Produktbeschreibung
Sufferers of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMDs), including TMJ syndrome, confront not only pain and jaw dysfunction, but also a complex and lengthy recovery process that may not result in total resolution of symptoms. In Principles of Psychological Treatment: Bruxism & Temporomandibular Disorders, a summary of the therapeutic issues and targets for effective psychosocial assessment and intervention in adults is presented. A description of the current professional dental guidelines regarding the role of psychosocial care for TMDs is provided, as well as a review of how clinical guidelines are developed and their value in guiding health-related decision-making. This guide is well-suited for health care practitioners, including physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, dentists, psychologists, mental health clinicians, as well as TMD sufferers and their families who seek to be informed about their care options. This fourth edition of the book includes additional information about the components of behavioral therapies (known as "habit reversal") and their efficacy in this condition.
Autorenporträt
Born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, Paula C. Miceli completed her doctorate in Clinical Psychology at York University. She began her career as a biological scientist, and conducted physiological studies of inflammation-induced neural changes in the gastrointestinal tract. Her interests in clinical research led to a position with a pharmaceutical company, where she led industry-sponsored drug efficacy studies in post-surgical pain and urgency incontinence in Canada. While conducting her doctoral studies, Paula has supervised undergraduate student health psychology research projects, and instructed health psychology courses. She currently practices as a Clinical and Health Psychologist in the Toronto area. Given the continued integration of psychology in medical settings, one of her goals is to enhance the translation of health-related knowledge for psychologists and mental health clinicians working with medical patients. Her work has been published in journals including Pain Research and Management, British Journal of Urology International, Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology, American Journal of Physiology, Clinical Therapeutics, and Autonomic Neuroscience.
