Director, Centro de Psicoterapia Integrativa, Profesor, Escuela de Medicina Osteopática de Filadelfia, Depto. de Psicología. Instructor y Supervisor Clínico, Inst. Beck para la Terapia Cognitiva Conductual). "En tiempos en que se discuten los fenómenos transdiagnósticos y se cuestionan las categorías diagnósticas de las clasificaciones clásicas, el paciente que nos consulta, impregnado en todo su funcionamiento psíquico, por la angustia, preocupaciones y sintomatología somático-ansiosa, nos confronta con la necesidad de darle una respuesta. En ese sentido, este trabajo resulta una contribución fundamental para el estado del arte de nuestra disciplina. Obra inclusiva y actualizada, no se detiene en el tratamiento de síntomas, sino que profundiza en hacerse cargo de los mecanismos subyacentes al cuadro clínico. Especialmente aportador es el capítulo del paciente ficticio Darío, quien sintetiza de modo ejemplar al paciente ansioso y pone en un pie forzado a los autores de cada capítulo, obligándolos a desplegar su creatividad aplicando sus respectivos modelos al caso en particular."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durante las dos últimas décadas hemos presenciado un tremendo progreso en el conocimiento y tratamiento de los trastornos de ansiedad. Los enfoques derivados de la terapia cognitiva, particularmente, han logrado una base sustancial de apoyo empírico. En el presente libro, escrito por una autoridad contemporánea David A. Clark y por el pionero de la terapia cognitiva Aaron T. Beck, se sintetizan los últimos avances logrados en el campo y se presentan pautas actuales de práctica terapéutica basadas en los hallazgos más recientes. Otras características que hacen recomendable y manejable el libro son las síntesis, a modo de pequeños manuales, de los cinco principales trastornos de ansiedad, los aspectos clínicos concisos, los casos presentados con todo detalle y más de treinta cuestionarios y formularios que pueden emplearse en la práctica.En la Primera parte se actualiza y reformula el influyente modelo de los trastornos de ansiedad que Beck y sus colaboradores propusieron en 1985. Los autores aclaran las múltiples facetas de la ansiedad maladaptativa y del papel que desempeña la cognición en su desarrollo y mantenimiento. Sucintamente se revisan cientos de estudios empíricos que examinan las hipótesis del modelo. Sobre esta base se asienta la Segunda parte, la cual detalla las principales estrategias clínicas cuyo alcance es transdiagnóstico -efectivo y relevante para cualquier tipo de presentación de los síntomas de ansiedad. En esta parte se describen, paso a paso, el modo de dirigir la valoración, de formular los casos individuales y de implementar la reestructuración cognitiva y las intervenciones conductuales. La Tercera parte se destina más específicamente a los trastornos más prevalentes: el trastorno de angustia, el trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo y el trastorno por estrés postraumático. Los datos específicos de cada trastorno, las conceptualizaciones y los protocolos de tratamiento ofrecen al terapeuta recursos de gran valor para poder satisfacer las necesidades de cada paciente. La combinación de la profundidad académica con la inclusividad de la utilidad práctica convierte, este libro en una referencia esencial para los profesionales de la salud mental y para los investigadores de todas las áreas.

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.

Download or read book Shake It Off Naturally written by David Berceli and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains an easy to follow stress reduction exercise technique whose central aspect is the activation of a mild shaking response of the nervous system. It explores this most fundamental human experience of 'shaking' during highly excited experiences or events. This book explains how this natural shaking response is potentially capable of both relaxing physical tension patterns in the body as well as reducing psycho-emotional stress and tension. The technique explained in this book has demonstrated itself to be useful for people who are experiencing simple daily stress, long-term chronic tension, or even recovering from traumatic events. This shaking response, which has been traced back through traditional cultures to present day medical science, is the body's own natural neuro-physiological reaction to reduce stress. The combined writings of 24 authors representing 12 countries and 3 languages take the reader through the theoretical understanding of this shaking mechanism from neurological and physiological perspectives to its application with self, family, community and organizations as well as, active duty and veteran military personnel, first responders, refugee populations, and natural disaster survivors.The easy to follow pictures and explanations of these exercises guides the reader comfortably through this self-help, stress reduction process.

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.
