Download or read book PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT BY COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY FOR HYPEROXALURIA written by Edenilson Brandl and published by Edenilson Brandl. This book was released on with total page 1482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living with hyperoxaluria presents unique challenges, not only to physical health but also to mental well-being. This genetic condition, which can lead to a buildup of oxalate and subsequent kidney stones, impacts numerous aspects of daily life, from managing physical symptoms to dealing with the emotional toll of a chronic illness. While medical interventions are essential for addressing the physical effects, the psychological struggles that often accompany hyperoxaluria require equally thoughtful care and support. This book, Psychological Support by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Hyperoxaluria, is designed to fill a gap in the current approach to treating hyperoxaluria by offering strategies rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is a well-established psychological treatment that helps individuals manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. For those facing hyperoxaluria, CBT provides valuable tools to handle the psychological challenges associated with chronic illness, such as coping with pain, adjusting to lifestyle changes, dealing with medical trauma, and fostering resilience in the face of uncertainty. In the pages that follow, readers will find foundational knowledge on hyperoxaluria, genetics, and related biological factors, along with comprehensive CBT techniques that can be applied to daily life. This book is structured to guide both patients and mental health practitioners through the journey of managing hyperoxaluria with an integrated therapeutic approach. Topics include core CBT methods, specialized coping skills for handling pain, tools for adapting to genetic health conditions, and exercises aimed at building emotional resilience. Additionally, insights into personal challenges such as maintaining self-esteem, managing societal stigma, and dealing with changes in relationships are discussed in depth, offering practical support for the nuanced experiences of those living with hyperoxaluria. This work is also intended as a resource for clinicians and therapists seeking to broaden their understanding of genetic conditions in mental health treatment. It provides practical guidance on using CBT techniques in the context of a hereditary disease, with a focus on the unique psychological needs of individuals managing hyperoxaluria. It is my hope that this book will serve as a supportive companion, helping individuals with hyperoxaluria reclaim control over their mental well-being and live fulfilling lives despite the challenges they face. Whether you are a patient, a family member, or a healthcare provider, I invite you to explore the techniques presented here and to discover how CBT can empower those impacted by hyperoxaluria to find strength, resilience, and peace.

Download or read book Experiences of Schizophrenia written by Michael Robbins (M.D.) and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 1993-07-30 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important new volume, Michael Robbins presents an exploration of schizophrenia unique in both its breadth and depth. His work renders this mysterious condition much more comprehensible, and offers both theoreticians and clinicians of different scientific orientations new possibilities for treatment and interdisciplinary collaboration. The book interweaves an explication of the nature and treatment of schizophrenia, drawn from interlocking perspectives including organic, psychological, interpersonal, familial, and socio-cultural, with five of the most detailed case reports of treatment to be found in the literature. Part I introduces the work by covering basic definitions of schizophrenia, the hierarchical systems model for mental illness, issues concerning the data presented in the book, and the methodology used to gather information. Representing the extremes in outcome, Part II comprises two extensive case studies: One is the story of an unusually successful treatment; the other is a case that proved to be a multisystem failure. Chapters in Part III synthesize what is known about the disorder from the perspectives of neuroscience, psychology and psychoanalysis, family systems, and society and culture, incorporating Dr. Robbins' original ideas in these areas. The contributions of such factors as constitutional vulnerability are also explored. Chapters on treatment issues in Part IV cover evaluation and treatment planning from a systems perspective, and review studies of the efficacy of a psychological approach. Technique, process, and the stages of psychotherapy are discussed in detail, as are issues of hospital treatment, pharmacologic and somatic modalities, and family treatment. Part V consists of three complete case studies that are illuminating reading for professionals and students alike. Covering the cases from inception to termination, and spanning the gamut of clinical experience, they include one case that had a positive outcome, one in which the patient seemed to choose to remain ill, and one successful treatment of a chronic schizophrenic. Rounding out the volume is a chapter that summarizes the work and points the way for future research. This thought-provoking book is basic reading for all human science professionals interested in the study and treatment of mental illness, in philosophical and practical questions about the relationships among the scientific disciplines, or in broad questions about the connections among the individual, the family, and social structure.
