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.

In diesem Praxisbuch wird der Bedeutsamkeit der Problem- und Zielanalyse und Zielformulierung in der Psychotherapie als Fundament einer Behandlung dadurch Rechnung getragen, dass sich alle Fallbeispiele auf diese Bereiche beziehen. Als passionierte Impact-Technik-Anwenderin beschreibt die Autorin jede eingesetzte Übung von der Idee bis zur Durchführung. Impact-Techniken sind multisensorische Elemente aus verschiedenen Therapierichtungen und dadurch kraftvolle und nachhaltige Arbeitsmethoden. Sie sind therapieschulenübergreifend, unabhängig vom Alter und von Beschwerdebildern einsetzbar. Attraktiv an diesen Techniken sind die Einfachheit der Durchführung und dass alle in der Umgebung zur Verfügung stehenden Gegenstände als Arbeitsmittel benutzt werden können. Durch die zahlreichen Anwendungsbeispiele von Impact-Techniken in diesem Buch soll der Transfer vom Gelesenen in den eigenen Behandlungsalltag unterstützt werden. Aus dem Inhalt: Trotz Bemühungen erreicht der Patient sein Ziel lange nicht, der Therapieverlauf stagniert trotz vorhandener hilfreicher Strategien. Verstrickungen sichtbar machen und auflösen, unklare Therapieziele konkretisieren, Therapiemotivation klären. Über die Autorin: Dipl.-Psych.

This book explores the various applications of systemic understanding in practice. Each chapter covers diverse working contexts and existential life dilemmas, tackling subjects such as: systemic work with individuals, single session family therapy, experiences of adult longing, the therapeutic relationship as a form of love, working systemically with experiences of marginalisation, cultural difference and diversity, the integration of recent neuroscience developments with systemic therapy with couples, the role of forgiveness and the spiritual dimension in therapy. Throughout, this book promotes hope by presenting new horizons and providing room for reflection on uncertainty, change, opportunities, inter-connections and differences. Theoretical expansion of these existential issues lies both at the heart of systemic work and on the leading edge of research and theory-practice linking, showing how the integration of research with new developments across the broader fieldsof psychotherapy and counselling can be held within a systemic relational umbrella.

The Co-Regulation Revolution, from master somatic psychotherapist and author Beth Dennison, is both co-regulation theory and applied psychology (simple practices to use right away). It is the latest work in her life-long study of shame, healthy relationships, embodiment, and clinical trauma work.In therapy and in life, we can rewire our nervous systems for mutual regulation (co-regulation). This is essential for authentic, embodied relating, healing PTSD, effective collaboration, and building our capacity for social justice.With The Co-Regulation Revolution and Body Up Co-Regulation, Beth gives practitioners clear maps and concrete tools to: ¿ Heal from shame and developmental trauma with safe, appropriate, embodied connection.¿ Build greater capacity for co-regulation and resilience at the nervous system level. ¿ Replace compulsive competition for status on the ladder of white supremacy culture with healthy, peer relationships. ¿ Prevent burnout - because co-regulation is only co-regulation when it is good for both people. Body Up Co-Regulation (BCR) draws from interpersonal neurobiology, Somatic Experiencing, trauma healing, Bodynamics, peer counseling, and yoga. The practices are therapeutic, diagnostic, and regulatory. What could be a better therapeutic outcome than teaching clients to have relationships that nourish both people? How much more will you thrive in your practice when your client relationships are good for you, too?Interpersonal neurobiology and polyvagal theory have brought profound insights into psychology and psychotherapy regarding how essential our relationships are, including our own somatic body/mind relationship. As therapists, social workers, leaders, and teachers - we are positioned to help people build healthy, collaborative relationships that support social justice work and help heal attachment issues and complex PTSD. Clinical practitioners who train in Body Up Co-regulation find the work to be: "simple and powerful," "brilliant and uplifting," "invaluable for authentic communication," "safe and non-judgmental," and "incredibly helpful in a variety of real-life situations."Reading this book can orient you to a whole new way of relating and doing therapy. Practicing the exercises will change your patterns of relating. Training in BCR is a deep dive into the subtle and potent world of working nervous system to nervous system.In BCR practice, one person leads, and one mirrors, in a simple 1-2-minute exercise. They speak about their experience and then switch roles. This cultivates our capacity for peer relating and embodiment in relational space. It sounds simple, yet the layers of somatic learning and mutual regulation pave the way for a Co-Regulation Revolution - a cumulative, profound change in how we live and relate, together.
