Anatomía de una epidemia

Autor: Robert Whitaker

Número de Páginas: 373

Cuando el galardonado periodista científico Robert Whitaker se percató de que entre 1987 y 2007 el número de pacientes con discapacidad por enfermedad mental se había casi triplicado, en paralelo a un espectacular aumento en la producción de droga psicotrópica, comenzó a reflexionar. Parece como si estos psicofármacos fueran "balas mágicas" que dejan fuera de juego a la enfermedad mental, reinsertando a los pacientes a las filas de la ciudadanía productiva. Pero numerosos estudios clínicos publicados hace más de 50 años en prestigiosas revistas científicas, revelaban una anomalía sorprendente: en repetidas ocasiones, las drogas psiquiátricas empeoran la enfermedad mental, y disparan los riesgos de daño hepático, de aumento de peso, de colesterol, o de azúcar en la sangre. Realmente no se sabe qué causa la enfermedad mental, no hay cura o tratamiento paliativo que se encuentre en esas píldoras. Las conclusiones de Whitaker, tras examinar estos medicamentos a través del prisma de los resultados a largo plazo, exponen el brutal engaño de una industria que mueve miles de millones.

Lo que vio el perro

Número de Páginas: 336

Los mejores reportajes del autor de los best sellers La clave del éxito y Fueras de serie . Sólo poniéndose en la piel de un perro, pensó Gladwell, podría destapar los secretos de César Millán, el «encantador de perros», capaz de calmar al animal más inquieto o enfurecido con un simple gesto. El ensayo que da título a este libro es un divertido y eficaz ejemplo del método gladwelliano, consistente en «mirar el problema con ojos ajenos». Gladwell nos trae historias de todos los rincones del mundo moderno: investiga las agridulces vidas de genios menores, audaces y obsesivos como el señor Heinz, responsable de que sólo exista un tipo de ketchup frente a docenas de variedades de mostaza; nos revela la trascendencia de la evolución del tinte capilar en la historia del siglo XX; compara los métodos de búsqueda de armas de destrucción masiva con los de detección del cáncer. Autor de tres best sellers que han dado un vuelco a nuestra manera de entender el mundo, Gladwell ha elegido los que consideraba sus mejores artículos, diseminados en distintos números de la mítica revista The New Yorker y nueva muestra de su insaciable curiosidad.

"The American Psychiatric Association's Committee on Nomenclature and Statistics has been participating during the past few years, with the U. S. Committee on Classification of Diseases, in the World Health Organization's Revision Conferences in preparation for the Eighth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases. Those conferences are now terminated. In May, 1966, a classification of mental disorders similar to the following will be presented to the World Health Assembly for approval. This classification (and the other parts of the International Classification of Diseases) will be considered by professional groups and government agencies throughout the world. It is scheduled for adoption by member governments some time in 1967 to become effective that year or later. In adopting it, any country may make reservations regarding specific terms in the classification. The Committee on Nomenclature and Classification will prepare recommendations on how best to bring a revised version of the APA classification into relation with the International Classification of Diseases, Eighth Revision.

DSM-5® and the Law

Autor: Dr Charles Scott

Número de Páginas: 305

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) is the most widely used and accepted scheme for diagnosing mental disorders in the United States and beyond. DSM-5 was released with profound changes revealed in the required diagnostic process, specific criteria for previously established diagnoses, as well as the addition and deletion of specific mental disorders.

It also provides practical guidelines on how to correctly use the DSM-5 diagnostic process to record diagnoses in a forensic report. Furthermore, DSM-5® and the Law highlights unique aspects of the assessment of malingering based on DSM-5 alterations of DSM-IV.

El yo atormentado

Autor: Onno Van Der Hart , Ellert Nijenhuis , Kathy Steele

Número de Páginas: 606

La vida es una lucha constante para los pacientes con traumatización crónica. Habitualmente presentan una amplia variedad de síntomas, lo que puede hacer de su evaluación y tratamiento una labor complicada y desconcertante para el terapeuta. Muchos de ellos presentan problemas sustanciales en el ámbito de la vida cotidiana y de las relaciones. Su sufrimiento se relaciona esencialmente con un pasado terrible y doloroso que les atormenta. No es de extrañar, pues, que muchas de las víctimas de traumatizaciones crónicas manifiesten escaso o ningún avance. En este libro, tres importantes investigadores y profesionales comparten lo que han aprendido a raíz de tratar y estudiar a personas crónicamente traumatizadas a lo largo de más de 65 años de experiencia colectiva. Sobre la base de la teoría de la disociación estructural de la personalidad, combinada con la psicología de la acción de Pierre Janet, los autores han elaborado un modelo de tratamiento por fases que se concentra en la detección y el tratamiento de la disociación estructural y las acciones mentales y conductuales desadaptativas asociadas. La base de este modelo consiste en ayudar a los pacientes a...

The Four Domains of Mental Illness

Autor: Rene J. Muller

Número de Páginas: 461

The Four Domains of Mental Illness presents an authentic and valid alternative to the DSM-5, which author René J. Muller argues has resulted in many patients being incorrectly diagnosed and wrongly medicated. Dr. Muller points out where the DSM-5 is mistaken and offers a guide to diagnosis based on the psychobiology of psychiatrist Adolf Meyer and the insights of existential philosophy and psychiatry. His model identifies the phenomena of the mental illnesses that clinicians most often see, which are characterized by identifying their structure, or partial structure. Using the FDMI approach, clinicians can grasp how each mental illness is an aberration of Martin Heidegger’s being-in-the-world.
