Book excerpt: La terapia de aceptación y compromiso (ACT) es una de las terapias más representativas de las denominadas terapias contextuales. Además, la ACT es parte de una aproximación científica más amplia para desarrollar una psicología científica que responda mejor a la complejidad de la condición humana. Tanto desde la vertiente de investigación básica como de la aplicada, esta terapia está siendo validada a través de múltiples estudios de caso y ensayos clínicos. Se ha probado que la ACT es efectiva en un amplio rango de trastornos psicológicos y de problemas relacionados con la salud. En este libro se muestra cómo la ACT puede ser aplicada a diversos problemas psicológicos en contextos muy diferentes, en formatos distintos y en una variedad de poblaciones. El objetivo es poner a disposición del lector un material práctico en el que se muestran la conceptualización que se hace desde la ACT de los problemas como el trastorno de evitación experiencial (TEE) y las operaciones que el clínico hace en terapia. Así, a través de múltiples ejemplos, se muestra cómo se aplican sus métodos de forma funcional en la práctica clínica. En este sentido, el libro, junto con otros recursos de formación, es una herramienta esencial para que los interesados en esta novedosa terapia puedan profundizar y comprender sus principales componentes y métodos y desarrollar las destrezas necesarias para una aplicación eficaz.

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

Book excerpt: Cunningham's classic introduction to Wicca is about how to live life magically, spiritually, and wholly attuned with nature.

Download or read book Without Criteria written by Steven Shaviro and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012-08-17 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Deleuzian reading of Whitehead and a Whiteheadian reading of Deleuze open the possibility of a critical aesthetics of contemporary culture. In Without Criteria, Steven Shaviro proposes and explores a philosophical fantasy: imagine a world in which Alfred North Whitehead takes the place of Martin Heidegger. What if Whitehead, instead of Heidegger, had set the agenda for postmodern thought? Heidegger asks, “Why is there something, rather than nothing?” Whitehead asks, “How is it that there is always something new?” In a world where everything from popular music to DNA is being sampled and recombined, argues Shaviro, Whitehead's question is the truly urgent one. Without Criteria is Shaviro's experiment in rethinking postmodern theory, especially the theory of aesthetics, from a point of view that hearkens back to Whitehead rather than Heidegger. In working through the ideas of Whitehead and Deleuze, Shaviro also appeals to Kant, arguing that certain aspects of Kant's thought pave the way for the philosophical “constructivism” embraced by both Whitehead and Deleuze. Kant, Whitehead, and Deleuze are not commonly grouped together, but the juxtaposition of them in Without Criteria helps to shed light on a variety of issues that are of concern to contemporary art and media practices.

Download or read book Overcoming Autism written by Lynn Kern Koegel, Ph.D. and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been huge advances in our ability to diagnose autism and in the development of effective interventions that can change children’s lives. In this extraordinary book, Lynn Kern Koegel, a leading clinician, researcher, and cofounder of the renowned Autism Research Center at the University of California at Santa Barbara, combines her cutting-edge expertise with the everyday perspectives of Claire LaZebnik, a writer whose experience with a son with autism provides a rare window into the disorder. Together, they draw on the highly effective “pivotal response” approach developed at the center to provide concrete ways of improving the symptoms of autism and the emotional struggles that surround it, while reminding readers never to lose sight of the humor that lurks in the disability’s quirkiness or the importance of enjoying your child. From the shock of diagnosis to the step-by-step work with verbal communication, social interaction, self-stimulation, meltdowns, fears, and more, the answers are here-in a book that is as warm and nurturing as it is authoritative.

