Vilka regioner i hjärnan är involverade när man kommunicerar med någon, och spelar det någon roll om det är talat språk eller teckenspråk? Finns det några skillnader i hjärnans aktivering när man lyckas respektive misslyckas med att plocka fram minnen? Aktiveras yngre och äldre personers hjärnor på olika sätt, och kan hjärnans sätt att lösa en uppgift ändras efter en hjärnskada? Detta är några exempel på centrala frågor inom kognitiv neurovetenskap, ett forskningsområde som handlar om att förstå hur komplexa kognitiva funktioner uppstår i samspel mellan hjärnans många olika delar.I Kognitiv neurovetenskap beskrivs grundläggande funktioner som perception, uppmärksamhet, språk, minne och emotion. Men även komplexa förmågor som medvetande och exekutiva funktioner behandlas. Författaren ger också kliniska och tillämpade perspektiv genom att diskutera individuella skillnader samt förändringar kopplade till åldrande, sjukdom och skada.Kognitiv neurovetenskap är grundligt omarbetad och uppdaterad sedan förra upplagan, bland annat med avsnitt om neurogenes, kognitiv arkitektur och deep learning. Dessutom presenterar författaren den omfattande metodutveckling som skett inom området.Boken vänder sig till studerande och yrkesverksamma inom områden som medicin och vård, psykiatri, psykologi och kognitionsvetenskap.

Overklighetskänslor är den första boken på svenska om depersonalisationssyndrom (DDD). Ledande forskare i USA och Storbritannien anser att syndromet är en av den moderna tidens mest förbisedda diagnoser.
”Det känns som om det är en hinna mellan mig och världen.”
”Det känns som om jag befinner mig inuti en bubbla.”
”Jag känner mig som en främling inför mig själv.”
De här citaten är exempel på upplevelser av depersonalisation. Upplevelser som alla säkert har varit med om vid enstaka tillfällen, men där det för några inte går över utan blir till ett varaktigt tillstånd.
Patienter beskriver att de möts av oförståelse när de berättar om sina symtom, och det dröjer lång tid innan de får rätt diagnos.
Kunskap om syndromet har efterfrågats av både professionen – för att kunna ställa rätt diagnos och ge adekvat behandling – och av personer som själva lider av syndromet. Det är avgörande att inte få fel behandling eftersom det kan förvärra patientens upplevelser.
Boken bygger på en första svensk studie där man kartlagt förekomsten av DDD, kompletterat med ett antal djupintervjuer; levande och personliga symtombeskrivningar förmedlar ett viktigt inifrånperspektiv och visar samtidigt på hur olika symtombild och förlopp kan te sig.
Boken vänder sig till alla som vill ha mer kunskap om diagnosen: psykologer, psykiatrer, psykoterapeuter och övriga inom hälso- och sjukvården som kommer i kontakt med dessa patienter, och personer som känner igen sig i symtomen och deras anhöriga.
Författare är Anna Strid med förord av German Berrios, professor i psykiatri vid Cambridge University.
Anna Strid är född 1975 och uppvuxen i Kalmar. Hon är legitimerad psykolog med privat mottagning. Anna har även erfarenhet av utredningar och behandlingar inom barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin. Hennes examensarbete tillsammans med kollega handlade om depersonalisationssyndrom och rönte uppmärksamhet när den blev tillgänglig på internet. Hon blir fortlöpande kontaktad av personer som känner igen sig i arbetets beskrivning av DDD. Anna Strid har tidigare varit verksam som konstnär och är utbildad i fri konst vid Kungliga Konsthögskolan. Hon är sedan flera år bosatt i Tomelilla.

När vi ställs inför ångest, depression, självskadebeteende och psykos uppfattar vi det ofta som svårbegripligt och främmande. Med Må dåligt vill författarna öka förståelsen för psykisk ohälsa. De visar både hur olika tillstånd yttrar sig i vardagslivet och hur allmänmänskliga psykologiska processer bidrar till dem.
Bokens utgångspunkt är att psykisk ohälsa utvecklas i samspel mellan den omgivande miljön och vad vi lär oss av våra erfarenheter under livet. Ett huvudbudskap är att psykisk hälsa inte är detsamma som ett liv fritt från det som kan vara plågsamt, utan det avgörande är ett liv som är värt att leva.
Må dåligt riktar sig till studerande och yrkesverksamma inom människovårdande områden, samt till alla som vill lära sig mer om psykisk ohälsa.
...en mycket välskriven och informativ bok. Den är lättfattlig och håller samtidigt en hög professionell nivå. De tre författarna, samtliga verksamma psykologer, har samlat kunskap om olika uttryck för psykisk ohälsa och söker förklara de psykologiska processer som ligger bakom dessa.

