【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Volkmann Contracture, A Simple Guide To The Condition, Diagnosis, Treatment And Related Conditions【電子書籍】[ Kenneth Kee ]

＜p＞This book describes Volkmann Contracture, Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases＜br /＞ Volkmann contracture consists of a deformity of the hand, fingers, and wrist produced by injury to the muscles of the forearm.＜br /＞ It results in a claw like deformity of the hand, fingers, and wrist.＜br /＞ Volkmann ischemic contracture is more common in children.＜br /＞ A similar disorder can occur in the foot.＜br /＞ Volkmann portrayed a contracture of the muscles of the wrist and fingers which result from tight bandaging of the arm in the treatment of fractures about the elbow.＜br /＞ He believed that it was fundamentally due to ischemia of the muscles.＜br /＞ Generally, Volkmann contractures are infrequent, with an incidence of about 0.5%.＜br /＞ The disorder happens most often in children in the first 10 years of life, and follows injuries,mainly to the elbow, and especially those linked with pressure either internal or external.＜br /＞ Causes＜br /＞ Volkmann contracture happens when there is inadequate blood flow (ischemia) to the forearm.＜br /＞ This happens when there is increased pressure due to swelling, a disorder called compartment syndrome.＜br /＞ Injury to the arm (a crush injury or fracture) can cause swelling that presses on blood vessels and reduces blood flow to the arm.＜br /＞ A prolonged reduction in blood flow injures the nerves and muscles, causing them to become stiff and contracted.＜br /＞ When the muscle contracts, it pulls on the joint at the end of the muscle like if it were normally contracted.＜br /＞ But because it is rigid, the joint stays crooked and stuck.＜br /＞ This disorder is called a contracture.＜br /＞ In Volkmann contracture, the muscles of the forearm are seriously damaged.＜br /＞ This causes contracture deformities of the fingers, hand, and wrist.＜br /＞ There are 3 stages of severity in Volkmann contracture:＜br /＞ 1.Mild -- contracture of 2 or 3 fingers only, with no or limited loss of feeling＜br /＞ 2.Moderate -- all fingers are bent and the thumb is stuck in the palm; the wrist may be bent stuck＜br /＞ 3.Severe -- all muscles in the forearm that both flex and extend the wrist and fingers are involved＜br /＞ Symptoms＜br /＞ 1.Decreased sensation＜br /＞ 2.Paleness of the skin＜br /＞ 3.Muscle weakness and loss＜br /＞ 4.Deformity of the wrist, hand, fingers＜br /＞ Medical presentation:＜br /＞ 1.Pain,＜br /＞ 2.Pallor,＜br /＞ 3.Pulselessness＜br /＞ 4.Paresthesias＜br /＞ 5.Paralysis＜br /＞ The wrist is flexed＜br /＞ Fingers are extended at the metacarpo-phalangeal joints and flexed at the inter-phalangeal joints＜br /＞ Forearm is pronated and the elbow flexed＜br /＞ Diagnosis:＜br /＞ Appearance of Contracture and hand＜br /＞ X-ray of the arm for fracture＜br /＞ Tests of the muscles and nerves for their function＜br /＞ Treatment＜br /＞ The goal of treatment is to help people with Volkmann contracture recover some or full use of the arm and hand.＜br /＞ For mild contracture, muscle stretching exercises and splinting the affected fingers may be done.＜br /＞ Surgery may be required to make the tendons longer＜br /＞ For moderate contracture, the surgery is done to repair the muscles, tendons, and nerves.＜br /＞ The arm bones are shortened＜br /＞ For severe contracture, surgery is done to remove muscles, tendons, or nerves that are thickened, scarred, or dead.＜br /＞ These are replaced by muscles, tendons, or nerves transferred from other body areas＜br /＞ Acute stage:＜br /＞ All measures favoring circulation normally are of the greatest value:＜br /＞ 1.Elevation of the part,＜br /＞ 2.Removal of any splint or circulation bandage, and＜br /＞ 3.Application of mild external warmth＜br /＞ Emergency fasciotomy is needed to avoid progression to Volkmann contracture.＜br /＞ Patients with compartment pressures surpassing 30 mm Hg should be sent for emergency fasciotomy.