Salman Akhtar presents three rich essays brimming with psychoanalytic theory on personality development and how such knowledge enhances treatment. Essay 1 starts at the earliest infancy and takes the reader all along the path past adolescence. It addresses key developmental landmarks, including: Establishing a satisfactory parental bond Moving towards autonomy and independence Acquiring a moral sense Consolidating identity. Essay 2 picks up after adolescence. It addresses the psychosocial challenges characteristic of young adulthood, midlife, and old age, such as: Assuming the role of a wage-earner and "house-holder" Enjoying sex, love, and marriage Downsizing and retiring from ones job Dealing with the deaths of friends and family and facing ones own mortality. Essay 3 builds upon the theory that has gone before and examines how a deepened understanding of psychic development can inform the clinicians approach. With an emphasis on development as a lifelong process, this essay provides clear guidelines for facilitating such growth, including: Creating psychic space for thinking Helping the patient find words for inner experiences Validating the patients reality Enhancing the sense of personal agency in the patient. The complex tapestry woven by these three essays is extended by a prologue and an epilogue. The prologue opens with the "pre-self" - events before birth that impact on who we become. The epilogue discusses the "post-self" - how we "live on" as memories held by those who knew us. In Leaps and Bounds deepens the understanding of the nuances of human development. It is key reading for practising and trainee psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists to enhance their clinical practice. It is highly recommended for all enquiring minds looking to expand their knowledge of what makes us who we are.

Collectively authored by psychoanalytic colleagues of multiple nationalities, ages, genders, religious origins, and meta-theoretical persuasions, Besides Family goes far beyond the usual orbit of parents and siblings. Casting a wide net, the contributors look at a number of key figures who may affect an individuals psychic development and functioning. Each character receives a full chapter which highlights both the beneficial and adverse possibilities within these relationships. The book opens with a chapter on nannies, tracing the centuries-old history in the West and focusing on four renowned psychoanalysts: Sigmund Freud, Sandor Ferenczi, John Bowlby, and Wilfred Bion. Next comes a discussion of neighbours, using material from religious texts, fiction, and poetry. This is followed by a chapter on childhood playmates and friends, which examines the nature of friendship and how it develops across the lifespan. School teachers come next, using literature on teacher-student relationships synthesised with psychoanalytic developmental theory. Clergy is the next subject of discussion, blending Judeo-Christian religious customs with psychoanalytic developmental theory. The developmental significance of adolescent peers is examined next using a blend of neurophysiology, endocrine studies, behavioral observations, social-cultural vectors, and psychoanalytic insights. A discussion of lovers and the myriad ways in which romantic relationships mirror early development is the penultimate chapter. The book ends on the role of mentors and the evolution of the mentor-mentee relationship, taking into account the impact of age, race, and gender. The authors integrate material from history, anthropology, sociology, religion, literature, and film studies alongside vignettes from clinical practice and day-to-day life to bring theory to life. This fascinating exploration is essential reading for practising clinicians and trainees to broaden their understanding of the impact of the wide network that surrounds us all.

Ebook que incluye: La educación del talento, Los secretos de la motivación y La inteligencia ejecutiva. Educar el talento, motivar y desarrollar la inteligencia ejecutiva son tres pilares fundamentales en el desarrollo del niño. Es fundamental que en su trayecto hacia la vida adulta el niño descubra sus talentos, pero tambien sus limitaciones. Y mas importante aun es que entienda que ese talento no es mas que una semilla, una base sobre la que construir y trabajar dia a dia. El talento es un habito y como tal, dificil de adquirir. Para ello necesitara despertar su motivacion, superar el aburrimiento, el cansancio, y la desesperacion. Sin motivacion no avanzamos. Es el combustible de nuestro trabajo. Y queda por supuesto la inteligencia, porque inteligencias hay muchas y en absoluto tienen por que ser innatas. La inteligencia ejecutiva es la que se encarga de dirigir todas nuestras capacidades humanas; de realizar proyectos, de tomar decisiones, de gestionar las emociones.Este libro recoge los contenidos de tres obras previas de Jose Antonio Marina, y no por casualidad los que mas interes han despertado entre los lectores de este proyecto dedicado a acompañar a padres y docentes en sus tareas educativas. Un libro ambicioso, que en absoluto apela a compartimentos estancos, sino a elementos que interaccionan continuamente en la busqueda de ese objetivo comun: ayudar a los niños a desarrollar su potencial. ¡Adelante!

