Cultivating Mindfulness in Clinical Social Work

Descripción del libro

This practice-focused resource integrates broad therapeutic knowledge with current neuroscience to present vast possibilities for mindfulness in clinical social work. Seasoned practitioners posit mindfulness practice and process as a significant bridge between taking care of self and taking care of others, demonstrating its implications for physical and mental health in personal and professional contexts. Case studies show timeless concepts (e.g., acceptance) and new mindfulness-based ideas (e.g., learned helpfulness) in use in individual treatment as well as couples counseling and group interventions. Also attesting to the utility of mindfulness across problems, settings, and practitioner orientations, diverse applications are organized along ten robust lenses, among them: • Beginning with the context: the mind-body conundrum.• Beginning with the body: the neurobiology of mindfulness.• Beginning with the training: training clinicians in essential methods for integrating mindfulness in clinical practice.• Beginning with the clients: mindfully reconciling opposites with survivors of trauma/complex traumatic stress disorders.• Beginning with the symptom: incorporating mindfulness in the treatment of substance misuse. • Beginning with the larger social system: mindfulness and restorative justice. Clinicians and research professionals particularly interested in psychotherapy treatment and mindfulness practice will find Cultivating Mindfulness in Clinical Social Work not only stimulating and intriguing, but also a fresh source of real-world wisdom.

Sus trabajos sobre la multitud y la opinión pública en la política moderna fueron capitales para el desarrollo de la sociología norteamericana. Sin embargo, su obra fue crecientemente eclipsada, en parte por la hegemonía que alcanzaron las tesis de Durkheim en el estudio de las sociedades. Pero la figura de Tarde ha vuelto a cobrar relevancia: su obra ha sido reeditada, traducida y es objeto de numerosos estudios y homenajes. La actualidad de sus intuiciones; la conexión que...

Archaeological studies of the Vesuvian Area I

These archaeological studies offer to provide an alternative tour through Vesuvian cities. One way to see Pompeii, for example, is via its hydraulic systems, from the higher parts to waterlogged landfills at the mouth of Sarno. They invite you to walk the streets amidst the traces of regulation issued in municipal law and the free initiative of those who built and maintained the sidewalks. The graffiti and paintings allow us to take a tour specially designed to understand the tastes and devotions of the inhabitants of the Vesuvian cities. Thus, disparate themes researched separately may be...

Instituciones cautivas

Un profundo estudio que compara la percepción de la ciudadanía sobre las Fuerzas Armadas con la llegada de la democracia y tras la muerte del general Pinochet. A partir de dos encuestas, los autores analizan las percepciones de la población en torno a aspectos claves en la relación cívico militar como las funciones que deben cumplir dichas instituciones, su visualización como actores políticos, los derechos humanos y las percepciones de amenaza respecto de países vecinos.
