Llenando un vacío crucial en la bibliografía clínica, este libro ofrece una visión contemporánea del narcisismo patológico y presenta un enfoque innovador de tratamiento. Los destacados autores exploran las dificultades especiales para tratar a pacientes -ya sea con rasgos narcisistas o con un trastorno narcisista de la personalidad plenamente desarrollado- que se retraen de la realidad para adentrarse en una grandiosidad narcisista, poniendo con ello en peligro sus vidas y sus relaciones interpersonales.Los procedimientos de evaluacion y las estrategias terapeuticas han sido adaptados de la psicoterapia focalizada en la transferencia (TFP), que es un tratamiento manualizado y basado en la evidencia para su aplicacion originalmente al trastorno limite de la personalidad. Abundante material de casos ilustra la forma en la que la TFP-N permite al profesional clinico implicar a los pacientes mas profundamente en la terapia y ayudarlos a superar los problemas de relacion y de conducta de diferentes niveles de gravedad.El volumen integra la teoria y la investigacion psicodinamicas con los hallazgos derivados de la cognicion social, el apego, la mentalizacion y la neurobiologia.

Lançado originalmente em 1978, este livro permanece tão atual que parece ter sido escrito ontem. Aqui, José Angelo Gaiarsa faz uma análise sociológica, filosófica, histórica e psicológica da fofoca.

El objetivo principal de esta manual es ofrecer un programa de tratamiento psicológico que, junto al tratamiento farmacológico, reduzca las hospitalizaciones y las recaídas, y mejore la calidad de vida y la recuperacion funcional de los pacientes con trastorno bipolar o con trastorno bipolar refractario.El tratamiento farmacologico ha sido, hasta hace pocos años, el unico tratamiento ofertado a los pacientes con un trastorno bipolar, mostrandose insuficiente en una gran proporcion de casos. En los ultimos años se ha investigado la influencia de diferentes terapias psicosociales en el trastorno bipolar, apostando por la necesidad de un programa estructurado que combinara tecnicas de distintos modelos. Por ello, presentamos un programa de tratamiento psicologico de veinte sesiones para ser aplicado en formato grupal, que integra psicoeducacion con terapia cognitivo-conductual y añade tecnicas de otros modelos. Este programa se desarrolla en el medio clinico habitual de los pacientes, por lo que puede ponerse en practica tanto en hospitales como en centros de salud mental. Este manual pretende ofrecer a los profesionales un amplio repertorio de estrategias utiles y practicas para mejorar la evolucion de nuestros pacientes. El presente volumen se completa con la obra Ojos que si ven. Soy Bipolar. (Diez entrevistas) (Ed. Desclee De Brouwer. Coleccion Serendipity. Bilbao 2011), un compendio de diez entrevistas de corte humano con pacientes bipolares que participaron en esta experiencia cientifica.Ana Gonzalez Isasi (Vitoria-Gasteiz, 1977).

Este libro se dirige a los psicólogos, a profesores de Psicología, a profesionales de la psicoterapia y a los estudiantes de Psicología que están interesados en conocer, tras más de medio siglo de historia del Movimiento de la Psicologia Humanista, que es lo esencial de las llamadas psicoterapias humanistas.Cuando en los años cincuenta del siglo XX un grupo de psicologos y psiquiatras procedentes de distintas corrientes crearon la Humanistic Psychology Association, y el Journal of Humanistic Psychology, ¿que es lo les unia dentro de su diversidad de modelos terapeuticos? ¿que es lo que rechazaban? ¿cuales eran sus principales aspiraciones? Y a lo largo de algo mas de medio siglo de historia ¿cuales han sido sus principales logros y posibles errores?Y respecto al proceso terapeutico en las psicoterapias humanistas y sus bases epistemologicas y cientificas ¿como se manifiesta en ellas el relieve que conceden a lo experiencial y a lo existencial? ¿cual es la complejidad de la dinamica del proceso terapeutico? ¿como se ha comprobado y fundamentado cientificamente la eficacia de implicar el trabajo con imagenes y con el cuerpo en ejercicios apropiados para cada tipo de problemas y pacientes, durante la sesion terapeutica? Estas son las preguntas a las que trata de responder este libro.Asimismo se ofrece una breve informacion sobre algunos de los contenidos principales del primer modelo terapeutico original de linea existencial humanista- creado en nuestro pais: la Psicoterapia Integradora Humanista.

