Sky Ranch: Reared in the High Country
by Linda M. LockwoodFor fans of Tara Westover&’s Educated and Ivan Doig&’s This House of Sky comes a memoir about a girl&’s isolated ranch childhood—and her adulthood journey to overcome grief and fear and discover the truth about her mother&’s mental illness.At the age of eight, Linda Lockwood moves with her family to an isolated ranch in eastern Washington State. Within two years, she&’s patrolling the ranch on horseback alongside her border collie—herding sheep, killing rattlesnakes, and defending the ranch&’s livestock from coyotes, bears, and even trespassing hunters—and working tirelessly to realize her dream of training horses. But her most daunting challenge is one hard work can&’t overcome: her mother is descending into madness. And Linda&’s deepest fear is that she might inherit the schizophrenia that threatens to dismantle her family. At age twenty-five, Linda marries, but the joy of her first pregnancy is darkened by her mother&’s suicide. Then she endures a painful miscarriage and the death of her beloved grandmother, traumatic events that send her back in time to the births and deaths of animals—domesticated and wild—that she loved in childhood. Eventually, her own family grows, but her happiness is haunted by questions people have tiptoed around all her life. How did her mother become schizophrenic? What did she endure as a patient in 1960s mental hospitals? Might Linda and even her children be next to battle that catastrophic mental disorder? Driven by the courage and will she sharpened as a rancher, Linda vows to find out.
Slaapstoornissen in de psychiatrie: Diagnose en behandeling
by Marike Lancel Maaike Van Veen Jeanine KamphuisDit handboek biedt een overzicht van diverse slaapstoornissen, de diagnostiek en behandeling daarvan en hun relatie tot de psychiatrie en gebruik van psychofarmaca. Gezonde slaap is essentieel voor het functioneren van de hersenen. Slecht slapen is voorspellend voor het ontstaan van psychische klachten, voor de mate van remissie en het risico op terugval. Slaapstoornissen komen frequent voor bij vrijwel alle psychiatrische stoornissen en vormen één van de belangrijkste transdiagnostische symptomen.Slaapstoornissen in de psychiatrie gaat per psychiatrische aandoening uitvoerig in op de wisselwerking tussen psychiatrie en slaapstoornissen, waarbij epidemiologie, pathofysiologie en specifieke behandelmogelijkheden aan bod komen. Tot slot wordt aanvullend aandacht besteed aan zowel medicamenteuze en niet-medicamenteuze behandeling en aan enkele specifieke doelgroepen. Het boek geeft een verdiepend kader aan deze diagnose-overstijgende problemen, waarbij de theoretische achtergrond wordt geïllustreerd met praktijkvoorbeelden. Dit boek is bedoeld voor clinici, zoals psychiaters, psychologen, (huis)artsen en andere specialisten in de GGZ die zich willen verdiepen in de veelvuldig gemelde slaapproblemen bij mensen met een psychiatrische aandoening.Het boek staat onder redactie van prof. dr. Marike Lancel, drs. Maaike van Veen en dr. Jeanine Kamphuis, allen verbonden aan het Expertisecentrum Slaap en Psychiatrie, GGZ Drenthe.
