This book is a compilation of the philosophy and techniques of the early masters of osteopathy, from A.T. Still to William Sutherland, Anne Wales to Carl Philip McConnell, and many others. Much of this philosophy, and many of the techniques, are no longer taught in current courses at osteopathic schools. In writing this book, the authors accessed many old journals, books, and videotapes of the early generations of osteopaths, and spent time with some of the older doctors, harvesting their knowledge before they passed on. The book is therefore a unique and extremely valuable collection of their ideas and techniques, as relevant and effective today as they were for patients in the past. To better understand how to apply each of the techniques and their underlying philosophy, the authors have provided step-by-step instructions, with photographs, and a clear description of hand holds and force vectors. By understanding the principles upon which the tech¬niques are based, practitioners can adapt them to their own style and physique. Masters of Osteopathy is also separately available in digital format as an eBook, as is access to a website containing video demonstrations of each of the 166 techniques shown in the text.

Craniosacral Therapy is the most widely used textbook in this vital field of manual therapy involving the cranial bones, meningeal membranes, cerebrospinal fluids, and whole-body connective tissues. Craniosacral Therapy defines the physiology and anatomy of the craniosacral system, its function in health, and relationship to disease processes. It provides practical instruction in developing and extending palpatory skills which will greatly benefit all forms of manipulation, as well as basic physical diagnosis. Two hundred drawings and photographs illustrate the mechanisms underlying the craniosacral system, and vividly demonstrate how to perform craniosacral techniques in the clinic.

Product Description 
Craniosacral Therapy II: Beyond the Dura marks yet another step in understanding the craniosacral system and its significance in the clinic. Building on concepts set forth in his pioneering work Cranioscacral Therapy, Dr. Upledger further explores the anatomical and physiological bases and clinical implications of several important aspects of the craniosacral system. The first chapter looks at the cranial nerves and how they can be effectively influenced by craniosacral therapy. In the second chapter, the author, through words and illustrations, dissects the fascial anatomy of the neck from the perspective of the craniosacral system. Chapter 3 scrutinizes the temporomandibular joint and TMJ syndrome. The final chapter focuses on those concepts and discoveries which have unfolded in Dr. Upledger's clinical practice since the publication of his first book. Rounding out this volume is an extensive glossary of technical terms and concepts related to the theory and practice of craniosacral therapy.

The Addiction Casebook presents 12 patients with DSM-5 addiction diagnoses -- plus one experiencing problematic Internet use -- and illustrates practical and successful strategies for diagnosing and treating these patients. The book's cases are analogous to those that clinicians commonly encounter in their everyday practice and effectively demonstrate the intersection of addiction with other psychiatric diagnoses. The experience and clinical wisdom of three generations of addiction specialists are distilled into a single volume that includes the most salient ideas and treatment suggestions for clinicians. This informative, practical volume strikes a colloquial, and sometimes humorous, tone. General psychiatrists and psychiatric residents seeking to gain expertise in and an understanding of addiction will find it a delight to read, as will a diverse audience of family practitioners, internists, pediatricians, medical students, allied professionals, and anyone interested in sharpening her or his clinical skills.The book is the first to cover the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of substance use disorders and other addictions within the DSM-5(R) framework. Its many valuable and helpful features include - An outline of the progression in thinking about psychiatric diagnoses with the move from DSM-IV-TR(R) to DSM-5(R). - Descriptions of hands-on experience with the current diagnosis and treatment of substance use disorders and other addictions that complement substance abuse textbooks and bring the material to life. - Coverage of such subject areas as alcohol, caffeine, cannabis, hallucinogen, inhalant, opioid, sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, stimulant, tobacco, gambling, and Internet addictions. - Key points and multiple-answer questions at the end of each chapter that highlight the chapter's most pertinent takeaways and apply and strengthen readers' knowledge of chapter information.- Extensive use of tables, figures, charts, and other instructive materials to illuminate and clarify addiction concepts. In their preface, the authors assert their hope that the book "will provide the fundamental tools for working with the substance-using patient in the hospital, the clinic, and the community." The Addiction Casebook exceeds its goal by providing mental health and other medical practitioners with timely, current strategies for addiction diagnosis and treatment in a succinct, engaging, and entertaining volume.
