Si queremos construir sociedades sanas, necesitamos personas mentalmente sanas. Así lo constata el psicoterapeuta especialista en traumas Franz Ruppert. En el presente libro, analiza la dinámica víctima-agresor que se produce a nivel personal y la traslada al ambito social: la traumatizacion de nuestra psique nos conduce a dinamicas relacionales negativas que desencadenan acontecimientos sociales nefastos (guerras, dictaduras, atentados terroristas, etc.).Si queremos evitar los conflictos sociales violentos, tenemos que comprender por que la psique humana es tan proclive a la agresividad con otras personas. Ruppert llega a la conclusion de que la causa determinante de la destructividad de los humanos es la traumatizacion de nuestra mente, porque nos lleva a interminables dinamicas de victima-agresor. Asi, para conseguir la sociedad pacifica que deseamos, no debemos permitir ni aceptar convertirnos en esclavos de nuestra propia psique dañada. Este libro nos hace ver nuestros propios traumas para salir de las acciones negativas y redescubrirnos en el espacio publico y politico de manera sana.

El presente libro se publica en base a la conferencia que dio Viktor Frankl en 1974 en el Instituto Lindenthal de Colonia. ¿Neurotización de la humanidad o rehumanización de la psicoterapia? expone los conceptos humanisticos basicos del metodo psicoterapeutico que el creo, la logoterapia. Para Frankl, es primordial reconocer y reflexionar sobre el sentimiento colectivo que esta experimentando la humanidad: la falta de sentido ante la vida y el miedo que tenemos a hablar de ello. Es la patologia de nuestro tiempo.

Repeticiones de aniversarios, nacimientos que coinciden con fechas de acontecimientos determinantes para una familia determinada, accidentes similares que ocurren a lo largo de varias generaciones... e, incluso, enfermedades que revelan lo que una madre o un abuelo han vivido: la historia familiar suele mostrar repeticiones. Recuerdos que no nos pertenecen se vuelven presentes y activos en nuestra vida hasta el punto de que algunas personas piensan que se enfrentan a un destino. ¿Como todo ello es posible? La herencia de una memoria familiar tiene su origen en la intensidad de las emociones vividas por nuestros antepasados durante un acontecimiento traumatico. Estas emociones se memorizan, se almacenan, antes de ser transmitidas de manera invisible pero muy efectiva. ecientes descubrimientos cientificos (transmision epigenetica, efectos de un trauma, neuronas espejo u ondas cerebrales) describen procesos fisiologicos que nos permiten comprender como la historia de un ancestro puede alcanzarnos y marcarnos con su huella antes incluso de que se produzca nuestra concepcion. Tambien muestran que podemos transformar ese legado y como hacerlo. Vincent-Theo Van Gogh, Arthur Rimbaud y Sigmund Freud, supervivientes de genocidio o criminales... y otros amigos nos acompañan en este descubrimiento.

Todo el mundo está de acuerdo en que madre no hay más que una. Pero es igual de cierto que padre tampoco hay más que uno. Lo cual, por desgracia, se olvida con demasiada frecuencia. Tanto por parte del hombre, que durante siglos ha rehuido su responsabilidad en la familia -mas alla de una generica proteccion fisica o de proporcionar el sustento-; como de la mujer que, al reclamar cotidianamente su cuota de poder, termina monopolizando la educacion de los hijos. Aquilino Polaino, con un estilo agil y ameno, repasa las principales consecuencias que esta ausencia del varon tiene en el mundo de la pareja, en la familia y en la educacion de los hijos. El libro trata a la vez temas de actualidad y educacion, y Polaino ofrece desde su experiencia como psiquiatra y terapeuta familiar interesantes puntos de vista y analisis.¿Hay algun hombre en casa?, aunque esboza soluciones a problemas concretos, no es ni un recetario ni un libro de autoayuda, es un tratado de antropologia sobre la necesidad de que el varon recupere el papel que le corresponde en la pareja y la familia.Aquilino Polaino es Psiquiatra, Doctor en Medicina, Licenciado en Filosofia y Catedratico de Psicopatologia de la Universidad Complutense durante tres decadas. En la actualidad es catedratico en la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad CEU-San Pablo. Amplio sus estudios en las Universidades de Heidelberg, Munich, UCLA y Georgetown, de la que es Profesor Visitante. Es miembro de las Reales Academias de Medicina de Valencia, Cadiz y Granada. Ha impartido numerosos seminarios y cursos universitarios en Universidades de Europa y Latinoamerica y ha publicado mas de cuatrocientos articulos en revistas españolas y extranjeras y alrededor de sesenta libros. En la actualidad reparte su actividad entre la investigacion, la docencia universitaria, la clinica y la terapia familiar.

Los autores, miembros del equipo que trabajó diez años en Palo Alto (California) con Gregory Bateson, estudian aquí la pragmática de la comunicación interpersonal. La comunicación es considerada como una relacion cualitativamente diferente de las propiedades de los individuos que participan en ella.Despues de definir ciertos conceptos generales, los autores presentan las caracteristicas basicas de la comunicacion humana e ilustran sus manifestaciones y sus posibles perturbaciones. Los distintos aspectos de la teoria son ejemplificados mediante un analisis de la pieza ¿Quien teme a Virginia Woolf?, de Edward Albee.Se analiza la importancia especial de la paradoja y la contradiccion en la comunicacion humana, tanto desde el punto de vista de la patologia como de la terapia. La conducta perturbada es vista como una reaccion comunicacional ante una situacion que tiene determinadas propiedades, y no como una enfermedad localizada en la mente del individuo. Se discute tambien la famosa teoria del doble vinculo sobre la esquizofrenia, y se ejemplifica la situacion contradictoria que caracteriza al doble vinculo en unas variadas situaciones interpersonales, incluida la psicoterapia. En el ultimo capitulo se establece una comparacion entre la teoria de la comunicacion y el punto de vista existencial.Dentro de la nueva literatura sobre los fenomenos de la comunicacion humana, este libro esta ya en camino de convertirse en un clasico.

