Este libro aúna conocimientos teóricos y prácticos adquiridos en la experiencia que los autores tienen como psicólogos clínicos y en su propia práctica del mindfulness (conciencia plena) y la meditación. Propone un enfoque transicional entre una psicología basada en el modelo de cambio individual y otra orientada a la autoaceptación, con el convencimiento de que cultivar cualidades y emociones positivas es un buen tratamiento para el sufrimiento mental. Farriols y Aliaga integran el mindfulness, la psicología aplicada y las actitudes éticas asociadas: humildad,paciencia,generosidad, altruismo, ecuanimidad, satisfacción y alegría. A partir de una estructura que alterna teoría y práctica —con ejercicios y audios que facilitan la integración de los aprendizajes—, esta obra no solo se dirige a profesionales de la salud mental sino también a quienes quieran ahondar en el autoconocimiento y vislumbrar algunas de las actitudes que dan sentido a la vida humana.
Psicoterapias humanistas
En este libro se hace un recorrido por las psicoterapias humanistas que, en el extenso mapa de las psicoterapias, han significado: a) la capacidad para romper los esquemas vigentes sobre la concepción del ser humano en el momento en que nació, al entenderlo como una globalidad bio-psico-socio-espiritual unificada y única; b) la creatividad a la hora de desarrollar métodos de intervención novedosos y efectivos sobre cada uno de los subsistemas que integran la compleja unidad del sujeto; c) la concepción del proceso psicoterapéutico como la experiencia de un encuentro profundo, respetuoso y cálido entre dos personas iguales y expertas (cada una en sus ámbitos respectivos), experiencia que genera salud mental y crecimiento personal y social; y d) la importancia dada a la investigación, el desarrollo y la concreción de los requisitos del vínculo terapéutico –base en la que se apoya todo el proceso– para que este sea efectivo. Sus aportaciones han enriquecido el conjunto de modelos psicoterapéuticos vigentes y continúan siendo imprescindibles en el desarrollo de la psicoterapia.

Schizo-Obsessive Disorder
This is the first book to address the clinical and neurobiological interface between schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). There is growing evidence that obsessive-compulsive symptoms in schizophrenia are prevalent, persistent and characterized by a distinct pattern of familial inheritance, neurocognitive deficits and brain activation. This text provides guidelines for differential diagnosis of schizophrenic patients with obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and patients with primary OCD alongside poor insight, psychotic features or schizotypal personality. Written by a leading expert in the coexistence of obsessive-compulsive and schizophrenic phenomena, Schizo-Obsessive Disorder uses numerous case studies to present diagnostic guidelines and to describe a recommended treatment algorithm, demystifying this complex disorder and aiding its effective management.

Development of Self-Determination Through the Life-Course
This volume examines the developmental aspects of the general psychological construct of self-determination. The term refers to self- (vs. other-) caused action—to people acting volitionally—as based on their own will. Research conducted in the fields of psychology and education shows the importance of self-determination to adolescent development and positive adult outcomes. The first part of this volume presents an overview of theories and historical antecedents of the construct. It looks at the role of self-determination in major theories of human agentic behavior and of adolescent development and individuation. The second part of the volume examines the developmental origins and the trajectory of self-determination in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, and looks as aging aspects. The next part presents studies on the evolutionary aspects, individual differences and healthy psychological development. The last part of the book covers the development of causal and agentic capability.