Extensive evidence shows that six to ten sessions of narrative exposure therapy (NET) can be sufficient to provide considerable relief from events such as organized violence, torture, war, rape, and childhood abuse. The new manual is even more clearly structured and easy-to-follow, and includes new figures that help illustrate and guide the reader through the steps of NET. The theoretical sections offer a solid basis for carrying out the therapeutic intervention. The reader is then shown the NET approach step by step, with robust and straightforward practical advice and tools, including how to deal with challenging situations, e.g., how to go deeper when faced with the challenging dynamics of remembering trauma, and how to manage dissociation, avoidance, strong emotions, lost memories, or the sudden emergence of unexpected recollections from the past. NET therapy conversations and resulting narrations from trauma scenes demonstrate the level of narrative exposure details required. Finally, the importance of reading back the testimony to the individual is explained.A new section on the variations of NET details how to offer KIDNET for children and young people, FORNET for victims of trauma who are perpetrators of violence, NETfacts for communities, and ElderNET for older adults as well as online NET (eNET). Experienced therapists also get an idea of how NET is typically trained and how to facilitate NET exercises. Downloadable resources include an informed consent form and checklists for the therapist.This book is an invaluable resource for clinical psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, counsellors, crisis workers, social workers, health workers, and physicians.

A 25th anniversary edition of the number one, multi-million copy international bestseller that taught us how emotional intelligence is more important than IQ - 'a revolutionary, paradigm-shattering idea' (Harvard Business Review)Featuring a new introduction from the authorDoes IQ define our destiny? In his groundbreaking bestseller, Daniel Goleman argues that our view of human intelligence is far too narrow. It is not our IQ, but our emotional intelligence that plays a major role in thought, decision-making and individual success. Self-awareness, impulse control, persistence, motivation, empathy and social deftness: all are qualities that mark people who excel, whose relationships flourish, who can navigate difficult conversations, who become stars in the workplace. With new insights into the brain architecture underlying emotion and rationality, Goleman shows precisely how emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened in all of us.

Decolonizing Therapy
Oppression, Historical Trauma, and Politicizing Your Practice

An essential work that centres colonial and historical trauma in a framework for healing, Decolonizing Therapy illuminates that all therapy is—and always has been—inherently political. To better understand the mental health oppression and institutional violence that exists today, we must become familiar with the root of disembodiment from our histories, homelands and healing practices. Only then will readers see how colonial, historical and intergenerational legacies have always played a role in the treatment of mental health.This book is the emotional companion and guide to decolonisation. It is an invitation for Euro-centrically trained clinicians to acknowledge privileged and oppressed parts while relearning what we thought we knew. Ignoring collective global trauma makes delivering effective therapy impossible; not knowing how to interrogate privilege (as a therapist, client or both) makes healing elusive; and shying away from understanding how we as professionals may be participating in oppression is irresponsible.

This groundbreaking book offers a comprehensive theory of executive functioning (EF) with important clinical implications. Synthesizing cutting-edge neuropsychological and evolutionary research, Russell A. Barkley presents a model of EF that is rooted in meaningful activities of daily life. He describes how abilities such as emotion regulation, self-motivation, planning, and working memory enable people to pursue both personal and collective goals that are critical to survival. Key stages of EF development are identified and the far-reaching individual and social costs of EF deficits detailed. Barkley explains specific ways that his model may support much-needed advances in assessment and treatment.See also Barkley's empirically based, ecologically valid assessment tools: Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (BDEFS for Adults) and Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale--Children and Adolescents (BDEFS-CA).

For fans of How We Heal and Keep Moving, therapist and author of Already Enough, Lisa Olivera blends her own personal experience of battling depression with therapeutic wisdom in a moving exploration of the emotional pain each of us lives with, offering readers guidance on creating a life of presence and beauty not without it, but alongside the various aches we carry.Emotional pain, of all kinds and magnitudes, is part of life. We'll never be able to find ourselves free of it; no meditation or amount of therapy will cure us of the harder parts of being alive. The practice of turning toward the ache with care - reverence, even - might be one of the most meaningful gifts we can give ourselves. It might even save us.Lisa Olivera has confronted this reality for years as a therapist, weaving her exploration of it throughout her popular newsletter, Human Stuff. She asks questions like, how do we confront and tend to the painful parts of being human without letting that pain entirely overtake us? How do we find joy even when depression visits, even when we lose someone we love, even when the hurt of the world is ever-present? How do we cultivate aliveness in the midst?When the Ache Remains explores these questions for readers in a tender and wise exploration of how ache shapes life, how we can alchemize our pain into medicine, and how presence is accessible even in the midst of difficulty. Blending deeply personal narrative, humanistic psychology, lessons from nature, words of nourishment, and her naturally poetic undertone, Lisa invites readers on a journey alongside her as she explores the impact of depression and the process of learning to tend to it, and all of our aches, in more open, integrative, and loving ways.

