Acceptance And Commitment Therapy For Insomnia - A Session-By-Session Guide

~~98,71€~~ 88,84€ 10% OFF

 This book presents a complete guide for psychotherapists to apply a protocol based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to the treatment of insomnia. It describes an evidence-based treatment program for insomnia based on the theoretical model of ACT which allows clinicians to both apply it as monotherapy or in conjunction with behavioral components that are associated with better insomnia treatment outcomes, such as stimulus control and sleep restriction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the current psychotherapy of choice to treat insomnia, but there are patients who have difficulties in adhering to some therapeutic elements and others who are refractory to this modality. Therefore, new therapeutic modalities are needed. ACT applied to insomnia has shown effective results, presenting another way to deal with the cognitive components involved in sleep difficulties.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Insomnia: A Session-By-Session Guide aims to bridge the gap between the available evidence on the use of ACT for insomnia and clinical practice by providing, in one single volume, all the necessary tools for clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists and mental health professionals interested in applying this innovative evidence-based approach to the treatment of insomnia. "This innovative and well-written volume offers therapists a practical, evidence-based alternative to traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or medication-dependent treatments for insomnia. It’s important to have such choices, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has unusual strengths in focusing on the whole person and their overall quality of life, instead of the features of sleep disruption alone. Using a carefully crafted, session-by-session approach, it equips professionals with the tools to adapt ACT to individual patient needs, making a meaningful difference in their journey towards restfulsleep and greater well-being. Highly recommended". Steven C. Hayes, Ph.D. Foundation Professor of Psychology Emeritus, University of Nevada, Reno. Originator of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Schizoanalysis And Schizodrama - Clinic And Politics

by Domenico Uhng Hur

~~145,09€~~ 130,58€ 10% OFF

 This book presents theoretical and methodological contributions to the development of mental health interventions that combine clinical and political approaches based on schizoanalysis and schizodrama. It seeks to make the transition from the philosophy of schizoanalysis to the applied field of intervention of a clinic-politics with strong inspiration from schizodrama.Created in the early 1970s by the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze in partnership with French psychoanalyst Félix Guattari, schizoanalysis is a philosophical approach that departs from the psychoanalytic inquiry of desire and affection as the main drivers of the processes of subjectivation to create a Philosophy of Difference that aims at mapping and contributing to the emergence of different forms of subjectivity not submitted to traditional forms of psychic and social coercion. Inspired by this innovative theoretical approach, the Argentinian psychiatrist Gregorio Baremblitt developed an original kind of schizoanalysis in Latin America called schizodrama, which aims at creating intervention devices, both clinical and political, to operationalize schizoanalysis’ philosophical concepts. Building upon the contributions of schizodrama, this book seeks to contribute to operationalize the "migration" of schizoanalysis to the fields of psychology and social intervention.Schizoanalysis and Schizodrama: Clinic and Politics will be of interest to mental health professionals - such as psychologists, psychiatrists and clinical social workers - as well as to researchers in the human, social and health sciences interested in learning about this new theoretical field and its various modes of clinical-political intervention. This is a revised edition of a book originally published in Brazilian Portuguese. The original manuscript was written in Brazilian Portuguese and translated into English with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.

Narrative Social Work Practice - A Resilience-Enhancing Anti-Oppressive Approach

~~118,59€~~ 106,73€ 10% OFF

 This book highlights the co-creation of the narrative interview and explains how the narrative method can be used to promote competence and wellness, resist oppression, and ultimately liberate clients from their problems. The person-in-environment concept brings together a wide range of personal and societal micro to macro influences that allow practitioners to engage in an effective helping process with diverse individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities.The textbook has been written at a time of pronounced sociocultural and historical flux, uncertainty, and civil strife that threaten to disrupt the social fabric of the United States. Consequently, the book augments the resilience-enhancing stress model (RESM) approach to the narrative methodology.

Among the topics covered are:<ul><li>Adopting RESM Anti-Oppressive Social Work Strategies: A Micro to Macro Approach</li><li>Co-creating a Narrative: Forming Personal Identity</li><li>Macrolevel Narrative Skills and Techniques</li><li>Proactive Resilience Social Work Practice</li><li>Time, Place, and Resilience</li></ul>The ultimate purpose of the book is for social workers to develop the ability to enhance clients'' and constituencies'' optimal resilient social functioning in a just and equitable world that embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion. Although narrative social work practice is not yet widely applied, the text elucidates how storytelling can break new ground in achieving asset-based, resilience-enhancing social work practice as well as redress social, economic, and political injustice.Narrative Social Work Practice: A Resilience-Enhancing Anti-Oppressive Approach is the third in a series of texts that defines risk and resilience theory and its offshoot—the RESM. The book is intended primarily for generalists and advanced students as well as practitioners in the social work field.

Helping? - A Search To Understand Healing From An Indigenous African-Centered Perspective

by Gillian Berry

~~98,71€~~ 88,84€ 10% OFF

 This book exists to encourage helping professionals, particularly those at the beginning of their careers, to critically explore and understand current strategies in fields such as psychotherapy, psychology, and social work. Historical examples of helping policies and strategies used over the years are reviewed and critically evaluated as to whether they helped or hurt the communities they were designed to support. Current policies will be discussed to evaluate whether they are helping the communities they serve. In alignment with an Indigenous African-centered philosophy of holism, multi-dimensionality, and interconnectedness, this work takes a multilayered approach to storytelling by weaving together three journeys: the author’s personal journey of exploration, the journey of the Black Girl from George Bernard Shaw’s novella (described below), and the reader’s. In it, the author details her understanding of the philosophical framework she learned in professional helping training programs, why she came to believe they were inadequate, and how this sparked her global search to understand how to be an effective helper. The author’s journey is paralleled with the famous and controversial novella by George Bernard Shaw, The Adventures of the Black Girl in Her Search for God, which is a depiction of the universal search for understanding. This text contrasts this alternative perspective on helping with the dominant approaches to what constitutes "helping." The protagonist''s journey is mirrored by the author’s stories of discovery, and reflective questions are designed to enable the reader’s journey toward becoming a professional helper in the context of current systems. This text explores what helping may look like from an alternative philosophical perspective, seeking to facilitate a process that will enable people to live more satisfyingly. Each chapter offers theoretical underpinnings from an Indigenous African-centered perspective, a critique of dominant approaches to helping, and a different stage of the Black Girl and authors’ paralleled searches for understanding about God and healing, respectively.
