Book excerpt: “No other individual—not even Freud himself—has had a greater impact on modern psychotherapy.” —Psychology Today All of us worry about something, big or small, every day. But much of the emotional misery we feel is an overreaction—and can be significantly reduced using the techniques in this book. World-renowned therapist Dr. Albert Ellis, who created Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), believed that anger, anxiety, and depression are not only unnecessary, they’re unethical, because when we allow ourselves to become emotionally upset, we’re being unfair and unjust to ourselves. Thinking negative thoughts is a choice we can refuse to make. Applying the proven, time-tested principles of REBT is a simple, logical way to find true mental health and happiness. REBT acknowledges the power of emotions, but it also helps us understand which feelings are healthy and which are not. This classic book teaches you how to: · Retrain your brain to focus on the positive and face obstacles without unnecessary despair · Control your emotional destiny · Refuse to upset yourself about upsetting yourself · Solve practical problems as well as emotional problems · Conquer the tyranny of “should,” and much more Get the tools you need to take back your life—and your happiness. If you can refuse to make yourself miserable, you’re that much closer to making yourself happy—every day. “Shows how to avoid the traps of self-harm and find mental health.” —Publishers Weekly
Download or read book L ABC delle mie emozioni 8 13 anni written by Mario Di Pietro and published by Edizioni Centro Studi Erickson. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume per insegnare a bambini e ragazzi a gestire le proprie emozioni attraverso tecniche di ristrutturazione cognitiva. L'ABC delle mie emozioni si ispira alla Terapia Razionale Emotiva Comportamentale (REBT), oltre a tracciarne gli ultimi aggiornamenti ne presenta le particolarità e individua le differenze rispetto ad altre metodologie. La Terapia Razionale Emotiva Comportamentale (REBT) Si tratta di una teoria e di una prassi psicoterapeutica ideata dallo psicologo statunitense Albert Ellis, l'accostamento dei termini «razionale» ed «emotiva» sta a indicare la possibilità di raggiungere un certo benessere emotivo utilizzando la propria capacità di pensare in modo razionale e costruttivo. La Terapia Razionale Emotiva Comportamentale spiega il meccanismo che sta alla base delle reazioni emotive attraverso il modello ABC dell'emozione: il punto A indica un qualsiasi evento o situazione; il punto B comprende i pensieri valutativi riguardanti ciò che accade al punto A; il punto C è la reazione emotiva e il comportamento che ne deriva. Secondo questo modello non è A (l'evento) a causare direttamente C (l'emozione), ma piuttosto è l'elemento B (i pensieri) che determina il tipo di reazione emotiva e comportamentale. L'educazione razionale-emotiva L'educazione razionale-emotiva è un percorso didattico derivato dalla Terapia Razionale Emotiva Comportamentale, attraverso il quale si cerca di educare la mente del bambino al potenziamento di quell'aspetto dell'intelligenza che è in grado di favorire reazioni emotive equilibrate e funzionali. Il processo di educazione emotiva, inteso come strategia di prevenzione del disagio emotivo, costituisce, secondo un'espressione coniata da alcuni psicologi statunitensi, un vero e proprio lavoro di «alfabetizzazione emozionale». Ciò significa infatti insegnare al bambino l'ABC delle proprie emozioni secondo il modello della Terapia Razionale Emotiva Comportamentale. Consigliato a Il testo può essere utilizzato come materiale di lavoro con il bambino o il ragazzo e si presta ad essere utilizzato anche in un contesto di coaching o di psicoterapia, fornendo un prezioso strumento al counselor o al terapeuta. In sintesi L'educazione razionale-emotiva non vuole essere una mera celebrazione delle emozioni, ma vuole soprattutto insegnare come superare emozioni nocive e vivere il più possibile emozioni positive. Capire le emozioni significa essere consapevoli del rapporto tra mente ed emozioni, in altre parole conoscere ciò che, dentro la nostra testa, determina l'insorgenza e il mantenimento di una certa emozione.

This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Come è possibile affrontare lo stress, il disagio psicologico, l'ansia e la rabbia? Come si possono risolvere i più comuni problemi emotivi e comportamentali? La Terapia Razionale Emotiva Comportamentale (REBT) è una teoria e una prassi psicoterapeutica che negli ultimi decenni ha avuto un notevole influsso sulla psicologia clinica. La REBT ha alla base principi semplici, straordinariamente efficaci e facilmente trasmissibili. Il presupposto da cui parte Albert Ellis, uno dei più autorevoli psicoterapeuti del Novecento, è che, se noi riusciamo a pensare in modo razionale, cioè funzionale al nostro benessere, la forza traumatica di qualunque evento si svuota del suo potenziale ansiogeno. Varie forme di disagio psicologico ed emotivo, infatti, non vengono determinate dalle caratteristiche dell'evento attivante in sé, ma dai pensieri, spesso distorti e irrazionali, per mezzo dei quali lo interpretiamo e gli assegniamo un significato esageratamente ostacolante. Il volume offre una serie di esercizi pratici e semplici da eseguire, oltre a numerosi consigli per: • liberarsi dal panico e dall'ansia eccessiva • superare i problemi emotivi • essere consapevoli dei propri sentimenti • cambiare convinzioni e comportamenti irrazionali.

Download or read book Understanding Anger Disorders written by Raymond DiGiuseppe and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since classical times, philosophers and physicians have identified anger as a human frailty that can lead to violence and human suffering, but with the development of a modern science of abnormal psychology and mental disorders, it has been written off as merely an emotional symptom and excluded from most accepted systems of psychiatric diagnosis. Yet despite the lack of scientific recognition, anger-related violence is often in the news, and courts are increasingly mandating anger management treatment. It is time for a fresh scientific examination of one of the most fundamental human emotions and what happens when it becomes pathological, and this thorough, persuasive book offers precisely such a probing analysis.Using both clinical data and a variety of case studies, esteemed anger researchers Raymond A. DiGiuseppe and Raymond Chip Tafrate argue for a new diagnostic classification, Anger Regulation and Expression Disorder, that will help bring about clinical improvements and increased scientific understanding of anger. After situating anger in both historical and emotional contexts, they report research that supports the existence of several subtypes of the disorder and review treatment outcome studies and new interventions to improve treatment. The first book that fully explores anger as a clinical phenomenon and provides a reliable set of assessment criteria, it represents a major step toward establishing the clear definitions and scientific basis necessary for assessing, diagnosing, and treating anger disorders.