From elementary schools to psychotherapy offices, mindfulness meditation is an increasingly mainstream practice. At the same time, trauma remains a fact of life: the majority of us will experience a traumatic event in our lifetime and up to 20% of us will develop posttraumatic stress. This means that anywhere mindfulness is being practised, someone in the room is likely to be struggling with trauma.At first glance, this appears to be a good thing: trauma creates stress and mindfulness is a proven tool for reducing it. But the reality is not so simple.Drawing on a decade of research and clinical experience, psychotherapist and educator David Treleaven shows that mindfulness meditation—practised without an awareness of trauma—can exacerbate symptoms of traumatic stress. Instructed to pay close, sustained attention to their inner world, survivors can experience flashbacks, dissociation and even retraumatisation.This raises a crucial question for mindfulness teachers, trauma professionals and survivors everywhere: How can we minimise the potential dangers of mindfulness for survivors while leveraging its powerful benefits?Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness offers answers to this question. Part I provides an insightful and concise review of the histories of mindfulness and trauma, including the way modern neuroscience is shaping our understanding of both. Through grounded scholarship and wide-ranging case examples, Treleaven illustrates the ways mindfulness can help—or hinder—trauma recovery.Part II distills these insights into five key principles for trauma-sensitive mindfulness. Covering the role of attention, arousal, relationship, dissociation and social context within trauma-informed practice, Treleaven offers 36 specific modifications designed to support survivors’ safety and stability. The result is a groundbreaking and practical approach that empowers those looking to practise mindfulness in a safe, transformative way.

Behavioural experiments are one of the central and most powerful methods of intervention in cognitive therapy. Yet until now, there has been no volume specifically dedicated to guiding physicians who wish to design and implement behavioural experiments across a wide range of clinical problems.The Oxford Guide to Behavioural Experiments in Cognitive Therapy fills this gap. It is written by clinicians for clinicians. It is a practical, easy to read handbook, which is relevant for practising clinicians at every level, from trainees to cognitive therapy supervisors.Following a foreword by David Clark, the first two chapters provide a theoretical and practical background for the understanding and development of behavioural experiments. Thereafter, the remaining chapters of the book focus on particular problem areas. These include problems which have been the traditional focus of cognitive therapy (e.g. depression, anxiety disorders), as well as those which have only more recently become a subject of study (bipolar disorder, psychotic symptoms), and some which are still in their relative infancy (physical health problems, brain injury). The book also includes several chapters on transdiagnostic problems, such as avoidance of affect, low self-esteem, interpersonal issues, and self-injurious behaviour. A final chapter by Christine Padesky provides some signposts for future development.Containing examples of over 200 behavioural experiments, this book will be of enormous practical value for all those involved in cognitive behavioural therapy, as well as stimulating exploration and creativity in both its readers and their patients.

Executive functions are a set of cognitive processes we use to act on information, manage resources, and plan and monitor our own behaviour, all with the aim of achieving an end goal. These are skills that develop from infancy. While 'reading' has been extensively studied in psychology literature, 'writing' has been somewhat neglected, despite a lack of capability in this area being linked to poverty and social exclusion.This book is the first comprehensive and state-of-the-art review of the relationship between executive function skills and writing. It explores its role across the lifespan, addressing all groups of writers, from children and those with learning and language difficulties, to adults and elders. It considers theoretical viewpoints, assessment and methodological issues, and developmental disorders, and closes with insightful commentary chapters that draw future directions for investigating executive functions.Written by internationally recognized scholars in the field, this is a new and innovative contribution which will provide essential reading among researchers, educators, and graduate students interested in understanding the cognitive underpinnings of writing throughout the lifespan

A groundbreaking exploration of the neuroscience of spirituality and a bold new paradigm for health, healing, and resilience'Lisa Miller is the leading psychologist of her generation' Martin Seligman'We can live chasing goals and rewards, lost in worries and regrets. Or we can awaken to the true fabric of the world, an evolving tapestry that we both behold and help to create, in which every thread matters and no strand stands alone'Whether it's meditation or a walk in nature, reading a sacred text or saying a prayer, there are many ways to tap into a heightened awareness of the world around us and our place in it. Lisa Miller draws on decades of clinical experience and award-winning research to show that humans are universally equipped with this capacity for spirituality, and that our brains become more resilient and robust as a result of it. Bringing scientific rigour to the most intangible aspect of our lives, Miller's counterintuitive findings reveal the measurable positive effects of spirituality: for better decision-making, a healthier brain and an inspired life.Brimming with inspiration and compassion, this landmark book revolutionizes our understanding of spirituality, mental health and how to find meaning and purpose in life.
