte person över 65 år beräknas lida av psykisk ohälsa. Dit hör bland annat depression, ångesttillstånd, substansbrukssyndrom och psykossjukdomar. Men trots att så många äldre drabbas uppmärksammas denna ohälsa betydligt mindre än till exempel demenssjukdomar. Många får inte heller den vård och omsorg de behöver. Psykisk ohälsa hos äldre är den andra och omarbetade upplagan av Mellan äldreomsorg och psykiatri. Boken vänder sig främst till personal inom vård och omsorg om äldre personer, men även till studerande. Den kan också användas som studiematerial, inte minst i diskussioner kring bemötande och fördomar. Observera att innehållet i denna bok är identiskt med föregående upplaga.

I mötet med psykisk ohälsa, räcker det inte med ”tunna” diagnoser och förklaringar som riskerar att stigmatisera och ge människor en stämplad identitet. För en djupare förståelse behövs ”tjocka” beskrivningar. Sådana kan endast växa fram i en öppen dialogprocess där människors unika berättelser blir lyssnade på med respekt.
Utifrån kvalitativa forskningsintervjuer med personer som vill ”leva med Jesus” och som samtidigt lever under någon av diagnoserna depression, schizofreni och bipolär sjukdom, strävar John Swinton i boken Möta Jesus i stormen efter just en sådan djupare förståelse. Han reflekterar teologiskt – i dialog med medicinska, psykologiska och filosofiska perspektiv – över såväl samhällets som psykiatrins och kyrkans bemötanden, och hur ett helande bortom botandet kan se ut.
Resultatet är en enastående och prisbelönad bok som handlar om personer i stället för symtom, beskrivningar i stället för diagnoser och om ett livgivande hopp för de som lever mitt i stormen. Boken vänder sig till alla som på något sätt berörs av psykiska hälsoutmaningar, oavsett om man arbetar inom kyrkan eller vården, vill vara en god medvandrare eller själv lever med en sådan utmaning.
John Swinton är professor i praktisk teologi vid Aberdeens universitet i Skottland, med särskild inriktning mot området teologi och funktionsvariation. Swinton har en mångårig bakgrund som sjuksköterska inom bland annat psykiatrin, har grundat Aberdeens Centre for Spirituality, Health, and Disability och är en flitigt anlitad föreläsare världen över.

Det psykiska lidandet är omfattande i millennieskiftets Sverige. Utbrändhet, stressrelaterat trötthetssyndrom, depression, självskärande, övervikt, anorexi, asperger och ADHD är bara några av namnen. Den allt starkare medikaliseringen och psykiatriseringen av människors psykologiska och sociala problem gör att biomedicinens tolkningsföreträde vid dessa tillstånd sällan ifrågasätts. I boken möts forskare och kliniska praktiker kring kontroversiella frågor som rör psykiskt lidande och den behandling som erbjuds. – Är utbrändhet en sjukdom? Hur uppstår nya former av psykiskt lidande? – Vad är normalt resp. avvikande uppförande? Har området för det normala blivit snävare? – Hur skapas en diagnos? – Är ADHD en vetenskaplig diagnos? – Finns det en pendelrörelse mellan att betona arv resp. miljö som orsaker till psykiskt lidande? – Är medicin alltid billigare än psykoterapi? – Är det pengarna som styr skapandet av ny kunskap? – Vilka förhållanden gynnar forskningsfusk och hur bevaras forskarnas integritet. Redaktören Gunilla Hallerstedt skisserar i sin introduktion de senaste decenniernas samhällsförändringar, de nya formerna av psykiskt lidande och sätt att tala om dem. Karin Johannisson, professor i idé- och lärdomshistoria i Uppsala, hävdar att diagnosen fungerar som en kommentar till samhället, ett gränsvärde för vad som uppfattas som normalt, rimligt och acceptabelt. Sigmund Soback, chef för Psykoterapienheten vid Stockholms läns landsting, ger en överblick över sjukdomsstatistik. 1998-2003 ökade antalet nyanmälda långtidssjukskrivna pga utbrändhet, depression eller svår stress nästan fem gånger – bland människor under 35 år har siffran nästan 9-dubblats. Men vilken hjälp får de? Och vad betyder evidensbaserad behandling på psykoterapins område? Enligt Eva Kärfve, docent i sociologi i Lund, har den biologiska människosynen varit dominerande i många sekler; förklaringen till särdrag och egenheter har varit blodsarv. Hur slår det igenom i synen på avvikelser och vid diagnosticering? Thomas Brante, professor i sociologi i Lund, granskar den amerikanska psykiatrin och kontroversen kring diagnosen ADHD. Aant Elzinga, vetenskapsteoretiker och prof. emeritus, reflekterar utifrån de tidigare inläggen och visar hur forskarvärlden, entreprenörsvärlden och den politiska världen är insnärjda i varandra.

