Emotional Transformation Therapy: An Interactive Ecological
Psychotherapy describes an entirely original approach to
psychotherapy that drastically accelerates therapeutic outcomes in
terms of speed and long-term effects. It includes an
attachment-based interpersonal approach that increases the impact
of the therapist-client bond and is amplified by the precise use of
the client's visual ecology. This synthesis is called Emotional
Transformation Therapy (R) (ETT (R)). Steven R. Vazquez, PhD,
discusses four techniques that therapeutically harness the client's
visual ecology. When the client is asked to view a maximally
saturated spectral chart of colors, visual feedback provides
immediate diagnostic information that helps the therapist to
regulate emotional intensity or loss of awareness of emotions. A
second technique offers an original form of directed eye movement
that facilitates relief of emotional distress within minutes. A
third technique uses peripheral eye stimulation to rapidly reduce
extreme emotional or physical pain within seconds as well as to
access previously unconscious thoughts, emotions, or memories
related to the issue or symptom. The fourth technique uses the
emission of precise wavelengths (colors) of light into the client's
eyes during verbal processing that dramatically amplifies the
effect of talk therapy and changes the brain in profound ways.
Emotional Transformation Therapy uses theory, research, and case
studies to show how this method can be applied to depression,
anxiety disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder, and complex
trauma. Pre and post brain scans have shown that ETT (R)
substantially changes the human brain. This method possesses the
potential to revolutionize psychotherapy as we know it.

consolidation, cognitive functioning, and emotion regulation. This
book provides an historic and current overview of the state of
sleep health with an emphasis on the interplay between several
levels of determinants and factors that influence sleep health. The
text provides students in the health professions with in-depth
discussion on the theory, research, and practice of sleep health,
while also detailing mechanisms, hypotheses, and determinants of
sleep and ways to improve sleep health.
Behavioral Neuroscience is a relatively recent discipline which
unifies different fields encompassing Cognitive Psychology,
Cognitive Science, Clinical Neurology, Neuroanatomy, and
Neurophysiology. Encyclopedia of Behavioral Neuroscience, Three
Volume Set is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary work written by
the best experts in the field, addressing the relationship between
the neurological and biological basis of behavior and models of
cognition, spanning from perception to memory and covering
phenomena that occur in human and other animals. Published in 2010,
it comprised 212 articles and was a unique and essential resource
for students and professionals in several fields including
neuroscience, psychology, neurology, psychiatry, and cognitive
science. It was by far the most comprehensive reference work
available addressing the advances in all the field of behavioral
neuroscience. It does however, now need revising with the latest
science. The new edition will again cover the relationship between
brain and behavior, both in humans and other animals, as well as
mental and brain disorders. This new edition spans accross three
volumes, 250 chapters and approximately 2000 pages. It will build
on the foundations of the first edition by thoroughly updating all
current articles with the latest research that has developed in the
last decade. In addition, 40 brand new articles on the hottest
topics within behavioral neuroscience will be added, covering areas
such as advances in behavioral genetics and epigenetics, cognitive
ageing, neuroepidemiology, social neuroscience, as well as the
upsurge of new technologies like diffusion tensor imaging or
transcranial direct current stimulation. The result will be an
all-encompassing one-stop interdisciplinary major reference work on
how the brain and its disorders influence behavior, perfect for
neuroscience students, clinicians and scientists interested in
knowing more about behavior from a biological perspective.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can occur through road traffic
incidents, falls, or violence, and is therefore an extremely
prevalent type of injury, constituting a significant burden on
health care around the world. As more people are able to recover
physically from TBI, it is important to consider how to help repair
the cognitive functions of the brain. The cognitive functions could
be greatly maximized by appropriate Neuropsychological
rehabilitation, which occurs within months of the damage. This book
discusses both the theoretical and practical applications of
Neuropsychological rehabilitation techniques, offering a
comprehensive overview of the process. Using several case studies
from India, gained over years of clinical practice, research and
academic teaching, this book offers an excellent guide to the
procedures and tasks needed to respond effectively to patients with
TBI. Although focused on the Indian context, this book will appeal
to students and practitioners around the world as a useful resource
on Neuropsychological rehabilitation techniques in India.
The Oxford Handbook of Metamemory investigates the human ability to
evaluate and control learning and information retrieval processes.
Each chapter in this authoritative guide highlights a different
facet of metamemory research, including classical metamemory
judgments; applications of metamemory research to the classroom and
courtroom; and cutting-edge perspectives on continuing debates and
theory. Chapters also provide broad historical overviews of each
research area and discussions of promising directions for future
research. The breadth and depth of coverage on offer in this
Handbook make it ideal for seminars on metamemory or metacognition.
