  • Book cover of Anatomie pathologique

    L’évolution continue des connaissances en anatomie pathologique et la place désormais bien établie de cette spécialité dans le diagnostic et le traitement de nombreuses affections, en particulier en cancérologie et en médecine interne, rendent ce volume indispensable à l'apprentissage et à l'exercice de la médecine. C'est en effet sur une démarche "anatomo-radio-clinique" que repose désormais largement la pratique médicale. Il suffit pour s'en convaincre de rappeler l'importance de l'anatomie pathologique dans les classifications internationales des tumeurs (système TNM) et dans le traitement de tumeurs récemment individualisées, dont l'analyse de la morphologie a permis des avancées thérapeutiques majeures. Conçu comme un atlas, cet ouvrage parfaitement à jour illustre les problèmes diagnostiques rencontrés par les médecins dans leur pratique quotidienne et s'agrémente de nombreux outils pédagogiques tels qu'une revue des connaissances en début de chapitre, des tableaux récapitulatifs, des schémas et des résumés de révision. Il témoigne de l’importance grandissante de l'anatomie pathologique, au carrefour des sciences fondamentales – comme la biologie moléculaire et la cytogénétique – et de la clinique.

  • Book cover of The Persona of Ingmar Bergman
    Barbara Young

     · 2015

    Born to a mother who did not want him and a father who humiliated him during his upbringing, Ingmar Bergman somehow endured his dysfunctional family to become one of the great artists of the twentieth century. However, the scars left from his early agony affected him both physically and emotionally. He suffered with a disabling psychosomatic gastrointestinal illness and serious problems in his interpersonal relationships. In The Persona of Ingmar Bergman: Conquering Demons through Film, Barbara Young looks at how the director’s personal life shaped his creative output. A practicing psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, Young probes Bergman’s relationships with his parents, his wives, his children, and his colleagues to explore the meanings of his many films. As Bergman gradually began to work through his psychological problems, he accomplished something that few people have ever done—he analyzed himself. The films examined in this study include the majority of his features, including The Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries, The Virgin Spring, Through a Glass Darkly, The Hour of the Wolf, The Passion of Anna, Cries and Whispers, Face to Face, Autumn Sonata, Fanny and Alexander, and Persona. Young also draws upon recorded interviews and Bergman's autobiographical novels to provide further insight into the director's creative process. While many books have been written about Bergman and analysts have studied particular films, this volume represents a unique approach to understanding an artist through his art. The Persona of Ingmar Bergman will appeal to film and art students, as well as those in the psychotherapy profession, and of course, the director’s fans throughout the world.

  • Book cover of Life Forever Under the Sun:

    In the small town of Santa Crescente, where the surf meets murder, a young boy rises above the waves of despair as he faces life without a mother and watches his father stand trial for her murder. Alberto, almost thirteen, finds a small charm on a walk with nature. His aging grandfather sends him to school while secretly using the charm to reopen his daughter's case of hit and run. Tomas frequently reminisces on the past and faces his own coming of age as the search for the truth begins. The diminutive family makes hard times seem like fun in this heartwarming tale of tackling life's most extreme challenges. Novelist Barbara Young explores modern literature through her varied use of characters. Placing the tradition up against romantic and modern standards, she blends the genres into a central character, Alberto, and examines the changing principles of writing. She sets her young boy in the midst of tragedy, challenging his insight and his wit to see if he can stand alone amid the great forces who have given him life. But the question still remains. Will he bow to the strict rules of tradition, remain fixated in a tragic romantic stupor, or will he flit away with the fast-paced words of the modern day?