A practical and transformative 5-step strategy to ensure the emotional wellbeing of yourself and your childThe mental wellbeing of children and adults is shockingly poor. Marc Brackett, author of Permission to Feel, knows why and what we can do. Marc Brackett is a professor in Yale University's Child Study Center and in his 25 years as an emotion scientist, he has developed a remarkably effective plan to improve the lives of children and adults - a blueprint for understanding our emotions and using them wisely so that they help, rather than hinder, our success and well-being. The core of his approach is a legacy from his childhood, from an astute uncle who gave him permission to feel. He was the first adult who managed to see Marc, listen to him, and recognise the suffering, bullying, and abuse he'd endured. In the decades since, Marc has led large research teams and raised tens of millions of dollars to investigate the roots of emotional wellbeing. His prescription for healthy children (and their parents, teachers, and schools) is a system called RULER, a high-impact and effective approach to understanding and mastering emotions that has already transformed the thousands of schools that have adopted it. RULER has been proven to reduce stress and burnout, improve school climate, and enhance academic achievement. This book is his way to share the strategies and skills with readers around the world. It is tested, and it works.

Deep Brain Reorienting introduces a novel, evidence-based approach to the treatment of trauma-related disorders. Steeped in neuroscience, this book builds on recent scientific contributions to the effects of shock, trauma, and neglect on the brain at the deepest levels. Enhanced by detailed case material and underpinned by a strong theoretical framework, the authors give special attention to clinically significant forms of dissociation, as well as attachment wounding and its treatment. This neurobiologically informed focus offers fresh perspectives, reaching beneath the level of cognitive, affective, and defensive components of traumatic responding.Written at the interface of neuroscience and psychotherapy, this book will be invaluable to psychotherapists whose clinical practice is calling for new ways to work with the effects of traumatic experiences. In addition, several hypotheses will appeal to research-oriented psychotherapists and clinically-led researchers in a range of fields.

School absenteeism is a pervasive and difficult problem faced by mental health and school-based professionals. Even in mild forms, school absenteeism has been shown to be a significant risk factor for social, behavioral, and academic problems in middle childhood and adolescence, as well as psychiatric, economic, and occupational difficulties in adulthood. Problematic absenteeism has been examined for decades by professionals of many different disciplines, leading to a considerably fractured literature. Managing School Absenteeism at Multiple Tiers provides an integrative strategy for preventing, assessing, and addressing cases of youth with school absenteeism at multiple levels of severity and complexity. Dr. Christopher Kearney presents a multi-tiered framework based on prevention (Tier 1), early intervention for emerging cases (Tier 2), and more extensive intervention and systemic strategies for severe cases (Tier 3). Each tier is based on empirically supported strategies from the literature, and emphasis is placed on specific, implementable recommendations. This approach is based on a Response to Intervention model that has emerged as a powerful guide to prevention, assessment, and treatment of social and academic problems in schools. Response to Intervention is based upon tenets that parallel developments in the school absenteeism literature: (1) a proactive focus on early identification of learning and behavior problems and immediate, effective intervention, (2) universal, targeted, and intensive interventions, (3) frequent progress monitoring, (4) functional behavioral assessment, (5) empirically supported treatment procedures and protocols to reduce obstacles to academic achievement (including absenteeism), and (6) a team-based approach for implementation. This user-friendly, practical guide will be useful to mental health professionals, school administrators, guidance counselors, social workers and psychologists, as well as others who address kids with problematic absenteeism such as pediatricians and probation officers.

