Completely new translation of Rorschachs Psychodiagnostics Newly translated and annotated by experts from the field New introductory chapters Illustrated with photos and drawings from the archives More about the bookThis new English translation and 100th anniversary annotated edition of Psychodiagnostics, the only book published by Hermann Rorschach, showcases Rorschachs empiricism and the wide-ranging flexibility of his thinking and thus helps us to understand why his iconic inkblot test has survived for a century and is still being used around the world, with the support of a strong evidence base. The expert translation team have collaborated closely to create an accessible rendition of Hermann Rorschachs presentation of the inkblot test that resulted from his empirical research experiments. Also included in this edition is the case study lecture on new developments in the test that Rorschach gave to the Swiss Psychoanalytic Society in 1922, just six weeks before his premature death. His book and the lecture are each accompanied by annotations for the first time, looking backward to the sources of Rorschachs terminology and also forward to how the test is used today. Drawings and photographs from the Rorschach Archive as well as introductory chapters on the history of the translation and the creation of Psychodiagnostics bring the story of this important figure and his work to life. This volume is essential reading for both historians and contemporary users of the inkblot test and anyone interested in exploring personality testing.

In times of conflicts and crises, an argument insisting on the humane is commonly heard. In wars, voices demanding a humane treatment of prisoners as decreed by the Geneva Convention will be raised. Opposition to social injustice may be framed in a collected call for a humane society. Even educational systems may insist on having a humane perspective among its leading causes. Words referring to man humane, but also humanistic, humanitarian, even humanity thus take on status of ideals for mankind. Man, in common and legal speech, thus becomes the conceptual marker of his own perfection. The subject of this book is the early history of this linguistic feature and in particular its argumentative use, from its starting point till early modern times.

Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis (OPD) is a form of multiaxial diagnostic and classification system based on psychodynamic principles, analogous to those based on other principles such as DSM-IV and ICD-10. The OPD is based on five axes: I = experience of illness and prerequisites for treatment, II = interpersonal relations, III = conflict, IV = structure, and V = mental and psychosomatic disorders (in line with Chapter V (F) of the ICD-10). After an initial interview lasting 12 hours, the clinician (or researcher) can evaluate the patients psychodynamics according to these axes and enter them in the checklists and evaluation forms provided. The new version, OPD-2, has been developed from a purely diagnostic system to include a set of tools and procedures for treatment planning and for measuring change, as well as for determining the appropriate main focuses of treatment and developing appropriate treatment strategies.

###BOLD#TEXT[Integrating the role of culture is critical in preventing suicide]###Written by leading suicide researchersExplores suicide in different cultural contextsHighlights how to conduct culturally sensitive studiesBuilding on the seminal work of Colucci and Lester (2013), this volume examines the unique perspective of the role culture plays in suicide research and prevention. With the current domination of individual and largely biomedical approaches in the field, these leading social scientists and suicide researchers carefully show how important integrating sociocultural factors is in helping to prevent people from dying by suicide and support those who live with suicidality.The first section addresses the fundamental issues of why "culture" is of vital importance in understanding and preventing suicidal behavior, what the "cultural meaning" of suicide is, and where current research and theory are taking us. It concludes with a thought-provoking perspective on suicide as a staged performance. The second section features a mixed-methods cross-cultural study on the meanings of suicide in Australian, Indian, and Italian cultures. Additional chapters explore a culturally specific form of suicide (i.e., sati in India), suicide among Roma and Irish Travellers, and a community-based suicide prevention strategy for different populations, including migrants and refugees and people from low-and-middle-income Asian countries. The authors conclude with insightful recommendations for conducting culturally sensitive and meaningful studies.This volume is essential reading for anyone involved in suicide research and prevention and more broadly to those interested in the sociocultural and political contexts of mental health.

