By Bernard L. Diamond, Jacques M. Quen. 1995
Over the course of an illustrious career, the late Bernard Diamond established himself as the preeminent forensic psychiatrist of the…
century. The Psychiatrist in the Courtroom brings together in a single volume Diamond's pivotal contributions to a variety of important issues, including the nature of diminished capacity, the fallacy of the impartial expert, the predictability of dangerousness, and the unacceptability of hypnotically facilitated memory in courtroom proceedings. Ably introduced and edited by Jacques M. Quen, M.D., a close colleague of Diamond's and leading historian of forensic psychiatry, these writings enable experts and neophytes alike to track Diamond's evolving positions while clarifying where current legal and psychiatric opinion converge -- and diverge -- on a host of critical topics.For the forensic specialist, The Psychiatrist in the Courtroom is not only an invaluable reference work but a compassionate reminder of the clinician's obligation to protect patients in legal proceedings. And in an age when clinicians are increasingly called into court, the book will be no less valuable to psychoanalysts and other mental health professionals eager for an introduction to the intricacies of judicial reasoning. Then, too, owing to Diamond's clinical acumen, the book is a compelling human document. With great erudition and deep compassion, Diamond tackles these and other knotty questions, always with an eye to clarifying the legal and clinical implications of the answers. By combining superb clinical gifts with an incisive understanding of legal principle, Diamond produced a seminal corpus whose relevance to discussions of therapeutic ethics and to legal debates will continue well into the next century.By Gordon Northrup. 1994
Here are practical ideas and help for dealing with problems of sexuality in residential treatment settings. On a day-to-day level,…
difficulties can arise from the need for child care workers to maintain caring and personal relationships with children in the face of the children’s and their own sexuality. Children themselves also may have difficulties in properly expressing their sexuality. The Management of Sexuality in Residential Treatment examines a broad range of problems that often occur and describes several treatment programs and strategies for coping with incidents of abuse or alleged abuse.Chapters in the book address issues pertinent for professionals working with children in residential treatment. Authors cover topics such as: residents’needs for love versus sexuality the impact of sexually stimulating materials erotic countertransference in a residential treatment center survey of minor sex problems in the milieu and how to respond to them personal relationships between residents and staffThe book also describes two treatment programs for abused or abusing children. The first is an eight week multimodal therapeutic program for adolescent girls who have been sexually abused, the other a course for sexually abusive boys that includes counseling, sex education, and journal writing. The Management of Sexuality in Residential Treatment is a valuable resource for the staff of residential treatment centers, group homes, residential schools, and hospital pediatric units who wish to understand how to deal more effectively with issues of sexuality and the children for whom they care.By Melvin Bornstein. 1995
The Third Eye provides a detailed and practical exposition of one of the most important but least documented skills required…
of those practising in the expanding discipline of group analysis. The relevance of the material, which is contributed from the dual perspective of both experienced practitioner and inexperienced trainee, extends far beyond its field of origin. It will be of significant interest to a wide readership of all those concerned with the training assessment and development of others working with groups.By Michael J. Tansey, Walter F. Burke. 1995
Seeking to mediate between the "classical" view of countertransference as a neurotic impediment to the treatment process and the more…
recent "totalist" perspective, which assumes that the therapist's emotional response necessarily reveals something about the patient, Tansey and Burke stake out a thoughtful middle ground. They submit that the therapist's utilization of adequately processed countertransference reactions is in fact integral to treatment success, while arguing against the totalist assumption that the therapist's emotional to the patient must be revelatory in a direct and immediate way.Alba Padró, desde su experiencia como madre y consultora internacional de lactancia, te ofrece en esta nueva edición actualizada más…
claves para conseguir que la lactancia sea un acto placentero para ti y tu bebé. La maternidad es una etapa desconocida, llena de mitos y miedos, si eres madreprimeriza. Y si quieres amamantar a tu bebé, debes saber que se puede aprender a dar el pecho, que no es un acto instintivo. Disponer de información y apoyo es vital para poder decidir sobre cada aspecto de la lactancia. Somos la leche responde a las preguntas más frecuentes que se puede hacer una madre primeriza: - ¿Cómo me preparo para la lactancia? - ¿Qué pasa si mi bebé no se agarra bien o no gana peso? - ¿Hasta cuándo debo dar el pecho y para cuándo se recomienda el destete? - ¿Cómo compatibilizo la lactancia materna con la vuelta al trabajo? - ¿Qué cacharros necesito realmente para dar demamar? En esta nueva actualización, la asesora y consultora internacional te ofrece las preguntas y respuestas que le han formulado mamás de todo el mundo sobre las complicaciones que pueden surgir durante la lactancia, la donación de leche materna y los grupos de apoyo, cómo inmunizarse ante las críticas del entorno o cómo superar el duelo y la culpabilidad que se siente con el destete o cuando no se puede amamantar con leche materna. Alba Padró es clara en este punto: lo más importante es que la mamá y el bebé se sientan bien. Reseñas:«En algo más de 200 páginas, maquetadas con una sencillez y un gusto exquisitos, Alba ha recopilado toda la información, actualizada y en base a la evidencia científica, que una mujer que quiere dar el pecho pueda necesitar. Ofrece recursos, soluciones a dificultades, tumba viejos y falsos mitos ("101, pero estoy segura de que circula alguno más") y se adelanta a través de situaciones reales a vivencias que podemos experimentar en nuestra propia maternidad.»Diana Oliver en El País «Somos la leche está escrito desde la perspectiva de una persona que, además de saber muchísimo, ha amamantado y lleva años acompañando a cientos de madres en sus lactancias.»Mama contra corriente «Es un libro pensado para acompañar a las madres en todas las etapas de la lactancia: desde los primeros meses, como los sentimientos que nos asaltan (tristezas, culpas, dudas...), las lactancias diferentes (prematuros, gemelos...) y la etapa del destete, esa gran desconocida y que puede tener muchos matices.»Vanesa Piñeiro en Una madre como tú «Somos la leche nos explica de forma clara y detallada cuestiones como por qué no hay que preparar los pechos para la lactancia, ni usar cremas específicas, ni invertir en 1.001 inventos de los que podemos prescindir.»Planeando ser padresBy Dianne C. Berry, Zoltan Dienes. 1994
There is considerable debate over the extent to which cognitive tasks can be learned non-consciously or implicitly. In recent years…
a large number of studies have demonstrated a discrepancy between explicit knowledge and measured performance. This book presents an overview of these studies and attempts to clarify apparently disparate results by placing them in a coherent theoretical framework. It draws on evidence from neuropsychological and computational modelling studies as well as the many laboratory experiments.Chapter one sets out the background to the large number of recent studies on implicit learning. It discusses research on implicit memory, perception without awareness, and automaticity. It attempts to set the implicit - explicit distinction in the context of other relevant dichotomies in the literature. Chapter two presents an overview of research on the control of complex systems, from Broadbent (1977) through to the present day. It looks at the accessibility of control task knowledge, as well as whether there is any other evidence for a distinction between implicit and explicit modes of learning. Chapter three critically reviews studies claiming to show that people can acquire concepts without being verbally aware of the basis on which they are responding. It shows that concept formation can be implicit in some sense but not in others. Chapter four investigates the claim that people can learn sequential information in an implicit way. Chapter five looks at whether computational modelling can elucidate the nature of implicit learning. It examines the feasibility of different exemplar connectionist models in accounting for performance in concept learning, sequence learning, and control task experiments. Chapter six reviews evidence concerning dissociations between implicit and explicit knowledge in various neuropsychological syndromes. Finally, chapters seven and eight discuss the many practical and theoretical implications of the research.By George Moraitis. 1995

