        Manual Trigger Point Therapy and Dry Needling for Chronic Pain

        Myofascial medicine as an approach to an unresolved challenge

        by Beat Dejung

        Medicine for the relief of pain has made little progress in the last 50 years. 16% of our population claim to suffer from chronic pain, for which no lasting help can be found, despite years of treatment by different doctors. Trigger point therapy experts have integrated myofascial techniques into their everyday therapy in recent decades and through this they have achieved good results even with complex and chronic problems. In this book, instructors from the Interest Group for Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy (IMTT) in Switzerland present 33 complex cases of patients with chronic pain, whose pain they were able to relieve perma­nently with manual trigger point therapy and dry needling. Using these case studies, double­page spreads with an edu­cational, uniform layout clearly present the diagnosis, pathophysiology and chronifcation of myofascial pain syn­dromes and, in conclusion, describe encouraging and sur­prising successes despite previous therapy resistance.

        Nach den großen Erzählungen

        by Beat Wyss

        Die obligaten Kapital-Kurse in Studentenkreisen um 1968 bilden den Anfang einer Entwicklung in den Geisteswissenschaften, die den positiven Wissenskanon der einzelnen Fächer dem Zerfall überläßt Ob Germanist, Philosoph oder Kunsthistoriker – Hauptsache, man hat seinen Marx, und später all die anderen gelesen. Der vorliegende Essay verfolgt die Leitwährungen der modisch variierenden Metadiskurse. Beginnend historisch mit der Frankfurter Schule, endend mit Derrida als Meisterdenker wird ihre Funktion beschrieben: Die postmoderne Monokultur erfüllt die politisch korrekte Aufgabe, aus den Geisteswissenschaften das genuine Wissen um je eigene Gegenstände und Methoden auszutreiben.

        The House of Lords

        by Donald Shell

        The House of Lords has undergone significant change in recent years. The exclusion of the great majority of the hereditary peers in 1999 was intended as the first step in a two-stage reform process. But further reform has proved difficult to achieve and remains a matter of considerable controversy. Meanwhile, the present House has become more assertive, and is now widely recognised as making a substantial contribution to the overall work of parliament. This book, available in paperback for the first time, examines the role of the contemporary House. Who are the peers, and who among the total of over 700 are the active peers? How does the House work, and how effective is it in revising legislation and in scrutinising the work of government? Why has fundamental reform of the House been so long delayed, and what are the main arguments about reform today? These are among the questions discussed in this timely volume, which seeks to locate discussion about the House of Lords in the wider context of a clear understanding of the developing British constitution. This book will be of great value to students and academics in British politics, as well as to serious journalists and researchers. ;
