Helping Adolescents at Risk

Prevention of Multiple Problem Behaviors
BookHardcover
EUR94,00

Product description

Written by leading authorities, this comprehensive volume reviews current knowledge about multiple problem behaviors in adolescence, focusing on "what works" in prevention and treatment. Cutting-edge research is presented on the epidemiology, development, and social costs of four youth problems that frequently co-occur: serious antisocial behavior, drug and alcohol misuse, tobacco smoking, and risky sexual behavior. A framework for reducing these behaviors is outlined, drawing on both clinical and public health perspectives, and empirically supported prevention and treatment programs are identified. Also addressed are ways to promote the development, dissemination, and effective implementation of research-based intervention practices.

Wahrscheinlich war es die Zeit, in der die wichtigsten, nachhaltigsten und dramatischsten Fortschritte in der Medizin gemacht wurden. Die 8 Jahrzehnte von 1840 bis zum Beginn des Ersten Weltkriegs werden gerne als das "Goldene Zeitalter der Medizin" bezeichnet. In diesen Jahren veränderte sich sowohl das Selbstbild als auch der wissenschaftliche Blick auf den Menschen. Die technologische Entwicklung ging in dramatischen Schritten voran, aber auch in der Medizin gab es wegweisende Forschungen, Entdeckungen und Heilerfolge.

Ronald Gerste beschreibt diese umwälzenden Entwicklungen auf allen gesellschaftlichen Ebenen packend, spannend und fundiert.

Pageturner.

Das perfekte Geschenk für angehende oder praktizierende ZahnmedizinerInnen.

Oder auch für Menschen mit ausgesprochener Angst vor einem Zahnarztbesuch. Denn wenn man sich vor Augen führt, wie brachial und bizarr die Anfänge der Zahnmedizin waren, wird jede Wurzelbehandlung zum Wellnessbad.

Der Medizinhistoriker Richard Barnett hat eine grandiose Geschichte der Zahnheilkunde zusammengestellt und schildert mit unzähligen Abbildungen und Anekdoten den langen Weg von den rustikalen und schmerzhaften Anfängen bis heute. Das ist sehr oft unterhaltsam, aber zuweilen verkrampft sich der Kiefer bei der Lektüre. Und ich war danach froh, dass mein Zahnarzt sein Handwerk nicht in der Etruskerzeit gelernt hat.
Nestor has written one of those non-fiction books that are almost too good to be true. By which I mean, his findings about the power of breathing are almost too fantastic and occasionally beggar belief. But since I'm no pulmonaut (author's term), I'm prepared to extend my belief in what he's written here and it's absolutely mind-blowing. Nestor's treatise on what constitutes good and bad breathing and how we might harness it for our benefit is a pleasing mixture of personal experience, far-reaching history and practical advice. He seems to cover almost everything, from ways to straighten your teeth, over fighting depression to holotropic breathwork and breathing techniques to fight indigestion. His enthusiasm for his topic and the immediate availability of many of the techniques makes this a very motivating read as well, resulting in this reader having changed her breathing already by the time she finished this book.
