Boken Psykisk ohälsa hos äldre av Susanne Rolfner Suvanto ger kunskap för att upptäcka, förstå och förebygga psykisk ohälsa hos äldre samt råd om bemötande och förhållningssätt. Här finns också fallbeskrivningar och diskussionsfrågor. Budskapet är att psykisk ohälsa inte är en naturlig del av åldrandet utan ett tillstånd som går att behandla och ofta bota. Var femte person över 65 år beräknas lida av psykisk ohälsa. Dit hör bland annat depression, ångesttillstånd, substansbrukssyndrom och psykossjukdomar. Men trots att så många äldre drabbas uppmärksammas denna ohälsa betydligt mindre än till exempel demenssjukdomar. Många får inte heller den vård och omsorg de behöver. Psykisk ohälsa hos äldre är den andra och omarbetade upplagan av Mellan äldreomsorg och psykiatri. Boken vänder sig främst till personal inom vård och omsorg om äldre personer, men även till studerande. Den kan också användas som studiematerial, inte minst i diskussioner kring bemötande och fördomar. Observera att innehållet i denna bok är identiskt med föregående upplaga.

Arbetslivet är en central arena för att främja den psykiska hälsan. Psykisk hälsa i arbetslivet handlar om hur psykisk ohälsa och hälsa relaterar till arbetsplatsens villkor.

Boken vänder sig också till studenter inom hälso-, personal-, beteende-, social- och arbetsvetenskap.
Diagnosens makt : om kunskap, pengar och lidande

Det psykiska lidandet är omfattande i millennieskiftets Sverige. Utbrändhet, stressrelaterat trötthetssyndrom, depression, självskärande, övervikt, anorexi, asperger och ADHD är bara några av namnen. Den allt starkare medikaliseringen och psykiatriseringen av människors psykologiska och sociala problem gör att biomedicinens tolkningsföreträde vid dessa tillstånd sällan ifrågasätts. I boken möts forskare och kliniska praktiker kring kontroversiella frågor som rör psykiskt lidande och den behandling som erbjuds. – Är utbrändhet en sjukdom? Hur uppstår nya former av psykiskt lidande? – Vad är normalt resp. avvikande uppförande? Har området för det normala blivit snävare? – Hur skapas en diagnos? – Är ADHD en vetenskaplig diagnos? – Finns det en pendelrörelse mellan att betona arv resp. miljö som orsaker till psykiskt lidande? – Är medicin alltid billigare än psykoterapi? – Är det pengarna som styr skapandet av ny kunskap? – Vilka förhållanden gynnar forskningsfusk och hur bevaras forskarnas integritet. Redaktören Gunilla Hallerstedt skisserar i sin introduktion de senaste decenniernas samhällsförändringar, de nya formerna av psykiskt lidande och sätt att tala om dem. Karin Johannisson, professor i idé- och lärdomshistoria i Uppsala, hävdar att diagnosen fungerar som en kommentar till samhället, ett gränsvärde för vad som uppfattas som normalt, rimligt och acceptabelt. Sigmund Soback, chef för Psykoterapienheten vid Stockholms läns landsting, ger en överblick över sjukdomsstatistik. 1998-2003 ökade antalet nyanmälda långtidssjukskrivna pga utbrändhet, depression eller svår stress nästan fem gånger – bland människor under 35 år har siffran nästan 9-dubblats. Men vilken hjälp får de? Och vad betyder evidensbaserad behandling på psykoterapins område? Enligt Eva Kärfve, docent i sociologi i Lund, har den biologiska människosynen varit dominerande i många sekler; förklaringen till särdrag och egenheter har varit blodsarv. Hur slår det igenom i synen på avvikelser och vid diagnosticering? Thomas Brante, professor i sociologi i Lund, granskar den amerikanska psykiatrin och kontroversen kring diagnosen ADHD. Aant Elzinga, vetenskapsteoretiker och prof. emeritus, reflekterar utifrån de tidigare inläggen och visar hur forskarvärlden, entreprenörsvärlden och den politiska världen är insnärjda i varandra.

The Guide to Interpersonal Psychotherapy is the definitive, practical guide to Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) for clinicians and researchers. IPT is a well-researched, time-limited, and diagnosis-focused therapy. An update and expansion of the original 1984, 2000, and 2007 IPT manuals, this guide illustrates not only individual IPT treatment for patients with major depression but adaptations of IPT for different diagnoses, patient populations, and treatment formats. This book is the basis for the extensive research that has validated IPT and led to its listing in treatment guidelines.Written by the originators of the treatment and one of its leading researchers, this updated and expanded guide describes how to approach clinical encounters with patients, how to focus IPT treatment, and how to handle therapeutic difficulties. IPT can be combined with medication, and it is a safe alternative to medication for individuals who may not be able to take antidepressants. IPT has been shown not only to relieve symptoms but to build social skills as well. Learn how to use IPT to effectively treat depression and other disorders including bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, posttraumatic stress, and borderline personality disorder. With clinical examples and sample therapist scripts throughout, The Guide summarizes the theoretical and empirical background of IPT and focuses on teaching you the best way to deliver this effective, immensely practical treatment.
Möta Jesus i stormen : om livet som kristen med psykiska hälsoutmaningar

