Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La introduccion y los veintiun capitulos de este libro reflejan el continuo desarrollo y perfeccionamiento de Psicoterapia Relacional e Integrativa. Cada capitulo fusiona las ideas de varios marcos teoricos: terapia centrada en cliente, terapia gestalt, analisis transaccional, el psicoanalisis contemporaneo, y psicoterapia auto-psicologia, asi como las perspectivas inter-subjetivas y co-creativo.La teoria de la "Guion de Vida" sirve como un tema unificador para la elaboracion de los conceptos de la experiencia inconsciente, el apego y patrones relacionales, la esencialidad de contacto en la relacion, y la centralidad de las necesidades relacionales en la practica de la psicoterapia. Este libro comienza con ocho supuestos filosoficos, esenciales en la practica de una psicoterapia relacional. Integrado a lo largo de los capitulos es una sensibilidad a los procesos normales del desarrollo y las compensaciones psicologicas que se producen cuando ha habido abandono prolongado y el trauma psicologico. Varias presentaciones de casos ilustran el uso de la investigacion fenomenologica e historica, la sintonia y del desarrollo ritmica, y la importancia de la presencia terapeutica.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psicoterapia integrativa: una aproximación a la práctica clínica basada en evidencias es un reflejo de lo que los psicoterapeutas y orientadores psicológicos actuales buscan: una compilación de los recursos más efectivos, entrelazados con un sentido teórico fundamentado para comprender los procesos de intervención en diferentes poblaciones desde el enfoque integrativo para que pueda darle tanto al paciente como al psicoterapeuta una serie de solu­ciones en conjunto. La búsqueda de integración cubre una amplia gama de estrategias que le confiere características tanto de amplitud y flexibilidad conceptual. Los distintos trabajos pueden agruparse en tres líneas principales: a) factores comunes, b) integración técnica y c) integración teórica. Un programa para integrar la psicoterapia no debe entenderse como una tarea con fines conclusivos, sino como una persistente manera de responder a las nuevas interrogantes que suscita la disciplina. El libro es respuesta a los obstáculos y limitaciones que se han encontrado en las intervenciones psico­terapéuticas, así como a la identificación de puentes de asociación muy firmes entre enunciados procedentes de distintos modelos teóricos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Con más de 2.000 referencias bibliográficas, entre revistas científicas, libros, y artículos de prensa, este libro comprende buena parte de la evidencia de más de un siglo de psicología y psicoterapia. Paralelamente, el libro busca guiar al lector a través de sus páginas de manera amena y motivante, con cercanía conversacional y fluidez de escritura. Una lectura de la mayor importancia para la psicoterapia contemporánea. En “Psicoterapia Integrativa EIS: Profundizando la Comprensión, Potenciando el Cambio” el psicólogo chileno Roberto Opazo (Premio Sigmund Freud, 2005) propone un enfoque integrativo de la psicoterapia, fundamentado desde una extensa sistematización de datos empíricos. Como su título señala, este proyecto tiene como fundamental propósito aumentar las probabilidades de generar cambios terapéuticos significativos en los pacientes, a la vez de aumentar nuestro entendimiento de las problemáticas que los aquejan. En la búsqueda por establecer los lineamientos de su Psicoterapia Integrativa, Opazo estructura su propuesta entorno a cinco grandes desafíos. En primer lugar, busca desarrollar una nueva teoría, global, unificadora, capaz de explicar la dinámica psicológica: una “teoría práctica”, que aporte lineamientos para la práctica clínica, y que sea compatible también con los datos válidos existentes; capaz de acogerlos y sistematizarlos, libre de reduccionismos. En segundo lugar, el autor busca “humanizar” el principio de causalidad, identificando factores reguladores, o “principios de influencia” que afectan el funcionamiento y el significado que las personas le dan a su experiencia, y que aumentan nuestras capacidades de predicción. En tercer lugar, la propuesta busca aportar una guía para la investigación y la generación de conocimiento, que permita superar el “allegiance effect”, la tendencia de los clínicos a encontrar “evidencias” en favor de su propio enfoque. Como cuarto desafío, Opazo propone una forma de identificar, seleccionar y clasificar el conocimiento válido en psicoterapia, posibilitando su acumulación organizada y funcional. Finalmente, y como culminación de todo lo anterior, la propuesta busca romper finalmente con el empate entre los distintos enfoques, aquello conocido como “veredicto del Dodo” en la literatura psicoterapéutica.

