This book describes theory and techniques of empathic communication, normalization and de-escalation procedures for the management of aggressive or violent patients in clinical critical settings'. Consisting of 9 chapters, it discusses in detail the self-regulation of empathy in potential dangerous interactions, as well as common mistakes and nonprofessional reactions. It also explores the basic concept of neurobiology of violence and aggression behaviour, such as brain circuitry and neuromodulators, and other rapid tranquillization guidelines. The final chapter focuses on the crucial topics of post-aggression debriefing.Based on the clinical experience of the editors and authors, who work in emergency psychiatry settings, the book offers practical key expressions to promote a normalization talk, to calm agitated individuals, and to prevent crises both for psychiatric patients and people without mental disorders. It is a useful tool to help readers gain confidence as mediators in critical circumstances and will be of interest for a wide range of practitioners in healthcare settings, from psychiatrists and psychologists, to nurses and other healthcare workers.
This book presents an innovative approach to clinical assessment in psychiatry based on a number of psychopathological dimensions with a presumed underlying pathophysiology, that are related to fundamental phenomenological aspects and lie on a continuum from normality to pathology. It is described how the evaluation of these dimensions with a specific, validated rapid assessment instrument could easily integrate and enrich the classical diagnostic DSM-5 or ICD-10 assessment. The supplemental use of this dimensional approach can better capture the complexity underlying current categories of mental illness. The findings from a large patient sample suggest how this assessment could give a first...

Mit Psychotherapie das Immunsystem gezielt beeinflussen Nerven-, Hormon- und Immunsystem beeinflussen sich wechselseitig – hierfür liegen inzwischen zahlreiche Belege vor. Das Ganze ist jedoch viel komplizierter, denn auch Psyche und soziales Umfeld haben Einfluss auf das Immunsystem. Die Vielfalt all dieser Interaktionen formt so ein komplexes Netzwerk, das entscheidend auf die Immunaktivität einwirkt. Ist auf dieser Basis aber auch eine gezielte Beeinflussung der Immunaktivität durch psychologische und psychotherapeutische Interventionen möglich? Eine spannende Frage, die von der Psychoneuroimmunologie mit einem eindeutigen Ja beantwortet wird – und deren differenzierte Beantwortun...
Nerven-, Hormon- und Immunsystem beeinflussen sich wechselseitig - hierfür liegen inzwischen zahlreiche Belege vor. Das Ganze ist jedoch weitaus komplizierter, denn auch Psyche und soziales Umfeld haben Einfluss auf das Immunsystem. Die Vielfalt all dieser Interaktionen formt so ein komplexes Netzwerk, das entscheidend auf die Immunaktivität einwirkt. Ist aber auf dieser Basis eine gezielte Beeinflussung der Immunaktivität durch psychologische und psychotherapeutische Interventionen möglich? Eine spannende Frage, die von der Psychoneuroimmunologie (PNI) mit einem eindeutigen Ja beantwortet wird - und deren differenzierte Beantwortung in diesem Werk auch Erklärungsmodelle dafür liefert, wie Psychotherapie körperlich kranke Menschen wieder gesund machen kann.
Lo scopo di questo manuale, scritto da autori con specifiche competenze di clinica, didattica e ricerca, è quello di spiegare allo studente di medicina quali sono gli strumenti diagnostici che consentono di indirizzare il paziente dallo specialista. Oggi la psichiatria non costituisce più una branca medica separata dalla medicina, questo luogo comune è stato infatti superato sia dalla spinta legislativa sanitaria che ha portato le persone affette da disturbi mentali a curarsi nell'ospedale generale e nella comunità, sia dalla crescente documentazione di una strettissima relazione tra disturbi mentali e disturbi somatici.
