Download or read book C mo elegir el mejor tratamiento psicol gico written by Stephen N Haynes and published by Ediciones Pirámide. This book was released on 2014-05-27 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una de las tareas más desafiantes que afrontan todos los clínicos (psicólogos, psiquiatras, enfermeros y demás trabajadores de la salud mental) es la de diseñar el mejor plan de intervención posible. Organizar una intervención para personas con problemas de comportamiento es difícil, y seleccionar la estrategia de intervención que se espera que obtenga un beneficio máximo para un paciente particular no es una labor fácil. La formulación de casos clínicos es una integración de la información recogida durante la evaluación del paciente y de los juicios que sobre ella se forma el terapeuta con el objetivo de elegir la mejor intervención posible. En esta obra se hace una presentación, paso a paso, de la formulación de casos clínicos, señalando qué variables evaluar y con qué o cómo hacerlo, cómo extraer inferencias, establecer juicios bien fundamentados y realizar su representación gráfica de forma útil con el objetivo de que tanto el clínico como el paciente logren comprender qué le sucede a este último, por qué le ocurre y qué habría que hacer para solucionar su problema y mejorar su calidad de vida. Esta representación gráfica, por ser altamente intuitiva y comprensible, puede contribuir a que el paciente vea con claridad lo que hay que hacer en terapia y por qué conviene hacerlo, favoreciéndose, por tanto, que aumente su motivación y su colaboración. Este manual no sólo ayudará al clínico a elegir el mejor tratamiento entre los posibles para su paciente, si no también a idear cómo aplicarlo. Aunque se expone con especial detenimiento la formulación de casos clínicos en terapia de conducta, no cabe duda de que también resultará de utilidad a los profesionales clínicos que siguen otras corrientes teóricas, ya que, en última instancia, en todas ellas lo que se pretende con la formulación clínica del caso es averiguar cuál es el mejor tratamiento que se puede emplear con cada paciente concreto y cómo conviene aplicarlo dadas sus circunstancias particulares.
Download or read book Ethics for Behavior Analysts written by Jon Bailey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-04-21 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behavior analysis, a rapidly growing profession, began with the use and application of conditioning and learning techniques to modify the behavior of children or adults presenting severe management problems, often because of developmental disabilities. Now behavior analysts work in a variety of settings, from clinics and schools to workplaces. Especially since their practice often involves aversive stimuli or punishment, they confront many special ethical challenges. Recently, the Behavior Analysis Certification Board codified a set of ten fundamental ethical guidelines to be followed by all behavior analysts and understood by all students and trainees seeking certification. This book shows readers how to follow the BACB guidelines in action. The authors first describe core ethical principles and then explain each guideline in detail, in easily comprehensible, everyday language. The text is richly illuminated by more than a hundred vivid case scenarios about which the authors pose, and later answer questions for readers. Useful appendices include the BACB Guidelines, an index to them, practice scenarios, and suggested further reading. Practitioners, instructors, supervisors, students, and trainees alike will welcome this invaluable new aid to professional development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wherever people are working, there is some type of stress—and where there is stress, there is the risk of burnout. It is widespread, the subject of numerous studies in the U.S. and abroad. It is also costly, both to individuals in the form of sick days, lost wages, and emotional exhaustion, and to the workplace in terms of the bottom line. But as we are now beginning to understand, burnout is also preventable. Burnout for Experts brings multifaceted analysis to a multilayered problem, offering comprehensive discussion of contributing factors, classic and less widely perceived markers of burnout, coping strategies, and treatment methods. International perspectives consider phase models of burnout and differentiate between burnout and related physical and mental health conditions. By focusing on specific job and life variables including workplace culture and gender aspects, contributors give professionals ample means for recognizing burnout as well as its warning signs. Chapters on prevention and intervention detail effective programs that can be implemented at the individual and organizational levels. Included in the coverage: · History of burnout: a phenomenon. · Personal and external factors contributing to burnout. · Depression and burnout · Assessment tools and methods. · The role of communication in burnout prevention. · Active coping and other intervention strategies. Skillfully balancing scholarship and accessibility, Burnout for Experts is a go-to resource for health psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, and organizational, industrial, and clinical psychologists.

Download or read book Rethinking Sport and Exercise Psychology Research written by Peter Hassmén and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive historical account of the evolution of Sport and Exercise Psychology research, charting the progression of the field from the early days when well-controlled experimental research was the standard, to the subsequent paradigm war between positivism, post-positivism and constructivism. The book challenges current thinking and makes a plea for a move towards a future in which the accumulation of knowledge is at the core of Sport and Exercise research, rather than simply methods and measurements. The result is a critique not only of exercise and sport psychology, but of psychological research methods more broadly. It will be of great interest to researchers and students working in Sport Science, Research Methods, and Psychology.
