This book elaborates on Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDD) and their treatment in adult women with a special focus on the unique…
clinical presentation of these problems during the Perinatal period. Problems related to chronic, untreated NDD during adulthood are viewed through the lens of pregnant and postpartum mothers to highlight unique struggles as their family unit expands after having children. The content is based on the author&’s clinical experience with mothers under her psychiatric care between 2017-2024 at an outpatient practice, affiliated with Brown University. Comorbid psychiatric problems such as anxiety, mood disorders, trauma and substance use disorders are also reviewed. In addition to sharing clinical anecdotes, the author presents a consolidated review of scientific literature on the subject. I believe that this book can be an important addition to scientific literature at this time, when Neurodiversity is being explored and accepted more in society and we are more receptive to improving women&’s mental health. Afflicted mothers as well as their treatment providers have conveyed to me the profound relief on finally getting accurate diagnosis and treatment for NDDs. Several books have been published documenting the unique presentation and treatment interventions for ADHD and Autism in women, however, this will be the only book addressing symptomology and treatment interventions for NDD specifically during the perinatal period. I have seen how successful long-term treatment with a specialized team of mental health professionals can significantly improve the quality of life not just for the mother but also, for the entire family unit. The book will be divided into two parts: Part 1- Clinical Manifestations and Symptomology in Adult Women with NDD In the first part of the book, I plan to discuss the approach to diagnosis of Neurodevelopmental Disorders in General Adult Psychiatry and understand reasons for missed diagnosis, especially in females. I will outline my diagnostic and therapeutic approach, conceptualizing NDDsymptomology as variations of higher brain functioning rather than categorization of these symptoms as a &“disorder,&” and contemplating potential evolutionary advantages to neurodiversity. Based on my clinical practice, I will discuss tools for clinical assessment, including referral for neuropsychological testing and its utility in adults. In addition to the DSM-5 diagnoses, I will also propose conceptualizing difficulties in functioning and subjective distress in terms of symptom domains (executive dysfunction, hyperactivity/impulsivity, sensory overload and emotional regulation) as reflected in day-to-day functioning and social interactions in the adult life of women. Also, differential diagnoses including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Bipolar disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and personality disorders will be discussed, addressing the puzzling symptom overlap as well as genetic predisposition between these psychiatric illnesses and neurodevelopmental disorders. I will describe this association using clinical case examples and, later in the book, propose the inclusion of trauma-based interventions in treatment of Neurodevelopmental Illnesses in adult women. Lastly, comorbid substance use will be addressed. I will highlight struggles related to complex psychopathology and dual diagnosis. Given my training in Addiction Psychiatry, one of my goals is also to reduce stigma and apprehension about prescribing controlled medications in patients with history of substance use disorders. Part 2- Perinatal perspective on NDD Part 2 will have a specific perinatal focus starting with a detailed description of predisposing factors (Behavioral/Social, Psychological and Biological factors) for distress in Mothers with

violated boundaries, often in many ways. For clinicians employed to work therapeutically with this client group however, the capacity to initiate and maintain boundaries is critical to safety as well as to good treatment outcomes. This book provides a thorough introduction to the subject of professional and therapeutic boundaries and their particular complexities within forensic mental health settings. The contributors, all experts in their respective fields, address the challenges of establishing working boundaries within forensic mental health services from multiple perspectives. They explore the ways in which boundaries can be initiated and maintained in different areas of forensic mental health work, including in psychotherapy, mental health nursing, arts therapies, forensic psychiatry and family therapy, and when working with different client groups, including children and adolescents, offenders with severe personality disorders in high security settings and sex offenders. Consideration is also given to boundaries and homicide, maternal boundary violations and boundaries in a forensic learning disability service. This authoritative, interdisciplinary resource will support all forensic mental health practitioners in this crucial aspect of their work.

in dealing with social issues through critical approaches that acknowledge the positive. From politics and inequality to nature and faith, Mary Holmes shows how a critical and optimistic sociology can help us think about and understand human experience not just in terms of social problems, but in terms of a human capacity to respond to those problems and strive for social change. With contemporary case studies throughout grounding the theory in the real world, this is the perfect companion/antidote to studying sociology.

Parts two and three examine how sexualities are framed by cultural factors and social institutions – including the media, religion, and politics – and considers the impact of how significant issues such as identity, age, health and violence relate to sexuality. Employing a range of international case studies, up to date policy developments, and engaging learning features such as ‘discussion points’ and ′fact file′ sections, this book is essential reading for students studying sexuality across sociology, social policy, social care, media, and politics.

This fascinating book examines the concept of culture from a unique perspective--that of individual occupational therapists who have worked in…
environments very different from those in which they were educated or had worked previously. In Occupational Therapy Across Cultural Boundaries, six occupational therapists relate their experiences living and working in a foreign culture. Each author describes the daily demands placed upon her through immersion into a different way of life and discusses the environmental challenges she had to overcome to be able to live and work successfully. Many of the cultural differences the authors faced forced them to reassess and reconstruct their most basic assumptions of both personal and professional life as they discovered that activities and theories common or applicable in one culture are not necessarily translatable into another. The authors also analyze culture across treatment areas in occupational therapy practice, including mental health and physical disability, with both adults and children.Both beginning and experienced occupational therapists and occupational therapy students will find much valuable information in Occupational Therapy Across Cultural Boundaries. Whether interested in examining occupational therapy’s application to non-Western cultures, or actually contemplating practicing in a different culture, readers will benefit from learning about the experiences of the authors. This unique book is also helpful for occupational therapy students wishing to examine the philosophy of occupational therapy or the significance of culture to human occupation. Professors will find it useful as an ancillary textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses in occupational therapy on topics such as theory, occupation across cultures, or meaningful activity.
