Getting to Grips with Asperger Syndrome
by Carol HaglandGetting to Grips with Asperger Syndrome is a practical, problem-solving guide for those caring for or supporting an adult with Asperger Syndrome (AS). It will help them understand the condition and the difficulties it may cause, so that they can offer support in the most beneficial way. The book explains what AS is and why certain behaviours frequently occur: such as anxiety, fear of change and unusual sensitivities. Once behaviours and reactions are understood, many of the apparent problems become less troublesome, and difficulties can be avoided or easily-resolved. Practical strategies are offered to combat problems that may arise, and common issues that specifically occur with individuals diagnosed later in life are addressed. Easy-to-read and accessible, this book is a useful reference for friends and family of individuals with AS, as well as health and social care staff and students, whatever the level of training and experience.

Getting to “Yes And”: The Art of Business Improv
by Chuck Crisafulli Bob KulhanAmidst the deluge of advice for businesspeople, there lies an overlooked tool, a key to thriving in today's fast-paced, unpredictable environment: improvisation. In Getting to "Yes And" veteran improv performer, university professor, CEO, and consultant Bob Kulhan unpacks a form of mental agility with powers far beyond the entertainment value of comedy troupes. Drawing on principles from cognitive and social psychology, behavioral economics, and communication, Kulhan teaches readers to think on their feet and approach the most typical business challenges with fresh eyes and openness. He shows how improv techniques such as the "Yes, and" approach, divergent and convergent thinking, and focusing on being present can translate into more productive meetings, swifter decisions, stronger collaboration, positive conflict resolution, mindfulness, and more. Moving from the individual to the organizational level, Kulhan compiles time-tested teaching methods and training exercises into an instrumental guide that readers can readily implement as a party of one or a company of thousands.

Gezinsvragenlijst (GVL) handleiding
by Prof. dr. van der Ploeg Prof. dr. ScholteDoel van de testDe GVL meet de kwaliteit van gezins- en opvoedingsomstandigheden van kinderen in de leeftijd van 4 t/m 18 jaar. Gezinsomstandigheden hebben grote invloed op de gedrags- en emotionele ontwikkeling van kinderen en jongeren. Wanneer zich in een gezin problemen voordoen, kan dit de sociaal emotionele ontwikkeling van kinderen ernstig verstoren. In de jeugdzorg is men er inmiddels van doordrongen dat het behandelen van alleen de jeugdige niet voldoende is, maar dat ook altijd aandacht voor het gezin noodzakelijk is. Gezinsvragenlijsten screenen de opvoedingsinvloed van het gezin meestal alleen via de ouder-kind relatie. Het gezin bestaat echter uit meerdere relaties: ook de relatie tussen de ouders onderling en tussen het gezin en haar omgeving zijn onderdeel van het gezinssysteem. De Gezinsvragenlijst meet deze meervoudige gezinsrelaties en screent zowel het opvoedgedrag van de ouders als het functioneren van het gezin als geheel. Afname brengt aan het licht waar het gezin eventueel tekort schiet, wat de risico’s zijn op problematisch gedrag bij een kind en waar de mogelijke oorzaken liggen van problemen in het gezin. Afname van de GVL verschaft aanknopingspunten voor interventies.ToepassingsmogelijkhedenScreening: screent het gezinsfunctioneren en spoort risicovolle pedagogische en gezinsomstandigheden op bij gezinnen met schoolgaande kinderen in het gewoon basisonderwijs, het speciaal basisonderwijs en het voortgezet onderwijs. Periodieke afname brengt het beloop van risicovolle gezins- en opvoedingsomstandigheden in beeld. Diagnose: bepaalt of doorverwijzing naar jeugdzorg nodig is. Geeft aanknopingspunten voor gezinsinterventies. Bepaalt de aard en de ernst van problemen in de gezins- en opvoedingssituatie. Behandeling: geeft aanknopingspunten voor interventies. Evalueert de voortgang en de effectiviteit van interventies. Wat meet de GVL?De GVL screent de relaties tussen de ouders en het kind, tussen de ouders onderling en tussen het gezin en haar omgeving. Daarnaast screent de GVL de context waarbinnen deze relaties zich afspelen: de organisatie van het gezin en de gezinsstructuur. De GVL bestaat uit vijf basisschalen die samen het totale gezinsfunctioneren vertegenwoordigen: • responsiviteit (de opvoedingsrelatie van de ouders met het kind)• communicatie (de communicatie van de ouders met het kind) • organisatie (de gezinscontext waarbinnen de gezinsrelaties plaatsvinden)• partnerrelatie (de onderlinge relatie tussen de ouders)• sociaal netwerk (de relaties van het gezin met de omgeving)Voor wie?De GVL wordt ingevuld door de ouders of opvoeders van het kind, of door personen die het kind en het gezin goed kennen. Maatschappelijk werkers, groepsleiders, psychologen, orthopedagogen en andere professionele hulpverleners kunnen de uitslagen van de test gebruiken ter taxatie van de gezins- en opvoedingssituatie van kinderen en gezinnen. Testuitslagen mogen echter alleen worden geïnterpreteerd door psychodiagnostisch geschoolde personen.Afname en scoringDe GVL bestaat uit 45 vragen. De afname duurt circa 30 minuten. Het invullen en scoren kan enerzijds handmatig plaatsvinden. U kunt de GVL ook geautomatiseerd afnemen en scoren met behulp van Testweb.Belangrijk: u kunt deze test alleen afnemen indien u over de GVL Handleiding beschikt.NormenInterpretatie van de scores vindt plaats door de scores van individuele respondenten te vergelijken met normen die het onderscheid tussen wel en geen problematiek weergeven. Voor de interpretatie worden in de handleiding de volgende normgegevens verstrekt:• Algemene bevolking• Klinische gezinnenMaterialen• GVL handleiding• GV

