This book was released on 2017-02-03 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Han pasado m�s de cien a�os desde que Freud ofreciera su primera teor�a para entender los problemas psicol�gicos. Desde entonces, una infinidad de m�dicos, fil�sofos y psic�logos han tratado de ofrecer modelos para entender y atender el malestar psicol�gico. Teor�as para intentar explicar la esencia �ltima de lo humano (la personalidad), para intentar comprender la naturaleza de los problemas psicol�gicos, y para - lo m�s importante - ayudar a resolverlos.En la historia de la psicoterapia se constatan m�s de 500 modelos diferentes, aunque la mayor�a ya est�n en completo desuso. En este libro se revisan poco m�s de una docena de ellos, los que han sobrevivido a la criba del tiempo. En medicina cuando aparece un nuevo medicamento los anteriores se desechan poco a poco. En psicoterapia el proceso es diferente, nuevos y viejos tratamientos conviven. Tal vez porque nunca ha estado demasiado claro que los nuevos superen a los viejos, tal vez porque en cada uno de esos modelos hay ideas �tiles que sirven para que un terapeuta concreto ayude a una persona determinada que est� sufriendo.La psicoterapia ha vivido momentos dif�ciles; obsesionada por rivalizar con los modelos biol�gicos, ha estado en una constante guerra civil en la que los diferentes enfoques de psicoterapia se ve�an obligados a competir entre s� por demostrar su eficacia, �como si la supervivencia de cada nueva idea dependiera de la extinci�n de las anteriores! Ha llegado el momento de acabar con la competici�n fratricida, habr� que sumar en vez de restar. Este libro te ofrece la sabidur�a de los autores con contribuciones m�s importantes para el desarrollo de la psicoterapia. Los psicoanalistas: empezando por Freud y terminando por el psicoan�lisis relacional de Mitchell. La psicoterapia de Adler, el padre de la psicolog�a moderna. La revoluci�n humanista encabezada por figuras como Rogers o Perls. Las exitosas terapias cognitivo-conductuales: las brillantes ideas de Ellis, la eficacia de la Terapia Cognitiva de Beck. Se revisan tambi�n modelos de �ltima generaci�n como el Mindfulness o la Terapia de Aceptaci�n y compromiso. Y, como no, terapias sist�micas como la Estrat�gica, la Estructural, la Terapia Centrada en Soluciones y la Narrativa.Todo ello desde una perspectiva abierta, para que el lector pueda elegir. Y de una manera condensada, se ofrecen res�menes concisos para quien quiera hacer una primera aproximaci�n te�rico-pr�ctica al tema. L�elo con apertura mental, l�elo para aprender. Es una compilaci�n de un siglo y medio de conocimientos elaborados por genios de diferentes �pocas, con ideas dispares, pero con un objetivo com�n: ayudar a aliviar el sufrimiento humano.

Download or read book Shake It Off Naturally written by David Berceli and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains an easy to follow stress reduction exercise technique whose central aspect is the activation of a mild shaking response of the nervous system. It explores this most fundamental human experience of 'shaking' during highly excited experiences or events. This book explains how this natural shaking response is potentially capable of both relaxing physical tension patterns in the body as well as reducing psycho-emotional stress and tension. The technique explained in this book has demonstrated itself to be useful for people who are experiencing simple daily stress, long-term chronic tension, or even recovering from traumatic events. This shaking response, which has been traced back through traditional cultures to present day medical science, is the body's own natural neuro-physiological reaction to reduce stress. The combined writings of 24 authors representing 12 countries and 3 languages take the reader through the theoretical understanding of this shaking mechanism from neurological and physiological perspectives to its application with self, family, community and organizations as well as, active duty and veteran military personnel, first responders, refugee populations, and natural disaster survivors.The easy to follow pictures and explanations of these exercises guides the reader comfortably through this self-help, stress reduction process.

