Fototerapia Tecniche E Strumenti Per La Clinica E Gli Interventi Sul Campo

Questo manuale insegna ad usare in terapia foto e album di famiglia ed avviare così con i pazienti un dialogo che consenta di dare forma a sentimenti che altrimenti potrebbero rimanere celati all'indagine verbale. Judy Weiser spiega come usare questo dialogo per riportare alla memoria informazioni e ricordi dimenticati, frenati o rimossi, e come applicare queste intuizioni ad una efficace strategia terapeutica. Guida completa alla FotoTerapia, il manuale propone sia un quadro teorico in cui la tecnica si cala, sia tecniche dettagliate, illustrazioni aneddotiche ed esercizi pratici che aiuteranno gli psicoterapeuti ad avvicinarsi a questa pratica. Guardando tutti i tipi di fotografie - quelle che il paziente colleziona, quelle per le quali posa, o quelle che scatta - la Weiser spiega come far entrare il paziente in contatto con il linguaggio fotografico. Fornendo esempi tratti da casi reali per illustrare come le risposte dei pazienti possano essere integrate nel processo terapeutico, Judy Weiser presenta uno strumento che può essere utilizzato indipendentemente dalla matrice teorica di riferimento. Inoltre, ai lettori viene offerta la possibilità di scaricare dal sito della FrancoAngeli (www.francoangeli.it) nell'area Biblioteca Multimediale, un ricco materiale aggiuntivo di esercizi ed esempi.

PhotoTherapy techniques use personal snapshots and family photos to connect with feelings, thoughts, and memories during therapy and counselling sessions, in ways that words alone cannot do. PhotoTherapy Techniques: Exploring the Secrets of Personal Snapshots and Family Albums is the most comprehensive introduction to the field of PhotoTherapy available - and it is an excellent substitute for taking an introductory training workshop! This book, now in its second edition, explains and demonstrates each of the major techniques involved, and provides theoretical rationale from both psychology and art therapy contexts. It also includes many photo-illustrated client examples, case transcripts, and practical experiential "starter" exercises so that readers can immediately begin using these techniques in their own practice. PhotoTherapy Techniques has been reviewed in many professional mental health journals and numerous public-media articles, generated a lot of positive feedback from readers, and is used as a text for university courses as well as being selected as the text for "Continuing Education" licensing credit courses for numerous mental health professions (through distance education programs).

PHOTO ART THERAPY: A JUNGIAN PERSPECTIVE illuminates and guides the reader through new possibilities for art therapy practice, approached by the authors as a creative interaction with different artistic media and therapeutic methods. Although the book is based on Jungian theory and practice, the authors carefully explore cooperation with other therapeutic perspectives, all of which are in keeping with Jung's belief in transcendent universals and multifaceted therapeutic practices. The book is divided into four sections: Self-Understanding, Alleviating Distress and Symptoms, Group Therapy, and Discussion. Wherever possible and practical, photo art therapy work done by clients as illustrations of the concepts is included. The text not only demonstrates innovative ways of combining artistic media but allows clients to articulate the inner workings of the therapeutic process through an engaging series of dialogues and narrations. The book establishes a twofold landmark in elucidating art thera-py's close and vital connections to both phototherapy and the discipline of Jungian psychotherapy.

Obesity is currently regarded as one of the major health challenges of the developed world. Excess body weight is an important risk factor for morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, musculoskeletal disorders and even psychiatric problems and is estimated to cause nearly 3 million deaths per year worldwide. Obesity is not necessarily associated with comorbidities: there are indeed metabolically healthy obese individuals. Thus, we need to consider individuals presenting simple with obesity separately from those at risk of developing or who have already developed complex clinical states potentially leading to disability. Comorbidities can tip the balance of independence in patients who already have functional limitations mainly due to the excess of mass itself or who develop conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, where an abnormal metabolism of adipose tissue prevails. Morbid obesity with comorbidities leading to disability represents a real social and economic burden for National Health Systems worldwide. The presence of multiple and associated comorbidities often represents an obstacle to being admitted to hospitals for the treatment of metabolic diseases. On the other hand, clinical units with optimal standards for the treatment of pathological conditions in normal-weight patients are often structurally and technologically inadequate for the care of patients with extreme obesity. The aim of this book is to focus on the pathophysiological and rehabilitative aspects of disabling obesity, highlighting multidisciplinary rehabilitation interventions as key to counteracting the disabling aspects of complicated obesity.

A pionering inquiry on the role, perception and representation of emotional sphere in traditional Chinese culture provides a fascinating contribution on a key anthropological problem, in order to understand not only pre-modern private history, but also contemporary Chinese society. The importance of this work goes beyond Chinese studies.

Does traditional psychotherapy speak to women's experiences? What techniques are available for survivors of incest, women with bulimia, or victims of family violence? Healing Voices presents a framework for innovative new therapy developed out of the collective efforts of women and their therapists to express their unique identity. Going beyond theory, this book offers a helpful array of healing techniques, including role playing, storytelling, Jungian dreamwork, Native American healing, and guided imagery. Each chapter ends with the client's own description of feminist therapy that empowers the woman in her own healing. "A remarkable, useful resource that should be of interest to both sexes".--Booklist.