Download or read book Terapia de Aceptaci n y Compromiso written by Steven C. Hayes and published by Desclée De Brouwer. This book was released on 2015-02-16 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso (ACT) pertenece a lo que ha dado en llamarse terapias de tercera generación que suponen una revisión de los planteamientos cognitivo-conductuales vigentes hasta no hace muchos años. La ACT asienta sus fundamentos teóricos en el contextualismo funcional y en la teoría del marco relacional, lo que implica un cambio radical en la consideración de los elementos del comportamiento humano, que ya no son analizados en su particular individualidad sino en cuanto elementos que forman parte del contexto en el que tiene lugar la propia conducta. En el ámbito de la práctica terapéutica, su aportación fundamental es la despatologización de la experiencia humana. Vivir no es una enfermedad, por dura que sea la realidad; lo verdaderamente patológico consiste en renunciar a las propias vivencias y experiencias vitales, la evitación vivencial. De este modo, la ACT se convierte en una invitación a la vida, a la realización personal a través de la propia trayectoria vital. Su objetivo terapéutico es el desarrollo de la flexibilidad psicológica a la que están enfocadas las distintas técnicas y herramientas recogidas en este manual. Los seguidores de distintos enfoques terapéuticos -Terapia Narrativa, Terapia Gestalt, Psicoterapia Analítica Funcional, PNL, Focusing, Mindfulness, Logoterapia, etc.- encontrarán en esta obra muchas técnicas y conceptos que les resultarán familiares. La ACT, sin embargo, es un enfoque diferente que puede enriquecer la práctica terapéutica de los profesionales de tendencias muy diversas. En el plano operativo, el presente manual aporta gran cantidad de materiales diagnósticos y de seguimiento de aplicabilidad inmediata y aborda, además, la situación vivencial del propio terapeuta en el transcurso de la terapia, sus dudas y temores. Proporciona una visión clara de la relación terapéutica mediante abundantes transcripciones de sesiones y aporta ejemplos concretos de motivación terapéutica mediante metáforas y demás técnicas propias de la ACT.

Download or read book Ethics for Behavior Analysts written by Jon Bailey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-04-21 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behavior analysis, a rapidly growing profession, began with the use and application of conditioning and learning techniques to modify the behavior of children or adults presenting severe management problems, often because of developmental disabilities. Now behavior analysts work in a variety of settings, from clinics and schools to workplaces. Especially since their practice often involves aversive stimuli or punishment, they confront many special ethical challenges. Recently, the Behavior Analysis Certification Board codified a set of ten fundamental ethical guidelines to be followed by all behavior analysts and understood by all students and trainees seeking certification. This book shows readers how to follow the BACB guidelines in action. The authors first describe core ethical principles and then explain each guideline in detail, in easily comprehensible, everyday language. The text is richly illuminated by more than a hundred vivid case scenarios about which the authors pose, and later answer questions for readers. Useful appendices include the BACB Guidelines, an index to them, practice scenarios, and suggested further reading. Practitioners, instructors, supervisors, students, and trainees alike will welcome this invaluable new aid to professional development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pasados veinte años desde la publicación del primer manual de aceptación psicológica (ACT) por los autores originales y diecisiete desde la publicación del primer manual de ACT en español, el concepto de aceptación que se maneja en la formación, la clínica y la divulgación en la actualidad dista mucho del que se propuso en aquel entonces. Afortunadamente, el conocimiento acumulado ha permitido hacer una definición más precisa de los procesos implicados en la habilidad de la aceptación. En este texto, volvemos a los orígenes para poder seguir avanzando con paso firme y riguroso; y deconstruimos para poder seguir construyendo a partir de los cimientos desde los que surgió la ACT, que son los cimientos del conductismo radical skinneriano. Con la llegada de otras formas de terapia que actualmente conviven con las terapias basadas en la aceptación psicológica, tales como el mindfulness o la psicología positiva, se hace necesario volver a la raíz filosófica y teórica de la aceptación psicológica para delimitar sus posibilidades y establecer las diferencias y los aspectos en común con las anteriores. El propósito de este manual es presentar la aceptación psicológica como proceso y como alternativa terapéutica. No se trata de un manual de una terapia específica, sino de un manual sobre el sustento filosófico, teórico y empírico que explica la elección de la aceptación (radical) del hecho de ser humano como alternativa terapéutica. Sin duda, es el manual que cualquier persona que quisiera adentrarse en la práctica de las terapias basadas en la aceptación debería leer, porque antes de conocer el cómo de la aceptación psicológica (las técnicas), es importante conocer el porqué de dicha aceptación (qué se puede cambiar y qué no, de acuerdo con la filosofía subyacente a las terapias basadas en la aceptación).
