Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maya Angelou once wrote, "All great artists draw from the same resource: the human heart, which tells us that we are all more alike than we are unalike." We have all heard the saying, "Have a heart!" Indeed, the pivotal organ that governs life in every aspect from physical to spiritual and everything in between is the heart. Yet how much do you truly know about it? As you open the pages of this book, you will find it to be unlike the multitude of other books written about the very organ that beats for us day after day, moment after moment since conception. First, you will be captivated by the incredible heart of the man that wrote it. With great wisdom, Kris has crafted a book that showcases his knowledge of the inner workings of the heart. Kris takes a holistic view of the functions of the heart... including what makes the heart fail. He uses a variety of treatment options along with motivating, inspiring, and coaching to encourage patients to modify their lifestyles. His mission has been in the prevention of risk factors of heart disease and diabetes at primordial, primary, secondary, and tertiary care levels. Prevention of Heart Failure has been his main goal. "What impressed me most is the way he describes each chapter, with highlighted information to capture the attention of the readers. The very style of writing a medical book in such a simple language, with a unique approach of storytelling, makes this monograph extremely useful. Furthermore, including patient stories, explaining the underlying causes, and presenting management strategies makes this book a unique reference book for students, researchers, clinicians, and to some extent even to the patients who want to know more about their heart ailments. I have never had the experience of reviewing a medical monograph, which includes emotions, passion, compassion, empathies to illustrate a case in point. Just reading this monograph will make you feel that every doctor you see for your consultation, should have the qualities that Kris expresses in this work of art." Gundu H.R.

This book was released on 2024-03-21 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the importance of the therapeutic relationship, the tensions or disagreements that may emerge during a therapy session, and how they can be repaired. Dr. Koenigsberg introduces a two-part transtheoretical, psycholinguistic model which focuses on the connection between ruptures and the termination phase of therapy, emphasizing the verbal and nonverbal nuances of language, to understand what is happening in the therapeutic alliance. With a reliance on psycholinguistic elements, this model can guide therapists who wish to reduce the premature termination of patients from therapy. Written in an accessible format, it provides case examples, including the patient’s and therapist’s inner experiences, and defines and describes the phases of therapy so that difficult transitions in the therapeutic process can be navigated with skill and compassion. This text is essential for providing early career as well as more seasoned therapists with excellent strategies to repair their therapeutic relationships with clients.

Download or read book Practicing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Head and Heart written by Lieve Bruyninx and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-05 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will help readers balance the essential scientific concepts underlying Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with their clinical practice, reconnecting ACT with its behavioural therapeutic roots and Relational Frame Theory. Clinicians often struggle to understand the science (the “head”) that should underpin their clinical practice/work (the “heart”). Without a core understanding of the scientific concepts underlying ACT, clinicians struggle to understand how to adapt ACT in practice for specific client or group situations and why. In response to that, this book is structured to help readers understand the why of each intervention and how to use that to guide the next move. Through a mix of explanations, personal examples, exercises for the therapist, short cases, and metaphors, the book provides a series of science‐driven concepts that teach the reader to use the ACT toolbox with skilful interventions. This manual is a must‐read for any ACT trainee or practitioner, helping them systematically connect techniques with the rationale for their use.

Download or read book Taking It to the Streets written by J. Nathan Corbitt and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2003-09-01 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A quiet yet powerful revolution is going on. All over this country and across the world creativity-in the form of visual arts, music, dance, drama, and technology-is providing an emotionally expressive vehicle for communicating truth, developing character, and crossing cultural boundaries to build the kingdom of God. J. Nathan Corbitt and Vivian Nix-Early visited numerous artists, faith communities, and arts organizations to discover and document how the arts are being used to transform people and communities, especially in urban settings. The result is this extensive handbook that combines real-life stories with tested methodologies to create a new paradigm for the role of the arts in Christian ministry and mission. Taking It to the Streets provides church and mission leaders, youth ministers, and students with a historical perspective and theology for understanding the transforming power of the arts, a vocabulary for discussing them outside the sanctuary, and creative methods for bringing faith to action in the streets of society.

Download or read book Disorder Specific Psychodrama Therapy in Theory and Practice written by Reinhard T. Krüger and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-17 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The open access book explains the practical approach in psychodrama with the help of multidisciplinary theories of self-development, mentalization, play, and psychosomatic resonance. These theories help to structure the therapeutic experiences of Moreno and other psychodramatists and to compare them with experiences and theories of other psychotherapy methods. Against this background, the author develops models of a disorder-specific psychodrama therapy for people with personality disorders, borderline organization, trauma disorders, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, depression, grief reactions, suicidal crises, masochism, psychoses, addiction disorders, eating disorders, and behavioral addictions. The therapy models convey a deep understanding of these disorders and sometimes open up new ways of treatment. They can be used both in individual and in group therapy. The methods are explained with the help of more than 120 case examples. The theoretical explanation makes the psychodramatic action methods accessible and applicable to therapists from other schools of therapy as well as in counseling and coaching. This makes the practical work therapeutically more effective and creative. This is an open access book.

Download or read book Making of a Therapist written by Louis J. Cozolino and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2004-06-29 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lessons from the personal experience and reflections of a therapist. The difficulty and cost of training psychotherapists properly is well known. It is far easier to provide a series of classes while ignoring the more challenging personal components of training. Despite the fact that the therapist's self-insight, emotional maturity, and calm centeredness are critical for successful psychotherapy, rote knowledge and technical skills are the focus of most training programs. As a result, the therapist's personal growth is either marginalized or ignored. The Making of a Therapist counters this trend by offering graduate students and beginning therapists a personal account of this important inner journey. Cozolino provides a unique look inside the mind and heart of an experienced therapist. Readers will find an exciting and privileged window into the experience of the therapist who, like themselves, is just starting out. In addition, The Making of a Therapist contains the practical advice, common-sense wisdom, and self-disclosure that practicing professionals have found to be the most helpful during their own training.The first part of the book, 'Getting Through Your First Sessions,' takes readers through the often-perilous days and weeks of conducting initial sessions with real clients. Cozolino addresses such basic concerns as: Do I need to be completely healthy myself before I can help others? What do I do if someone comes to me with an issue or problem I can't handle? What should I do if I have trouble listening to my clients? What if a client scares me?The second section of the book, 'Getting to Know Your Clients,' delves into the routine of therapy and the subsequent stages in which you continue to work with clients and help them. In this context, Cozolino presents the notion of the 'good enough' therapist, one who can surrender to his or her own imperfections while still guiding the therapeutic relationship to a positive outcome. The final section, 'Getting to Know Yourself,' goes to the core of the therapist's relation to him- or herself, addressing such issues as: How to turn your weaknesses into strengths, and how to deal with the complicated issues of pathological caretaking, countertransference, and self-care.Both an excellent introduction to the field as well as a valuable refresher for the experienced clinician, The Making of a Therapist offers readers the tools and insight that make the journey of becoming a therapist a rich and rewarding experience.