Sexual Difference is a critical exploration of psychoanalytic theories of sexual difference. In particular it explores the way in which…
masculinity is expressed in theory and practice. Developing from the unsettling impact of these issues on the author's own professional practice, Stephen Frosh examines how the very language and structure of psychoanalysis are loaded with assumptions about gender. Employing both Kleinian and Lacanian theoretical perspectives this book critically examines these approacheds to sexial difference. In addition, it discusses the application of these issues in the practice of treating sexual violence and in cases of child secual abuse. Sexual Difference will be of value to all trainees and professionals in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, psychology and social work, as well as all those with an interest in `masculinity', `femininity' and their effects.By Richard R. Kopp. 1995

Sandplay is one of the fastest growing therapies. What are its origins, who were it pioneers, and how have they…
influenced the current practice of sandplay? What does the future hold? Rie Rogers Mitchell and Harriet S. Friedman have written a unique book that answers all these questions and many more. They give an overview of the historical origins of sandplay, including biographical profiles of the innovators together with discussions of their seminal writings. The five main therapeutic trends are explored, and in a final chapter the future of sandplay is discussed through addressing emerging issues and concerns. A special feature is a comprehensive international bibliography as well as a listing of sandtray videotapes and audiotapes.By Barbara G. Hanson. 1995

and maintenance of emotional disorders. It highlights the similarities and differences between disorders and offers specific new treatment implications. The book contains numerous summary sections so that readers less familiar with the cognitive literature can follow the main issues without being overwhelmed. The central aims of this work are: to review critically models of attention and their application to attentional processes in emotional disorders; To develop an integrative theoretical framework and model for conceptualizing attentional processes associated with the aetiology and maintenance of emotional stress reactions; and to discuss the implications for clinical practice of attentional theories of emotional dysfunction.By Richadd C. Marohn, Ernest S. Wolf. 1994

