[Spanish] - ¿Que es Alcohólicos Anónimos?

"Alcohólicos Anónimos (reconocida por las siglas AA) es una comunidad internacional de ayuda mutua conformada por alcohólicos en recuperación de la enfermedad del alcoholismo, fundada en 1935 por William Griffith Wilson conocido como Bill W y Robert Holbrook Smith como el Dr. Bob, iniciando reuniones en Akron, Ohio (EE. UU).1 En 2018 se hallaba presente en más de 180 países, constaba de 120.300 grupos y reunía cerca de 2,1 millones de miembros. Sus agrupaciones gozan de plena autonomía y sus miembros comparten mutuamente en reuniones de grupo, sus experiencias, fortalezas y esperanzas que les permite resolver su problema común y ayudar a otros a recuperarse del alcoholismo. Para ser miembro de AA, el único requisito que declara el nuevo adherente es su deseo de dejar la bebida. Es una asociación sin ánimo de lucro y sin afiliaciones a sectas, religiones, partidos políticos u cualquier otra forma organización.2Este movimiento se rige por 36 principios, los cuales se dividen en 12 pasos, 12 tradiciones y 12 conceptos para el servicio mundial. Otra de sus características sobresalientes es que tiene prohibido estatutariamente recibir cualquier tipo de ayuda económica pública o privada: ni subvenciones ni donaciones. Se sostiene únicamente con las contribuciones, de ordinario muy pequeñas, de sus miembros, lo cual garantiza su independencia de cualquier organismo tanto público como privado. En la actualidad, se calcula que hay alrededor de 116 000 grupos y más de dos millones de miembros en el mundo que han logrado su recuperación a través de la ayuda de esta comunidad.3"

[Spanish] - Las etapas psicosexuales de Freud: Psicologia Para Sanar

"La corriente del psicoanálisis iniciada por Sigmund Freud hace más de 100 años en una de las principales influencias de la cultura occidental contemporánea. Si sus teorías sobre el funcionamiento del inconsciente han servido como influencia en muchas áreas de las humanidades y el arte, no es menos cierto que buena parte de sus planteamientos tienen que ver con la sexualidad humana. La teoría del desarrollo psicosexual de Freud, con sus distintas etapas, es la plasmación de esta idea, y es por eso que históricamente ha recibido mucha atención."

[Spanish] - Los escritos de Freud sobre la cocaina: Psicologia Para Sanar

"El temprano vínculo entre el padre del psicoanálisis y la cocaína se puede visualizar entre luces y sombras. Existen diversas referencias sobre este asunto, unas más lúcidas (e.g., Cohen, 2011) otras más anecdóticas (e.g., Mar-kel, 2011) y, por cierto, algunas bastante des-templadas (e.g., Thornton, 1986). Sin embargo, más allá de la identificable relación de Sigmund Freud con esta sustancia por aproximadamente una década, y en los años previos a sus más grandes aportes, existe solo una referencia so-mera y tangencial al impacto de este vínculo en sus contribuciones posteriores."

[French] - Guérir de sa mère: De la blessure à la réalisation de soi

"Dépasser les blessures de l'enfance Nous ne pouvons pas faire sans nos mères, mais faire avec elles est difficile, parfois destructeur. Trop présentes, trop absentes, mal aimantes, hyper fragiles ou encore inconscientes de leurs attentes démesurées, elles façonnent nos personnalités et conditionnent notre rapport à la vie. Que reste-t-il dans nos existences d'adultes de ces enfances mal vécues dans le sillage d'une mère défaillante ? Comment ces blessures de mère nous confrontent-elles à ce que nous aurions voulu oublier ? Estime de soi fragile, manque chronique d'énergie, liens aux autres qui ont du mal à se nouer et durer... Que faire d'un héritage maternel douloureux ? Ce livre nous invite à tracer notre propre route, à nous dégager de cette fidélité inconsciente à notre enfance pour réaliser qui nous sommes. © Éditions Eyrolles, 2021, pour la présente édition © Groupe Eyrolles, 2013, 2016"

[Spanish] - ¿Es justo que algunos miembros de eviten el servicio?: Vivir Para Servir

"El servicio en la comunidad de AA siempre ha sido una oportunidad de ser agradecido, devolviendo de la misma manera lo que se nos dio desinteresadamente, es por eso que en ocasiones, llegamos a pensar que la persona que no sirve no tiene agradecimiento, cuando en realidad es una muestra de nuestra falat de recuperación ya que seguimos mirando quien hace y quien no"

This Is Me, Is That You?: Encounters with Schizophrenia

"A psychoanalyst's sensitive exploration of schizophrenia through the stories and words of three women patients In the spring of 1994, psychoanalyst-in-training Steven Poser arrived for his clinical internship at one of the last remaining nineteenth-century mental hospitals in New England. Intending to observe and offer compassionate care to the most chronically ill patients, he ended up staying for two years, forming close therapeutic relationships with three female patients suffering from schizophrenia, 'Agnes,' 'Mrs. Lutzky,' and 'Lucia.' Drawing from his clinical diary, Poser presents his encounters with the women in their own words, each speaking in a poetry of her own invention. Rather than treat the women as casualties of their illness or their words and actions as nonsensical, Poser sees his patients as dignified and struggling people—and not as markedly different from the rest of us as we might think. This is a deeply human book about the frailty and importance of human connection and the intangibly healing force of being heard."

