Even though research is now accelerating, there is still much left to be discovered. This book brings together the current knowns, unknowns and conjectures as a comprehensive resource for researchers, clinicians and patients seeking a roadmap to potentially improving the lives of up to 17 million women in the US and 350 million worldwide.

The Power of Light and Water, 1e

Downing
Hammersmith Books
288 pages
ISBN: 9781781612729
February 2026

Do you suffer from fatigue? Inflammation? Chronic pain? Depression? Anxiety? Diabetes? Ageing? Allergies? Autoimmune disease? There is a treatment right in front of you - sunlight! Or rather, it's sunlight interacting with the commonest, simplest molecule in the world - water. While you may be aware that plants use sunlight to create energy, you are less likely to know that animals - including us humans - can also produce energy in our cells and to do all the things we need to do. But since our harnessing of electricity we have been retreating from sunlight and from all its many benefits. In Coherent Health, Dr Downing explains the science of sunlight and water, what you can do to stay healthy and well, and to age gloriously, by making best use of its properties, the different disorders and problems that can be helped by light and water, and dos and don'ts of photo-bio-modulation (light therapy). While light can treat just about anything, it is not the only treatment you should use. As this book shows, the key is to get everything working optimally together - that is Coherent Health.

Ashok Kumar, Madhavi Gupta, K Aparna Sharma
Jaypee Brothers
74 pages
ISBN: 9789375458975
February 2026

This workshop has been conceived to bridge the space between textbook knowledge and bedside wisdom. The Art of Labour emphasizes that normal labour is not synonymous with passive observation, nor is intervention a sign of failure. Instead, excellence in intrapartum care demands continuous assessment, early recognition of deviation from normal, and decisive action taken with clarity and confidence. The manual and deliberations within this workshop focus on real world labour room challenges—interpreting progress, identifying early warning signs of maternal or fetal compromise, preventing avoidable morbidity, and responding effectively when labour veers off its expected course. Equal importance is given to communication, team coordination, and documentation, recognizing that safe labour care is a collective responsibility.

Manual on Practical Points in Treatment of Menopause, 1e

Ashok Kumar, Madhavi Gupta, K Aparna Sharma
Jaypee Brothers
172 pages
ISBN: 9789375451815
February 2026

This manual has been written as a guide and ready reckoner for healthcare professionals to use in their day-to-day practice. The first part of this booklet addresses prescription writing, and the second part is all about osteoporosis. Osteoporosis remains one of the most under-recognized yet consequential noncommunicable diseases affecting women worldwide. Often termed the “silent disease,” it progresses insidiously until a fracture occurs—frequently marking the beginning of pain, disability, loss of independence, and increased mortality. Despite advances in diagnostics and therapeutics, osteoporosis continues to be diagnosed late and treated inadequately, particularly in women. This manual has been conceived to address a crucial gap in osteoporosis care: the need to shift focus from fracture-driven management to prevention, early identification, and holistic intervention. Osteoporosis is not a disease that begins at menopause or old age; rather, it is a life-course condition, influenced by nutrition, physical activity, hormonal transitions, metabolic health, environmental factors, and sociocultural determinants from adolescence onward.

February 2026

This workshop manual has been thoughtfully conceived as a practical and academic companion for clinicians committed to safeguarding maternal and fetal well-being during the vulnerable prebirth phase. It brings together the science of obstetrics with the art of anticipation—recognizing that adverse outcomes are rarely sudden, but rather the culmination of missed signals, delayed decisions, or system gaps. The manual focuses on real-world challenges: identifying early warning signs, decoding evolving risk, refining clinical judgment, and strengthening team-based responses. Emphasis has been laid on protocol-driven care, evidence-based practices, and contextually relevant solutions that can be applied across diverse healthcare settings—from high-resource tertiary centers to constrained peripheral units.

Clinical Manual of HIV Psychiatry, 1e

Luis F. Pereira
APA
434 pages
ISBN: 9798894550978
February 2026

When the AIDS pandemic emerged in 1981, the diagnosis of AIDS was considered terminal. Over the four decades since then, advances in medicine have transformed HIV/AIDS into chronic and manageable—if still severe—condition. Despite this success, the annual incidence of HIV remains high, with 1.3 million new HIV infections worldwide and 40,000 in the United States. The chapters in this illuminating and concise new manual suggest that this continued high incidence is driven at least in part a lack of a biopsychosocial approach to HIV prevention and care. The authors suggest that destigmatizing mental illness and integrating psychiatric aspects into multispecialty medical treatment, research, and public health policy are essential for the next level of meaningful progress in both prevention of HIV transmission and in the care of persons infected with and affected by HIV.

