###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.

A new edition with the latest approaches to assessment and treatment of suicidal behaviorWith more than 800,000 deaths worldwide each year, suicide is one of the leading causes of death. The second edition of this volume incorporates the latest research, showing which empirically supported approaches to assessment, management, and treatment really help those at risk. Updates include comprehensively updated epidemiological data, the role opioid use problems, personality disorders, and trauma play in suicide, new models explaining the development of suicidal ideation, and the zero suicide model. This book aims to increase clinicians access to empirically supported interventions for suicidal behavior, with the hope that these methods will become the standard in clinical practice.The book is invaluable as a compact how-to reference for clinicians in their daily work and as an educational resource for students and for practice-oriented continuing education. Its reader-friendly structure makes liberal use of tables, boxed clinical examples, and clinical vignettes. The book, which also addresses common obstacles in treating individuals at risk for suicide, is an essential resource for anyone working with this high-risk population.

Estigma igual a falta de información¿Quién no ha oído hablar del estigma social? Es la marca con la que se señala a aquellos que la sociedad, por falta de información, ve diferentes.Antonio Ramos, debido a la enfermedad mental que sufrio, experimento en primera persona lo que es vivir marcado con un estigma. A traves de Stop al estigma de la salud mental quiere incidir en este tema. Quiere luchar por el derecho de igualdad que todos tenemos. Quiere que nadie por el mero hecho de padecer una enfermedad mental sea señalado como alguien raro o extraño. Esta palabra, estigma, procede del griego. Hace miles de años significo mancha o picadura. Despues, en latin, los estigmas eran las heridas que aparecian en los cuerpos de los devotos cristianos. Hoy, sus connotaciones son totalmente negativas. En la actualidad quien soporta la carga de un estigma (creado injustamente), es alguien que es tratado de forma discriminatoria, alguien a quien no se llega a comprender o se deja de lado por ignorancia.Se prejuzga a la persona, porque realmente se desconoce su enfermedad.Desde mi punto de vista, como periodista, creo que los medios de comunicacion y libros como el que ahora tenemos entre las manos, son una herramienta eficaz para luchar contra este tipo de estigmas. Se debe informar a la sociedad y despejar las dudas que existen sobre las diferentes enfermedades mentales, para eliminar esos estigmas que pesan sobre muchas personas.Antonio ha escrito el ultimo libro de esta trilogia, que comenzo con Diario de una enfermedad mental, y aporta su ultimo granito de arena para ayudar a quienes padecen este tipo de enfermedades. Su meta: facilitarles la integracion en la sociedad. Su reto: conseguir que la sociedad vea a las personas con enfermedad mental como lo que son personas, con una enfermedad, que con tratamiento y seguimiento, actuan y viven de forma totalmente normalizada en la mayoria de los casos.Conociendo a Antonio, conociendo su caso, y leyendo estos libros, sabemos que es posible.Deborah M. Labrador (Periodista de informacion social. Portal Discapnet)

Un libro que explica cómo reconocer este rasgo de personalidad y ofrece herramientas y técnicas a las personas con alta sensibilidad para autorregularse y vivir de forma más serena.¿Eres muy autoexigente o perfeccionista? ¿Te molestan los ruidos fuertes? ¿Tienes mucha empatia y no soportas el conflicto? ¿Das muchas vueltas a las cosas y no soportas las conversaciones superficiales?Lo mas probable es que tengas alta sensibilidad. ¿Y que significa esto? Las personas que son altamente sensibles son muy intensas desde el punto de vista sensorial y emocional, lo que hace que sus propias reacciones puedan llegar a llevarlos a estados de saturacion, bloqueo o estres si no saben como gestionar este rasgo de personalidad en su dia a dia. Tambien son personas a las que les encanta ayudar a los demas porque les hace sentir bien, por eso les cuesta decir que no y se sienten culpables cuando no llegan a todo. Se calcula que una de cada cuatro personas es altamente sensible."Soy sensible" sera de gran ayuda para las personas altamente sensibles, para los que conviven con ellos o para padres o madres con niños con alta sensibilidad.

