Nel 1954 viene pubblicata la traduzione francese di "Traum und Existenz" dello psicologo e psichiatra svizzero Ludwig Binswanger, accompagnata da un'introduzione di Michel Foucault. In queste pagine il filosofo annunciava il progetto di una "torsione della fenomenologia verso l'antropologia" per analizzare "quali sono stati i fondamenti offerti alla riflessione concreta sull'uomo". Foucault non pubblicò mai il libro, ma conservò il manoscritto qui presentato. In queste pagine compiva un esame sistematico della Daseinsanalyse, confrontandola con gli approcci della psichiatria, della psicoanalisi e della fenomenologia, e lodandone l'ambizione di comprendere la malattia mentale. Questo approccio lo accompagnava nella sua ricerca di "qualcosa di diverso dalle griglie tradizionali dello sguardo psichiatrico", un "contrappeso"; tuttavia il filosofo francese ne segnalava già le ambiguità e le debolezze, in particolare una deriva verso la speculazione metafisica che lo allontanava dall'"uomo concreto". Assistiamo, in effetti, a un duplice abbandono: prima della psichiatria e poi della stessa analisi esistenziale, che porterà presto alla prospettiva radicalmente nuova della Storia della follia nell'età classica. Il segno di quest'opera, tuttavia, non sarebbe scomparso. Nel 1984 Michel Foucault presentò infatti la sua Storia della sessualità nei seguenti termini: "Studiare le forme di esperienza in questo modo, nella loro storia, è un tema che mi è venuto da un progetto più antico: quello di utilizzare i metodi dell'analisi esistenziale nel campo della psichiatria e della malattia mentale".

Ob Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) eigentlich ein Medicus werden wollte, oder das nur einem Förderer zuliebe behauptete, bleibt unsicher. Sich selbst hielt er aufgrund seiner engen Brust für hypochondrisch veranlagt und wahrte daher Abstand zu gefährlichen Krankheiten, vor allem denen des Geistes. Seine Studenten - darunter Herder, Herz, Lenz und Hoffmann - begeisterte er weit weniger mit Logik und Metaphysik als mit aufregenden Erkenntnissen zu fernen Ländern, ihren fremdartigen Bewohnern und dort lauernden gesundheitlichen Gefahren. Für Körperkrankheiten forderte er jenseits einer veterinärmedizinisch angelegten Therapie deren philosophische Mitbehandlung. Für forensische Fragen reklamierte er die Zuständigkeit der philosophischen Fakultät. Zum Sitz der Seele entwickelte er originelle Ideen, die zum Bau eines ersten Nervenmodells führten. Vorbehalte gegen eine Pockenimpfung konnte Kant nicht überwinden, da er eine Veränderung der Keimbahn befürchtete. Er wollte sehen wie lang das Zeug hält und verwendete in seinen letzten Jahrzehnten alle klassischen Mittel der Diätetik um sein Leben erfolgreich zu verlängern. Diese sex res non naturales spielen auch heute noch eine unverminderte Rolle in der Prävention weit verbreiteter Erkrankungen. Dann setzte ihm die electrische Revolution der Luft-Straten zu. Gegen Ende sollten ihn seine Vertrauten wie ein Kind betrachten, das der Nachwelt jedoch noch ein umfangreiches Werk mit tiefen Einblicken in sein Denken hinterliess, das Opus postumum.

This book is a guide for child psychotherapists interested in applying clinical behavioral analysis to their work and for clinical behavior analysts working with children. In the literature of behavior analysis, a considerable number of publications present clinical strategies to more effectively conduct therapeutic interventions with adults and adolescents, but there is still a lack of publications that address practical aspects of the work of the child behavior analytic therapist. This volume aims do fill this void by bringing together chapters written by therapists who share their views on theoretical and practical aspects of child care and describe the stages and challenges of the psychotherapy process with clients of up to 12 years of age. Chapters in this volume provide an overview of the specific knowledge and techniques clinical behavior analysts need to master to work with children, such as theories of child development from the perspective of behavior analysis; biological influences on the development of child behavior; clinical assessment and definition of therapeutic goals in the work with children; how to include functional play in clinical settings; and how to involve parents and the school in the therapeutic process. Additionally, specific chapters focus on the application of third wave behavioral therapies, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Functional Analytic Psychotherapy, to the clinical work with children.Clinical Behavior Analysis for Children will be a valuable resource for psychotherapists and clinical psychology students looking for a guide to understand the specificities of clinical behavior analysis applied to child psychotherapy.