I mötet med psykisk ohälsa, räcker det inte med ”tunna” diagnoser och förklaringar som riskerar att stigmatisera och ge människor en stämplad identitet. För en djupare förståelse behövs ”tjocka” beskrivningar. Sådana kan endast växa fram i en öppen dialogprocess där människors unika berättelser blir lyssnade på med respekt.
Utifrån kvalitativa forskningsintervjuer med personer som vill ”leva med Jesus” och som samtidigt lever under någon av diagnoserna depression, schizofreni och bipolär sjukdom, strävar John Swinton i boken Möta Jesus i stormen efter just en sådan djupare förståelse. Han reflekterar teologiskt – i dialog med medicinska, psykologiska och filosofiska perspektiv – över såväl samhällets som psykiatrins och kyrkans bemötanden, och hur ett helande bortom botandet kan se ut.
Resultatet är en enastående och prisbelönad bok som handlar om personer i stället för symtom, beskrivningar i stället för diagnoser och om ett livgivande hopp för de som lever mitt i stormen. Boken vänder sig till alla som på något sätt berörs av psykiska hälsoutmaningar, oavsett om man arbetar inom kyrkan eller vården, vill vara en god medvandrare eller själv lever med en sådan utmaning.
John Swinton är professor i praktisk teologi vid Aberdeens universitet i Skottland, med särskild inriktning mot området teologi och funktionsvariation. Swinton har en mångårig bakgrund som sjuksköterska inom bland annat psykiatrin, har grundat Aberdeens Centre for Spirituality, Health, and Disability och är en flitigt anlitad föreläsare världen över.

Deep Brain Reorienting introduces a novel, evidence-based approach to the treatment of trauma-related disorders. Steeped in neuroscience, this book builds on recent scientific contributions to the effects of shock, trauma, and neglect on the brain at the deepest levels. Enhanced by detailed case material and underpinned by a strong theoretical framework, the authors give special attention to clinically significant forms of dissociation, as well as attachment wounding and its treatment. This neurobiologically informed focus offers fresh perspectives, reaching beneath the level of cognitive, affective, and defensive components of traumatic responding.Written at the interface of neuroscience and psychotherapy, this book will be invaluable to psychotherapists whose clinical practice is calling for new ways to work with the effects of traumatic experiences. In addition, several hypotheses will appeal to research-oriented psychotherapists and clinically-led researchers in a range of fields.

'Girl, Interrupted for the age of the prescription pill... compelling, important, haunting.'-THE NEW YORK TIMES'A really moving and heart-rending story. Unshrunk will help and empower so many people.' -JOHANN HARI'Unshrunk is the story of a young woman who dared to be herself, and a potent reminder of why human suffering can never be reduced to a diagnostic manual. A must read.'-ANNA LEMBKE, author of Dopamine NationAt age fourteen, Laura Delano's parents took her to her first psychiatrist. At school, she was the model student, but at home Laura felt an uncontrollable rage that she unleashed on family, friends and herself. She was promptly diagnosed with bipolar disorder and started on a course of mood stabilizers and antidepressants.It was to mark the beginning of a painful and relentless journey. For the next thirteen years, Laura sought help from the best psychiatrists and hospitals, accumulating an ever-expanding list of diagnoses and prescriptions for nineteen different drugs. She accepted her diagnoses and embraced the pharmaceutical regime she'd been told was necessary to manage her incurable, lifelong disease. But as her symptoms only got more severe and eventually she was deemed 'treatment resistant', Laura began to wonder if the drugs and diagnoses were the cure - or had they become the problem?Weaving together Laura's medical records and doctors' notes with illuminating research on the drugs she was prescribed, Unshrunk is the powerful memoir of one woman's battle against the commercial psychiatric industry and the role it plays in shaping what it means to be human.

“Pollan keeps you turning the pages . . . cleareyed and assured.” —New York TimesA #1 New York Times Bestseller • New York Times Book Review • 10 Best Books of 2018 New York Times Notable Book • Author of the highly anticipated forthcoming book, A World AppearsA brilliant and brave investigation into the medical and scientific revolution taking place around psychedelic drugs--and the spellbinding story of his own life-changing psychedelic experiencesWhen Michael Pollan set out to research how LSD and psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) are being used to provide relief to people suffering from difficult-to-treat conditions such as depression, addiction and anxiety, he did not intend to write what is undoubtedly his most personal book. But upon discovering how these remarkable substances are improving the lives not only of the mentally ill but also of healthy people coming to grips with the challenges of everyday life, he decided to explore the landscape of the mind in the first person as well as the third. Thus began a singular adventure into various altered states of consciousness, along with a dive deep into both the latest brain science and the thriving underground community of psychedelic therapists. Pollan sifts the historical record to separate the truth about these mysterious drugs from the myths that have surrounded them since the 1960s, when a handful of psychedelic evangelists inadvertently catalyzed a powerful backlash against what was then a promising field of research.A unique and elegant blend of science, memoir, travel writing, history, and medicine, How to Change Your Mind is a triumph of participatory journalism. By turns dazzling and edifying, it is the gripping account of a journey to an exciting and unexpected new frontier in our understanding of the mind, the self, and our place in the world. The true subject of Pollan's "mental travelogue" is not just psychedelic drugs but also the eternal puzzle of human consciousness and how, in a world that offers us both suffering and joy, we can do our best to be fully present and find meaning in our lives.