The distinguished historian of medicine Gerald Grob analyzes the post-World War II policy shift that moved many severely mentally ill patients from large state hospitals to nursing homes, families, and subsidized hotel rooms--and also, most disastrously, to the streets. On the eve of the war, public mental hospitals were the chief element in the American mental health system. Responsible for providing both treatment and care and supported by major portions of state budgets, they employed more than two-thirds of the members of the American Psychiatric Association and cared for nearly 98 percent of all institutionalized patients. This study shows how the consensus for such a program vanished, creating social problems that tragically intensified the sometimes unavoidable devastation of mental illness. Examining changes in mental health care between 1940 and 1970, Grob shows that community psychiatric and psychological services grew rapidly, while new treatments enabled many patients to lead normal lives.Acute services for the severely ill were expanded, and public hospitals, relieved of caring for large numbers of chronic or aged patients, developed into more active treatment centers. But since the main goal of the new policies was to serve a broad population, many of the most seriously ill were set adrift without even the basic necessities of life. By revealing the sources of the euphemistically designated policy of "community care," Grob points to sorely needed alternatives. Originally published in 1991. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

This groundbreaking volume, published by the American Psychological Association in partnership with the International Union of Psychological Science, provides a detailed guide to clinical diagnosis by psychologists and other health professionals based on the eleventh revision of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (ICD- ).The ICD- was adopted by the World Health Assembly in 2 9 and came into effect as the global standard for health information and reporting in 2 22. The ICD is the diagnostic system for mental disorders most widely used by mental health professionals around the world in their day-to-day clinical practice. This edited volume offers a step-by-step approach to diagnosis, giving mental health professionals around the world the tools they need to apply ICD- diagnostic requirements for mental, behavioral, and neurodevelopmental disorders as the basis for delivering high quality, evidence-informed care.A psychological approach to diagnosis is a conceptually driven, person-oriented, biopsychosociocultural formulation that integrates pertinent history, behavior, symptoms, phenomenology, and functioning. A psychological approach focuses on psychological mechanisms and principles as an aspect of diagnostic practice and case formulation, regardless of professional discipline. The chapters of this book cover the major groupings of mental disorder as well as related areas that are important parts of psychological practice, such as sexual dysfunctions, sleep-wake disorders, and relationship problems and maltreatment. The authors of this book are leading global experts in each area, many of whom were integrally involved in developing the respective sections of the ICD- . Authors describe the overarching logic for the classificatory arrangement and the elements of a psychological approach to the set of disorders discussed in each chapter, including psychological models for conceptualizing their symptoms and recommendations for psychological assessment. The chapters also discuss presentations and symptom patterns for each major group of disorders, specifiers and subtypes, the threshold between normal variation and disorder, differential diagnoses, co-occurring disorders, developmental course, cultural and contextual considerations, and gender-related features. A Psychological Approach to Diagnosis is the first comprehensive training resource on WHO amp rsquo s ICD- classification of mental, behavioural and neurodevelopmental disorders. It provides practicing psychologists and other mental health professionals, primary care clinicians, educators, and trainees with essential tools for the competent practice of diagnosis using the ICD- as a framework.

Contemporary research on major emotional disorders emphasizes their commonalities rather than their differences. This research continues to lend support for a unified transdiagnostic approach to treatment of these disorders that considers their commonalities and is applicable to a range of emotional problems.Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders provides an alternative to disorder-specific treatments of various emotional disorders, designed to be applicable to the wide range of anxiety and other disorders with strong emotional components. The Therapist Guide and accompanying client Workbook present an eight-module therapy program that puts substantial emphasis on emotion-focused approaches, helping clients confront and experience challenging emotions while teaching them how to regulate those emotions. Expanded considerably in this second edition, the volume provides guidance on using the Unified Protocol (UP) to address problems not only with anxiety, but also with depression, eating disorders, non-suicidal self-injury, substance use, and anger. Treatment procedures have been further elucidated and more guidance is provided to practitioners on how to present key treatment concepts. Chapters brand new to this updated edition introduce functional assessment and describe how to provide the UP in a group format, while patient materials have been revised, streamlined, and made more user-friendly.

