As if snot wasn't enough to worry about . . . NITS?! After their adventures at the beach, Jack and the gang are looking forward to a well-earned rest. But the work of an alien-buster is never done! With rogue agent Bob still on the loose, and evil, gross aliens converging on Earth to steal our snot, there's plenty still to be done. And there's trouble closer to home, too—an outbreak of nits at Jack's school! But when Jack spots the new school nurse sticking out her tongue and eating a nit from a pupil's head, he realizes the two problems might just be linked!

Where There Is No Psychiatrist: A Mental Health Care Manual

Patel, Vikram (author.)

Evolutionary psychiatry attempts to explain and examine the development and prevalence of psychiatric disorders through the lens of evolutionary and adaptationist theories. In this edited volume, leading international evolutionary scholars present a variety of Darwinian perspectives that will encourage readers to consider 'why' as well as 'how' mental disorders arise. Using insights from comparative animal evolution, ethology, anthropology, culture, philosophy and other humanities, evolutionary thinking helps us to re-evaluate psychiatric epidemiology, genetics, biochemistry and psychology. It seeks explanations for persistent heritable traits shaped by selection and other evolutionary processes, and reviews traits and disorders using phylogenetic history and insights from the neurosciences as well as the effects of the modern environment. By bridging the gap between social and biological approaches to psychiatry, and encouraging bringing the evolutionary perspective into mainstream psychiatry, this book will help to inspire new avenues of research into the causation and treatment of mental disorders.

Seminars in Old Age Psychiatry (College Seminars Series)

Butler, Rob

Pitt, Brice

'Psychopath', 'sociopath', 'moral defective' - these are some of the labels which have been given to people who suffer from abnormal personalities. In particular, these terms have been used to refer to people who consistently behave in a manner which society finds unacceptable. In 1980, psychiatry formally introduced the controversial diagnostic category of 'antisocial personality disorder'. The concept is hotly debated by clinicians, researchers, and more recently by the media, and raises important questions about where the boundaries of psychiatry should lie. This book provides a comprehensive review of antisocial personality disorder from an epidemiological point of view. It opens with a discussion of the central problems associated with assessing and classifying abnormal personality and then focuses more specifically on antisocial personality disorder with chapters on: distribution, natural history, early risk factors, associated conditions, burden and needs assessment. It will be a valuable source of reference for all who are interested in the disorder, whether from a clinical, management or research perspective.
