Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El objetivo principal de esta manual es ofrecer un programa de tratamiento psicológico que, junto al tratamiento farmacológico, reduzca las hospitalizaciones y las recaídas, y mejore la calidad de vida y la recuperación funcional de los pacientes con trastorno bipolar o con trastorno bipolar refractario. El tratamiento farmacológico ha sido, hasta hace pocos años, el único tratamiento ofertado a los pacientes con un trastorno bipolar, mostrándose insuficiente en una gran proporción de casos. En los últimos años se ha investigado la influencia de diferentes terapias psicosociales en el trastorno bipolar, apostando por la necesidad de un programa estructurado que combinara técnicas de distintos modelos. Por ello, presentamos un programa de tratamiento psicológico de veinte sesiones para ser aplicado en formato grupal, que integra psicoeducación con terapia cognitivo-conductual y añade técnicas de otros modelos. Este programa se desarrolla en el medio clínico habitual de los pacientes, por lo que puede ponerse en práctica tanto en hospitales como en centros de salud mental. Este manual pretende ofrecer a los profesionales un amplio repertorio de estrategias útiles y prácticas para mejorar la evolución de nuestros pacientes. El presente volumen se completa con la obra Ojos que si ven. Soy Bipolar. (Diez entrevistas) (Ed. Desclée De Brouwer. Colección Serendipity. Bilbao 2011), un compendio de diez entrevistas de corte humano con pacientes bipolares que participaron en esta experiencia científica. Ana González Isasi (Vitoria-Gasteiz, 1977).

Using behavioral activation and cognitive interventions to treat depression among Latinos. Treating aggression, substance use, abuse, and dependence among Latino Adults. Treating behavioral problems among Latino adolescents. Treating anxiety among Latino children. Working with Latino couples. Restoring legal competency with Latinos. The Toolkit for Counseling Spanish-Speaking Clients fills a glaring need in behavioral service delivery, offering health psychologists, social workers, clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists, and other helping professionals culturally-relevant support for working with this under served population. The materials included here are an important step toward dismantling barriers to mental health care.

Book excerpt: An innovative study of the media's portrayal of mental illness and the impact it has on the general public and attitudes and responses of carers and users of the mental health services. The Glasgow Media Group has been well known for the last twenty years for its ground breaking empirical research on the impact of the media in shaping public opinion.

Download or read book Opening Pandora s Box written by G. Nigel Gilbert and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1984-02-23 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes a fresh approach to sociological analysis and, in particular, to the analysis of scientific culture. It moves away from previous studies, which have tended to focus on scientists' actions and beliefs to show that analysis of scientific discourse can be productive and revealing. The book demonstrates that scientists produce varying accounts of their actions and beliefs in different social situations. Rather than attempting to extract one coherent interpretation from these diverse accounts, the study identifies two basic scientific repertoires and shows how scientists use them to create their discourse. This provides a point of departure for more complex analytical topics. Discourse analysis is applied to show how different degrees of 'consensus' can be ascribed to the same group of scientists at a given moment in time through the application of standard interpretive techniques. Finally, discourse analysis is used to explore scientists' humour, a neglected topic that is shown to provide important insights into the normally hidden interpretive regularities which underlie the cultural diversity of science.

Download or read book Media Madness written by Otto F. Wahl and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, Kojak, and Melrose Place, from books, music, cartoons, advertising, and newspapers, we all derive our images of mental illness. These omnipresent media portrayals are at the least insensitive, inaccurate, and unfavorable and at the worst stigmatizing and pernicious. In this important book, Dr. Otto Wahl examines the prevalence, nature, and impact of such depictions, using numerous examples from film, television, and print media. He documents the remarkable frequency of these images and demonstrates how the media has stereotyped the mentally ill through exaggeration, misunderstanding, ridicule, and disrespect. Media Madness also shows the damaging consequences of such stereotypes - stigma, rejection, loss of self-esteem, reluctance to seek, accept, or reveal psychiatric treatment, discrimination, and restriction of opportunity. The forces that shape current images of mental illness are clarified, as are the efforts of organizations and individuals to combat such exploitation.

Download or read book The Uncomfortable Dead written by Subcomandante Marcos and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stylized reissue of the acclaimed, surreal noir collaboration between Mexico’s greatest writer and its most courageous revolutionary. “Taibo’s expertise ensures a smart, funny book, and Marcos brings a wry sense of humor.” —Publishers Weekly In alternating chapters, Zapatista leader Subcomandante Marcos and the consistently excellent Paco Ignacio Taibo II create an uproarious murder mystery with two intersecting storylines. The chapters written by the famously masked Marcos originate in the mountains of Chiapas, Mexico. There, the fictional “Subcomandante Marcos” assigns Elias Contreras—an odd but charming mountain man—to travel to Mexico City in search of an elusive and hideous murderer named “Morales.” The second story line, penned by Taibo, stars his famous series detective Hector Belascoaran Shayne. Hector guzzles Coca-Cola and smokes cigarettes furiously amidst his philosophical and always charming approach to investigating crimes—in this case, the search for his own “Morales.” The two stories collide absurdly and dramatically in the urban sprawl of Mexico City. The ugly history of the city’s political violence rears its head, and both detectives find themselves in an unpredictable dance of death with forces at once criminal, historical, and political. Readers expecting political heavy-handedness will be disarmed by the humility and playful self-mocking that runs throughout the book.

Download or read book Reporting Crime written by Philip Schlesinger and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1994 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day we watch, read, and hear stories about crime and justice. This path-breaking book reveals how policy makers, criminal justice professionals, pressure groups, and the police compete in self-promoting struggles to shape their own images and the policy agenda. In a series of case studies, the authors pose a number of important questions. Does coverage of crime statistics promote fear of crime, or is the debate about the figures really about something else? By focusing on fear of crime have we underplayed public fear of authority? Does the coverage of sexual crime encourage voyeurism? And finally, is television's growing obsession with showing us stories of real crime more about entertaining the audience than about helping the police with their enquiries? The first new study in almost two decades of how specialist crime journalists work, this book brings to a wider public an influential new approach to the sociological study of journalism.

Download or read book A Nation for All written by Alejandro de la Fuente and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2011-01-20 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After thirty years of anticolonial struggle against Spain and four years of military occupation by the United States, Cuba formally became an independent republic in 1902. The nationalist coalition that fought for Cuba's freedom, a movement in which blacks and mulattoes were well represented, had envisioned an egalitarian and inclusive country--a nation for all, as Jose Marti described it. But did the Cuban republic, and later the Cuban revolution, live up to these expectations? Tracing the formation and reformulation of nationalist ideologies, government policies, and different forms of social and political mobilization in republican and postrevolutionary Cuba, Alejandro de la Fuente explores the opportunities and limitations that Afro-Cubans experienced in such areas as job access, education, and political representation. Challenging assumptions of both underlying racism and racial democracy, he contends that racism and antiracism coexisted within Cuban nationalism and, in turn, Cuban society. This coexistence has persisted to this day, despite significant efforts by the revolutionary government to improve the lot of the poor and build a nation that was truly for all.
