Issues of sexual abuse, family resistance, suicidal gestures, self-concept development, social skills training, eating disorders, and other problems occuring in adolescence are perennial concerns of professionals working with troubled young people. The chapters in this handbook relate treatment to issues which are frequently matters for discussion in adolescent units, special schools, social work departments, and therapeutic communities.

The Nature of Adolescence (Adolescence and Society)

The fourth edition of this successful textbook provides an up-to-date introduction to all of the key features of adolescent development. While drawing on the North American literature on adolescence, it highlights European perspectives and also provides unique coverage of the topic by summarising and reviewing what is known about adolescence from a British viewpoint. Comprehensively updated and rewritten, this edition includes material on new topics such as: <ul>
<li>The development of the adolescent brain</li> <li>Sleep patterns in adolescence</li> <li>Parenting programmes for parents of teenagers</li> <li>Health, including sport and exercise, nutrition and obesity, and mental health</li> <li>Education and schooling</li> <li>Young people’s use of digital technologies</li> <li>New approaches to resilience and coping.</li>
</ul>
The book places a particular emphasis on a positive view of adolescence, and the author develops a new theoretical perspective which looks at how young people themselves construct and shape their own developmental pathways. Interview material taken from discussions with adolescents is included throughout the book, and there are sample essay questions and PowerPoint lecture slides available online. This is an essential text for anyone studying human development at undergraduate and postgraduate level, as well as on postgraduate courses for professionals including teachers, social workers, health workers, counsellors, and youth workers.

Stop Parkin' and Start Livin': Reversing The Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease

Rethinking Parkinson's Disease traces known pathways leading to a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, together with strategies to reverse each pathway. It includes the best evidence from Western allopathic medicine and complementary/alternative medicine in discovering how and why people with Parkinson's develop symptoms, the diagnostic process, standard treatments and prognoses offered by expert practitioners, and ongoing research. A major section of this work details strategies to create wellness and reverse the illness processes, many available to patients at little or no cost. There are sections on symptom control, complementary medical treatments and therapies to avoid. The book is aimed at people with Parkinson's, families and supporters, and may be used as a self-help book. There are also suggestions and advice for both Western allopathic medicine and complementary/alternative medicine practitioners to enhance their care of patients with a Parkinson's disease diagnosis.
