Illness causes an existential crisis for people as it confronts them with the fragility, vulnerability and finitude of the human condition. Serious illness and hospitalisation can be challenging and life-changing experiences, especially in a context with poor resources and limited support. Healthcare workers meet patients in this space of disarray. Human qualities, such as faith, hope and compassion become crucial aspects of care. Patients’ responses to these qualities highlight the importance of spirituality as part of holistic care, not only for the patients and their families, but also for the healthcare worker. The 2nd Biennial South African Conference on Spirituality and Healthcare brought together leading experts from different disciplines, and offered a variety of perspectives to explore the ways in which spirituality interacts with healing, growth and wholeness in healthcare. This volume addresses principles and practices for spirituality and healthcare, spiritual assessment, the role of community psychology, models of spiritual care, volunteers and children’s spirituality in healthcare.
This series acknowledges the substantial gap that still exists inpsychiatry between research evidence and clinical practice:clinicians are sometimes incompletely aware of research findings,or regard them as biased, not convincing or not relevant to theirpractice. By using systematic reviews with accompanyingcommentaries this volume is able to assess the "evidence" and"experiences" to give a critical and objective account of therelevant issues, while focusing on key topics. This comprehensivebook addresses schizophrenia through a systematic review of theavailable rearch evidence. This book "...was a pleasure to review. One can dip in and outof it at random to find an important aspect of schizophreniasummarised in a few paragraphs. The reviews are all well written,balanced and up-to-date. It is designed for an internationalreadership, and come commentaries, such as those on continentalconcepts of schizophrenia, or experience of stigma in the lessindustrialised world, are rarely found together in one volume."—British Journal of Psychiatry, 2001

Questo volume è dedicato all’approfondimento dei più accreditati interventi strutturati per la riabilitazione cognitiva dei soggetti affetti da schizofrenia, e rappresenta uno strumento di lavoro per tutti i professionisti impegnati nel trattamento, nella riabilitazione e nel recupero delle persone con disturbi psicotici, in particolare di tipo schizofrenico. La presenza di alterazioni cognitive nei disturbi schizofrenici è attualmente oggetto di grande interesse da parte di clinici e ricercatori, sia per la diffusione di tali alterazioni sia per il loro impatto negativo sulla vita sociale, relazionale e lavorativa del paziente; determinante è stato inoltre il recente sviluppo di nuove...
L’assistenza psichiatrica in Italia ha lunga tradizione e grande visibilità anche internazionale a seguito della Legge 180 del 1978 che, recepita dalla Legge 833/78, ha promosso l’abolizione degli ospedali psichiatrici e l’istituzione di Servizi Psichiatrici di Diagnosi e Cura (SPDC) quali unità organizzative specialistiche con un numero limitato di posti letto per il trattamento dei disturbi psichiatrici in fase acuta all’interno di ospedali.