＜br /＞ When needed, the arterial repair and fixation of the fracture should be done＜br /＞ Physical therapy and occupational therapy should be provided＜br /＞ Other treatment:＜br /＞ Muscle surgery＜br /＞ Nerve Exploration＜br /＞ Tendon transfer＜/p＞ ＜p＞TABLE OF CONTENT＜br /＞ Introduction＜br /＞ Chapter 1 Volkmann Contracture＜br /＞ Chapter 2 Causes＜br /＞ Chapter 3 Symptoms＜br /＞ Chapter 4 Diagnosis＜br /＞ Chapter 5 Treatment＜br /＞ Chapter 6 Prognosis＜br /＞ Chapter 7 Claw Hand＜br /＞ Chapter 8 Dupuytren Contracture＜br /＞ Epilogue＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞This book describes Compartment Syndrome, Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases＜br /＞ Compartment syndrome is a serious medical disorder that causes higher pressure in a muscle compartment.＜br /＞ It can result in muscle and nerve damage and disorders with blood flow.＜br /＞ Compartment syndrome is produced by a higher pressure within a closed anatomical space, which involves the circulation and function of the tissues within that space.＜br /＞ This may lead to temporary or permanent injury to muscles and nerves.＜br /＞ Compartment syndrome can be acute or chronic:＜br /＞ Acute compartment syndrome is most often produced by trauma, which may be relatively minor.＜br /＞ Chronic compartment syndrome is normally produced by exercise and manifests with recurrent pain and disability, which stop when the cause is ceased but return when the activity is restarted.＜br /＞ Causes＜br /＞ Thick layers of tissue, called fascia, separate the groups of muscles in the arms and legs from each other.＜br /＞ Inside each sheet of fascia is a restricted space called a compartment.＜br /＞ The compartment affects the muscle tissue, nerves, and blood vessels.＜br /＞ Fascia encloses these structures, similar to the way in which insulation envelops wires.＜br /＞ Any swelling in a compartment will lead to higher pressure in that area.＜br /＞ This higher pressure compresses the muscles, blood vessels, and nerves.＜br /＞ If this pressure is increased too much, blood flow to the compartment will be obstructed.＜br /＞ This can cause permanent damage to the muscle and nerves.＜br /＞ If the pressure lasts long enough, the muscles may die and the arm or leg will not move.＜br /＞ Acute compartment syndrome may be caused by:＜/p＞ ＜ol＞ ＜li＞Trauma, such as a crush injury or surgery＜/li＞ ＜li＞Broken bone＜/li＞ ＜li＞Very bruised muscle＜/li＞ ＜li＞Severe sprain＜/li＞ ＜li＞A cast or bandage that is too tight＜/li＞ ＜li＞Fractures＜/li＞ ＜li＞Crush injury.＜br /＞ Symptoms＜/li＞ ＜li＞Decreased sensation, numbness, tingling, weakness of the affected area＜/li＞ ＜li＞Paleness of skin＜/li＞ ＜li＞Serious pain that does not go away after taking pain medicine＜/li＞ ＜li＞Swelling or inability to move the affected part＜br /＞ Acute compartment syndromes normally manifest within 48 hours of injury.＜br /＞ Diagnosis＜br /＞ Diagnosis is basically medical with identification of patients at danger and early signs.＜br /＞ Intra-compartmental pressure is measured by several methods, such as needle manometry, infusion methods, wick catheter, pressure transducers or side-ported needles＜br /＞ MRI scans help make the diagnosis of compartment syndrome in medically uncertain cases＜/li＞ ＜/ol＞ ＜p＞Treatment＜br /＞ The purpose of treatment is to avoid permanent injury.＜br /＞ For acute compartment syndrome, surgery is required immediately.＜br /＞ Any delay in surgery can result in permanent injury.＜br /＞ The surgery is called fasciotomy and requires cutting the fascia and muscle to alleviate pressure.＜br /＞ All possibly constricting dressings, casts and splints must be taken off.＜br /＞ Splitting a plaster is not adequate.＜br /＞ The compartment pressure should be gauged.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Open fasciotomy:＜br /＞ Indications for fasciotomy differ between different doctors such as:＜/p＞ ＜ol＞ ＜li＞An absolute compartment pressure greater than 30-40 mm Hg with a medical picture consistent with compartment syndrome;＜/li＞ ＜li＞Difference between diastolic pressure and compartment pressure less than 30 mm Hg or＜/li＞ ＜li＞Difference between mean arterial pressure and compartment pressure less than 40 mm Hg.＜br /＞ The skin and deep fascia must be opened out along the whole length of the compartment.＜br /＞ All four compartments may require to be opened in cases affecting the leg.＜br /＞ Following fasciotomy, the wound should be kept open.