A Psychiatrist's Stories of Mind and Body

A profound exploration of the art and magic of writing by New York Times bestselling author Isabel Allende. In this deeply personal and insightful book, Isabel Allende delves into her creative process, reflecting on nearly half a century of writing that has captivated millions of readers worldwide. For Isabel, writing is more than a craft. It is an addiction, a means of preserving memory, and a way to make sense of life. She offers readers an intimate glimpse into her creative world, where stories take shape through intuition, discipline, and a deep connection to the human experience. It is also a glimpse into the life of a writer who views literature as a portal to understanding the chaos of life. Story Telling is not a prescriptive guide to writing. Rather, it is a conversation. In it, Isabel shares her triumphs, mistakes, and lessons learned from the challenges and joys of writing. She intertwines her own stories with invaluable wisdom for anyone pursuing the craft, making this book equally a memoir, a masterclass in the alchemy of storytelling, and a celebration of the enduring power of stories.

This book examines the social and cultural meanings of mental illness and psychiatric hospitalisation in early twentieth-century Greece. Although Greek psychiatrists were trained in countries such as France and Germany, and followed general European models of psychiatry, they practiced within a different economic, social, and cultural context. By focusing on a country on the periphery of Europe, this book explores new dimensions of mental health care on the continent, and illustrates how European theories were adapted by Greek psychiatrists. The author presents case studies of two Greek mental health hospitals, Dromokaitio and Eginitio, both of which were situated in Athens, but treated patients from all over Greece. Exploring how patients came to be admitted to the hospitals, the book highlights the relationship between communities and mental health institutions, and thus, the interplay between society and asylum. It investigates both private and public discourses around mental illness and hospitalisation, bringing to the forefront patients, family members, state and local authorities, charitable organisations, and medical professionals. Combining multiple perspectives on psychiatric hospitalisation, this book provides a nuanced account of the history of mental illness and health care in Greece, and highlights the different purposes, limitations, and contradictions inherent in treating the mentally ill.

'The health and wellness industry isn't your friend. It isn't a reliable path to wellbeing, nor a source of sound advice on losing weight, getting fit or curing chronic pain. It's a multi-trillion-pound con. A parasite, it feeds on your hopes and fears, exploits your naivety and cashes in on your repeated failures.' This book is your blueprint for taking back control. --- The global health and wellness market is worth over £5 trillion. But the expensive supplements, fad diets and quick-fix treatments aren't benefiting our health - they're making us fatter, sicker and unhappier. Drawing on more than two decades of experience, exercise scientist Dr Nick Tiller pulls back the curtain on an industry that values profit over people. He exposes how wellness marketing exploits our biases, why social media amplifies the loudest voices rather than the most credible and how bad science drives health misinformation. From weight-loss drugs and cold plunges to wearable tech and alternative therapies, separate fact from fiction and discover what truly works. This is essential reading for anyone ready to see wellness culture for what it is: dangerous, dishonest and long overdue for a reckoning.

The Health and Wellness Lie

<div>Leading pain expert Dr. Rachel Zoffness bridges the gap between medicine and psychology to get to the heart of understanding—and treating—pain—it's The Body Keeps the Score for chronic pain. Every one of us will experience pain, be it back pain, the pain of childbirth, or living in an aging&nbsp;body. Not a single one of us will escape. But what if everything you thought you knew about pain was ... wrong? &nbsp; We’ve been told that pain is purely physical, something to do just with bones and body parts. The truth is that pain is constructed by the brain—influenced not just by injuries, but also by emotions, expectations, and environment. This means you have infinitely more control over pain than you ever imagined: because if the brain&nbsp;can change, pain&nbsp;can change.&nbsp; &nbsp; Rooted in cutting-edge neuroscience and rich patient stories, Dr. Rachel Zoffness completely upends the myths we’ve been sold—finally reconnecting physical and emotional pain, and providing a roadmap for healing. The fact is that chronic pain is treatable. But to do that, we must target the whole person—not just a body part. A groundbreaking, revolutionary book that finally offers access to the world’s most powerful painkiller: YOU. “This book is a must read for anyone struggling with chronic pain. Filled with moving stories and the latest science, Zoffness explains how pain works and why so many treatments fall short. Her message is ultimately a hopeful one: By changing our brains we can lessen our pain. I highly recommend." ―Anna Lembke, MD, Professor and Medical Director, Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic, Stanford University, New York Times bestselling author of Dopamine Nation "In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Zoffness dismantles outdated myths about pain and brilliantly reveals new ways to overcome it. Filled with the latest science, this is a must read for both doctors and patients, and frankly anyone grappling with chronic pain.” ―William W. Li, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Eat To Beat Disease, former faculty at Harvard Medical School</div>