Slaaptraining voor jongeren op basis van CGT en motiverende gespreksvoering: Mijn Slaap Plan (Kind en adolescent praktijkreeks)
by Marije Kuin Bianca BoyerIn dit boek wordt het protocol Slaaptraining voor jongeren uitgelegd. Het protocol is gebaseerd op cognitieve gedragstherapie (CGT) en motiverende gespreksvoering. Het boek is bedoeld voor hulpverleners die jongeren (12-19 jaar) behandelen met slaapproblemen, ook als er daarnaast sprake is van andere psychische problematiek. Slaapproblemen hebben invloed op het dagelijkse functioneren en kunnen psychische problemen veroorzaken of verergeren. Daarnaast kunnen slaapproblemen een belemmering zijn voor de behandeling en het herstel van andere psychische problemen. In Slaaptraining voor jongeren op basis van CGT en motiverende gespreksvoering geven de auteurs aan dat veel jongeren graag beter zouden willen slapen, maar het toch moeilijk vinden om hun slaapgedrag aan te passen. Daarom is motiverende gespreksvoering een belangrijk onderdeel van het protocol; om hun motivatie voor verandering te onderzoeken en - waar mogelijk - te vergroten. Jongeren kunnen tijdens de behandeling samen met hun hulpverlener aan de slag met het bijbehorende werkboek Mijn Slaap Plan.Slaaptraining voor jongeren op basis van CGT en motiverende gespreksvoering is geschreven door Marije Kuin en Bianca Boyer. Marije is GZ-psycholoog en cognitief gedragstherapeut bij Psychologenpraktijk Kuin, Bianca is GZ-psycholoog en cognitief gedragstherapeut bij Psychologenpraktijk Kuin en docent/onderzoeker bij de Universiteit van Amsterdam.
Slam School: Learning Through Conflict in the Hip-hop and Spoken Word Classroom
by Bronwen E. LowIn this study, Low (education, McGill U. , Canada) relates how a white teacher implemented the study of hip-hop and spoken word culture into urban high school language arts classes, which she co-taught and helped develop the curriculum for. She analyzes the dynamics of teaching and learning in these classes to argue that the reasons that teachers and administrators resist introducing hip-hop into curriculum--its complex issues of gender, violence, sexuality, materialism, race, and language--are what make it important pedagogically. She focuses on African American youth in interaction with white youth, teachers, and administrators, describing the student's exploration of poetry performance and writing and their experiences with the language of the hip-hop culture.

Sleep Disorders (The State of Mental Illness and Its Ther #19)
by Joan EsherickYou've been doing it since birth. You will do it till you die. You spend a full third of your life doing it. So why is it so hard sometimes? Sleeping seems like it should be the easiest thing in the world. Lie back, close your eyes, and drift off to dream land! But for some people, sleep is anything but easy. For a growing segment of our population, sleep difficulties are becoming routine. In a recent survey done by the National Sleep Foundation, nearly 50 percent of Americans age eighteen or older reported that they are excessively tired during the day, presumably from lack of sleep at night. Teens are no exception: Nearly one out of three falls asleep in class once a week. We know we're chronically fatigued--but why are we so tired? Lifestyle issues, sleep habits, health conditions, medicines, drug abuse, stress--these can certainly rob us of sleep, but perhaps the greatest unrecognized source of our tiredness is a group of conditions called sleep disorders. Often undiagnosed, sleep disorders can seriously compromise the health and lives of those who wrestle with them. What are sleep disorders, and how can they be treated? What are their effects, and how does a person know if she has one? Using numerous case studies combined with easy-to-understand information, Sleep Disorders takes a comprehensive look at the causes and symptoms of sleep disorders, methods of diagnosis and treatment, specific drugs used in treatment, and alternative strategies for management. By examining the causes and cures of these sleep robbers, readers will discover that, contrary to popular belief, it is possible to get a good night's sleep in our bustling world.

Sleep Disorders in Parkinson’s Disease: Management and Case Study
by Chun-Feng LiuThis book focuses on the sleep-related disorders in Parkinson's disease (PD), demonstrating that they are among the most common non-motor manifestations of PD and have a significant negative impact on quality of life. Sleep changes may also serve as markers to identify patients in the preclinical stage of PD. This book presents recent major breakthroughs related to sleep disorders in PD, such as REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), insomnia, nocturia, restless legs syndrome and periodic limb movements, sleep disordered breathing, excessive daytime sleepiness, and circadian rhythm disorders. It also discusses the epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, clinical implications, associated features, evaluation and management of these disorders and suggests some further research directions in these areas in order to develop neuroprotective therapies for PD. Focusing on Chinese PD patients, it addresses traditional Chinese Medicine, and compares the epidemiology and management of PD in China and Western countries to provide a frame of reference values for further studies. Further, it features numerous case reports to enable readers gain a better uderstanding of the subject matter. This comprehensive yet practical book is a valuable resource for scientists and clinicians.
