Psychosynergetik: Die fraktale Evolution des Psychischen. Grundlagen einer Allgemeinen Psychotherapie
by Dietmar HanschIm Zusammenhang mit der Anwendung moderner Selbstorganisationstheorien wie der Synergetik ist eine emergentistische Psychologie im Entstehen, die psychische Prozesse als evolvierende dynamische Systeme modelliert. Die von den Gestaltpsychologen vielfach experimentell belegte Beziehung zwischen Gestaltqualität und Emotionalität wird auf dieser Basis reinterpretiert: Es existiert ein emotionales Bewertungssystem für die evolutive Stabilität menschlicher Tätigkeitsprozesse. Phänomene wie intrinsische Motivationen, ästhetische Empfindungen und die subtile Wechselwirkung von Kognition und Emotion erfahren so eine neuartige Deutung. Die phylogenetisch abgeleiteten Funktionssysteme werden in ein praktisch handhabbares Rahmenmodell des Psychischen integriert. Nach einer Reinterpretation bestehender Psychotherapieformen und ihrer Neuintegration auf dieser Grundlage wird eine Allgemeine evolutionistische Psychotherapie im Grundriß erkennbar.

Psychotherapeutische Interaktion: Qualitative Studien zu Konversation und Metapher, Geste und Plan
by Michael B. BuchholzIn diesem Band werden neue Verfahren der qualitativen Psychotherapieforschung erprobt - am Material ein und derselben Behandlungsstunde. Sichtbar wird, was alles in einer psychotherapeutischen Sitzung geschieht und wie abhängig die Ansichten von der verwendeten Methode sind, sichtbar wird aber auch, wie sehr die Ergebnisse konvergieren und im Geiste des Betrachters zu einer Synthese verschmelzen. Jedes Verfahren stellt das Zentrum eines eigenen Diskurses dar, und von jedem Zentrum gehen Verbindungslinien zum anderen. Insbesondere kommen hier zur Anwendung: Konversationsanalyse, Metaphernanalyse, objektive Hermeneutik, die Planfeststellungsmethode, die Mikroethnographie der Kommunikation und eine klinische Sichtweise.

Psychotherapie und Gender. Konzepte. Forschung. Praxis.: Welche Rolle spielt die Geschlechtszugehörigkeit im therapeutischen Prozess? (Integrative Modelle in Psychotherapie, Supervision und Beratung)
by Brigitte SchiglBisherige psychotherapiebetreffende Publikationen zum Thema Gender betrachten die PatientInnen und lassen die Interaktion mit den TherapeutInnen weitgehend außer Acht. Hier wird im Gegensatz dazu ein interaktionistischer Standpunkt bezogen, der den gemeinsamen Prozess, die gegenseitige Zuschreibung und Verstärkung in den Geschlechtsrollen in den Blick nimmt. Nicht nur wir PsychotherapeutInnen verändern unsere KlientInnen, auch KlientInnen verändern ihre PsychotherapeutInnen.

