    Editorial Terracota Más allá de la sobriedad: Método clínico para la

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisEsta obra se centra en el proceso de recuperaciÓn de las personas adictas, desde el enfoque Gestalt, a travÉs del modelo de automodulaciÓn. Describe la adicciÓn buscando las raÍces de la recuperaciÓn, mÁs allÁ de la sobriedad. Esta apuesta es una alternativa a los modelos tradicionales que solo se enfocan en el dejar de consumir. Michael Craig Clemmens, desde su experiencia personal y profesional, identifica a la persona adicta como un cliente que necesita trabajar sus conflictos particulares, no los “problemas de los adictos”. El autor sostiene que la labor del terapeuta consiste en explorar el poder de atracciÓn que ejerce la intoxicaciÓn en el cliente, a travÉs del darse cuenta; no como un asunto de conducta incorrecta vs correcta, sino como un patrÓn que tuvo cierta funcionalidad para el adicto. Clemmens tambiÉn resalta la importancia de generar en terapia un campo relacional desde una perspectiva compasiva y prÁctica: compasiva, al valorar la experiencia del adicto, su historia familiar y su dolor, a menudo negado; prÁctica, al enfocarse en el impacto que tiene el consumo de drogas en la persona, y en los demÁs, es decir, lo que sucede.This book focuses on the road to recovery for those struggling with addiction. It starts with the Gestalt method and also uses the self-modulation approach. It describes addiction and aims to identify the root causes of it. Understanding the cause of addiction can lead to a recovery that goes beyond sobriety. This offers alternative methods, as opposed to prior approaches based on ceasing the ingestion of a substance. Michael Craig Clemmens brings his personal and professional experiences to the table and identifies addicts as those that need help working on their inner conflicts. He doesn’t focus on “the problems of addicts”. The author explores the lure that leads people to intoxicate themselves. Clemmens doesn’t paint a black and white picture of correct vs. incorrect behavior; rather, he focuses on patterns that affects people with addictions. Clemmens also highlights the importance of creating therapeutic methods that are practical and compassionate. It is important to validate an addict's experience, family history, angst, and often the denial of it all. It’s essential to focus on the impact the drugs can have on a person.

Work is stressful: We race to meet deadlines. We extend ourselves to return favors for colleagues. We set ambitious goals for ourselves and our teams. We measure ourselves against metrics, our competitors, and sometimes, our colleagues. Some of us even go beyond tangible metrics to internalize stress and fear of missing the--ruminating over presentations that didn't go according to plan, imagining worst-case scenarios, or standing frozen, paralyzed by perfectionism. But hypervigilance, worry, and catastrophizing don't have to hold you back at work. When channeled thoughtfully, anxiety can motivate us to be more resourceful, productive, and creative. It can break down barriers and create new bonds with our colleagues. Managing Your Anxiety will help you distinguish stress from anxiety, learn what anxiety looks like for you, understand it, and respond to it with self-compassion at work. With the latest psychological research and practical advice from leading experts, you'll learn how to recognize how your anxiety manifests itself; manage it in small day-to-day moments and in more challenging times; experiment and find a mindfulness practice that works for you; and build a support infrastructure to help you manage your anxiety over the long term.

