Stemmen, geluiden, beelden en allerlei ideeën komen ongevraagd je hoofd binnen. Door deze vreemde waarnemingen raakt de geest ervan overtuigd dat er iets bijzonders aan de hand is. Er ontstaat chaos, controleverlies, paniek of apathie. Deze "kortsluiting in het hoofd" is typerend voor een psychose. Niet alleen degene die een psychose doormaakt, maar ook de omgeving weet zich vaak geen raad met wat er gebeurt. Het is immers bizar te zien hoe een geliefd persoon verandert in een ander, onbegrijpelijk en soms zelfs gevaarlijk mens.Een psychose maakt veel kapot. Het contact met de normale belevingswereld, de eigen gedachten en het zelfvertrouwen raakt ernstig verstoord. Maar ook het contact met de sociale omgeving - familie, geliefden en vrienden - staat onder grote druk.Leven met een psychotische stoornis is een zelfhulpboek voor zowel patiënten als hun partners en familieleden. Naast een uitgebreide beschrijving van de verschillende ziektebeelden, oorzaken en prognoses, geeft Martin Appelo talrijke praktische "leefregels" voor de patiënt en zijn omgeving. Het is daarom een nuttig en verhelderend vademecum voor mensen die aan een psychotische stoornis lijden en een onmisbare leidraad voor iedereen die beroepsmatig of privé met hen te maken heeft.Leven met een psychotische stoornis verschijnt in de reeks Van A tot ggZ.

Summary   Following the demise of the so-called grand theories offered by luminaries like Sigmund Freud, B. F. Skinner, and Carl Rogers, the field of psychology largely gave up its early aspirations to paint a broad picture of the human condition, and now the discipline focuses primarily on empirical problems that have a relatively narrow scope. The consequence has been a proliferation of interesting findings with no real capacity to answer big questions or to generate a shared general understanding of the human condition. This book seeks to change the status quo and offers up a new unified theory of psychology that redefines the science and the profession and paints a new picture of human nature in the process.  _____________________________________________________________________________   Praise for A New Unified Theory of Psychology   The field of psychology is known for its paradoxical combination of sweeping scope and impressive micro-theories, on the one hand, and fragmentation and internecine squabbling, on the other. To this state of affairs, any serious effort to provide integration and unity within psychological knowledge and understanding is heartily welcomed. And Henriques' effort in this regard is not only serious, but one of the most cogent, scholarly, sophisticated, beautifully reasoned, clearly articulated, and accessibly written presentations of a unified theory in psychology that I have seen in my 50 years in the discipline.   Daniel B. Fishman, Author of The Case for Pragmatic Psychology, Professor, Rutgers University   As the field of psychology has grown, so have the challenges of fragmentation and of misunderstandings. This brave book represents a noble quest to provide a broad, values-based, and scientific framework which holds the power to organize our work and move us forward in strong, new ways.  Lawrence G. Calhoun, Author of Facilitating Post-Traumatic Growth,  Professor, University of North Carolina-Charlotte    In this very ambitious book, Henriques makes a strong case for why bold efforts are needed in the fragmented realm of psychological research and theory. Although different readers will likely make different judgments about how well Henriques has succeeded in his aims, it nevertheless is an act of intellectual daring that can perhaps inspire psychologists to look outside the narrow confines of a single laboratory paradigm and open their thinking to how to address the full range of human behavior and experience.  Paul L. Wachtel, Author of Therapeutic Communication,  Distinguished Professor, CUNY    Concise, erudite, and practical, this book is a manifesto that challenges psychology to move past fragmented domains of knowledge to a consilient framework, which will allow multi-disciplinary discourse and scientific advances. I suggest all scientists, psychotherapists, and scholars spend some time familiarizing themselves with the concepts and suggestions presented in this seminal volume by a leading scholar.  Jeffrey Magnavita, Author of Personality Guided Relational Psychotherapy, Founder of the Unified Psychotherapy Project

Graduation, full-time employment, independent living, marriage, parenthood for decades this has been the idealized trajectory to adulthood. More recently, however, scholars, practitioners, and young adults themselves are recognizing the disconnect between long-held cultural scripts and current social and economic realities, as more young adults are following a wide range of pathways to adulthood.   Early Adulthood in a Family Context provides insight on a contemporary cross-section of families that are diverse in terms of class, ethnicity, immigrant status, and economic circumstances. Focusing on family characteristics and dynamics that promote successful transitions to early adulthood, the book presents new theories, methodologies, and findings about the familial experiences and behaviors of young adults with their parents, partners, and offspring. Contributors also warn against oversimplified conclusions by emphasizing the variety of pathways to adulthood and recommending public policy supports for young adults. Included in the coverage:  Parental support and young adults' well-being. Young adults in the digital world. Child well-being and the long reach of the family. Developmental shifts in romantic/sexual relationships from adolescence to young adulthood. Becoming a parent: social contexts of fertility during young adulthood. Young adult fertility in the context of economic disadvantage. Early Adulthood in a Family Context brings current issues into clear perspective and deserves a wide audience among researchers, faculty, and students of human development and family studies, family sociology, and demography as well as policy makers and practitioners.

In recent years there has been a tremendous growth in psychology as a field of study and in the number of students of clinical psychology in particular. The latter is partly due to the proliferation of professional schools of psychology that are devoted to practitioner-oriented degrees, rather than the traditional research-oriented course of study. Whatever school students emerge from, however, they are obliged to demonstrate proficiency in providing clinical services. This multi-volume handbook, is devoted to describing the core competency areas in providing psychological services which is relevant to practitioners as well as clinical researchers. As such, it covers assessment and conceptualization of cases, the application of evidence-based methods, supervision, consultation, cross-cultural factors, and ethics. The Handbook comprises three volumes with contributions by experts in each area. The goal is to provide detailed descriptions of competence levels and describe the developmental trajectory required to reach the highest of these levels. Each chapter in Volume I will follow a similar format including an overview, basic competencies, and expert competencies. This will facilitate easy comparison across chapters. All will be illustrated with case examples. Subsequent volumes will have a similarly structured format that will include maintenance factors, mechanisms of change, evidence-based treatment approaches, and a focus on the transition from basic skills to expert functioning. It is expected that the systematic presentation of skills will provide a gold standard against which to measure individual performance and in this regard will be valuable to students, instructors, and credentialing bodies.
