Professional Issues in Therapeutic Recreation: On Competencies and Outcomes
by Norma J. Stumbo Brent D. Wolfe Shane PeggThe latest edition of Professional Issues in Therapeutic Recreation On Competence and Outcomes recognizes that the profession must continue to challenge the status quo and one another. Issues and ideas are not stagnant; they are forever changing, and the various sections and chapters of this edition will challenge the reader to conceptualize ideas from new perspectives and in a new light. Readers are encouraged to wrestle with the ideas presented. Do not simply read them and file the information away. Interact with the ideas. Discuss the ideas. Argue about the ideas. Whatever you do, do not simply disregard an idea because it represents a viewpoint or perspective that is different from your personal philosophy related to the profession. We challenge all readers to be drawn into the variety of topics, concepts, and perspectives presented in this volume so each can continue to personally grow and enable the profession to continue to grow. Like the first two editions, this effort has four major sections: Introduction, Education, Practice, and Research. It is clear that these divisions are largely arbitrary, as every practice issue affects every research issue, every education issue affects every practice issue, and on and on. However, books require an organizational layout, and these divisions appear to make sense. Each section begins with a Keynote chapter aimed at setting the stage for that particular section. Each section also ends with a Perspective chapter, largely an opinion or viewpoint piece to encourage readers to continue discussion on related issues.

Professionalism in Mental Healthcare
by Dinesh Bhugra Amit MalikIn mental health, as in other medical disciplines, the role of the professional is changing. The availability of information, enhanced roles of other healthcare professionals and changes in training have altered the doctor-patient relationship and left professionals accountable to the needs of clients, politicians, policy makers and funding agencies. This book seeks to redefine the professional role of the specialist mental health worker by bringing perspectives from leading experts from both developed and developing countries, and also from a wide range of professionals in the field of law, medical ethics, education and medical leadership.