Physicians With Lived Experience: How Their Stories Offer Clinical Guidance, 1e

Myers
APA
260 pages
ISBN: 9798894550947
February 2026

In medicine, it can be tempting to draw a clear line between patient and health practitioner, between the individual requiring care and treatment and the one offering it. But what happens when the clinician is the one facing a mental health challenge? For decades, psychiatric illness has been stigmatized within the medical community, casting those who seek treatment as weak and incapable of practicing effectively. This compelling and illuminating new volume pushes back against that outdated perspective. Dr. Michael F. Myers, who in his career has treated more than 700 medical professionals, gathers dozens of candid and heartfelt accounts from physicians and medical students. These first-person narratives exemplify courage, resilience, and self-compassion, while offering practical clinical pearls.

Body as Shadow: Jung’s Embodied Individuation Process, 1e

Lorentz
Karnac Books Limited
220 pages
ISBN: 9781800134065
February 2026

In a world bursting with theories and techniques about the body and how to incorporate it into therapy and trauma work, very little is written about Jung’s knowledge of the embodied process. Body as Shadow: Jung’s Method of Embodied Healing articulates this Jungian perspective in depth, underpinning Jung’s approach to the body in his theory and practice with neuroscientific research and later Jungian writers who amplify Jung’s perspective with their own theory and clinical knowledge. Embodied active imagination was Jung’s preferred method of encountering the psyche and traveling along the path of individuation. To illustrate Jung’s theory of active imagination as a powerful tool for transformation, Erica Lorentz presents case material that facilitates the readers’ experience and understanding of the Mundus Imaginalis (the imaginal realm), where soul, body, emotion, energy, imagination, somatic unconscious, and subtle body guide both client and analyst into a dialogue with the personal and archetypal unconscious in the healing work. These vignettes also offer a lens through which readers can perceive the interactive field of the therapeutic relationship. What does this process look like? How do we learn to embrace and work with it? Weaving theory and clinical process, Lorentz expands conceptual understanding, making it embodied and real. Body as Shadow is essential reading for Jungian practitioners, scholars, students, and all therapists interested in deepening their clinical practice.

Food is entwined in all of our lives. As a topic, it belongs simultaneously to many diverse fields, including economics, ecology, agriculture, and sociology. Culinary psychology incorporates many of these outlooks to understand and interpret the meaning of food and to investigate experiential as well as sensory perceptions. Healthy thinking and lifestyle patterns are an integral part of nutrition. Exercise, sleep, friendships, attitude, and alcohol all have a significant impact on the choice, the timing, and our enjoyment of the food we consume. What we eat impacts our mental health and even our libidos – with many comestibles feted for their aphrodisiac power. This superb resource brings together accessible expertise from these wide-ranging perspectives to demonstrate the importance of culinary psychology in our lives. As our understanding of the impact of what and how we eat continues to grow, this book’s comprehensive overview of culinary psychology will prove invaluable to students, academics, and the general reader.

Testosterone Decoded, 1e

Draper
Hammersmith Books
240 pages
ISBN: 9781781612842
February 2026

A practical guide to the importance of testosterone for health, the consequences of deficiency and the options for restoring hormonal balance by a doctor who needed TRT to reclaim his life. Over the past few decades, average testosterone levels have been declining at an alarming rate, even when adjusted for age. Deficiency impacts not only fertility and muscle mass, as is generally recognised, but all aspects of physical, mental and emotional health. Furthermore, it can affect the epigenetics of a man's future children – low testosterone today may set the stage for even greater hormonal and metabolic dysfunction in the next generation. This book provides a structured overview and distillation of what the author had to learn through his own research, clinical practice, patient experience and personal journey because this was not part of his medical training or education. His book goes beyond symptom lists and blood test results (both controversial) to provide a roadmap for the individual to understand testosterone's central role in their development, health and identity.
