Psykoterapi

Medical doctor, naturopath, and positive psychotherapist Richard Werringloer targets his patients' physical and emotional pain with an array of holistic, psychosomatic tools. Central among them is Positive Psychotherapy (PPT), a cross-cultural approach developed by his mentor, Professor Dr. Nossrat Peseschkian in the 1960s, to help patients overcome their mental obstacles and find balance and wholeness in their lives again. Living a Fulfilled Life goes beyond PPT in theory and practice, encompassing many other therapeutic schools that complement Dr. Peseschkian's teachings, making a more profound understanding of PPT and ourselves possible.This encyclopedic book has evolved from Dr. Werringloer's twenty-five years of medical and psychotherapeutic studies and therapy. It is directed to all who are interested in discovering themselves and undertaking a perpetual voyage of self-development. It invites us to reflect on who we are, our current situation, and how we can search for new ways to flourish

This book shows how psychological and social interventions can help people with psychosis. It brings together both theoretical chapters that contribute to the reconceptualization of psychosis and clinical cases illustrating how contemporary psychotherapeutic intervention models can be applied in the treatment of this mental health condition, with reflections, strategies and practical guidelines demonstrating how these models can inform professional practice in mental healthcare. Chapters brought together in this volume aim to reflect a paradigm shift in psychosis care. They present person-centered models that lead to a way of seeing, understanding and treating psychosis that is very different from the traditional biomedical model. Current authors and approaches are revolutionizing an outdated model trapped in purely pharmacological actions and tautological explanations of a biological nature, where symptom control is the basic and fundamental form of approach, and in which psychotherapeutic actions take second place as subsidiary to the former. Approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Acceptance and Recovery Therapy by Levels, Open Dialogue, Compassion-Centered Therapy or the Hearing Voices movement, to name but a few of those presented in this book, represent a journey of self-knowledge and learning for those recovering from psychosis, and have an intense transformative potential for the therapeutic team.The fundamental principle that guides this book is to share models belonging to psychology that aim at personal development while respecting the needs, values and goals of each person, and that can be adopted by any professional or student of clinical psychology, psychiatry, nursing, social work or any other discipline searching for more humanistic approaches to treat psychosis.

Bringing Life to Psychology by Nancy Dudley and Monica BaehrMovies as Mirrors: Is the purpose of movies simply to entertain and preoccupy our time with passive viewing? The authors of this book suggest that there is much more happening in our unconscious mind. As university instructors, they developed strategies for using films to broaden their students' perspectives on the human journey by sharing and writing about movie characters and their stories. As a guide, the authors provided different theories on the human condition as frameworks for their assessments of the film and its personal impact on them. With these summaries of such a broad number of perspectives on the human condition, it is hoped that the reader, too, will perceive psychology as well as movies in a different light. The depth and very personal responses of the students, both graduate and undergraduate, were so full of meaning for the authors that they inspired this book."Watching films helps me to apply the theories we learn to real life as opposed to memorizing." (Student)After reading Bringing Life to Psychology: Movies as Mirrors, you may never view movies the same way again. Dr. Nancy Dudley is a Senior Instructor Emerita, Werklund School of Education, University of Calgary. Her background includes nursing, social work, and educational psychology, areas in which she has held various positions over the last 60 years, both in practice and in university teaching. Dr. Monica Baehr spent more than 40 years as a professional psychologist, along the way receiving her doctorate in Applied Psychology at the University of Calgary. She started in clinical psychology and gradually shifted to university teaching, including more than thirty years at Mount Royal University, Calgary.

Der Titel Eudämonie verspricht Schönes,Angenehmes, Erbauliches, und alles das will und soll dieses Buch auch leisten. Wervon uns wünschte sich nicht ein gutes und gelingendes Leben, ohne allerdings somir nichts, dir nichts sagen zu können, woraus denn dieses Gute, Schöne undWahre besteht. Wer von uns kennt nicht den intensiven Wunsch nach Glück undZufriedenheit, und wem begegneten bei seiner oder ihrer Suche nach Glück und Zufriedenheitaber nicht schon Hürden und Herausforderungen aller Art, die uns bisweilen rat-und hilflos haben werden lassen? Allein schon aufgrund dieser persönlichen Kalamitäten,die jeder von uns oftmals zu gewärtigen hat, scheint es gerechtfertigt, überEudämonie und damit über die Möglichkeiten eines gelingenden Lebensnachzudenken.

Feeling restricted by her office-bound clinical practice, licensed clinical social worker Jen Udler decided to take therapy outdoors. Walking on local nature trails with her clients proved to be the breakthrough Jen was looking for. The calming presence of nature provided a rich and varied backdrop for every therapy session, offering natural metaphors for each client's experience, while the rhythmic movement cultivated deeper connections between mind and body. Walking side by side also deepened the interactions between Jen and her clients, empowering her to gently guide them forward on their path through one season and into the next. In Walk and Talk Therapy: A Clinician's Guide to Incorporating Movement and Nature into Your Practice, Jen presents the many benefits of an outdoor, movement-based psychotherapy practice and provides tools for clinicians to develop their own version, no matter where or with whom they practice.

Humans in the Extreme is a bracing and vital read and the first of its kind to expose the beguiling, yet deeply disturbing, fascination we have with the extreme. Simply put, this book will open the reader's eyes to the patent compulsion we have for the extreme, our weakness to resist it and the consequences of this on humanity.Author and psychotherapist, JA Hind, takes the reader into an unflinching no-holds barred discussion of the depraved aspects of our human nature, the perplexing reasons that drive us to do the terrible things we do and the repercussions this is having on our capacity to feel - even for a second. Without distorting the truth of the sciences, Humans in the Extreme profoundly examines the systems and processes that lead so-called ordinary people to commit appalling acts of violence or stand by and do nothing to stop them. By unpicking the origins and revelations of extreme, as it has unfolded through the passage of time, this book encourages each of us to question our own affiliation with the extreme and the fundamental beliefs and constructs of the world that we have come to know.Humans in the Extreme coaxes the reader into a thought-provoking discourse about our obsession with the extreme, the chiselling away of our humanity and the ultimate death of our conscience - if we don't take heed now. Having garnered information from scientists, biologists, historians and psychologists alike, Humans in the Extreme crosses the divide between science and human emotion, making it not only a compelling read but also accessible to a wide audience of people.

This book highlights common similarities between the various schools of psychotherapy. It provides psychotherapists with the underlying neurophysiological, developmental psychological and relationship-oriented matrix (basic needs and their regulation, deficits, trauma and conflict processing patterns, including accompanying exercises) as well as opportunities for healing correction and stabilisation - and the ways in which to apply these methods in a therapeutically mindful way for the benefit of the patient. The new university-based psychotherapy training covers the four fundamental schools of psychotherapy, i.e. the previous standard approaches plus the systemic and humanistic ones. Focusing on the common ground builds bridges of understanding and encourages collaboration.