In this “masterpiece... the preeminent historian of neuroscience” (Science) explores psychiatry’s frustrated efforts to understand mental disorders as medical disorders. Anne Harrington reveals how psychiatry’s waxing and waning theories have been shaped, not just by developments in the clinic and laboratory, but also by a surprising range of social factors. The “enthralling Mind Fixers” (Nature) recounts the past and present undertaking to understand the biological basis of mental illness—its potential and its limitations—in order to lay the groundwork for creating a better future, both for those who suffer and those whose job it is to care for them.

This Element's contribution explores the historiography of madness in the Modern era, including landmark publications in the overlapping fields of the history of psychiatry and the history of lunatic asylums. As this examination of almost 200 academic works will demonstrate, the field is vast and highly contested, with researchers sometimes disagreeing about the basic terms of analysis. Nevertheless, from Foucault to Fanon, from Goffman to Gilman, these debates about social and medical responses to madness have inspired some of the most influential academic scholarship of the twentieth century. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

What is person-centred dementia care, and how can it be used to improve care for people from diagnosis to end of life? How can we improve services in people's own homes, in care homes, in supported housing and in hospitals? This substantially updated second edition considers recent developments in person-centred care, presenting refreshed guidelines for practice.Dawn Brooker and Isabelle Latham explain the evolution of the key principles of person-centred care that comprise the VIPS model. They describe how it has been applied in diverse service settings, and show how to put the model into practice. A new chapter dedicated to culture of care will help service managers to get to grips with this slippery concept, and includes important information on how to guard against neglectful practice. Case studies from the CHOICE programme, a research project on culture of care, demonstrate the key factors that are important for people living with advanced dementia and complex needs to live well.

The life-changing power of managing anxiety, one bite at a time. In 2019, India Sturgis – successful journalist, mother and wife – was admitted into the Priory hospital with anxiety so crippling she was deemed a risk to herself. On her slow journey back to herself, it became clear to her that anxiety doesn’t discriminate, anyone can suffer from it regardless of external circumstances – but anyone can learn to cope with it too.On her personal journey to uncover the coping strategies that work, India tried every imaginable avenue: antidepressants, benzodiazepines, psychotherapy, group therapy, art therapy, drama therapy, CBT, aromatherapy, mindfulness, meditation, hypnosis, EFT, talking therapy, cranial electrotherapy stimulation, neurofeedback, photobiomodulation, supplements, changing her diet, yoga, cold water swimming and more. She combines this personal exploration with the latest medical and lifestyle thinking from world leading experts to produce a clear-sighted, comprehensive and – ultimately – human look at anxiety. This is what it’s like to be in the grip of chronic anxiety – and come out the other side.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This groundbreaking volume, published by the American Psychological Association in partnership with the International Union of Psychological Science, provides a detailed guide to clinical diagnosis by psychologists and other health professionals based on the eleventh revision of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11).The ICD-11 was adopted by the World Health Assembly in 2 9 and came into effect as the global standard for health information and reporting in 2 22. The ICD is the diagnostic system for mental disorders most widely used by mental health professionals around the world in their day-to-day clinical practice. This edited volume offers a step-by-step approach to diagnosis, giving mental health professionals around the world the tools they need to apply ICD-11 diagnostic requirements for mental, behavioral, and neurodevelopmental disorders as the basis for delivering high quality, evidence-informed care.A psychological approach to diagnosis is a conceptually driven, person-oriented, biopsychosociocultural formulation that integrates pertinent history, behavior, symptoms, phenomenology, and functioning. A psychological approach focuses on psychological mechanisms and principles as an aspect of diagnostic practice and case formulation, regardless of professional discipline. The chapters of this book cover the major groupings of mental disorder as well as related areas that are important parts of psychological practice, such as sexual dysfunctions, sleep-wake disorders, and relationship problems and maltreatment. The authors of this book are leading global experts in each area, many of whom were integrally involved in developing the respective sections of the ICD-11. Authors describe the overarching logic for the classificatory arrangement and the elements of a psychological approach to the set of disorders discussed in each chapter, including psychological models for conceptualizing their symptoms and recommendations for psychological assessment. The chapters also discuss presentations and symptom patterns for each major group of disorders, specifiers and subtypes, the threshold between normal variation and disorder, differential diagnoses, co-occurring disorders, developmental course, cultural and contextual considerations, and gender-related features. A Psychological Approach to Diagnosis is the first comprehensive training resource on WHO's ICD-11 classification of mental, behavioural and neurodevelopmental disorders. It provides practicing psychologists and other mental health professionals, primary care clinicians, educators, and trainees with essential tools for the competent practice of diagnosis using the ICD-11 as a framework.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book explores epistemic injustice in various aspects of social work practice, research, and education, and how those in the field can address issues of power, oppression, and institutionalized prejudice.This edited volume invites social work scholars, educators, practitioners, and students to deeply engage in the conversation about social justice and human rights on epistemic grounds. It begins with a simple but profound question: Whose knowledge counts, and whose voices are silenced? Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this book contextualizes epistemic injustice concepts such as testimonial, hermeneutical, and contributory justice across diverse social work settings to help readers better recognize when and how these concepts manifest in the profession and how to address them from an epistemic justice lens. The chapters span a range of issues relevant to the field, including health and mental health, transformative social work, and the inclusion of systemically marginalized voices in practice and research such as LGBTQIA+, disabled communities, and street-involved. Contributors draw on their first-hand experience teaching social work students and practicing and researching with culturally diverse communities across settings. Each chapter invites readers to consider and reimagine ways of resisting epistemic injustice in their work and how social workers can join in collective resistance in the epistemic domains of the profession.With case studies and practical examples throughout, this book is essential for social work students, educators, researchers, and practitioners of all levels. This guide serves both as a mirror to reflect the challenges within the profession and as a roadmap to chart pathways toward a more just, inclusive, and epistemically responsible field.
Rethinking Suicide
Why Prevention Fails, and How We Can Do Better
AvCraig J. Bryan
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022