Book excerpt: Amparado en un abundante material clínico, Javier Castillo Colomer propone un modelo funcional y pragmático, que facilita el tratamiento de casos clínicos graves y presenta herramientas terapéuticas de gran utilidad, tanto para el profesional ya formado como para el iniciado. La psicoterapia integrativa moderna es un modelo terapéutico que combina los conceptos y herramientas de diferentes tradiciones clínicas, como son el psicoanálisis contemporáneo, la psicología analítica junguiana, la práctica experiencial y humanista, la terapéutica cognitivo-conductual y la psicología existencial. Pero no se trata de una mera yuxtaposición de técnicas dispersas, sino de la creación de un nuevo orden en el que las nociones de las principales escuelas ocupan un lugar variable en función de las necesidades de cada paciente. Partiendo de una terminología más precisa y unos criterios clínicos más desarrollados, basados en la amplia trayectoria profesional del autor, este libro desarrolla en profundidad el enfoque integrativo y lo complementa con un modelo dimensional que le permite describir la realidad psíquica en diversos planos autónomos, pero que, al mismo tiempo, participan de una totalidad que crea estructuras y subestructuras de alta complejidad.

Book excerpt: Este libro excepcional ofrece una imagen de vanguardia sobre el Trastorno de Ansiedad Generalizada (TAG). Sus editores han reunido un grupo de expertos internacionales quienes, desde puntos de vista diferentes, discuten modelos conceptuales, pautas de evaluación y estrategias de tratamiento basados en la evidencia. "El libro contiene capítulos con una variedad de temas incluyendo la evolución histórica del diagnóstico y de los modelos conceptuales sobre el TAG, la discusión de abordajes actuales de tratamiento psicológico y farmacológico del TAG, la presentación de un caso clínico ilustrativo y un capítulo sobre el uso de estrategias clínicas como la identificación de variables moderadoras, mediadoras y de proceso para adaptar el abordaje hacia cada paciente y optimizar la eficacia del tratamiento. Una obra de lectura obligatoria para psicólogos clínicos con interés en mejorar su capacidad para evaluar, comprender y tratar personas que sufren de TAG." Jesús A. Salas (Psy.D. ABPP ACT. 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."

This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent evidence has shown that the successful setting of goals brings about positive outcomes in psychological therapy. Goals help to focus and direct clients' and therapists' attention in therapeutic work. They also engender hope and help energise clients. No longer are clients victims of their circumstances, but through goal setting they become people who have the potential to act towards and achieve their desired futures. Through the discussing and setting of goals, clients develop a deeper insight into what it is that they really want in life: a crucial first step towards being able to get there. Recent policies in both child and adult mental health services have supported the use of goals in therapy. However, the differing cultures, histories, psychologies, and philosophical assumptions of each form of therapy has brought about varying attitudes and approaches to goal setting. Working with Goals in Counselling and Psychotherapy brings the attitudes of all the major therapeutic orientations together in one volume. With examples from cognitive behaviour therapy, psychodynamic therapy, humanistic therapy, interpersonal therapy, and systemic therapy Working with Goals in Counselling and Psychotherapy truly is the definitive guide for therapists seeking to work with goals in any of the psychological therapies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking volume provides readers with both an overview of harm reduction therapy and a series of ten case studies, treated by different therapists, that vividly illustrate this treatment approach with a wide variety of clients. Harm reduction is a framework for helping drug and alcohol users who cannot or will not stop completely—the majority of users—reduce the harmful consequences of use. Harm reduction accepts that abstinence may be the best outcome for many but relaxes the emphasis on abstinence as the only acceptable goal and criterion of success. Instead, smaller incremental changes in the direction of reduced harmfulness of drug use are accepted. This book will show how these simple changes in emphasis and expectation have dramatic implications for improving the effectiveness of psychotherapy in many ways. From the Foreword by Alan Marlatt, Ph.D.: “This ground-breaking volume provides readers with both an overview of harm reduction therapy and a series of ten case studies, treated by different therapists, that vividly illustrate this treatment approach with a wide variety of clients. In his introduction, Andrew Tatarsky describes harm reduction as a new paradigm for treating drug and alcohol problems. Some would say that harm reduction embraces a paradigm shift in addiction treatment, as it has moved the field beyond the traditional abstinence-only focus typically associated with the disease model and the ideology of the twelve-step approach. Others may conclude that the move toward harm reduction represents an integration of what Dr. Tatarsky describes as the “basic principles of good clinical practice” into the treatment of addictive behaviors. “Changing addiction behavior is often a complex and complicated process for both client and therapist. What seems to work best is the development of a strong therapeutic alliance, the right fit between the client and treatment provider. The role of the harm reduction therapist is closer to that of a guide, someone who can provide support an

