Download or read book The Myth of Closure Ambiguous Loss in a Time of Pandemic and Change written by Pauline Boss and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we begin to cope with loss that cannot be resolved? The COVID-19 pandemic has left many of us haunted by feelings of anxiety, despair, and even anger. In this book, pioneering therapist Pauline Boss identifies these vague feelings of distress as caused by ambiguous loss, losses that remain unclear and hard to pin down, and thus have no closure. Collectively the world is grieving as the pandemic continues to change our everyday lives. With a loss of trust in the world as a safe place, a loss of certainty about health care, education, employment, lingering anxieties plague many of us, even as parts of the world are opening back up again. Yet after so much loss, our search must be for a sense of meaning, and not something as elusive and impossible as "closure." This book provides many strategies for coping: encouraging us to increase our tolerance of ambiguity and acknowledging our resilience as we express a normal grief, and still look to the future with hope and possibility.

Download or read book Psychology and the National Institute of Mental Health written by Wade E. Pickren and published by Amer Psychological Assn. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume is a historical analysis of the reciprocal relationship of psychology and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). As a historical volume, the book provides important insights into the remarkable expansion of psychology since World War II and illuminates the role of government in shaping the lives and practices of its citizens through its funding of research, training, and service. It is also meant to serve as a resource for scholars who wish to write more specialized histories of post-World War II psychology and government. There has been little historical work that offers a compelling analysis of the forces that have given such a psychological cast to the last 50 years. This volume focuses on issues of mental health policy, support of research through the extensive grants programs, training for research and practice, and the expanded support of mental health services by the federal government, each of which had important consequences for the discipline of psychology. In turn, government policy and practices were changed by the involvement of psychologists as science administrators. The chapters are arranged in four sections: "Part I: Introduction and Historical Overview", "Part II: NIMH Support of Psychological Science", "Part III: Training Psychologists for Science and Practice", and "Part IV: Psychologists on Site: Practice and Community." Thus, each of the main functions of NIMH are examined for their influence on psychology. The various chapters in this book give an indication of the range of impact of the NIMH on psychology and the key roles that psychologists played at NIMH. This volume fills a significant gap in our understanding of the development of current psychological science and practice, and it links that development to the emergent relationship of psychology and government"--Chapter.

Today's families are diverse and complex, and their problems do not always improve when treatment focuses on addressing a diagnosis. To achieve successful, lasting change, therapists must help families change their patterns of interaction. This book examines several common interactional challenges that contemporary families face, such as co-parenting, divorce, intimate partner violence, blending families, and loss and bereavement. For each challenge, contributors examine research regarding the concern as well as research on multiple diverse family types, and then provide clinical examples showing how to develop interventions for these family types. With its combined focus on inclusion, social justice, and evidence-based practice, this book will help clinicians work with today's diverse families in effective, culturally responsive ways"--
