Download or read book From zero to hero written by Wanda Montanelli and published by Tektime. This book was released on 2023-12-13 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In daily encounters on TV, press editorials and news reports, the only reason seeming to compel insiders is their circulation or audience. Everyone else turns a blind eye to it. Nobody cares about knowing that the higher the audience, the more links to Twitter there’ll be or that the more likes on Facebook there’ll be, the seeds of gratuitous violence are more effectively sown. This is called emulation or, in the psychopathology of communication, the “Werther effect”. Our society is full of frustrated individuals who ascribe their own failings to the world around them and it may be the case that some marginalised people regard themselves as being rather low on the social scale and therefore choose to give themselves hero status, worthy of the newspaper front pages. Consequently, they may happen to take action by seizing a firearm in search of verification of them transforming their empty existence into stuff of legend, giving enough to take about for days, months and years to come. Such a breakthrough, from zero to hero! Translator: Rhys Llwyd PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

Download or read book The Art of Change written by Giorgio Nardone and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 1993-01-26 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of Change provides practitioners with in-depth information on the theory and practice of strategic therapy, presenting an innovative approach to conceptualizing and solving human problems. This book, the English translation of the highly regarded Italian book, L'Arte del cambiamento, provides clinical examples and practical guidelines revealing how to apply specific, goal-directed, and time-saving therapeutic techniques in practice.Giorgio Nardone and Paul Watzlawick offer an overview of the historical development of strategic therapy approaches, and they look at the conceptual differences of the most important authors and scholars on strategic therapy. The authors show how, as opposed to traditional therapeutic approaches, the strategic therapy intervention can be a swift, well-planned process whose initiation, direction, objectives, and duration can be fairly clear from the beginning. And they demonstrate how, to be truly effective in obtaining solutions to specific clinical problems, the therapist needs to combine a knowledge of systemic techniques with inventiveness and versatility.This book gives a detailed account of techniques and specific interventions for working with clients suffering from anxiety, phobia, and obsessive-complusive problems. Demonstrating the efficacy and the speed of this approach, Nardone presents a systematic, thorough evaluation of the results he obtained by applying these techniques to a large and varied group of subjects over two years.

Download or read book Prison of Food written by Roberta Milanese and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-26 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking volume concentrates on solution-oriented treatment of some of the most difficult pathologies - anorexia, bulimia and vomiting (as a separate category introduced by Nardone et al). The logic and apparent simplicity of the way these complex conditions are treated is truly outstanding. As opposed to a long-drawn psychotherapy, Nardone and his colleagues offer a relatively short period of treatment, consisting of dialogue between the patient and the therapist, and sometimes the patient's family. The patient is also given some "homework" to do in-between the sessions. Rather than looking at the "why" of the situation, this approach looks at "how" the problem manifests itself and what can be done about it. The book starts by outlining the pathologies and the logic behind this type of brief therapy. It then moves on to examine particular case studies and the reader gets immersed in the fascinating dialogue between the therapist and the client.

Download or read book Front Sight written by Marco Masetti and published by Youcanprint. This book was released on 2022-03-24 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FRONT SIGHT by Marco Masetti Synopsis FRONT SIGHT is a collection of my notes as a high level Target Shooting Coach, who managed to achieve training an Athlete who won a Silver medal at the London Olympics. Mainly I speak of the training methodology in the field of Olympic target shooting, explaining in detail a method that was innovative in the period 2009-2012. More generally I speak of technical things, however, interspersed with actual episodes that occurred during competitions and training sessions. I recount what were the guidelines for me as an International Coach, my beliefs, my points of view and also my personal sports education. I believe it is a useful guide for the entire Shooting world seeing as I write specifically not only about what was carried out during the National Training Camps, but also about the work carried out during individual training sessions. I illustrate a training period of 21 weeks with a high-level athlete (but I do not publish all the 21 weekly work plans) and also a work plan developed for a club coach who had contacted me because he needed to train one of his athletes. These two chapters can undoubtedly set a good example for those learning to design work plans for themselves or for their Athletes. I provide insights into two scientific studies (with experiments) aimed at obtaining a better and improved level of performance, and also a series of "Shooting Games" to make training more interesting. At the end, I produce an extensive bibliography of the material cited in this book, but which was also useful for me throughout my sports education.

