Download or read book Phenomenology of Anxiety written by Stefano Micali and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-30 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a thorough description of anxiety from a phenomenological perspective. Building on Bakhtin’s insights, the author develops the method of “phenomenological polyphony,” which can do justice to the essential ambiguity of anxiety. In this polyphony, the voices of Kierkegaard, Husserl, Freud, Blumenberg, Heidegger, Sartre, Adorno, Derrida and Levinas are particularly recognizable. The book explores new perspectives on the complex relation between anxiety, fear, and trauma with reference to different disciplines, from art history to cultural anthropology, from psychopathology to theology, from literature to political philosophy. When is anxiety justified? When does anxiety cease to function as an effective and reasonable signal preventing imminent threats, and when does it become an invasive projection of our own ghosts? This volume presents a deep philosophical inquiry into the affective phenomenon that can both protect us from danger and be a danger in itself. Moreover, the author explores the relevance of anxiety in the context of philosophical anthropology. In various theoretical frameworks, the difference between anxiety and fear serves as a criterion for distinguishing human beings from animals in particular. Accordingly, research on anxiety is crucial for defining human nature as such. The analysis presented in this volume shows how an alteration of the dimensions of embodiment, time-consciousness, and phantasy takes place in anxiety. Furthermore, the author elaborates on new categories for understanding of anxiety, such as quasi-intentional imaginative anticipation, which eludes the traditional differentiation between perception and imagination. The work culminates in a phenomenological analysis of five essential traits of anxiety: 1. its quasi-intentional imaginative anticipation; 2. its negative inspiration; 3. the recurrence of bodily manifestations; 4. the interlocution with an alien power; 5. its negative teleology.

Download or read book Mindful Parenting written by Susan Bögels and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-09-18 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its inherent joys, the challenges of parenting can produce considerable stress. These challenges multiply—and the quality of parenting suffers—when a parent or child has mental health issues, or when parents are in conflict. Even under optimal circumstances, the constant changes as children develop can tax parents' inner resources, often undoing the best intentions and parenting courses. Mindful Parenting: A Guide for Mental Health Practitioners offers an evidence-based, eight week structured mindfulness training program for parents with lasting benefits for parents and their children. Designed for use in mental health contexts, its methods are effective whether parents or children have behavioral or emotional issues. The program's eight sessions focus on mindfulness-oriented skills for parents, such as responding to (as opposed to reacting to) parenting stress, handling conflict with children or partners, fostering empathy, and setting limits. The book dovetails with other clinical mindfulness approaches, and is written clearly and accessibly so that professionals can learn the material easily and impart it to clients. Featured in the text: Detailed theoretical, clinical, and empirical foundations of the program. The complete Mindful Parenting manual with guidelines for eight sessions and a follow-up. Handouts and assignments for each session. Findings from clinical trials of the Mindful Parenting program. Perspectives from parents who have finished the course. Its clinical focus and empirical support make Mindful Parenting an invaluable tool for practitioners and clinicians in child, school, and family psychology, psychotherapy/counseling, psychiatry, social work, and developmental psychology.

Book excerpt: Van alle Nederlanders heeft misschien weI vijftien procent last van een sociale fobie. Bij die stoornis wordt men ernstig in het functioneren belemmerd door een onberedeneerde angst in sociale situaties, bijvoorbeeld wanneer er een presentatie moet worden gehouden of tijdens een vergadering om een mening wordt gevraagd. Wie deze situaties moeizaam en met veel angst doorstaat of ze zelfs zoveel mogelijk uit de weg gaat, heeft een sociale fobie. Die kan het leven danig in de war schoppen: in de kiem gesmoorde carrières, beperkte sociale contacten, moeite met het vinden van een partner, enzovoort.Gelukkig is er genoeg aan een sociale fobie te doen. Men kan zelf veel ondernemen en in therapie gaan. Vier van de vijf mensen die een 'effectieve' therapie volgen, zijn na afloop genezen. Dat wil niet zeggen dat ze nergens meer last van hebben, maar wel dat ze een normaal leven kunnen leiden. De angstklachten zijn dan zoveel minder geworden, dat er van een sociale fobie geen sprake meer is.Om zelf aan de slag te kunnen gaan, is het noodzakelijk de nodige kennis over sociale fobie in huis te hebben. En voor wie in therapie wil gaan, geldt hetzelfde: pas wanneer men weet wat er precies aan de hand is, kan de juiste therapie worden gevonden. In 'Leven met een sociale fobie' is de actuele kennis over deze fobievorm helder weergegeven, met gebruikmaking van citaten en voorbeelden uit eigen praktijk.Leven met een sociale fobie is deel 5 in de reeks Van A tot ggZ. De boeken uit deze boekenreeks zijn voor zowel de professional als de cliënt uiterst bruikbaar om meer inzicht in diverse stoornissen te krijgen.

Download or read book Stress written by Dirk Hellhammer and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2008 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevention, diagnosis and treatment of stress-related disorders are major challenges across medical disciplines. Reasons include a missing covariance between the psychological and physiological stress response and a tremendous intra-individual complexity of disease-related factors, resulting in a broad inter-individual heterogeneity of pathogenetic mechanisms. This book introduces 'Neuropattern', a new concept that attempts to assess the activity of neuroendocrine interfaces participating in the communication between the brain and the body during stress. This approach allows close examination of the causal mechanisms behind stress-related disturbances and diseases, thus enabling individualized preventive and therapeutic interventions. This publication provides clinicians, researchers and students from the fields of psychiatry, psychology, neurobiology and psychoendocrinology with an excellent overview of how knowledge from basic psychobiological research can be translated for the benefit of their patients.

Download or read book How Intelligence Happens written by John Duncan and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-22 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively journey through the brain’s inner workings from “one of the world’s leading cognitive neuroscientists” (The Wall Street Journal). Human intelligence builds sprawling cities, vast cornfields, and complex microchips. It takes us from the atom to the limits of the universe. How does the biological brain, a collection of billions of cells, enable us to do things no other species can do? In this book, neuroscientist John Duncan offers an adventure story—the story of the hunt for basic principles of human intelligence, behavior, and thought. Using results drawn from classical studies of intelligence testing; from attempts to build computers that think; from studies of how minds change after brain damage; from modern discoveries of brain imaging; and from groundbreaking recent research, he synthesizes often difficult-to-understand information into clear, fascinating prose about how brains work. Moving from the foundations of psychology, artificial intelligence, and neuroscience to the most current scientific thinking, How Intelligence Happens is “a timely, original, and highly readable contribution to our understanding” (Nancy Kanwisher, MIT) from a winner of the Heineken Prize for Cognitive Science