It would also be a valuable supplement for advanced courses on
cognitive psychology, of use especially to graduate students and
more seasoned researchers who are interested in exploring
metamemory for the first time.
Neuropsychology is a specialized branch of psychology which focuses
on the relationship between the brain and human functions including
cognition, behaviour, and emotion. With an emphasis on a scientific
approach which includes analysing quantitative data,
neuropsychology follows an information processing approach to brain
activity using standard assessments to evaluate various mental
functions. This book examines the standardized battery of tests in
neuropsychology, with a particular focus on forensic applications
of these tests, suggesting that a united theory of assessment needs
to be established. Bringing together multiple articles related to
forensic neuropsychology, this book offers an exploration of the
neurological and psychometric theoretical basis for standardized
batteries as well as a comparison between flexible and standardized
batteries. Ultimately, it is argued that a standardized battery of
tests need to be used and explains the justification for the
reliability of this approach, especially in relation to expert
witness testimony. While doing this, formal procedures, including
advanced mathematical procedures such as formulas and decision tree
algorithms, are presented to be utilized in assessments. With its
thorough examination of the theoretical and practical applications
of a standardized battery in neuropsychological assessment, this
book will prove helpful to clinical practitioners and attorneys
using assessment for their cases.
This volume brings together new papers advancing contemporary
debates in foundational, conceptual, and methodological issues in
cognitive neuroscience. The different perspectives presented in
each chapter have previously been discussed between the authors, as
the volume builds on the experience of Neural Mechanisms (NM)
Online - webinar series on the philosophy of neuroscience organized
by the editors of this volume. The contributed chapters pertain to
five core areas in current philosophy of neuroscience. It surveys
the novel forms of explanation (and prediction) developed in
cognitive neuroscience, and looks at new concepts, methods and
techniques used in the field. The book also highlights the
metaphysical challenges raised by recent neuroscience and
demonstrates the relation between neuroscience and mechanistic
philosophy. Finally, the book dives into the issue of neural
computations and representations. Assembling contributions from
leading philosophers of neuroscience, this work draws upon the
expertise of both established scholars and promising early career
researchers.
This contributed volume discusses the multiple roles of astrocytes,
which determine the progression and outcome of neuropsychiatric
diseases. This emerging area of study examines the ways in which
astrocytes are involved in various aspects of disease initiation,
progression and resolution. This monograph aims to integrate the
body of information that has accumulated in recent years revealing
the active role of astrocytes in neuropsychiatric pathology and in
psychiatric disorders. Understanding roles of astrocytes in
pathology will provide new targets for medical intervention and aid
the development of much needed therapeutics. This book will be
valuable for researchers and workers in the fields of neurobiology,
neurology, and psychiatry, as well as fill the need for a textbook
used in advanced courses/graduate seminars in glial
pathophysiology.
Communication is a key component of everyday life, but what happens
when an individual is faced with a communication disorder? Today,
the prevalence of individuals with communication disorders has
increased substantially. However, many of these ailments are poorly
understood, and medical professionals often lack the training and
research necessary to manage and treat these individuals. The
Handbook of Research on Psychosocial Perspectives of Human
Communication Disorders is a critical scholarly resource that
covers needs-based issues pertaining to the assessment and
management of communication disorders. It provides the latest
research on the importance of early identification, as well as
prevention and intervention practices to promote healthy cognitive,
speech, language, motor, social, and emotional development.
Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as speech
therapy for children, behavior therapy, and communication
disorders, this book is a vital reference source for clinical
psychologists, audiologists, speech-language pathologists, special
education teachers, occupational therapists, physiotherapists,
physiatrists, otolaryngologists, and neurologists.
This is a book on how to gain control of one's emotions. It is a
serious book that contains a theory of automatic processing it
presents and its implications for controlling emotions. Epstein is
a professor of personality psychology and a highly regarded
research psychologist who has supported his theory with extensive
research published in the most demanding professional journals. He
was motivated to write the book by the success of a course he
taught based on his theory. Students reported obtaining an
understanding and control of their emotions that they never thought
possible and that they said changed the course of their lives.
