International Handbook of Personal Construct Psychology

International Handbook of Personal Construct Psychology
Publisher: Wiley | ISBN: 0470847271 | edition 2003 | PDF | 530 pages | 19,3 mb

This first International Handbook of Personal Construct Psychology (PCP) illustrates by its breadth and scope the huge influence the work of George Kelly has had, since its inception in 1955, on psychology and related disciplines. Including some previously unpublished material by Kelly and Bannister, alongside classic texts, the handbook is largely devoted to the practical applications of Kelly’s work today.
Areas in which PCP is now being used include expert systems, forensic psychology, psychotherapy and counselling, politics, post-traumatic stress, education, developmental and family psychology, organizational psychology, cross-cultural understanding, nursing, policing, artificial intelligence and sport. As far as possible, each chapter aims to give the reader an idea or method that they can try out for themselves in their own work or personal context.
Even today some of Kelly’s ideas are novel. Although all-embracing, this handbook cannot be comprehensive as new applications and extensions are being developed continually. It will prove an invaluable reference to practitioners and scholars from a wide range of disciplines, wherever human understanding is relevant.

“The book is both broad and comprehensive, with chapters written by family physicians and specialists who contribute informative, easy to follow, and concise discussions.

Chapters are well written, contain questions consistent with those found on the boards, and provide explanations that will help readers navigate these topics on the exam. The case-based approach provides a comprehensive review of topics commonly encountered in the family physician’s office. Each chapter contains clinical pearls, quizzes, and objectives to ensure that the main points have been addressed. The numerous illustrations include quality images of dermatological conditions, EKGs, and x-rays. Tables provide useful charts and are effective teaching tools.

Obstetric Evidence-Based Guidelines, Second Edition

This book reviews the evidence for best practice in obstetrics and maternal-fetal medicine. It presents readers with the right information, in the right format, by summarizing evidence in easy-to-use tables and algorithms. Recommendations have linkage to supporting evidence, and quality of evidence and strength of recommendation is stressed. Areas of uncertainty are recognized, and ‘individualized’ care suggested. Recommendations based on randomized trials and meta-analyses are highlighted so that clinical outcomes can be improved. The proper use of each guideline is aimed at “make it easy to do itright ”, so there is appropriate use of proven interventions and no use of harmful interventions. Plenty of evidence is available so that well-informed clinicians can reduce errors (primum non nocere), so the first aim is ultimately to improve the health of mother and fetus by providing quality care.
