Essentials of Gestalt Theoretical Psychotherapy
The Essentials of Gestalt Theoretical Psychotherapy offer for the first time in English an insight into the guiding ideas of this integrative psychotherapy method, which is consistently anchored in Gestalt psychology (and in this respect also differs substantially from most streams of Gestalt therapy, with which it should not be confused). The anthology includes ten contributions by authors from Austria, Italy, Germany and the USA. These deal with fundamental questions and concepts of any psychotherapy: The role and meaning of consistency in practical life and in psychotherapy; the question of human epistemic possibilities and an epistemology appropriate for psychotherapy; the personality theory of Gestalt Theoretical Psychotherapy; the basic principles of therapeutic relationship and practice; the role of emotions in the example of phenomenal causality of feelings; the task of diagnostics in Gestalt Theoretical Psychotherapy; a clinical example related to anorexia; Gestalt psychological viewpoints for therapy progress; the role of relational determination in intrapsychic and interpersonal experience.

Mindfulness and Eating Disorders across the Lifespan
This important and well researched volume examines the clinical phenomenon of eating disorders, exploring their longitudinal risk trajectory and introducing the Mindful Emotion Regulation – Approach (MER-A) as a starting point for intervention. The book reviews various eating problems that can originate from the earliest perinatal phase to early adolescence, and through the MER-A framework focuses on how the principles of mindfulness and the related theoretical and clinical bases underlying the construct of emotional regulation can guide the clinician to a deeper understanding of a patient’s disordered eating. Featuring reflections on clinical cases, it includes coverage of patients’ difficulties in regulating emotions, their relationships with various eating behaviours and their associated interpersonal features. Mindfulness and Eating Disorders across the Lifespan represents an attempt to provide a complete appreciation of this complex and multifaceted topic, making it of great importance to psychotherapists and related mental health professionals working with eating disorders.
Psicologia clinica
Il volume fornisce un panorama aggiornato dei principali aspetti teorici, formativi e di ricerca che attualmente caratterizzano la psicologia clinica in Italia. I diversi contributi presentati nelle prime 4 sezioni (Prospettive e dibattiti; Le psicoterapie: sviluppi ed innovazioni; Psicologia clinica, psicoterapia e ricerca; La dimensione formativa in psicologia clinica ) rappresentano il frutto di un dialogo e di un confronto che si è articolato nel tempo fra alcuni dei principali studiosi italiani. Lo spirito che accomuna i diversi capitoli deriva dalla considerazione che la psicologia clinica implica una clinica essenzialmente psicologica, caratterizzata da metodiche atte a comprendere ed eventualmente modificare stati mentali, schemi di comportamento e sistemi di relazione. Nella sezione quinta In dialogo con altre discipline vengono riportati i contributi della filosofia del linguaggio ed alcune nuove proposte metodologiche sugli studi osservazionali. I diversi capitoli del volume offrono un aggiornato panorama delle principali tematiche che caratterizzano le attuali prospettive della psicologia clinica.
The Emergent Self
This book tracks a particular understanding of self, philosophically, from research evidence and in its implications for psychotherapy. At each step, the author includes first the theory he is working from, then the clinical implications of the theory, followed by some links to the philosophical outlook inherent in the theory, and finally a more extended case example.It takes the view that the continuing self is partly an illusion, partly a construct, and that we in fact have to work to stay the same in the face of all the different possibilities the world offers us. The author believes that we do this for two reasons. First of all, continuity allows deeper contact: friendships, loving relationships with partners and families. Secondly, and balancing this, the predictable is less anxiety-producing, and that we avoid this existential anxiety by acting in a stereotyped way and avoiding some of the depths of contact.
