Sommario/riassunto

Psychiatric disorders in adolescents are an important social problem which is relevant to almost all healthcare professionals. According to the results of The National Comorbidity Survey-Adolescent Supplement (NCS-A), the lifetime prevalence of anxiety, behavior, mood, and substance use disorders among adolescents was 31.9%, 19.1%, 14.3%, and 11.4%, respectively. Approximately 40% of participants in this survey with one class of disorder also met criteria for another class of lifetime disorder. Comorbidity is increasingly recognized as a key feature of mental disorders among adolescents. Female adolescents are more likely than males to have mood and anxiety disorders, but less likely to have behavioral and substance use disorders. Regretfully, medical professionals are not sufficiently trained about adolescent psychiatric disorders. For example, primary care providers correctly identify less than a fourth of youth with a depressive or anxiety disorder. Also, many clinicians underestimate the importance of the problem of adolescent psychiatric illnesses and suicidal behavior. Lack of skilled medical providers impedes the delivery of needed services to adolescents with mental health issues. This coupled with a lag in the ability of primary health care services to incorporate psychiatric interventions, and a failure of public health initiatives to pay attention to adolescent mental health problems has led to continuing gaps in care over decades despite the public pronouncements of needs. In this book you will find relevant information for health professionals, since we believe that the mental health of adolescents is essential for sustaining healthy and productive societies.

Sommario/riassunto

L’urbanistica è un sapere rivolto alla trasformazione progettuale di spazio e società. Il primo passo per apprendere in modo corretto i suoi fondamenti è riconoscere il nesso ineludibile che lega suolo, popolazione, potere e cultura e che assume forme determinate in ogni città del mondo. In risposta ai problemi dovuti all’uso capitalistico del territorio, gli urbanisti hanno proposto nel corso del tempo un repertorio di metodi, strumenti e modelli che sono ancora alla base del compromesso tra pubblico e privato nelle nostre città. In una condizione che vede la popolazione mondiale concentrarsi sempre più nelle aree urbane, la ricerca di un patto di convivenza è la ragione fondamentale per interessarsi di urbanistica. Scritto in uno stile chiaro e sintetico, questo libro si rivolge, oltre che agli studenti, a chiunque intenda accostarsi a questa forma di sapere. La tecnica dell’urbanistica è spiegata in azione, cioè evidenziando i conflitti da cui scaturisce, le crisi a cui prova a porre rimedio e gli ideali che insegue. Attraverso l’analisi di casi esemplari in quattro continenti, “Il primo libro di urbanistica” propone sette strategie di trasformazione della città moderna e contemporanea. Concludono il volume due capitoli dedicati agli effetti della transizione digitale nello spazio urbano e ai dilemmi ambientali, economici e sociali che l’urbanistica affronta in questo scorcio di secolo.