Download or read book Addictions written by David Belin and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-10-19 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addiction, increasingly perceived as a heterogeneous brain disorder, is one of the most peculiar psychiatric pathologies in that its management involves various, often non-overlapping, resources from the biological, psychological, medical, economical, social, and legal realms. Despite extensive efforts from the players of these various fields, to date there are no reliably effective treatments of addiction. This may stem from a lack of understanding of the etiology and pathophysiology of this disorder as well as from the lack of interest into the potential differences among patients in the way they interact compulsively with their drug. This book offers an overview of the psychobiology of addiction and its current management strategies from pharmacological, social, behavioural, and psychiatric points of view.

Download or read book The Evolution of Family Patterns and Indirect Therapy with Adolescents written by Emanuela Giannotti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-29 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text presents a picture of contemporary family patterns that might produce problems of social and psychopathologic deviance in adolescents. It is the outcome of the teamwork of 32 researchers and therapists, members of the Centre of Strategic Therapy in Arezzo. This work was put together over a period of five years, where the research-intervention group met on a monthly basis under the author's personal supervision, to put together the data gathered from thousands of cases of disturbed adolescents with the aim of better the application of specific strategic interventions in parent-child problematics. The purpose of this book is to point out clearly how some problems of contemporary adolescents can be triggered off and how they can be prevented or solved. It is meant to be a training text for specialists but it is also reader-friendly and can be appreciated both by parents and children so that both can come to avoid the traps hidden in relationships and their dysfunctional aspects. In other words, the aim is to 'correct' "the best intentions that produce the worst effects".

Download or read book Introducci n al asesoramiento pastoral de la familia AETH written by Jorge E. Maldonado and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2004-05-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La pérdida de valores morales que llevan a considerar todo desde una perspectiva groseramente relativista; la situación social y económica tan crítica que lleva a tratar de protegernos de cualquier manera posible; el materialismo contemporáneo que nos hace creer que teniendo más cosas seremos más felices; y otros muchos aspectos similares, han provocado una crisis que se refleja y tiene sus efectos en la pareja y familia contemporánea. La sociedad ha contagiado su enfermedad a la familia. Así pues, esta unidad básica sufre los devastadores efectos del tiempo y sociedad en que nos ha tocado vivir. ¿Hay algo que se pueda hacer? ¿Hay remedio que alivie esa enfermedad? El Dr. Maldonado nos muestra que para que la familia pueda procesar cualquier situación crítica que estén viviendo y salir avante por el camino de la recuperación y el crecimiento, la mayor parte del tiempo requiere de orientación, consejo, o asesoría. Así pues, y desde la perspectiva cristiana, en este libro el Dr. Maldonado presenta los elementos básicos de la asesoría, los criterios que servirán para identificar a una familia sana e ir hacia ella, y las metas que se deben perseguir al asesorar y que servirán al asesor o consejero para promover el sano crecimiento tanto de la pareja como de la familia. Porque, a final de cuentas, la familia no es solamente el lugar donde encontramos refugio y alimento. La familia, por sobre todo, es el lugar donde nos formamos como y donde somos verdaderamente humanos y cristianos.

Download or read book Systemic Therapy with Individuals written by Paolo Bertrando and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors describe the work they are doing with individual clients in Milan. Locating themselves clearly within the tradition of the Milan approach and more recent social constructionist and narrative influences, and articulating continually a broad systemic framework emphasizing meaning problems in context and relationship, they introduce a range of ideas taken from psychoanalysis, strategic therapy, Gestalt therapy and narrative work. They describe the therapy as Brief/Long-term therapy and introduce new interviewing techniques, such as connecting the past, present and future in a way that releases clients and helps them construct new narratives for the future; inviting the patient to speak to the therapist as an absent family member; and working with the client to monitor their own therapy. The book is written with a freshness that suggests the authors are describing "work in progress", and the reader is privy to the authors' own thoughts and reactions as they comment on the process of their therapy cases. This is a demystifying book, for it allows the reader to understand why one particular technique was preferred over another.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are no longer used to critically examining the meaning of “design”, which maintains an unexplored dimension in terms of the Power that can be exercised through the cyclic act of creation, preservation and disruption. This assumption induce us focus on the contrast between the “visible” side of the act that involves all its conceptual and practical manifestations, and a hidden or “dark” side that deals with politics and power play, but that however has an major influence in the process and its hierarchical dynamics. This implies an order on the surface seems to be naturally stirred by the so-called “perceptions” that reflect the preferences of overall public opinions: however, looking deeper, all the production acts involves a carefully controlled disequillibrium influenced by social, ecological, economical and political interests. The power fl ow in the act of “design” takes into consideration the paradoxical contradiction between its potentiality and its preservation of power.

