Download or read book CBT for Occupational Stress in Health Professionals written by Martin R. Bamber and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-11-22 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The costs of occupational stress in terms of sickness absence, ill-health-related retirement, litigation and lost productivity are increasing, putting strain on economies across the world. The fact that health care work is inherently more stressful than many other occupations makes it vital that the problem of occupational stress among health professionals is addressed. CBT for Occupational Stress in Health Professionals goes beyond simply defining the problem and fills a gap in the current literature by providing clear and concise individual treatment interventions. In three parts, the book covers: an overview of stress in the occupational context the standard CBT approach to assessment, formulation and treatment a new schema-focused approach to treating occupational stress. The schema-focused approach presented here provides powerful tools for treating a range of work-related problems for which standard CBT approaches are ineffective. Case studies are presented throughout the book to illustrate the therapeutic approaches described. This book will be of huge benefit to clinical and organizational psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health workers, counsellors and anyone else involved in treating occupational stress. It will also have much to offer those who manage people suffering from stress, human resource workers and those who are experiencing work-related stress.

Download or read book Managing Workplace Stress written by Koushiki Choudhury and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-23 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is focussed at those who are working or are about to enter the workplace. According to the book, workplace may be defined as "any environment enabling work to be done". This broader definition will make the workplace include any situation or place where people interact to exchange knowledge and information. The book discusses the various anxiety and stress inducing events that one faces in the workplace and the ways to cope with them, using Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), and Cognitive Therapy (CT). These techniques are the most widely used psychotherapeutic techniques and their effectiveness has been tested scientifically throughout the world. The book attempts to show as to how Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (umbrella term for CT and REBT) can be used to challenge and overcome workplace stress issues such as criticism, abuse, animosity, conflicts, disagreements, insubordination, organisational politics, favouritism, prejudices, discriminations, job uncertainties, extreme work pressures, excessive workloads, poor job designs, job mismatches, role conflicts, role ambiguities, cultural and ethical maladjustments, workplace boredom and anger problems by realistically and accurately interpreting events at the workplace. It includes plenty of real-life stress producing scenarios as examples and specific techniques to challenge them. Moreover, it tries to analyze and solve workplace stress issues in a very lucid, simple and direct manner so that it appeals to and is understood by a wide range of people. The book is based on research and studies in the area of internal marketing, psychological counselling and workplace stress, and is the product of years of surveys and professional interactions in the industry and the academia.

Download or read book Developing Resilience for Social Work Practice written by Louise Grant and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-07-06 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term 'resilience' refers to a person's capacity to handle difficulties, demands and pressure without experiencing negative effects. Traditionally, social work has focused on the nature and impact of resilience in children and adults who have experienced traumatic events, but it is increasingly recognised that social workers need to develop personal resilience to manage the emotional demands of the job effectively and sustainably. Developing Resilience for Social Work Practice provides social workers with a tool-box of strategies to help them enhance their resilience and protect their wellbeing. Written by experienced practitioners in the field, the book draws on key research to present a series of evidence-based interventions. These strategies are designed to help social work students and practitioners develop important qualities that underpin resilience, such as self-awareness, time management, relaxation skills and empathy as well enable them to gain support from their personal and professional networks. Grounded in both theory and practice, each chapter explores how the various resilience techniques can be applied to help social workers manage the complexities and challenges they face in everyday practice. The use of relevant and engaging case studies throughout is particularly useful in bringing the book to life for the reader.

Each chapter presents key elements of CBT in clear, accessible language, and includes client dialogues—including explanations of the therapist’s thinking process in relation to various interventions—and clinical examples. Practical exercises are incorporated throughout, enabling you to practice and consolidate your learning. In addition, each chapter mimics the structure of an actual CBT session.

Download or read book PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT BY COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY FOR HEMOPHILIA written by Edenilson Brandl and published by Edenilson Brandl. This book was released on with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living with a chronic condition like hemophilia is not just a physical challenge; it impacts every aspect of life—emotional, psychological, and social. Hemophilia, a genetic disorder affecting the blood’s ability to clot properly, requires individuals to navigate a complex web of medical treatments, lifestyle adjustments, and emotional hurdles. For many, the weight of managing a genetic condition can lead to feelings of isolation, anxiety, and depression. This book, "Psychological Support by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Hemophilia," was written with the purpose of providing a comprehensive approach to address not only the physical but also the psychological aspects of living with hemophilia. By merging insights from genetics, biology, and psychology, particularly through the lens of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), this book seeks to empower individuals with hemophilia to develop coping strategies, manage emotional distress, and lead fulfilling lives despite their condition. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has been widely recognized as an effective therapeutic approach for managing a variety of mental health challenges, and it offers valuable tools for those grappling with the emotional and psychological burdens of chronic illness. This book covers essential topics such as trauma, genetic counseling, independence in one’s genetic journey, and the practical application of CBT techniques. By addressing both the biological underpinnings of hemophilia and the cognitive and emotional toll it takes, this book aims to create a balanced and supportive guide for patients, caregivers, and mental health professionals alike. In the chapters that follow, we explore the intricate connection between mind and body, offering both theoretical knowledge and practical tools to manage the emotional impact of hemophilia. From learning how to manage pain and fatigue, to developing strategies for mental resilience and emotional regulation, this book is designed to be a go-to resource for anyone affected by hemophilia. It is my hope that this book provides a source of comfort, guidance, and empowerment to those living with hemophilia, helping them to navigate their journey with greater confidence, mental fortitude, and emotional well-being.
