The Future Public Health - Andrew Lyon - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

“This excellent book could not be more timely. It must now be apparent to almost everyone that we cannot go on as we have done in the past … The authors set out a vision of a future in which we have rebalanced our relationship with the world around us. They give us a sense of purpose and reason for hope that, together, we might be able to attain it.” Professor Martin McKee CBE, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK “This book grounds the new approach to public health in systems thinking, challenges mantras of modernity and prioritizes sustainability and well-being. Read it and take the third public health revolution the next step forward.” Professor Ilona Kickbusch, Director Global Health Programme, The Graduate Institute, Geneva, Switzerland “With the emerging evidence from the Human Genome Project that genes play little part in the genesis of most illness, this is a particularly timely book: it shows the central part that public health interventions must play in creating a healthy population.” Oliver James, Broadcaster, journalist, clinical psychologist and bestselling book author Obesity, depression, addiction, loss of wellbeing: these are issues which sap the resources and spirit of modern practitioners. Public health is being challenged by the existence of an ''ingenuity gap'' – the gap between an interacting kaleidoscope of problems and our capacity to respond effectively. This innovative text bridges the gap between current public health values and skills and those required to tackle future challenges. The authors introduce the key models and theories of public health, as well as the factors that have shaped its history and development. The book also: - - - Establishes the links between current public health problems and emerging threats like global warming and resource depletion - - Explores the true nature of modern and emerging threats to health - - Creates a new model for the ‘future public health’ - - Explores what these changes will mean for the future public health practitioner This is a book which sets out the reasons why we need a fundamentally new approach to public health and explores how this might be achieved. The Future Public Health is informed by a six year research project, commissioned by the Scottish Government, to trace the development of our current situation and look for solutions to the challenges facing public health.

Dementia and Ethics Reconsidered - Julian Hughes - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

Dementia and Ethics Reconsidered - Julian Hughes - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

“In this masterful book, Julian Hughes makes a convincing case that many acts in clinical and care practice are ethical matters. Hughes takes us gently through a jungle of philosophical ideas and explores a series of ethical issues in dementia care, such as diagnosis, covert medication and end of life care. His humanity shines through as he favours a values-based approach to care, and concludes by declaring (in the spirit of Tom Kitwood) that the person must be placed first in order to do what is right and good for people living with dementia. A must-have volume for practitioners, social scientists and enlightened general readers.” Tom Dening, Professor of Dementia Research, School of Medicine, University of Nottingham, UK “This book is totally brilliant. The outstanding author Dr. Julian Hughes must now be considered the foremost ethicist of his generation when it comes to caring for individuals with dementia … This is now the book that everyone who cares about dementia and ethics must read, discuss, and implement. It is a huge contribution.” Stephen G. Post PhD, Director, Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care & BioethicsStony Brook University School of Medicine, USA “This book should be an essential read for all of us who support and navigate the ethical issues relating to people with dementia and their families.” Paul Edwards, Director of Clinical Services, Dementia UKEthical issues are involved in every decision that is made in connection with someone living with dementia – from decisions about care and treatment to decisions about research and funding.This book encourages the reader to reconsider ethics in dementia care with the use of ‘patterns of practice’, an innovative idea developed by the author. The book highlights the importance of understanding the person’s narrative, of good communication, high quality care, and expert interpretation of the meaning of situations for people living with dementia. This book: • Reviews ethical theories and approaches in connection with dementia care • Considers issues such as such as stigma, quality of life, personhood, and citizenship in relation to dementia • Looks at issues relevant to research ethics • Presents case vignettes to highlight a complete spectrum of ethical issues that arise in dementia care • Is accessibly written for multiple audiences – from people living with dementia to practitioners Dementia and Ethics Reconsidered is a comprehensive account of thought and practice in relation to ethical issues that arise in the context of dementia care, which seeks to show how ethical thinking can be put into practice and prove relevant to day-to-day experience.The Reconsidering Dementia Series is an interdisciplinary series published by Open University Press that covers contemporary issues to challenge and engage readers in thinking deeply about the topic.

Dementia and Psychotherapy Reconsidered - Richard Cheston - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

"Rik Cheston is one of the pioneers of psychotherapy in dementia. This book integrates his clinical expertise and research, and is brought vividly to life by Rik’s personal reflections and case examples drawn from his vast experience […] this book will be one that I keep coming back to and share." Dr Emma Wolverson, Clinical Psychologist, Senior Lecturer in Ageing and Dementia, Research Lead Dementia, UK "This is a thoughtful and, at times, provocative book, providing knowledge and insights from theoretical and practical perspectives […] Cheston has set out to challenge you; which he does extremely well." Professor Ian Andrew James, Innovations Team, CNTW NHS Trust and honorary professor at the University of Bradford, UK "In this brilliant and timely book, Richard Cheston […] draws upon […] over 30 years of insightful clinical practice to discuss not only psychotherapy but a whole lot more. The book is lucidly written so can be valuable not only to specialists but to anyone whose work or personal life brings them into contact with dementia. Actually, that’s most of us." Tom Dening, Professor of Dementia Research, Mental Health & Clinical Neurosciences, University of Nottingham, UK "This is a clear, accessible and beautifully written legacy of psychotherapeutic endeavour in dementia care […] This book is a seminal text for all who are committed to continually improving their practice in person-centred dementia care." Esme Moniz-Cook Professor Emerita (Clinical Psychology, Ageing and Dementia Care), University of Hull, UK. Founder Chair, now board member INTERDEM There is little opportunity for people living with dementia to talk about their experiences and what is happening to them. This often makes it harder for them to adjust to, and to accept, the diagnosis. Dementia and Psychotherapy Reconsidered introduces a new and distinctive way of thinking about dementia. Each of the four sections is augmented with examples from the author’s 30 years of clinical and research experience and offers an accessible approach from mainstream psychotherapeutic and psychological frameworks that:• Places dementia into a psychological context of loss, threat and change• Addresses the research and clinical evidence underpinning psychotherapy; whether this is delivered to individuals, couples or groups• Sets out a model of adjustment to dementia and outlines how talking about dementia needs to be tailored to the stage of change• Explores how psychotherapy and counselling can be adapted to accommodate the client’s cognitive changes and why we need to acknowledge that talking about dementia is not always possible or desirable Dementia and Psychotherapy Reconsidered i s applicable not only to psychotherapists and counsellors, but to clinicians and families who are supporting people living with dementia post-diagnosis and want to find new ways of talking about their experiences. The Reconsidering Dementia Series is an interdisciplinary series published by Open University Press that covers contemporary issues to challenge and engage readers in thinking deeply about the topic. The dementia field has developed rapidly in its scope and practice over the past ten years and books in this series will unpack not only what this means for the student, academic and practitioner, but also for all those affected by dementia.
