Clients enter therapy grappling with a range of difficulties. They don't speak in diagnostic terms, but instead focus on the everyday problems that confront them. Their struggles may include isolation, loneliness, anxiety, guilt and regret, and problems making decisions in a world that offers seemingly endless choice. In contrast, the cognitive-behavior therapist is trained in the language of conditioning and extinction, avoidance and safety behaviors, behavioral activation and attentional biases. This book explores the ideas of the existentialist philosophers as a bridge between the suffering client and technically trained clinician. The volume is not a rejection of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), but seeks to place CBT in the broader context of the most popular philosophic tradition of the 19th and 20th centuries. Therapists versed in existentialism argue that the individual's starting point is characterized by a sense of disorientation in the face of an apparently meaningless and absurd world. Each individual must become solely responsible for giving meaning to life and living it passionately and authentically. Each of us must confront the 'Big 5' existential issues of death, isolation, identity, freedom and meaning and find our solutions to these problems. The present volume explores each of these existential themes in turn. Each section opens with a theoretical chapter describing the relevant existential dilemma and its impact on human experience. The second chapter in each section explores its relationship to mental health disorders and psychopathology. The third chapter in each section explores the evidence for treating the existential issue from a CBT framework. This book will be of value to those interested in CBT, philosophy and mental health, and will appeal to psychotherapists, clinical psychologists and psychiatrists.

Some individuals with intellectual disabilities experience pervasive patterns of feeling and thinking that affect the way they relate to others and understand themselves - sometimes so overwhelmingly that they find it difficult to navigate the daily challenges of life. These people can be very complex to support and few learning disability-trained staff have the skills to address their needs. This new and revised edition includes updated content to reflect developments over the last decade towards trauma-informed care, neurodiversity awareness and considering the term 'personality disorder'. Section one will focus on diagnosis, psychologically-informed approaches, how to provide positive support and facilitate collaborative working relationships between teams and services. Section two will provide practical, proven strategies for addressing specific issues such as suicidal behaviour, emotional distress and regulating impulses, and for promoting wellbeing for staff and those they care for.

"An intimate, compassionate, and expansive portrait of Borderline Personality Disorder that rejects the conventional wisdom that the condition is untreatable and those diagnosed with it are 'difficult,' told by a psychologist who specializes in BPD"

Soudain, vous pouvez voir ce qui se passe à l'intérieur des gens : vous pouvez voir ce qui les motive et ce qui compte pour eux, et comment les influencer et communiquer avec eux avec succès.Vous disposez enfin d'une carte de la personnalité simple, claire et réaliste qui vous donne la clé pour comprendre les gens et interagir avec eux avec succès. Les 5 Schémas de Personnalité est un livre qui peut changer votre vie."C'est l'un des livres de psychologie populaire les plus utiles que j'aie jamais vus. . . . Il devrait devenir un classique." --- Stephen M. Johnson, auteur de Styles de Caractère et de Transformation Caractérologique.Une grande partie de la souffrance humaine n'est pas nécessaire. Elle est créée par de vieilles stratégies de sécurité qui nous ont aidées à survivre aux traumatismes de notre enfance, mais qui sont ensuite restées bloquées dans notre corps. Aujourd'hui, elles contrôlent si profondément nos pensées, nos sentiments et nos actions qu'elles sont devenues une prison invisible. Nous vivons enfermés dans cette prison, répétant sans cesse les mêmes erreurs.Lorsque nous essayons de comprendre la psychologie du succès et de réussir nous-mêmes, il ne suffit pas d'étudier les habitudes des personnes qui réussissent. Pour créer une véritable transformation de soi, nous devons dissoudre les obstacles à la réussite enfouis en nous. Pour reprendre le contrôle de notre vie, nous devons découvrir les anciennes stratégies de sécurité et les schémas qui continuent à diriger notre vie afin de pouvoir les guérir et les transformer.Souvent, ces schémas nous ont façonnés si profondément que nous pensons que c'est ce que nous sommes. Mais en fait, ils recouvrent notre vrai moi et l'empêchent de rayonner dans le monde. Enfin, nous avons une carte de ces schémas, une carte qui vous aidera à : -- découvrir comment vous êtes resté bloqué et comment vous libérer -- guérir vos blessures noyaux -- apprendre les compétences qui vous ont manqué -- communiquer efficacement avec les autres -- développer votre maturité émotionnelleDe nombreux lecteurs cherchant à s'améliorer ont découvert que cette carte de la personnalité leur est encore plus utile que les types de personnalité de l'Ennéagramme et de Myers-Briggs, parce que ces cartes là se concentrent sur la surface du corps, sur vos comportements, alors que cette carte part du noyau du corps et de la façon dont le flux de votre énergie vitale s'est déformé. Et cette distorsion du flux d'énergie vitale à travers le corps est à l'origine d'une grande partie de la souffrance et des conflits que nous connaissons dans les relations interpersonnelles. Comprendre ces différences augmentera considérablement votre empathie, votre compassion et vos compétences relationnelles.Les lecteurs disent :"Ce livre a changé ma vie". "Ce livre est incroyable"."Ce livre brillant a changé la donne dans ma vie"."Comprendre les gens de cette façon, c'est comme avoir une vision à rayons X" !

