I.C.U. Chest Radiology

Principles and Case Studies

By: Harold Moskowitz

A practical, highly useful guide to the principles of I.C.U. chest radiology, complete with case studies and radiographs on website For critically ill patients in a hospital's I.C.U., a portable chest radiograph is the most helpful, and most commonly used, x-ray examination. Cardiopulmonary complications and the malposition of lines, tubes, and catheters are often initially detected on a portable chest film. It is essential for hospital personnel to know how to approach and read these films, and yet little attention has been paid to teaching the accurate evaluation of this crucial diagnostic tool. The first book in more than a decade to specifically address this topic, I.C.U. Chest Radiology is an authoritative and concise guide to interpreting portable chest film; identifying and correcting any abnormal positions in the various devices inserted into the vascular and respiratory systems; and diagnosing abnormalities of the cardiopulmonary system. Radiology expert Dr. Harold Moskowitz outlines his approach and philosophy toward x-ray interpretation of the I.C.U. patient one that can be used daily and in any I.C.U. setting. Divided into ten straightforward chapters, the book begins with a discussion of the physics necessary to obtain a proper film and moves on to the more clinical problems encountered each day in the I.C.U. such as airspace disease, barotrauma, pneumonia, congestive failure, and malalignment of tubes and lines. Throughout, Moskowitz points out specific findings that can often make a difference in a patient's management. Supporting these detailed chapters is a website featuring real-life case studies and radiographic images that simulate common problems in the I.C.U. This is a unique way for readers to prepare to handle the all-too-common scenario: the 2:00 a.m. call from an I.C.U. nurse that a patient has "crashed" and needs attention. Using knowledge gleaned from the chapters, the reader is encouraged to study the radiograph in each case, identify the various problems, determine the clinical condition that caused deterioration in the patient, and plan a course of action. Readers can test themselves with the cases and then listen as Moskowitz discusses the pertinent findings on the film. I.C.U. Chest Radiology is essential reading for those who work in or are associated with I.C.U.s radiologists, intensivists, hospitalists, emergency room physicians, residents, medical students, physician assistants, respiratory therapists, and nurses. It will also be a valuable guide for personnel who work in step down units and emergency rooms.

Toward a Psychology of Being

By: Abraham H. Maslow

Maslow's theories of self-actualization and the hierarchy of human needs are the cornerstone of modern humanistic psychology, and no book so well epitomizes those ideas as this classic. Its influence continues to spread, decades after its author's death, beyond psychology and throughout the humanities, social theory, and business management theory. Its enduring popularity stems from the important questions it raises and the answers it provides concerning what is fundamental to human nature and psychological well-being, and what is needed to promote, maintain, and restore mental and emotional well-being.

Humanistic Psychology

Conversations with Abraham Maslow, Gardner Murphy, Carl Rogers

By: Willard B. Frick,Abraham Harold Maslow,Carl Ransom Rogers,Gardner Murphy

I have often been asked by interested colleagues and friends", says Frick, "to explain the nature and meaning of humanistic psychology. This is no easy task, for the answer is not a simple one and the question cannot be answered in a doctrinaire fashion by resorting to the glib statement of some formula or methodology. Humanistic psychology, a vigorous 'third force' in psychology, has emerged as a passionate expression of protest against the limited and limiting images of man expounded by the two other major schools of psychology, viz., psychoanalysis and behaviorism. While not denying their important contributions, humanistic psychology holds to the position that the images of man presented by these two theoretical systems are, like pages torn from a book, only parts that contribute to a greater whole and are, therefore, incomplete. Humanistic psychology, however, also presents us with a more positive philosophical position and, in the final analysis, represents a psychology with certain characteristic commitments of its own as to the nature of the human person and the nature and scope of that science which is necessary to explore and acquire a broader, more profound understanding of personhood. Humanistic psychology is extremely sensitive and resistant to the seductive temptation to model humankind after a theory rather than fashion a theory that more fully reveals man and is in closer harmony with man and his nature. With the human person at the center and with no need to deny or distort his many characteristics and possibilities for the purpose of preserving a theoretical structure, humanistic psychology has retained a greater measure of freedom to concentrate on significant humanproblems and concerns that can take man's full range of inner experience into serious account".
