After eighteen frustrating months heading a specialist adolescent unit, Philip Stokoe applied for a training in consultation at the Tavistock Clinic based on the Tavi aka group relations model. This experience changed his life and, ultimately, led to this book, The Curiosity Drive: Our Need for Inquisitive Thinking. Embedding the training into his working life, Stokoe came to recognise the crucial importance of curiosity to the development of the mind. Alongside love and hate, it is a primary drive inside each of us. Without the desire to know, human evolution would take a very different path. Philip Stokoe outlines the work of Freud, Klein, and Bion to provide a firm foundation to his exploration of individual development and how it relates to groups and organisations. He lays bare why so many organisations are dysfunctional, takes an in- depth look at the problems unique to psychoanalytic institutions, and gives clear insight into how groups function as a separate entity to the individuals involved. He also investigates curiositys shadow side, detailing the alternative processes needed when it becomes a problem. This is a truly excellent book for trainees, professionals, and anyone who has ever been frustrated by work!

This book brings together the closely observed development of Simone (from birth to three) and the perceptive comments of Martha (or Mattie) Harris, who was such an influential figure in the development of the Observational Studies Course at the Tavistock. Romana Negris pioneering work on neonatal intensive care units is informed both by infant observation and by psychoanalysis. She presents in this volume the transcribed tapes of her detailed observation of a normally developing infant, whom Martha Harris supervised for three years. Other chapters present observations of children in hospital that formed part of their diagnostic assessment, and the book includes commentaries by Donald Meltzer and Martha Harris together. This book will be of outstanding interest to all readers whether parents, teachers, or mental health professionals who wish to deepen their understanding of the roots of mental life.

Le scienze del comportamento e le neuroscienze hanno avuto un enorme crescita negli ultimi decenni tanto da portare ad una vera e propria rivoluzione, non solo in campo scientifico ma anche nelle abitudini delle persone e negli stili di vita. Ne sono prova, da un lato, lenorme proliferare di riviste scientifiche e la percentuale di articoli pubblicati sul totale delle varie discipline, ma anche laumento esponenziale delle rubriche psicologiche e psichiatriche su qualsiasi rotocalco, rivista divulgativa, programma televisivo ecc. In altri termini, e sicuramente possibile affermare che la psichiatria, la psicologia, la psicoterapia, da discipline che ingeneravano sospetto e timore, stanno divenendo fonte di curiosita, di attenzione con un sempre maggiore appeal sulla popolazione. A questo fenomeno ha fatto riscontro anche un aumento numerico degli operatori del settore che, gia di per se variegato, ha avuto grossi problemi di comunicazione, essendo molti gli approcci e le teorie prese come punto di riferimento dai vari clinici. Limportante evento degli ultimi 20 anni, e rappresentato dalla nascita e sviluppo di guide cliniche per la diagnosi categoriale quali lattuale DSM V 1 e lICD 102, ottimi ed insostituibili riferimenti per il clinico e che hanno consentito, per quanto riguarda le malattie mentali ed i disturbi del comportamento umano, una notevole omogenizzatine dei linguaggi e degli stili di approccio al problema. Come tutte le iniziative umane, se questo ha portato ad un enorme beneficio in termini di chiarezza e facilitazione della comunicazione tra operatori, in taluni casi si e assistito alla sottovalutazione di alcune delle componenti essenziali nellapproccio clinico al problema, con una inevitabile preferenza degli aspetti piu generali e statistici, appunto, rispetto ad altre componenti piu soggettive e peculiari del singolo che piu sono sondabili ed evidenziabili con un approccio piu di tipo semeiotico dinamico.

Con lacronimo BES "Bisogni Educativi Speciali" si fa riferimento a tutti quei deficit neurologici o quelle difficolta manifestate dal bambino nellapprendimento scolastico, non supportati da una specifica diagnosi ma che comportano comunque delle difficolta nel rendimento scolastico. Anche i DSA "Disturbi Specifici dellApprendimento", rappresenterebbero infatti un bisogno educativo speciale, riconosciuto. Si tratta di una categoria diagnostica, relativa ai disturbi del neurosviluppo che riguardano i disturbi delle abilita scolastiche, ossia: Dislessia, cioe disturbo nella lettura (intesa come abilita di decodifica del testo); Disortografia, cioe disturbo nella scrittura (intesa come abilita di codifica fonografica e competenza ortografica); Disgrafia, cioe disturbo nella grafia (intesa come abilita grafo-motoria); Discalculia, cioe disturbo nelle abilita di numero e di calcolo (intese come capacita di comprendere e operare con i numeri). Nellapproccio dei disturbi in esame si e passati gradatamente dal concetto di inserimento a quello di integrazione e poi a quello di inclusione. Si propongono: strumenti compensativi e dispensativi, sport e terapia cognitivo-comportamentale.

