Psycho-Emotional Pain and the Eight Extraordinary Vessels
by David Chan Yvonne R. FarrellThis book is unique in that it discusses the nature of human suffering and how patients can be helped to overcome psycho-emotional pain through work with the Eight Extraordinary Vessels. Emotional suffering and resistance to change can be an impediment to the healing process, with many physical conditions being resistant to treatment due to their psycho-emotional element. Understanding this suffering and providing a therapeutic environment which allows the patient to believe that things can be different improves the effectiveness of an Eight Extras treatment. Approaching the topic from the perspective of suffering means that the theory can be applied to both physical and emotional illness, including addiction, chronic pain, auto-immune conditions and hormonal disorders. This a very practical book and will include a full explanation of how to create an Eight Extras treatment and also case studies showing clinical use of the vessels and how to apply them. These case studies show how coping mechanisms and resistance develops and how important history is in the diagnostic process.
Psycho-Oncology
by Ute Goerling Anja MehnertPsycho-oncology is a thriving discipline in cancer care, and numerous research activities have been undertaken in the endeavour to improve treatment outcomes and to gain a better understanding of the psychosocial consequences of cancer. This book presents and discusses the latest findings from science and practice for a broad range of psychological and social issues related to cancer and its treatments. Not only are general psychosocial impacts of cancer described, but the very common fear of progression is elucidated. The relevance of psycho-oncology at different stages of disease (during oncological treatment, in rehabilitation, and during palliative care) is explained, and various psycho-oncological interventions are illustrated. Other important topics are the experience of being a cancer survivor, who may be cured but not be healthy, the psychological burden on relatives, and gender differences in coping with cancer. Quality of life and patient-reported outcomes are also commented on since they are among the key benchmarks for successful coping with the diagnosis of cancer, its treatment, and its late effects. The chapters are almost all written by distinguished scientists, but as we often learn most from those affected by cancer, one author speaks for herself as a patient.

Psycho-Politics between the World Wars: Psychiatry and Society in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (Mental Health in Historical Perspective)
by David FreisThis book is about the psycho-political visions and programmes in early-twentieth century Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Amidst the political and social unrest that followed the First World War, psychiatrists attempted to use their clinical insights to understand, diagnose, and treat society at large. The book uses a variety of published and unpublished sources to retrace major debates, protagonists, and networks involved in the redrawing of the boundaries of psychiatry’s sphere of authority. The book is based on three interconnected case studies: the overt pathologisation of the 1918/19 revolution led by right-wing German psychiatrists; the project of medical expansionism under the label of ‘applied psychiatry’ in inter-war Vienna; and the attempt to unite and implement different approaches to psychiatric prophylaxis in the movement for mental hygiene. By exploring these histories, the book also sheds light on the emergence of ideas that still shape the field to the present day and shows the close connection between utopian promises and the worst abuses of psychiatry.
Psycho-Social Approaches to the Covid-19 Pandemic: Change, Crisis and Trauma
by Anathasia Chalari Eirini Efsevia KoutantouThis book explores how meaning-making during the COVID-19 pandemic, and specifically during the period of the April 2020 lockdowns, may be derived from shared lived experience among participants, residing in diverse geographical regions. This study conducted 46 in-depth interviews with Greek participants residing in 13 district countries and 23 cities around the globe and argues that meaning making of the pandemic derives from shared lived experiences of radical change and everyday transformations, fearful as well as well as hopeful perceptions of crisis and trauma emerging through loss of life before the pandemic.
PsychoNeuroImmunology: Volume 1: Integration of Psychology, Neurology, and Immunology (Integrated Science #30)
by Nima Rezaei Niloufar YazdanpanahThis book seeks to represent the main concepts and theories related to psychoneuroimmunology with the aim of their application in clinical settings and formation of novel theories to further elucidate the mutual connection of the psyche and the physiology of humans' body. Psychoneuroimmunology, as an integration of popular research fields such as psychology, immunology, neurology, and neuroscience, is a perfect example of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary studies that could potentially result in developing alternative diagnostic tools and treatment strategies besides facilitating the understanding of the pathophysiology of some conditions that might not properly be understood with a single point of view. Considering the stressful lifestyle and the high prevalence of neuropsychiatric, metabolic, and immune-related disorders, psychoneuroimmunology could be the path to the management of these conditions and reduction of the burden of the diseases

Psychoactive Drug Abuse in Hong Kong: Life Satisfaction and Drug Use (Quality of Life in Asia #11)
by Yuet Wah Cheung Nicole Wai-ting CheungThis book studies young people’s use of psychoactive drugs and its social and psychological correlates in Hong Kong. Specifically, it focuses on how life satisfaction may affect drug use among a sample of psychoactive drug users in Hong Kong. The book addresses the dearth of research on the role of young people’s life satisfaction in their drug abuse and engagement in other risk behaviors in Hong Kong. It also examines how changes in the drug scene from heroin addiction to psychoactive party drug use since the late 1990s has necessitated a deeper exploration of the subculture of young people, which shapes their attitudes and behaviors regarding how they structure their lives and how they perceive the risks of drug use, in the context of the global trend of normalization of recreational drug use. Readers will benefit from the results of a rigorous analysis of a unique set of longitudinal data that reveals the factors influencing drug use among young psychoactive drug users, academic implications of the findings for social science theory and research on young people’s drug use, and practical implications of the findings for prevention and intervention services for young people in Hong Kong and other Asian societies.

