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.

Narcisismo: En 1914, Sigmund Freud introdujo por primera vez la idea de un trastorno narcisista, pero ese concepto no se hizo oficial hasta hace aproximadamente 50 años. Ahora, el narcisismo es una palabra de moda popular en las redes sociales, blogs y concursos en línea. Pero, ¿de qué se trata realmente el narcisismo y cómo sabe si está relacionado con alguien así? Más importante aún, si descubre que está conectado con un narcisista, ¿cuáles son los peligros, cómo se protege y cómo escapa? Hay una gran diferencia entre alguien que exhibe rasgos narcisistas y alguien que padece NPD real o trastorno narcisista de la personalidad. Además, otros trastornos pueden parecer similares al NPD. Le mostraremos qué observar para que pueda notar la diferencia. En Narcisismo: comprender el trastorno de la personalidad narcisista, exploraremos cómo uno se convierte en narcisista y qué le sucede a una persona que de repente le quita la empatía, un rasgo directamente relacionado con nuestra humanidad. Descubriremos las diferentes categorías de narcisismo, desde el tipo leve y generalmente inofensivo hasta el tipo extremo y maligno, del que especialmente desea mantenerse alejado.
Download or read book Autism written by Sue Fletcher-Watson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on Francesca Happé’s best-selling textbook, Autism: An Introduction to Psychological Theory, this completely new edition provides a concise overview of contemporary psychological theories about autism. Fletcher-Watson and Happé explore the relationship between theories of autism at psychological (cognitive), biological and behavioural levels, and consider their clinical and educational impact. The authors summarise what is known about the biology and behavioural features of autism, and provide concise but comprehensive accounts of all influential psychological models including ‘Theory of Mind’ (ToM) models, early social development models and alternative information processing models such as ‘weak central coherence’ theory. The book also discusses more recent attempts to understand autism, including the ‘Double Empathy Problem’ and Bayesian theories. In each case, the authors describe the theory, review the evidence and provide critical analysis of its value and impact. Recognising the multiplicity of theoretical views, and rapidly changing nature of autism research, each chapter considers current debates and major questions that remain for the future. Importantly, the book includes the voices of autistic people, including parents and practitioners, who were asked to provide commentaries on each chapter, helping to contextualise theory and research evidence with accounts of real-life experience. The book embraces neurodiversity whilst recognising the real needs of autistic people and their families. Thus Autism: A New Introduction to Psychological Theory and Current Debate provides the reader with a critical overview of psychological theory but also embeds this within community perspectives, making it a relevant and progressive contribution to understanding autism, and essential reading for students and practitioners across educational, clinical and social settings.

