"Plus de 650 000 en France, près de 80 millions dans le monde : c'est le nombre de personnes qui pourraient être concernées par l'autisme. Ce livre expose, pour la première fois, les découvertes du géniticien Thomas Bourgeron, chercheur à l'institut Pasteur. Ses travaux ont révolutionné notre compréhension de l'autisme en démontrant sa part génétique. C'est ouvrage réunit le bilan des immenses progrès scientifiques dans la connaissance de l'autisme aujourd'hui. Avec son équipe, l'auteur nous emmène dans une enquête passionnante, au coeur de l'ADN, à la recherche des gènes associés à l'autisme (ou plutôt à la diversité des personnes autistes!). Grâce à la génétique, Thomas Bourgeron a identifié dans l'autisme le rôle majeur des synapses, ces zones permettant la commucation entre les neurones. L'auteur propose une approche de l'autisme reposant avant tout sur des données scientifiques solides. Ils défend aussi l'idée qu'il faut travailler avec des personnes autistes et leurs proches pour développer de nouvelles pistes d'accompagnement personnalisé, pour améliorer leur qualité de vie et leur autonomie."

This Textbook addresses a gap in the market, as currently there are no contemporary books exploring nursing within a prison setting. The main focus is the provision of healthcare in the Prison Service of England and Wales, although examples will also be drawn from the United States of America and Australia. Healthcare within prison settings has changed remarkably to address the needs of the changing prison populations. Thus, this text is clearly structured to support student nurses to understand the role of the nurse within prison and how the different specialities of nursing are applied in this unique setting. This textbook provides an overview of the context of prison, prisoners, and healthcare, as well as the experiences of nurse specialists who work in this field, including adult, mental health, and learning disability nurses across primary care, mental health services, substance misuse and end-of-life care. This volume is informative for both undergraduate student nurses and for qualified nurses and dispels many myths regarding working as a nurse in a prison. Each chapter is written by experts within the field, including nurses who have worked or still working within the prison setting. An important objective of this work is to inform student nurses of the possibility and opportunity of a nursing career within a prison setting. .

This textbook provides nurses, allied health and social care professionals with the background knowledge necessary to support individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families. It is a unique and viable resource which is particularly timely, as recent decades have seen a significant change in the demographics and associated care and support needs of this population. The textbook is laid into four sections to provide a logical structure for the content with chapters developing key topic areas relevant to the field. The introductory section sets the overall context for the book and considers the importance of developing an understanding of intellectual disability as a core concept identifying philosophies and models of service that underpin health and social care across the lifespan. Communication as a basis for caring and the overall concept of person-centred caring in a multidisciplinary context is considered. The second section explores key concepts from birth to adulthood exploring the nature of intellectual disability, the child with intellectual disability and other related neurodevelopmental conditions. The third section explores adulthood to older age and considers specific health care needs, understanding behaviour and other fundamental concepts including mental health, ageing and palliative care. The fourth and final section explores the integration of health and social care addressing such issues as supporting and enabling families, education, employment, and sexuality and relationships. Edited by experienced and widely respected professionals, this textbook is written by international practitioners, educators and researchers who all play critical roles in working with individuals with intellectual disability and their families.
