Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering play significant roles in the treatment of currently intractable conditions, such as chronic heart failure, stroke, chronic osteoarthritis, and other maladies. Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering generally depend on the utilization of stem cells to treat patients but may also utilize mature cells that would not normally be considered as stem cells (e.g., skin). Stem cells (like mature cells) may be obtained from many sources in the body including bone marrow, cord blood, cord tissue, adipose tissue, etc. Although stem cells are often used in therapy immediately upon isolation, in many circumstances, the stem and progenitor cells will be harvested, processed and banked frozen until a later time. Biobanking is a convenient alternative to same-day therapeutic use, in that it allows for patient recovery (e.g., from liposuction), provides time to identify the best treatment options, and may allow for multiple interventions with additional patient inconvenience or risk.

Set includes revised editions of some issues.
Psychotherapists have come to realize that, given the complexity of human behavior, no single theory or treatment can ever suffice for all patients, disorders, and situations. The ideological cold war has abated as clinicians look across single-school approaches to see what can be learned - and how patients can benefit - from alternative orientations. Handbook of Psychotherapy Integration, Third Edition now constitutes the most frequent orientation of mental health professionals. This volume provides a comprehensive state-of-the-art description of psychotherapy integration by leading proponents. Replete with clinical vignettes, this unique handbook will prove invaluable to practitioners, students, and researchers alike.