＜br /＞ Recovery may be helped by suturing, skin grafting or the wound left to recover by itself.＜br /＞ Debridement may be required for any muscle necrosis＜br /＞ The affected area must be elevated above heart level to reduce swelling＜/li＞ ＜/ol＞ ＜p＞TABLE OF CONTENT＜br /＞ Introduction＜br /＞ Chapter 1 Compartment Syndrome＜br /＞ Chapter 2 Causes＜br /＞ Chapter 3 Symptoms＜br /＞ Chapter 4 Diagnosis＜br /＞ Chapter 5 Treatment＜br /＞ Chapter 6 Prognosis＜br /＞ Chapter 7 Paresthesia＜br /＞ Chapter 8 Carpal Tunnel Syndrome＜br /＞ Epilogue＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Learning ACT for Group Treatment An Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Skills Training Manual for Therapists【電子書籍】[ Darrah Westrup, PhD ]

＜p＞For many clients, group therapy is a more practical treatment option than one-on-one therapy sessions. The financial cost of group therapy is substantially less than individual therapy, and research shows it can be just as effective. However, group therapy also presents unique challenges, and is often more difficult to administer. That’s why professionals need a solid plan of action when using group therapy to treat clients.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In recent years, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) has gained immense popularity. Based in values, mindfulness, and committed action, this therapeutic model has proven successful in treating a number of psychiatric disorders, including anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, eating disorders, trauma, and relationship problems. However, despite the popularity of this modality, there are very limited resources available when it comes to applying ACT in a group setting.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Learning ACT for Group Treatment＜/em＞ is a comprehensive, powerful manual for clinicians, therapists, and counselors looking to implement ACT in group therapy with clients. A composite of stand-alone sessions, the book provides detailed explanations of each of the core ACT processes, printable worksheets, tips on group session formatting, and a wide range of activities that foster willingness, cooperation, and connection among participants.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the book, professionals will see how the benefits of ACT can actually be enhanced in a group setting, particularly because there are more participants for ACT exercises. This leads to increased accountability among clients, and allows them to play both an active role and the role of the observer during treatment. The book also includes concrete tips for applying ACT to a number of treatment scenarios, including inpatient group therapy, partial hospitalization programs, outpatient programs, and community self-help groups.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With detailed exercises and group activities, this book has everything therapists need to start using ACT in group settings right away.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Aphasia is a medical neurological disorder caused by injury to the parts of the brain that are accountable for language production or processing.＜br /＞ For most people, these regions are on the left side of the brain.＜br /＞ It may happen suddenly or progressively dependent on the form and site of brain tissue affected.＜br /＞ Aphasia normally happens suddenly, often after a stroke or head injury, but it may also form slowly, as the effect of a brain tumor or a progressive neurological disease.＜br /＞ The disorder reduces the expression and understanding of language as well as reading and writing.＜br /＞ Aphasia may co-exist with speech disorders, such as dysarthria or apraxia of speech, which also occur from brain injury.＜br /＞ Primary features of the disorder are:＜/p＞ ＜ol＞ ＜li＞Difficulty in articulating oneself when speaking,＜/li＞ ＜li＞Difficulty comprehending speech, and＜/li＞ ＜li＞Difficulty with reading and writing.＜br /＞ Aphasia is not a sickness but a symptom of brain injury.＜br /＞ Even though it is mainly seen in patients who have suffered a stroke, aphasia can also occur from a brain tumor, infection, inflammation, head injury or dementia that involve language-linked regions of the brain.