Book excerpt: Un ouvrage qui répondra à toutes vos questions sur l'Alzheimer. Qu’est-ce que la maladie d’Alzheimer ? Quels en sont les symptômes ? Et, surtout, comment continuer à vivre au quotidien avec les changements et difficultés que celle-ci entraîne ? Dans Vivre avec Alzheimer, Valentine Charlot répond à ces questions naturellement posées par toute personne confrontée à son diagnostic. À ce jour, la maladie d’Alzheimer est la maladie neurodégénérative la plus diagnostiquée. On en parle donc beaucoup, parfois trop, souvent mal, ce qui entraîne de nombreuses attitudes de stigmatisation et provoque beaucoup d’angoisse. Pour contrer cette dramatisation, Valentine Charlot offre un regard lucide, nuancé et pratique sur cette maladie. De manière claire et accessible, elle donne aux personnes concernées et à leur entourage des conseils et explications permettant de mieux comprendre la maladie pour la vivre de manière plus apaisée. Un ouvrage optimiste mais réaliste sur la maladie d’Alzheimer et les moyens d’y faire face. CE QU'EN PENSE LA CRITIQUE "En parcourant votre livre, la première chose qui m'a touché, c'est que vous adressez le livre en priorité, ou en tout cas directement, aux personnes qui elles-mêmes souffrent de l'Alzheimer, et pas seulement à leur entourage." - Théo Mertens, RCF Radio "Pas de fatalisme, la maladie c'est aussi une incroyable opportunité de redécouvrir peut-être les personnes qui en souffrent." - Fabrice Lambert, Tendances Première

Download or read book The Time Cure written by Philip Zimbardo and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-10-23 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his landmark book, The Time Paradox, internationally known psychologist Philip Zimbardo showed that we can transform the way we think about our past, present, and future to attain greater success in work and in life. Now, in The Time Cure, Zimbardo has teamed with clinicians Richard and Rosemary Sword to reveal a groundbreaking approach that helps those living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to shift their time perspectives and move beyond the traumatic past toward a more positive future. Time Perspective Therapy switches the focus from past to present, from negative to positive, clearing the pathway for the best yet to come: the future. It helps PTSD sufferers pull their feet out of the quicksand of past traumas and step firmly on the solid ground of the present, allowing them to take a step forward into a brighter future. Rather than viewing PTSD as a mental illness the authors see it as a mental injury—a normal reaction to traumatic events—and offer those suffering from PTSD the healing balm of hope. The Time Cure lays out the step-by-step process of Time Perspective Therapy, which has proven effective for a wide range of individuals, from veterans to survivors of abuse, accidents, assault, and neglect. Rooted in psychological research, the book also includes a wealth of vivid and inspiring stories from real-life PTSD sufferers—effective for individuals seeking self-help, their loved ones, therapists and counselors, or anyone who wants to move forward to a brighter future.
Download or read book Lived Time written by EUGENE. MINKOWSKI and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-17 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eugène Minkowski's Lived Time articulates a phenomenology of time that is as inspired by the philosophical writings of Henri Bergson and Edmund Husserl as it is by the psychiatric descriptions of Eugen Bleuler. After providing a phenomenological description of the experience of time in normal life, Minkowski considers a number of mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, manic depression, and dementia, and he attempts to show that these pathological cases can be characterized in terms of a distortion of lived time and space. First published in French in 1933 as Le temps vécu, this edition of this classic work of phenomenological psychiatry and psychopathology includes a new foreword by Dan Zahavi that presents some of Minkowski's main ideas and discusses his contemporary relevance.

Download or read book Computers and Games for Mental Health and Well Being written by Yasser Khazaal and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen important developments in the computer and game industry, including the emergence of the concept of serious games. It is hypothesized that tools such as games, virtual reality, or applications for smartphones may foster learning, enhance motivation, promote behavioral change, support psychotherapy, favor empowerment, and improve some cognitive functions. Computers and games may create supports for training or help people with cognitive, emotional, or behavioral change. Games take various formats, from board games to informatics to games with interactive rules of play. Similarly, computer tools may vary widely in format, from self-help or assisted computerized training to virtual reality or applications for smartphones. Some tools that may be helpful for mental health were specifically designed for that goal, whereas others were not. Gamification of computer-related products and games with a numeric format tend to reduce the gap between games and computers tools and increase the conceptual synergy in such fields. Games and computer design share an opportunity for creativity and innovation to help create, specifically design, and assess preventive or therapeutic tools. Computers and games share a design conception that allows innovative approaches to overcome barriers of the real world by creating their own rules. Yet, despite the potential interest in such tools to improve treatment of mental disorders and to help prevent them, the field remains understudied and information is under-disseminated in clinical practice. Some studies have shown, however, that there is potential interest and acceptability of tools that support various vehicles, rationales, objectives, and formats. These tools include traditional games (e.g., chess games), popular electronic games, board games, computer-based interventions specifically designed for psychotherapy or cognitive training, virtual reality, apps for smartphones, and so forth. Computers and games may offer a true opportunity to develop, assess, and disseminate new prevention and treatment tools for mental health and well-being. Currently, there is a strong need for state-of-the-art information to answer questions such as the following: Why develop such tools for mental health and well-being? What are the potential additions to traditional treatments? What are the best strategies or formats to improve the possible impact of these tools? Are such tools useful as a first treatment step? What is the potential of a hybrid model of care that combines traditional approaches with games and/or computers as tools? What games and applications have already been designed and studied? What is the evidence from previous studies? How can such tools be successfully designed for mental health and well-being? What is rewarding or attractive for patients in using such treatments? What are the worldwide developments in the field? Are some protocols under development? What are the barriers and challenges related to such developments? How can these tools be assessed, and how can the way that they work, and for whom, be measured? Are the potential benefits of such products specific, or can these additions be attributed to nonspecific factors? What are the users’ views on such tools? What are the possible links between such tools and social networks? Is there a gap between evidence-based results and market development? Are there any quality challenges? What future developments and studies are needed in the field?

This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forced hospitalization of people with mental disorders has long been a critical issue in the mental health services. Coercion and Aggressive Community Treatment is the first sustained description and analysis of what happens when `aggressive' treatment becomes `coerced' treatment. Mental health professionals poignantly discuss the tension they feel between wanting to do everything to treat desperately ill people and the need to respect the rights of these same people who want to make their own decisions, even if this means forgoing treatment.
