Book Synopsis Body Disownership in Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder by : Yochai Ataria
Download or read book Body Disownership in Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder written by Yochai Ataria and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the long-term outcomes of severe and ongoing trauma—particularly complex posttraumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD)—from phenomenological and cognitive perspectives. For example, C-PTSD can result in impairments at the body-schema level. In order to survive, trauma victims may conduct their lives at the body-image level, thus producing a mismatch between body schema and body image. In turn, as in the case of somatoparaphrenia and body integrity identity disorder, this incongruity can result in body disownership, which will affect long-term outcomes of severe and ongoing trauma.
Book Synopsis Primo Levi and Ka-Tzetnik by : Yochai Ataria
Download or read book Primo Levi and Ka-Tzetnik written by Yochai Ataria and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-14 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about Primo Levi and Ka-Tzetnik, both Auschwitz survivors and central figures in the shaping of Holocaust memory, who dedicated their lives to bearing witness and writing about the concentration camps, seeking, in particular, to give voice to those who did not return. The two writers are generally treated as complete opposites: Levi level-headed and self-aware, Ka-Tzetnik caught up in repeating the traumatic past. In this book I show how fundamentally mistaken this approach is, and how the similarity between them is, in fact, far greater than it may seem. While Levi draws the map, Ka-Tzetnik reveals the territory itself, and, taken together, they offer a better understanding of the human experience of the camps. This book explores their writing and their lives up to their deaths—Ka-Tzetnik of old age and Levi by his own hand—offering new explanations of Levi’s suicide, little understood to this day.
Book Synopsis Body Schema and Body Image by : Yochai Ataria
Download or read book Body Schema and Body Image written by Yochai Ataria and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Body schema is a system of sensory-motor capacities that function without awareness or the necessity of perceptual monitoring. Body image consists of a system of perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs pertaining to one's own body. In 2005 Shaun Gallagher published an influential book entitled How the Body Shapes the Mind (OUP). That book not only defined both body schema and body image, but explored the complicated relationship between the two. It also established the idea that there is a double dissociation, whereby body schema and body image refer to two different but closely related systems. Given that many kinds of pathological cases can be described in terms of body schema and body image (phantom limbs, asomatognosia, apraxia, schizophrenia, anorexia, depersonalization, and body dysmorphic disorder, among others), we might expect to find a growing consensus about these concepts and the relevant neural activities connected to these systems. Instead, an examination of the scientific literature reveals continued ambiguity and disagreement. This volume brings together leading experts from the fields of philosophy, neuroscience, psychology, and psychiatry in a lively and productive dialogue. It explores fundamental questions about the relationship between body schema and body image, and addresses ongoing debates about the role of the brain and the role of social and cultural factors in our understanding of embodiment.
Download or read book Jean Améry written by Yochai Ataria and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-13 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores themes originating from the work of Jean Améry (1912–1978), a Holocaust survivor and essayist—mainly, ethics and the past, torture and its implications, death and suicide. The volume is interdisciplinary, bringing together contributions from philosophy, psychology, law, and literary studies to illuminate each of the topics from more than one angle. Each essay is a novel contribution, shedding new light on the relevant subject matter and on Jean Améry's unique perspective. The ensuing picture is rich and multifaceted, uncovering unforeseen traits of Amery's thought, and surprising correlations that have so far been under-researched. It invites further studies of the Holocaust and its consequences to take their cue from non-neutral first person reflections.
Book Synopsis Non-pharmacological Interventions for Mental Disorders by : Lara Guedes De Pinho
Download or read book Non-pharmacological Interventions for Mental Disorders written by Lara Guedes De Pinho and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-04-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the side effects of the COVID-19 pandemic was the worsening of the symptomatology of mental disorders. The number of people with mental disorders has increased and pre-existing mental disorders have worsened, in many cases. Psychopharmacology alone is not sufficient for the treatment of conditions such as schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder, among others, and the combined use of psychopharmacology and non-pharmacological interventions is recommended by international guidelines. Despite this, most people around the world do not have access to non-pharmacological interventions and when they are diagnosed with a mental disorder, only psychopharmacological drugs are prescribed. In other cases, although non-pharmacological interventions, for example psychotherapy, are also prescribed, this response takes a long time.

Book Synopsis Consciousness in Flesh by : Yochai Ataria
Download or read book Consciousness in Flesh written by Yochai Ataria and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an uncompromising and unapologetic phenomenological study of altered states of consciousness in an attempt to understand the structure of human consciousness. Drawing on the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty, it sets out to decipher the inextricable link between consciousness, body, and world. This link will be established through the presentation of in-depth phenomenological research conducted with former prisoners of war (POWs) and senior meditators. Focusing on two such disparate groups improves our understanding of the nature of the subjective experience in extreme situations – when our sense of boundary is rigid and we are disconnected both from the body and the world (POWs); and when our sense of boundary is fluid and we feel unified with the world (meditators). Based on empirical-phenomenological research, this book will explain how the body that is from the outset thrown into the intersubjective world shapes the structure of consciousness.
Download or read book The Self and Its Disorders written by and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-02 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shaun Gallagher puts forward a pluralist account of the self, and a philosophical account of psychiatric disorders as disorders of the self. He argues that what have been seen as different selves - physical, social, private, extended - should rather be seen as variable factors or processes organized in a certain pattern: this pattern is the self.
Book Synopsis Unorthodox Minds in Contemporary Fiction by : Grzegorz Maziarczyk
Download or read book Unorthodox Minds in Contemporary Fiction written by Grzegorz Maziarczyk and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unorthodox Minds in Contemporary Fiction seeks to provide an overview of the ways in which broadly understood contemporary fiction envisions, explores and engenders minds going beyond the classical models. The opening essay discusses the complex relationships between such innovative concepts of the mind and experimental techniques for presenting mentality. The chapters which follow focus on (dis)embodied and/or extended mind, virtuality of avatar minds, intermental thought of reader communities, the capability of artificial intelligence (and humans) for genuine selfless love, the interplay between technology and affect in posthuman consciousness. The books under discussion include Murmur by Will Eaves, The Unfortunates by B.S. Johnson, The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie, H(A)PPY by Nicola Barker and Machines Like Me by Ian McEwan. A piece of conceptual fiction by Steve Tomasula, one of the most innovative American novelists of our times, exploring the human mind’s alleged power to transcend its biological limits, complements these scholarly inquiries.

Book Synopsis Torture Survivors in Analytic Therapy by : Monica Luci
Download or read book Torture Survivors in Analytic Therapy written by Monica Luci and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-14 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important new book introduces and discusses the underpinning of psychodynamic psychotherapy for torture survivors in a clinical setting and incorporates concepts from analytical psychology and other theoretical bases in order to provide readers with a deeper understanding of this complex trauma. Using the concepts of analytical psychology, relational psychoanalysis, and neuroscience, and relying on the theoretical basis of her book Torture, Psychoanalysis and Human Rights (Routledge, 2017), Luci focuses on three key clinical cases and illustrates the therapeutic paths that the therapeutic dyad explore and experiences in order to get out of the patient’s inner prison created or aggravated by the experience of torture. The book discusses the role of the therapist when working with torture survivors, the requirement of a slow and cautious approach when dealing with such trauma, and the importance of a careful and respectful consideration of issues of identity, politics, and culture. Featuring a useful guide, this book will be of great interest to mental health professionals, psychotherapists and students practicing in services that provide assistance to torture and war trauma survivors.
