Systems of Psychotherapy: Dialectical Tensions and IntegrationPsychotherapy today encompasses a broad spectrum of approaches that focus to a varying extent on psychophysiological, behavioral, environmental, or other aspects of human problems.

It is therefore important to understand the inherent advantages and disadvantages of each therapy system, and how each helps people to solve their problems.
The profusion of advertisements and propaganda aimed at the consumer-health market confirms the continuing need for library reference collections to provide current, authoritative, and unbiased health sources, particularly in an area as prone to misinformation as alternative medicine. The third edition of The Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine, updated with 50 new entries and revisions of 300 others, attempts to balance the therapies and remedies used in alternative medicine with input on the effectiveness of such treatments from scientists and the traditional medical community.
Brain-Computer Interfaces: Revolutionizing Human-Computer InteractionA brain-computer interface (BCI) establishes a direct output channel between the human brain and external devices. BCIs infer user intent via direct measures of brain activity and thus enable communication and control without movement. This book, authored by experts in the field, provides an accessible introduction to the neurophysiological and signal-processing background required for BCI, presents state-of-the-art non-invasive and invasive approaches, gives an overview of current hardware and software solutions, and reviews the most interesting as well as new, emerging BCI applications.
Investigative Electrocardiography in Epidemiological Studies and Clinical TrialsThere is a lack of treatises dealing with investigative electrocardiographic research. Investigative Electrocardiography in Epidemiological Studies and Clinical Trials provides background information on procedures, epidemiological aspects, problem areas, mortality and morbidity risk. These topics are of particular interest for investigators in ECG research and clinical trials. This monograph is specialized beyond the scope of ordinary clinical textbooks of electrocardiography that have traditionally flooded the market.
