"Unforeseen Patterns" by Reza AvestaThis book is about political prisoner's sustainability with a point of biological psychology views.The author's motivation for writing this book was to seek answers to two fundamental questions: First, why is the sustainability in political prisons so different for any individuals? This means why one person resists less while another one does more? And since any kind of sustainability in prison is based on their decisions, the second question is how conscious are those decisions?Regarding the first question, the emphasis is on the differences between people; Genetic differences and all social effects on individuals. And regarding the second question, we have no other choice but to enter into the controversial topic of free will. The book tries to simplify and summarize the complex behaviour of the brain, not with the intention of reductionism, but with the aim of presenting a brief, non-specialist and non-academic book. The short references that are made here to the structure and function of the brain and topics such as consciousness and free will are only from the perspective of the main goal of the book, which is to find answers for the two mentioned questions.

Against the Current is a true story about a member of the first generation of teenagers to be confronted with the lightning speed advances of an online world that continue to challenge their pursuit of a happier and healthier life. It is a memoir that moves from gross misuse to having all devices locked away, and a struggle to even carry a mobile phone that transforms an otherwise ordinary life into a battle for survival in the modern world. But it is this experience that makes them discover that the need for a balance between staying connected and maintaining a decent level of personal care, is not so peculiar after all.

David Wilson's initial research into the phenomenon of prophecy in the Hebrew Bible suggested that many of the passages featuring prophets, and hitherto considered to be bizarre myths (or much-edited collections of traditions) were, in fact, sequences of dreams. Moreover, it was possible to compare the structure of these sequences with the structure of a night's sleep (hypnogram)--as revealed by modern sleep research--to demonstrate that the "sleeper" was depressed. This characteristic, depressive sleep architecture was then used to show that three characters in particular, Elijah, Jonah, and Adam--compared in the New Testament with Jesus--were all, in fact, depressed. Quite naturally, this raised further questions concerning the nature of Jesus himself: Was he merely a prophet? If he wasn't, how did he differ? If he was depressed, how was he able to function (and succeed in his mission) when Elijah and Jonah clearly had such great difficulties? These and other questions are raised throughout this book, and many of them are not new, but they are, however, changed forever when asked against a contextual background of altered states of consciousness (ASCs), and dreamform in particular.

After exploring the latest knowledge on the diagnosis, course, theories, and contributing factors of childhood depression, the author presents a step-by-step description of family-focused treatment for childhood depression (FFT-CD), which integrates CBT and family therapy goals.Treatments for depression that work well for adolescents and adults cannot simply be extended to children as their cognitive capabilities are not as fully developed nor stable. FFT-CD focuses on positive and supportive parent-child interactions that support the development of a positive self, helping parents provide the child with additional positive feedback on their developmentally appropriate achievements, and enhancing child and family coping. Downloadable resources include numerous FFT-CD handouts for children and parents.

Anyone working in trauma-informed care knows that the body keeps the score. This is why PTSD therapy can make such a difference in not only the mental health of those suffering from PTSD and complex PTSD but also in their physical health. However, psychotherapy for PTSD, cognitive behavioural therapy, and internal family systems therapy aren't always enough. For clients needing an alternative therapy for PTSD, accelerated resolution therapy, or ART, offers a promising solution. This relatively new evidence-based therapy may not have made it into every PTSD textbook yet but is well on its way to become mental health providers' first choice for trauma informed therapy because it delivers real results in such a short time: only about eight sessions. You may have already undergone basic ART training and have even read an accelerated resolution therapy book or two. So what makes this one different? Come Passion - The Soulful ART of Healing Trauma and What to Do Before You Deliver Accelerated Resolution Therapy isn't simply an accelerated resolution therapy manual and its focus isn't on the ART itself but on how to prepare your client and yourself for your sessions. It is designed to enhance your work as an ART therapist and help you refine your skills. In addition to providing you with the foundation you need, this mood disorders therapy workbook also gives you practical tools, such as scripts and checklists, that can help you streamline your sessions with your client. It is the PTSD and complex PTSD recovery workbook you will return to again and again as you become more adept at delivering this soulful art of helping your clients heal from their trauma-related wounds.

Embodied, Embedded, and Enactive Psychopathology presents a new way of thinking about mental disorder that is holistic yet critically minded, biologically plausible yet value-inclusive, and scientific yet deeply compassionate. Grounded in an embodied, embedded, and enactive (3e) view of human functioning, this book presents a novel conceptual framework for the study and treatment of mental disorders and explores implications for the tasks of classification, explanation, and treatment. Chapters one to three argue for the central role of conceptualization in the study and treatment of mental disorders. Popular conceptual models are critiqued, including other recent enactive frameworks. Chapters four to seven then present 3e Psychopathology and explore its implications. This includes analysis of both research-based efforts to explain mental disorders, and methods for formulating individual-level explanations in clinical practice. New answers are presented for important questionssuch as: are mental disorders things we do or get? Are mental disorders defined in nature or are they socially constructed? Are mental disorders the same things across different cultures? And, are mental disorders located in our brains, bodies, or environments? This engaging work offers fresh insights that will appeal to clinicians, researchers, and those with an interest in the philosophy of psychiatry.