El desarrollo motor del niño ha sido objeto de investigación desde hace mucho tiempo. Este estudio presentado aquí por Vojta y Schweizer ofrece puntos de vista completamente nuevos que hacen referencia a procesos basados en las leyes naturales. En esta obra, los "patrones motores ideales" descubiertos por Vojta sirven de base para el analisis de la ontogenesis motora y de las funciones musculares que la sustentan. Se incluyen numerosas fotografias que ilustran de manera grafica y detallada el desarrollo motor. Dado que los patrones motores ideales, que maduran durante el primer año de vida, son la base del comportamiento motor humano, el conocimiento de la motricidad ideal expuesta en este libro es la base fundamental para el diagnostico y la terapia de las alteraciones motoras en pacientes de cualquier edad. El descubrimiento de la motricidad ideal es por ello una referencia obligada para todos los fisioterapeutas, tanto en su practica terapeutica como durante su formacion. Constituye tambien una gran ayuda para los medicos a la hora de establecer un diagnostico en la poblacion infantil asi como en los adultos con alteraciones motoras. Igualmente resulta de gran interes para los padres en la observacion del primer año de vida de su bebe, ya que contiene fotos que documentan cada estadio de desarrollo.

An evidence-based guide to the assessment and treatment of childhood depression with a focus on a family-based approachUp-to-date overview of the evidence-baseStep-by-step guidance of a family-focused treatmentDownloadable handouts for clinical practiceThis volume in the Advances in Psychotherapy series provides the reader with an up-to-date, evidence-based introduction to the assessment and treatment of childhood depression, including major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation, and adjustment disorders. After exploring the latest knowledge on the diagnosis, course, theories, and contributing factors of childhood depression, the author presents a step-by-step description of family-focused treatment for childhood depression (FFT-CD), which integrates CBT and family therapy goals.Treatments for depression that work well for adolescents and adults cannot simply be extended to children as their cognitive capabilities are not as fully developed nor stable. FFT-CD focuses on positive and supportive parentchild interactions that support the development of a positive self, helping parents provide the child with additional positive feedback on their developmentally appropriate achievements, and enhancing child and family coping. Downloadable resources include numerous FFT-CD handouts for children and parents. This text should be particularly useful to child or school psychologists, marriage and family therapists, child psychiatrists and anyone working with depressed youth and their families.

Many children today are growing up in the midst of adversity, whether brought on by family difficulties or larger societal crises. All children need to be able to deal with stress, cope with challenges, and persevere through disappointments. While we cannot protect children from all hardships, we can promote healthy development that fosters resilience.In this interdisciplinary work, Holly Catterton Allen builds a bridge between resilience studies and childrens spiritual formation. Because children are spiritual beings, those who work with them can cultivate spiritual practices that are essential to their thriving in challenging times.This book equips educators, counselors, childrens ministers, and parents with ways of developing childrens spirituality to foster the resilience needed to face the ordinary hardships of childhood and to persevere when facing trauma. It offers particular insight into the spiritual experiences of children who have been hurt by life through chronic illness, disability, abuse, or disasters, with resources for healing and hope.

This book is about relationship, about building rapport and understanding between parents and teenagers at a stage when its easy for relationships to crumble or sour. Its also about behaviour: tricky adolescent behaviour but also our own (perhaps sometimes tricky), adult behaviour. Its packed with skills and strategies proven to help parents communicate effectively with their children and develop their confidence. Its a book for all parents (or carers) but its a particularly valuable resource for those whose adolescents are exhibiting behaviour thats challenging, or whose mental state is causing concern. Many young people are suffering since Covid/lockdown, and support services often lack funding. When children suffer, parents suffer - they too need support. Its based on the principles of the evidence-based Take 3 parenting course, written by the author when she was employed as a parenting worker for the Youth Offending Service.