Psychotherapy and Buddhism: Toward an Integration (Issues in the Practice of Psychology)
by Jeffrey B. RubinThere is currently a burgeoning interest in the relationship between the Western psychotherapeutic and Buddhist meditative traditions among therapists, researchers, and spiritual seekers. Psychotherapy and Buddhism initiates a conversation between these two modern methods of achieving greater self-understanding and peace of mind. Dr. Jeffrey B. Rubin explores how they might be combined to better serve patients in therapy and adherents to a spiritual way of life. He examines the strengths and limitations of each tradition through three contexts: the nature of self, conception of ideal health, and process of achieving optimal health. The volume features the first two cases of Buddhists in psychoanalytic treatment.
Psychotherapy for Children and Adolescents: Directions for Research and Practice
by Alan E. KazdinWhat do we wish to know about psychotherapy and its effects? What do we already know? And what needs to be accomplished to fill the gap? These questions and more are explored in this thoroughly updated book about the current status and future directions of psychotherapy for children and adolescents. It retains a balance between practical concerns and research, reflecting many of the new approaches to children that have appeared in the past ten years. Designed to change the direction of current work, this book outlines a blueprint or model to guide future research and elaborates the ways in which therapy needs to be studied. By focusing on clinical practice and what can be changed, it offers suggestions for improvement of patient care and advises how clinical work can contribute directly and in new ways to the accumulation of knowledge. Although it discusses in detail present psychotherapy research, this book is squarely aimed at progress in the future, making it ideal for psychologists, psychiatrists, and all mental health care practitioners.
Psychotherapy for Families after Brain Injury
by Pamela S. KlonoffWhether caused by illness, accident, or incident, brain injury requires multi-tiered resources for the patient and considerable external care and support. When recovery is sidelined by depression, anger, grief, or turmoil, family members and the support network have critical roles to play and need their own guidance and compassionate therapeutic interventions.Psychotherapy for Families after Brain Injury offers theoretical frameworks and eclectic techniques for working effectively with adult patients and their families at the initial, active and post-treatment phases of rehabilitation. This practical reference clarifies roles and relationships of the support network in interfacing with the loved one and addresses the understandably devastating and sometimes derailing emotions and psychosocial adversities. The content promotes psychoeducation and guided exercises, delineates “helpful hints” and coping tools and proffers multimedia resources to overcome hurdles. Constructs of awareness, acceptance and realism for all parties are woven throughout, along with ideas to enhance the support network’s commitment, adjustment, positivity, hope and longevity. Case excerpts, instructive quotes from caregivers and nuggets of clinical advice assist in analyzing these and other topics in salient detail:The impact of brain injury on different family members.Treatment themes in early family sessions.Family therapy for moderate to severe brain injury, concussion and postconcussion syndrome.Family therapy after organic brain injury: stroke, anoxia, tumor, seizure disorders.Family group treatment during active rehabilitation.End-of-life and existential considerations and positive aspects of care giving.Aftercare group therapy for long-term needs.The hands-on approach demonstrated in Psychotherapy for Families after Brain Injury will enhance the demanding work of a range of professionals, including neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, rehabilitation psychologists, family therapists, marriage and family counselors, psychiatrists, behavioral/mental health counselors, clinical social workers, rehabilitation specialists such as speech-language pathologists, physical and occupational therapists, and graduate students in the helping professions.

PTL: The Rise and Fall of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker's Evangelical Empire
by John WiggerIn 1974 Jim and Tammy Bakker launched their television show, the PTL Club, from a former furniture store in Charlotte, N.C. with half a dozen friends. By 1987 they stood at the center of a ministry empire that included their own satellite network, a 2300-acre theme park visited by six million people a year, and millions of adoring fans. The Bakkers led a life of conspicuous consumption perfectly aligned with the prosperity gospel they preached. They bought vacation homes, traveled first-class with an entourage and proclaimed that God wanted everyone to be healthy and wealthy. When it all fell apart, after revelations of a sex scandal and massive financial mismanagement, all of America watched more than two years of federal investigation and trial as Jim was eventually convicted on 24 counts of fraud and conspiracy. He would go on to serve five years in federal prison. PTL is more than just the spectacular story of the rise and fall of the Bakkers, John Wigger traces their lives from humble beginnings to wealth, fame, and eventual disgrace. At its core, PTL is the story of a group of people committed to religious innovation, who pushed the boundaries of evangelical religion's engagement with American culture. Drawing on trial transcripts, videotapes, newspaper articles, and interviews with key insiders, dissidents, and lawyers, Wigger reveals the power of religion to redirect American culture. This is the story of a grand vision gone wrong, of the power of big religion in American life and its limits.

The Pub and the People: A Worktown Study (Mass Observation social surveys #6)
by Mass ObservationMass Observation was founded in 1937 with the aim of researching the everyday lives of ordinary people in Britain. One of its best-loved publications is The Pub and the People (1943), a unique study of one of Britain's best-loved pastimes, describing how people behaved in pubs, what and how much they drank, and the decor and layout of the average pre-war alehouse. Alongside sociological interest it offers amusing insights into an era when supping pints was only for the roughest customers, and beer was considered helpful not only to general health ('There is no bad ale, so Grandma said') but also (contra the porter in Macbeth) to the act of love. 'The authors of this book have unearthed much curious information.' George Orwell, Listener'Anyone with an interest in the history of beer and pubs in Britain ought to read it.'

Public Administration in Conflict Affected Countries (Governance and Public Management)
by Juraj Nemec Purshottama S ReddyThis book highlights the main factors determining the quality of public administration in conflict affected countries; and assesses to what extent the conflict determines and impacts on the performance of public administration in affected countries. The main value added by this book is confirming the general expectation that there is no direct and universal link between the conflict and public administration performance (and vice-versa). One may need to argue that each country situation differs and specific factors of internal and external environments determine the trends of public administration performance in conflict affected countries. To achieve the overarching goal of the book, sixteen country studies were developed from all relevant continents - America, Africa, Asia and Europe: Bangladesh, Colombia, Croatia, Egypt, Georgia, Iraq, Kosovo, Nigeria, Palestine, Paraguay, Philippines, Serbia, South Africa, Uganda, Ukraine, and Venezuela.