  • Hopkins Fulfillment Service Happy Pills in America

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisWith a barrage of ask your doctor about advertisements competing for attention with shocking news of drug company malfeasance, Happy Pills is an invaluable look at how the commercialization of medicine has transformed American culture since the end of World War II.Trade ReviewExcellent... stresses the dynamics of sex roles and social class that underlie the culture of psychotropic drug use. He grounds the success of tranquilizers in the consumer culture that emerged after World War II, emphasizing the shrewd marketing techniques that allowed drug companies to separate their products, which appealed to a largely white, middle-class constituency, from the illegal drugs that were used by marginalized racial, ethnic, and class groups. Drug companies also promoted the tranquilizers in ways that reinforced traditional sex roles, implying that their products would allow men to strengthen their authority at home and in the office and would allow women to embrace their duties as wives and mothers. -- Allan V. Horwitz, Ph.D. New England Journal of Medicine 2009 By placing human action at the heart of this culturally rich history, Herzberg has written a masterful account of the travels of 'happy pills' from Madison Avenue to your medicine cabinet. Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences 2009 Do read this book. It will make you even more thoughtful about your next prescription for antidepressants. British Medical Journal 2009 Herzberg does an excellent job of expounding on the interplay of social, cultural, and commercial forces that influenced the rise and fall of these blockbuster drugs. Journal of Clinical Investigation 2009 Herzberg deftly explains the dispensing of 'happy pills' within the prism of Cold War class consciousness while the US fought a discordant contemporaneous 'war on drugs.' Choice 2009 [Avoids] heated debates between advocates of psychotropic medication such as Peter Kramer and vocal critics such as Peter Breggin and David Healy. Instead, Herzberg shows us how the meanings attached to such drugs evolved from a complex interplay of shifting interests, including those of marketers, patients and doctors. Although the story is a complicated one, it is highly readable and Herzberg tells it using plain, non-technical language. Metapsychology 2009 The book admirably achieves its main aim: describing the reception of tranquilizers in the popular imagination of postwar America. It also draws attention to the important issue of happiness as an increasingly medicalized commodity in that context. -- Nicolas Rasmussen Bulletin of the History of Medicine 2009 A brilliant book, rich and mind-bending... Unlike most others on the subject, Happy Pills seeks not to condemn or celebrate but to understand. I find it hard not to praise it too much, not to become a marketing tool urging its wider distribution and intellectual consumption. -- Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz Business History Review 2009 Herzberg eloquently guides us through the world of happy pills in post-World War II America... Happy Pills is an engaging, insightful, and well-researched book that makes a strong contribution to the historical and social study of science. -- Lorna Ronald Journal of American History 2009 Herzberg is a a social historian and meticulous auditor of the progress of psychotropic medication in the USA... On the one hand these drugs offer escape from the stresses and strains of socio-economic relations; on the other hand they are a direct product of those relations. -- David Pilgrim Sociology of Health and Illness 2009 Truly a dizzying array of data on the history of the science, commerce, marketing, medicine, psychiatry and psychology, all aspects of the history of the pills, is a major achievement... Herzberg's book, exemplifying history of medicine as a thoroughly interdisciplinary field, is important and timely. -- Susan K. Rishworth Pharmacy in History 2009 An incisive cultural history that documents the transformation of these medications into 'happy pills' for the middle class. -- Peter Conrad Contexts 2010 Welcome and informative... a kind of protest against the tendency to assume that the issues surrounding psychiatric drug use can be reduced to scientific or technological factors. American Historical Review 2010 This well-crafted book combines historical perspectives with the enduring issues of consumerism, patients' rights, ethical principles, and the role of pharmaceutical companies in marketing medicines. Technology and Culture 2010 Highlights important implications of the cultural embrace of lifestyle drugs for dealing with everyday problems of living. BioSocieties A timely book, persuasive and well documented. Psychiatric Services This extremely well-written and well-researched book demands, and deserves, a wide audience. Medical History 2010 Written with verve, it offers myriad ways to understand the complexity and range of its subject. Not only does it illuminate American drug cultures; it also demonstrates the rich interplay of invention, marketing, advertising, expertise, regulation, medical practice, and consumption. -- Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz Business History Review 2009 An excellent starting point from which to explore many changes in post-war American psychiatry, changes that have affected the way in which we conceptualize, analyse and treat mental illness. -- Matthew Smith History of Psychiatry 2010Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction: Medicine, Commerce, and Culture1.