Skickas
An examination of how suicide prevention efforts largely fail due to the mistaken assumption that greater mental health awareness is the key to saving lives. Over the last two decades, the US suicide rate has steadily grown despite extensive awareness campaigns, wide implementation of suicide prevention programs and initiatives, and increased mental health advocacy. To the confusion and frustration of researchers, healthcare providers, and many others, these efforts have largely failed to reverse the trend. Why do suicide rates continue to climb despite our best efforts? Why aren't we better at this? What are we doing wrong? Rethinking Suicide is a critical examination of what we think we know about suicide, with particular focus on the assumed role of mental illness. Craig J. Bryan, a leading expert on suicide prevention, argues that most prevention efforts have failed because they disproportionately emphasize mental health-focused solutions such as access to treatment and crisis services. Instead of classifying suicide as a mental health issue, careful analysis of research findings suggest it should instead be seen as a highly complex problem with many risk factors - from personal decision-making styles, to the availability of lethal means, to financial uncertainty. As such suicide rates will not be curtailed by conventional solution-oriented thinking; rather, we need process-based thinking that may, in some cases, defy or contradict many of our long-held assumptions about suicide. Rethinking Suicide interweaves the author's firsthand experiences with explanations of scientific findings to reveal the limitations of widely-used practices and to introduce new perspectives that may trigger a paradigm shift in how we understand and prevent suicide.

This engaging Research Handbook offers a comprehensive overview of research on social factors and mental health, examining how important it is to consider the social context in which mental health issues develop. It illustrates how social factors contribute to problems with mental health and how society, in turn, responds to people diagnosed with psychiatric disorders. Expert contributors provide an in-depth review of the history of social factors and mental health, and also discuss how boundaries between disorders such as bipolar and borderline personality disorder can be blurred and contested. Past and current social factors are thoroughly reviewed such as refugee mental health, stressors linked to discrimination based on race, gender or sexual orientation, exposure to police violence and the impact of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. The challenges and stigma faced by those diagnosed with disorders, alongside prejudices and discrimination in the health care system are also examined. The Research Handbook on Society and Mental Health will be an excellent resource for scholars studying social issues in relation to mental health or illness and researchers wishing to take an interdisciplinary approach by studying biopsychosocial factors. Mental health providers interested in well-rounded learning and those people experiencing and living with mental illness will find the alternative viewpoints to mainstream psychiatry and psychology informative and illuminating.

Using a non-pathologizing, accelerated approach -- rooted in neuroscience -- IFS applies inner resources and self-compassion for healing emotional wounding at its core. This new manual offers straight-forward explanations and illustrates a wide variety of applications. Easy to read and highly practical.Step-by-step techniquesAnnotated case examplesUnique meditationsDownloadable exercises, worksheetsIFS is Evidence-Based Thirty years ago, IFS creator Richard Schwartz, PhD, listened to his clients describing the behaviors and fears of their most extreme parts. He found that the inner world of all his clients was characterized by parts who had a positive intent for the client but had taken on extreme roles in an effort to be safe. He also discovered that these extreme parts would become less disruptive and more cooperative once their concerns were addressed and they felt safer. IFS views psychic multiplicity as the norm: we all have parts. In addition, every part has a good intention for the client, and every part has value. When clients listen to all their parts, they can heal their wounded parts. Today, IFS, which has established a legacy of efficiency and effectiveness in treating many mental health issues, is being heralded by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk as a treatment that all clinicians should know.
Shrinking Brain
Mental Health is affected by poor brain nutrition
AvMichael Crawford,David Marsh

The Global Mental Health Crisis is a direct result of the fact that, over time, the actual size of our brains is getting smaller. This is an historical fact but is entirely reversible with better brain nutrition. This has now reached crisis proportions. In 2023, The European Brain Council recognised that "Brain Health conditions have become a global health emergency". Back in 1972, Graham Rose wrote in the Sunday Times "Unless action is taken to care for the nutrition of the brain 'We will become a race of morons!' Authors Michael A Crawford and David E Marsh have both devoted their lives to this vital area of research. This book is their legacy. In painstaking detail, they put the case of how to reverse the Global Mental Health Crisis. With greater awareness of the problem, it’s cause and the solution required to make a change, their message could not be clearer. By reading this book you will not be able to say, “We didn’t realise”. This book may contain complex research and the result of detailed research, but the message is simple. And so is the action we all need to take. This book may contain complex research and the result of detailed research, but the message is simple. And so is the action we all need to take. We also explain the role of the environment in the evolution of the brain, leading to early Homo sapiens with a brain capacity of over 1,600cc, and explaining why it is now only 1,366 cc and mental ill-health is escalating. The concepts in this book have been fifty-one years in the making. They can't wait any longer. There is no more time. Presented with these incontrovertible facts, it does not need a rocket scientist to work out what will happen if these dumbing down trends continue! Fortunately, solutions are available which will lead to brighter and healthier children of the future.