The persistence of anti-Semitism and its current resurgence after a brief post-Holocaust suppression, challenge those who study human behavior to…
locate the causal bases of anti-Semitism and find approaches to combat it. This is an astonishing report of a nine-year study of the psychodynamics of anti-Semitism. Undertaken by Dr. Mortimer Ostow on behalf of the Psychoanalytic Research and Development Fund, it puts flesh and bones on the discussion of antisemitism in Sigmund Freud's 1939 classic theoretical study Moses and Monotheism. Its close adherence to case material, and application of psychoanalytic theory to historical data and cultural products, yields new insights into bigotry and equity alike.By examining prejudiced patients and their myths, Dr. Ostow shows the common threads of anti-Semitism in a variety of national and cultural settings, even under supposed optimal conditions when antisemitism is stringently controlled. The work uses the psychiatric approach, and can be read as a study of how this area of behavioral science reveals the interplay of the individual and the group, cultural background and material opportunities.The book is divided into five major segments: Psychoanalytic interpretation of anti-Semitism in the past; clinical data on anti-Semitic sentiments in a variety of personal and national settings; mythological dimensions of anti-Semitism and apocalyptic doctrines; specific anti-Semitic myths including pre-Christian early and medieval Christian, "racial" and post-modern Muslim anti-Semitism. The final segment focuses on the pogrom mentality, including the Nazi phenomenon, antisemitic fundamentalism, and black anti-Semitism.Myth and Madness is informed by an amazing breadth of learning: from biblical exegesis to modern sociology, from close attention to mundane patients to evaluating mythic claims of the loftiest, and at times most dangerous sort. This is a landmark effort—one that will be the touchstone for theoretical and clinical works to come.By Ernest R. Hilgard, Josephine R. Hilgard. 1994
Written by a psychologist and a psychiatrist noted for their expertise as both practitioners and researchers, the book illustrates how…
hypnosis can significantly alleviate the pain of childbirth, medical or dental surgery, burns or other accidental injuries, cancer, and chronic syndromes. With over 600 references covering the field of modern research into the mechanisms of pain, the authors convey a thorough understanding of findings and limitations of available empirical studies. Yet the book remains exceptionally clear and non-technical and will appeal not only to professionals involved with pain reduction but to lay people as well. The Hilgards address a broad spectrum of topics relating to hypnosis and pain, ranging from an historical review to a consideration of future areas for investigation. They thoughtfully tackle the controversy still surrounding the nature of hypnosis - is it an altered state of consciousness or a pattern of behaviour adopted by both subject and hypnotist? The concluding section presents the Hilgards' neo-dissociation theory of hypnosis as well as a highly useful technique for assessing susceptibility in clinical situations. Pain has been called the greatest unsolved problem in medicine. Hypnosis in the Relief of Pain, with its honest and complete appraisal of the role of hypnosis on pain reduction, will contribute significantly to the understanding and broader use of this noninvasive and natural healing phenomenon.By Dr Eduard Estivill. 2014
La edición ampliada y actualizada del libro que ha enseñado a dormir a millones de niños en todo el mundo.…
Dormir bien es esencial para el desarrollo físico y mental de los niños, y lograr que duerman bien es fundamental para la estabilidad de la familia. Duérmete, niño explica de una forma clara y sencilla el tratamiento científico para enseñar a dormir a los niños, unas normas serias y rigurosas que son recomendadas también por la Asociación Americana de Pediatría y la Asociación Americana de Medicina del Sueño, y que han enseñado a dormir a millones de niños en todo el mundo. Conseguir que un niño con problemas de sueño logre quedarse dormido y no se desvele varias veces en una misma noche resulta una tarea desesperante y lenta si no sabe hacerse adecuadamente. Por el contrario, aprender a solucionar el insomnio infantil puede ser una tarea relativamente fácil y sencilla. En este libro el doctor Estivill os explicará los pasos que debéis seguir para acabar con los problemas de sueño de vuestro hijo o hija y, por defecto, con sus principales consecuencias: irritabilidad, somnolencia, inseguridad y problemas para relacionarse.By Kenneth Lambert. 1994

Scholarly interest in issues of self-identity has exploded across disciplines within the humanities and social sciences in recent years. Common…
to these concerns are the assumptions that self-identity is not an a priori, not given or fixed, but created in the process of communication. This also assumes that social institutions and values are produced and reproduced by individuals in interaction. To capture the essential characteristics of a person requires analysis of how the social and psychological intersect in moments of communication.Interaction and Identity contributes, theoretically and empirically, to contemporary scholarly interest in issues of identity. Chapters and contributors to this stand alone volume include: "Part/Whole Discovery: Stages of Inquiry" by Thomas Scheff; "Communication" by Gregory Bateson; "Internal Muzak: An Examination of Intrapersonal Relationships" by Linda Lederman; "The Constitution of Identity as Gendered in Psychoanalytic Therapy: Ideology and Interaction" by Margaret Carr; and "The (Reconstruction and Negotiation of Cultural Identities in the Age of Globalization" by Getinet Belay.The multiple disciplines of social research with contemporary interest in identity are ably reflected in Interaction and Identity. The authors are drawn from eight disciplines: anthropology, communication, information science, linguistics, philosophy, psychoanalysis, psychology, and sociology. This book will be invaluable to scholars in all these areas—above all in communication research as such.