"This book is for anyone who feels that they're sleepwalking through life, looking for answers to challenging emotions and the practical tools to begin living the life they want. ... You can't quite put your finger on it, but somehow you just don't feel like you're thriving or truly participating in your own life. This is the result of a build-up of life's scrapes, papercuts, and bruises that have left you feeling simply 'not ok.' Emotional illiteracy, microaggressions, challenging familial relationships, toxic positivity, and gaslighting are some examples of what I call 'Tiny T' trauma--the impact of which often leads to problems such as high-functioning anxiety, languishing, perfectionism, comfort eating, and sleep disturbance, to name but a few"--

"Psychodrama is one of the most effective treatments of PTSD and developmental trauma that I am familiar with, and Tian Dayton has written a terrific manual to serve as our guide."- Bessel van der Kolk, MD, professor of psychiatry at Boston University School of Medicine, president of the Trauma Research Foundation, and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Body Keeps the Score "In this treatment guide, Tian Dayton has provided us with an unparalleled approach for treating relational trauma. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is treating the pain of unhealed attachment wounds."- Peter Levine, PhD, developer of Somatic Experiencing® and best-selling author of Waking the Tiger Help clients respond to stress as the adults they are today, not the wounded children they once were. Because early attachment ruptures undermine trust and fuel disconnection, adult children of relational trauma often resist the very vehicles that would help them heal - feeling, naming, and sharing the contents of their inner world with another human being. In Treating Adult Children of Relational Trauma, world-renowned psychologist, author, and psychodramatist Dr. Tian Dayton expertly weaves together the very best of what works in psychodrama, sociometrics, and addictions treatment to create her unique, experiential approach to treating the ever-nuanced impact of early relational trauma. Grounded in the principles of interpersonal neurobiology, polyvagal theory, and somatic experiencing, this treatment guide includes 85 structured interventions that innately "warm up" the limbic system and allow space for healing in real time. Using Dr. Dayton's easy-to-follow, step-by-step approach, clinicians can help clients: · Repair, rather than reenact, painful relational trauma dynamics in their lives · Experience the safety of healing through connection, movement, and engagement with others · Feel empowered to become active shareholders in their own recovery

The constant and growing use of the Binet-Simon intelligence scale in public schools, institutions for defectives, reform schools, juvenile courts, and police courts is sufficient evidence of the intrinsic worth of the method.It is generally recognized, however, that the serviceableness of the scale has hitherto been seriously limited, both by the lack of a sufficiently detailed guide and by a number of recognized imperfections in the scale itself. The Stanford revision and extension has been worked out for the purpose of correcting as many as possible of these imperfections, and it is here presented with a rather minute description of the method as a whole and of the individual tests.

A self-care guide to treating mental, emotional, and neurological conditions

A concise overview of trauma-related dissociation, issues around misdiagnosis, methods for assessment, and treatment planning.

This book argues that depression's most complex and severe manifestations arise from the dynamic relationship between personality and social factors.

The primary aim of this book is to bridge the gap between lab-based and clinical research by disseminating the latest interdisciplinary scientific findings on interpretational processing biases in the context of emotional psychopathology. It is designed to help the practitioner by drawing explicit links between the basic science and implications for clinical practice. This enables an enhanced interaction between science and practice, strengthening bi-directional translational links, and the potential to produce more meaningful and significant advances in the treatment of emotional psychopathology. This in turn will facilitate an innovative step-change in the area of both research and clinical practice. The book focuses on cognitive processing biases that are common across a wide range of psychological disorders, meaning that the conclusions drawn have relevance across the whole spectrum of psychopathology and will stimulate and inspire a broad range of discussions and future work. From the foreword by Nikolaos Kazantzis:"The practice of CBT is complex and requires a tailored approach. Every technique has a specific target but may be used for multiple purposes simultaneously in support of the client¿s therapeutic goals. The purpose of Dr. Woud¿s book is to elucidate the ways in which interpretational biases can be a focus of intervention for CBT therapists at all stages of professional development, from those undertaking training to master clinicians. Dr. Woud has succeeded admirably in this regard."

Exposing the psychology of rape, castration, power, authority, resistance, revenge, and the theology of religion and sexual subjugation, the novel leads the reader to the darker dungeons of human survival.The story is of Thoma Kunj, a condemned prisoner for eleven years, accused of rape and murder of a minor girl he had not once seen. He never knew he was the scapegoat for the son of a politician. Razak was different; Thoma Kunj met him in prison. When thirteen, Razak ran away from home in Kerala to Arabia, taken to a harem to serve concubines of Muhammad Akeem, a dates palm planter. A castrated Razak underwent hell and, after nineteen years, escaped from the seraglio and returned to Kerala. An impotent Razak married and soon murdered his wife and her paramour.The death penalty is an absurd reality created by men. But the most incredible absurdity is executions in the name of Allah.