What is person-centred dementia care, and how can it be used to improve care for people from diagnosis to end of life? How can we improve services in people's own homes, in care homes, in supported housing and in hospitals? This substantially updated second edition considers recent developments in person-centred care, presenting refreshed guidelines for practice.Dawn Brooker and Isabelle Latham explain the evolution of the key principles of person-centred care that comprise the VIPS model. They describe how it has been applied in diverse service settings, and show how to put the model into practice. A new chapter dedicated to culture of care will help service managers to get to grips with this slippery concept, and includes important information on how to guard against neglectful practice. Case studies from the CHOICE programme, a research project on culture of care, demonstrate the key factors that are important for people living with advanced dementia and complex needs to live well.

This Element's contribution explores the historiography of madness in the Modern era, including landmark publications in the overlapping fields of the history of psychiatry and the history of lunatic asylums. As this examination of almost 200 academic works will demonstrate, the field is vast and highly contested, with researchers sometimes disagreeing about the basic terms of analysis. Nevertheless, from Foucault to Fanon, from Goffman to Gilman, these debates about social and medical responses to madness have inspired some of the most influential academic scholarship of the twentieth century. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

The original Dementia Reconsidered: The Person Comes First by Tom Kitwood was published by Open University Press in 1997. It was a seminal text in the field of dementia studies and is still cited and referenced as core reading on person-centred dementia care. Tom died unexpectedly, just 12 months after the book was published. This book continues to inspire many people to challenge simplistic paradigms about dementia. Since the original book was written, however, there have been many changes in our understanding of dementia.The editor of this new edition, Dawn Brooker was mentored by Tom Kitwood. She has drawn together a remarkable group of writers to provide a commentary on Kitwood’s work. This new edition reproduces the original chapters but provides extra content from subject experts to update the book to a contemporary level.
Dementia Reconsidered Re-visited is an ideal main text or supplementary text for all those studying or working in nursing, medicine, psychiatry, psychology, occupational therapy, social work, adult education, gerontology and health and social care more generally.“This important book does three things. It brings to a new generation the insight and vision of Tom Kitwood. It highlights the remarkable progress we have made in recent years. But most important of all it reminds us what still needs to be done if we are to fully respect the rights of people with dementia and their family care-givers. Kitwood inspired Alzheimer’s Society to knit together research, care, and societal change. We are now re-inspired to make sure all progress is evidenced and evaluated for its impact. We must realise the enormous opportunities the digital age offers people affected by dementia but in doing so constantly listen to and learn from their many and varied voices across nations and cultures.”Jeremy Hughes CBE, Chief Executive, Alzheimer's Society, UK

An examination of how suicide prevention efforts largely fail due to the mistaken assumption that greater mental health awareness is the key to saving lives. Over the last two decades, the US suicide rate has steadily grown despite extensive awareness campaigns, wide implementation of suicide prevention programs and initiatives, and increased mental health advocacy. To the confusion and frustration of researchers, healthcare providers, and many others, these efforts have largely failed to reverse the trend. Why do suicide rates continue to climb despite our best efforts? Why aren't we better at this? What are we doing wrong? Rethinking Suicide is a critical examination of what we think we know about suicide, with particular focus on the assumed role of mental illness. Craig J. Bryan, a leading expert on suicide prevention, argues that most prevention efforts have failed because they disproportionately emphasize mental health-focused solutions such as access to treatment and crisis services. Instead of classifying suicide as a mental health issue, careful analysis of research findings suggest it should instead be seen as a highly complex problem with many risk factors - from personal decision-making styles, to the availability of lethal means, to financial uncertainty. As such suicide rates will not be curtailed by conventional solution-oriented thinking; rather, we need process-based thinking that may, in some cases, defy or contradict many of our long-held assumptions about suicide. Rethinking Suicide interweaves the author's firsthand experiences with explanations of scientific findings to reveal the limitations of widely-used practices and to introduce new perspectives that may trigger a paradigm shift in how we understand and prevent suicide.