How great would it be to learn from other peoples mistakes rather than having to make our own? In WTF Just Happened? Martin Goodyer presents a hilarious compilation of catastrophes to help readers do just this. Drawing on his experience as a psychologist and taking the perspective of a behavioural change coach, Martin offers insights into peoples often irrational behaviour and suggests ways to avoid such behaviour ourselves. Reading this book wont stop bad things from happening but it can prevent you from making it worse if they do. This is not a self-help book. The self-help bit is up to you. Heres why: self-help books are OK, but many are not great. They normally tell you to do this or that and then youll be fine but real life isnt usually that simple and good advice is only useful if you can remember to use it. Stories, on the other hand, stick with you, and these cautionary tales could help you avoid your own WTF moments. Your empathy for these unfortunate characters might just help you to see things differently and respond in a more positive way the next time life throws something unexpected at you. We all have WTF moments but, unfortunately, few of us respond well. We say and do things that we regret, and in hindsight we know we could have reacted so much better. This collection of cringeworthy stories explains why this happens and offers practical advice to prevent it happening to you. Topics covered include: how to avoid missing the point; how to avoid being embarrassed by being overheard; how to avoid being good but not great; how to avoid getting fired; how to avoid unpleasant romantic surprises; how to avoid your darling children turning into teenage monsters; how to avoid letting yourself go; how to avoid tying the knot with the wrong person; how to avoid losing your way, and be successful despite the odds; how to avoid crushing debt; how to avoid losing your confidence and self-esteem; how to avoid letting life pass you by; how to avoid misinterpretations, mistakes and misunderstandings; how to avoid getting taken for a ride; how to avoid getting dumped all the time; how to avoid losing out at work; how to avoid getting fat; how to avoid losing when you should have won; how to avoid dealing with a bad situation badly; how to avoid getting scammed; how to avoid losing it during a panic; how to avoid being too late; how to avoid losing your friends; how to avoid putting up with unhappiness; how to avoid saying what if and if only; how to avoid leaving your best behind; how to avoid buying into the wrong thing; how to avoid missing an open door; how to avoid being steamrollered by circumstance; how to avoid missing out; how to avoid wishing you hadnt given up; and finally how to avoid being a loser. An ideal book for anyone interested in human behaviour, personal development or avoiding mistakes by learning from others. If you only buy one book to help you handle lifes challenges, then make it this one.

Saber identificar se o seu parceiro esta comprometido afetivamente no relacionamento, principalmente quando se trata de algo recente, pode ser desafiador. Muitos acreditam estar seguros na relaço, mas acabam sendo surpreendidos pelo desaparecimento repentino da pessoa amada, o que pode acarretar uma sensaço devastadora de culpa e vazio. Atualmente, e cada vez mais comum se deparar com relatos de relacionamentos interrompidos sem nenhuma explicaço, deixando a pessoa que sofre o abandono com sequelas psicologicas profundas. Os chamados "fantasmas", quando percebem um aumento no convivio e na intimidade, desaparecem ser dar nenhum sinal, muitas vezes culpando a vitima por uma possivel falha na comunicaço.O conceito do vinculo fantasma exemplifica o fenomeno que ganha cada vez mais força na sociedade atual, a chamada "epidemia da imaturidade", ou seja, a reduço das relaçes a meras vivencias pueris, em que as pessoas fogem das responsabilidades no momento em que elas se tornam concretas e, consequentemente, acabam deixando um rastro de decepço, culpa e frustraçes por onde passam.Tatiana Paranagua, mestre em Psicologia Clinica pela PUC-Rio, onde fez parte do corpo docente por dezessete anos, e professora da Casa do Saber, desvenda a figura moderna do fantasma o individuo que no se enraiza e esta sempre em busca de uma nova experiencia por meio de casos cotidianos e da psicologia analitica, com uma linguagem acessivel e orientaçes praticas que ajudam a entender a complexidade das relaçes humanas e a importancia da empatia e do dialogo na construço de vinculos saudaveis e duradouros.

Francisco Fernández en Ventanas a la Gestalt, echando mano de escritos de filósofos, educadores, poetas y artistas, propone acercarnos a esta corriente psicológica desde cuatro ventanas: el modo de mirar, una optica; la manera de sentir, es decir una estetica; un camino para responder, la etica, y la forma de ir al encuentro, una erotica.Pensar a la terapia desde estas cuatro ventanas, y ademas con miradas ajenas a los postulados clasicos que la guian, amplia de forma descomunal el entendimiento de lo que sucede entre los pacientes y el gestaltista en el consultorio.

E se a paz que você tanto procura não fosse apenas um conceito distante, mas uma realidade possível? Ansiedade. Um inimigo invisível que aflige milhões de corações e mentes, fazendo com que até os mo

Description"You earnestly try to make friends but are ignored; You aim to achieve great things but are underestimated; You go to great lengths to connect with others, yet they remain indifferent to you. Others fail to see your value, leaving you feeling unappreciated; Your strengths are not recognized, rendering you ineffective; You feel like an unnoticed shadow, lacking presence in the crowd. If you cant address these issues, you become the problem! Being frequently ignored and feeling invisible in this era of social capital is incredibly daunting. Interpersonal relationships, simply put, involve how you treat others and how they respond to you; handling complex situations: what to say in various scenarios, and what strategies to use in different circumstances. A Practical Guide to Social Psychology explains the strategies and techniques of social interactions."Author BiographyYin ZhichengYin Zhicheng is a certified international senior trainer by the International Certification Center for Professional Management.