Scott StosselThe last time Clancy Martin tried to kill himself was in his basement with a dog leash. He didn’t write a note.How Not to Kill Yourself is an affirmation of life by someone who has tried to end it multiple times. It’s about standing in your bathroom every morning, gearing yourself up to die. It’s about choosing to go on living anyway.In an unflinching account of his darkest moments, Clancy Martin makes the case against suicide, drawing on the work of philosophers from Seneca to Jean Améry. Through critical inquiry and practical steps, we might yet answer our existential despair more freely – and with a little more creativity.

Boken Psykisk ohälsa hos äldre av Susanne Rolfner Suvanto ger kunskap för att upptäcka, förstå och förebygga psykisk ohälsa hos äldre samt råd om bemötande och förhållningssätt. Här finns också fallbeskrivningar och diskussionsfrågor. Budskapet är att psykisk ohälsa inte är en naturlig del av åldrandet utan ett tillstånd som går att behandla och ofta bota. Var femte person över 65 år beräknas lida av psykisk ohälsa. Dit hör bland annat depression, ångesttillstånd, substansbrukssyndrom och psykossjukdomar. Men trots att så många äldre drabbas uppmärksammas denna ohälsa betydligt mindre än till exempel demenssjukdomar. Många får inte heller den vård och omsorg de behöver. Psykisk ohälsa hos äldre är den andra och omarbetade upplagan av Mellan äldreomsorg och psykiatri. Boken vänder sig främst till personal inom vård och omsorg om äldre personer, men även till studerande. Den kan också användas som studiematerial, inte minst i diskussioner kring bemötande och fördomar. Observera att innehållet i denna bok är identiskt med föregående upplaga.

Det psykiska lidandet är omfattande i millennieskiftets Sverige. Utbrändhet, stressrelaterat trötthetssyndrom, depression, självskärande, övervikt, anorexi, asperger och ADHD är bara några av namnen. Den allt starkare medikaliseringen och psykiatriseringen av människors psykologiska och sociala problem gör att biomedicinens tolkningsföreträde vid dessa tillstånd sällan ifrågasätts. I boken möts forskare och kliniska praktiker kring kontroversiella frågor som rör psykiskt lidande och den behandling som erbjuds. – Är utbrändhet en sjukdom? Hur uppstår nya former av psykiskt lidande? – Vad är normalt resp. avvikande uppförande? Har området för det normala blivit snävare? – Hur skapas en diagnos? – Är ADHD en vetenskaplig diagnos? – Finns det en pendelrörelse mellan att betona arv resp. miljö som orsaker till psykiskt lidande? – Är medicin alltid billigare än psykoterapi? – Är det pengarna som styr skapandet av ny kunskap? – Vilka förhållanden gynnar forskningsfusk och hur bevaras forskarnas integritet. Redaktören Gunilla Hallerstedt skisserar i sin introduktion de senaste decenniernas samhällsförändringar, de nya formerna av psykiskt lidande och sätt att tala om dem. Karin Johannisson, professor i idé- och lärdomshistoria i Uppsala, hävdar att diagnosen fungerar som en kommentar till samhället, ett gränsvärde för vad som uppfattas som normalt, rimligt och acceptabelt. Sigmund Soback, chef för Psykoterapienheten vid Stockholms läns landsting, ger en överblick över sjukdomsstatistik. 1998-2003 ökade antalet nyanmälda långtidssjukskrivna pga utbrändhet, depression eller svår stress nästan fem gånger – bland människor under 35 år har siffran nästan 9-dubblats. Men vilken hjälp får de? Och vad betyder evidensbaserad behandling på psykoterapins område? Enligt Eva Kärfve, docent i sociologi i Lund, har den biologiska människosynen varit dominerande i många sekler; förklaringen till särdrag och egenheter har varit blodsarv. Hur slår det igenom i synen på avvikelser och vid diagnosticering? Thomas Brante, professor i sociologi i Lund, granskar den amerikanska psykiatrin och kontroversen kring diagnosen ADHD. Aant Elzinga, vetenskapsteoretiker och prof. emeritus, reflekterar utifrån de tidigare inläggen och visar hur forskarvärlden, entreprenörsvärlden och den politiska världen är insnärjda i varandra.

