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.

Leading therapists and researchers have come to understand that many psychological disorders share common features and respond to common therapeutic treatments. This deepened understanding of the nature of psychological disorders, their causes, and their symptoms has led to the development of new, comprehensive treatment programs that are effective for whole classes of disorders.

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.

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.

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.

"Varje gång depressionerna och ångesten bet sig fast så hårt att jag inte ville leva längre fanns Patrick också kvar, ibland i timmar, så att han var försäkrad om att jag kunde lägga mig och sova utan demoner. Återigen hasade jag mig ifrån datorn. Vad Patrick inte visste den här gången var att jag kröp på knäna och lade mig på hallgolvet i fosterställning. Tårarna kom inte lika intensivt. Hårisarna, det vill säga mina katter Selma och Foppa, kom nyfiket fram och undrade vad matte gjorde. Nosade, gosade och spann. Jag blev varm inombords av deras villkorslösa kärlek. Jag vet inte om de gick eller var kvar när jag slutligen somnade utmattad på det skitiga hallgolvet…" Så skriver Cecilia Asp i sin självbiografi som handlar om hennes kamp mot bipolär sjukdom. Cecilia Asp gick in i en djup depression mitt i sitt liv. En evighetskarusell pågick i sjukdomens självmordstankar, ångest, depression och manier som började. Hon insjuknade som 30-åring och fick sin diagnos ett några år senare. Hela hennes liv förändrades totalt och Cecilia blev tvungen att helt förändra sitt sätt att leva. Med Cecilia Asps bok "Med mitt liv i mina händer - att leva med bipolär sjukdom" för Cecilia vår förståelse för bipolär sjukdom till en ny nivå. Hennes detaljerade beskrivningar om vad känslan innebär att vara psykisk sjuk är främmande för många. Smärta, läkarbesök, terapi. Med boken "Med mitt liv i mina händer - att leva med bipolär sjukdom" vill Cecilia Asp berätta att den här boken handlar inte bara om henne, att den handlar om att belysa ett stort folkhälsoproblem. Hon tycker att det verkar finnas en kollektiv skam över att vara psykisk sjuk. Kunskapen är inte tillräckligt etablerad även om det gått framåt. Cecilia Asp tycker det är ett samhälleligt ansvar, mediciner och enträgna skrik och böner kan ibland vara vardag. Cecilia Asp har en viktig historia att berätta där smärtan river så hårt att läsaren inte kan lägga boken ifrån sig. Boken hon skrivit är en självbiografisk berättelse. Den är brutalt utlämnande och gripande. "En guidad tur på livets motorväg, som tar dig med på en naken resa... några varv i rondellen bland sjukvård, rehabilitering, försäkringskassan, känslor och arbete... åter ut på motorvägen i full fart... boken som nu landat i din hand kommer ge dig en levande insyn i hur det är att upptäcka, vårdas för och lära sig att leva med en diagnos" / Sophia Björklund Cecilia Asp lotsar läsaren genom sin bipolära sjukdoms alla irrgångar på ett personligt och insiktsfullt sätt. En gripande levnadsteckning och en viktig bok för att döda alla fördomar som fortfarande omger psykisk ohälsa. / Monica Kolkman

'Illuminating, riveting, and – for those of us who are suffering, or know people who are – potentially life-savingly helpful.' 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.

One of most influential social scientist of the twentieth century examines the meaning of the asylum'Psychiatric staff share with policemen the peculiar occupational task of hectoring and moralizing adults'This groundbreaking work of social science explores life in 'total institutions': the closed, regimented systems of prisons, boarding schools, nursing homes and, most importantly, mental hospitals, which cut individuals off from society. Focusing on the relationship between an inmate and the institution that contains them, Goffman unpicks how lives are managed 'on the inside', the loss of selfhood experienced by those held there, and the ways in which they try to regain their identities.'One of the most distinguished and provocative of social scientists' The Times

A provocative and shocking look at how western society is misunderstanding and mistreating mental illness. Perfect for fans of Empire of Pain and Dope Sick.In Britain alone, more than 20% of the adult population take a psychiatric drug in any one year. This is an increase of over 500% since 1980 and the numbers continue to grow. Yet, despite this prescription epidemic, levels of mental illness of all types have actually increased in number and severity.Using a wealth of studies, interviews with experts, and detailed analysis, Dr James Davies argues that this is because we have fundamentally mischaracterised the problem. Rather than viewing most mental distress as an understandable reaction to wider societal problems, we have embraced a medical model which situates the problem solely within the sufferer and their brain. Urgent and persuasive, Sedated systematically examines why this individualistic view of mental illness has been promoted by successive governments and big business - and why it is so misplaced and dangerous.

----------------------What if treating misery as a medical problem is making us miserable?
Fact: Someone dies by suicide every 40 seconds.
Fact: Antidepressant use in the West has more than doubled in the last two decades.
Fact: Despite great leaps forward in other branches of medicine, no biological test can currently diagnose any mental health problem.
So where are we going wrong?
In this revolutionary book, Rose Cartwright reveals how the failure of the mental health system to cure her OCD led her to radical action. While she explored her trauma through a series of mind-bending psychedelic trips, Rose started to interrogate our dominant medical paradigm. What if people's intense distress is not a symptom of illness, but a desperate expression of our need for love and connection? Rose set out on a quest to draw a new map of mental health, interviewing experts in psychiatry and neuroscience along the way: what she discovered will have implications for generations to come.

The life-changing power of managing anxiety, one bite at a time. In 2018, 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.

Psychologists receive several years of specialized study on the brain, behavior, and mental health, but despite the fact that over half ultimately end up in administrative or managerial roles, they receive no formalized training in the skills necessary to be successful in these roles. This book is the first of its kind to target the managerial and administrative skills necessary for the mental health professional. The book discusses practical information such as how to deal with personnel issues, how to set budgets and allocate resources, and how to document progress and maintain schedules in the domains of private practice, hospitals, government agencies, and universities. Chapter authors are well-known and successful psychologists within these settings and include Raymond Fowler, past president of the American Psychological Association.