Transforming Themes challenges the dominant view of psychotherapy as a structured, reductionist process. Instead, it views psychotherapy as an alive, unrehearsed interaction that embraces healing when it is focused on the role of therapeutic themes. These themes are the entrenched frames of references or contexts from which clients perceive their lives. In any interaction, each participant has a unique worldview. When clients come to therapy, they bring their problems in the form of a theme: the woman who cant forgive or the child who is a terror. Any potential statement or action performed within this theme merely strengthens the problem. Only when the theme of the therapy session has shifted can clients gain access to inner resources to shift perspectives and begin inner transformation. Effective therapy results from moving clients into more flexible, empowering themes. These changes occur as a result of the dynamic interaction between therapist and client, which embraces improvisation, creativity, and novelty, rather than adherence to specific theories or techniques. Using historical and modern research and colourful case studies, this work will help professionals understand how to easily adapt and apply creative and resourceful therapy interventions, no matter what therapeutic orientation they endorse. This book will enable therapists, counsellors, psychologists, and social workers to gain access to creative, effective methods which help their clients heal while increasing effectiveness and enjoyment in clinical work.

El papel que desempeñan los padres en el tratamiento de un hijo es un tema de vital importancia en la terapia de niños y adolescentes. Sin embargo, se trata de una cuestión sobre la que apenas se ha profundizado y no existe un modelo definido con el que llevar a cabo dicha tarea. La presente obra es fruto del trabajo de Kerry Kelly Novick y Jack Novick a lo largo de varias decadas, en el que se integra a los padres en una labor de equipo en la terapia con los hijos. Los diferentes apartados del libro se corresponden con cada una de las fases del proceso terapeutico. Se describen las tareas de la alianza terapeutica de las distintas partes implicadas en el proceso -hijo, padres y terapeuta- asi como las angustias suscitadas y los mecanismos empleados para contrarrestarlas.Asimismo, Trabajo con padres y terapia con hijos se focaliza en el amor parental primario como uno de los elementos que permite restituir, tanto al hijo como a los padres, en una trayectoria de desarrollo mutuamente gratificante.

Through the Magic Door Arthur Conan Doyle - I care not how humble your bookshelf may be, nor how lowly the room which it adorns. Close the door of that room behind you, shut off with it all the cares of the outer world, plunge back into the soothing company of the great dead, and then you are through the magic portal into that fair land whither worry and vexation can follow you no more. You have left all that is vulgar and all that is sordid behind you. There stand your noble, silent comrades, waiting in their ranks. Pass your eye down their files. Choose your man. And then you have but to hold up your hand to him and away you go together into dreamland. Surely there would be something eerie about a line of books were it not that familiarity has deadened our sense of it. Each is a mummified soul embalmed in cere-cloth and natron of leather and printers ink. Each cover of a true book enfolds the concentrated essence of a man. The personalities of the writers have faded into the thinnest shadows, as their bodies into impalpable dust, yet here are their very spirits at your command.

Is there a life after death? Answers to the big question offers a comprehensive insight into the profound questions about the topic of existence after death. At a time when many people are confronted with uncertainties about spirituality and consciousness, this book becomes a valuable resource for everyone who wants to deal with metaphysical topics. It is aimed at readers who are looking for answers, philosophical interest or the need for consolation in difficult situations. The work analyzes historical and cultural perspectives on the hereafter and illuminates different belief systems - from ancient Egyptians to contemporary spiritual currents. In addition, scientific perspectives on research into awareness and its possible continuation are treated after physical death. Neuroscientific trends are also considered, in particular the question of whether consciousness can exist independently of the body.

Whether youre fairly new to therapy or youve practiced for many years, no doubt at times youve found yourself stumped with certain clients who leave you feeling perplexed and discouraged with that I-just-dont-know-what-to-do-next feeling. George Gafner has been there and thats precisely why he wrote this book. The reality is that todays cookie-cutter treatment mentality presupposes that all people with, say, depression, can be treated essentially the same way, which virtually ignores the established fact that a good deal of a persons mental functioning is governed not by conscious choice but instead by automatic, or unconscious, forces that lie outside voluntary control

At one time, Virginia Todd Holeman "Toddy" thought being biblically literate was all she needed and had little interest in what real theologians talked about. But in her counseling she found that clients pressed her for more.They didnt just want what she had gained through training in the best theories and practices available for counseling. They asked hard theological questions often related to their suffering. As she describes it, they experienced a kind of "theological disequilibrium . . . which left them discouraged, disoriented and often distraught."Holeman shows how deep and clear theological reflection can make a major difference in counseling practice. Not only can it shape who we are, it can also bring into greater alignment our theological commitments, our therapeutic practices and our professional ethics. All the while it can have the most practical effect on our counseling sessions. In this volume Holeman guides counseling students, pastoral counselors and licensed mental health professionals into becoming as well-formed theologically as they are trained clinically.Christian Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS) Books explore how Christianity relates to mental health and behavioral sciences including psychology, counseling, social work, and marriage and family therapy in order to equip Christian clinicians to support the well-being of their clients.

Even the tragic and negative aspects of life, such as unavoidable suffering, can be turned into a human achievement by the attitude which a man adopts toward his predicament... to transform despair into triumph.Holocaust survivor Viktor E. Frankl is known as the founder of logotherapy, a mode of psychotherapy based on our desire to search for meaning in our lives.The Will to Meaning offers an introduction to Frankls pioneering system of thought, and outlines the psychological tools needed to find hope in the face of adversity.