"From Instagram's snarkiest Enneagram expert comes a hilarious and insightful book that shows how embracing our shadow side is our best path toward greater self-awareness and compassion. Most Enneagram books today focus on stroking ego rather than challenging it. These pages are filled with a no-frills, hilarious reckoning with the ways we cope when facing stress or fear--aka our shadow sides--while unlocking the life-changing wisdom of the Enneagram. The Unfiltered Enneagram offers 'practical strategies for liberating yourself from your own garbage,' writes Elizabeth Orr, creator of the viral Rude Ass Enneagram account, public practitioner of Enneagram, and associate chaplain at Wake Forest University. She believes that when we learn from both our healthy and shadow sides, we can jumpstart genuine, practical growth and actually begin to love the whole of ourselves. Readers will discover how courageously and comically acknowledging the worst attributes of their Enneagram type can surprisingly bring out the best in them. Filled with laugh-out-loud descriptions, sobering truths, and inspiring prompts, each chapter is an under-the-rug look at the nine Enneagram Types: Type One - R Is for Reformer (and Resentment); Type Two - Self-Sacrifice with Some Serious Strings Attached; Type Three - Hall of Mirrors in a House of Cards; Type Four - Feelin' Misunderstood (and I'm Going to Make it Your Problem); Type Five - When Intellectual Maximalism meets Emotional Minimalism; Type Six - Who Needs Trust When I've Got Projection?; Type Seven - The Paradoxical Paralysis of Making Too Many Awesome Plans; Type Eight - Large, in Charge, and Just This Side of Belligerent; Type Nine - Comfortably Numb (and Impressively Stubborn). Insightful for long-time enthusiasts, pragmatic for newer fans, and hilarious and accessible to all, The Unfiltered Enneagram shines a generous light on the good, the bad and the ugly side of you -inviting you to see that the only way to find self-compassion is to embrace wholeness"

This book is the result of a collaboration between a human editor and an artificial intelligence algorithm to create a machine-generated literature overview of research articles analyzing the mediating role of social media on the psychological wellbeing of youth. It¿s a new publication format in which state-of-the-art computer algorithms are applied to select the most relevant articles published in Springer Nature journals and create machine-generated literature reviews by arranging the selected articles in a topical order and creating short summaries of these articles.In this volume, a human counsellor psychologist used the algorithm to explore articles that present results of research about the impacts of social media on the psychological wellbeing of youth. The Internet has always been popular among youth, but during the pandemic it has attracted even more attention since many aspects of life further migrated to the digital world, thus adding substantially to Internet¿sever-increasing popularity. Today, youth spend a majority portion of their time on the Internet and an increasing amount on social media. In such digitally dependent times, this book attempts to provide insights on the positive and negative impact of the Internet and social media on youth mental health, and also provides specific observations on personality traits.