El envejecimiento de la fuerza de trabajo debido a los cambios sociodemográficos globales plantea un conjunto de retos y de oportunidades cuya gestión es compleja y cuyos resultados pueden traer consigo consecuencias muy diversas para las personas y para las organizaciones. En los ultimos años se ha promovido una serie variada de politicas y practicas de recursos humanos orientada a la gestion de la diversidad de edades, y en particular, a facilitar y promover el envejecimiento activo en el trabajo, que conlleve a la permanencia de los trabajadores mayores en los mercados de trabajo y a la prolongacion de la actividad laboral mas alla incluso de las edades legales o habituales de retiro.Con esta monografia internacional se pretende presentar un amplio y variado panorama sobre los resultados de investigacion y las propuestas de intervencion en el ambito de la gestion de la edad, el trabajo y el envejecimiento, de investigadoras e investigadores de seis paises de Iberoamerica; en un esfuerzo por visibilizar la complejidad y la actualidad de los trabajadores mayores en los mercados de trabajo Iberoamericanos en torno a la salud, el bienestar, la calidad de vida y la preparacion para la jubilacion. A espera no solo de transmitir y compartir el trabajo realizado hasta el momento, sino tambien despertar el interes de otros investigadores por este ambito, uno de los mas relevantes actualmente y en las proximas decadas debido a las estimaciones sobre envejecimiento y los cambios sociodemograficos asociados.

¿Qué es el Círculo de seguridad? ¿Un modelo conceptual? ¿Un método de educación para padres? ¿Una técnica psicoterapéutica? Este libro demuestra que es todo.Gran parte del conocimiento acumulado durante casi 4 decadas de trabajo y desarrollo de la intervencion del Circulo de Seguridad estan descritos en este libro; con el los autores quieren mostrar: Que la mayoria de los problemas de comportamiento y emocionales en niños muy pequeños se pueden relacionar con problemas de apego hacia sus cuidadores principales. Que se puede enseñar a esos cuidadores a mejorar los apegos que fomentan el desarrollo saludable de los niños y les proporcionan la capacidad de formar apegos seguros con sus propios hijos cuando sean adultos. Que los niños que se sienten seguros en las relaciones pueden volverse mas fuertes a la hora de explorar su mundo.Ha habido muchos libros con distintos grados de acierto a la hora de traducir la rica y significativa investigacion del desarrollo a aplicaciones clinicas practicas, pero ninguno ha respondido adecuadamente a la pregunta de como se podria aplicar este conocimiento sobre el apego infantil y adulto al entorno clinico. Habia varias intervenciones que eran compatibles con el apego o que se derivaban de el, pero ninguna parecia incorporar plenamente la teoria y la investigacion del apego. El Circulo de Seguridad es un enfoque que ha cambiado las reglas del juego, esta intervencion interpreta la investigacion del apego de manera mas significativa y directa que cualquier otro enfoque que hayamos visto antes.

Erik Erikson, best known for his life-cycle theory and concept of the identity crisis, proposed that we are comprised of a number of selves. In several earlier books, including At Home in the World, Donald Capps has suggested that the emotional separation of young children - especially boys - from their mothers results in the development of a melancholy self. In this book, Capps employs Eriksons assignment of an inherent strength to each stage of the life cycle and proposes that the life-enhancing strengths of the childhood years (hope, will, purpose, and competence) are central to the development of a resourceful self, and that this self counters the life-diminishing qualities of the melancholy self.Focusing on Eriksons own writings, Capps identifies the four primordial resources that Erikson associates with childhood - humor, play, dreams, and hope - and shows how these resources assist children in confronting lifes difficulties and challenges. Capps further suggests that theresourceful self that develops in childhood is central to Jesus own vision of what we as adults may become if we follow the lead of little children.

The dilemma of how to be emotionally dependent on another without losing oneself underlies many issues that couples bring to therapy and is the stuff of many love songs. Its management results in different dynamics, which the chapters of this book identify. A psychoanalytic understanding of the connections between early, primary relationships and those formed in adulthood sheds light on the experiences of couples, whether or not they enter therapy. Written in an accessible and relatable style, Perrine Moran brings psychoanalytic concepts to couple relationships through the medium of music. In her clinical work as a couple therapist, she often found herself thinking of a specific song that encapsulated something at the core of a couple. At other times, a song came to mind that captured a pattern repeated in a number of couples. Intrigued, Moran began to explore in depth the link between love songs and couples. The result is a book that focuses on different types of couple dynamics, such as disappointment, enmeshment, and difference, and the songs and case vignettes that best illustrate them. Love Songs: Listening to Couples is ideal for practitioners and trainees working with couples and will appeal to a wide range of readers who enjoy popular music and are curious, for personal, academic or professional reasons, about couple dynamics and problematic interactions.