Download or read book Italians and Food written by Roberta Sassatelli and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-18 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a novel and original collection of essays on Italians and food. Food culture is central both to the way Italians perceive their national identity and to the consolidation of Italianicity in global context. More broadly, being so heavily symbolically charged, Italian foodways are an excellent vantage point from which to explore consumption and identity in the context of the commodity chain, and the global/local dialectic. The contributions from distinguished experts cover a range of topics including food and consumer practices in Italy, cultural intermediators and foodstuff narratives, traditions of production and regional variation in Italian foodways, and representation of Italianicity through food in old and new media. Although rooted in sociology, Italians and Food draws on literature from history, anthropology, semiotics and media studies, and will be of great interest to students and scholars of food studies, consumer culture, cultural sociology, and contemporary Italian studies.

Download or read book A New Youth written by Carmen Leccardi and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-12-28 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New Youth? provides a cross-cultural perspective on the challenges and problems posed by young people's transition to adulthood. The authors address questions such as: What are the experiences of being young in different European countries? What can we learn about the differences of being young in non-European countries? Are young people developing new attitudes towards society? What are the risks associated with the transition of youth to adulthood? Can we identify new attitudes about citizenship? On a more general level, are there experiences and new social meanings associated with youth? The volume is comparative between various European and non-European countries in order to identify the emerging models of transition. These characteristics are connected with broader social, political and cultural changes: changes related to extended education, increasing women's participation in the labour market, changing welfare regimes, as well as changes in political regimes and in the representation and construction of individual identities and biographies, towards an increasing individualization. The work offers critical reflections in the realm of sociology of youth by providing broader understandings of the term 'youth'. The detailed analysis of new forms of marginality and social exclusion among young people offers valuable insight for policy development and political debate.

Download or read book Changing Self Destructive Habits written by Matthew D. Selekman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in one volume self-harm, substance abuse, eating-disordered behavior, gambling, and Internet and cyber sex abuse—five crippling, self-destructive behaviors—are given a common conceptual framework to help with therapeutic intervention. Matthew Selekman and Mark Beyebach, two internationally-recognized therapists, know first-hand that therapists see clients who have problems with several of these habits in varying contexts. They maintain an optimistic, positive, solution-focused approach while carefully addressing problems and risks. The difficulties of change, the risk of slips and relapses, and the ups-and-downs of therapeutic processes are widely acknowledged and addressed. Readers will find useful, hands-on therapeutic strategies and techniques that they can use in both individual and conjoint sessions during couple, family, and one-on-one therapy. Detailed case examples provide windows to therapeutic processes and the complexities in these cases. Clinical interventions are put in a wider research context, while research is reviewed and used to extract key implications of empirical findings. This allows for a flexible and open therapeutic approach that therapists can use to integrate techniques and procedures from a variety of approaches and intervention programs.

Download or read book The Rise and Fall of the Italian Communist Party written by Silvio Pons and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2024-10-01 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reassesses the history of Italian communism in international perspective. Analyzing the rise and fall of the Italian Communist Party as a case study in the global history of communism, Silvio Pons considers a wide range of relational and temporal contexts, from the practices of internationalism to the training of militants and leaders, and to networks established not only in Europe but also in the colonial and postcolonial world. Pons focuses on the attempts of the Italian Communist Party to forge an intellectually defensible party program that combined the international demands of Moscow with the Italians' attempts to develop their own foreign and domestic policies according to their own political circumstances. Following three leaders of the Italian Communist Party (Antonio Gramsci, Palmiro Togliatti, and Enrico Berlinguer) from the First World War to the fall of the Soviet Union, Silvio Pons considers the broader relationship between communism and Cold War history, the history of decolonization, and the rise of "Europe" as a political category.