The Passion Paradox: A Guide to Going All In, Finding Success, and Discovering the Benefits of an Un

"The coauthors of the bestselling Peak Performance dive into the fascinating science behind passion, showing how it can lead to a rich and meaningful life while also illuminating the ways in which it is a double-edged sword. Here's how to cultivate a passion that will take you to great heights-while minimizing the risk of an equally great fall. Common advice is to find and follow your passion. A life of passion is a good life, or so we are told. But it's not that simple. Rarely is passion something that you just stumble upon, and the same drive that fuels breakthroughs-whether they're athletic, scientific, entrepreneurial, or artistic-can be every bit as destructive as it is productive. Yes, passion can be a wonderful gift, but only if you know how to channel it. If you're not careful, passion can become an awful curse, leading to endless seeking, suffering, and burnout. Brad Stulberg and Steve Magness once again team up, this time to demystify passion, showing readers how they can find and cultivate their passion, sustainably harness its power, and avoid its dangers. They ultimately argue that passion and balance--that other virtue touted by our culture--are incompatible, and that to find your passion, you must lose balance. And that's not always a bad thing. They show readers how to develop the right kind of passion, the kind that lets you achieve great things without ruining your life. Swift, compact, and powerful, this thought-provoking book combines captivating stories of extraordinarily passionate individuals with the latest science on the biological and psychological factors that give rise to-and every bit as important, sustain-passion."

Rewriting the Rules: An Anti-Self Help Guide to Love, Sex, and Relationships: Second Edition

"We live in a time of uncertainty about relationships. We search for The One but find ourselves staying single because nobody measures up. We long for a happily-ever-after but break-up after break-up leave us bruised and confused. Rewriting the Rules is a friendly guide through the complicated—and often contradictory—advice that's given about sex and gender, monogamy and conflict, break-up and commitment. It asks questions about the rules of love, such as which to choose from all the rules on offer? Do we stick to the old rules we learnt growing up, or do we try something new and risk being out on our own? And what about the times when the rules we love by seem to make things worse? This new edition, updated throughout, considers how the rules are being 'rewritten' in various ways—for example in monogamish and polyamorous relationships, different ways of understanding sex and gender, and new ideas for managing commitment and break-up where economics, communities, or child-care make complete separation impossible. This book considers how the rules are being 'rewritten' in various ways, giving you the power to find an approach that best fits your situation. Contains mature themes."

Holistically Treating Complex PTSD: A Six-Dimensional Approach: Guidance for Therapists, Coaches, an

"My latest book is a guide for psychotherapists and other helpers to learn my multidimensional approach to effectively treating the childhood trauma that is commonly at the roots of Complex PTSD. It can deeply aid therapists to mend the damage and arrested development that survivors experienced as traumatized children in the 'care' of abusive and/or neglectful parents or other caretakers. This damage and developmental delay can be remediated when therapists and/or other supportive people use the guidance and techniques that are fleshed out in this book. Such practice has helped many of them to become highly effective, trauma-informed therapists. The psychoeducational approach herein helps survivors see that their symptoms are normal child reactions to abnormal upbringings that are steeped in abuse and neglect, danger, and lovelessness. With the therapists' help and compassion, this knowledge then aids them to develop self-compassion for their lifelong suffering. When therapists successfully midwife the rebirth of survivors' innate self-compassion, they can then expand it into helping them reclaim their instincts of healthy self-protection."

The Friendship Bench: How Fourteen Grandmothers Inspired a Mental Health Revolution

"“Dixon Chibanda’s beautiful and heroic book will inspire everyone who reads it.” — Johann Hari As featured on CBS Sunday Morning and NPR’s Here and Now A simple, human solution for loneliness and depression When Dr. Dixon Chibanda lost a patient to suicide, he began a soul-searching journey that eventually led to a mental healthcare revolution. As one of only six psychiatrists in all of Zimbabwe, a country traumatized by decades of conflict, Chibanda quickly realized that millions there were suffering from mental illness with no hope of receiving care. He saw that the only way to narrow this care gap was to leverage existing resources in the community, and one such resource was the compassion and understanding of grandmothers. With fourteen of these wise elders as partners, Chibanda pioneered the Friendship Bench program, a community-driven initiative addressing loneliness, depression, substance abuse, and suicide by fostering intergenerational connectedness. Since then, more than 500,000 people worldwide have sat on a park bench to share their personal stories with an empathetic grandmother. A primer on how human connection forms the bedrock of our resilience, The Friendship Bench gives readers the tools to facilitate transformative healing by reaching out to those who are struggling and isolated from the world around them. It’s a case study of how interventions supported by robust scientific evidence can be made accessible for all. Ultimately, it’s a celebration of the collective wisdom and knowledge of those rooted in their communities and their profound ability to foster belonging, purpose, and healing. "

Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy: What Every Mental Health Provider Needs to Know

"An essential guide to the paradigm shift required to empower your neurodivergent clients Many mental health professionals are learning to recognize the ways in which neurodivergence can be part of someone's identity, rather than a disability. While many neurodivergent individuals have unique support needs, they are not broken, nor do they need to be cured of their neurodivergence. This neurodiversity-affirming model of care is not a specific set of therapeutic interventions, assessments, or steps a clinician must take to fit into a model. Rather, it is an underlying philosophy that recognizes individuals as the experts on their own lived experience, who can collaborate with mental health professionals to improve this experience. Those who want to support neurodivergent clients will learn the historical, practical, and clinical contexts of neurodiversity-affirming care. Reaching beyond autism (what many people exclusively associate with the term 'neurodiversity'), the book encompasses the wide spectrum of differences in brain function and behavioral traits that form part of the human experience, and which include ADHD, dyslexia, and certain trauma responses and forms of anxiety. With this trailblazing guide, clinicians can take the first, crucial steps towards meeting their neurodivergent clients' needs."
