Books and Book Chapters

1. Yamey G, Greenwood R. The physical consequences of neurological disability. Chapter in: Neurological Rehabilitation, eds: R Greenwood, M P Barnes, T M McMillan, C D Ward, 2nd edition. This chapter summarizes current knowledge of how disability and consequent immobility can have harmful physical consequences. It incorporates recent studies showing the physical benefits of exercise training in patients with neurological disability. The book is widely considered to be the definitive textbook on neurological rehabilitation.

2. Heller T, Heller D, Yamey G. A critical look at orthodox medical approaches. Chapter in: Complementary and Alternative Medicine: Structures and Safeguards, eds: Lee-Treweek G, Heller T, MacQueen H, Stone J, Spurr S. Oxford: Routledge, 2005. This chapter examines

evidence-based medicine, the forces driving it, and its strengths and weaknesses. It discusses why physicians have been slow to adopt evidence-based medical practices, as well as the role of the placebo effect in medicine.

3. Yamey G. Is there any hope for tackling the world's most neglected diseases? Chapter in: Exclusion and the Right to Health: The Role of Health Professionals. Edhucasalud, Lima, Peru, 2007. In this chapter, I first define the neglected tropical diseases, discussing the various ways in which they can be considered neglected. I then discuss the "silent revolution" that is happening in disease control efforts: new public-private partnerships, new interest from donors, scale up of mass drug administration, integrated control, and the launch of PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases.