The Guide to Interpersonal Psychotherapy is the definitive, practical guide to Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) for clinicians and researchers. IPT is a well-researched, time-limited, and diagnosis-focused therapy. An update and expansion of the original 1984, 2000, and 2007 IPT manuals, this guide illustrates not only individual IPT treatment for patients with major depression but adaptations of IPT for different diagnoses, patient populations, and treatment formats. This book is the basis for the extensive research that has validated IPT and led to its listing in treatment guidelines.Written by the originators of the treatment and one of its leading researchers, this updated and expanded guide describes how to approach clinical encounters with patients, how to focus IPT treatment, and how to handle therapeutic difficulties. IPT can be combined with medication, and it is a safe alternative to medication for individuals who may not be able to take antidepressants. IPT has been shown not only to relieve symptoms but to build social skills as well. Learn how to use IPT to effectively treat depression and other disorders including bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, posttraumatic stress, and borderline personality disorder. With clinical examples and sample therapist scripts throughout, The Guide summarizes the theoretical and empirical background of IPT and focuses on teaching you the best way to deliver this effective, immensely practical treatment.

I mötet med psykisk ohälsa, räcker det inte med ”tunna” diagnoser och förklaringar som riskerar att stigmatisera och ge människor en stämplad identitet. För en djupare förståelse behövs ”tjocka” beskrivningar. Sådana kan endast växa fram i en öppen dialogprocess där människors unika berättelser blir lyssnade på med respekt.
Utifrån kvalitativa forskningsintervjuer med personer som vill ”leva med Jesus” och som samtidigt lever under någon av diagnoserna depression, schizofreni och bipolär sjukdom, strävar John Swinton i boken Möta Jesus i stormen efter just en sådan djupare förståelse. Han reflekterar teologiskt – i dialog med medicinska, psykologiska och filosofiska perspektiv – över såväl samhällets som psykiatrins och kyrkans bemötanden, och hur ett helande bortom botandet kan se ut.
Resultatet är en enastående och prisbelönad bok som handlar om personer i stället för symtom, beskrivningar i stället för diagnoser och om ett livgivande hopp för de som lever mitt i stormen. Boken vänder sig till alla som på något sätt berörs av psykiska hälsoutmaningar, oavsett om man arbetar inom kyrkan eller vården, vill vara en god medvandrare eller själv lever med en sådan utmaning.
John Swinton är professor i praktisk teologi vid Aberdeens universitet i Skottland, med särskild inriktning mot området teologi och funktionsvariation. Swinton har en mångårig bakgrund som sjuksköterska inom bland annat psykiatrin, har grundat Aberdeens Centre for Spirituality, Health, and Disability och är en flitigt anlitad föreläsare världen över.

Deep Brain Reorienting introduces a novel, evidence-based approach to the treatment of trauma-related disorders. Steeped in neuroscience, this book builds on recent scientific contributions to the effects of shock, trauma, and neglect on the brain at the deepest levels. Enhanced by detailed case material and underpinned by a strong theoretical framework, the authors give special attention to clinically significant forms of dissociation, as well as attachment wounding and its treatment. This neurobiologically informed focus offers fresh perspectives, reaching beneath the level of cognitive, affective, and defensive components of traumatic responding.Written at the interface of neuroscience and psychotherapy, this book will be invaluable to psychotherapists whose clinical practice is calling for new ways to work with the effects of traumatic experiences. In addition, several hypotheses will appeal to research-oriented psychotherapists and clinically-led researchers in a range of fields.

Unshrunk will help and empower so many people.' -JOHANN HARI'Unshrunk is the story of a young woman who dared to be herself, and a potent reminder of why human suffering can never be reduced to a diagnostic manual. A must read.'-ANNA LEMBKE, author of Dopamine NationAt age fourteen, Laura Delano's parents took her to her first psychiatrist. At school, she was the model student, but at home Laura felt an uncontrollable rage that she unleashed on family, friends and herself. She was promptly diagnosed with bipolar disorder and started on a course of mood stabilizers and antidepressants.It was to mark the beginning of a painful and relentless journey. For the next thirteen years, Laura sought help from the best psychiatrists and hospitals, accumulating an ever-expanding list of diagnoses and prescriptions for nineteen different drugs. She accepted her diagnoses and embraced the pharmaceutical regime she'd been told was necessary to manage her incurable, lifelong disease. But as her symptoms only got more severe and eventually she was deemed 'treatment resistant', Laura began to wonder if the drugs and diagnoses were the cure - or had they become the problem?Weaving together Laura's medical records and doctors' notes with illuminating research on the drugs she was prescribed, Unshrunk is the powerful memoir of one woman's battle against the commercial psychiatric industry and the role it plays in shaping what it means to be human.

But upon discovering how these remarkable substances are improving the lives not only of the mentally ill but also of healthy people coming to grips with the challenges of everyday life, he decided to explore the landscape of the mind in the first person as well as the third. Thus began a singular adventure into various altered states of consciousness, along with a dive deep into both the latest brain science and the thriving underground community of psychedelic therapists. Pollan sifts the historical record to separate the truth about these mysterious drugs from the myths that have surrounded them since the 1960s, when a handful of psychedelic evangelists inadvertently catalyzed a powerful backlash against what was then a promising field of research.A unique and elegant blend of science, memoir, travel writing, history, and medicine, How to Change Your Mind is a triumph of participatory journalism. By turns dazzling and edifying, it is the gripping account of a journey to an exciting and unexpected new frontier in our understanding of the mind, the self, and our place in the world. The true subject of Pollan's "mental travelogue" is not just psychedelic drugs but also the eternal puzzle of human consciousness and how, in a world that offers us both suffering and joy, we can do our best to be fully present and find meaning in our lives.