Sleep Disorders in Psychiatric Patients: A Practical Guide
by Hugh SelsickThis book is designed to give clinicians a practical guide to the detection, assessment and treatment of sleep disorders in patients with psychiatric illness in order to better treat both their sleep disorder and their psychiatric disorder. In addition to providing a thorough introduction to the major sleep disorders, it offers clear guidance on how to assess and manage these disorders in patients with a wide range of psychiatric conditions. The role of psychiatric medication and special considerations to be borne in mind when treating psychiatric patients are also addressed. Although it is aimed primarily at psychiatrists, this will also be a useful handbook for sleep clinics and general practitioners who frequently have to manage patients with both psychiatric and sleep disorders.
Sleep Disorders in Selected Psychiatric Settings: A Clinical Casebook
by Imran S. Khawaja Thomas D. HurwitzAccording to research, more than 50% of patients seen in psychiatric clinics have sleep problems. Despite this fact, there is a lack of sleep medicine training in psychiatric residency programs especially for disorders like insomnia and sleep-related problems in women and children. Also, there is a lack of education on treating sleep problems in special situations like ICU settings or managing sleep problems via telemedicine. Sleep physicians, on the other hand, are uncomfortable treating patients with the psychiatric disorders, particularly in this demographic. Pediatricians are also not trained to work with children suffering from sleep disturbances or psychiatric disorders. They often struggle to correctly identify a particular disorder and lack confidence to adequately treat and manage these issues. In total, there are only about 250 clinicians trained in both sleep medicine and psychiatry, despite the millions of patients who could benefit from both disciplines. While Springer does have a forthcoming text on sleep and psychiatric disturbances that addresses comorbid sleep disorders in the general population, there is still no resource that examines the intricacies of insomnia in women and children. This text highlights the importance of common medical comorbidities and illuminates the salient points for treatment, diagnosis, and management of these conditions as they relate particularly to these special populations. Written by experts in both sleep medicine and psychiatry, the text takes a cutting-edge, reader-friendly approach to topics that include sleep disturbances in pregnancy, sleep tele-medicine, sleep disturbances related to difficulties in schools, and substance-induced disturbances. Each chapter follows a consistent format, making it an excellent tool for the busy clinician who is not able to sift through scientific literature or didactic texts. Psychiatric Sleep Disorders in Women and Children is an excellent resource for all clinicians who may work with special populations struggling with sleep and psychiatric comorbidities, including psychiatrists, sleep medicine physicians, internists, primary care and family medicine physicians, pediatricians, obstetrics/gynecologists, psychologists and others.
Sleep Disorders in Women
by Hrayr P. Attarian Mari Viola-SaltzmanIn Sleep Disorders in Women: A Guide to Practical Management, 2nd Edition, a multidisciplinary panel of eminent researchers and practicing clinicians comprehensively updates the multifaceted aspects of sleep disorders in women at different stages of life, illuminating the unique impact that each reproductive and endocrine stage has on both normal sleep and sleep disorders. This title not only introduces primary care physicians and health care providers to the discipline of sleep disorders in women, it also will appeal to a broader set of specialists as it summarizes the latest, cutting-edge research and presents it in a succinct and clinically relevant manner. The goal of this book is to help physicians recognize the symptom patterns of sleep disorders in their female patients, guide them in diagnosing and treating these patients in a timely fashion, and help in the elimination of gender bias in sleep medicine research and care. An invaluable addition to the literature, Sleep Disorders in Women: A Guide to Practical Management, 2nd Edition again fills an important niche by being an accessible, comprehensive, multidisciplinary review on sleep disorders in women.

