HERRAMIENTAS Y CONSEJOS PARA ABORDAR LA ENFERMEDAD.

La demencia, más allá de una simple pérdida de memoria asociada a la vejez, representa un complejo conjunto de trastornos que afecta a la vida de quienes la padecen y supone un camino repleto de dudas y obstáculos para familiares y amigos. Este libro proporciona una completa mirada sobre los diferentes tipos de demencias, más allá del conocido alzhéimer, y revela cómo afectan y se manifiestan en cada persona.

Natalí Pintos, psicóloga experta en estas enfermedades degenerativas, ofrece estrategias concretas para que los cuidadores lidien con la demencia desde la compasión y la comprensión, y no desde una posición de hostilidad, con el objetivo de que conozcan los síntomas, acepten la «pérdida» de la persona y reconozcan y expresen su dolor.

A través de historias reales y consejos prácticos, estas páginas presentan una novedosa perspectiva que anima a los cuidadores a buscar apoyo y a cuidar de sí mismos mientras asisten a sus seres queridos.

Una mano amiga en forma de manual que brinda las herramientas necesarias para enfrentar la enfermedad con dignidad, amor y un entendimiento más profundo de sus desafíos y recompensas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

TOOLS AND ADVICE FOR ADDRESSING THE DISEASE

Dementia, beyond a simple memory loss associated with old age, represents a complex set of disorders that affects the lives of those who suffer from it and presents a path full of doubts and obstacles for family and friends. This book provides a comprehensive look at the different types of dementia, beyond the well-known Alzheimer's, and reveals how they affect and manifest in each person.

Natalí Pintos, a psychologist expert in these degenerative diseases, offers concrete strategies for caregivers to deal with dementia with compassion and understanding, rather than from a position of hostility, with the goal of recognizing symptoms, accepting the "loss" of the person, and acknowledging and expressing their grief.

Through real stories and practical advice, these pages present a novel perspective that encourages caregivers to seek support and take care of themselves while assisting their loved ones.

A helping hand in the form of a manual that provides the necessary tools to face the disease with dignity, love, and a deeper understanding of its challenges and rewards.

SEE MORE CLEARLY NATURALLY IN A WEEK

Like most people with poor vision, you probably believe your condition is hopeless and there’s nothing you can do except rely on stronger glasses every few years as your eyesight gets worse, followed by a disease such as cataracts or macular degeneration. 

Fortunately, there’s a better way. 

An elite group of eye care professionals known as behavioral optometrists have developed dozens of effective vision therapy eye exercises. These enhance the performance of the entire visual system, resulting in healthier, more relaxed eyes, naturally better eyesight, and a more satisfying lifestyle.

THE POWER VISION PROGRAM FOR BETTER EYESIGHT gives you the best of these exercises to restore vision, youthful appearance and more beautiful eyes.

Read this book and experience the following benefits:

• Increase Natural Focusing Power and Enjoy Freedom From Glasses and Contacts
• Experience Relaxed Vision With Less Eye Strain and Sensitivity to Bright Light and Screens
• Improve Dry Eyes, Myopia, Presbyopia, and Other Common Eye Ailments
• Stop Vision From Getting Worse and Reduce Risk of Degenerative Eye Diseases

If you’ve resigned yourself to a lifetime of inferior vision, there’s a new day dawning. A new freedom you never thought possible. A clearer, brighter future is only a few short weeks away!

CLINICALLY TESTED EYE EXERCISES

THE POWER VISION PROGRAM FOR BETTER EYESIGHT provides you with sixteen clinically tested eye exercises, divided into three modules. 

The first module — the Power Exercises — forms the dynamic core of the program and will give your entire visual system a good basic tune-up, like tuning up an engine. You will feel positive changes taking place in your eyes within a few days and will see the first signs of improvement in a week or so.

The second module — the Booster Exercises — is a set of stress-reduction techniques that will make your eyes feel wonderfully invigorated and relaxed. 

The third module — the Fusion Exercises — builds on the results obtained from the Power Exercises and will increase the range and flexibility of your focusing system. 

Spend at least 10 minutes a day doing as many of the exercises as possible. The more you do, the more improvement you’ll get and the sooner you’ll get it.

How are behavioral scientists increasingly involved to advise global decision-makers in the United Nations and elsewhere?

In 2020, the Psychology Coalition at the United Nations (PCUN) launched a bold new series of books, describing how evidence- based behavioral research is increasingly used by United Nations and other decision-makers, to address global issues. These issues reflect the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030—such as health, poverty, education, peace, gender equality, and climate change.

This PCUN volume brings together 34 experts in 14 concise chapters, to focus on diverse issues in mental, spiritual, and social health (detailed below). The chapters are co-authored by leading global experts as well as 'rising star' students from many nations--offering readers a concise overview of each topic, a glossary of key terms, study questions, and bibliography. This volume is suitable as a textbook for diverse courses in psychology, social work, cross-cultural and international studies.

Drawing from many disciplinary areas, this edited volume explores how the Coronavirus pandemic has disproportionately harmed vulnerable and marginalized people in the U.S. Chapters address harm to people of color that exacerbated structural racism and harm to low-wage workers that highlighted existing inequalities. In addition, the volume provides strategies that have been successful in mitigating these harms and recommendations for a post- pandemic more peaceful and just future.

What do teachers, principals, school administrators, superintendents, state policy makers, and parents need to know about the growing trend to use technology in physical activity environments? How can technology be used to increase not only fitness levels but academic learning in today’s youth? How can kids benefit from increased use of technology in physical education? These questions and others are answered in this volume of the series Educational Policy in the 21st Century: Opportunities, Challenges, and Solutions.

An entire generation is growing up without the benefits of daily physical activity. The daily experiences of our children are centered on the use of technology driven, mostly sedentary, activities. Technology should be considered a viable tool that can increase physical activity levels when implemented effectively. The lack of contemporary programs and strategies that motivate participants to want to participate daily in physical activity has created a culture of inactivity and obesity and is having a profound effect on the physical health and academic learning potential of today’s youth.

In this volume the authors suggest current trends and explore the enormous potential of technology in motivating youth to commit to daily physical activity. Authors detail contemporary programs, teaching strategies and contemporary technologies beginning to be used in schools across the country, and suggest policies, directions, and cost considerations for implementing technology based learning in physical activity and physical education settings.

The purpose of the present book, An Intersectional Approach to Counseling Children and Adolescents with Health Conditions, is to provide mental health professionals and students of counseling, medicine, psychology, social work, and other helping professions, with useful information and helpful suggestions for their work with children and adolescents who experience significant health issues. The chapter authors rely on an intersectional understanding of the human experience and specifically focus on how diverse youth experience, understand, and seek support for specific health conditions and illnesses.

Considering contemporary research that has shed light on some of the ways individuals’ multiple social identities interconnect and interact to compound experiences of illness, health psychology researchers would benefit from applying an intersectional lens in their explorations of the micro and macro-level variables that influence pathways towards health and illness for different groups. For mental health practitioners, an intersectional perspective on diverse children and adolescents’ experiences of specific health conditions will more likely lead to innovative and inclusive interventions that target change at multiple levels.

We are confident that our book will be of great use to mental health practitioners and students who plan to or are currently working with children and adolescents with significant health issues. Readers of the book can focus on a specific health condition that is common among children/adolescents and develop their knowledge, skills, and awareness of the cultural and systemic considerations in working with children/adolescents and their families. Particular attention can be paid to the ways in which the clients’ and the counselors’ intersectional social identities may influence counseling children and adolescents with significant health issues.
