Download or read book Making Room for the Disavowed written by Paul L. Wachtel and published by Guilford Publications. This book was released on 2023-09-22 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a leading voice in integrative psychotherapy, this unique work offers a fresh perspective on the causes of emotional suffering--and the therapist's role in healing. Paul L. Wachtel explores how early attachment experiences can limit our adaptive resources by leading us to recognize and express only certain thoughts, feelings, and ways of interacting, while casting aside or avoiding others. He describes powerful strategies for working with clients to make room for aspects of the self that were sidetracked in the course of development. Illustrated with rich clinical examples, the book weaves together cutting-edge theory and research from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, acceptance-based, and other therapeutic traditions.
Download or read book Carved by Experience written by Michal Barnea-Astrog and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does the tendency to crave pleasure and reject pain shape our lives? How does it affect the way we perceive reality, and how is it related to the emergence of suffering and the way it is experienced and transmitted? Can we live free of this tendency, beyond the pleasure principle? This book approaches these questions through an examination of the psychoanalytic concepts of projection and projective identification in the light of early Buddhist thought. It looks at the personal and the interpersonal, at theory, meta-theory, and everyday life. It observes how the mind's habits mould the human condition, and investigates its ability to free itself from their domination. It examines the potential of this liberation: to be in touch with reality as it is and live a less reactive, more ethical life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The field of psychotherapy has been fragmented and staggered by over-choice. We have witnessed the hyperinflation of brand-name therapies. In 1959, Harper identified 36 distinct systems of psychotherapy; by 1976, Parloff discovered more than 130 therapies in the therapeutic marketplace or, perhaps more appropriately, the "jungle place." Recent estimates put the number at over 500 and growing (Pearsall, 2011)"--

Download or read book Modernity Disavowed written by Sibylle Fischer and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2004-04-30 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernity Disavowed is a pathbreaking study of the cultural, political, and philosophical significance of the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804). Revealing how the radical antislavery politics of this seminal event have been suppressed and ignored in historical and cultural records over the past two hundred years, Sibylle Fischer contends that revolutionary antislavery and its subsequent disavowal are central to the formation and understanding of Western modernity. She develops a powerful argument that the denial of revolutionary antislavery eventually became a crucial ingredient in a range of hegemonic thought, including Creole nationalism in the Caribbean and G. W. F. Hegel’s master-slave dialectic. Fischer draws on history, literary scholarship, political theory, philosophy, and psychoanalytic theory to examine a range of material, including Haitian political and legal documents and nineteenth-century Cuban and Dominican literature and art. She demonstrates that at a time when racial taxonomies were beginning to mutate into scientific racism and racist biology, the Haitian revolutionaries recognized the question of race as political. Yet, as the cultural records of neighboring Cuba and the Dominican Republic show, the story of the Haitian Revolution has been told as one outside politics and beyond human language, as a tale of barbarism and unspeakable violence. From the time of the revolution onward, the story has been confined to the margins of history: to rumors, oral histories, and confidential letters. Fischer maintains that without accounting for revolutionary antislavery and its subsequent disavowal, Western modernity—including its hierarchy of values, depoliticization of social goals having to do with racial differences, and privileging of claims of national sovereignty—cannot be fully understood.
Download or read book Internalization written by Kenneth C. Wallis and published by Taylor & Francis Group. This book was released on 2001 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of internalization is fundamental to all forms of psychotherapy. It is difficult to see how any healing process is meaningful unless the one to be healed takes home some element of the cure. How else may a cure take place unless it is internalized? This book surveys the development of concepts pertaining to the processes by which an individual's internal world comes into being. The core concepts of internalization - identification, incorporation and interjection, which heavily influenced the evolution of psychoanalytic schools, illustrate the commonalities and differences between a wide variety of psychotherapeutic paradigms. Through an examination of representative proponents of the four major sub-divisions of psychotherapeutic schools - psychoanalysis, cognitive-behavioural, humanistic/existential and family-systems - the authors show how internalizing concepts and principles shed light on the theory and practice of psychotherapy.

Relational psychoanalysis diverges in key ways from the assumptions and practices that have traditionally characterized psychoanalysis.

Download or read book Preventing Alcohol Abuse written by David J. Hanson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1995-02-28 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevailing neo-prohibitionist approach to reducing alcohol problems is generally ineffective, often counter-productive, and is doomed to failure. This work is to promote an effective alternative strategy to reducing the incidence of alcohol problems. The thesis is that a socio-cultural approach would be effective, and therefore, that public policy should promote this approach. This work is expected to be controversial, and is hoped to form a pattern for reorientation of the current approach to alcohol abuse. Professionals in drug abuse education and treatment along with public policy makers and students in appropriate courses should be interested in the work.
Download or read book Seven Principles of Single Session Therapy written by Windy Dryden and published by Rationality Publications. This book was released on 2021-03-08 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Professor Dryden outlines seven core principles of Single-Session Therapy (SST). Beginning with a discussion of issues concerning the nature of SST, he puts forward the view that single-session therapy is best understood within the context in which it is practised. He then outlines central features of single-session thinking or what is known as the single-session mindset which underpins good SST practice. Professor Dryden makes the point that SST is not several sessions crammed into one. Rather, it is complete in itself and has its own process which he carefully outlines. One of the most frequently asked questions about single-session therapy stems from the doubts that therapists have about the possibility of forming a good therapeutic relationship in a single session. Professor Dryden shows that forming such a relationship is possible and argues that effective SST is based on the development and maintenance of a good working alliance and discusses the main features of this alliance. Professor Dryden emphasizes that the effective practice of single-session therapy is based on (a) consensual views of good practice that stem from the single-session mindset and (b) individual contributions from therapists based on their views of what constitutes effective practice. In illustrating the latter, Professor Dryden discusses what he brings to the practice of SST from his own ways of working as a clinician.
