This book offers a deep exploration of the neurobiological mechanisms behind EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, a revolutionary approach for treating psychological trauma. Drawing from the latest scientific research and clinical experience, it explains how EMDR influences brain structures, neural networks, and genetic dimensions to promote recovery. The book delves into trauma’s impact on the brain, the integration of memories, and how EMDR therapy fosters healing by activating the brain’s natural adaptive information processing (AIP) system. Written in a clear and accessible style, this work is ideal for both clinicians and anyone interested in understanding the science behind trauma recovery. It addresses complex concepts in a way that is easy to grasp, making it a valuable resource for both professionals and non-professionals seeking to comprehend the power of EMDR therapy. Whether you are a therapist or someone curious about psychological trauma and recovery, this book provides vital insights into how EMDR can change lives by rewiring the brain.
Schema Therapy combines proven cognitive behavioral therapy techniques with elements of interpersonal, experiential, and psychodynamic therapies in order to help people with long-term mental health problems including personality disorders and chronic depression. Schema Therapy suggests that many negative cognitive conditions are based on past experiences, and therefore provides models for challenging and modifying negative thoughts and behaviors in order to provoke change. In this book, Eshkol Rafaeli, David P. Bernstein and Jeffrey Young – pioneers of the Schema Therapy approach – indicate the 30 distinctive features of Schema Therapy, and how the method fits into the broader CBT spectrum. Divided into two parts, Theoretical Points and Practical Points, this book provides a concise introduction for those new to the technique, as well as a discussion of how it differs from the other cognitive behavioral therapies for those experienced in the field.

Since the mid-1980s, when stories of ritualized satanic or sadistic abuse drastically increased, ritual abuse has become entangled in the controversy surrounding false memory syndrome and recovered memory. Because this debate has not been conclusively resolved, therapists require methods and guidelines for treating patients who present a history that may involve abusive satanic or sadistic rituals. In The Dilemma of Ritual Abuse, experts in the field offer balanced, carefully considered advice on approaches therapists can use when patients report they have experienced ritual abuse. These qualified clinicians explain and demonstrate their techniques and offer caveats against accepting a patient's recollections at face value. Additional chapters deal with psychological and pharmacological treatment programs that have helped patients whether the reports of abuse were accurate, symbolic, or false. Several illustrations vividly depict the types of abuse that therapists will hear from these patients. For further guidance, an appendix containing the American Psychiatric Association Board of Trustees' "Statement on Memories of Sexual Abuse" is also included.

This is the revolutionary mind shift you will find in Feeling Great. Written by Dr. David Burns, a pioneer of cognitive therapy and author of the national bestseller Feeling Good: The New Mood Th...
