Book Description
This report summarizes information received from 106 malaria-endemic countries and from malaria control partners. It highlights continued progress made towards meeting international targets for malaria control to be achieved by 2010 and by 2015. International funds disbursed for malaria control increased from $200 million in 2004 to $1.5 billion in 2009. Since 2008, more than 289 million insecticide-treated mosquito nets have been delivered to sub-Saharan Africa, enough to protect three quarters of the 765 million persons at risk of the disease. Over the last decade, 11 countries in the Africa Region and 32 countries in other regions showed reductions of 50% or greater in either confirmed malaria cases or malaria admissions and deaths. Malaria control is making a major contribution to reducing mortality in children less than 5 years old and to attaining the health-related Millennium Development Goals.

Book Description
The concept of reproductive health promises to play a crucial role in improving women's health and rights around the world. It was internationally endorsed by a United Nations conference in 1994, but remains controversial because of the challenge it presents to conservative agencies: it challenges policies of suppressing public discussion on human sexuality and regulating its private expressions. Reproductive Health and Human Rights is designed to equip healthcare providers and administrators to integrate ethical, legal, and human rights principles in protection and promotion of reproductive health, and to inform lawyers and women's health advocates about aspects of medicine and healthcare systems that affect reproduction. Rebecca Cook, Bernard Dickens, and Mahmoud Fathalla, leading international authorities on reproductive medicine, human rights, medical law, and bioethics, integrate their disciplines to provide an accessible but comprehensive introduction to reproductive and sexual health. They analyse fifteen case-studies of recurrent problems, focusing particularly on resource-poor settings. Approaches to resolution are considered at clinical and health system levels. They also consider kinds of social change that would relieve the underlying conditions of reproductive health dilemmas. Supporting the explanatory chapters and case-studies are extensive resources of epidemiological data, human rights documents, and research materials and websites on reproductive and sexual health. In explaining ethics, law, and human rights to healthcare providers and administrators, and reproductive health to lawyers and women's health advocates, the authors explore and illustrate limitations and dysfunctions of prevailing health systems and their legal regulation, but also propose opportunities for reform. They draw on the values and principles of ethics and human rights recognized in national and international legal systems, to guide healthcare providers and administrators, lawyers, governments, and national and international agencies and legal tribunals. Reproductive Health and Human Rights will be an invaluable resource for all those working to improve services and legal protection for women around the world.

Book Description
In the past decade, the working alliance has emerged as possibly the most important conceptualization of the common elements in diverse therapy modalities. Created to define the relationship between a client in therapy or counseling and the client's therapist, it is a way of looking at and examining the vagaries and expectations and commitments previously implicit in the therapeutic relationship, explaining the cooperative aspects of the alliance between the two parties.

Book Description
Over a period of several decades, the author evolved a personal way of relating to and communicating with children, offering them a live professional setting in which to discover themselves. He believed that, in the right case, a full and free use of the first interview can yield rich rewards, and he claimed that the right cases for this are common. He hoped that, by presenting these case studies, he would introduce the reader to the exciting potential of his approach, which depends as much on selection (of therapist) as on training. Here is his presentation - seventeen case histories whose significance for child psychiatry is in the tradition of Freud's case histories of the treatment of adult neurotics. Therapeutic Consultations in Child Psychiatry provides a fruitful feedback to psychoanalysis itself.

Book Description
Introduction: Avant 2 ans, 50 à 60% des enfants sont suivis régulièrement par un pédiatre et 50% par un médecin généraliste. Après l'âge de 2 ans, 20% des enfants sont suivis régulièrement par un pédiatre et 80% par un médecin généraliste. La Protection Maternelle et Infantile gère 10 à 15% des enfants de 0 à 6 ans. Des études quantitatives françaises se sont intéressées aux critères de choix des parents pour le professionnel assurant le suivi de leur enfant mais n'ont pas exploré leurs attentes et leur ressenti. L'objectif était de décrire les attentes et le ressenti des parents concernant le suivi de la santé de leur enfant de 0 à 2 ans. Méthode : Étude qualitative par entretiens semi-dirigés de 29 parents rencontrés en réseau de périnatalité et en maternité. Résultats : L'étude a été menée jusqu'à saturation de données. Les principales attentes des parents concernant le professionnel assurant le suivi de leur enfant de 0 à 2 ans étaient une relation de qualité et centrée sur l'enfant, le respect de la déontologie, les compétences du professionnel et sa disponibilité. Les principales attentes concernant le contenu des consultations de suivi étaient la réassurance et l'étayage parental, les conseils sur l'alimentation, le suivi des vaccinations et la prévention, la surveillance de la croissance staturo-pondérale et du développement psychomoteur. Les parents attendaient également un diagnostic exact des pathologies aiguës et une prise en charge rapidement efficace. Le médecin généraliste répondait généralement à ces attentes pour les parents ayant fait le choix d'un suivi de l'enfant par le médecin généraliste. Toutefois, ils avaient parfois le sentiment que ses conseils étaient moins précis et l'examen clinique moins approfondi que ceux du pédiatre. Les parents consultant le pédiatre pour le suivi de leur enfant attribuaient au médecin généraliste uniquement un rôle de soin. L'étude a également montré une méconnaissance des parents concernant la place des professionnels dans la santé de l'enfant et le plan de prévention de la santé de l'enfant. Conclusion : Afin d'optimiser le suivi de la santé de l'enfant, il est donc nécessaire de mieux informer les parents sur la place et les compétences des professionnels, notamment sur le rôle du médecin généraliste dans le suivi de l'enfant, et sur le plan de la prévention. Il est indispensable d'améliorer la formation initiale et continue des médecins généralistes en termes de suivi de l'enfant.
