The only comprehensive professional handbook on EuroPsy, the European standard and benchmark for education and training in psychology. This book is mandatory reading for anyone involved with accreditation, education, quality assurance, and assessment of standards in psychology. EuroPsy has been accepted and adopted as the European standard for education and training in psychology by EFPA. This book, written by its initiator and leading members of the working groups that set EuroPsy up, is the only comprehensive text available about this European benchmark. It first reviews the development of EuroPsy in the historical context of psychology as science and profession and policies for higher education set by international bodies, and in particular the European Union. This handbook then goes on to address the curricula of university courses and programmes following from the Bologna Agreement, the flexibility allowed to reflect diversity in Europe, licencing and accreditation, and benchmarking, as well as other prerequisites for meeting the EuroPsy standards. These include the use of a competence model to assure professional standards, supervision, continued professional development, supervision, and ethics. Finally, the authors examine the current and future role of EuroPsy in psychology in Europe, including practical examples of how EuroPsy has been applied in practice.

It is important to point out that these essays are about character types; it is not to suggest that all borderlines, narcissists or manic depressives are the same. Everyone is an individual and are who they are for many different reasons. What they have in common is a typical relation between their subjectivity and the world they inhabit. In other words, Christopher Bollas has identified the axioms that these individuals share. Following a discussion of the features of each type, the axioms are delivered in the characters own voice. By placing ourselves within their own logic, we can begin to identify and empathise with them. At the root of all character disorders there is mental pain and each disorder is an intelligent attempt to solve an existential problem. If the clinician can grasp their specific intelligence and help the analysand to understand this, then a natural process of healing can begin. Three Characters is a masterclass based on decades of lectures presented to psychoanalysts, analytical psychologists, and psychotherapists, and is a must-read for all psychoanalytic enthusiasts.

In The ABCS of Coping with Anxiety: Using CBT to Manage Stress and Anxiety, James Cowart offers a concise collection of tried-and-tested strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and makes them accessible to people who are learning to cope with their anxiety on a day-to-day basis. Anxiety is a normal part of our human nature. For spurring you to make decisions or perform, it can actually be helpful. However, an unchecked pattern of intrusive negative thoughts can escalate the severity and persistence of the level of anxiety experienced over time. As this worsens, it is not uncommon to feel an increasing lack of control - ultimately leading to a chain of self-defeating behaviors that may negatively affect all aspects of your daily life. Yet, while it is not possible to directly control our emotions (or what others think or do), it is possible to learn and apply coping skills that can help you face feared situations - rather than escape or avoid them. James Cowarts aim in The ABCS of Coping with Anxiety is to share a toolbox of CBT techniques garnered over 40 years clinical practice that will enable you to manage your anxiety on a sustainable path toward taking back some of that control. These self-help strategies focus on developing key coping skills designed to reduce fear and anxiety, and are complemented by a user-friendly, step-by-step program of practical exercises that can be personalized to meet each individuals unique needs. Informed by his extensive experience and therapeutic knowledge, and with real-life case studies to guide you along your own journey, Jamess easy-to-remember ABCS approach is as transformative as it is simple: A is for accepting the thoughts and feelings you can and cant control; B is for breathing slowly and naturally to relieve and relax muscle tension; C is for countering any unrealistic or catastrophic thoughts with truth and logic; and S is for staying with it so you can face your fears and anxieties until they are reduced. Each step is explored in detail in the first four chapters, and further discussion is also dedicated to using the ABCS with different types of anxiety (including social anxiety, specific phobias, panic attacks and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)) and coping with related depression, anger and impulsivity. Punctuated with research-informed insight and instruction throughout, The ABCS of Coping with Anxiety offers hope, relief and reassurance in helping you master your anxiety and work toward greater independence. Suitable for those living with anxiety and for the health professionals - including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and counsellors - working with them.

Today, diversity of gender and sexuality is beginning to be recognized and celebrated, even while many religious denominations still resist these cultural changes. The Gift of Sublimation offers pastoral interpretations of these social shifts in thelight of psychological principles, and argues that there is, historically, not only one view of masculinity but multiple conceptions. This discussion covers topics as diverse as the moral disapproval of masturbation; the efforts of some churches to convince homosexual men to adopt a heterosexual orientation; the dynamics of male envy of female longevity; the homosexual tendencies of King James I of England and VI of Scotland; and biblical portraits of Gods body, gender, and sexuality. Nathan Carlin and Donald Capps make special use of the psychoanalytic concept of sublimation: the redirection of sexual desires that are considered unacceptable or unworthy towards interests and aspirations that are considered acceptable and worthy. While the use of psychoanalytic hermeneutics here is likely to raise various red flags for potential religious readers, especially for those who have been informed that Sigmund Freud was hostile towards religion, this book presents a rather different view, focussing on religious sublimation.

