Group Therapy for Psychoses

This collection presents a range of methods, models and settings for group therapy for psychoses, as well as exploring the context for this type of treatment. Group Therapy for Psychoses offers an international perspective on the current range of practice in the field, in multiple care situations, contexts and institutions; from acute units to therapeutic communities, rehabilitation groups, self-help, and groups of those who hear voices. Presented in two parts, the first covers the history, evaluation and research methodologies of group therapy, while the second explores specific examples of groups and settings. The book tackles misconceptions about the treatment of psychoses and emphasises the healing effects of group therapy. It underscores the importance of training for selecting and conducting groups of patients suffering from psychoses and suggests possible formats, approaches and perspectives. The book’s wide, reflexive and practical collection of chapters together demonstrate how group therapies can effectively help patients with psychotic experiences to overcome their difficulties on their way to recovery. The book will be of great use to clinicians working with people suffering from psychosis, including psychiatrists, psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, psychologists, physicians and social workers. It will also appeal to group analysts, family therapists and CBT practitioners, as well as to all researchers in these fields.

International Relations as Negotiation
by Brian R UrlacherNegotiations are central to the operation of the international system, found at the heart of every conflict and every act of cooperation. Negotiation is the primary vehicle that states use to manage conflict and build prosperity in a complicated and dangerous international system. International Relations as Negotiation provides an overview of world politics that is both approachable and detailed. It explores the factors that help or undermine efforts to negotiate solutions to international problems. Key topics including international conflict and security, the global economy, international law and governance, and environmental sustainability are explored in turn. The history of the international system is traced through major treaty agreements and peace conferences, and the future of the international system is projected. The result is a survey of world politics that provides a seamless narrative about conflict and cooperation in the international system.
The Bridge Between Bioethics and Medical Practice: Medical Professionalism (The International Library of Bioethics #98)
by Marko Ćurković Ana BorovečkiThis book provides insights into dynamic and complex interrelationships between professionalism and medical practice. It does so by looking into the most relevant and recent theoretical and practical frameworks and by systematizing and integrating extensive and growing literature on medical professionalism. Through honest and prudent contributions from very diverse backgrounds and contexts, this book provides an understanding of medical professionalism derived from a broader historical and cultural context in order to contribute to everyday professional life and practice – the very place of its existence. The book presents the conflicting and sometimes irreconcilable demands and challenges physicians face in everyday practice. A better understanding of these fundamental issues is the only way for medicine to maintain and preserve its unique morality, the same one that enabled its existence in the first place. The book is relevant for everyone immersed and interested in the subject of medical professionalism as a resource, which may ease or guide them through the complexities of issues at hand. It will also contribute to the ongoing debate on medical professionalism, medical ethics, bioethics, and professionalism and ethics in general.

Walter Benjaminen aingerua Gernikako bonbardaketatik
by Ignacio Aiestaran UrizTotalitarismoaren gerra izan da XX. mendeko ikurretako bat. Liburu honetan irakurleak, lehenengo aldiz, logika belizista bat aurkituko du, XX. mende hasieran indar handia izan zuena. 20ko eta 30ko hamarkadetan Espainiak eta Italiak bonbardaketak erabili zituzten Afrikako kolonietan, bai Rif-en, bai Abisinian. Espainiako Gerra Zibilean areagotu egin zen estrategia hau; Otxandio, Durango eta Gernika proba-lekuak izan ziren, eta geroago penintsulako leku askotan zabaldu zen suntsiketa, Mussolinik eta Hitlerrek lagundurik. Proba horiek ohiko bilakatu ziren Bigarren Mundu Gerran: Dresden, Coventry, Hamburg, Hiroshima eta Nagasaki dira historia beltz honetako markak. Bonbardaketetan garai hartako arma guztiak erabili ziren: hegazkinak, gasa, lehergailuak... arrazismoz eta xenofobiaz beteriko ideologiatik gerra totala justifikatu nahian. Ideologo nazi batzuek erabateko mobilizazioa deitu zioten estrategia hilgarri hari. Intelektual asko izan ziren estrategia horren lekuko: Walter Benjamin, Ernst Jnger, Pablo Picasso, Lauaxeta. Datuak, historia eta literatura mataza original batean biltzen dira liburu honetan, garai beltz hartako kronika eta eragina sakon eta zorrotz azalduz. Totalitarismoaren biktimek esne beltza edaten zutela adierazi zuen Paul Celan olerkari juduak, metafora mingots batean. Eta sententzia argia gehitu zuen: Heriotza Alemaniatik etorritako maisua dugu