In this “masterpiece... the preeminent historian of neuroscience” (Science) explores psychiatry’s frustrated efforts to understand mental disorders as medical disorders. Anne Harrington reveals how psychiatry’s waxing and waning theories have been shaped, not just by developments in the clinic and laboratory, but also by a surprising range of social factors. The “enthralling Mind Fixers” (Nature) recounts the past and present undertaking to understand the biological basis of mental illness—its potential and its limitations—in order to lay the groundwork for creating a better future, both for those who suffer and those whose job it is to care for them.

This Element's contribution explores the historiography of madness in the Modern era, including landmark publications in the overlapping fields of the history of psychiatry and the history of lunatic asylums. As this examination of almost 200 academic works will demonstrate, the field is vast and highly contested, with researchers sometimes disagreeing about the basic terms of analysis. Nevertheless, from Foucault to Fanon, from Goffman to Gilman, these debates about social and medical responses to madness have inspired some of the most influential academic scholarship of the twentieth century.

What is person-centred dementia care, and how can it be used to improve care for people from diagnosis to end of life? How can we improve services in people's own homes, in care homes, in supported housing and in hospitals? This substantially updated second edition considers recent developments in person-centred care, presenting refreshed guidelines for practice.Dawn Brooker and Isabelle Latham explain the evolution of the key principles of person-centred care that comprise the VIPS model. They describe how it has been applied in diverse service settings, and show how to put the model into practice. A new chapter dedicated to culture of care will help service managers to get to grips with this slippery concept, and includes important information on how to guard against neglectful practice. Case studies from the CHOICE programme, a research project on culture of care, demonstrate the key factors that are important for people living with advanced dementia and complex needs to live well.

The life-changing power of managing anxiety, one bite at a time. In 2019, India Sturgis – successful journalist, mother and wife – was admitted into the Priory hospital with anxiety so crippling she was deemed a risk to herself. On her slow journey back to herself, it became clear to her that anxiety doesn’t discriminate, anyone can suffer from it regardless of external circumstances – but anyone can learn to cope with it too.On her personal journey to uncover the coping strategies that work, India tried every imaginable avenue: antidepressants, benzodiazepines, psychotherapy, group therapy, art therapy, drama therapy, CBT, aromatherapy, mindfulness, meditation, hypnosis, EFT, talking therapy, cranial electrotherapy stimulation, neurofeedback, photobiomodulation, supplements, changing her diet, yoga, cold water swimming and more. She combines this personal exploration with the latest medical and lifestyle thinking from world leading experts to produce a clear-sighted, comprehensive and – ultimately – human look at anxiety. This is what it’s like to be in the grip of chronic anxiety – and come out the other side.

This groundbreaking volume, published by the American Psychological Association in partnership with the International Union of Psychological Science, provides a detailed guide to clinical diagnosis by psychologists and other health professionals based on the eleventh revision of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11).The ICD-11 was adopted by the World Health Assembly in 2 9 and came into effect as the global standard for health information and reporting in 2 22. The ICD is the diagnostic system for mental disorders most widely used by mental health professionals around the world in their day-to-day clinical practice. This edited volume offers a step-by-step approach to diagnosis, giving mental health professionals around the world the tools they need to apply ICD-11 diagnostic requirements for mental, behavioral, and neurodevelopmental disorders as the basis for delivering high quality, evidence-informed care.A psychological approach to diagnosis is a conceptually driven, person-oriented, biopsychosociocultural formulation that integrates pertinent history, behavior, symptoms, phenomenology, and functioning. A psychological approach focuses on psychological mechanisms and principles as an aspect of diagnostic practice and case formulation, regardless of professional discipline. The chapters of this book cover the major groupings of mental disorder as well as related areas that are important parts of psychological practice, such as sexual dysfunctions, sleep-wake disorders, and relationship problems and maltreatment. The authors of this book are leading global experts in each area, many of whom were integrally involved in developing the respective sections of the ICD-11. Authors describe the overarching logic for the classificatory arrangement and the elements of a psychological approach to the set of disorders discussed in each chapter, including psychological models for conceptualizing their symptoms and recommendations for psychological assessment. The chapters also discuss presentations and symptom patterns for each major group of disorders, specifiers and subtypes, the threshold between normal variation and disorder, differential diagnoses, co-occurring disorders, developmental course, cultural and contextual considerations, and gender-related features. A Psychological Approach to Diagnosis is the first comprehensive training resource on WHO's ICD-11 classification of mental, behavioural and neurodevelopmental disorders. It provides practicing psychologists and other mental health professionals, primary care clinicians, educators, and trainees with essential tools for the competent practice of diagnosis using the ICD-11 as a framework.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book explores epistemic injustice in various aspects of social work practice, research, and education, and how those in the field can address issues of power, oppression, and institutionalized prejudice.This edited volume invites social work scholars, educators, practitioners, and students to deeply engage in the conversation about social justice and human rights on epistemic grounds. It begins with a simple but profound question: Whose knowledge counts, and whose voices are silenced? Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this book contextualizes epistemic injustice concepts such as testimonial, hermeneutical, and contributory justice across diverse social work settings to help readers better recognize when and how these concepts manifest in the profession and how to address them from an epistemic justice lens. The chapters span a range of issues relevant to the field, including health and mental health, transformative social work, and the inclusion of systemically marginalized voices in practice and research such as LGBTQIA+, disabled communities, and street-involved. Contributors draw on their first-hand experience teaching social work students and practicing and researching with culturally diverse communities across settings. Each chapter invites readers to consider and reimagine ways of resisting epistemic injustice in their work and how social workers can join in collective resistance in the epistemic domains of the profession.With case studies and practical examples throughout, this book is essential for social work students, educators, researchers, and practitioners of all levels. This guide serves both as a mirror to reflect the challenges within the profession and as a roadmap to chart pathways toward a more just, inclusive, and epistemically responsible field.

