Clinical PsychologyGene-Enviroment Interactions in Developmental PsychopathologyKenneth A Dodge and Michael RutterBringing together foremost experts, this book reviews groundbreaking gene-environment research and explores implications for clinical practice, prevention, and public policy. Presented is cutting-edge work on the interplay of genetic factors and childhood experiences in the development of mental disorders such as depression, conduct disorder, and schizophrenia. Essential topics include what scientists currently know about “susceptibility genes”; the mechanisms by which maltreatment and other stressors interact with biological susceptibilities across development; and factors that make certain children more resilient than others. Future directions for personalising treatment and prevention efforts, thus making them more effective, are discussed.

Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (BDEFS)Russell A BarkleyThe Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (BDEFS) is an empirically based tool for evaluating dimensions of adult executive functioning in daily life. Evidence indicates that the BDEFS is far more predictive of impairments in major life activities than more time-consuming and costly traditional EF tests. The BDEFS offers an ecologically valid snapshot of the capacities involved in time management; organisation and problem solving; self-restraint; self-motivation; and self-regulation of emotions. Provided are both self- and other-reports in a long form (15-20 minutes) and a short form (4-5 minutes). Special features include an adult ADHD risk index in the long form.

Experimental PsychologyStatistical Analysis of fMRI DataF Gregory AshbyFunctional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which allows researchers to observe neural activity in the human brain noninvasively, has revolutionised the scientific study of the mind. An fMRI experiment produces massive amounts of highly complex data; researchers face significant challenges in analysing the data they collect. This book offers an overview of the most widely used statistical methods of analysing fMRI data. Every step is covered, from preprocessing to advanced methods for assessing functional connectivity. The goal is not to describe which buttons to push in the popular software packages but to help readers understand the basic underlying logic, the assumptions, the strengths and weaknesses, and the appropriateness of each method.

HealthRevolutionary Doctors: How Venezuela and Cuba Are Changing the World’s Conception of Health CareSteve BrouwerRevolutionary Doctors gives readers a first-hand account of Venezuela’s innovative and inspiring program of community healthcare, designed to serve - and largely carried out by - the poor themselves. Drawing on long-term participant observations as well as in-depth research, Brouwer tells the story of Venezuela’s Integral Community Medicine program, in which doctor-teachers move into the countryside and poor urban areas to recruit and train doctors from among peasants and workers. Such programs were first developed in Cuba, and Cuban medical personnel play a key role in Venezuela today as advisors and organisers. This internationalist model has been a great success - Cuba is a world leader in medicine and medical training - and Brouwer shows how the Venezuelans are now, with the aid of their Cuban sisters and brothers, following suit.

HypnosisSports Hypnosis in Practice: Scripts, Strategies and Case ExamplesJoseph TramontanaThis book offers new strategies and scripts for hypnotherapists, sports counsellors and sports psychologists working with athletes to help them achieve their peak performance. A major focus of the book is that the therapist does not necessarily need to be familiar with the sport or activity to serve as a ‘mental coach’ to the athlete. The athlete is instructed that the goal is not to improve the mechanics of their performance (that is left up to their coaches) but, rather, to help them to relax, concentrate and focus so that they fulfill their maximum potential.

MedicalPutting a Name to It: Diagnosis in Contemporary SocietyAnnemarie Goldstein Jutel (Victoria University of Wellington)Diagnosis is central to medicine. It creates social order, explains illness, identifies treatments, and predicts outcomes. Using concepts of medical sociology, Jutel sheds light on current knowledge about the components of diagnosis to outline how a sociology of diagnosis would function. She situates it within the broader discipline, lays out the directions it should explore, and discusses how the classification of illness and framing of diagnosis relate to social status and order. Jutel explains why this matters not just to doctor-patient relationships but also to the entire medical system. As a result, she argues, the sociological realm of diagnosis encompasses not only the ongoing controversy surrounding revisions to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in psychiatry but also hot-button issues such as genetic screening and pharmaceutical industry disease mongering.

What Makes a Good Nurse: Why the Virtues are Important for NursesDerek SellmanIn recent years, the human values at the heart of the nursing profession seem to have become sidelined by an increased focus on managerialist approaches to health care provision. Nursing’s values are in danger of becoming marginalised further precisely because that which nursing does best - providing care and helping individuals through the human trauma of illness - is difficult to measure, and therefore plays little, if any, part in official accounts of outcome measures for healthcare. In this book Derek Sellman sets out the case for re-establishing the primacy of the virtues that underpin the practice of nursing in order to address the question: what makes a good nurse?


Divining Without Seeds: The Case for Strengthening Laboratory Medicine in AfricaIruka N OkekeInfectious disease is the most common cause of illness and death in Africa, yet health practitioners routinely fail to identify causative micro-organisms in most patients. As a result, patients often do not receive the right medicine in time to cure them promptly even when such medicine is available, outbreaks are larger and more devastating than they should be, and the impact of control interventions is difficult to measure. Wrong prescriptions and prolonged infections amount to needless costs for patients and for health systems. In Divining without Seeds, Iruka N. Okeke forcefully argues that laboratory diagnostics are essential to the effective practice of medicine in Africa.

NeuroscienceCerebral Plasticity: New PerspectivesLeo M Chalupa, Nicoletta Berardi, Matteo Caleo, Lucia Galli-Resta and Tommaso PizzorussoThe notion that neurons in the living brain can change in response to experience - a phenomenon known as “plasticity” - has become a major conceptual issue in neuroscience research as well as a practical focus for the fields of neural rehabilitation and neurodegenerative disease. Early work dealt with the plasticity of the developing brain and demonstrated the critical role played by sensory experience in normal development. Two broader themes have emerged in recent studies: the plasticity of the adult brain (one of the most rapidly developing areas of current research) and the search for the underlying mechanisms of plasticity - explanations for the cellular, molecular, and epigenetic factors controlling plasticity.

Organisational PsychologyPerceived Organizational Support: Fostering Enthusiastic and Productive EmployeesRobert Eisenberger and Florence StinglhamberToday’s constantly changing work environment is fraught with job uncertainty, frequent mergers and acquisitions, and a general breakdown of trust between employer and employee. More than ever, it is critical for managers to proactively shift away from devaluing employees as marginal capital to empowering them as human capital. Using organisational support theory and evidence gathered from hundreds of studies, Eisenberger and Stinglhamber demonstrate how perceived organisational support affects employees’ well-being, the positivity of their orientation toward the organisation and work, and behavioural outcomes favourable to the organisation.

Illustrated with vivid case examples, the book is grounded in an integrative theory that draws from features of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural, systemic, and experiential approaches.