According to the theory, people operate by two minds, a
rational-analytical mind and an intuitive-experiential mind, the
latter being intimately associated with emotions. Each mind
operates by its own principles and each has its own form of
intelligence. The intelligence of the rational-analytical mind is
measured by IQ tests and the intelligence of the
intuitive-experiential mind (which is related to emotional
intelligence) by the Constructive Thinking Inventory (CTI), a test
developed by Epstein that is included in the book. By understanding
the principles of operation of the intuitive-experiential mind, it
is possible to train it as well as to learn from it, and thereby to
improve one's emotional intelligence. The book provides exercises
for applying the principles in everyday life and a review of a
variety of other procedures for improving emotional intelligence.
It is suited for use as a primary or supplementary text in courses
on improving emotional intelligence or coping with stress as well
as for individual reading.
This fourth volume contains further ground-breaking and highly
relevant work. Taking on the placebo and nocebo phenomenon, pain
management and muscles and pain the volume yet again promotes the
forward thinking and cutting edge work of the Physiotherapy Pain
Association. In Part 1 a number of internationally renowned
clinicians and researchers have come together to produce the first
published attempt to broadly address and critically appraise the
placebo and nocebo phenomenon from a clinical perspective for
physiotherapists. The information and the way the material is
presented should fascinate as well as challenge readers to think
and work differently. Understanding the placebo fully requires a
radical shift in thinking about human recovery mechanisms and the
way in which treatments can be triggered to work at their most
efficient. Part 2 takes on three more pain management topics - the
integration of pain management approaches and techniques for
individual therapists working with individual patients or in
'out-patient' settings; information giving for patients and
addressing the taxing problem of improving fitness in patients with
chronic pain related incapacity. The last part is devoted to some
major issues surrounding the relationship of muscles to pain. Many
current beliefs about the role of muscles come under scrutiny and
some are constructively challenged by new proposals. Perhaps the
most exciting aspect of the work presented here is that
physiotherapy, if it fully integrates the information provided into
clinical practice, should be increasingly recognised as the central
and essential component of modern management of musculoskeletal
pain states. The Topical Issues in Pain series derives from the
work, study days and seminars of the Physiotherapy Pain Association
and is written by clinicians for clinicians. Each volume reviews
the literature and presents best practice in a lively and
understandable text. All clinicians will benefit from the
straightforward advice.
Pain is the most frustrating condition a physiotherapist
encounters. This is the first yearbook of the Physiotherapy Pain
Association for Chartered Physiotherapists. It considers two
challenging aspects of pain in physiotherapy practice and provides
insights and approaches to management that can be applied by all
clinicians. Part 1 critically reviews pathology, pain mechanisms
and current therapies and offers a biopsychosocial approach to
assessment, prevention, and management of pain following whiplash
injury. It assists the reader to understand and work with people
who have developed chronic pain. Part 2 considers the relationship
between fear and anxiety and activity and exercise behaviour; it
describes an approach to back pain rehabilitation that incorporates
an understanding of the key elements of fear-avoidance. In
particular, it shows how the language that clinicians use may
assist patients to develop positive attitudes that foster coping
mechanisms. The Physiotherapy Pain Association Yearbooks are
written by clinicians for clinicians. Each volume reviews the
literature and presents best practice in a lively and
understandable text. All clinicians will benefit from the
straightforward advice.
The groundbreaking bestseller that redefines intelligence and
success Does IQ define our destiny? Daniel Goleman argues that our
view of human intelligence is far too narrow, and that our emotions
play major role in thought, decision making and individual success.
Self-awareness, impulse control, persistence, motivation, empathy
and social deftness are all qualities that mark people who excel:
whose relationships flourish, who are 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.
This book covers the explosion of new information about the
relationship between the brain and its blood supply since the first
edition was published in 2009. With new knowledge and its impact on
clinical care, neurovascular neuropsychology has become a
recognized sub-specialty that has been integrated into health care
systems in the US and abroad. The second edition brings to this
larger audience the latest word on these matters, with new emphasis
on women's issues, relevance to the pediatric population, insights
from modern imaging, and advances in medical and surgical
treatments such as heart transplantation, cardiovascular
transarterial therapies, and noninvasive brain stimulation in
connection with neurocognitive outcomes.
Men and women are different -- there's no denying it. So why do we constantly expect the same actions and feelings from them? This enormously helpful book not only enables you to recognize the differences between you and your loved one but also leads you toward an acceptance of those differences, thereby paving the way for a stronger relationship. With his characteristic wit and wisdom, relationship expert John Gray explains the different ways men and women communicate, cope with stress, resolve conflicts, and experience and give love. Once you understand these differences, you'll be better equipped to handle inevitable bumps in the road, and be on your way to a long-lasting and truly loving relationship.
