Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerosos estudios afirman que, cada año, alrededor de un cuarto de la población que vive en países occidentales sufrirá, al menos, un trastorno mental diagnosticable. ¿Dónde situar el origen del alarmante aumento de diagnósticos relacionados con la salud mental? ¿Es este fruto de los avances de la psiquiatría y sus progresos o, más bien, se debe a las condiciones de la vida contemporánea, que construye nuevas patologías sociales? Brinkmann presenta un análisis fascinante de una cultura, la nuestra, caracterizada por la obsesión de aplicar un lenguaje clínico en la relación con uno mismo y con el otro olvidando que las manifestaciones del sufrimiento no siempre caben en ese marco. Así, las preocupaciones existenciales, morales o políticas quedan reducidas a rígidos desórdenes psiquiátricos, a riesgo de perder de vista las fuerzas históricas y sociales que impulsan y afectan nuestras vidas. Contra la patologización de la vida cotidiana, este libro apuesta por la comprensión de la angustia y el sufrimiento desde el análisis filosófico, el lenguaje religioso, moral y político que, lejos del estrechamiento diagnóstico, representan otros recursos discursivos para entender las dolencias del vivir.

Download or read book Psychoanalysis Phenomenological Anthropology and Religion written by Antoon Vergote and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-10-16 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume we have brought together some of the most important contributions of Antoon Vergote to the field of what is now called 'clinical psychology of religion'. Most of these contributions were not published before in English. They cover the field in two ways. On the one hand we selected some articles in which Vergote reflects about the foundations of the (clinical) psychology of religion. This first part of the book is about the psychoanalytic and philosophical-anthropological approach of some major topics in the study of religion: e.g. mythical thinking and symbolisation, moral law and the idea of sin, religious experience... . In this part we also included a critical reflection about the classic psychoanalytic criticism of religion and about the epistemology and the limits of the psychology of religion. The second part, on the other hand, contains clinical-empirical and psycho-historical studies about concrete religious phenomena. The first section of this part is, amongst other topics, about the psychological approach of the person Jesus, about the psychological profile of the priest and, about some aspects of folk religiosity. The second section deals with problems in the field of mental health and religion: the differentiation of true and false mysticism, religion and psychopathology and a psychological approach of the experience of visions and apparitions.

Download or read book Psychohistory in Psychology of Religion written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychology of religion is one of the rare fields in psychology where an interdisciplinary approach has been preserved. Psychohistory especially, understood as the systematic application of psychological knowledge in explorations of the past, has enjoyed substantial attention. Traditionally, the emphasis in such studies has been on biographical research. This volume attempts to broaden the horizon and to include studies of phenomena as well on a group or subcultural level. The volume contains chapters on such subjects as apparitions of the Virgin Mary in Belgium, attitudes towards suicide in seventeenth-century Sweden, the pillarization of Dutch Calvinists. There are also studies of famous individuals such as Hitler, Stalin, Freud, Van Gogh and J.H. Newman. Among the contributors are well-known authors like Donald Capps, Michael P. Carroll, William W. Meissner, Ana-Marìa Rizzuto and Antoine Vergote.

Book excerpt: Cultural psychiatry is primarily concerned with the transcultural aspects of mental health related to human behavior, psychopathology and treatment. At a clinical level, cultural psychiatry aims to promote culturally relevant mental health care for patients of diverse ethnic or cultural backgrounds. From the standpoint of research, cultural psychiatry is interested in studying how ethnic or cultural factors may influence human behavior and psychopathology as well as the art of healing. On a theoretical level, cultural psychiatry aims to expand the knowledge and theories about mental health-related human behavior and mental problems by widening the sources of information and findings transculturally, and providing cross-cultural validation. This work represents the first comprehensive attempt to pull together the clinical, research and theoretical findings in a single volume. Key Features * Written by a nationally and internationally well-known author and scholar * The material focuses not only on the United States but also on various cultural settings around the world so that the subject matter can be examined broadly from universal as well as cross-cultural perspectives * Proper combination of clinical practicalities and conceptual discussion * Serves as a major source for use in the training of psychiatric residents and mental health personnel as well as students of behavior science in the areas of culture and mental health * A total of 50 chapters with detailed cross-referencing * Nearly 2000 references plus an appendix of almost 400 books * 130 tables and figures

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As society becomes more diverse and the world evolves into a global village, the need to integrate culture into medicine and psychiatry has become increasingly critical-challenging clinicians to provide the most effective psychiatric care to patients of different racial and ethnic backgrounds. The author of this groundbreaking guide presents an overview of culture in psychiatry using fascinating case studies to propose that ethnicity be used as a central organizing principle to integrate cultural factors in psychiatric care.

It highlights the technique of elucidating cultural information during a routine psychiatric interview and details cross-cultural psychopharmacology. It also focuses on the sociocultural factors that affect psychopharmacology and the issue of nonadherence and explores the cultural context of psychotherapy. Designed to fit into a lab-coat or jacket pocket, these convenient guides complement the more detailed information found in lengthier psychiatric texts. Packed with practical information and enhanced with illustrations, references, and a glossary, this Concise Guide will appeal to psychiatrists, psychiatric residents, and medical students working in treatment settings such as inpatient psychiatry units, outpatient clinics, consultation--liaison services, and private offices.

Download or read book Culture and Family written by Wen-Shing Tseng and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover brilliant insights on dealing with the cultural aspects of family mental health with this landmark guide. Culture and Family systematically reviews various dimensions of the family from a cross-cultural perspective, including system, development, behavior, and functioning. It then thoroughly examines the problems and dysfunctions that can occur in families of different cultural backgrounds, and finally proposes culturally appropriate assessments and treatments for resolving these family problems. Family counselors, therapists, and researchers who study the family will find practical suggestions on how to assess and evaluate the family with cultural considerations; clinical suggestions on providing culturally relevant, effective care of the family; and theoretical elaboration on the cultural implications of family therapy. Instead of focusing on families of a particular ethnic or cultural background, the book gives comprehensive coverage to subjects that related to cultural aspects of the family function, problems, and therapy. The authors'unique backgrounds, which include analysis of the cross-cultural aspects of human behavior, knowledge in family research, and clinical experience in family therapy, add immeasurably to this new book's important contribution.
Download or read book Cultural Competence in Trauma Therapy written by Laura S. Brown and published by American Psychological Association (APA). This book was released on 2008 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Few of the excellent models that have been developed for working with trauma survivors take into account the complexity of an individual's unique background and experience. Even treatment for members of "special groups" often ignores the individual's multilayered identities--which may include age, social class, ethnicity, religious faith, sexual orientation, and immigrant status--in favor of a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Drawing on her extensive clinical experience and the latest research, Laura Brown shows therapists how to become more sensitive to individual identity when working with clients who have suffered trauma. The author explains how culturally sensitive therapists draw upon multiple strategies for treating patients and are aware of both dominant group privilege and their own identity and culture. Of particular interest is a chapter on the role of systems of faith and meaning making in trauma therapy. The book has a practical focus and contains a variety of case studies illustrating how theoretical constructs can inform assessment and treatment. Given the ubiquity of trauma in its various forms, all therapists, from trainees to seasoned professionals, will find this volume educational and thought provoking"--Jacket.
