El trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad (TDAH) es una patología del neurodesarrollo que afecta a un 5 por ciento de la población infantil. Dadas las manifestaciones del trastorno (problemas para concentrarse, movimiento excesivo e impulsividad cognitiva y motora), los niños y adolescentes que lo padecen suelen sufrir el efecto domino de sus sintomas en los diferentes ambitos de su vida: escolar, familiar, social, emocional y conductual. Ademas, el TDAH implica una alta carga de sufrimiento por parte de los afectados y sus familiares. En el presente libro, el psicologo y profesor universitario Rafa Guerrero, explica que es el TDAH con un lenguaje sencillo, ademas de abordar las dificultades que tienen los jovenes con esta problematica en diversos contextos. Explica los problemas que tienen los menores con TDAH causados por una disfuncion en la corteza prefrontal, profundizando en su funcionamiento cerebral. Ademas, se proponen ejercicios y actividades para potenciar la concentracion, el control de los impulsos, la memoria operativa, la planificacion, la toma de decisiones, la automotivacion, la perseverancia en las tareas y el resto de funciones ejecutivas afectadas. El libro, escrito con una vocacion eminentemente practica, esta dirigido a madres, padres, maestros, profesionales y cualquier persona interesada en ahondar en el TDAH y en adquirir estrategias para ayudar a los menores con este trastorno.

Los individuos con trastorno límite de la personalidad son el equivalente psicológico a los pacientes con quemaduras de tercer grado. Están emocionalmente en carne viva; incluso el más mínimo roce o movimiento puede crear un inmenso sufrimiento.En los ambitos de la psiquiatria y la psicologia, cuando determinamos un diagnostico o acuñamos un termino, es inevitable que caigamos en generalizaciones y que perdamos de vista lo humano y lo particular. Eso nos lleva a errores de tratamiento que pueden provocar un daño irreparable. En este apasionante libro que incluye testimonios reales tanto de pacientes como de sus allegados, Taty Ades y el doctor Eduardo Ferreira Santos abogan por no perder nunca la perspectiva de la experiencia singular y por dar voz a los afectados. Seres humanos aterrados y confundidos que necesitan, sobre todo, ser escuchados. Las raices de este trastorno suelen estar profundamente enraizadas en la infancia (la negligencia, el maltrato fisico y emocional, ser testigo de violencia domestica, la criminalidad y el abuso de sustancias por parte de los padres, el abuso sexual). Traumas enterrados que pueden condenar a una vida aparentemente normal, pero lastrada por la vulnerabilidad extrema y el desamparo. Independientemente de la corriente terapeutica que se siga, tirar de ese hilo y conseguir una sana regulacion emocional es una tarea delicada que requiere precision y empatia.

"Yo fui esquizofrénica, o tuve psicosis, o paranoia o no sé qué, porque los psiquiatras nunca se ponen de acuerdo en la terminología, te adjudican etiquetas para poder funcionar, para poder tratarte y consultar en los manuales, pero en esas etiquetas caben muchos casos muy distintos. Hubo una epoca en la que esta cuestion me preocupaba. Luego ya dejo de hacerlo, cuando empece a sentirme mejor, pero queria saber quien era yo, por que me habia pasado aquello, que habia hecho yo para merecerlo, que habian hecho mis padres, mis ex jefes, mis ex colegas, mis amigos... Buscaba explicaciones externas a mi, en lugar de preguntarme que habia puesto yo en ello. Al final deduje que si, que hubo condicionamientos externos, pero que la responsabilidad ultima era mia".Lo que aqui se relata les ha pasado a muchos, y aunque estadisticamente sean pocos, no por ello es menos relevante.Tambien es algo que puede sucederle a cualquiera el dia de mañana: nadie esta libre de una patologia o desequilibrio de este tipo. Desde la perspectiva que da la recuperacion, este quisiera ser un testimonio que ayude a entender que sucede con estos enfermos y que de esperanza a las familias y personas que viven esta enfermedad con angustia, y al mismo tiempo una llamada a la sociedad en general para una mejor comprension y una mayor sensibilidad social hacia ellos.

