Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En una época en la que crece la demanda de asistencia sanitaria mientras que los recursos disponibles son escasos, los procedimientos diagnósticos y los tratamientos tienen que sujetarse a estrictos controles que evalúen su eficacia, efectividad y eficiencia. En esta obra, indispensable para psicólogos, médicos de familia, psiquiatras o estudiantes, y para todos aquellos interesados en la utilidad de los tratamientos psicológicos y en las estrategias más adecuadas para tratar un gran número de problemas psicológicos según la investigación empírica más actual, se recoge una singular, extensa, ordenada y rigurosa revisión de la investigación realizada hasta hoy sobre la eficacia de los tratamientos psicológicos. Es una obra singular por ser la única publicación en español con sus contenidos, y sólo existen algunas referencias comparables en inglés. En los tres volúmenes que la componen se hace un recorrido por los trastornos más importantes, tanto psicológicos como físicos, en los que los tratamientos psicológicos han mostrado algún grado de utilidad o, incluso, en algunos casos, se han demostrado esenciales y sin alternativas válidas. El orden de la exposición se ha realizado según unos criterios comunes para enjuiciar la eficacia de los tratamientos, de acuerdo con las pautas marcadas previamente por los editores. Es destacable el rigor con el que se aborda la evaluación de la eficacia de los tratamientos. Un tema tan controvertido no puede ser objeto de un análisis simple, por lo que en el primero y el último capítulos se someten a análisis y crítica las posiciones más importantes que se mantienen sobre la evaluación de los tratamientos. Cada uno de los tópicos ha sido desarrollado por auténticos especialistas en el tema. Este primer volumen está dedicado al ámbito adulto, y en él se revisan los tratamientos psicológicos eficaces para los dieciséis trastornos más caracterizados en la clínica actual, entre ellos la esquizofrenia y los trastornos de la personalidad.

Book excerpt: La psicología, como ciencia que se ocupa del estudio de la persona y del comportamiento, debe fundamentarse en la obtención de evidencias empíricas que respalden el uso de sus técnicas y procedimientos psicoterapéuticos. Los profesionales de la psicología deben promover e implementar aquellos tratamientos psicológicos que cuenten con respaldo empírico según los estándares científicos vigentes de cara a tomar decisiones informadas.

Download or read book Harm Reduction Psychotherapy written by Andrew Tatarsky and published by Jason Aronson. This book was released on 2007-06-10 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking volume provides readers with both an overview of harm reduction therapy and a series of ten case studies, treated by different therapists, that vividly illustrate this treatment approach with a wide variety of clients. Harm reduction is a framework for helping drug and alcohol users who cannot or will not stop completely—the majority of users—reduce the harmful consequences of use. Harm reduction accepts that abstinence may be the best outcome for many but relaxes the emphasis on abstinence as the only acceptable goal and criterion of success. Instead, smaller incremental changes in the direction of reduced harmfulness of drug use are accepted. This book will show how these simple changes in emphasis and expectation have dramatic implications for improving the effectiveness of psychotherapy in many ways. From the Foreword by Alan Marlatt, Ph.D.: “This ground-breaking volume provides readers with both an overview of harm reduction therapy and a series of ten case studies, treated by different therapists, that vividly illustrate this treatment approach with a wide variety of clients. In his introduction, Andrew Tatarsky describes harm reduction as a new paradigm for treating drug and alcohol problems. Some would say that harm reduction embraces a paradigm shift in addiction treatment, as it has moved the field beyond the traditional abstinence-only focus typically associated with the disease model and the ideology of the twelve-step approach. Others may conclude that the move toward harm reduction represents an integration of what Dr. Tatarsky describes as the “basic principles of good clinical practice” into the treatment of addictive behaviors. “Changing addiction behavior is often a complex and complicated process for both client and therapist. What seems to work best is the development of a strong therapeutic alliance, the right fit between the client and treatment provider. The role of the harm reduction therapist is closer to that of a guide, someone who can provide support an

Download or read book Madness and Social Representations written by Denise Jodelet and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A striking account of a colony for the mentally ill that forces a reconsideration of madness in society. What happens when the mentally ill are not isolated from society but are instead welcomed into it and invited to take a place in the fabric of the community? Are fear and rejection replaced by the understanding and sympathy often engendered by familiarity? Or are the barriers between the sane and the mad only strengthened? We have experienced a taste of this scenario in the U.S. in the last decade with the new emphasis on de-institutionalization, but Denise Jodelet takes us to an extraordinary community in France where the mentally ill have assumed a visible and prominent role for more than seventy years. The small French town of Ainay-le-Ch�teau and its environs are the site of a "family colony" for men, established in 1900. Here the patients ("lodgers") live with ordinary families ("foster parents"), hold jobs, and are free to move about the countryside. Jodelet's chronicle of daily life in the colony is made rich and vivid by extensive ethnographic material as she unravels a complex set of relationships, ultimately finding that while some of the barriers between the "other" and the larger society have been overcome, new ones have arisen in their place. This unique social experiment provides invaluable social and cultural insights, illuminating many fundamental issues in psychology, psychiatry, and sociology.