The New Science of Pain and How to Heal

Tell Me Where It Hurts

Tuberculosis has been entwined with hu­manity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is seen as a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it. In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John be­came fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequi­ties that allow this curable, preventable infec­tious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year. In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry's story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world-and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.

'ENTHRALLING ... A PASSIONATE, WELL-ARGUED AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING READ' - The Times AN AMAZON BOOK OF THE YEAR For readers of Chris van Tulleken, Tim Spector and Ben Goldacre: An international bestseller which reveals how modern-day crises have been caused by the medical establishment, and what you really need to know about your health. Is HRT unsafe? Should you avoid giving peanut butter to small children? Blind Spots uncovers how inaccurate research drives medical myths which can spark public health crises. Doctors said for decades that opioids were not addictive, igniting the opioid crisis. They refused menopausal women hormone replacement therapy, causing unnecessary suffering. They demonised natural fat in foods, driving patients to eat processed carbohydrates as obesity soared. Modern medicine shines when it draws on good scientific studies. But when medicine is led by dogmatic groupthink, it's everyday people who fall victim. Blind Spots examines the latest research to reveal the truths essential to our health.

Notes to John

The incredible history and promise of inter-species organ transplantation, from an award-winning transplant surgeon. With more than 100,000 patients in the United States waiting for life-saving organ transplants, the shortage of organs will never be solved if someone must die for someone else to be saved. And yet a solution is well within reach: xenotransplantation, or the transplanting of organs between different species—the once unimaginable scientific achievement that Joshua Mezrich explores in Every Living Creature. The story begins with efforts using chimpanzees and baboons from the 1960s through the 1990s, rife with ethical and practical complications and disappointments. The successful cloning of Dolly the sheep revived xeno-optimism, followed by the discovery of CRISPR-Cas9, which finally opened the door to xenotransplantation in humans, using genetically modified pigs as organ donors. The protagonists of this story are as incredible as the science it details: a transgender visionary, the highest-paid female CEO in the world, who simply wants her daughter to live; the surgeon saved by a high-risk heart transplant, who swears by the promise of pigs’ organs; the brilliant and brash surgeon-scientist-entrepreneur, who is risking everything to make xenotransplantation a reality. Each plays a part in what is, in the end, the story of a miracle—not the answer to a prayer, as Every Living Creature makes clear, but a miracle we can breed.

Recht, Ethik und Ökonomie der Biotechnologie

Das Buch beschäftigt sich mit den normativen Rahmenbedingungen der gesundheitlichen Versorgung von Onkologiepatient:innen unter Pandemiebedingungen. Ethische, rechtliche und ökonomische Herausforderungen, wie z.B. Triage und Allokation, Einschränkung der Grundrechte und -freiheiten und der Schutz von Mitarbeiter:innen bedeuten, dass die Erfahrungen aus der Corona-Pandemie eine Gelegenheit bieten, Wissen für zukünftige Situationen zu generieren. Die durch das SARS-CoV-2 ausgelöste Pandemie stellte das deutsche Gesundheitssystem vor bislang ungekannte Herausforderungen. Während der Pandemie müssen medizinisch Handelnde (insbesondere auch in der Krebsversorgung) wegen aktuell begrenzter Ressourcen Prioritäten setzen. Dies wirkt sich direkt auf klinische Entscheidungs- und Behandlungsprozesse aus und wirft ethische, medizinrechtliche und gesundheitsökonomische Fragen auf.