Call Me Lola is a moving photo essay by the acclaimed Israeli-American lens-based artist and documentarian Loli Kantor. For over twenty years, she combed through the family archives of her Polish-born father, a doctor and political activist. At the center of her work is her mother, Lola, who died in childbirth: a woman who manifests herself principally through images and stories rather than direct memories. The family documents and photographs that retrace the artists personal history are shown alongside new camera-based works, resulting in a deeply subjective reflection on the most significant upheavals of the twentieth century: war and displacement, love and loss, trauma and grief.LOLI KANTOR (*1952) is an Israeli-American photographer whose work centers on personal and cultural memory. She lives and works in Fort Worth, Texas.

Finally, it provides a research-based analysis of teacher-related variables that affect learner classroom well-being and ill-being.

"Some theories of [psychology] are based largely on the behavior of sick and anxious people or upon the antics of captive and desperate rats. Fewer theories have been derived from the study of healthy human beings, those who strive not so much to preserve life as to make it worth living. Thus we find . . . many studies of criminals, few of law-abiders; many of fear, few of courage; more on hostility than on affiliation; much on the blindness in man, little on his vision; much on his past, little on his outreaching into the future." Gordon Allport, 1955Originally the field of psychology had a threefold mission: to cure mental illness, yes, but also to find ways to make life fulfilling for all and to maximize talent. Over the last century, a focus on mental illness has often been prioritized over studies of health, to the point that many people assume "psychologist" is just another way of saying "psychotherapist." This book is about one attempt to restore the disciplines larger mission.Positive psychology attends to what philosophers call "the good life." It is about fostering strength and living wellabout how to do a good job at being human. Some of that will involve cheerful emotions, and some of it will not. There are vital roles to be played by archetypal challenges such as those involving self-control, guilt, and grit, and even the terror of death enters into positive psychologys vision of human flourishing.Charles Hackney connects this still-new movement to foundational concepts in philosophy and Christian theology. He then explores topics such as subjective states, cognitive processes, and the roles of personality, relationships, and environment, also considering relevant practices in spheres from the workplace to the church and even the martial arts dojo. Hackney takes seriously the range of critiques positive psychology has faced as he frames a constructive future for Christian contributions to the field.Christian Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS) Books explore how Christianity relates to mental health and behavioral sciences including psychology, counseling, social work, and marriage and family therapy in order to equip Christian clinicians to support the well-being of their clients.

Este libro pretende sensibilizar e invitar al lector a reflexionar sobre el crítico y complejo problema social que significa la violencia doméstica e intrafamiliar hacia la mujer por razón de género, asi como se enfatiza la obligacion del Estado de actuar con la debida diligencia para prevenir, investigar, sancionar, juzgar y ofrecer reparacion integral frente a los actos de violencia, abuso y discriminacion practicados contra las mujeres en el seno de la familia, no solamente basado en genero, sino tambien a multiples factores que se sustentan en las persistentes desigualdades historicas y estructurales existentes en nuestra sociedad y en las comunidades. Asimismo, se señala la importancia de implementar politicas publicas de proteccion adecuadas, dignas y efectivas, que respondan al reclamo de la poblacion femenina, postulando asi la urgencia de un cambio de conciencia social para hacer frente a este fenomeno persistente, generalizado e inaceptable, que aqueja diariamente a millares de hogares en todo el mundo, independientemente de la cultura, religion, etnias o razas, clases sociales, niveles de educacion o edad. En este contexto, vale recalcar el aumento exponencial de la violencia hacia las mujeres perpetrada en el ambito de las relaciones domesticas, familiares o intimas de afecto, debido a la pandemia de COVID-19. A este respecto, el Secretario General de las Naciones Unidas ha instado a todos los paises que adopten medidas contra el estremecedor repunte de la violencia domestica a raiz del confinamiento y aislamiento global, con el fin de combatir la pandemia por COVID-19 y sus efectos en la sociedad. De ahi se infiere con mayor claridad que, la violencia domestica e intrafamiliar hacia la mujer por razon de genero no se trata de un problema privado, pero, si de una cuestion de orden publico y una grave violacion de los derechos humanos y libertades fundamentales, que afecta de manera desproporcionada a este colectivo especialmente vulnerable. Ademas, conviene advertir que, incluso antes de instaurada la actual situacion de pandemia, las cifras mundiales con relacion a esta modalidad delictiva eran realmente muy alarmantes. Es mas, la violencia practicada contra las mujeres sigue siendo una gran amenaza para la salud publica mundial frente a la situacion actual de pandemia, lo que ha incrementado los casos de violencia domestica e intrafamiliar contra la mujer perpetrada por compañeros intimos. De eso se desprende la necesidad de poner en marcha medidas urgentes de lucha contra la violencia infligida hacia la mujer en tiempos de pandemia, incluyendo los planes de preparacion y respuesta, para asi proporcionar un acceso asequible e igualitario a los servicios esenciales en el sector de atencion sanitaria, servicios sociales, y los sectores policial y judicial, los que pueden mitigar de manera significativa las consecuencias que tiene este tipo delictivo sobre la integridad fisica, psiquica y moral de las victimas. Roberta Lidice es Doctora en Derecho por la Universidad de Salamanca (USAL) España, habiendo obtenido la calificacion de Sobresaliente Cum Laude; Profesora-Investigadora y Consultora Juridica, actuante en el ambito preventivo y consultivo en las areas de Derecho Penal, Derecho Administrativo, Gestion Publica y Empresarial, con enfasis en el ejercicio de la actividad de Defensoria del Pueblo y Participacion Social, y en la Gestion de Procesos del Canal de Denuncias y Etica Corporativa.