In fast-paced everyday life, it is becoming increasingly important to find an antipole.

This non-fiction book explains the background and facts about the effect of forest visits on a scientifically sound basis and sensitizes readers to the great health benefits of forest bathing (Shinrin-Yoku) and forest therapy. As an oasis of tranquility, the forest invites you to slow down, regenerate and draw new energy. Written for interested lay people - psychotherapists, doctors and other health professionals can read along. From the contents: How the forest and its climate affect us - How to discover and use the forest and its atmosphere for your health. The Authors: Prof. Dr. Dr. Angela Schuh and Gisela Immich, M.Sc., research the effects of forests and climate onhealth at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich, Germany, and develop concepts for preventive forest use as well as forest therapy. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Waldtherapie - das Potenzial des Waldes für Ihre Gesundheit by Angela Schuh and Gisela Immich, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2019.

Nicht erst seit dem Jahr 2010 wird über das Thema der sexuellen Gewalt geforscht und gesprochen. Aber wie sprechen betroffene Menschen in biographischen Interviews über ihre Erfahrungen sexueller Gewalt in Kindheit und Jugend? Und wie gehen sie im Verlauf ihres Lebens dazu über, über diese Erfahrungen zu sprechen oder wenden sich davon ab? Die Studie leistet einen Beitrag zu einer erziehungswissenschaftlich ausgerichteten Gewaltforschung in Anlehnung an das Konzept der Artikulation. Sie zeigt auf, wie der Übergang zum Sprechen über sexuelle Gewalt in Kindheit und Jugend in diskursive und gesellschaftliche Verhältnisse einerseits sowie in biographische Erfahrungen und Bearbeitungsstrategien andererseits eingebunden ist. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird die Vielfältigkeit "des" Sprechens über Sexuelle Gewalterfahrungen beleuchtet und verschiedene Modi der Artikulation Sexueller Gewalt vorgestellt. Auf der Grundlage von drei Falldarstellungen wird der Übergang zum Sprechen als mehrdimensionaler, nicht-linearer und relationalerProzess definiert.Die AutorinAndrea Pohling ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin an der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main am Institut für Sozialpädagogik und Erwachsenenbildung. Ihre Arbeitsschwerpunkte und Forschungsinteressen sind Kindheits- und Jugendforschung, Forschung im Kontext der Themen Sexualität, (sexuelle) Gewalt und Diskurse, Methoden qualitativer Sozialforschung sowie forschungsethische Fragen und Spannungsfelder.

This handbook examines state-of-the-art research and clinical findings on attenuated psychosis syndrome (APS) across the globe. It addresses symptoms, assessment methods, and treatment approaches as they differ and converge across countries and cultures. The handbook explores how the illness impairs many aspects of daily functioning, with high rates of suicide and a reduced life span. It details how early detection is critical and may greatly reduce the public health burden of the illness. Chapters describe the early identification and intervention efforts that are currently underway across the world. The book offers international findings from prominent researchers, elaborating culturally relevant illness symptoms, help-seeking behaviors, and assessment and intervention strategies. In addition, chapters illustrate wide variations in symptom expression and experience, reinforcing the necessity of culturally attuned practice in patient-centered care. The book concludes by examiningthe implications - challenges and opportunities - for future research and clinical practices from an international perspective.Topics featured in the Handbook include:Barriers to service in low-resourced countries. The role of traditional or culturally acceptable care in developing early intervention models. The reliability and validity of tools for assessing and identifying APS.Possible medical diagnoses that can present with APS symptoms and how to differentiate these conditions from APS. The Handbook of Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome Across Cultures is a must-have resource for researchers, professors, clinicians, and related professionals as well as graduate students in child and school psychology, psychiatry, social work, and related disciplines.