The Profile of a Wise Man
by Swami SuddhanadaSwamiji unfolds many facets of Wisdom like petals of a flower. Wisdom does not lie in searching for a wise man. Wisdom is when you stop blaming others for your problems. Wisdom is when we stop having double standards. Wisdom is becoming happiness. Wisdom is not searching for happiness in other things. A scientist in one who challenges the perception. If doubting the perception is the beginning of science, doubting the perceiver - I the individual, is the beginning of wisdom. Swamiji also explodes many common myths convincingly with sheer directness. Engineers do not know engineering, those who know engineering are engineers. You have a limitation but you are not limited. The body has no fear; body does not know; it has no sense of 'I'. A thought reminds you of the object but does not produce the object. The relevance of knowledge is facing life, not in keeping ideas in your head. Anytime you are with yourself you are happy. Whenever you are happy: unconsciously you are with yourself.
Profiles of the Vaccine-Injured: "A Lifetime Price to Pay" (Children’s Health Defense)
by Children's Health Defense Robert F. Kennedy Jr.Are vaccine injuries really &“one in a million,&” as governments and public health experts constantly tell us? This comprehensive look at the evidence by Children&’s Health Defense, illustrated by nine real-life stories of serious vaccine injury, exposes health agencies&’ soft-pedaling of vaccine risks as a dangerous lie. For most people, the potential risks of vaccination, which include life-changing illness, family bankruptcy, and even death, are invisible and almost inconceivable—until a vaccine injury happens to them. Through the poignant and riveting stories of nine injured children and adults, Profiles of the Vaccine-Injured by Children&’s Health Defense communicates the devastating impacts of vaccine damage on health, family finances, relationships, and more. As the book&’s introductory chapters show, vaccine injuries—whether from a routine childhood injection—or a travel vaccine—or a COVID-19 shot—are common, not rare. Discussing US children&’s poor showing in global health rankings, the book assembles compelling evidence pointing to childhood vaccination as a key &“elephant in the room.&” The heart of the book resides in the vaccine injury stories told by mothers of injured children and injured adults. Conveying in vivid detail what it&’s like to live with conditions such as severe autism, chronic pain, and immune systems gone haywire, the nine individuals also attest to the disturbing fact that &“when it comes to vaccine injuries, there&’s no help legally or financially—you&’re on your own.&” In addition, they share affecting accounts of gaslighting, a lack of answers or solutions and outright hostility from the medical community, social isolation, heavy financial burdens, and interrupted careers and lives. Exposing the truth behind the vaccine safety myth, Profiles of the Vaccine-Injured makes vaccine injury personal and demonstrates that we ignore vaccine risks at our peril.
Profit Is Not the Cure
by Maude BarlowOn July 12, 1966, the Medical Care Insurance Act was passed by the federal House of Commons after a ferocious public debate that pitted the vast majority of Canadians against a powerful alliance of business, insurance companies, and doctors.More than thirty years later, the same battle is being fought all over again. Only now, the forces opposed to medicare are more ideologically unified, more richly endowed, and tied to transnational corporations whose power exceeds that of entire countries.In Profit Is Not the Cure, Maude Barlow traces the history of medicare in Canada. She compares it with both public and private systems in other parts of the world. And she contrasts it with the brutally divisive system that exists in the United States, where forty-four million people have no medical insurance, and millions more get minimal care through profit-driven health maintenance organizations. From the point of view of most patients, the United States health-care model is a disaster. But the proponents of privatization in Canada, supported by the right-wing media and corporate lobbyists, are determined to impose American-style "reforms" on the Canadian public. Three provinces - British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario - are moving ahead rapidly to enlarge the role of commerce in the provision of health-care services. They are introducing user fees, delisting procedures that previously were covered, and encouraging private corporations to move into areas that used to be the exclusive domain of the public system.While the prime minister and federal cabinet have paid lipservice to the principles of medicare, they have made it clear by their actions that they will do nothing to impede the destruction of those principles by the provinces. In fact, their enthusiastic support of NAFTA, and the impending Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA) and General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), has made the defence of medicare increasingly difficult. Canadians overwhelmingly support medicare. Many, however, have been persuaded that it is a luxury we can no longer afford. Maude Barlow argues that this proposition is wrong. An earlier generation fought a bitter battle to bring medicare into existence. Another battle must be fought now to save it. But we owe it to the founders of the system, as well as to future generations, to take up the cause again. This important book shows the way.From the Hardcover edition.
Profound Healing: The Power of Acceptance on the Path to Wellness
by Cheryl Canfield Joseph Chilton PearceA woman faced with advanced cancer shares the story of how preparing to die led her to experience a profound healing on all levels--physical, emotional, and spiritual. • Explores the practical and spiritual aspects of confronting a life challenge as a springboard for spiritual growth. • Includes accounts of dreams, exercises, and visualizations that inspire profound healing. • Outlines 12 self-help practices of wellness--emotional clearing, meditations, and lifestyle changes--through the living example of a cancer survivor. • By the co-compiler of the spiritual classic Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words. At the age of 41 Cheryl Canfield was diagnosed with advanced cervical cancer. Going against warnings from doctors, she rejected proposed surgeries that would involve removing her uterus, cervix, lymph nodes, and surrounding nerves. Instead, she decided to accept death and focused her energy on attempting to die well. In the process, she cured herself. Profound Healing is Canfield's down-to-earth account of her journey as she inadvertently experiences a modern-day miracle, and her subsequent reflections on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing. More than a biography, Canfield's story contains exercises, dreams, visualizations, and experiences--from encounters with the modern mystic Peace Pilgrim to her own acceptance of cancer--that assisted her healing process. Others can use her hard-earned insights as a source of hope, inspiration, and practical advice. Relevant to anyone seeking personal growth and life wisdom, Profound Healing is not merely about dying or living. It is about discovering one's life and living it fully while here.

Progestins and the Mammary Gland
by Orla M. Conneely Christiane OttoProgestins play a key role in reproductive endocrinology and as pharmaceutical drugs for contraception and in combined hormone therapy. To further our understanding of progestin action in the mammary gland, an international symposium, attended by leading researchers from academia and industry, was held in Berlin, 21-23 March 2007. Genetic mouse models helped to elucidate the role of progestins, both in normal breast development and in disease. Mechanistic molecular studies inspired the design of new progestins with improved tissue selectivity. In addition, the clinical impact of progesterone receptor agonists and antagonists for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer was discussed.
