Psykoterapi

Junge Menschen stehen mit der Diagnose einer lebensbedrohlichen Erkrankung vor endlosen Fragen, Herausforderungen und Ängsten. Freundeskreis, Familie und medizinisches System versuchen in dieser Situation den Bedürfnissen und Nöten der Betroffenen adäquat zu begegnen. Doch das Netz dieser Unterstützung ist nicht für alle Erkrankten tragfähig und gut gemeinte Angebote werden nicht von allen Betroffenen angenommen. Dabei scheint der Umgang mit Nähe und Distanz sowohl in der Konzeption von Unterstützungssystemen als auch im zwischenmenschlichen Kontakt von Helfenden und Hilfeempfangenden eine maßgebliche Rolle zu spielen, ob ein Angebot von Menschen genutzt wird, oder nicht. Die vorliegende Arbeit greift Argumente und Erkenntnisse unterschiedlicher Disziplinen im Umgang mit Nähe und Distanz in der Versorgung bedürftiger Menschen auf und wendet diese auf die Versorgungsstruktur junger Menschen mit Krebs an. Am Robert-Bosch-Krankenhaus in Stuttgart wurde ein Modellprojekt "Diagnose Krebs - Mitten im Leben" entwickelt, das psychosoziale Unterstützung vor diesem Hintergrund neu konzipiert. Die Auswertung der aktuellen Nutzerdaten und externe Evaluationen zeigen auf, welche Möglichkeiten und Grenzen in einem veränderten Umgang mit Nähe und Distanz im medizinischen Versorgungssystem liegen. Inzwischen wurde diese Arbeitsweise unter dem Namen LINA (Lebensweltorientiert - Integrativ - Nah - Aufsuchend) im Robert-Bosch-Krankenhaus Stuttgart auch auf Menschen mit anderen lebensbedrohlichen Erkrankungen ausgeweitet. Darüber hinaus hat der Krebsverband Baden-Württemberg e.V. die Arbeitsweise LINA in sein Unterstützungsangebot aufgenommen. Weitere Informationen zu LINA werden unter lina-support.de publiziert.

The book examines the lived experiences of systemic family therapy educators. It addresses the issues of power and justice that they face in family therapy training programs, including their teaching experiences with students, interactions with faculty, and challenges within academic institutions. It describes how family therapy programs attempt to incorporate cultural awareness with mixed results (e.g., focusing only on how to work with diverse clients or not supporting faculty from across social locations). The book explores the ways in which family therapy educators with intersecting marginalized identities continue to be oppressed across different areas of academia.The book addresses issues of power that systemic family therapy educators face within the academia itself at three different levels:Personal interactions with students that create more complete understanding of issues of power.Professional interactions with colleagues that provide support and accountability.Political interventions aimed at changing the larger academic institution.Chapters focus on countering unjust practices in academic settings. Authors reflect on personal experiences across these three levels and, then, offer concrete suggestions for intervention. These include teaching experiences or meaningful interactions with students that support empowerment or increased awareness; relationships with colleagues that promote accountability and growth; and needed changes or challenges to the larger structure of academia.Social Justice and Systemic Family Therapy Training is an essential resource for clinicians, therapists, and practitioners as well as researchers, professors, and graduate students in family studies, clinical psychology, and public health as well as all interrelated disciplines.

Using a process-based approach to personalize CBT for better successPresents a unique dynamic approach to CBTShows how to implement this approachProvides downloadable toolsThe process-based approach to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a unique method for understanding psychological problems as complex networks of interacting processes. It allows therapists to grasp the individuality, complexity, and dynamics of psychological disorders - things that often get missed in diagnosis-oriented approaches. The authors, both experienced researchers and practitioners of this method, explore how understanding these complex networks enables therapists using CBT to focus on the core processes responsible for a person's suffering.First, the reader is shown how emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and somatic processes interact in maintaining maladaptive states and how this approach identifies the points at which therapeutic interventions can be applied to achieve maximum leverage. This is followed by guidance on implementing the approach in practice, including addressing diagnostic issues, to create an individual process-based model network for selecting the right evidence-based interventions. The process-based approach forms a connecting foundation that combines classical CBT with third-wave approaches (acceptance commitment therapy, schema therapy) and integrates helpful recent developments in psychotherapy research, such as evolutionary theories. Practitioners will find the downloadable tools in the appendix invaluable for their clinical practice. This book is of interest to clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, mental health practitioners, students, and trainees.

Jeg vil gerne give læseren et indblik i den udviklingsrejse, det har været for mig som terapeut at blive delagtiggjort i andre menneskers psykotiske univers de seneste 12 år. Jeg har erfaret meget om psykoser, menneskelivets psykologi, mit eget følelsesliv og ståsted gennem mine terapiforløb. Min terapeutiske proces har som udgangspunkt lært mig, at terapi ikke er et håndværk med en bestemt metode eller et særligt værktøj, men nærmere et kunstværk, som skabes og udvikles i samspil mellem terapeut og klient. Med case-eksempler undervejs har jeg forsøgt at beskrive, hvordan det psykotiske univers kan forstås og hvilken funktion, det kan have for den, som oplever det. Jeg har tilstræbt at anvende mine egne og patientens betragtninger i et indbyrdes samspil, som samtidig har rod i mit teoretiske grundfundament som terapeut.Ydermere ønsker jeg med bogen at sætte fokus på vigtigheden i terapeutens arbejde med sin egen personlige udviklingsproces. Jeg har erfaret nødvendigheden af min egen indsigt i mig selv. Kendskabet til mit eget følelsesliv og egne reaktionsmønstre har haft afgørende betydning for min evne til at rumme andres følelser og givet mig sindsro og tryghed i at tage med på rejsen i det psykotiske univers.

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.

La lotta contro l'ideologia psichiatrica ed il marketing delle aziende farmaceutiche è una lotta impari e destinata all'insuccesso, però mi sembra giusto provare lo stesso a seguire i dettami di un noto psichiatra, Viktor Emil Frankl, il fondatore della logoterapia, medico austriaco, che aveva conosciuto i campi di concentramento dove era stato internato per due anni e mezzo. Lui scrive:"... Non convince l'opinione che la psichiatria è in grado di risolvere tutti i problemi. Fino ad oggi noi psichiatri non conosciamo, ad esempio, quale sia la reale causa della schizofrenia e men che meno sappiamo come curarla. Gli psichiatri non sono né onniscienti, né onnipotenti. Un unico attributo divino si addice loro: quello di essere onnipresenti. Ad ogni simposio si trova uno psichiatra, lo si ascolta in ogni discussione e lo si incontra ad ogni convegno... Parlando ora seriamente, ritengo sia giunto il momento di smetterla nell'idolatrare la psichiatria: tanto meglio sarebbe intraprendere la sua umanizzazione."