Sleep Loss and Obesity
by Tamas Horvath Priyattam Shiromani Susan Redline Eve Van CauterSleep Loss and Obesity: Intersecting Epidemics represents a major contribution to the field of sleep medicine. It is a comprehensive review of the neurobiology of sleep, circadian timing and obesity, the deleterious effects of sleep loss and obesity on health, and the worrisome associated social and medical costs in a range of patient populations and overall to society. The number of individuals who are obese has reached alarming levels. As a result, the incidence of Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, heart disease, and kidney failure have also increased. The surgeon general estimates that the total annual cost of obesity in the US is about $117 billion. This cost is expected to escalate significantly because the number of overweight and obese children is increasing rapidly. Indeed, the new generation is expected to have a shorter life-span then their parents. In addition, sleep loss is emerging as an important contributing factor to obesity. People who sleep less or are sleep deprived tend to eat more, especially carbohydrates, and have a higher body mass index. Increased weight restricts the upper airway, causing obstructive sleep apnea and further sleep loss. In the end there is a vicious cycle of weight gain and sleep loss. In the past few years there has been a tremendous growth in our understanding of brain mechanisms controlling energy metabolism. Interestingly the neurons regulating waking also regulate feeding. There is also a mechanism that regulates the timing of feeding and sleep. In shift-workers this system is likely to be disturbed, and this has an adverse impact on both feeding and sleep. Sleep Loss and Obesity: Intersecting Epidemics is the first title to clearly examine how obesity and sleep loss are interacting epidemics. This fascinating title makes the link between energy metabolism, sleep and circadian timing; identifies poor sleep as a risk-factor for obesity in children and adults and offers treatment strategies for obstructive sleep apnea and obesity. This book will be a vital source of information for all physicians interested in sleep disorders and obesity. It will also be of value to neuroscientists, health system administrators, and policy makers.
Sleep Medicine and Mental Health: A Guide for Psychiatrists and Other Healthcare Professionals
by David Bennett Karim Sedky Racha NazirAdvances in sleep medicine research are improving our clinical work for individuals with sleep problems. The aim of this book is to educate psychiatrists and other mental health professionals about the importance of understanding sleep disorders, including their bidirectional relationship with psychiatric conditions. This book consists of six major sections with seventeen chapters. It is led off by an introduction on the function of sleep, its neurophysiology, and types of sleep problems. Since insomnia represents a common and significant challenge for patients with psychiatric disorders, its clinical presentation and treatments are reviewed in the second section. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), mindfulness-based CBT, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and the medication management of insomnia are reviewed. A third section addresses sleep related breathing disorders. The pathology of sleep apnea, its treatments, and therapeutic modalities to address non-compliance with positive pressure ventilation are reviewed. Other sleep disorders such as hypersomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, movement disorders and parasomnias are discussed in the fourth section. Since features of sleep disorders can vary by age, gender, and trauma history, a fifth section discusses the unique sleep problems associated with children, women, older adults, and veterans. The book concludes with a final section discussing how sleep disorders and psychiatric conditions overlap. We hope this book highlights the importance of understanding and addressing comorbid sleep disorders among individuals with psychiatric conditions. We are confident that this book will be valuable in helping clinicians improve the management of sleep disorders in their clinical practice.
Sleep Neurology: A Comprehensive Guide to Basic and Clinical Aspects
by Lourdes M. DelRosso Raffaele FerriThis practical text provides knowledge of the basic neuroscience of sleep and sleep disorders as they interrelate with various neurologic conditions.Chapters in the first section cover neural networks involved in normal sleep processes, including dreams and memory. Also discussed are how these neural networks interact in various sleep stages and sleep disorders, such as sleep related movement disorders. The book's second section explores the pathophysiology of sleep disorders in the spectrum of neurologic conditions in both adults and children. This includes sleep changes in patients with dementia, seizures, headaches, and stroke, and other common neurologic disorders. Sleep Neurology fills an important gap in the sleep medicine literature by providing the underpinnings of sleep disorders and will be of great value to students, residents, and clinicians.
