Velhice bem-sucedida

Ao contrário do que comumente se pensa, na velhice, o ser humano preserva capacidades intelectuais e afetivas. O indivíduo e o ambiente podem favorecer a continuidade e o aprimoramento do funcionamento intelectual e afetivo mediante o estímulo à produtividade e à flexibilidade, valorizando o envolvimento social, os cuidados com a saúde e o comprometimento com a vida. Esse livro trata das alterações em processos básicos e em comportamentos intelectuais e afetivos que estão associados ao envelhecimento e propõe táticas de avaliação, de treinamento e de reabilitação cujo escopo é a melhoria da qualidade de vida dos idosos. - Papirus Editora

Amidst the Flow

This book presents data and discusses the results of research conducted on crack cocaine consumption and other drug use in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, specifically in the area commonly referred to as "Cracolândia" ("Crackland"). This context is marked by high social vulnerability, rife with numerous inequalities, violence, and human rights violations. The work describes the living conditions of individuals in this setting, narrating their social trajectories, urban itineraries, motivations for substance use, perspectives, and life projects. The book provokes a crucial debate concerning the iatrogenic effects resulting from prohibitionist-repressive "war on drugs" policies. It highlights potential alternative paths for formulating and implementing public policies and psychosocial interventions. 'Amidst the Flow' serves as a valuable resource for researchers and professionals in the fields of addiction studies, healthcare, sociology, law, and drug policy-making. It presents a compelling call for a paradigm shift in drug policies.

Mental Healthcare in Brazilian Spiritism: The Aesthetics of Healing

This volume addresses the diversification of mental healthcare provision and patients’ health-seeking behavior by putting Brazilian Spiritism and its translocal relations at the center of its inquiry. Comparative chapters document and critically assess the affective arrangements of Spiritist spaces in Brazil and Germany and how practices contribute to healing and the diversification of a globally circulating mental health agenda. The book addresses the human experience within Spiritist psychiatric clinics and affiliated Spiritist centers in Brazil, which in migratory contexts also have connections to Germany. Chapters interrogate the spaces where people inside and outside Brazil engage in ...

  • Publisher: Springer

This book is open access under a CC BY license and explores the under-researched history of male mental illness from the mid-twentieth century. It argues that statistics suggesting women have been more vulnerable to depression and anxiety are misleading since they underplay a host of alternative presentations of 'distress' more common in men.

Verificationism is the first comprehensive history of a concept that dominated philosophy and scientific methodology between the 1930s and the 1960s. The verificationist principle - the concept that a belief with no connection to experience is spurious - is the most sophisticated version of empiricism. More flexible ideas of verification are now being rehabilitated by a number of philosophers. C.J. Misak surveys the precursors, the main proponents and the rehabilitators. Unlike traditional studies, she follows verificationist theory beyond the demise of positivism to examine its reappearance in the work of modern philosophers. Most interestingly, she argues that despite feminism's strenuous opposition to positivism, verificationist thought is at the heart of much of contemporary feminist philosophy. Verificationism is an excellent assessment of a major and influential system of thought.

Guyana: from Slavery to the Present

It is common knowledge that slavery and indenture were characterized by long hours of physical labor, restriction of movement and other basic human freedoms, and severe punishment for violations of draconian labor laws. Less well known is the fact that nutrition was very deficient and a range of infectious diseases maimed, debilitated and killed on a large scale. In trying to narrow the knowledge gap with respect to Guyana, Ramesh Gampat shows that extremely poor sanitary conditions, awful hygiene and malnutrition hastened widespread infections and created a vicious cycle. The British protected its own soldiers, officials and colonists by establishing a medical enclave that lasted until Eman...

Neuroimaging of Affective Empathy and Emotional Communication

A recent explosion of research, both with neurotypical adults and individuals with brain lesions, has been devoted to delineating the auditory, cognitive, and motor processes underpinning affective empathy and emotional communication. This Research Topic highlights this line of investigation by bringing together a methodologically diverse range of neuroimaging studies that further advance our knowledge of the precise neural mechanisms by which these critical aspects of human interaction are accomplished, how they break down after brain damage, and how they recover, laying the groundwork for developing effective interventions for people with deficits in these functions.

Psicóloga e Paciente

“Tem uma pitada de humor que muda tudo. Ri, levantei a mão, fiquei melancólica e no fim, quase saí correndo para fazer terapia. A gente precisa de gente, mas precisa de um livro que nos lembre de ser gente. Quando sai o segundo? Porque fiquei órfã.” Bárbara Genoud/Acadêmica de Psicologia “E o mais importante: o orgulho (que mesmo sempre presente), ganhou um brilho extra hoje, aquele orgulho e paixão que tenho pela minha profissão! Que coisa mais linda pedir licença para entrar no solo sagrado do outro, ser acolhido e ajudar com a faxina!” Natália Carvalho Psicóloga Clínica e professora da Uniserra CRP/MT - 18/01347 “Na verdade, quem não conhece a terapia, cria um monstro ao redor dela.” Deise Dornellas/Bancária