É que os sonhos são mais uma prova de que o ser humano traz a imagem e a semelhança com o divino, e dele herda todo o tamanho e variedade. Quando nos tornamos terapeutas, psicólogos, médicos de almas

Mas, afinal, o que so os sonhos? Por que eles acontecem? As explicaçes variam muito, de acordo com nossos costumes e modo de vida. Para os religiosos, as imagens que nos visitam quase todas as noites so mensagens divinas ou demoniacas. Ja os estudiosos da paranormalidade encaram os sonhos como a manifestaço de poderes mentais que no dominamos quando estamos acordados - coisas como premoniço, telepatia, etc. Ha tambem os estudos cientificos. Os mais famosos foram apresentados pelos psicanalistas Sigmund Freud e Carl Jung. Freud conclui que os sonhos so uma especie de valvula de escape usada para realizarmos nossos desejos proibidos. Jung foi ainda mais longe ao afirmar que os sonhos so tambem uma forma de expresso do inconsciente coletivo, que,segundo ele, e um oceano de formas, simbolos, Mas no e so. Quando mergulhamos no sono, começamos a viver um outro processo. E como se nossa mente nos levasse a um mundo misterioso, as vezes bom, as vezes desagradavel, onde tudo pode acontecer: o mundo dos sonhos.

Learn which dark side of personality assessment to use and when Introduces different assessment tools Highlights the nuances between tests Presents the relevant psychometric properties Explores findings about human nature More about the bookWe encounter people who possess undesirable dark sides of personality at low levels in our day to day lives, whether it is the boss who acts like a jerk, a cheating partner, or a friend who rubs everyone up the wrong way. This volume explores the latest research on the assessment of the dark personality traits, including the dark triad of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy, and more. The internationally renowned group of contributors provide a comprehensive, evidence-based overview of the personality traits currently being explored.Each chapter reviews two main topics. First, a particular measure used to study such traits is discussed. This section is geared to help the reader to understand how researchers in this area capture data on these traits and to best decide which instrument they want to use and when. Second, each chapter then details what the psychometric data on the test reveals about human nature, including topics such as sex differences, workplace behaviors, sexuality, and value systems. In this way, the contributors highlight how the convergence of research from various measures can provide a broad mosaic of information about people colloquially called psychopaths, narcissists, spiteful, Machiavellian, and sadists.This book is essential reading for anyone interested in test development and practitioners interested in the dark side personality traits.

"La actitud general, en relación al comportamiento sexual ha ido variando en las últimas décadas. Han ido superándose los enfoques más represivos, abriéndose mayores posibilidades de libertad y aceptacion de la diversidad, especialmente con quienes han estado mas oprimidos: las mujeres, los jovenes, las personas con orientacion homosexual. Sin embargo, esta apertura y liberalizacion de las costumbres esta aun cargada de contradicciones. Existe mayor permisividad, es cierto, pero no se entrega la formacion necesaria para enfrentar estas transformaciones. Tenemos que enseñar a nuestros niños y jovenes que la mayor libertad, la tolerancia y el respeto a las diferencias son un adelanto, pero junto a ello debemos enseñarles un deber imprescindible: la responsabilidad". Con estas palabras se plantea, en la introduccion de este libro, la necesidad de que los adultos no dejemos desamparados a los jovenes con nuestra ambiguedad y falta de orientacion para enfrentar sus experiencias sexuales. El libro esta dirigido a jovenes, profesores, padres, profesionales de la salud, entidades educativas, etc., y viene a llenar un vacio dada la falta de textos en que se haga referencia abierta, objetiva y desprejuiciada a temas tales como erotismo y sentimientos, pornografia, responsabilidad sexual, aborto, diversidad de la identidad sexual, entre otros.

Sexual Diversity: Being Human through Understanding and Acceptance is an in-depth exploration of the vast diversity of sexual and erotic orientations, including heterosexual, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer identities, as well as erotic diversity from vanilla to kink and everything in between. The book looks at the heteronormative norms prescribed by society and how these may be problematic for all populations, including heterosexual people. As part of diversity, the book offers a frame of thinking based on intersectionality. The work is a reference point to sexual and erotic diversities, written in plain English and in a conversational style. It attempts to offer a definition of the different identity terms that can be confusing, while acknowledging that language is fluid and changeable. This helps us to be more aware of the language we use and how we can stay as adaptable and fluid as eroticism can be. The content embraces inclusivity and helps us to learn to accept differences and to be more knowledgeable in the wide range of ways to live. It enables us to challenge our pre-conceived ideas and assumptions regarding sexuality and eroticism, and to continue learning and staying curious about diverse communities, cultures, and subcultures in the sexuality and erotic arenas. The concepts discussed are brought to life with stories from the consulting room and the world outside. This is a gem of a book that not only teaches us so much but also offers us opportunities for self-reflection. It is an absolute must-read for practising psychotherapists, counsellors, and psychoanalysts, as well as other professionals in the social care environment and every human interested in learning more about the wide variety of sexuality and eroticism in the world.
