Book Description
Resource Therapy is a parts therapy, like Ego State Therapy, but it does not require the use of hypnosis. It has detailed diagnostic criteria with precisely defined treatment regimens for each classification. This enables therapists to respond to difficult issues with straightforward techniques. Clear guidelines help therapists to diagnose patients into categories relating to whether they present with unwanted emotions, unwanted behaviors, or unwanted internal conflicts. RT Actions allow therapists to quickly locate Resources that need change.Personality parts are Resources and when a Resource becomes pathological the result is distress. It is my contention that some personality parts carry negative affect (Vaded States), some carry out unwanted behavior (Retro States), and some are conflicted with other states (Conflicted States). The precise condition of each pathological state can be diagnosed to understand the dynamic role it has assumed within the personality. This book will assist in the understanding of the etiology of issues including, but not limited to, OCD, depression, eating disorders, addictions, and PTSD. Technique regimens for working directly with the different Pathological States are clearly presented and illustrated. These techniques will enable therapists to gain direct access to the personality parts that hold pathology and to assist in resolution. Resolving the pathology of the Resource States alleviates the causes of psychological distress, and frees Personality Resources to resume positive functions.

She provides an up-to-date applications-oriented view that prepares the practitioner to move beyond a one-size fits all treatment formula to meet the complexity of human experience. This approach holds that issues such as resistance, guilt and shame, rejection, and rage should be anticipated as a part of, more than an obstacle to, PTSD treatment.

This is a practical, experiential book that will appeal to all professionals working with trauma, including psychotherapists, counsellors, body workers, and social workers.

The Semantic Web

Author: Vipul Kashyap
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540764518
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 415

Book Description
The Semantic Web is a vision – the idea of having data on the Web defined and linked in such a way that it can be used by machines not just for display purposes but for automation, integration and reuse of data across various applications. However, there is a widespread misconception that the Semantic Web is a rehash of existing AI and database work. Kashyap, Bussler, and Moran dispel this notion by presenting the multi-disciplinary technological underpinnings such as machine learning, information retrieval, service-oriented architectures, and grid computing. Thus they combine the informational and computational aspects needed to realize the full potential of the Semantic Web vision.

Resource Focused Counselling and Psychotherapy

Author: Michael Wilson
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1317407393
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 195

Book Description
Therapists sometimes ask: What supports you in life? What gets you through difficult times? Our ‘journey’ in life relies on a range of resources to equip and fulfil us. Knowing about these resources, however, is not enough: for lasting benefits, they must be bodily felt experiences. The aim of this book is to illustrate the holistic purpose of therapy to resource integration of the client. It draws upon extensive material to affirm that the practice of contemporary therapy benefits from insights gained from evolving neuroscience. Particular emphasis is put on the benefits of drawing on the dimensions of experience to strengthen ego processes like self-awareness and self-regulation, and engage with the depths of being, including ‘soul’. Resource Focused Counselling and Psychotherapy provides professionals with a comprehensive and integrative model of resource focused therapy, drawing upon clinical examples and the current range of research and theory surrounding this emerging approach. Additionally, the book contains a range of self-resourcing exercises and practices for each part of the integrative model, enabling individuals to develop self-resources for greater resilience and well-being in their own lives. This book is an important read for psychotherapists, psychologists and counsellors, including those working with trauma. It also provides valuable insights for modalities practising from a psycho-spiritual perspective, including Jungian and transpersonal psychotherapists.

Book Description
Written by one of the country's leading authorities on alternative and complementary cancer treatments, Choices in Healing is designed for the cancer patient or health professional who seeks a comprehensive overview of the available choices, both in treatments and in living with cancer. Choices in Healing offers valuable information and guidance for the whole life cycle of cancer—from the initial shock of diagnosis to decisions about choosing a physician and conventional therapies, selecting complementary therapies, coping with treatment, and the art of living fully with the possibility of recurrence. There are detailed explanations and evaluations of a wide range of complementary therapy programs, including spiritual and psychological approaches, nutritional therapies, physical therapies, pharmacological therapies, and traditional medicines from around the world. There are sections on prayer and other forms of spiritual healing; psychotherapy, support groups, visual imagery and hypnosis; massage, therapeutic touch, yoga, and Qi Gong; macrobiotic diet and other cancer diets; acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicines; and numerous other unconventional therapies used by American cancer patients. With an unusual combination of compassion and objectivity, Michael Lerner describes his conclusions following more than a decade of study of unconventional cancer treatments in North America, Europe, India, and Japan. He also draws extensively on his work with hundreds of cancer patients who have participated in the Commonweal Cancer Help Programs, the residential support program depicted by Bill Moyers in his 1993 PBS documentary Healing and the Mind.