＜br /＞ The form and seriousness of language dysfunction is dependent on the exact site and spread of the injured brain tissue.＜br /＞ Aphasia is a problem with communication.＜br /＞ Normally, aphasia can be categorized into four broad groups:＜/li＞ ＜li＞Expressive aphasia (also called Broca's aphasia) affects difficulty in passing on thoughts through speech or writing.＜br /＞ The person knows what she/he wants to say, but cannot find the words he needs.＜/li＞ ＜li＞Receptive aphasia (Wernicke's aphasia) affects difficulty comprehending spoken or written language.＜br /＞ The patient hears the voice or sees the print but cannot make sense of the words.＜/li＞ ＜li＞Global aphasia results from severe and extensive damage to the language areas of the brain.＜br /＞ People lose almost all language function, both comprehension and expression.＜br /＞ They cannot speak or understand speech, nor can they read or write.＜/li＞ ＜li＞Patients with anomic or amnesia aphasia, the least serious form of aphasia, have difficulty in using the correct names for special objects, people, places, or events.＜br /＞ There are many different types of aphasia; no two people have the same experience.＜br /＞ The doctor also normally tests the person’s capability to comprehend and produce language, such as following commands, answering questions, naming objects, and carrying on a conversation＜br /＞ Most patients will go through a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan to find out the presence of a brain injury and to recognize its exact site.＜br /＞ Speech-language treatment is used to help patients reclaim their ability to communicate.＜br /＞ Aphasia treatment focuses to get better a person’s capability to communicate by assisting him or her to use residual language abilities, recover language abilities as much as possible, and learn other ways of communicating, such as gestures, pictures, or use of electronic devices.＜br /＞ Medical treatment of aphasia is regarded experimental; dopaminergic, cholinergic, and stimulant drugs have been tried, but no clear advantage has been proven in large trials＜br /＞ SSRI antidepressants have been revealed to assist the emotional and behavioral problems.＜br /＞ Some trials suggest advantage from transcranial magnetic stimulation in patients with aphasia.＜/li＞ ＜/ol＞ ＜p＞TABLE OF CONTENT＜br /＞ Introduction＜br /＞ Chapter 1 Aphasia＜br /＞ Chapter 2 Causes＜br /＞ Chapter 3 Symptoms＜br /＞ Chapter 4 Diagnosis＜br /＞ Chapter 5 Treatment＜br /＞ Chapter 6 Prognosis＜br /＞ Chapter 7 Stroke＜br /＞ Chapter 8 Dyslexia＜br /＞ Epilogue＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Leaky Gut Syndrome, (Intestine Permeability) A Simple Guide To The Condition, Diagnosis, Treatment And Related Conditions【電子書籍】[ Kenneth Kee ]

＜p＞Leaky Gut Syndrome (Intestine Permeability) is a medical disorder that happens when the wall of the GI (gastrointestinal) tract is damaged.＜br /＞ A healthy intestinal wall permits only nutrients to pass into the bloodstream.＜br /＞ When the intestinal wall is injured or impaired, larger molecules (such as incompletely digested fats, proteins and toxins) pass through, as well.＜br /＞ The intestinal wall barrier of a healthy intestinal mucosa is not a complete one to start with.＜br /＞ Small amounts of molecules of different sizes and features do pass through the intact epithelium by both active and passive methods.＜br /＞ Normally, the larger the molecule, the more unlikely it is to be permitted across.＜br /＞ When the intestinal lining becomes inflamed or injured, it becomes harder to keep foreign, large particles out.＜br /＞ The intestinal wall barrier becomes permeable or penetrable for large particles.＜br /＞ When the spaces between cells widen up, larger particles are permitted to be absorbed into the body.＜br /＞ Normally the body observes only tiny food antigens and restricted quantity of bacteria.＜br /＞ In LGS, the wall of the small intestine becomes inflamed and irritated allowing metabolic and microbial toxins normally remaining within the small intestines to pass into the colon to enter the blood stream.＜br /＞ In medical terms this is called increased intestinal permeability.