Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Charley Ellis has written a magnificent portrait, capturing the indomitable spirit of Joe Wilson and his instinctive understanding of the need for and commercial usefulness of a transforming imaging technology. Joe Wilson and his extraordinary team, which I had the good fortune to first meet in 1960, epitomized the wonderful observation of George Bernard Shaw who said, 'Some look at things that are, and ask why I dream of things that never were and ask why not ' Xerox and xerography are not only a part of our vocabulary, but part of our everyday life. Charley Ellis gives the reader a poignant understanding of just how this happened through the life, adventures, critical business decisions, and dreams of Joseph Wilson and a cadre of remarkable individuals.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - As pressure continues to build on organisations to achieve more with less, partnering offers tremendous promise as a strategic solution. However, up to 70% of such initiatives fail to meet their objectives.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Mentalizing entails attending to mental states in oneself and others - in brief, holding mind in mind. It is crucial to interpersonal relationships as well as self-awareness and self-regulation, and all psychotherapeutic approaches depend on mentalizing capacity.In this comprehensive volume, Jon Allen and Peter Fonagy bring together an international group of experts to clarify the concept of mentalization, review current research and knowledge, and explore its diverse clinical applications. Particular attention is devoted to impaired mentalizing in childhood disorders as well as borderline personality disorder, and contributors relate mentalization-focused treatment to established treatments such as psychoanalysis, cognitive behavioural therapy, and dialectical behaviour therapy. Authors describe how to implement a focus on mentalizing in several applications, including parenting of high-risk infants, family therapy with children and adolescents, prevention of bullying in schools, specialized inpatient treatment, psychoeducational groups for patients and family members, and therapist training.The Handbook of Mentalization-Based Treatment is a valuable resource for mental health practitioners from a variety of professional disciplines, including psychotherapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors, and nurses. It will also be of interest to academics engaged in research in the field of mentalization and attachment.ContributorsJon G. Allen, PhD, USAAnthony W.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Of all the skill sets that support the shift from a traditional management role to a more collaborative approach, none is more relevant than that of the role of the facilitator.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Children with persisting speech difficulties present great challenges for managers, therapists, teachers and psychologists. This third book in the Children's Speech and Literacy Difficulties series is based on research and practice with school-age children with persisting speech and associated difficulties. It focuses on the psycholinguistic nature of their difficulties, how to design intervention programmes and how intervention outcomes might be measured.In order to effectively treat school-age children with longstanding speech difficulties practitioners need to draw on a variety of approaches, e.g. combining a psycholinguistic approach with a linguistic (or more specifically, phonological) approach. Theory and therapy are inseparable and our knowledge of theory needs to be used to drive therapy. In turn, therapy outcomes can inform our theoretical knowledge. In order to build evidence-based programmes, we need to evaluate therapy outcomes using wide-ranging outcomes measures that can evaluate change at a variety of levels. Case studies are a useful way forward in learning more about children with speech difficulties and how to support them.Persisting Speech Difficulties in Children:\* serves as a practical handbook, containing useful word lists, tips and sheets for photocopying.\* provides a means of accessing a wide range of literature. Each chapter summarises recent research findings and closes with a bulleted summary of main points.\* gives an explanation of the psycholinguistic approach and how to implement it, and integrate it with other approaches.\* trains readers in research design for evidence-based practice. This includes stimuli design and selection, intervention design and scoring procedures.\* shares case studies, outlining what was done with specific children. These cases do not necessarily say how intervention should be done but rather aim to give examples of how therapy can be done and used to make comparisons with other approaches.\* motivates changes to service delivery for children with persisting speech difficulties.It is a must have reference book for Speech and Language Therapists and Pathologists, researchers and students of Speech and Language.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - With accompanying software! Clinicians manage a lot of data - on assorted bits of paper and in their heads. This book is about better ways to manage and understand large amounts of clinical data. Following on from his ground breaking book, Evaluating the Processes of Neonatal Intensive Care, Joseph Schulman has produced this eminently readable guide to patient data analysis. He demystifies the technical methodology to make this crucial aspect of good clinical practice understandable and usable for all health care workers. Computer technology has been relatively slow to transform the daily work of health care, the way it has transformed other professions that work with large amounts of data. Each day, we do our work as we did it the day before, even though current technology offers much better ways. Here are much better ways to document and learn from the daily work of clinical care. Here are the principles of data management and analysis and detailed examples of how to implement them using computer technology. To show you that the knowledge is scalable and useful, and to get you off to a running start, the book includes a complete point of care database software application tailored to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). With examples from the NICU and the pediatric ward, this book is aimed specifically at the neonatal and pediatric teams. The accompanying software can be downloaded on to your system or PDA, so that continual record assessment becomes second nature - a skill that will immeasurably improve practice and outcomes for all your patients.…
