Increasingly, the importance of sleep is recognized as being on a par with diet and exercise as a key to good health and wellbeing; adequate, restful sleep is key to a healthy lifestyle. Sleep deprivation is associated with poor physical and mental health, including obesity, metabolic disturbances such as diabetes, inflammation, clinical depression, and cognitive impairments. In our youth, inadequate sleep impairs academic performance, is associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder-type symptoms and behaviors, and may exacerbate aggressive, disruptive behavior. Youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience sleep disturbances at rates much higher than their peers in the general population, particularly insomnia. The resultant sleep deprivation in youth with ASD is associated with daytime behavior problems and parental stress. Fortunately, researchers and clinicians now recognize that sleep problems and ASD are closely linked. Since 2000, the number of research studies regarding this link has increased about 20-fold, and we have become aware that poor sleep can be a lifespan issue for individuals with ASD. Given this explosion in research, it is time for a textbook that synthesizes current knowledge, and is accessible to clinicians, researchers, educators, and administrators alike. This book fills that gap.

Edited by recognized experts on physician burnout, this volume features contributions from domestic and international authorities in the field, including academic and community psychiatrists, those involved in residency and medical student education, and members of the American Psychiatric Association Work Group on Psychiatrist Well-being and Burnout.Five sections lay out the scope of the challenge and outline potential interventions: \u0095 The introduction discusses the history and social context of burnout, providing psychiatrists struggling through burnout with important perspective.\u0095 The second section,'The Continuum of Stress, Burnout, and Impairment'explores the potential effects of burnout on clinical care and examines depression and suicide among physicians.\u0095 Environmental Factors Leading to Burnout'identifies contextual elements that seem to contribute to burnout, including the electronic health record and the challenge of balancing professional and personal demands.\u0095 The fourth section of the book discusses a range of systemic and individual interventions, included among them organizational screening for burnout, peer review and support, and mindfulness training and meditation.\u0095 The final section,'Ethics and Burnout,'tackles the moral challenge burnout poses to the profession of psychiatry. Regardless of career stage, readers will benefit from the unique psychiatric perspective on burnout -- and the practical advice on combating its effects -- offered by this guide.","publication_date":"2020-01-01","upload_link":"https:\/\/search.ebscohost.com\/login.aspx?direct=true&site=eds-live&db=nlebk&AN=2527711&authtype=shib&custid=ns346513&group=main&profile=eds","no_of_pages":"","authored_by":"Sheila LoboPrabhu, Richard F.
