Living with dystonia presents unique physical and emotional challenges, often compounded by a lack of awareness and understanding of the condition in both the medical community and society at large. Individuals diagnosed with dystonia may face not only the physical difficulties of muscle contractions and movement disorders but also the psychological strain that accompanies living with a chronic and sometimes debilitating condition. In this book, Psychological Support by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Dystonia, I aim to provide a comprehensive resource that integrates the biological and genetic aspects of dystonia with the powerful psychological tools of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Through this fusion of science and therapy, the book offers both patients and healthcare professionals insights into managing the emotional and psychological aspects of dystonia. The structure of the book reflects the multifaceted nature of dystonia and the tailored approaches required for its management. The opening sections explore the biology of the disorder, delving into topics such as genetics, epigenetics, and hereditary diseases, to lay the groundwork for understanding the physiological side of the condition. From there, I introduce the principles of CBT and its application in helping patients cope with the psychological challenges associated with dystonia. CBT offers a practical, evidence-based approach to managing the cognitive and emotional impact of dystonia. Whether it’s addressing feelings of helplessness, coping with chronic pain, or dealing with social stigmas and misconceptions, CBT provides tools that empower individuals to take control of their mental health. This book does not aim to provide a cure for dystonia but rather to offer a psychological roadmap for navigating the condition. The strategies discussed herein can help patients manage their symptoms, make sense of their emotional responses, and ultimately improve their quality of life. For healthcare professionals, this book serves as a guide to integrating CBT into their treatment plans, with tailored approaches for dealing with the complexities of dystonia. I hope this work will inspire both patients and practitioners to embrace the healing potential of the mind, using CBT to build resilience and foster a sense of empowerment in the face of dystonia.

Around the world societies are facing growing aging populations with the concomitant increase in neuropsychiatric disorders. Neuropsychiatric disorders are organic brain diseases with psychiatric symptoms, as in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, that cause cognitive impairment, including dementia, amnesic syndrome, and personality–behavioral changes. As a clinical science, neuropsychiatry aims to explore the complex interrelationship between behavior and brain function from a variety of perspectives, including those of psychology, neurology, and psychiatry. This concise and updated monograph comprises the latest findings in the field and includes chapters on delusional symptoms, mood disorders and neurotic symptoms, cognitive impairment, behavioral and personality changes, and recently, cerebral alterations revealed in PTSD patients and in endogenous psychoses through neuroimaging and neuropathology. These findings will certainly widen the realm of neuropsychiatry going forward and will prove of great value to specialists as well as to academics and trainees in neurology, psychiatry, neuropsychology, neuroradiology, neuropathology, neurophysiology, neurochemistry, and clinical genetics. Ultimately, neuropsychiatry aims to prevent and reduce the suffering of individuals with the psychiatric symptoms of cerebral disorders.

Preventing recidivism is one of the aims of criminal justice, yet existing means of pursuing this aim are often poorly effective, highly restrictive of basic freedoms, and significantly harmful. Incarceration, for example, tends to be disruptive of personal relationships and careers, detrimental to physical and mental health, restrictive of freedom of movement, and rarely more than modestly effective at preventing recidivism. Crime-preventing neurointerventions (CPNs) are increasingly being advocated, and there is a growing use of testosterone-lowering agents to prevent recidivism in sexual offenders, and strong political and scientific interest in developing pharmaceutical treatments for psychopathy and anti-social behaviour. Future neuroscientific advances could yield further CPNs; we could ultimately have at our disposal a range of drugs capable of suppressing violent aggression and it is not difficult to imagine possible applications of such drugs in crime prevention. Neurointerventions hold out the promise of preventing recidivism in ways that are both more effective, and more humane. But should neurointerventions be used in crime prevention? And may the state ever permissibly impose CPNs as part of the criminal justice process, either unconditionally, or as a condition of parole or early release? The use of CPNs raises several ethical concerns, as they could be highly intrusive and may threaten fundamental human values, such as bodily integrity and freedom of thought. In the first book-length treatment of this topic, Treatment for Crime, brings together original contributions from internationally renowned moral and political philosophers to address these questions and consider the possible issues, recognizing how humanity has a track record of misguided, harmful and unwarrantedly coercive use of neurotechnological 'solutions' to criminality. The Engaging Philosophy series is a new forum for collective philosophical engagement with controversial issues in contemporary society.

Did you ever ask whether music makes people smart, why a Parkinson patient's gait is improved with marching tunes, and whether Robert Schumann was suffering from schizophrenia or Alzheimer's disease? This broad but comprehensive book deals with history and new discoveries about music and the brain. It provides a multi-disciplinary overview on music processing, its effects on brain plasticity, and the healing power of music in neurological and psychiatric disorders. In this context, the disorders the plagued famous musicians and how they affected both performance and composition are critically discussed, and music as medicine, as well as music as a potential health hazard are examined. Among the other topics covered are: how music fit into early conceptions of localization of function in the brain, the cultural roots of music in evolution, and the important roles played by music in societies and educational systems. - Topic: Music is interesting to almost everybody - Orientation: This book looks at music and the brain both historically and in the light of the latest research findings - Comprehensiveness: This is the largest and most comprehensive volume on "music and neurology" ever written! - Quality of authors: This volume is written by a unique group of real world experts representing a variety of fields, ranging from history of science and medicine to neurology and musicology
