Treating Affect Phobia
This hands-on manual from Leigh McCullough and associates teaches the nuts and bolts of practicing short-term dynamic psychotherapy, the research-supported model first presented in Changing Character, McCullough's foundational text. Reflecting the ongoing evolution of the approach, the manual emphasizes "affect phobia," or conflict about feelings. It shows how such proven behavioral techniques as systemic desensitization can be applied effectively within a psychodynamic framework, and offers clear guidelines for when and how to intervene. Demonstrated are procedures for assessing patients, formulating core conflicts, and restructuring defenses, affects, and relationship to the self and others. In an easy-to-use, large-size format, the book features a wealth of case examples and write-in exercises for building key clinical skills. The companion website (www.affectphobiatherapy.com) offers useful supplemental resources, including Psychotherapy Assessment Checklist (PAC) forms and instructions.
The Opposite of Worry
“The most helpful book on childhood anxiety I have ever read.”—Michael Thompson, Ph.D. Whether it’s the monster in the closet or the fear that arises from new social situations, school, or sports, anxiety can be especially challenging and maddening for children. And since anxiety has a mind of its own, logic and reassurance often fail, leaving parents increasingly frustrated about how to help. Now Lawrence J. Cohen, Ph.D., the author of Playful Parenting, provides a special set of tools to handle childhood anxiety. Offering simple, effective strategies that build connection through fun, play, and empathy, Dr. Cohen helps parents • start from a place of warmth, compassion, and under...

Dargestellt werden die theoretischen Grundlagen, Diagnostik und Formulierung der Psychodynamik sowie die Umstrukturierung der Abwehr, der Affekte und der Selbst- und Objektvorstellungen.

Le paure segrete dei bambini
Le rassicurazioni razionali spesso falliscono di fronte alla logica della paura: il risultato sono genitori frustrati – perché si sentono incapaci di aiutare i loro figli – e preoccupati – perché non fanno che interrogarsi sul futuro dei loro bambini. Attraverso la connessione, il gioco e l’empatia, Lawrence J. Cohen guida i genitori a insegnare ai loro figli a gestire adeguatamente il “sistema di sicurezza” di cui sono dotati, a far crescere la loro soglia di tolleranza delle situazioni che generano incertezza o disagio, ad allentare la tensione e a favorire la calma nei momenti difficili. Bambini che hanno paura dell’acqua, del buio o di sbagliare; bambini riluttanti a provare qualcosa di nuovo, insicuri nelle scelte, che temono di stare da soli o di stare con altri: le paure dei bambini hanno volti diversi. E, sia che prendano le sembianze di un mostro nell’armadio, sia che nascano da nuove situazioni sociali, con gli amichetti, a scuola o nelle competizioni, l’ansia che li assale è esasperante.
AIDS Pathogenesis
Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus is characterized by the destruction of the host immune system as also reflected by a progressive loss of CD4-positive T-cells. This finally results in the host's incapacity to deal with opportunistic infections and the immune surveillance of tumors, a clinical status known as the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The book AIDS Pathogenesis provides the reader with a complete overview of the clinical course of HIV-1 infection. It describes the clinical aspects of primary infection, the different clinical outcomes of HIV-1 infection, and strategies for anti-viral treatment. In addition, more fundamental aspects of HIV-1 infection are reviewed. These include the biology of the virus and the novel insights in AIDS pathogenesis. Not only is the significance of an HIV-specific cellular and humoral immune response discussed, but also the possible incapacity of the adult human host to deal with T-cell destruction. Finally, the book discusses the currently used laboratory markers that allow for monitoring of the clinical course of infection.
Transvestism, Masculinity, and Latin American Literature
This book is about transvestism and the performance of gender in Latin American literature and culture. Ben. Sifuentes-Jáuregui explores the figure of the transvestite and his/her relation to the body through a series of canonical Latin American texts. By analyzing works by Alejo Carpentier, José Donoso, Severo Sarduy and Manuel Puig (author of Kiss of the Spiderwoma n), alongside critical works in gender studies and queer theory, Sifuentes-Jáuregui shows how transvestism operates not only to destabilize, but often to affirm sexual, gender, national and political identities.
Globalization, Technological Change, and Public Education
Globalization, Technological Change, and Public Education documents the dramatic changes taking place in public education through the incorporation of new information technologies. These additions to the public school environment have generally been seen as enabling tools to help students and nations compete in the global marketplace. Yet a closer look at the interplay of technological change and organizational restructuring suggests the emergence of new, less promising power relations. Through detailed ethnographic research and interviews in the Los Angeles public school system, Torin Monahan reveals how, with few exceptions, these changes to the educational process are forcing both students and workers to adapt to systems that are ever more rigid and controlling.