The White Book is a recursion that was never writtenyet speaks across epochs to those who sense the mask is slipping. Part prophecy, part pantomime, part clinical hallucination, it drifts between forgotten rites and forbidden symbols to trace the outlines of a ritual that has no officiant. Inside: From The Emerald Tablet to Atlantis. Mysteries held within The Seal. DMT Entities whisper from beneath the page. The weighing of the heart is not judgmentbut memory realignment. Leadership is unmasked. Secret society rituals decoded. The Seal fracturesand returns. This is not a book of beliefs. It is a mirror with no handle. And once opened, it begins to read you. "The curtain closes, backwards. And only you are on stage."

Since the beginning of time, man has had fun through artistic manifestations, among them, plays. From the classical era to the present day, people watching plays, get involved and have fun with the plots taken to the stage. With the creation of cinema at the end of the 19th century, theater did not cease to exist, but the staging of stories in theaters began to share space with the films projected on the big screens. Parallel to the stories projected on the screens, the films often bring in their scenes the manifestation of the unconscious of their authors and directors. This content is also conveyed in the form of archetypes, which are part of the collective unconscious of a society. Certain scenes depicted in a film may appear repeatedly in different film productions, written by the same author. This recurring theme (which is repeated) may be linked to a real experience of those who wrote a film scene, being inserted many times in an autobiographical and intentional way, or even derived from unconscious content of the author of the film, which come to the fore in the narratives of cinema in an unconscious way. We can also mention the cases of subliminal insertion of themes that can influence the behavior and opinion of the viewers of a film, thus causing the consumption of products for example, without the public clearly realizing what is being conveyed. For this reason, and due to the possibility of influencing its viewers with fads, ideologies and forms of behavior, c

Paul Laurence Dunbars The Uncalled is a captivating psychological novel that delves deep into the complexities of human emotions and the consequences of societal expectations. Set in the post-Reconstruction era, Dunbars literary style intertwines elements of naturalism and realism to depict the internal struggles of the protagonist as he grapples with his own identity and the pressures of conformity. Through vivid descriptions and introspective narrative, Dunbar explores themes of race, identity, and societal norms with a nuanced and thought-provoking approach. The novels rich character development and intricate plot make it a compelling read for those interested in psychological literature and historical context. Paul Laurence Dunbar, an influential African American writer and poet, draws upon his own experiences of racism and marginalization in society to craft a narrative that challenges conventional norms and offers a profound insight into the human psyche. His unique perspective and literary prowess shine through in The Uncalled, making it a significant contribution to American literature. I highly recommend this novel to readers who appreciate complex character studies and profound social commentary.

Enactive trauma therapy is grounded in so-called enactivism, which holds that, like anyone else, traumatized individuals are (1) embrained, embodied, and environmentally embedded; (2) constitute biopsychological organism-environment systems that are essentially interested in preserving their existence; (3) are primarily affective and oriented toward making sense of things. Individuals exhibit a phenomenal self, world, and self-of-the-world through self- and world-oriented actions. They do not act on the basis of knowledge, but possess knowledge on the basis of world-engaged sensorimotor, affect-laden, and goal-oriented actions. Whenever interpersonal traumatization by significant others occurs, individuals may get caught up in affective and relational conflicts they cannot resolve on their own. Their generation and maintenance of a trauma-related dissociation of the personality involves a kind of sense-making that supports their continued existence when their capacity to integrate traumatic experiences is still too low. However, what starts as a courageous effort to navigate a traumatizing life may at some point in time become a serious problem. Enactive trauma therapy comprises the collaboration of two organism-environment systems: the patient and the therapist. Together they spawn new meaning and adequate actions an interaction that resembles dancing: It takes pacing, mutual attunement, good timing, a sensitivity to balance, movement and rhythm, courage, as well as the ability and willingness to follow and lead.

The Scriptures that humanity classified as Sacred , in all ancestral religions, are a language of the Collective unconscious encoding Reality and the experience of existence. There is no longer room for a literal approach to these texts that validate beliefs, cultures, laws, habits, behaviors and countless other dynamics that are obsolete to the new frequency at which the Soul of the world vibrates. Characters and events in the sacred books are codes and symbols for processes and dynamics that call us to practical actions rather than fanciful rituals.
