This book was released on 2016-09-22 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los tiempos actuales plantean a los profesionistas de las distintas disciplinas, incluidas las relacionadas con la salud mental y el bienestar emocional, retos particulares que son producto de la modernidad y el contexto en que nos encontramos inmersos. En ese sentido, la temática elegida para la organización del 7º Congreso Internacional de la Asociación Mexicana de Orientación Psicológica y Psicoterapia, A. C. (AMOPP) representó un esfuerzo por dar respuesta a la imperiosa necesidad de ampliar la visión y alcance de la profesión del orientador psicológico en el ámbito de la justicia social y la psicología forense, ámbitos que sin duda merecen un espacio para el análisis y discusión. La Universidad Marista de Mérida fue sede de este Congreso, que se realizó los días 24, 25 y 26 de septiembre de 2015, evento avalado académicamente por la Universidad Iberoamericana de la Ciudad de México, la AMOPP y el National Board for Certified Counselors, por sus siglas NBCC. Siguiendo la tradición iniciada desde hace varios años, consideramos pertinente, dada la calidad de los ponentes y de los contenidos temáticos, realizar la edición una publicación bajo el título “Psicología forense y justicia social: estrategias de intervención”, y que presentamos como el X volumen de Temas Selectos en Orientación Psicológica (TSOP). Esta revista se mantiene como una serie de publicaciones anuales, bilingües, organizada en números monotemáticos continuos, que se integran por artículos inéditos de autores destacados en el área de la psicología y de la orientación psicológica. El objetivo de esta publicación es promover la salud mental en contextos no tradicionales de prevención e intervención. Ubicando con exactitud a la orientación psicológica en el mundo de los profesionales, proporcionándoles un marco teórico de referencia que les permita adoptar una identidad y un concepto funcional de salud psicológica. Los artículos que se presentan ayudarán a la promoción de una práctica profesional eficiente frente a los problemas que aquejan a nuestra sociedad actual; profesionales y estudiantes de medicina, psicología, psiquiatría, trabajo social y educación, entre otros; encontrarán en Temas Selectos en Orientación Psicológica, las herramientas adecuadas para el ejercicio profesional de sus funciones. Ser competentes y sensibles en el tema de Justica Social implica no sólo la posibilidad de estar atentos a los prejuicios, la discriminación, la opresión, marginación, maltrato y violencia que se genera ante la falta de aceptación y tolerancia a las diferencias por raza, origen étnico, clase social, grupo cultural, religión, lengua, discapacidad física o mental, nivel económico, género, nivel educativo u orientación sexual. Implica asimismo contar con los elementos teóricos y las estrategias de acción concretas que permitan a los orientadores psicológicos apoyar a sus clientes/pacientes para cambiar las condiciones ambientales que perpetúan varias formas de injusticia y opresión y que tienen efectos adversos en la salud mental y el bienestar del individuo, en un marco de responsabilidad ética. En el presente número de TSOP consideramos que una de las actividades por mejorar en la orientación psicológica, es también la intervención en el ámbito forense. En México, no existe aún el reconocimiento oficial de la psicoterapia forense como disciplina. Las contribuciones que la orientación psicológica forense aportan al sistema de justicia, como una nueva forma de intervención psicológica que abarca no solamente a personas que han infringido la ley o realizado alguna conducta antisocial, incluyen la rehabilitación de terceros en áreas que han sido afectadas en grado importante, así como el apoyo y fortalecimiento de víctimas y testigos en tránsito ante el sistema de justicia. Este volumen está dirigido a psicoterapeutas, orientadores psicológicos, psicólogos y estudiantes de Psicología y disciplinas afines con el objetivo de proporcionar conocimientos y herramientas prácticas para identificar las intervenciones terapéuticas que se puedan realizar en el campo de la Psicología Forense y de la Justicia Social, manteniendo una perspectiva integral y de Derechos Humanos y abordando con mayor eficacia los retos presentados en estos ámbitos

Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Download or read book Autism written by Sue Fletcher-Watson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on Francesca Happé’s best-selling textbook, Autism: An Introduction to Psychological Theory, this completely new edition provides a concise overview of contemporary psychological theories about autism. Fletcher-Watson and Happé explore the relationship between theories of autism at psychological (cognitive), biological and behavioural levels, and consider their clinical and educational impact. The authors summarise what is known about the biology and behavioural features of autism, and provide concise but comprehensive accounts of all influential psychological models including ‘Theory of Mind’ (ToM) models, early social development models and alternative information processing models such as ‘weak central coherence’ theory. The book also discusses more recent attempts to understand autism, including the ‘Double Empathy Problem’ and Bayesian theories. In each case, the authors describe the theory, review the evidence and provide critical analysis of its value and impact. Recognising the multiplicity of theoretical views, and rapidly changing nature of autism research, each chapter considers current debates and major questions that remain for the future. Importantly, the book includes the voices of autistic people, including parents and practitioners, who were asked to provide commentaries on each chapter, helping to contextualise theory and research evidence with accounts of real-life experience. The book embraces neurodiversity whilst recognising the real needs of autistic people and their families. Thus Autism: A New Introduction to Psychological Theory and Current Debate provides the reader with a critical overview of psychological theory but also embeds this within community perspectives, making it a relevant and progressive contribution to understanding autism, and essential reading for students and practitioners across educational, clinical and social settings.
Download or read book Positive Behavior Support for People with Developmental Disabilities written by Edward G. Carr and published by AAMR. This book was released on 1999 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, prepared in response to a request from the United States Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs, reviews the published literature on positive behavior interventions and uses this database to provide four main content areas for research. Positive behavior support (PBS) is defined as an approach for dealing with problem behavior that focuses on the remediation of deficient contexts (such as environmental conditions and/or behavioral repertoires) that by functional assessment are documented to be the source of the problem. The research published on PBS between 1985 and 1996 (n=107 articles) was reviewed with respect to four categories of variables: demographics, assessment practices, intervention strategies, and outcomes. Results indicated that: (1) PBS is widely applicable to people with serious problem behavior; (2) the field is growing rapidly overall, but especially in the use of assessment and in interventions that focus on correcting environmental deficiencies; (3) using stringent criteria of success, PBS is effective in reducing problem behavior in one-half to two-thirds of cases; (4) success rates nearly double when intervention is based on a prior functional assessment; and (5) consumer needs that emphasize comprehensive lifestyle support, long-term change, practicality and relevance, and direct support for consumers themselves are inadequately addressed by the research base. Recommendations are made for bridging the research-to-practice gap. (Contains more than 300 references.) (Author/CR)

Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to William James written by Ruth Anna Putnam and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-04-13 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William James (1842–1910) was both a philosopher and a psychologist, nowadays most closely associated with the pragmatic theory of truth. The essays in this Companion deal with the full range of his thought as well as other issues, including technical philosophical issues, religious speculation, moral philosophy and political controversies of his time. The relationship between James and other philosophers of his time, as well as his brother Henry, are also examined. By placing James in his intellectual landscape the volume will be particularly useful to teachers and students outside philosophy in such areas as religious studies, history of ideas, and American studies. New readers and nonspecialists will find this the most convenient and accessible guide to James currently available. Advanced students and specialists will find a conspectus of recent developments in the interpretation of James.