＜br /＞ Leaky Gut is a primary provider for asthma, food allergies, chronic sinusitis, eczema, urticaria, migraine, irritable bowel, fungal disorders, fibromyalgia, and inflammatory joint disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis.＜br /＞ It also adds to PMS, uterine fibroid, breast fibroids, chronic fatigue syndrome and pediatric immune deficiencies.＜br /＞ The four main causes of leaky gut are:＜/p＞ ＜ol＞ ＜li＞Poor diet＜/li＞ ＜li＞Chronic stress＜/li＞ ＜li＞Toxin overload＜/li＞ ＜li＞Bacterial imbalance＜br /＞ Leaky Gut Symptoms are:＜/li＞ ＜li＞Bloating＜/li＞ ＜li＞Food sensitivities＜/li＞ ＜li＞Thyroid disorders＜/li＞ ＜li＞Fatigue＜/li＞ ＜li＞Joint pain＜br /＞ There is a four-step treatment process that :＜/li＞ ＜li＞Remove foods and factors that damage the gut＜/li＞ ＜li＞Replace with healing foods＜/li＞ ＜li＞Repair with specific supplements＜/li＞ ＜li＞Rebalance with probiotics＜br /＞ There are many supplements that hold up the digestive health, but the most advantageous leaky gut supplements are l-glutamine, probiotics, digestive enzymes, aloe vera juice, quercetin, NAG and licorice root.＜br /＞ Some doctors believe lifestyle alterations, such as decreasing stress and enhancing nutrition, may be the best methods to treat symptoms due to leaky gut syndrome.＜/li＞ ＜/ol＞ ＜p＞TABLE OF CONTENT＜br /＞ Introduction＜br /＞ Chapter 1 Leaky Gut Syndrome＜br /＞ Chapter 2 Causes＜br /＞ Chapter 3 Symptoms＜br /＞ Chapter 4 Diagnosis＜br /＞ Chapter 5 Treatment＜br /＞ Chapter 6 Prognosis＜br /＞ Chapter 7 Leaky Gut and Related Diseases＜br /＞ Chapter 8 Digestion Process＜br /＞ Epilogue＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Treatment of Male Infertility【電子書籍】

＜p＞Our insight into the mechanisms of the physiology of reproduction has experienced a swift and constant development these last few years. The advent of more sophisticated diagnostic methods and their relatively easy clinical application allow for the incorporation of that knowledge into the evaluation of the infertile couple. These facts, together with an obvious change in social psychology, have facilitated the development of different specialities dealing with the problems of infertility. It is now possible in medical centers all around the world to undertake a better disposition of the infertile husband to look for advice, to be studied, and treated. Confronted with this situation we are still unable to offer specific therapy in most cases; however, empirically based therapy abounds. Advances in therapy have not kept pace with our increased physio logical knowledge and improved diagnostic techniques. Patho physiological mechanisms and etiological factors in male infertility are largely unknown. This has significantly hampered both clinical evaluation and advances in treatment allowing for frequent non scientific therapeutic incursions into the armamentarium of the an drologist. Several factors have given birth to therapeutic "fashions", which are bound to survive as long as this state of lack of knowledge con tinues. For example, we may ask whether the treatment of varicocele constitutes a fashion? Though we accept the treatment of varicocele as the best available treatment of male infertility, we do not know its mechanism of action and so we cannot predict a therapeutic result.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Treatment-Resistant Depression【電子書籍】

＜p＞＜strong＞Treatment-resistant Depress＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Successful management of patients with treatment-resistant depression requires a thorough understanding of the biological basis for both the depression and its failure to respond to standard treatments. This book clearly and succinctly summarizes the latest scientific research and its applications in clinical practice.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A first step is a clear definition of what constitutes treatment-resistant depression so that clinical trials and other studies are using common criteria, enabling comparison and meta-analysis of their outcomes. The opening chapter reviews definitions and predictors of treatment-resistant depression originating from different fields and discusses their usefulness in clinical practice and clinical research. The next chapter proposes a new definition, adapting terminology from medicine.