BOOKS
Emerging Drugs in Sport (Hardback)
Olivier Rabin (editor), Ornella Corazza (editor)
Athletes are always aiming to be faster, better, stronger. New techniques to enhance their sporting performance have increasingly been linked to use of novel psychoactive substances (NPS) and other hard-to-detect substances like performance-enhancing drugs. This book offers a timely analysis of the new challenges posed by this phenomenon in the anti-doping community.
The authors present the first comprehensive perspective on the rapidly shifting doping scenario and reflect on use, regulation, policy, and market structure of NPS used in sports. They highlight the challenges with the list of prohibited substances and methods in and out of competition. They also evaluate how methods to detect new drugs present an ongoing battle for doping control as they have to be adapted constantly.
Novel Psychoactive Substances: Policy, Economics and Drug Regulation
Andres Roman-Urrestarazu (editor), Ornella Corazza (editor)
In light of the recent emergence of Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS) on a global scale, this book provides a timely analysis of the social and economic impact of the NPS phenomenon, and of the global policy and regulatory responses to it. It presents the first comprehensive overview of the international regulation, policy and market structure of the NPS phenomenon, offering a guide to inform legislative discussions and demonstrating from a comparative perspective the different approaches used to address the rise of NPS to date. It covers topics such as organized crime, drug markets, clinical evidence on NPS, and different regulatory approaches also in less explored settings such as prisons and sport environments.
The Body in the Mind
Artemia Rocha Dores (editor), Ornella Corazza (editor)
In a society that strives for appearance, fitness is increasingly viewed as a means to reach a certain aesthetic ideal, rather than a way to improve health and physical performance. Every day millions of posts appear on social media promoting a visual representation of apparently fit, healthy and 'perfect' bodies. Combining personal accounts, clinical cases, and scientific research, this book explores how such new trends in society can lead to the development of exercise addiction and body image disorders. It explains how such a concern with physical appearance can act as a precursor or be symptomatic of other conditions, such as eating disorders, mood disorders, and the use of performance and image enhancing drugs. It highlights throughout the importance of raising awareness amongst health professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health nurses, social workers and primary care physicians, of this growing challenge to prevent harm and improve treatment.
Handbook of Novel Psychoactive Substances: What Clinicians Should Know about NPS
Andres Roman-Urrestarazu (editor), Ornella Corazza (editor)
Handbook of Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS) provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges that clinicians face when dealing with NPS and discusses how the profile of patients and their socio-demographic characteristics frame the serious public health concern that NPS pose. It presents various clinical cases, as well as detailed accounts of symptoms, psychopathology, toxicity, and overall clinical management that NPS require. This handbook brings together a unique collection of chapters written by leading experts in the field, who have felt the need to share their knowledge and experience to improve the clinical practice on NPS and the wellbeing of their patients.
Learning to Deal with problematic use of the Internet. E-book
COST Action CA16207 (editor)
The subject matter of the book – problematic usage of the Internet – is by definition in continuous turnover, so that whereas the current world health emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic has given further impulse to the use of the Internet in its useful expressions and opportunities, it has also amplified some of its more problematic manifestations, which we aim to address. Ultimately, we hope that this new and updated revision of the Companion Book will constitute a primary and useful source of information for all those who are interested in the topic, including those who are personally involved, or those searching to better understand this phenomenon and its unprecedented socio-cultural and public health implications.