Brenda Draney's work explores the complex nature of intimacy.Referencing her own memories and experiences, theCanadian artist examines the layered meanings embeddedin everyday motifs and situations. The cumulative portraitthat emerges references a collective self that encompassesnot only her own experience but that of past generationsand current community members. However, instead ofsimply reproducing these elements, she is more interestedin addressing how their meanings can shift whenfiltered through individual interpretation. By deliberatelyleaving blank spaces in her paintings, Draney leaves roomfor viewers to place their own narrative within her imaginaryspaces and to connect to the wide range of emotionsthe artist subtly invokes.This richly illustrated catalogue-published in conjunctionwith Draney's solo exhibition organized by The PowerPlant Art Gallery in Toronto-features a selection of existingand newly commissioned works and original contributionsfrom Canadian scholars and writers.BRENDA DRANEY (*1976, Sawridge First Nation, Treaty 8, with a strong connection to Slave Lake, Alberta, Canada) has been featured in various exhibitions. She is based in Edmonton, Alberta.

Der in diesem Buch vorgestellte Ansatz - " Together We Are Strong" bzw. T-WAS - ist eine Form der präventiven Gruppenarbeit mit benachteiligten Kindern zur Stärkung ihrer Resilienz. Die Methoden beruhen primär auf der Entwicklung von Objektbeziehungen, indem die Kinder in fortlaufenden kreativen Spielen neue Erfahrungen mit sich selbst im Verhältnis zu anderen machen. Dabei werden kreative Spiele, wie sie im pädagogischen Bereich üblich und auf Teamarbeit ausgerichtet sind, mit therapeutischen Elementen aus der Gestalttherapie und der ontologischen Psychoanalyse ergänzt, um die Dimensionen der Ich-Stärkung und der Aggressionsbewältigung zu erarbeiten. Besonders hervorgehoben wird die Rolle des Gruppenleiters als interdisziplinärer Paarleitung, der das Spannungsfeld ihrer persönlichen Unterschiede bewusst nutzt, um die Gruppe in Bewegung zu bringen. T-WAS wurde in drei verschiedenen Flüchtlingsunterkünften auf der Basis von wöchentlichen 90-minütigen Gruppeninterventionen durchgeführt. Mehr als 70 Kinder haben daran teilgenommen und einen stabilen Zustand des emotionalen Wohlbefindens erreicht, während sich ihre sozialen und schulischen Leistungen verbessert haben.

"A paradigm-shifting book looking at the pervasive influence of silence and how we can begin to dismantle it in order to find our voices at home and at work Having a seat at the table doesn't mean that your voice is actually welcome. Knowing something is wrong doesn't mean it's easy to speak up. In fact, there are incentives for many of us to stay silent. Why speak up if you know that it won't be received well, and in fact, often makes things worse? In Unlearning Silence, Hering explores how we've learned to be silent, how we've benefited from silence, how we've silenced other people-and how we might choose another way. She teaches how to recognize and unlearn unconscious patterns so we can make more intentional choices about how we want to show up in at home and at work. Only by unlearning silence can we more fully unleash talent, speak our minds, and be more complete versions of ourselves... and help other people do the same. With compassion, clarity, and understanding, Hering guides readers through real-life examples and offers a concrete road map for doing this vital and challenging work"--

Jesus warned of wolves carefully disguised as shepherds coming into local churches as pastors. It is the perfect disguise for a predator to access and devour the flock one lamb at a time while proclaiming himself as their protector and guardian. The result is spiritual devastation, broken congregations, and even destroyed churches. Darrell Puls attests from experience that the enemy has infiltrated the North American church through pastors with dangerously high levels of narcissism. These pastors hide under layers of the sacred, but it is always an illusion of smoke and mirrors.Puls has experienced this reality from the inside as a staff pastor under a narcissist, and from the outside as a church consultant. He carefully unpacks toxic narcissism in everyday terms, and lets the victims tell their own stories. Let Us Prey, Revised Edition is as real as it gets.
