Counselling People on Prescribed Drugs

by Hammersley, Diane
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780803988873

For any helping professional who is working, or wanting to work, with clients taking prescribed drugs, this book is a must. In a practical and comprehensive manner, Diane Hammersley clearly describes the uses and limitations of psychotropic drugs, their effectiveness, and effect on the counseling process. She then lays down guidelines for assessment, drug withdrawal, and the appropriate counseling approaches to consider while clients are still taking drugs or are withdrawing from drug use. She also explores more complex problems--such as overdosing, psychotic episodes, and antisocial behavior--and suggests when and how to counsel and when to refer on. Providing a sound theoretical base and factual information--backed up by useful case examples--this book is a must for clinicians, counselors, social workers, and mental health professionals working with clients who have been prescribed drugs.

Field Manual for Palliative Care in Humanitarian Crises
As humanitarian aid organizations have evolved, there is a growing recognition that incorporating palliative care into aid efforts is an essential part of providing the best care possible. <em>A Field Manual for Palliative Care</em> <em>in Humanitarian Crises </em>represents the first-ever effort at educating and providing guidance for clinicians not formally trained in palliative care in how to incorporate its principles into their work in crisis situations. Written by a team of international experts, this pocket-sized manual identifies the needs of people affected by natural hazards, political or ethnic conflict, epidemics of life-threatening infections, and other humanitarian crises. Later chapters explore topics including pain management, skin conditions, non-communicable diseases, palliative care emergencies, the law and ethics of end of life care, and more. Concise and highly accessible, this manual is an ideal educational tool pre-deployment or during fieldwork for clinicians involved in planning and providing humanitarian aid, local care providers, and medical trainees.<br>
