Psicoterapia de niños y adolescentes.

Este libro está dirigido a los profesionales del mundo de la psicología y pretende ofrecer recursos para trabajar con el paciente de una forma sencilla y amigable, favoreciendo un espacio de encuentro y confianza. A través de las distintas actividades presentadas en formato de pequeñas historias con soporte gráfico se aborda una gran diversidad de temáticas que en nuestra práctica clínica hemos observado que pueden ser motivo de sufrimiento psicoemocional en niños y jóvenes. Estas se clasifican en función de su objetivo con un soporte teórico que permite una comprensión más amplia e integral. Cada actividad aborda un tema relevante en la vida de los niños, como la rabia, el miedo, los celos, el exceso de autoexigencias, la mirada negativa de las cosas, integrar tanto nuestras características positivas como negativas, aceptarse como uno es; herramientas para tomar decisiones, qué pasa con la visión de los padres a medida que los niños crecen, entre muchos otros. También plantea algunos problemas frecuentes en las familias de hoy, como la separación de los padres. Si bien el material terapéutico existía hace años, su organización y sistematización en esta obra es fruto de cuatro años de trabajo en equipo. Las técnicas contenidas han sido utilizadas con éxito durante cuatro décadas en más de tres mil niños.

Fear of Contamination


Book Description

"From a leader in the field of psychotherapy this new book is the first dedicated to the topic of the fear of contamination. The book starts by defining the disorder, before considering the various manifestations of this fear, examining both mental contamination and contact contamination, and feelings of disgust. Most significantly it develops a theory for how this problem can be treated, providing clinical guidelines - based around cognitive behavioural techniques."--BOOK JACKET.




Health Status and Health Policy


Book Description

This book has two major objectives. The first is to propose the Health Resource Allocation Strategy as a social and political process for comparing costs and outcomes of alternative policy options in the health and medical care arena to select interventions with greatest benefit in relation to cost. The second objective is to provide a reference for state-ofthe-art development and application of health status and quality of life measures for health care policy and research, including clinical applications. Not all policy applications of health- related quality of life involve resource allocation. Thus we present guidelines to assessment for use in program evaluation, monitoring of health policy, clinical trials, and health services research.




Ethics for Behavior Analysts


Book Description

Behavior analysis, a rapidly growing profession, began with the use and application of conditioning and learning techniques to modify the behavior of children or adults presenting severe management problems, often because of developmental disabilities. Now behavior analysts work in a variety of settings, from clinics and schools to workplaces. Especially since their practice often involves aversive stimuli or punishment, they confront many special ethical challenges. Recently, the Behavior Analysis Certification Board codified a set of ten fundamental ethical guidelines to be followed by all behavior analysts and understood by all students and trainees seeking certification. This book shows readers how to follow the BACB guidelines in action. The authors first describe core ethical principles and then explain each guideline in detail, in easily comprehensible, everyday language. The text is richly illuminated by more than a hundred vivid case scenarios about which the authors pose, and later answer questions for readers. Useful appendices include the BACB Guidelines, an index to them, practice scenarios, and suggested further reading. Practitioners, instructors, supervisors, students, and trainees alike will welcome this invaluable new aid to professional development.
