TRATAMIENTO NUTRICIONAL DE LOS TRASTORNOS DE LA CONDUCTA ALIMENTARIA

Los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria engloban un conjunto de enfermedades mentales de origen multifactorial que comparten entre sí la presencia de una alteración del comportamiento alimentario que afecta al estado nutricional de la salud y al funcionamiento psicosocial de las personas que lo padecen. La variabilidad en cuanto a la forma de presentación, afectación orgánica, alteración nutricional y su potencial gravedad, hace necesario un tratamiento individualizado por parte de un equipo multidisciplinar. El presente libro aborda el manejo nutricional de los principales trastornos de la conducta alimentaria en función de la gravedad de la situación clínica y el ámbito asistencial en el que se encuentre el paciente. Incluye la educación nutricional como pilar del manejo de esta enfermedad. Se analizan los aspectos médicos relacionados con las complicaciones derivadas de la malnutrición (por exceso o por defecto) y las conductas compensatorias.

Bedlam

A psychiatrist and award-winning documentarian sheds light on the mental-health-care crisis in the United States. When Dr. Kenneth Rosenberg trained as a psychiatrist in the late 1980s, the state mental hospitals, which had reached peak occupancy in the 1950s, were being closed at an alarming rate, with many patients having nowhere to go. There has never been a more important time for this conversation, as one in five adults--40 million Americans--experiences mental illness each year. Today, the largest mental institution in the United States is the Los Angeles County Jail, and the last refuge for many of the 20,000 mentally ill people living on the streets of Los Angeles is L.A. County Hosp...

Deconstruction

Deconstruction: Theory and Practice has been acclaimed as by far the most readable, concise and authoritative guide to this topic. Without oversimplifying or glossing over the challenges, Norris makes deconstruction more accessible to the reader. The volume focuses on the works of Jacques Derrida which caused this seismic shift in critical thought, as well as the work of North American critics Paul de Man, Geoffrey Hartman, J. Hillis Miller and Harold Bloom. In this third, revised edition, Norris builds on his 1991 Afterword with an entirely new Postscript, reflecting upon recent critical debate. The Postscript includes an extensive list of recommended reading, complementing what was already one of the most useful bibliographies available.