To the confusion and frustration of researchers, healthcare providers, and many others, these efforts have largely failed to reverse the trend. Why do suicide rates continue to climb despite our best efforts? Why aren't we better at this? What are we doing wrong? Rethinking Suicide is a critical examination of what we think we know about suicide, with particular focus on the assumed role of mental illness. Craig J. Bryan, a leading expert on suicide prevention, argues that most prevention efforts have failed because they disproportionately emphasize mental health-focused solutions such as access to treatment and crisis services. Instead of classifying suicide as a mental health issue, careful analysis of research findings suggest it should instead be seen as a highly complex problem with many risk factors - from personal decision-making styles, to the availability of lethal means, to financial uncertainty. As such suicide rates will not be curtailed by conventional solution-oriented thinking; rather, we need process-based thinking that may, in some cases, defy or contradict many of our long-held assumptions about suicide. Rethinking Suicide interweaves the author's firsthand experiences with explanations of scientific findings to reveal the limitations of widely-used practices and to introduce new perspectives that may trigger a paradigm shift in how we understand and prevent suicide.

This engaging Research Handbook offers a comprehensive overview of research on social factors and mental health, examining how important it is to consider the social context in which mental health issues develop. It illustrates how social factors contribute to problems with mental health and how society, in turn, responds to people diagnosed with psychiatric disorders. Expert contributors provide an in-depth review of the history of social factors and mental health, and also discuss how boundaries between disorders such as bipolar and borderline personality disorder can be blurred and contested. Past and current social factors are thoroughly reviewed such as refugee mental health, stressors linked to discrimination based on race, gender or sexual orientation, exposure to police violence and the impact of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. The challenges and stigma faced by those diagnosed with disorders, alongside prejudices and discrimination in the health care system are also examined. The Research Handbook on Society and Mental Health will be an excellent resource for scholars studying social issues in relation to mental health or illness and researchers wishing to take an interdisciplinary approach by studying biopsychosocial factors. Mental health providers interested in well-rounded learning and those people experiencing and living with mental illness will find the alternative viewpoints to mainstream psychiatry and psychology informative and illuminating.

Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) provides a revolutionary treatment plan for PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, eating disorders and more. Using a non-pathologizing, accelerated approach -- rooted in neuroscience -- IFS applies inner resources and self-compassion for healing emotional wounding at its core. This new manual offers straight-forward explanations and illustrates a wide variety of applications. Easy to read and highly practical.Step-by-step techniquesAnnotated case examplesUnique meditationsDownloadable exercises, worksheetsIFS is Evidence-Based Thirty years ago, IFS creator Richard Schwartz, PhD, listened to his clients describing the behaviors and fears of their most extreme parts. He found that the inner world of all his clients was characterized by parts who had a positive intent for the client but had taken on extreme roles in an effort to be safe. He also discovered that these extreme parts would become less disruptive and more cooperative once their concerns were addressed and they felt safer. IFS views psychic multiplicity as the norm: we all have parts. In addition, every part has a good intention for the client, and every part has value. When clients listen to all their parts, they can heal their wounded parts. Today, IFS, which has established a legacy of efficiency and effectiveness in treating many mental health issues, is being heralded by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk as a treatment that all clinicians should know.

Mental Health is affected by poor brain nutrition

The Global Mental Health Crisis is a direct result of the fact that, over time, the actual size of our brains is getting smaller. This is an historical fact but is entirely reversible with better brain nutrition. This has now reached crisis proportions. In 2023, The European Brain Council recognised that "Brain Health conditions have become a global health emergency". Back in 1972, Graham Rose wrote in the Sunday Times "Unless action is taken to care for the nutrition of the brain 'We will become a race of morons!' Authors Michael A Crawford and David E Marsh have both devoted their lives to this vital area of research. This book is their legacy. In painstaking detail, they put the case of how to reverse the Global Mental Health Crisis. With greater awareness of the problem, it’s cause and the solution required to make a change, their message could not be clearer. By reading this book you will not be able to say, “We didn’t realise”. This book may contain complex research and the result of detailed research, but the message is simple. And so is the action we all need to take. This book may contain complex research and the result of detailed research, but the message is simple. And so is the action we all need to take. We also explain the role of the environment in the evolution of the brain, leading to early Homo sapiens with a brain capacity of over 1,600cc, and explaining why it is now only 1,366 cc and mental ill-health is escalating. The concepts in this book have been fifty-one years in the making. They can't wait any longer. There is no more time. Presented with these incontrovertible facts, it does not need a rocket scientist to work out what will happen if these dumbing down trends continue! Fortunately, solutions are available which will lead to brighter and healthier children of the future.
