Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Intrusive thoughts are common, but for most people they are quickly forgotten and create minimal or no discomfort. They are uninvited thoughts that jump into the mind and do not seem to be part of the ongoing flow of intentional thinking. #2 Unwanted intrusive thoughts are when you think about something that is not welcome, and you try to push it out of your mind, but it keeps coming back. It may be aggressive, sexual, taboo, anxiety-provoking, or self-derogatory. #3 There are three voices that are relevant to the problem of unwanted intrusive thoughts: the voice of What if. which predicts disasters and awful outcomes, the voice of False Comfort, and the voice of Wise Mind. #4 Wise Mind is calm, unimpressed, and unaffected by the constant arguments between Worried Voice and False Comfort. It knows that False Comfort is actually spurring Worried Voice on, and it is curious and sometimes even amused by things that upset the others.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 There are times when you feel hesitant or unsure about something, so you seek a bit of reassurance, and it works. But there are other times when you become so overwhelmed with the need to know for sure that you are making the right decision or evaluating something properly that no amount of reassurance seems enough. #2 Sometimes reassurance sticks and sometimes it doesn’t. For example, you might hear that your next-door neighbor just bought a car and got a great deal on it. Suddenly you become concerned that you did not get a good enough deal on the car you just bought. #3 Reassurance can be helpful and informative, but it can also be destructive and non-informative. productive reassurance helps you resolve or live with uncertainty, while non-productive reassurance just raises new questions and doubts. #4 Productive and unproductive reassurance are two different things. Productive reassurance helps you make the best guess while remaining uncertain, while unproductive reassurance attempts to reduce anxiety and discomfort. It allows you to pretend and feel the relief of imagined certainty...

Autor: Martin N. Seif , Sally Winston

Número de Páginas: 275

What Every Therapist Needs to Know About Anxiety Disorders is an integrated and practical approach to treating anxiety disorders for general psychotherapists. What is new and exciting is its focus on changing a patient’s relationship to anxiety in order to enable enduring recovery rather than merely offering a menu of techniques for controlling symptoms. Neither a CBT manual nor an academic text nor a self-help book, What Every Therapist Needs to Know About Anxiety Disorders offers page after page of key insights into ways to help patients suffering from phobias, panic attacks, unwanted intrusive thoughts, compulsions and worries. The authors offer a rich array of therapist-patient vignettes, case examples, stories, and metaphors that will complement the work of trainees and experienced clinicians of every orientation. Readers will come away from the book with a new framework for understanding some of the most frustrating clinical challenges in anxiety disorders, including "reassurance junkies," endless obsessional loops, and the paradoxical effects of effort.

A Record of the Bartholomew Family, Vol 1

Autor: George Wells Bartholomew Jr.

Número de Páginas: 454

ORIGIN OF THE NAME BARTHOLOMEW. Bartholomew is the English form of the Syriac name of the apostle Bartholmai, which is derived from Bar, the Syriac term, as Ben is the Hebrew, for son; see Psalms ii, 12, translated "Kim the Son;" and Tholmai or Talmai (the same in Hebrew) is often found in the Old Testament, see Numbers xiii, 22; Joshua xv, 14; 2 Samuel iii, 3 and Chronicles xiii, 37, as Talmai. Its signification is "furrowed" from a Hebrew root meaning "to furrow" or "cut." The process by which Bartholmai or Bartalmai in Hebrew becomes Bartholomew in English, is through the regular Greek and Latin forms Bartholonmeos and Bartholommus, the second o being an intercalation, thence possibly through the French. The Latin ae being treated as a simple ē, as in all the other Romance languages.

Exploring the Essentials of Healthy Personality

What are the elements upon which a healthy personality is built? This fascinating book identifies the key components and shares vivid case studies that demonstrate what happens when those elements are missing. What is "normal" when it comes to human personality?

Una vida en resiliencia

Autor: Brad Evans , Julian Reid

Número de Páginas: 298

La obra es una crítica del concepto de resiliencia –habilidad de un sistema para, de forma eficiente, anticipar, absorber, acomodarse o recuperarse de los efectos adversos de un acontecimiento azaroso—, cuya importancia académica y política ha aumentado en los últimos años. Los autores desmenuzan la urdimbre de poder que opera mediante el imaginario de resiliencia; observan el proceso de cambio del liberalismo, desde una estrategia basada en el ofrecimiento de seguridad a una en que se institucionaliza la inseguridad y se celebra la resiliencia de las poblaciones ante las catástrofes.

Jumping at Shadows

Autor: Sasha Abramsky

Número de Páginas: 286

Why is an unarmed young black woman who knocks on a stranger's front door to ask for help after her car breaks down perceived to be so threatening that he shoots her dead? Why do we fear infrequent acts of terrorism more far more common acts of violence? Why does a disease like Ebola, which killed only a handful of Americans, provoke panic, whereas the flu--which kills tens of thousands each year--is dismissed with a yawn? Jumping at Shadows is Sasha Abramsky's searing account of America's most dangerous epidemic: irrational fear. Taking readers on a dramatic journey through a divided nation, where everything from immigration to disease, gun control to health care has become fodder for fearmongers and conspiracists, he delivers an eye-popping analysis of our misconceptions about risk and threats. What emerges is a shocking portrait of a political and cultural landscape that is, increasingly, defined by our worst fears and rampant anxieties. Ultimately, Abramsky shows that how we calculate risk and deal with fear can teach us a great deal about ourselves, exposing deeply ingrained strains of racism, classism, and xenophobia within our culture, as well as our growing susceptibility...

Bioethics in a Liberal Society

Autor: Thomas May

Número de Páginas: 150

Issues concerning patients' rights are at the center of bioethics, but the political basis for these rights has rarely been examined. In Bioethics in a Liberal Society: The Political Framework of Bioethics Decision Making, Thomas May offers a compelling analysis of how the political context of liberal constitutional democracy shapes the rights and obligations of both patients and health care professionals. May focuses on how a key feature of liberal society—namely, an individual's right to make independent decisions—has an impact on the most important relational facets of health care, such as patients' autonomy and professionals' rights of conscience. Although a liberal political framework protects individual judgments, May asserts that this right is based on the assumption of an individual's competency to make sound decisions. May uses case studies to examine society's approach to medical decision making when, for reasons ranging from age to severe mental disorder, a person lacks sufficient competency to make independent and fully informed choices. To protect the autonomy of these vulnerable patients, May emphasizes the need for health care ethics committees and ethics...

The Adventures of Ed Tuttle, Associate Justice, and Other Stories

A zoo with only black and white animals. A camp where children are forced to gather clams or face a trip to the 'hot box'; a Supreme Court Justice's confirmation hearing presided over by the 1977 Kansas City Royals. 'The Adventures of Ed Tuttle, Associate Justice, and Other Stories' transports one to these hilarious places and beyond. This world, according to Dan Kennedy, host of The Moth Storytelling Podcast, is ''where corporate cafeteria lunch servers blurt out Kierkegaard quotes to soften the hard luck of a low supply of the 'lunch beans'; that two raging alcoholic white collar workers crave daily; a world where an HMO in-network dentist hovers over patients and instead of asking about their flossing habits or aches, asks what it is that they like best about him; a world where television sitcoms are set on death row. That's nothing--that's the tip of the iceberg." These stories, illustrations, and other errata are as funny as they are strange, as wonderful as they are wacky.