Sandplay therapy is based on the psychology of Carl Jung and developed by the Swiss psychotherapist and teacher Dora Kalff. By placing miniature figurines in a small sandbox to express confusing feelings and inner experiences, patients create a visual representation of their psyches contents and reveal unconscious concerns that are inaccessible any other way. In this beautiful, full-color volume, sandplay therapist, Barbara Turner has recorded Dora Kalffs teachings, transcribed from the shorthand notes she made during the original lectures. The sand trays are replications Dr. Turner constructed from the sketches she drew of the photos and the verbal descriptions Mrs. Kalff gave during her lectures. These are treasures in the history of sandplay, and this book makes them available to those who did not have the opportunity to study directly with this remarkable teacher.

Jean Benjamin Stora has worked as a psychoanalyst and psychosomatist for almost five decades. The aim of integrative psychosomatics is to heal the body and mind in relationship to one another rather than treating the body as a machine with parts to be fixed. Thus, Stora explores a patients current and past life history in relation to physical illness and offers therapeutic support alongside medical treatments. To better understand this revolutionary approach, Stora presents fifteen case studies from the past twenty years. We read of George suffering from hyperlipidemia; Giles, a diabetic facing amputation; Elvira, an alcoholic; Dorothy, who complains the doctors treat body parts but not her; Beatrice facing a reappearance of breast cancer; and ten further patients. This complex process takes into account the fundamental role of the central nervous system in the relationship of mind and body. Thus, neuroscience is a key component of this holistic approach, as well as the new discipline of neuropsychoanalysis. This is most clearly shown in the case of Emma, suffering after brain surgery. The Psychosomatic Therapy Casebook is an excellent introduction to integrative psychosomatics. The stories presented in the first four chapters can be read by anyone with an interest in the subject. The fifth and final chapter is aimed at psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, and doctors looking to gain a greater understanding of the practice. It contains a comprehensive review of the technical points involved and clearly shows the difference between psychoanalytic technique and the technique of psychosomatic therapy. This is an important book in learning to treat the person as a whole rather than split into mind and body.

Richard Hill and Ernest L. Rossis The Practitioners Guide to Mirroring Hands: A Client-Responsive Therapy that Facilitates Natural Problem-Solving and Mind Body Healing describes in detail how Mirroring Hands is conducted, and explores the framework of knowledge and understanding that surrounds and supports its therapeutic process. Foreword by Jeffrey K. Zeig, Ph.D. In this instructive and illuminating manual, Hill and Rossi show you how Mirroring Hands enables clients to unlock their problem-solving and mind body healing capacities to arrive at a resolution in a way that many other therapies might not. The authors offer expert guidance as to its client-responsive applications and differentiate seven variations of the technique in order to give the practitioner confidence and comfort in their ability to work within and around the possibilities presented while in session. Furthermore, Hill and Rossi punctuate their description of how Mirroring Hands is conducted with a range of illustrative casebook examples and stage-by-stage snapshots of the therapy in action: providing scripted language prompts and images of a clients hand movement that demonstrate the processes behind the technique as it takes the client from disruption into the therapeutic; and from there to integration, resolution, and a state of well-being. This book begins by tracing the emergence of the Mirroring Hands approach from its origins in Rossis studies and experiences with Milton H. Erickson and by presenting a transcription of an insightful discussion between Rossi and Hill as they challenge some of the established ways in which we approach psychotherapy, health, and well-being. Building upon this exchange of ideas, the authors define and demystify the nature of complex, non-linear systems and skillfully unpack the three key elements of induction to therapeutic consciousness focused attention, curiosity, and nascent confidence in a section dedicated to preparing the client for therapy. Hill and Rossi supply guidance for the therapist through explanation of therapeutic dialogues non-directive language principles, and through exploration of the four-stage cycle that facilitates the clients capacity to access their natural problem-solving and mind body healing. The advocate Mirroring Hands as not only a therapeutic technique, but also for all practitioners engaged in solution-focused therapy. Through its enquiry into the vital elements of client-cue observation, symptom-scaling, and rapport-building inherent in the therapist/client relationship, this book shares great wisdom and insight that will help the practitioner become more attuned to their clients inner worlds and communication patterns. Hill and Rossi draw on a wealth of up-to-date neuroscientific research and academic theory to help bridge the gap between therapys intended outcomes and its measured neurological effects, and, towards the books close, also open the door to the study of quantum field theory to inspire the readers curiosity in this fascinating topic. An ideal progression for those engaged in mindfulness and meditation, this book is the first book on the subject specially written for all mental health practitioners and is suitable for students of counseling, psychotherapy, psychology, and hypnotherapy, as well as anyone in professional practice.
