The care we dream of : liberatory & transformative approaches to LGBTQ+ health /

Sharman, Zena, 1979-,


"The follow-up to the Lambda Literary Award-winning anthology The Remedy: new ways of imagining what LGBTQ+ health care could look like. What if you could trust in getting the health care you need in ways that felt good and helped you thrive? What if the health system honoured and valued queer and trans people's lives, bodies, and expertise? What if LGBTQ+ communities led and organized our own health care as a form of mutual aid? What if every aspect of our health care was rooted in a commitment to our healing, pleasure, and liberation? LGBTQ+ health care doesn't look like this today, but it could. This is the care we dream of. The Care We Dream Of is not quite an essay collection, and not quite an anthology. Instead, it's a hybrid kind of book that weaves together the author's essays on topics like queering health and healing, transforming the health system, kinship, aging, and death, alongside stories, poetry and non-fiction pieces by a diverse group of LGBTQ+ writers including Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, Kai Cheng Thom, Jillian Christmas, jaye simpson, Carly Boyce, Sand Chang, Blyth Barnow and Joshua Wales. The book also includes interviews with activists, health care workers and researchers whose work offers insights into what liberatory and transformative approaches to LGBTQ+ health can look like in practice. The Care We Dream Of offers possibilities - grounded in historical examples, present-day experiments, and dreams of the future - for more liberatory and transformative approaches to LGBTQ+ health and healing. It challenges readers to think differently about LGBTQ+ health and asks what it would look like if our health care were rooted in a commitment to the flourishing and liberation of all LGBTQ+ people. This book is a calling out, a calling in, and a call to action. It is a spell of healing and tranformation, rooted in love."--

Concise guide to child and adolescent psychiatry

Parikh, Tapan,


Summary: Since the publication of the fifth edition of the Concise Guide to Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in 2017, the field has evolved significantly. Evaluation methods have been sharpened, evidence-based treatments have multiplied, stigma surrounding mental illness has waned, and debates about disorders and treatments have surged in the media. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic, the widespread adoption of social media, and ongoing challenges with access to care have reshaped how psychiatric professionals support young patients and their families. This sixth edition distills and incorporates the latest research and the collective clinical expertise that leading experts consider most relevant, delivering actionable insights tailored to today's practice. Key updates include the following: • Every section has been revised to reflect DSM-5-TR criteria• Outdated diagnostic and treatment information has been pruned and new recommendations have been made• A brand-new chapter on neuromodulation has been added• Two new expert authors have joined as contributors Crucially, the guide retains its core strengths: the authors bring extensive clinical and teaching experience, abundant summary tables provide rapid access to essential information, key references and additional readings offer pathways for further study, and recommended resources for parents reinforce the clinician-family partnership. Covering the diagnosis and treatment of neurodevelopmental, anxiety, mood, trauma-related, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and others, this concise guide remains rich in practical guidance. Designed as a primer for medical and mental health students and trainees, it also serves as a focused, up-to-date resource for practicing clinicians. Chapter 1. Introduction Chapter 2. Evaluation and Treatment Planning Chapter 3. Neurodevelopmental Disorders Chapter 4. Schizophrenia Chapter 5. Bipolar Disorder Chapter 6. Depressive Disorders Chapter 7. Anxiety Disorders Chapter 8. Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders Chapter 9. Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorders Chapter 10. Feeding and Eating Disorders Chapter 11. Elimination Disorders Chapter 12. Sleep-Wake Disorders Chapter 13. Gender Dysphoria Chapter 14. Disruptive, Impulse-Control, and Conduct Disorders Chapter 15. Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders Chapter 16. Special Clinical Circumstances Chapter 17. Psychopharmacology Chapter 18. Psychosocial Treatments Chapter 19. Neuromodulation in Children and Adolescents. "The field of pediatric mental health has continued to grow and develop. The body of clinical research and empirically supported treatments has grown, evaluation practices have been refined, awareness of emotional and behavioral problems in youth has increased, progress has been made in decreasing the stigma of mental illness and obtaining parity for insurance coverage, and the lay media continue to be flooded with controversies regarding psychiatric disorders and their treatments. In the world at large, major influences include the acute and chronic effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on youth and families, concerns about the influences of social media on children and adolescents, the increasing gap between the need for mental health services and availability (only partially addressed by the growth in collaborative care), and many changes in the political atmosphere"--