Psychoanalyse und Film: Methodische Zugänge zur latenten Bedeutung (essentials)
by Timo StorckDieses essential widmet sich der Verbindung von Psychoanalyse und Film. Die Psychoanalyse eignet sich für eine methodisch geleitete Filmbetrachtung. Dabei kommt es nicht zu einer Anwendung der psychoanalytischen Theorie, sondern zu einer Anwendung ihrer Methode eines reflektierten In-Beziehung-Stehen zu einem Gegenüber. So können latente Bedeutungen in den Blick genommen und eine Interpretation entwickelt werden. Im vorliegenden essential werden die Möglichkeiten eines solchen Zugangs rekonstruiert und bestehende Ansätze vorgestellt. Schließlich wird der Vorschlag eines Leitfadens zur Durchführung einer filmpsychoanalytischen Interpretation gemacht. Zahlreiche Filmbeispiele dienen dabei der Veranschaulichung.

Psychoanalysis and Film: Methodical Approaches to Latent Meaning (essentials)
by Timo StorckThis essential is dedicated to the connection between psychoanalysis and film. Psychoanalysis is suitable for a methodically guided film viewing. This is not an application of psychoanalytical theory, but rather an application of its method of a reflected relationship to a counterpart. In this way, latent meanings can be taken into consideration and an interpretation can be developed. This essential reconstructs the possibilities of such an approach and presents existing approaches. Finally, a guideline for carrying out a film psychoanalytical interpretation is proposed. Numerous film examples serve to illustrate this.The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.

Divided into sections based on different venues of medical practice, including family medicine clinics, inpatient medical and surgical units, and psychiatric inpatient units and outpatient programs, chapters illustrate how various concepts in psychoanalysis can enhance physicians’ understanding and management of their patients. A concluding section contains applications of psychoanalytic thought in non-clinical areas pertinent to medicine, including preventing suicide among physicians, residents, and medical students, sexual abuse of patients by physicians, and oral examination anxiety in physicians. Readers will learn to apply psychoanalytic concepts with a rational approach that enhances their understanding and management of their patients and practice of medicine generally.
Psychoanalytic Case Formulation
by Nancy McwilliamsWhat kinds of questions do experienced therapists ask themselves when facing a new client? How can clinical expertise be taught? From the author of the landmark Psychoanalytic Diagnosis, this book takes clinicians step-by- step through developing an understanding of each client's unique psychology and using this information to guide and inform treatment decisions.

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
by Nancy McwilliamsBuilding on the enormous popularity of her two previous texts on diagnosis and case formulation, this important work from Nancy McWilliams completes the trilogy by addressing in detail the art and science of psychodynamic treatment. McWilliams distills the essential principles of clinical practice, including effective listening and talking; transference and counter transference; emotional safety; and an empathic, attuned attitude toward the patient. The author describes the values, assumptions, and clinical and research findings that guide the psychoanalytic enterprise, and shows how to integrate elements of other theoretical perspectives when necessary. She also discusses the phases of treatment and covers such neglected topics as educating the client about the therapeutic process, handling complex challenges to boundaries, and attending to self-care. Presenting complex clinical information in personal, nontechnical language enriched by in-depth clinical vignettes, this is an essential psychoanalytic work and training text for therapists.
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in Psychiatric Practice: Premises and Clinical Portraits
by Mark KinetIn this uniquely intimate and clinical book, Mark Kinet explores the vital role of psychodynamic psychotherapy in psychiatric work.Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in Psychiatric Practice: Premises and Clinical Portraits includes over 70 case studies of patients receiving psychiatric care in various settings, from (semi-)residential treatment to outpatient support. Kinet draws on his extensive experience of conducting group and individual psychotherapy sessions, psychoanalysis in a traditional setting, and his integration of play therapy techniques. He introduces and explores seven foundational premises essential to the success of psychodynamic psychotherapy with these patients: the integration of intrapsychic and interpersonal forces and perspectives, the key impact of unconscious content and processes, the vital importance of the therapeutic relationship, the mobilisation of mentalising capacities, the interpretation of hidden motives, the emancipation resulting from enlightenment, and the importance of approaching this work with realism rather than an idealised perspective. The case studies highlight common mental issues such as anxiety, low mood and clinical depression, PTSD, and personality disorders, equipping the reader with the tools to understand and help a wide range of patients.Written in accessible language, this volume will be of great interest to psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, and psychotherapists, as well as anyone interested in gaining insight into real-life psychiatric practice.
