Sinopse

The Hidden Crisis in Maternity Care: Up to 45% of Birthing People Experience Trauma. Are You Prepared to Respond?

Standard midwifery and nursing education often neglects the profound impact of trauma. This leaves dedicated practitioners feeling overwhelmed when facing triggered responses, flashbacks, or dissociation in the clinical setting. You entered this profession to provide compassionate care, but without the right tools, you risk inadvertently causing re-traumatization and experiencing moral injury.

Trauma-Informed Midwifery Care: The Essential Handbook for Practice, Protocols, and Provider Resilience is the definitive resource for midwives (CNM, CM, CPM), labor and delivery nurses, students, and birth workers seeking practical, evidence-based strategies. This handbook moves beyond academic theory to offer actionable clinical skills and protocols for every stage of the perinatal period.

Inside this comprehensive guide, you will discover:

The Neurobiology of Trauma: Understand exactly how the brain and nervous system store trauma (including Polyvagal theory), and learn to recognize fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses during labor.

Actionable Protocols: Implement specific guidelines for trauma assessment tools (including ACEs and PCL-5 adaptations), trauma-informed consent protocols, and respectful intimate examinations that prioritize body autonomy.

Clinical Skills for Safety: Master essential strategies for creating safety in clinical encounters, managing triggers and flashbacks during labor, and actively engaging in birth trauma prevention.

Specific Populations: Dedicated guidance for caring for sexual abuse survivors, IPV safety planning, and navigating systemic and racial trauma through cultural humility.

Postpartum PTSD Support: Learn techniques for trauma-informed perineal repair, postpartum PTSD assessment, and supportive infant feeding strategies.

Provider Resilience: Protect your own well-being with practical approaches to managing vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout in midwifery.

Documentation Guidelines: Learn strengths-based documentation practices and how to communicate trauma history sensitively.

This handbook provides the frameworks, scripts, and clinical wisdom necessary to shift the paradigm of maternity care from causing harm to promoting healing.

Transform your practice. Equip yourself with the essential knowledge to provide truly safe, supportive care.

Tympanology - Hearing and the...

Mike Crawford

Tympanology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study of the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and its role in hearing. It delves into the intricacies of ear health, diagnosing ear-related disorders, and understanding how the ear functions. The term "tympanology" is derived from "tympanum," which is the Latin word for the eardrum. This field of study is essential not only for understanding the anatomy and physiology of the ear but also for managing and treating various ear conditions that can affect a person’s hearing.
The ear is a sophisticated organ responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals, which are then interpreted by the brain. The eardrum plays a pivotal role in this process. It is a thin, flexible membrane that vibrates in response to sound waves. These vibrations are transferred to the tiny bones of the middle ear and eventually to the inner ear, where they are converted into nerve signals. Thus, the eardrum acts as the first step in a complex process that allows humans to hear the world around them.
Tympanology covers a broad spectrum of topics, from the anatomy of the ear to the various disorders that can affect the ear, including infections, trauma, and diseases that impact the eardrum and overall hearing. By understanding the delicate structure and function of the eardrum, healthcare professionals can diagnose and treat a wide range of ear-related conditions. Diseases or damage to the eardrum can lead to hearing loss, which can profoundly impact an individual’s quality of life.

World According to Star Wars

Anônimo

""Star Wars is the ultimate mythological tale of our age, a hero's journey that is a tribute to the beauty of human freedom as well as an exploration of its dark complexities. In this gem of a book, the brilliant Cass Sunstein uses the series to explore profound questions about being a parent, a child, and a human. It will change the way you think about your own journey, and it might even make you pick up the phone and call your dad."" – Walter Isaacson
A deeply original celebration of George Lucas’s masterpiece as it relates to history, presidential politics, law, economics, fatherhood, and culture by Harvard legal scholar and former White House advisor.
There’s Santa Claus, Shakespeare, Mickey Mouse, The Bible, and then there’s Star Wars. Nothing quite compares to sitting with down with a young child and hearing the sound of John Williams’ score as those beloved golden letters fill the screen. In this fun, erudite and often moving book, Cass R. Sunstein explores the lessons of Star Wars as they relate to childhood, fathers, the Dark Side, rebellion, and redemption. As it turns out, Star Wars also has a lot to teach us about constitutional law, economics, and political uprisings.
In rich detail, Sunstein tells story of the films’ wildly unanticipated success and what it has to say about why some things succeed while others fail. Ultimately, Sunstein argues, Star Wars is about the freedom of choice and our never-ending ability to make the right decision when the chips are down. Written with buoyant prose and considerable heart, The World According to Star Wars shines new light on the most beloved story of our time.

The Channels of Student Activism...

Amy J. Binder, Jeffrey L. Kidder

An eye-opening analysis of collegiate activism and its effects on the divisions in contemporary American politics.  
 
The past six years have been marked by a contentious political atmosphere that has touched every arena of public life, including higher education. Though most college campuses are considered ideologically progressive, how can it be that the right has been so successful in mobilizing young people even in these environments? 
 
As Amy J. Binder and Jeffrey L. Kidder show in this surprising analysis of the relationship between political activism on college campuses and the broader US political landscape, while liberal students often outnumber conservatives on college campuses, liberal campus organizing remains removed from national institutions that effectively engage students after graduation. And though they are usually in the minority, conservative student groups have strong ties to national right-leaning organizations, which provide funds and expertise, as well as job opportunities and avenues for involvement after graduation. Though the left is more prominent on campus, the right has built a much more effective system for mobilizing ongoing engagement. What’s more, the conservative college ecosystem has worked to increase the number of political provocations on campus and lower the public’s trust in higher education. 
  
In analyzing collegiate activism from the left, right, and center, The Channels of Student Activism shows exactly how politically engaged college students are channeled into two distinct forms of mobilization and why that has profound consequences for the future of American politics.