La violencia psicológica en la pareja es uno de los problemas mundiales de mayor dimensión en nuestra sociedad que causa un grave deterioro físico, psicológico y social. Un fenómeno con elevada peligrosidad que engloba conductas de desvalorizacion, hostilidad, indiferencia, intimidacion, imposicion de conductas, culpabilizacion y bondad aparente. Sin embargo, reconocer el problema es una labor altamente complicada dado el caracter enmascarado de sus indicadores, hasta el punto de gozar de aceptacion social y deseabilidad a traves de los mandatos de amor romantico que hemos aprendido y legitimado. De este modo, surge la necesidad autoimpuesta de acceder a un estilo de amor en la pareja tan idealizado como disfuncional, que validamos socialmente mediante la mecanica de un amor obsesivo. Por ello, el libro propone un nuevo sistema de creencias sociales que nos propicie el desarrollo personal, bienestar y crecimiento necesario para hablar de relaciones romanticas adaptativas. Relaciones emocionalmente inteligentes. A traves de los distintos capitulos conoceras lo que significa la violencia psicologica en la pareja y el modelo de amor romantico del que nos hemos impregnado. El recorrido es una invitacion a la reflexion y al cuestionamiento del ideal romantico que hemos aprendido y nos esforzamos en hacer realidad sin espiritu critico. Y, una vez que se alcanza, comenzara la labor preventiva para mejorar tu calidad de vida y la de tu pareja a traves del programa que hemos diseñado. Confiamos en que este libro inspire acciones de cambio y te ayude a comprender que se puede amar sin idealizar ni dañar.

¿Existe el suicidio o estamos ante distintas formas de darse muerte, etiquetadas como suicidios? O, más en extenso, ¿existe el suicidio como fenómeno inequívoco, o de lo que hablamos es de diferentes perspectivas psiquiatricas, forenses, sociologicas, que homogeneizan actos heterogeneos bajo el mismo nombre?La necesidad de apellidar el suicidio con un en implicito (suicidio en el alcoholismo, en los jovenes, en la depresion) y un por explicito (suicidio logico, suicidio romantico, suicidio-huida) parecen indicar lo heterogeneo del fenomeno que impone una falsa identidad en base al final comun mortal.Entonces, si los suicidios son conductas bastante heterogeneas, ¿no deberiamos acercarnos al fenomeno con pocas pretensiones de saber psicologico y enfrentarlo desde una primera perspectiva autobiografica? Es por esto que esta obra recoge una amplia muestra de historias que ponen en evidencia que no se pueden homogeneizar con la palabra suicidio y que deberia hablarse de Suicidio(s), todos apellidados por su historia biografica.Guillermo Rendueles analiza esta heterogeneidad a traves de las cartas que nos dejan, que son quizas, "la literatura con mayor probabilidad de mostrarnos la veracidad de los hechos", apoyandose en su entorno cercano que en muchas ocasionas considera que fue para ellos absolutamente enigmatico, otras veces, sin embargo, son decisiones aparentemente racionales, o envueltas de historias de violencia o realizado en compañia.Otra excelente aportacion de este psiquiatra, que ha dedicado su vida a la mejora de la asistencia de las personas con problemas de salud mental, es que nos conecta sus reflexiones con los pensamientos y biografias de Camus, Dostoyevski, Styron, Pavese, Heidegger, Levi, Amos Oz, Durkheim, Foucault y Wittgenstein, entre otros.Es muy interesante tambien el capitulo final sobre lo que opinan los jovenes acerca del suicidio que esta tomado de la investigacion de la tesis doctoral realizada por Mª Elena Pinto. Es indiscutible que escuchar la voz de los jovenes resulta siempre de ayuda en la prevencion del suicidio, y por tanto, es fundamental para todos los que estan en contacto con ellos.

¿Qué hace a los humanos diferentes de otros animales? Nuestra naturaleza se basa en la pasión por lo simbólico, que modula nuestras emociones y han estado irremediablemente unida a la aparición de trastornos mentales como la locura.Los humanos somos diferentes de los otros animales. Pero ¿que es lo que determina esta diferencia? No tiene que ver con que seamos mas inteligentes o mas racionales, sino con que nos emocionamos con cosas que dejan impasibles al resto de los seres vivos. La esencia de nuestra naturaleza se despliega en el lenguaje y la pasion por lo simbolico, que modulan nuestras emociones y han estado desde siempre irremediablemente unidos a la aparicion de trastornos mentales especificamente humanos, como la locura.En este libro, Julio Sanjuan explora desde el surgimiento de la especie los tres aspectos diferenciales que explican nuestro enorme exito evolutivo: creatividad individual, instinto de cooperacion y pasion por los simbolos. A partir del concepto de sincronia, plantea un modelo transversal que arroja luz sobre los origenes de nuestras emociones y sus trastornos, y propone un lenguaje comun entre los aspectos biologicos, psicologicos y sociales de sus causas y mecanismos. Si cada cerebro es unico, solo desde una concepcion integradora, antidogmatica y flexible se puede encontrar la mejor manera de enfrentar nuestros conflictos emocionales.