In Ghostbelly, Heineman's brave, disarming, and stunning memoir, she recounts her indescribable grief after delivering a stillborn son, her shocking and intimate bonding with the baby's body before the burial, and the impossible task of saying goodbye.In 2008 Elizabeth McCracken's memoir broke the silence surrounding stillbirth, which account for one in 160 pregnancies in the United States.

Ghosts from the Nursery: Tracing the Roots of Violence
by Robin Karr-Morse Meredith S. Wiley Dr Vincent FelittiThis new, revised edition incorporates significant advances in neurobiological research over the past decade, and includes a new introduction by Dr. Vincent J. Felitti, a leading researcher in the field. When Ghosts from the Nursery: Tracing the Roots of Violence was published in 1997, it was lauded for providing scientific evidence that violence can originate in the womb and become entrenched in a child’s brain by preschool. The authors’ groundbreaking conclusions became even more relevant following the wave of school shootings across the nation including the tragedy at Columbine High School and the shocking subsequent shootings culminating most recently in the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Following each of these media coverage and public debate turned yet again to the usual suspects concerning the causes of violence: widespread availability of guns and lack of mental health services for late-stage treatment. Discussion of the impact of trauma on human life-especially early in life during chemical and structural formation of the brain-is missing from the equation. Karr-Morse and Wiley continue to shift the conversation among parents and policy makers toward more fundamental preventative measures against violence.
Ghosts in the Consulting Room: Echoes of Trauma in Psychoanalysis (Relational Perspectives Book Series)
by Adrienne Harris Margery Kalb Susan KlebanoffGhosts in the Consulting Room: Echoes of Trauma in Psychoanalysis is the first of two volumes that delves into the overwhelming, often unmetabolizable feelings related to mourning. The book uses clinical examples of people living in a state of liminality or ongoing melancholia. The authors reflect on the challenges of learning to move forward and embrace life over time, while acknowledging, witnessing and working through the emotional scars of the past. Bringing together a collection of clinical and theoretical papers, Ghosts in the Consulting Room features accounts of the unpredictable effects of trauma that emerge within clinical work, often unexpectedly, in ways that surprise both patient and therapist. In the book, distinguished psychoanalysts examine how to work with a variety of ‘ghosts’, as they manifest in transference and countertransference, in work with children and adults, in institutional settings and even in the very founders and foundations of the field of psychoanalysis itself. They explore the dilemma of how to process loss when it is unspeakable and unknowable, often manifesting in silence or gaps in knowledge, and living in strange relations to time and space. This book will be of interest to psychotherapists and psychoanalysts, as well as social workers, family therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists. It will appeal to those specializing in bereavement and trauma and, on a broader level, to sociologists and historians interested in understanding means of coping with loss and grief on both an individual and larger scale basis.
Ghosts in the Human Psyche: The Story of a 'Muslim Armenian'
by Vamik VolkanVamik Volkan examines the impact of past and present historical events, cultural elements, political movements and their mental images on the psyche of individuals. Beginning with the history of the debates concerning the relevance of external events to the human psyche, Volkan moves on to look at the spread of psychoanalysis worldwide and the need to become familiar with the cultural, historical, and political issues when working abroad. The remaining chapters follow the story of a successful businessman who calls himself a 'Muslim Armenian'. His psychological journey clearly illustrates how ghosts from the past can remain alive and active in our lives, and how a clear understanding of his people's history and culture allowed the analyst to understand some important causes of his symptoms and personality characteristics. By presenting a total case report, Volkan illustrates the methods applied to improve the analysand's psychological health. By presenting a case from the viewpoint of a psychoanalytic supervisor, including the supervisor's reactions to the individual being analysed, he has exposed another rich topic to consideration. With this book, Vamik Volkan has given us much to reflect upon.
Giambattista Vico and the New Psychological Science (History And Theory Of Psychology Ser.)
by Luca TateoGiambattista Vico (1668�1744) was an Italian philosopher, rhetorician, and historian. As one of the great thinkers of the Enlightenment, he exerted tremendous influence on the social sciences. He was the first to stress cultural and linguistic dimensions in the development of both the human mind and social institutions. Although his ideas on the relationship between mind and culture and his epistemology have inspired the work of many scholars in psychology, his sizeable influence has been scarcely acknowledged. The volume is organized in two sections. The first locates Vico in his historical context and in the landscape of contemporary human and social sciences. The second part presents those of Vico's concepts that seem promising for the development of a new way of looking at psychological phenomena. In the book's conclusion, Luca Tateo gathers the ideas of the volume's contributors to suggest future development of the psychological sciences. This book aims to show how Vico's insights can inspire future research in the psychological sciences. It collects multidisciplinary contributions of leading international scholars that draw upon the thought of this original thinker. Collectively, the contributors remind us of the legacy and continuing influence of this inspiring historical figure.
