Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes the reader through the author’s personal experiences in psychotherapy with a variety of therapists and approaches. She starts with her Danbury psychiatrist, an analyst, describing all her thoughts and feelings and fantasies and ends that process in a psychotic state. Prior to this experience, although in therapy in her twenties, she had never been on medication. After this therapy with this analytically oriented psychiatrist, she became disorganized, being treated with a variety of medications which only added to her problems and a devastating affect on her psyche and self-esteem. The cause of her deterioration was the fact that the therapist lost control and got involved with Jean emotionally, so that Jean could never figure out what was real, her feelings or the therapist’s. she finally escaped from this therapy, and she discusses the other work she did with a variety of therapists. She describes her life as a victim of sexual abuse, family relationships and how she eventually overcome her pain and suffering. Jean emerged as a strong, effective and compassionate therapist working with abused women and she tells her poignant story of survival. She coined the word “Musband”, a mother-husband, a fantasy person that motivated part of her life. The book also talks to the issue of the dangers of the psychotherapy process and what to be aware of.

Have you ever wanted something, pursued it (albeit not quite as gracefully as you would’ve hoped), failed, and then genuinely asked yourself the question, “Am I delusional?” Well, that’s how I began penning this magnum opus. Like the Buddhist’s have their Tripitaka, you have…moi. And my therapist, though it’s unlikely she’ll admit this in public. On the receiving end of a ghosting session? Needing a way to leave a work function without looking like a buzzkill? Having a hard time developing amnesia about your last relationship? Fear not, as I cover everything from circumstantial etiquette to blissful delusion when necessary. So, grab a pen, a box of tissues, a glass of wine, and your bestie, because sh*t is about to get real. And remember, be yourself, be kind, and all that jazz, unless you’re a Susan*. If that’s the case, try to be literally anyone else. Ugh, my therapist hates that I wrote that. *Susan: Noun and verb. Unpleasant, annoying, and delusional, the Susan is somebody who is literally awful in every way, is liked by no one, but has no clue, no matter how many open clues you give her. If you roll your eyes at this, you’re probably a Susan. Uses: Susaning, Susanism.

Download or read book Manipulative approaches to human brain dynamics written by Keiichi Kitajo and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2015-05-29 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this EBook, we highlight how newly emerging techniques for non-invasive manipulation of the human brain, combined with simultaneous recordings of neural activity, contribute to the understanding of brain functions and neural dynamics in humans. A growing body of evidence indicates that the neural dynamics (e.g., oscillations, synchrony) are important in mediating information processing and networking for various functions in the human brain. Most of previous studies on human brain dynamics, however, show correlative relationships between brain functions and patterns of neural dynamics measured by imaging methods such as electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). In contrast, manipulative approaches by non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) have been developed and extensively used. These approaches include transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial electric stimulation (tES) such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), alternating current stimulation (tACS), and random noise stimulation (tRNS), which can directly manipulate neural dynamics in the intact human brain. Although the neural-correlate approach is a strong tool, we think that manipulative approaches have far greater potential to show causal roles of neural dynamics in human brain functions. There have been technical challenges with using manipulative methods together with imaging methods. However, thanks to recent technical developments, it has become possible to use combined methods such as TMS–EEG coregistration. We can now directly measure and manipulate neural dynamics and analyze functional consequences to show causal roles of neural dynamics in various brain functions. Moreover, these combined methods can probe brain excitability, plasticity and cortical networking associated with information processing in the intact human brain. The contributors to this EBook have succeeded in showcasing cutting-edge studies and demonstrate the huge impact of their approaches on many areas in human neuroscience and clinical applications.
Download or read book Psychological Type Therapy written by Brian A. Gerrard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-06-07 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses psychological type as a model for organizing mental health interventions, including assessing how a client’s personality is affected within a specific relationship using the Psychological Type Relationship Inventory and the Psychological Type Relationship Scale. By examining each psychological type characteristic, the book demonstrates how to help a client overcome a psychological type challenge by using techniques drawn from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and family therapy approaches. Over 20 techniques are described in explicit how-to format and chapters show the reader how to assess both positive personality characteristics as well as negative or challenging personality characteristics in developing therapy plans. The interdisciplinary nature of the text benefits a wide spectrum of mental health practitioners who are interested in incorporating personality into their case conceptualizations to develop more effective interventions in relationship therapy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tory Sileo is candid and honest in sharing her fears and horrors as a result of the progression of her life-sentence disease. Her good days and bad days, her falls and inability to get up again are sincere and frank. As a disabled person with walking difficulties, she was astonished to discover that the handicapped lavatory stall equipped with grab bars in public venues were only provided in one stall and that stall was the last in the row of stalls. How is the last one, another five-ten feet away from the entry door, designed for patrons with disabilities of any sort? This journal is the first in a series of discoveries that this author encounters as she travels through life as a handicapped person. Her straightforward sense of writing is sincere and direct with a fresh approach that captures the reader from the very beginning. A portion of the proceeds of this and future pieces of work by this author will be donated to the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation.
