Cómo hacer grandes cosas: Los sorprendentes factores que marcan el destino de cualquier proyecto
by Bent Flyvbjerg Dan GardnerLos secretos para planificar y llevar a cabo con éxito proyectos de cualquier envergadura, por el mayor experto munidal en megaproyectos. Nada es más inspirador que una ambiciosa visión que se convierte en una realidad triunfante: el Empire State Building pasó de ser un boceto a cambiar el skyline de Nueva York en tan solo veintiún meses. Sin embargo, la mayoría de las veces las grandes visiones se convierten en auténticas pesadillas: según las estadísticas, un asombroso 92 por ciento de los megaproyectos superan el presupuesto o el cronograma, o ambas cosas. Incluso los esfuerzos más modestos, como emprender un pequeño negocio, suelen fracasar. ¿Por qué? El profesor de la Universidad de Oxford Bent Flyvbjerg ha dedicado su vida a comprender qué distingue a esos pocos triunfos entre tantos fracasos. En Cómo hacer grandes cosas identifica los errores de juicio y la toma de decisiones equivocadas que llevan al naufragio de los proyectos, ya sean grandes o pequeños. Y muestra cómo tus propios proyectos tienen más posibilidades de éxito si aplicas los principios que él mismo ha investigado durante décadas. Repleto de inolvidables ejemplos que van desde la construcción de la Ópera de Sídney y la creación de los últimos éxitos de taquilla de Pixar, hasta la desastrosa reforma de una casa en Brooklyn, este libro es una guía indispensable para cualquier persona que planee un proyecto ambicioso. Reseñas:«Un libro imprescindible».Frank Gehry, Premio Pritzker «Nadie ha investigado los errores de planificación con más profundidad que Bent Flyvbjerg».Nassim Nicholas Taleb, autor de El cisne negro «Una sabiay vívida combinación de narración inspiradora con décadas de investigación práctica y experiencia».Tim Harford, autor de El economista camuflado «Este libro contiene lecciones para todo tipo de profesionales».The Economist«Ignora este libro bajo tu propio riesgo».The New York Times «Lleno de deliciosas anécdotas sobre gestiones desastrosas de proyectos… y valiosos consejos».Financial Times «Un libro que debería leer cualquier legislador, concejal o ejecutivo».The Wall Street Journal «Cómo hacer grandes cosas no se basa en meras anécdotas; destila décadas de investigación sistemática de más dieciséis mil proyectos llevados a cabo en todo el mundo. El resultado es un patrón nítido de razones sorprendentes por las que casi todos los proyectos humanos fallan como se esperaba, y una hoja de ruta para que los afortunados lectores eviten fracasar».Hans Rosling, autor de Factfulness
Cómo lograr tus sueños y metas
by Dave McAllenEn esta generación que define la obsesión por los consejos, un gran autor se abre camino para mostrarnos cómo dejar de intentar ser "perfectos" todo el tiempo para que podamos alcanzar nuestro máximo potencial y ser personas más felices. La historia ha estado repleta de consejos para actuar, comportarse y hacer las cosas perfectamente, logrados a través de la imitación de mentores. Por lo tanto, existen jueces y profetas que dicen si te irá bien en la vida, si sobresaldrás en una carrera y qué es lo que tienes. Pero Dave tiene hechos crudos y una verdad refrescante para ti: "Gobierna tu destino tú mismo". Cómo lograr tus sueños y metas es su antídoto para la mentalidad mimada y libre de prejuicios que ha infectado al mundo y reconfigurado una generación, beneficiándola con cada perla de alto valor. Dave no está de acuerdo en que, corroborado tanto por la investigación histórica como por ejemplos oportunos, que la gente de éxito se convierta en lo que es hoy depende no de la capacidad de los patrocinadores y los conocedores para predecir nuestro destino con precisión, sino de aprender a descubrirse a sí mismo y mantenerse centrado en nuestros sueños. Todos los humanos tienen debilidades y defectos, con pérdidas y ganancias, altas y bajas, grandes y pequeñas - no todos podemos llegar a ser sobresalientes y grandes. Pero es un desastre mayor si se cambia la dirección natural de nuestra vida. Dave nos aconseja que hagamos un estudio profundo de nosotros mismos para empezar a ser justos con lo que estamos hechos para ser. Una vez hecho esto, abraza tu personalidad en general y deja de poner tu destino en manos de otras personas, ya sean tus compañeros, padres, profesores, etc. Construye el valor, evita los sentimientos, mantente concentrado, sé agresivo y nunca te disculpes.
Cómo vencer la ansiedad, el estrés y los ataques de pánico
by Vincenzo Fabrocini* La ansiedad perturba el ánimo y lo llena de temor, preocupación, incertidumbre, recelo, aprensión y espera. Sus causas son muy diversas conscientes o inconscientes * En este libro se proponen muchas terapias, que se pueden alternar, de forma que los distintos efectos se unan para un mismo fin * Para superar la ansiedad es necesario recorrer varios caminos: aquí encontrará una treintena de métodos biológicos que afectan al pensamiento (técnicas biomédicas) y a la acción (técnicas biofísicas).

D-scoring Method of Measurement: Classical and Latent Frameworks (Quantitative Methodology Series)
by Dimiter DimitrovD-scoring Method of Measurement presents a unified framework of classical and latent measurement referred to as D-scoring method of measurement (DSM). Provided are detailed descriptions of DSM procedures and illustrative examples of how to apply the DSM in various scenarios of measurement. The DSM is designed to combine merits of the traditional CTT and IRT for the purpose of transparency, ease of interpretations, computational simplicity of test scoring and scaling, and practical efficiency, particularly in large-scale assessments. Through detailed descriptions of DSM procedures, this book shows how practical applications of such procedures are facilitated by the inclusion of operationalized guidance for their execution using the computer program DELTA for DSM-based scoring, equating, and item analysis of test data. In doing so, the book shows how DSM procedures can be readily translated into computer source codes for other popular software packages such as R. D-scoring Method of Measurement equips researchers and practitioners in the field of educational and psychological measurement with a comprehensive understanding of the DSM as a unified framework of classical and latent scoring, equating, and psychometric analysis.