This new, fully revised, and expanded second edition of the handbook for the groundbreaking, evidence-based Mindfulness-Based Strengths Practice (MBSP) program is the guide you need in your professional practice. Developed by author Dr. Ryan M. Niemiec, scientist, educator, practitioner, and a global leader in mindfulness and character strengths, the MBSP approach is about the discovery, deepening awareness, exploration, and application of character strengths. It is about understanding and improving how we pay attention in life the quality by which we eat, walk, work, listen, and experience joy and peace. And it is about seeing our potential which sits underneath our strengths of perseverance, bravery, curiosity, hope, kindness, fairness, and leadership and which, unleashed, could benefit the world. MBSP is not only about our clients own happiness, it is about the happiness of others too. And it is an evolving, evidence-based program that can help people to relieve their suffering by using mindfulness and character strengths to cope with, overcome, or transcend problems, stressors, and conflicts.Counselors, coaches, psychologists, researchers, educators, and managers will discover the "how-to" delivery of mindfulness and character strengths. Following primers on the two strands of MBSP and deeper discussions about their integration, practitioners are then led step-by-step through the 8 sessions of the popular MBSP program. The session structure, scripts, tips, lecture material, processes, examples, and audio files are all there ready for use. This time-tested manual can bring beginners up-to-date on these topics while also serving to stimulate, inform, and provide valuable tools to the intermediate and most advanced students of mindfulness and character strengths.A companion workbook is also available for clients.

New edition of this effective toolbox for treating trauma survivors is even more comprehensiveThis popular, practical resource for clinicians caring for trauma survivors has been fully updated and expanded. It remains a key toolkit of cognitive behavioral somatic therapy (CBST) techniques for clinicians who want to enhance their skills in treating trauma. Baranowsky and Gentry help practitioners find the right tools to guide trauma survivors toward growth and healing. Reinforcing this powerful intervention is the addition of a deeper emphasis on the preparatory phase for therapists, including the therapists own ability to self-regulate their autonomic system during client encounters.Throughout the acclaimed book, an effective tri-phasic model for trauma treatment is constructed (safety and stabilization; working through trauma; reconnection with a meaningful life) as guiding principle, enabling a phased delivery that is fitted to the survivors relational and processing style. The authors present, clearly and in detail, an array of techniques, protocols, and interventions for treating trauma survivors (cognitive, behavioral, somatic, and emotional/relational). These include popular and effective CBST techniques, approaches inspired by research on neuroplasticity, and interventions informed by polyvagal theory. Many techniques include links to video or audio material demonstrating how to carry-out the intervention. Further sections are devoted to forward-facing trauma therapy, a safe, effective, and accelerated method of treating trauma, and to clinician self-care.Over 40 video and audio demonstrations of many of the techniques are available for download. There are also 36 handouts for clients that can be downloaded and printed for clinical use.