A provocative and shocking look at how western society is misunderstanding and mistreating mental illness. Perfect for fans of Empire of Pain and Dope Sick.In Britain alone, more than 20% of the adult population take a psychiatric drug in any one year. This is an increase of over 500% since 1980 and the numbers continue to grow. Yet, despite this prescription epidemic, levels of mental illness of all types have actually increased in number and severity.Using a wealth of studies, interviews with experts, and detailed analysis, Dr James Davies argues that this is because we have fundamentally mischaracterised the problem. Rather than viewing most mental distress as an understandable reaction to wider societal problems, we have embraced a medical model which situates the problem solely within the sufferer and their brain. Urgent and persuasive, Sedated systematically examines why this individualistic view of mental illness has been promoted by successive governments and big business - and why it is so misplaced and dangerous.

"Varje gång depressionerna och ångesten bet sig fast så hårt att jag inte ville leva längre fanns Patrick också kvar, ibland i timmar, så att han var försäkrad om att jag kunde lägga mig och sova utan demoner. Återigen hasade jag mig ifrån datorn. Vad Patrick inte visste den här gången var att jag kröp på knäna och lade mig på hallgolvet i fosterställning. Tårarna kom inte lika intensivt. Hårisarna, det vill säga mina katter Selma och Foppa, kom nyfiket fram och undrade vad matte gjorde. Nosade, gosade och spann. Jag blev varm inombords av deras villkorslösa kärlek. Jag vet inte om de gick eller var kvar när jag slutligen somnade utmattad på det skitiga hallgolvet…" Så skriver Cecilia Asp i sin självbiografi som handlar om hennes kamp mot bipolär sjukdom. Cecilia Asp gick in i en djup depression mitt i sitt liv. En evighetskarusell pågick i sjukdomens självmordstankar, ångest, depression och manier som började. Hon insjuknade som 30-åring och fick sin diagnos ett några år senare. Hela hennes liv förändrades totalt och Cecilia blev tvungen att helt förändra sitt sätt att leva. Med Cecilia Asps bok "Med mitt liv i mina händer - att leva med bipolär sjukdom" för Cecilia vår förståelse för bipolär sjukdom till en ny nivå. Hennes detaljerade beskrivningar om vad känslan innebär att vara psykisk sjuk är främmande för många. Smärta, läkarbesök, terapi. Med boken "Med mitt liv i mina händer - att leva med bipolär sjukdom" vill Cecilia Asp berätta att den här boken handlar inte bara om henne, att den handlar om att belysa ett stort folkhälsoproblem. Hon tycker att det verkar finnas en kollektiv skam över att vara psykisk sjuk. Kunskapen är inte tillräckligt etablerad även om det gått framåt. Cecilia Asp tycker det är ett samhälleligt ansvar, mediciner och enträgna skrik och böner kan ibland vara vardag. Cecilia Asp har en viktig historia att berätta där smärtan river så hårt att läsaren inte kan lägga boken ifrån sig. Boken hon skrivit är en självbiografisk berättelse. Den är brutalt utlämnande och gripande. "En guidad tur på livets motorväg, som tar dig med på en naken resa... några varv i rondellen bland sjukvård, rehabilitering, försäkringskassan, känslor och arbete... åter ut på motorvägen i full fart... boken som nu landat i din hand kommer ge dig en levande insyn i hur det är att upptäcka, vårdas för och lära sig att leva med en diagnos" / Sophia Björklund Cecilia Asp lotsar läsaren genom sin bipolära sjukdoms alla irrgångar på ett personligt och insiktsfullt sätt. En gripande levnadsteckning och en viktig bok för att döda alla fördomar som fortfarande omger psykisk ohälsa. / Monica Kolkman
