With an introduction by Andrew Solomon'It stands alone in the literature of manic depression for its bravery, brilliance and beauty.' Oliver SacksI was used to my mind being my best friend. Now, all of a sudden, my mind had turned on me: it mocked me for my vapid enthusiasms; it laughed at all of my foolish plans; it no longer found anything interesting or enjoyable or worthwhile.Dr Kay Redfield Jamison is one of the foremost authorities on manic depression (bipolar disorder) - and has experienced its terrors and cruel allure first-hand. While pursuing her career in medicine, she was affected by the same exhilarating highs and catastrophic lows that afflicted many of her patients. From her jubilant childhood to the disquiet that has dominated her adult life, she charts a journey through her own mind, and those of others.An Unquiet Mind is a definitive examination of manic depression from both sides: doctor and patient, the healer and the healed. A classic memoir of enormous candour and courage, it teems with the wit and wisdom of its creator.

In diesem Buch finden Sie realistischen Erfahrungsbeispiele von Menschen, die mit Schizophrenie leben und von deren Familienangehörigen, die damit konfrontiert sind. Und zwar von der Erkennung der ersten Symptome bis zur Behandlung von Schizophrenie, die eine Form der Psychose ist und bei der subjektive Aspekte, wie Halluzinationen und Wahnvorstellungen, das Verständnis der Realität verzerren.Auch finden Sie darin Strategien zur Bewältigung. Und da psychotische Zustände im Laufe der Zeit in ihrer Intensität schwanken, leben die Betroffenen buchstäblich zwischen Vernunft und Illusion.Zwischen Vernunft und Illusion: Entmystifizierung der Schizophrenie ist eine Einladung zu verstehen, was es bedeutet, an Schizophrenie zu erkranken und ein Leben lang damit zu leben. Und dies ist eine Einladung an alle, die in irgendeiner Weise von dieser Krankheit betroffen sind: diejenigen, die damit leben, Familienmitglieder, Freunde, Gesundheitsfachleute und alle, die einen nicht stigmatisierten Blick auf psychische Störungen und Menschen, die damit leben, haben wollen. "Angesichts einer Psychose sind Betroffene und deren Familien verloren und suchen nach alternativer oder spiritueller Hilfe, was den Beginn der Behandlung meist verzögert. Jorge, Cecília und Rodrigo hatten den Mut, sich einem schwierigen Thema zu stellen, und die wunderbare Idee, ein aufklärendes Buch über Schizophrenie zu schreiben. Das besondere Merkmal des Buches liegt darin, dass es die Erfahrungen der Erkrankten sowie der Familienangehörigen berücksichtigt und angesichts des aktuell im Leben aufgetretenen Erkrankungsereignisses geschrieben wurde". - Dr. Itiro Shirakawa, emeritierter Professor der Paulista Medical School der Bundesuniversität von São Paulo (UNIFESP/EPM), Brasilien.

Diese Monografie wagt den Versuch, die Durcharbeitung der frühen, prägenden Bindungserfahrungen für das Setting der tiefenpsychologisch fundierten Psychotherapie zu erschließen. Der Autor lässt uns teilhaben an seinen Überlegungen zu einem streng naturwissenschaftlich gedachten Aufbau unserer aller Entwicklungs- und Veränderungsbedingungen, vom einfachen Reflex bis zur komplexen Bindungsbeziehung. Aus dem Inhalt: Die auffälligen Überschneidungen der Bindungstheorie und der Selbstpsychologie bilden den Kern der grundlegenden theoretischen Weiterentwicklung des psychodynamischen Modells. Mit den Begrifflichkeiten der Bindungstheorie gelingt es dem Autor, die Modellvorstellungen der Selbstpsychologie um entscheidende Elemente zu ergänzen. Psychodynamische Therapien werden mit der TBA überschaubarer, leichter zu handhaben (mit konkreten Fragen zur Bindungsgeschichte) und wirkungsvoller. Mit einem Geleitwort von Klaus E. Grossmann. Über den Autor: Bernd Nockemann ist niedergelassener Arzt für Psychosomatische Medizin und Psychotherapie in Radevormwald. Sein Anliegen ist, die Methode der Tiefenpsychologischen Bindungsanalyse den psychodynamisch orientierten Kolleginnen und Kollegen auf einer theoretisch gut fundierten und verständlichen Basis nutzbar zu machen. In seiner Freizeit liebt Bernd Nockemann Sport und das Zusammensein mit seiner Familie und Freunden am selbstgebauten Pizzaofen sowie die Interpretation gepflegter Polyphonie, von klassischen Oratorien bis Comedian Harmonists.

Handedness is a multidimensional phenomenon co-determined by polygenetic and developmental aspects, multifactorial influences and in some cases, pathological impact. It is important for professionals working with children, including those who are still undecided about their writing hand, to assess, analyse and understand the complexity of handedness comprehensively to prevent problems related to switched or atypical handedness. Beyond Left and Right Handedness uses a practice-based approach to handedness and systematically integrates theory, research and practice. Part I, ¿Theory and Research,¿ critically evaluates and utilises the broad spectrum of the handedness literature as a theoretical basis for the development of handedness instruments. Part II, ¿Assessment and Analysis,¿ presents diagnostic and analytical instruments developed by the author based on numerous in-depth studies and extensive clinical practice over 20 years. These include the Handedness Profile, astandardised assessment of various handedness dimensions; and the Handedness Typology, an analytical framework to interpret different types of handedness. Part III, ¿Implications for Practice,¿ contains detailed case studies on assessment and treatment by professionals working with children presenting with unclear and/or atypical handedness. ¿This book provides the reader with a comprehensive and scholarly discussion of the topic, presenting a careful, in-depth description of all aspects of the topic and providing professionals with the necessary, evidence-based tools to address handedness in practice. It is an invaluable resource that is well situated in the latest evidence-based understanding of handedness and provides a comprehensive guide to addressing the important development of handedness.¿ - Prof. Dr. Helen Polatajko