La sindrome del burnout deriva il proprio nome dallespressione inglese "to burn out", ovvero "bruciarsi, esaurirsi, surriscaldarsi". In particolare, lattenzione e incentrata sul ruolo che la crisi pandemica da Covid-19 sta assumendo nellaggravamento e nellincremento dei casi di burnout. Il burnout si caratterizza come uno stato di esaurimento sul piano fisico, mentale ed emotivo e colpisce prevalentemente le Helping Profession, cioe tutte le professioni che hanno lobiettivo di soccorrere persone che vivono uno stato di disagio o di malessere. Soggetti alla sindrome, in modo piu o meno grave, dunque possono essere medici, infermieri, psicologi, assistenti sociali, educatori, volontari, ecc. Si analizza il particolare e piu intenso burnout dovuto allimprovvisa emergenza Covid-19 analizzando dati di studi e ricerche (da fonti ufficiali es. ospedali, atenei, articoli scientifici) per delineare quali sostanziali differenze riveste questo tipo di stress Covid-correlato rispetto al normale burnout. Vengono esaminati e confrontati i principali modelli di studio del burnout e ne viene studiata lapplicazione al burnout da Covid-19 del personale sanitario. Si propongono strategie e tecniche innovative nellapproccio a tale nuova tipologia di burnout

Ortega y Gasset said that "man is man and his circumstances." Similarly, the author takes us through the most diverse landscapes of research on the central nervous system, specifically on those aspects that affect the most intimate of human beings as such, and the historical circumstances in which the neuroscientist knowledge milestones are have taken place. This book touches almost all disciplines of neuroscience and the author does joining each other with a memorable insight.

Psychoanalytic encounters are filled with the unknowability of two unconscious minds meeting. Here one may forge a link that enables the process of meaning-making, or else it can become the space for destruction, perversion, evacuation, regression, and stasis. The area that lies between the mind of the analyst and that of the analysand is thus the liminal area of psychoanalysis - of growth, change, turbulence, as well as that of impasse, bastion, and failure. This latter could be what Bion meant by minus links. It seems that the primitive part of the mind is always looking for ways to evade psychic pain and emotional truth is always in peril. Analytic links are always fraught with danger. Minus links share with each other the quality of evading truth and therefore inhibiting emotional growth and the capacity to give meaning to experiences. Blind spots may be enabled by analytic allegiance to our particular schools, our inability to forge a technique in the face of the protomental apparatus which can breed arrogance, the complacencies of language, gaps between our theoretical allegiance and our technique, and, finally, all too often, our unwillingness and inability to get in touch with our true experience. Would it help to chronicle our quotidian failures? In these liminal moments, the links between analyst and analysand slide away from the emotional truth, rather than towards it. Nilofer Kaul presents these moments and explores the complex reasons behind them in a stunning debut work that questions the heart of analytic practice.

For many years, debate has raged as to whether children are capable of embarking on a true mourning process. In When a Child Grieves, Corinne Masur provides an excellent overview of the myriad psychoanalytic theories on the subject and demonstrates conclusively that children can and do mourn. She describes how children and adolescents experience grief and how the mourning process can go awry. Dr Masur provides ample guidelines for the evaluation and treatment of children and adolescents struggling with their grief, alongside a multitude of clinical examples to illustrate her salient points. One detailed and poignant case history is returned to throughout the book, that of a three-year-old who lost his father to suicide. This sensitive and important work fills a void in the literature and will become a key text for trainees and qualified psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, clinicians, and other professionals working with bereaved children.

This book focuses on adolescence and adolescent states of mind. It is one of a series that record Donald Meltzers clinical seminars and supervisions, which were conducted in various countries on a regular basis over many years. Despite his interest in the theoretical advances of psychoanalysis made during what he termed The Kleinian Development, Meltzer believed that clinical supervision was the only way to teach psychoanalytic practice. In effect he treated supervision as an art form just as he regarded psychoanalysis as an art form. The library of his supervision work, almost all recorded outside the UK, thus forms a valuable teaching model for future practitioners, as well as demonstrating Meltzers wealth of insight into both character development and analytic technique.

The authors-professional psychologists who work with children and families-believe that adults can help children build hope and combat hopelessness, and use stories that children construct about themselves to document the hope-building process. Included are two useful appendixes and a new introduction, in which the authors respond to readers questions and reactions to the original edition, which was published by Westview Press in 1997.

El juego, para los niños, es un medio privilegiado de expresión, lo que lo convierte en una valiosa herramienta diagnóstica y, dado su potencial transformador, en instrumento terapéutico. Este libro ofrece una vision actualizada del uso del juego en el trabajo clinico. Se exponen las condiciones basicas para el desarrollo de las sesiones de juego, diagnosticas o psicoterapeuticas.Muestra, con abundantes ejemplos, los caminos que sigue el juego en niños sin dificultades y los puntos de inflexion que pueden generar problemas psicopatologicos. La psicologia evolutiva, interrelacionandola con modelos psicoanaliticos del desarrollo, apoya las observaciones. Los autores hacen una reflexion sobre el progreso del juego y los juguetes, mostrando la continuidad historica y sus vicisitudes, hasta los actuales juguetes tecnologicos.Se aporta una vision de las diferentes perspectivas psicoanaliticas sobre el juego, incorporando tambien una mirada desde la teoria sistemica-constructivista y desde la practica de la arteterapia. Esta obra pretende poner en valor el juego y estimular su uso en el trabajo con los niños, quienes jugando alientan esa capacidad en los profesionales y les permite a todos seguir aprendiendo mientras se ponen, una y otra vez, "en juego".