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Biological classification requires identification of genetic risk factors and gene variants have been identified as accounting for 50% of the variance in the clinical outcomes of antidepressant treatments. Chapter 3 describes several genes already associated with treatment-resistant depression and, while further work is needed to translate findings into clinical recommendations, suggests that genetic prediction of treatment resistance could become a widespread clinical reality within a few years.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Most patients with treatment-resistant depression will be treated pharmacologically, so three chapters review the latest evidence for pharmacological best practice in switching strategies for antidepressants, the role of antipsychotics and augmentation strategies to complement lithium.＜/p＞ ＜p＞There are two major alternatives to pharmacotherapy: neuromodulation and psychotherapy. The brain intervention chapter summarizes clinical research and experience with electroconvulsive therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation, vagus nerve stimulation, deep brain stimulation and magnetic seizure therapy. The final chapter reviews the literature pertaining to the effectiveness of various forms of psychotherapy in patients who have not responded to antidepressant pharmacotherapy, explaining that patients who have not responded to one or two trials of antidepressant medication have a 30%-50% chance of responding to a focused psychotherapy. It proposes indications for psychotherapy in treatment-resistant depression and summarizes general therapeutic principles.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Essential reading for all psychiatrists managing patients with this distressing disorder.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Geriatric Oncology Treatment, Assessment and Management【電子書籍】

＜p＞Cancer and aging are integrally related. Cancer incidence and mortality increase with age, with most cancer diagnoses and deaths occurring in patients aged 65 and older. The aging of the Baby Boomer population, along with an overall increase in life expectancy, points to a doubling of the U.S. population over age 65 by the year 2030. This demographic shift, combined with the known association of cancer and aging, is expected to bring about a rapid growth in the older cancer-patient population. It is clear that geriatric principles must become part of oncology care. The evaluation and development of treatment recommen- tions for an older adult with cancer can be challenging for many reasons. Tumor biology and response to therapy are affected by age. In addition, age-related factors may impact treatment patterns, tolerance, and efficacy. These age-related factors include functional status declines, comorbid conditions, changes in cognitive function, weakening of organ function, decreases in physiologic reserve, and faltering social support.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞First described as a distinct category in 1943, autism was officially categorized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in 1980. Today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that 1 in 36 children and 1 in 45 adults in the United States have autism spectrum disorder (ASD).＜/p＞ ＜p＞For decades, applied behavior analysis (ABA) interventions were the standard for ASD. These sessions employed repetitive, drill-type practices to help patients manage interfering and disruptive behaviors that impeded learning. However, the children exposed to ABA often demonstrated a lack of enthusiasm and motivation. Pivotal response treatment (PRT) was developed to address this challenge, integrating motivational elements into interventions to achieve better, lasting outcomes.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Using clear, accessible language and plentiful case examples, Pivotal Response Treatment for Autism describes detailed, practical therapeutic steps for assisting patients in areas that include＜/p＞ ＜p＞?
