The Physics of the Mind: New Perspectives for Psychotherapists, Healers, and Seekers is aimed at psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, healers, and anyone interested in the interface of physics and the mind. Both are interesting topics - even more so when combined. Phil Mollons expertise is within psychology and, over his long career, he came to realise the importance of physics to the field. In particular, the branches that place mind and consciousness in the foreground of how we might understand the universe and our place within it. There is a deep organising principle operating at all levels of the universe. It gives rise to life and is apparent within the human mind in dreams and creativity. A key lesson from quantum physics is that consciousness and the human mind are inextricably involved in the emergence of what we can observe and experience of our matter-based realm. In other words, the behaviour of the quantum realm is shaped by our observation of it. Just as we think of space-time as shaped by gravitational forces and massive bodies, so we can conceptualise mind-space. The latter contains mathematical correlithms of thought, emotion, and memory, whereby what is similar attracts more of the same in a manner analogous to gravity. These have effects within the mind and in the wider life-field. For example, severe and repeated childhood trauma creates the equivalent of black holes in the mind-space. Metaphysics posits that our matter-based universe is subtended within an infinite unified field of intelligence and creativity. We are contained within a vast mind. The principle is that unlimited guidance and knowledge is available via meditation and intuition, requiring only that we seek. It is never thrust upon us. This is a book filled with extraordinary ideas to dip into wherever curiosity and intuition lead. It is the authors fervent wish that what is within will stimulate thought and awareness, and spark continuing creative concepts concerning our place in this cosmos.

In total, this volume addresses many of the issues that couples face when either one or both partners has ADHD and the many ways that clinicians can help them in dealing with these issues.Although historically the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD have focused on children, more recently clinicians and researchers have explored the impact of ADHD on adults. Few, however, have focused on the effects of adult ADHD on relationships and marriages, which makes this a must-read for all of those interested in and working with adults with ADHD.

David Levine and Matthew Bowker explore cultural and political trends organized around the conviction that the world we live in is a dangerous place to be, that it is dominated by hate and destruction, and that in it our primary task is to survive by carrying on a life-long struggle against hostile forces. Their method involves the analysis of public fantasies to reveal their hidden meanings. The central fantasy explored is the fantasy of a destroyed world, which appears most commonly in the form of post-apocalyptic and dystopian narratives. Their special concern in the book is with defenses against the painful consequences of the dominance of this fantasy in the inner world, especially defenses involving the use of guilt to assure that something can be done to repair the destroyed world. Topics explored include: the formation of internal fortresses and their projection into the world outside, forms of guilt including bystander guilt and survivor guilt, the loss of and search for home, and manic forms of reparation.

Conflicts have accompanied mankind since time immemorial, and for almost as long people have been trying to limit and deal with them whether as those affected by them or as professionals with more or less success. For once a system of conflict has developed, once negative expectation structures and with them negative self-evident truths and inherent laws have developed, it becomes increasingly difficult for those involved to escape them: The complexity of our social world, in which it is not easy for communication to find its way, remains unseen. A violated sense of justice, misunderstandings and unfortunate attempts to correct them alternate. One begins to attribute the causes of the conflict to the "person" ("Its you! Its your fault!") and to attribute negative motives to the conflict partner ("Youre only doing this because ...!"), who in turn does the same just like a carousel that slowly gets going. A number of well-studied but little-known psychological processes occur within us when we are in conflict. Outrage at the other person grows, usually unfortunately on both sides. Slowly, the "carousel of outrage and indignation" begins to spin - faster and faster, until...The book places the various psychological mechanisms in the context of a systemic understanding of conflict and explains ways to slow down the carousel.

O livro Terapia Sandplay: Fundamentos, Como Aplicar a Terapia Sandplay e Prática Clínica é uma obra essencial para todos os profissionais que desejam se aprofundar no método terapêutico do Sandplay.

En este libro presentamos una experiencia clínica renovada ante la cual no podremos permanecer indiferentes. Una vez más, usando el protocolo de B. Weiss, los resultados confirman las primeras conjeturas: somos criaturas en periodo deaprendizaje, en el lugar que nos es dado para experimentar-aprender, por lo que es sensato atender, cuidar y ayudar. Encaramos de nuevo una nueva investigacion en Terapia Regresiva, en un conjunto de casos que fortalecen las anteriores investigaciones, respaldando que la visualizacion no es solo una herramienta productiva y terapeutica, sino que de igual modo nos puede permitir percepciones elevadas y determinantes, que nos permitan caer en la cuenta de nuestra principal naturaleza superior. La tecnica de la respiracion, la relajacion subsiguiente, el trance leve, moderado o profundo y la visualizacion, nos abren puertas y ventanas a una realidad duradera superior: Somos seres de luz; solamente tenemos que indagar para poder consentirnoslo.

La terapia metacognitiva (TMC) ayuda tanto al paciente como al terapeuta a tomar distancia del trabajo, en ocasiones repetitivo, abriéndonos a una nueva perspectiva capaz de superar los posibles obstaculos al tratamiento. ¡Un trabajo excelente!Monica Ramirez Basco, PhD autora de Manual practico del trastorno bipolarUn abordaje original e innovador que se centra en como piensan y que creen los pacientes. Bien fundamentado cientificamente y con abundantes y poderosas estrategias clinicas, es una herramienta muy valiosa para la practica de diferentes disciplinas profesionales.Steven D. Hollon, PhD, Universidad VanderbiltEste revolucionario libro explica el porque y el como de la TCM, una innovadora modalidad de terapia cognitivo-conductual con una creciente base de evidencia empirica. En el, Adrian Wells, creador de la TMC, nos muestra que gran parte del distres psicologico se deriva mucho mas del modo en que la persona responde a las creencias y los pensamientos negativos -por ejemplo, con la rumiacion o la preocupacion- que del contenido de dichos pensamientos. El autor nos presenta tecnicas practicas y protocolos especificos con los que abordar los procesos metacognitivos para tratar de manera efectiva el trastorno de ansiedad generalizada, el trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo, el trastorno de estres postraumatico y la depresion mayor. Entre sus caracteristicas mas destacadas se incluyen planes de tratamientos replicables y herramientas de evaluacion y formulacion de casos, asi como abundante material de casos ilustrativos.