D. H. Lawrence and Psychoanalysis (Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature)
by John TurnerThis book opens out a wholly new field of enquiry within a familiar subject: it offers a detailed – yet eminently readable – historical investigation, of a kind never yet undertaken, of the impact of psychoanalysis (at a crucial moment of its history) on the thinking and writing of D.H. Lawrence. It considers the impact on his writing, through his relationship with Frieda Weekley, of the maverick Austrian analyst Otto Gross; it situates the great works of 1911-20 in relation to the controversial issues at stake in the Freud-Jung quarrel, about which his good friend, the English psychoanalyst David Eder, kept him informed; and it explores his sympathy with the maverick American analyst Trigant Burrow. It is a study to interest a literary audience by its close reading of Lawrence’s texts, and a psychoanalytic audience by its detailed consideration of the contribution made to contemporary debate by three comparatively neglected analytic thinkers.
D. W. Winnicott (Key Figures in Counselling and Psychotherapy #8)
by Michael Jacobs`The importance of Michael Jacobs' book lies in his attempt to convey. . . Winnicott's profound influence. . . . Jacobs rightly delights in the creativity and imagination of his subject and illustrates these with numerous quotations and descriptions from Winnicott's writings. . . . What is conveyed throughout the book is the essence of Winnicott. . . . [whose] gift was to make psychoanalytic language, methods and concepts more widely available, accepted and appreciated to a nonpsychoanalytic world' - British Psychological Society Counselling Psychology Review One of the best-known British psychoanalysts, D W Winnicott attracts the interest of counsellors and psychotherapists far beyond the strict psychoanalytic tradition in which he was trained. He coined many phrases that have entered the discourse of therapy, such as `good enough mother', `transitional object' and `facilitating environment'. Winnicott has had a profound impact on research into the mother-baby relationship, and his unorthodox manner and sparkling writing style have attracted enthusiastic acclaim. In this book, Michael Jacobs summarizes Winnicott's life and explains his major theoretical concepts. He also rigorously evaluates his practice as a clinician - for example, the holding and management of deeply regressed patients. While highlighting Winnicott's brilliance and creativity, Jacobs is not afraid to scrutinize his contributions more critically. He also discusses criticisms others have made of Winnicott, notably within the psychoanalytic movement. The final chapter assesses the influence of Winnicott's thinking in other countries as well as in Britain.
D.H. Lawrence and Attachment
by Ronald GranofskyThough we all face a tug of war between dependency and autonomy while growing up, British author D.H. Lawrence (1885–1930) experienced the struggle with particular intensity. Later in life, his acute observational skills, high emotional intelligence, and expressive abilities would allow him to articulate this conflict in his works as few other writers have.Applying concepts from attachment theory, D.H. Lawrence and Attachment presents innovative readings of a broad swath of Lawrence’s fiction. Ronald Granofsky teases out hidden patterns in Lawrence’s work, deepening our understanding of his fictional characters and revealing new significance to key thematic concerns like gender identification, marriage, and class. Lawrence’s too-close relationship with his own mother, in particular, was the foundation for his lifelong interest in attachment, as well as the impetus for his literary exploration of the delicate balance between the desire for closeness and the need for separation. While the theories of Margaret S. Mahler, D.W. Winnicott, John Bowlby, and others were developed after Lawrence’s death, his writing about relationships - and how they are influenced by early childhood experiences - bears a striking resemblance to the concepts of attachment theory.The Lawrence who emerges from D.H. Lawrence and Attachment is a psychological writer of great power whose intuitive insights into the vagaries of attachment resulted in rich, complex fiction.
D.W. Winnicott: A Biographical Portrait
by Brett KahrA distillation of painstaking research into the life of Donald Winnicott, tracing his life from his childhood in Plymouth, through his career in paediatrics, to his election as President of the British Psycho-Analytic Society.

Kalata Elysse Thebner MillerDBT Principles and Strategies in the Multidisciplinary Treatment of Eating Disorders is an in-depth exploration of DBT strategies and principles that can be applied by all members of a client’s multidisciplinary team, including dietitians and psychiatric providers. While previous DBT-related texts focus on therapists, counselors, and social workers, this book’s discipline-specific and cross-discipline examples and dialogue, as well as thoughtful descriptions of DBT principles and strategies create an accessible text carefully designed to benefit a wide variety of audiences.By showing the multidisciplinary application of DBT tools and techniques, this book gives providers of all disciplines a shared language and framework that can assist with multidisciplinary case conceptualization, treatment planning, and therapeutic interventions (rather than leaving providers operating in discipline-specific silos that are often atheoretical or eclectic in terms of their framework for conceptualizing and providing care). Exercises embedded throughout the text focus on helping providers implement what they are learning in their day-to-day clinical practice. The book is replete with activities that are focused specifically on assisting providers in implementing DBT strategies, like diary cards, chain analyses, exposure-based procedures, and cognitive modification procedures. Lastly, there is an emphasis on how DBT concepts and methods can be applied in different settings, especially in inpatient, residential, and partial hospitalization settings.DBT Principles and Strategies in the Multidisciplinary Treatment of Eating Disorders is an accessible, practical guide for eating-disorder professionals of all disciplines who would like to integrate DBT principles and strategies into patient care.
