Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durante las últimas décadas han aumentado tanto el número de personas aquejadas de trastornos mentales como el número de terapias farmacológicas, psicológicas y de otra índole para su tratamiento. ¿Nos encontramos ante una nueva epidemia debida a nuestro estilo de vida actual o existen otras razones que explican el aparente deterioro de nuestra salud mental? En este libro, dos investigadores y profesores universitarios, expertos en Psicofarmacología y Psicología clínica, proponen y justifican con todo rigor una provocativa, y seguramente polémica, teoría acerca de la invención de distintas categorías de trastornos mentales. La creación y propagación de éstas últimas tiene mucho que ver con los intereses comerciales de la industria farmacéutica y con la complacencia de profesionales y pacientes. Los autores han investigado a fondo la evidencia científica acerca de la naturaleza de los trastornos mentales y de sus tratamientos. La conclusión del análisis realizado pone de manifiesto que considerar los trastornos mentales como enfermedades es sencillamente una falacia. Frente al modelo rígido de «enfermedad mental», los autores proponen una visión más abierta de tipo contextual, centrada en las circunstancias personales, en la que se escucha a las personas en vez de a los fármacos.

Book excerpt: Clínica e historia se engranan y despliegan en estas páginas para mostrar los fundamentos psicopatológicos de las categorías que componen el panorama nosográfico de la psicosis (paranoia, demencia precoz-esquizofrenia y psicosis maníaco-depresiva). A lo largo de dos siglos de historia de la clínica mental se podrá asistir a los distintos intentos (ideológicos muchas veces y clínicos algunas otras) de transformación de la locura en enfermedades mentales. Los resultados nosológicos, nosográficos y éticos de este proceso de reconversión son minuciosamente examinados y confrontados en este ensayo con la experiencia concreta de una locura paradigmática, la de Paul Schreber, nuestro maestro de psicosis.

Download or read book Psychological Interventions for Psychosis written by Juan Antonio Díaz-Garrido and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-05-27 with total page 807 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows how psychological and social interventions can help people with psychosis. It brings together both theoretical chapters that contribute to the reconceptualization of psychosis and clinical cases illustrating how contemporary psychotherapeutic intervention models can be applied in the treatment of this mental health condition, with reflections, strategies and practical guidelines demonstrating how these models can inform professional practice in mental healthcare. Chapters brought together in this volume aim to reflect a paradigm shift in psychosis care. They present person-centered models that lead to a way of seeing, understanding and treating psychosis that is very different from the traditional biomedical model. Current authors and approaches are revolutionizing an outdated model trapped in purely pharmacological actions and tautological explanations of a biological nature, where symptom control is the basic and fundamental form of approach, and in which psychotherapeutic actions take second place as subsidiary to the former. Approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Acceptance and Recovery Therapy by Levels, Open Dialogue, Compassion-Centered Therapy or the Hearing Voices movement, to name but a few of those presented in this book, represent a journey of self-knowledge and learning for those recovering from psychosis, and have an intense transformative potential for the therapeutic team. The fundamental principle that guides this book is to share models belonging to psychology that aim at personal development while respecting the needs, values and goals of each person, and that can be adopted by any professional or student of clinical psychology, psychiatry, nursing, social work or any other discipline searching for more humanistic approaches to treat psychosis.
Download or read book Ni s hiper written by José Ramón Ubieto Pardo and published by NED Ediciones. This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los adultos estamos colonizando la infancia de manera acelerada por la vía de lo híper: infancias hiperactivas, hipersexualizadas, hiperconectadas... Queremos que sean como nosotros: emprendedores, con una identidad sexual clara, dominadores de varios idiomas y creativos. Idolatramos la autoestima, elogiándolos indiscriminadamente como si ya fueran geniales por el simple hecho de ser niños, a menudo origen de egos inflados de narcisismo. Y, al mismo tiempo, los queremos controlados y evaluables en sus resultados. ¿No estaremos privándoles del tiempo propio de la infancia, aquel que Freud reservaba para comprender qué significa hacerse mayor? ¿O de los entornos facilitadores de desarrollo a los que aludía Skinner? ¿Cómo seguir siendo interlocutores válidos para esta infancia del siglo XXI? Este libro está dirigido a un amplio público de madres y padres, docentes y profesionales.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a collection of articles provided by the participants of the SFB-workshop on C*-algebras, March 8 - March 12, 1999 which was held at the Sonderforschungsbereich "Geometrische Strukturen in der reinen Mathematik" of the University of Münster, Germany. The aim of the workshop was to bring together leading experts in the theory of C* -algebras with promising young researchers in the field, and to provide a stimulating atmosphere for discussions and interactions between the participants. There were 19 one-hour lectures on various topics like - classification of nuclear C* -algebras, - general K-theory for C* -algebras, - exact C* -algebras and exact groups, - C*-algebras associated to (infinite) matrices and C*-correspondences, - noncommutative prob ability theory, - deformation quantization, - group C* -algebras and the Baum-Connes conjecture, giving a broad overview of the latest developments in the field, and serving as a basis for discussions. We, the organizers of the workshop, were greatly pleased with the excellence of the lectures and so were led to the idea of publishing the proceedings of the conference. There are basically two kinds of contributions. On one side there are several articles giving surveys and overviews on new developments and im portant results of the theory, on the other side one finds original articles with interesting new results.

Download or read book Unhinged written by Daniel Carlat and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-18 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this stirring and beautifully written wake-up call, psychiatrist Daniel Carlat writes with bracing honesty about how psychiatry has so largely forsaken the practice of talk therapy for the seductive—and more lucrative—practice of simply prescribing drugs, with a host of deeply troubling consequences. Psychiatrist Daniel Carlat has noticed a pattern plaguing his profession. Psychiatrists have settled for treating symptoms rather than causes, embracing the apparent medical rigor of DSM diagnoses and prescription in place of learning the more challenging craft of therapeutic counseling, gaining only limited understanding of their patients’ lives. Talk therapy takes time, whereas the fifteen-minute "med check" allows for more patients and more insurance company reimbursement. Yet, DSM diagnoses, he shows, are premised on a good deal less science than we would think. Writing from an insider’s perspective, with refreshing forthrightness about his own daily struggles as a practitioner, Dr. Carlat shares a wealth of stories from his own practice and those of others that demonstrate the glaring shortcomings of the standard fifteen-minute patient visit. He also reveals the dangers of rampant diagnoses of bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other "popular" psychiatric disorders, and exposes the risks of the cocktails of medications so many patients are put on. Especially disturbing are the terrible consequences of overprescription of drugs to children of ever younger ages. Taking us on a tour of the world of pharmaceutical marketing, he also reveals the inner workings of collusion between psychiatrists and drug companies. Concluding with a road map for exactly how the profession should be reformed, Unhinged is vital reading for all those in treatment or considering it, as well as a stirring call to action for the large community of psychiatrists themselves. As physicians and drug companies continue to work together in disquieting and harmful ways, and as diagnoses—and misdiagnoses—of mental disorders skyrocket, it’s essential that Dr. Carlat’s bold call for reform is heeded.
