Summary : El número de aproximaciones terapéuticas para abordar el sufrimiento humano continúa creciendo, mientras la sociedad se encuentra cada vez más anestesiada, aferrándose a soluciones hedónicas que solo funcionan a corto plazo. Las estimaciones de la Organización Mundial de la Salud sobre la incidencia de los problemas psicológicos siguen siendo alarmantes desde hace décadas, aunque el dolor psicológico exista desde que lo hace la especie humana. Desde esta obra los autores presentan una forma de intervención psicológica basada en las terapias contextuales, que aborda el sufrimiento humano como tal, sin compartimentarlo o etiquetarlo. Las dificultades se encuentran en los problemas de la vida cotidiana y los trastornos solo serían problemas porque se tornan problemáticos por la forma en la que se intenta solucionarlos. Asimismo, las causas de esos problemas se encuentran en la historia del individuo, no en su mente. El lector interesado en la psicoterapia podrá descubrir, aprender y revisar de nuevo las bases sobre las dos terapias más representativas de tercera generación, basadas en el contextualismo funcional: la Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso (ACT) y la Psicoterapia Analítica Funcional (FAP). Ambos modelos comparten los mecanismos que subyacen al cambio, adscritos a las leyes del aprendizaje donde convergen los esfuerzos por crear un enfoque unificado denominado FACT (Functional-Analytic Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). A través de diferentes investigaciones y revisiones, este híbrido se ha erigido como un sistema eficaz para mejorar la calidad de vida del ser humano con una filosofía particular y aplicaciones en diferentes contextos y condiciones clínicas. Una forma de intervención que se basa en los principios de aprendizaje, el análisis funcional y las interacciones personales y verbales entre terapeuta y cliente. En la obra se recoge esta forma de intervención con lo mejor de ambas terapias (FAP+ACT), ya basadas en la evidencia,(cont.)

Summary : How can I supercharge the therapy I currently use? This volume distils the core principles, methods, and vision of the approach. Each Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) principle is presented in terms of its intended purpose and is clearly linked to the underlying theory, thus providing clinicians with a straightforward guide for when and how to apply each technique. FAP embraces awareness, courage, and love as integral to the treatment process. Part I of this volume reviews the history of FAP and the basic behavioral principles on which it is based. Part II provides an easy to use step-by-step guide to the application of FAP techniques. FAP is an approach undergoing a renaissance, and this volume uniquely summarizes the full history, theory, and techniques of FAP, resulting in a handbook perfect for clinicians and graduate students with or without a behavioural background.

Summary : In previous books, Leslie S. Greenberg has demonstrated the importance of integrating emotional work into therapy and has laid out a compelling model of therapeutic change. Building on these foundations, WORKING WITH EMOTIONS IN PSYCHOTHERAPY sheds new light on the process and technique of intervention with specific emotions. Filled with illustrative case examples, the book shows clinicians how to identify a given emotion, discern its role in a client's self-understanding, and understand how its expression is furthering or inhibiting the client's progress. Of vital importance, the authors help readers think more differentially about emotions; to distinguish, for example, between avoided emotional pain and chronic dysfunctional bad feelings, between adaptive sadness and maladaptive depression, and between overcontrolled anger and underregulated rage. A conceptual overview and framework for intervention are delineated, and special attention is given throughout to the integration of emotion and cognition in therapeutic work.

Summary : To what extent should we use technology to try to make better human beings? Because of the remarkable advances in biomedical science, we must now find an answer to this question. Human enhancement aims to increase human capacities above normal levels. Many forms of human enhancement are already in use. Many students and academics take cognition enhancing drugs to get a competitive edge. Some top athletes boost their performance with legal and illegal substances. Many an office worker begins each day with a dose of caffeine. This is only the beginning. As science and technology advance further, it will become increasingly possible to enhance basic human capacities to increase or modulate cognition, mood, personality, and physical performance, and to control the biological processes underlying normal aging. Some have suggested that such advances would take us beyond the bounds of human nature. These trends, and these dramatic prospects, raise profound ethical questions. They have generated intense public debate and have become a central topic of discussion within practical ethics. Should we side with bioconservatives, and forgo the use of any biomedical interventions aimed at enhancing human capacities? Should we side with transhumanists and embrace the new opportunities? Or should we perhaps plot some middle course? Human Enhancement presents the latest moves in this crucial debate: original contributions from many of the world's leading ethicists and moral thinkers, representing a wide range of perspectives, advocates and sceptics, enthusiasts and moderates. These are the arguments that will determine how humanity develops in the near future.

Summary : The EUROHIS project has focused on the comparability of health surveys and has uncovered some problems that arise when aiming to compare data from different countries. Similar problems of cross-cultural comparability also arise when comparing data from other sources, such as health registers, and are just as complex and difficult to tackle. One of the main advantages of health surveys, however, is the relatively low cost and time involved in adapting them according to the needs of health policy-makers. This work shows that the output from the EUROHIS project provides common instruments for the measurement of eight health indicators. The development of these instruments has required careful consideration of relevant common concepts and how these should be defined and operationalized. The instruments are freely available for use by all countries, with the aim of enhancing national health information systems and facilitating cross-national comparisons of health data.

Leading authorities describe interventions grounded in ACT core processes--Defusion, Acceptance, Attention to the Present Moment, Self-Awareness, Values, and Committed Action. Guidance is provided for conducting functional assessments with adolescents and adults and working toward individualized treatment goals, starting with weight restoration. The book also discusses ways to engage parents and other family members in treatment. It features therapist scripts, sample dialogues, case examples, and reproducible forms and handouts. The large-size format facilitates photocopying; purchasers also get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials.