Book excerpt: From early answer sheets filled in with number 2 pencils, to tests administered by mainframe computers, to assessments wholly constructed by computers, it is clear that technology is changing the field of educational and psychological measurement. The numerous and rapid advances have immediate impact on test creators, assessment professionals, and those who implement and analyze assessments. This comprehensive new volume brings together leading experts on the issues posed by technological applications in testing, with chapters on game-based assessment, testing with simulations, video assessment, computerized test development, large-scale test delivery, model choice, validity, and error issues. Including an overview of existing literature and ground-breaking research, each chapter considers the technological, practical, and ethical considerations of this rapidly-changing area. Ideal for researchers and professionals in testing and assessment, Technology and Testing provides a critical and in-depth look at one of the most pressing topics in educational testing today.

Download or read book The Two Sexes written by Eleanor E. Maccoby and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does being male or female shape us? And what, aside from obvious anatomical differences, does being male or female mean? In this book, the distinguished psychologist Eleanor Maccoby explores how individuals express their sexual identity at successive periods of their lives. A book about sex in the broadest sense, The Two Sexes seeks to tell us how our development from infancy through adolescence and into adulthood is affected by gender. Chief among Maccoby's contentions is that gender differences appear primarily in group, or social, contexts. In childhood, boys and girls tend to gravitate toward others of their own sex. The Two Sexes examines why this segregation occurs and how boys' groups and girls' groups develop distinct cultures with different agendas. Deploying evidence from her own research and studies by many other scholars, Maccoby identifies a complex combination of biological, cognitive, and social factors that contribute to gender segregation and group differentiation. A major finding of The Two Sexes is that these childhood experiences in same-sex groups profoundly influence how members of the two sexes relate to one another in adulthood--as lovers, coworkers, and parents. Maccoby shows how, in constructing these adult relationships, men and women utilize old elements from their childhood experiences as well as new ones arising from different adult agendas. Finally, she considers social changes in gender roles in light of her discoveries about the constraints and opportunities implicit in the same-sex and cross-sex relationships of childhood.

Download or read book Creationism and Its Critics in Antiquity written by David Sedley and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2008-01-16 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is configured in ways that seem systematically hospitable to life forms, especially the human race. Is this the outcome of divine planning or simply of the laws of physics? Ancient Greeks and Romans famously disagreed on whether the cosmos was the product of design or accident. In this book, David Sedley examines this question and illuminates new historical perspectives on the pantheon of thinkers who laid the foundations of Western philosophy and science. Versions of what we call the "creationist" option were widely favored by the major thinkers of classical antiquity, including Plato, whose ideas on the subject prepared the ground for Aristotle's celebrated teleology. But Aristotle aligned himself with the anti-creationist lobby, whose most militant members—the atomists—sought to show how a world just like ours would form inevitably by sheer accident, given only the infinity of space and matter. This stimulating study explores seven major thinkers and philosophical movements enmeshed in the debate: Anaxagoras, Empedocles, Socrates, Plato, the atomists, Aristotle, and the Stoics.

Download or read book Works and Lives written by Clifford Geertz and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The illusion that ethnography is a matter of sorting strange and irregular facts into familiar and orderly categoriesthis is magic, that is technologyhas long since been exploded. What it is instead, however, is less clear. That it might be a kind of writing, putting things to paper, has now and then occurred to those engaged in producing it, consuming it, or both. But the examination of it as such has been impeded by several considerations, none of them very reasonable. One of these, especially weighty among the producers, has been simply that it is an unanthropological sort of thing to do. What a proper ethnographer ought properly to be doing is going out to places, coming back with information about how people live there, and making that information available to the professional community in practical form, not lounging about in libraries reflecting on literary questions. Excessive concern, which in practice usually means any concern at all, with how ethnographic texts are constructed seems like an unhealthy self-absorptiontime wasting at best, hypochondriacal at worst. The advantage of shifting at least part of our attention from the fascinations of field work, which have held us so long in thrall, to those of writing is not only that this difficulty will become more clearly understood, but also that we shall learn to read with a more percipient eye. A hundred and fifteen years (if we date our profession, as conventionally, from Tylor) of asseverational prose and literary innocence is long enough.
