Abstract

Questo volume è pensato contemporaneamente come un’introduzione sia alla psicologia dinamica sia alla psicoanalisi. I primi capitoli, dopo aver mostrato la specificità dell’approccio psicodinamico all’uomo e proposto cenni di diagnosi e nosografia psichiatrica e psicoanalitica, passa in rassegna gli autori appartenenti alla prima psichiatria dinamica, precursori del pensiero di Freud. La parte centrale del volume è interamente dedicata a Freud: lo sviluppo del suo pensiero è descritto tramite un inquadramento storico degli eventi personali e sociali del tempo; particolare attenzione è dedicata ai suoi casi clinici, dei quali sono mostrati quindi gli aspetti tecnici dell’agire psicoanalitico. NEi capitoli finali vengono trattati quegli autori che, insieme a Freud, furono alla base dello sviluppo e della diffusione del pensiero psicoanalitico, a volte contrapponendosi umanamente e scientificamente a lui.

Abstract

The interactive computer-generated world of virtual reality has been successful in treat­ing phobias and other anxiety-related conditions, in part because of its distinct advan­tages over traditional in vivo exposure. Yet many clinicians still think of VR technology as it was in the 1990s–bulky, costly, technically difficult–with little knowledge of its evolution toward more modern, evidence-based, practice-friendly treatment. These updates, and their clinical usefulness, are the subject of Advances in Virtual Re­ality and Anxiety Disorders, a timely guidebook geared toward integrating up-to-date VR methods into everyday practice. Introductory material covers key virtual reality concepts, provides a brief history of VR as used in therapy for anxiety disorders, ad­dresses the concept of presence, and explains the side effects, known as cybersickness, that affect a small percentage of clients. Chapters in the book's main section detail current techniques and review study findings for using VR in the treatment of: ·                     Claustrophobia. ·                     Panic disorder, agoraphobia, and driving phobia. ·                     Acrophobia and aviophobia. ·                     Arachnophobia. ·                     Social phobia. ·                     Generalized anxiety disorder and OCD. ·                     PTSD. ·                     Plus clinical guidelines for establishing a VR clinic.  An in-depth framework for effective (and cost-effective) therapeutic innovations for entrenched problems, Advances in Virtual Reality and Anxiety Disorders will find an engaged audience among psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and mental health counselors.eractive computer-generated world of virtual reality has been successful in treating phobias and other anxiety-related conditions, in part because of its distinct advantages over traditional in vivo exposure.

Abstract

Schizophrenia is often associated with an inadequate response to pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments. How to treat patients who have an unsatisfactory response to anti-psychotics, including clozapine - which is unequivocally the most powerful antipsychotic medication for this recalcitrant population  - remains a clinical conundrum. A range of adjunctive medications have been tried with mixed results; there has also been renewed interest in the role of neuromodulatory strategies, electroconvulsive therapy, and cognitive and vocational approaches. Perhaps a bright spot for the future lies in the evolution of pharmacogenetic approaches for individualized care.   In this book, leading experts from Europe, Australia and the Americas provide a timely appraisal of treatments for the most severely ill schizophrenia patients. This clinically focused  book is informed by the latest research on the neurobiology and treatment of schizophrenia. It is comprehensive in scope, covering current treatment options, various add-on approaches, and a range of psychosocial treatments. The contributors are respected experts who have combined their clinical experience with cutting-edge research to provide readers with authoritative information on fundamental aspects of clinical care for schizophrenia.

Abstract

Despite the importance of regaining social roles during recovery from mental illness, the intersection between motherhood and serious mental illness is often overlooked. This book aims to rectify that neglect. A series of introductory chapters describing current research and services available to mothers with serious mental illness are followed by personal accounts of clients reflecting on their parenting experiences. One goal of the book is to provide clinicians with information on this seldom addressed topic, which they can then use to help patients who are struggling with questions and barriers in their attempts to parent. The inclusion of personal accounts of mothers on issues such as stigma, fears, and discrimination in the context of parenting with a mental illness is intended to promote the message of mental illness recovery to a larger audience as well. Finally, it is hoped that this handbook will help inspire more research on mothers with mental illness and the creation of more services tailored to their needs.

Abstract

Praise for Treatment and Management of Maladaptive Schemas:   “This groundbreaking book helps mental health practitioners (as well as anyone else who reads it) identify and change their clients' maladaptive schema into those that are positive, life-affirming, and adaptive. It also presents an original paradigm of consciousness that encompasses all areas of human growth and development, healthy and unhealthy, wise and downright stupid.” Stanley Krippner, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology, Saybrook University   "This book provides...a context and vocabulary to understand and ultimately suggest ways to alleviate the negative consequences of traumatic events on our lives." Brendan D. Leonard, M.B.A. Fellow Former Trustee with Eric Kreuter, Saybrook University   Treatment and Management of Maladaptive Schemas offers innovative means of altering self-destructive beliefs and their resulting behaviors. Likening change in individuals' entrenched ways of organizing the world to paradigm shifts in science, this path-breaking volume models cognitive therapy and counseling that is both schema-focused and strengths-based. This framework spans toxic schemas in relationships, positive and negative uses of spirituality, bedrock client skills including realistic goal-setting and overcoming impasses and fears, and key therapist skills such as assessing problems, bonding effectively with clients, and evaluating progress. And for maximum utility, chapter synopses identify key concepts, case summaries translate technique into practice, and appendices provide helpful tools and creative insights. Included in the coverage:   Paradigms and maladaptive schemas. Schema-focused cognitive therapy. How do we define success? The source of paradigmatic thinking. Catalyzing the hidden inner strength toward exploration. Clients who shifted paradigms: case examples.   Offering fresh possibilities for client hope and confidence, Treatment and Management of Maladaptive Schemas opens up new therapeutic avenues for clinicians and professional coaches, as well as students of behavioral psychology and human resource professionals.

Abstract

Adolescent Identity Treatment: An Integrative Approach for Personality Pathology is a groundbreaking title that provides general and specific clinical strategies to help adolescents who lack an integrated identity.  The authors have developed a treatment based on the integration of object relations theory, family systems, attachment, developmental neurobiology and cognitive behavioral approaches that focuses on clearing blockages to normal identity development and  adaptive functioning. While most adolescents build satisfying interpersonal relationships, are successful in school and work, and begin romantic relationships, there is a minority of adolescents who do not succeed in this and are at a high risk of developing problems in school, work, and relationships,  problems with affect regulation as well as engaging in a wide range of self-destructive behaviors. In addition to a description of the disorder and assessment, this manual offers extensive clinical examples and concrete interventions, with phase-specific treatment components, including a clear treatment frame, psychoeducation, environmental interventions (with a "Home Plan" that addresses self-care behaviors, responsibilities and improved boundaries that fosters the development of better relationships between the adolescent and family), and parenting strategies, all in the service of creating a space for the individual work with the adolescent.
