Download or read book The Thinking Doing and Believing Workbook written by Franklin Watkins and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-03-27 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the popular literature about depression, anxiety and stress says that these conditions are so complicated that we need experts to explain them to us. Some writers say they are diseases; we need medical experts to understand them. Some say they are “disorders” so that, in addition to medical experts we need behavioral experts to tell us how our brain works. Others say we need master teachers to explain the universal truths of Eastern religion before we can fully understand our troubling feelings. Is it really true that our feelings are so complicated that we must rely on scientists and philosophers to explain them to us? This workbook gives a clear answer: NO. “The Thinking, Doing and Believing Workbook” views depression, anxiety and stress as normal human feelings. The problem is not that we have these feelings, it is that we neglect the messages they convey. When we neglect them they disrupt our daily functioning and, if we persist in neglecting them, they can ruin the quality of our lives. The Developmental Approach presented in this workbook notes the many ways we actively contribute to our depressive, anxious and stressful feelings. This is important because if we participate in becoming distressed then we have the option of changing our behavior and replacing dysfunctional habits with more functional ones. This workbook is a map. If you use it, it may: • Help you understand what you have experienced and prepare you for what to expect. • Suggest skills you might want to use as you travel through strange terrain. • Find more creative ways to describe your emotional surroundings. • Orient you to the present moment. • Provide glimpses of recovery so that you will recognize it when you make progress along your way.

Download or read book Understanding Your Inner Child and Overcoming Addiction written by Eddie Capparucci and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-12 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of the Inner Child ModelTM for treating Addictive Behaviors, a trauma-based approach to the treatment of various addictions including alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, sex, spending, smoking, etc. Research indicates the onset of addiction originates in childhood trauma, inability to process emotional discomfort, and attachment disorders. This book addresses each of these issues to assist individuals in overcoming the drivers of addictive behaviors. But more importantly, provides solutions to help those who struggle to learn to manage their addiction. It contains numerous case studies in which readers will see themselves and their stories throughout the pages and assists readers in generating a comprehensive recovery roadmap that will provide real-world solutions to staying one step ahead of their addiction. While there have been books written about the Inner Child, few focus on how the Inner Child impacts addiction. This unique and interactive therapeutic approach empowers individuals by assisting them in understanding "why" they engage in addictive behaviors. This book is written for anyone struggling with behavioral/substance addiction, their loved ones, and clinicians working in the field of addiction treatment.

Download or read book Brain Disabling Treatments in Psychiatry written by Peter R. Breggin, MD and published by Springer Publishing Company. This book was released on 2007-12-17 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of Toxic Psychiatry and Talking Back to Prozac: "Peter Breggin is the conscience of American psychiatry. Once more he updates us on the real evidence with respect to the safety and effectiveness of specific psychiatric medications and ECT. This information is needed by all mental health professionals, as well as patients and families." --Bertram Karon, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Michigan State University, Author of The Psychotherapy of Schizophrenia "Nowhere does false medical thinking do more harm than in the modern psychiatric argument that mental illness is easily diagnosed and then cured by a side-effect free drug. Nowhere is the correct psychiatric thinking more evident than in the books by Peter Breggin."-- William Glasser, MD, psychiatrist, author of Reality Therapy In Brain Disabling Treatments in Psychiatry, renowned psychiatrist Peter R. Breggin, M.D., presents startling scientific research on the dangerous behavioral abnormalities and brain dysfunctions produced by the most widely used and newest psychiatric drugs such as Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Cymbalta, Effexor, Xanax, Ativan, Ritalin, Adderall, Concerta, Strattera, Risperdal, Zyprexa, Geodon, Abilify, lithium and Depakote. Many of Breggin's earlier findings have improved clinical practice, led to legal victories against drug companies, and resulted in FDA-mandated changes in what the manufacturers must admit about their drugs. Yet reliance on these drugs has continued to escalate in the last decade, and drug company interests have overwhelmed psychiatric practice. This greatly expanded second edition, supported by the latest evidence-based research, shows that psychiatric drugs achieve their primary or essential effect by causing brain dysfunction, and that they tend to do far more harm than good. New scientific analyses in this completely updated edition include: Chapters covering every new antidepressant and stimulant drug Twenty new guidelines for how to conduct non-drug therapy A chapter describing how to safely withdraw from psychiatric drugs A discussion of "medication spellbinding," explaining how patients fail to appreciate their drug-induced mental dysfunctions Documentation of how the drug companies control research and the flow of information about psychiatric treatments
Download or read book Psychology Psychotherapy Psychoanalysis and the Politics of Human Relationships written by Laurence Simon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2003-05-30 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a psychology of human personality and behavior created as a function of the politics practiced by the social structure in which they are based. The interaction of individuals with authoritarian/totalitarian, democratic/humanistic and anarchistic forms of politics is examined. The focus is on the particular type of politics practiced by psychiatry, psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis, with the conclusion that these enterprises operate more along authoritarian/totalitarian than democratic/humanistic lines. Simon argues that the mental health field, as currently dominated by psychiatric thinking entrenched in the myths of mental illness, is acting as a social control agency and a force in the development of a totalitarian state. This volume aso offers a view of how psychotherapy can be used as a means to fuel democratic states for individuals. Other works that focus on the politics of psychiatric services have also emerged since Thomas Szasz' work, The Myth of Mental Illness, but this is the first to demonstrate the dangers of the psychiatry and therapy industries from this variety of political, religious, and scientific perspectives.