Book excerpt: Life Scripts: A Transactional Analysis of Unconscious Relational Patterns is an exciting collection of contemporary writings on Life Script theory and psychotherapeutic methods. Each chapter describes an evolution of Eric Berne's original theory and brings together a stimulating range of international perspectives, theoretical positions, clinical experiences and psychotherapy practices, as well as a psychotherapy story that illustrates the theory. The concept of Life Scripts has frequently been associated with the determinism represented in theoretical scripts, yet, this book offers some new and diverse perspectives. A few contributors address the significance of early childhood experiences in forming a Life Script, while others reflect the perspectives of post-modernism, constructivism, existential philosophy, neuroscience, developmental research, mythology and the importance of narrative.An illustrious group of authors has integrated a broad professional perspective into their understanding of a theory of mind, theories of personality and the methods of psychotherapy. Each chapter provides a unique theoretical perspective; some are provocative and challenge Berne's and others long held notions about Life Scripts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by leaders in the field of relational integrative psychotherapy, this book offers trainees and experienced therapists a methodology for assisting people in rediscovering their ability to maintain genuine relationships and, thus, better psychological health. This classic edition includes a new preface by Richard G. Erskine that reflects on changes in the field since the book’s first publication. Drawing from Rogers' client-centered therapy, Berne's transactional analysis, Perls' Gestalt therapy, Kohut's self-psychology, and the work of British object-relations theorists, this book accessibly introduces the authors’ Keyhole theory while using real life interchanges between therapists and clients to illustrate key concepts. The second part of the book details the application of this method in therapy work and provides transcripts from seven therapy sessions. These include examples of relational psychotherapy, psychotherapeutic regression, working with a parental introject, couple psychotherapy, as well as detailed explanations of the therapeutic methods. An undoubtable classic, the book’s conversational style makes the theory and methods of a relationally based integrative psychotherapy come alive. This versatile approach to therapy promises to be effective across a wide range of therapeutic situations, making this a valuable book for both students and practicing clinicians throughout the spectrum of mental healthcare providers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is integrative psychotherapy? How effective is the integrative approach to therapy? And what are its limitations? Answering these and other significant questions, this insightful volume provides the working clinician with a practical guide to using an integrative approach to psychotherapy. Erskine and Moursund, both experienced psychotherapists, begin their discussion with a masterful theoretical overview which integrates diverse concepts from various therapy techniques such as psychoanalysis, client-centred therapy, and Gestalt therapy. The authors then use transcripts of actual therapeutic sessions (with explanatory comments interjected) to provide the reader with a broader understanding of both theory and its application in therapy - and to capture some of the elusive essence of the ongoing therapy interview. Unique in its attention to detail, as well as to the therapist's own decision-making process, advanced students and therapists alike will find this volume an invaluable resource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction and the twenty-one chapters in this book reflect the ongoing development and refinement of Relational and Integrative Psychotherapy. Each chapter amalgamates ideas from several theoretical frame works: Client-Centred Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Contemporary Psychoanalysis, and Psychoanalytic Self-Psychology, as well as inter-subjective and co-creative perspectives.The theory of 'Life Script' serves as a unifying theme to elaborate the concepts of unconscious experience, attachment and relational patterns, the essentialness of contact-in-relationship, and the centrality of relational-needs in the practice of psychotherapy. This book begins with eight philosophical assumptions essential in the practice of a relational psychotherapy. Integrated throughout the chapters is a sensitivity to both normal developmental processes and the psychological compensations that occur when there has been prolonged neglect and psychological trauma. Several case presentations illustrate the use of phenomenological and historical inquiry, developmental and rhythmic attunement, and the importance of therapeutic presence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Healing Relationship is about a relationally focused psychotherapy, how the author works, and why. The first couple of chapters provide a brief orientation to relationally focused aspects of an integrative psychotherapy. The heart of the book are the transaction-by-transaction examples of what actually occurred in the psychotherapeutic dialogue. It is composed of three verbatim transcripts along with annotations about what the author was thinking and feeling when he engaged in psychotherapy with each client. Many of the annotated comments as well as the actual therapeutic dialogue will describe some elements of the process of relationally focused psychotherapy and the reasoning behind his therapeutic comments, silences, and challenge. This book is intended to elicit a dialogue between the reader and the psychotherapist / author and is written as though a personal letter. Psychotherapy is such an interpersonal encounter - an intimate meeting of two souls. No two psychotherapists will ever do the same therapy, even with the same client, even if they use the same theory and methods. It is important to appreciate how each think about theories, the concepts that underlie the methods chosen, how each assess the therapeutic setting, and express personal temperament. Richard G. Erskine has taken an important step in communication about the practice of psychotherapy. Not only with this excellent book but also with video footage of the three therapy sessions, which will be made accessible to purchasers of the book. The overarching aim is to stimulate important conversations between colleagues; to both agree and disagree, to influence each other, to grow professionally, and to share knowledge.
