Treating Comorbid Substance Use and Emotional Disorders
This book highlights the prevalence of emotional disorder and substance use disorder comorbidity and effective approaches to managing these co-existing problems. As substance use disorder is twice as likely to co-exist with an anxiety disorder, and three times as likely to co-occur with a mood disorder, treatment is a complicated challenge. This book describes cutting-edge clinical research paired with data-driven treatment guidelines, providing an integrated approach to treatment that targets both issues to improve clinical outcomes. This book outlines how fully integrated treatment for these common comorbidities can address barriers and reduce symptoms more effectively than simply addressing substance use disorder. It is an invaluable resource for clinicians and researchers alike.
Anxiety and Substance Use Disorders
Disorders of anxiety and substance use are, for some reason, rarely treated in an integrated fashion by professionals. This timely volume addresses this glaring omission with dispatches from the frontlines of research and treatment. Thirty-four international experts offer findings, theories, and intervention strategies for this common form of dual disorder, across a range of substances and of anxiety disorders, to give the reader comprehensive knowledge in a practical format.
Pain without Boundaries: Inquiries across Cultures
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2014. From medicine to music, from art to medical humanities, from psychology to writing and rhetoric, these chapters explore pain—what it is, how it affects us, how we think about it, how we express it, and how we can transform it. Using diverse methods and points of view, these journeys into pain are divided into four sections. In Section I, Pain and Thinking, the authors focus on fundamental thinking processes when experiencing and communicating about pain. Section II, Contemplating Pain, addresses the different ways that we reflect upon the nature of pain, itself. Offering responses to the fundamental question, “What do we do with pain?” the collective answer in Section III, Creating from Pain, is that we construct something from it—that we use pain as material for creative acts. Finally, in Section IV, Personalizing Pain, the authors explore pain within the boundaries of our personal selfhood.
Intensive One-Session Treatment of Specific Phobias
Whether it’s dogs, spiders, blood, heights or some other fear, specific phobias are one of the most prevalent mental health problems, affecting as many as one in eight people. In recent years, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has emerged as particularly effective in treating young people and adults with specific phobias. And of these methods, one-session treatment stands out as a long-lasting, cost-effective intervention of choice. Intensive One-Session Treatment of Specific Phobias not only provides a summary of the evidence base, it also serves as a practical reference and training guide. This concise volume examines the phenomenology, epidemiology, and etiology of phobias, laying the ...
Violence in the Contemporary World: An Interdisciplinary Approach
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2014. Understanding violence in the context of the contemporary world leads us to an infinite number of viewpoints and theoretical frameworks. Not only the study of violence has been largely split into specific groups, but at the same time different disciplines seem to have assumed the existence of a peaceful society in which violence occurs only in specific places and events - including armed conflicts, civil unrest and violent crime. However, it is a slippery concept that transcends unstable limits between public and private, legitimacy and illegitimacy, individual and collective spheres. Taking an interdisciplinary approach to the concept of violence in the contemporary world, we present a collection of seventeen chapters, organized in four sections: Sexualised and Intimate Partner Violence: encouraging disclosure; Urban Violence: crime and fear in the contemporary world; Representing violence: a critical analysis; Violence and Political destabilization: war, elections and corporations.
Violence: Probing the Boundaries around the World
In Violence: Probing the Boundaries around the World the contributors analyse implicitly and explicitly the conceptualisation of violent processes across the world, as well as the circumstances that enable them to exist, and open ways to imagine valuable interventions. This collection of articles presented on the 11th Global Conference in Prague makes clear how fascinating violence is, and how difficult to cope with and to initiate changes. Through explicit thinking, the book opens ways to develop and to plan relevant initiatives and valuable interventions that are culture sensitive.
Production Dynamics for Life Quality in the Incipient 21st Century
This book addresses the life quality of the average adult in the world, based on international data weighted according to national population size. It rests on the theoretical framework of analytic-functionalism to explain statics and dynamics in the production of life quality. The statics means the influences of personal and national factors on life quality, whereas the dynamics mean the changes in the influences over time. This approach elucidates life quality at the personal level rather than at the national level, which overlooks what happens to the average person living in the world. The approach involves a broad view of the production of life quality, including experiences, practices, and appraisals of life. This production also involves personal background characteristics and the national indicators of modernization, globalization, and environmental issues. Knowledge about the production is helpful for policymakers, researchers, students, and other people to upgrade life quality. Such knowledge is valuable because it is up-to-date, generalizable, and sensible based on the analytic-functionalist theoretical framework and statistical estimation.
The Sage Encyclopedia of Mood and Anxiety Disorders
Courses in psychological distress and disorders are among the most popular courses in psychology programs, and mood and anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent disorders covered in these classes and encountered by mental health professionals. Although there are books on mood and anxiety disorders, on particular aspects of them, and on their presentation in specific populations, such works do not provide students new to the field with a comprehensive and accessible ready reference for understanding these disorders with respect to their phenomenology, etiology, and treatment, and through an inclusive lens that consistently considers how these symptoms appear and are construed across cul...