Download or read book Emotional Growth written by Frank Watkins and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-12-04 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Emotional Growth” is a self-help workbook for people who want to enhance the quality of their emotional life by learning purposeful skills. It offers guidance so they can apply different skills to their particular issues. This workbook offers three additional features: 1. A common sense view that troubling feelings are an early warning system. They alert you to your unique way of interpreting difficult life experiences but only if you attend to them. 2. A realistic discussion of the long term benefits of sustained skill development, a topic not found in most self-help books. 3. Opportunities to respond to the many skill-development exercises found throughout the book. I have two goals for this book: 1. To empower readers by providing them with tools for preventing troubling feelings from growing 2. To show how understanding emotional growth offers hope, confidence and peace of mind.

Download or read book How to Become a Schizophrenic written by John Modrow and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "...demonstrates the physical, psychological, and social harm resulting from the label schizophrenic and the continuous need to reexamine the underpinnings and attitudes of psychiatry." -Booklist "Of all the books written about schizophrenia...none is more comprehensive, accurate, thorough, and clearer in style and statement than John Modrow's classic How to Become a Schizophrenic. Modrow, who is a recovered schizophrenic and is, perhaps, the unrecognized and unappreciated world's foremost authority on this disorder, has performed a truly invaluable service and has made the major contribution to our understanding of the causes and cures of this pseudodisease." -Robert A Baker, Ph.D., former chairman of the Department of Psychology, University of Kentucky; author of They Call It Hypnosis, Hidden Memories: Voices and Visions from Within and Mind Games: Are We Obsessed with Therapy? "One of the best things I've read on the subject...I am struck by the richness of the ideas and the research and the soundness of the conclusions." -Peter Breggin, M.D., founder and director of the International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology; author of Toxic Psychiatry and Talking Back to Prozac "...a very important contribution to the field." -Theodore Lidz, M.D., former chairman of the Department of Psychiatry, Yale University; author of The Origin and Treatment of Schizophrenic Disorders and Schizophrenia and the Family "...well researched and easily readable (a difficult combination to achieve)!" -Judi Chamberlin, author of On Our Own: Patient-Controlled Alternatives to the Mental Health System "...meticulously challenges all the major research that claims that schizophrenia is a biological disorder." -Ty C. Colbert, Ph.D., author of Broken Brains or Wounded Hearts: What Causes Mental Illness "Before reading the book, I was largely convinced that schizophrenia was primarily a brain disease. Modrow has forced me to take a second look, however, and reconsider the psychological causes of the condition." -The Vancouver Sun "...it is ennobling that despite bad and discouraging treatment he was able to understand himself and others, and share that acquired knowledge in an accurate and helpful way." -Bertram P. Karon, PhD., professor of clinical psychology, Michigan State University; author of Psychotherapy of Schizophrenia "...gives clear proof that there's real hope. Truly a remarkable book!" -Alan Caruba, Bookviews