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisAnn Cvetkovich combines memoir and cultural critique in search of ways of writing about depression as a public cultural and political phenomenon rather than as a personal medical pathology.Trade Review"A provocative addition to Ann Cvetkovich's eloquent writings on the archives of public feelings, this book takes depression out of the space of the private into the complex politics of our time. Weaving together memoir, cultural and medical history, and literary and theoretical discussion, Cvetkovich experiments with and reflects on unconventional ways of writing about embodiment, cognition, and affect. Along the way, she offers myriad prescriptions, small and large, on how to cope with the daily effects of depression and how to heal the world."—Marianne Hirsch, author of The Generation of Postmemory: Writing and Visual Culture after the Holocaust"Combining cultural critique with nuanced readings of queer aesthetic practices, and mixing theoretical reflections on experience with experiments in memoir, Depression: A Public Feeling delivers not only critical insights but also wisdom. The book offers a model for something like collective or collaborative authorship; framed as a project conceived in concert with a far-flung community of academics, activists, and artists, Depression is a departure from academic business as usual. This is a profoundly inspiring book."—Heather Love, author of Feeling Backward: Loss and the Politics of Queer History“Aesthetics, anecdotes and evidence against the medical model.” -- Tyler Cowen * New York Times Magazine *“Depression: A Public Feeling… sets out to challenge ‘contemporary medical notions’ of depression ‘that simultaneously relieve one of responsibility (it’s just genes or chemicals) and provide agency (you can fix it by taking a pill)’. . . . In anatomising her ‘lived experience’ of writer’s block, Cvetkovich invites the reader to ask whether, despite the trade-specific terminology, this is still a symptom exclusive to writers. . . . [H]er perceptions are agile.” -- Talitha Stevenson * New Statesman *“Depression succeeds at opening up a public discussion on certain kinds of depression that are often dismissed as trivial, like the stress of academic labour. . . . [C]lear and helpful with a vision for overcoming melancholy through a transformation of everyday life.” -- William Burton * Lambda Literary Review *“[Cvetkovich] has taken some huge risks with Depression. Rather than building a traditional academic argument with research and theory, the book combines stylistically distinct and potentially disparate parts that add up to a highly readable, relatable, radical treatise that provides many points of entry and fresh thinking on one of the most overexamined subjects of the past few decades.” -- Cindy Widner * Austin Chronicle *“At one end, Depression is a call to expand how we frame and engage with depression, and at the other it’s an internal appeal to academia to accept personal experience as a valid source material for scholarship. By melding the personal and the academic, Cvetkovich is creating an important new forum for how we discuss depression. . . . The material is totally fascinating. . . .” -- Nina Lary * Bitch *“Cvetkovich offers us an introduction to thinking critically about depression's causes and its manifestations as well as, perhaps, the localised tactics that are necessary to enable recovery. At the end, she turns rather sweetly to crafting as one reparative habit, partly because of the aesthetic of connectivity that it can stimulate. Knitting yourself out of depression: it's kind of folksy, but I liked it.” -- Sally Munt * Times Higher Education *“The book’s merit is in jolting us out of our habit of thinking about depression as a personal, medical issue, reminding us of the ways in which the rules and roles of society influence our psyches and feelings about ourselves. By taking depression out of the exclusive domain of the therapeutic culture, [Cvetkovich] challenges us to make new connections between the individual’s experience of depression and life within a depressive culture.” -- Irene Javors * Gay & Lesbian Review *“[A]n experiment in connecting personal feelings with social conditions and critical analysis. . . . Cvetkovich finds a variety of ways to utilize the tools of academe to build a shelter from the traumas of academe. It's both funny and oddly endearing to see an academic response to depression that turns it into a field, organizes conferences and protests with special and entertaining dress requirements, recommends cures for writing blocks, and appropriates American anxiety in the interest of getting academic work published.” -- Elaine Showalter * Chronicle Review *“Although she is not the first to consider that institutionalized racism causes depression, Cvetkovich’s take on academia’s ills is unique. . . . Still, Depression is not a pity party. Cvetkovich offers hope to all who fight depression by suggesting that as she has emerged from despair, so can others.” -- Rachel Pepper * Curve *“Cvetkovich draws us into her own encounters with various obstacles and leaves us with the sense that all the insights she has gained have been unexpected gifts—earned through lots of hard work, but still contingent, provisional, uncertain. If you have ever been a struggling academic, you will relate, and you will feel grateful.” -- Aaron Sachs * American Quarterly *"It is important that Cvetkovich is able to balance the personal desire for feeling better alongside a questioning of the investment that exists in both medical and critical social models of depression. Importantly, while this approach never undermines the experience of depression by positioning it only as a construction, it still draws attention to commonplace assumptions about feeling sad, being political and getting better. Cvetkovich weaves her own journal through the critical reading that makes her work so compelling—simultaneously taking seriously, and asking us to question, the more familiar narrative she has just shared." -- Jacqueline Gibbs * Feminist Review *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments ix Introduction 1 Part I.

    Book Synopsis "One of America''s most courageous young journalists" and the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling memoir Brain on Fire investigates the shocking mystery behind the dramatic experiment that revolutionized modern medicine (NPR).Doctors have struggled for centuries to define insanity--how do you diagnose it, how do you treat it, how do you even know what it is? In search of an answer, in the 1970s a Stanford psychologist named David Rosenhan and seven other people--sane, healthy, well-adjusted members of society--went undercover into asylums around America to test the legitimacy of psychiatry''s labels. Forced to remain inside until they''d "proven" themselves sane, all eight emerged with alarming diagnoses and even more troubling stories of their treatment. Rosenhan''s watershed study broke open the field of psychiatry, closing down institutions and changing mental health diagnosis forever. But, as Cahalan''s explosive new research shows in this real-life detective story, very little in this saga is exactly as it seems. What really happened behind those closed asylum doors?