Download or read book Trastornos del espectro del autismo written by Francisco Alcantud Marín and published by Ediciones Pirámide. This book was released on 2022-03-10 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En los últimos veinte años se ha producido un cambio muy significativo en el conocimiento de los trastornos del espectro del autismo. Han pasado de considerarse una enfermedad rara a considerarse el trastorno del neurodesarrollo más común debido a su alta prevalencia. El incremento del número de casos conocidos ha influido (junto con la presión de las familias) en que los profesionales e investigadores se interesen por la etiología, el proceso de detección y diagnóstico, la intervención temprana y sus consecuencias o los procesos de aprendizaje que se siguen en la escuela. El resultado es un cuerpo de conocimiento disperso y disgregado en múltiples fuentes. En esta obra se han recopilado de la forma más sistemática posible los resultados de la investigación en los tópicos que influyen directamente en el quehacer de los maestros cuando se enfrentan a la tarea educativa con niños y niñas con autismo. La primera parte presenta la evolución del concepto del autismo, su etiología y patogénesis con una perspectiva evolutiva y cognitiva. La segunda parte muestra al lector las dificultades que aún hoy refleja el diagnóstico del trastorno. La tercera parte expone los principios básicos de la intervención psicoeducativa basada siempre en evidencias científicas contrastadas. Por último, se han incluido dos capítulos que relatan la intervención en áreas deficitarias específicas del trastorno como son la comunicación y la interacción social.
Download or read book My Heart Can t Even Believe It written by Amy Silverman and published by . This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All parent stories about raising a child with Down syndrome are special and unique, but in the hands of a good writer, they can have the power to reach, change, and resonate far beyond family and friends. And that is the case with My Heart Can't Even Believe It, by journalist, blogger, and NPR contributor Amy Silverman. Amy bravely looks at her life, before and after her daughter Sophie was born, and reflects on her transformation from "a spoiled, self-centered brat," who used words like retard and switched lines at the Safeway to avoid a bagger with special needs, into the mother of a kid with Down syndrome and all that her new identity entails. She describes her evolution as gradual, one built by processing her fears and facing questions both big and small about Sophie, Down syndrome, and her place in the world. Funny, touching, and honest, this wonderful book looks at a daughter and her power to change minds and fill hearts with love so deep.
Download or read book The Acquisition of Spanish written by Silvina Montrul and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book on the acquisition of Spanish that provides a state-of-the-art comprehensive overview of Spanish morphosyntactic development in monolingual and bilingual situations. Its content is organized around key grammatical themes that form the empirical base of research in generative grammar: nominal and verbal inflectional morphology, subject and object pronouns, complex structures involving movement (topicalizations, questions, relative clauses), and aspects of verb meaning that have consequences for syntax. The book argues that Universal Grammar constrains all instances of language acquisition and that there is a fundamental continuity between monolingual, bilingual, child and adult early grammatical systems. While stressing their similarities with respect to linguistic representations and processes, the book also considers important differences between these three acquisition situations with respect to the outcome of acquisition. It is also shown that many linguistic properties of Spanish are acquired earlier than in English and other languages. This book is a must read for those interested in the acquisition of Spanish from different theoretical perspectives as well as those working on the acquisition of other languages in different contexts.

Download or read book European Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing in the 21st Century written by José Carlos Santos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-01 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking first volume of the Series has a number of features that set it apart from other books on this subject: Firstly, it focuses on interpersonal, humanistic and ecological views and approaches to P/MH nursing. Secondly, it highlights patient/client-centered approaches and mental-health-service user involvement. Lastly, it is a genuinely European P/MH nursing textbook – the first of its kind – largely written by mental health scholars from Europe, although it also includes contributions from North America and Australia/New Zealand. Focusing on clinical/practical issues, theory and empirical findings, it adopts an evidence-based or evidence-informed approach. Each contribution presents the state-of-the-art of P/MH nursing in Europe so that it can be transferred to and implemented by P/MH nurses and the broader mental health care community around the globe. As such, it will be the first genuinely 21st century European Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing book.
Download or read book Intervenci n psicoeducativa para ni os con Trastornos del Espectro Autista written by Mauricio Martínez and published by Miño y Dávila. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Actualmente existe un amplio consenso respecto a que la intervención psicoeducativa es la opción más apropiada para favorecer el desarrollo y la calidad de vida de los niños diagnosticados con Trastorno del Espectro Autista. En los últimos treinta años la investigación sobre eficacia y el desarrollo de programas psicoeducativos creció exponencialmente. Este modo particular de intervención proliferó y se extendió ampliamente. Cada vez contamos con mayor acceso a información relativa a los programas y los beneficios de su aplicación. Sin embargo, algunas cuestiones aún no han sido revisadas ni tratadas con el suficiente grado de atención que merecen. Por ejemplo: ¿cómo se define una intervención psicoeducativa?, ¿cuáles son sus rasgos definitorios?, ¿cómo se pueden clasificar los diferentes programas existentes?, ¿cuántas dimensiones contemplan los programas que demostraron ser eficaces?, ¿los programas existentes son eficaces cuando se implementan con niños menores de 24 meses?, son preguntas que frecuentemente –en el ámbito de la intervención y formación de profesionales– son pasadas por alto sin el debido trato que merecen. Mauricio Martínez presenta aquí estos temas, desarrollando de manera clara y precisa una conceptualización de los Trastornos del Espectro Autista como una alteración del neurodesarrollo, un sistema que permite clasificar los diferentes programas, una revisión comparativa de los mismos y una discusión sobre las preguntas que en la actualidad guían la investigación.
