Martin E. P. Seligman Libri

La sensazione di perdere il controllo e di essere impotenti può avere conseguenze significative: depressione, ansia e infine apatia. Martin Seligman esplora il legame tra impotenza, ansia, depressione e apatia, offrendo un modello esplicativo che è diventato un punto di partenza per innumerevoli ricerche in psicologia clinica, psicologia dello sviluppo e sociale, pedagogia e sociologia. La teoria della "impotenza appresa" di Seligman, supportata da numerosi esempi concreti, non solo spiega i disturbi psicologici, ma affronta anche condizioni sociali come la povertà e la disoccupazione. Questo lavoro rappresenta un contributo fondamentale alle scienze sociali.

Positive Psychotherapy provides therapists with a session-by-session therapeutic approach based on the principles of positive psychology, a burgeoning area of study examining the conditions and processes that enable individuals, communities, and institutions to flourish.

The second half of the book contains 15 positive psychotherapy sessions, each complete with core concepts, guidelines, skills, and worksheets for practicing skills learned in session. Each session also includes at least one vignette as well as recommendations for using skills flexibly and taking cultural contexts into consideration. Mental health professionals of all orientations will find in Positive Psychotherapy a refreshing complement to symptom-based approaches that will endow clients with a sense of purpose and meaning that many have found lacking in more traditional therapies

For over a century the focus of psychotherapy has been on what ails us, with the therapeutic process resting upon the assumption that unearthing past traumas, correcting faulty thinking, and restoring dysfunctional relationships is curative.

This workbook, designed to be used in conjunction with the accompanying clinician's manual, first explains what exactly positive psychotherapy is, exploring the important concepts of character strengths. What follows are 15 positive psychotherapy sessions, each complete with lessons, guidelines, skills, and worksheets for practicing positive psychology skills learned in session. Those interested in improving well-being through psychotherapy will find in Positive Psychotherapy a refreshing complement to other approaches, endowing readers with a sense of purpose and meaning that many have found lacking in more traditional therapies.

Martin E. P. Seligman untersucht in seinen Veröffentlichungen, was menschliches Glück ausmacht, wie es erreicht werden kann und warum Menschen unter ähnlichen Bedingungen unterschiedlich glücklich sind. Durch umfangreiche statistische Erhebungen und langfristige Beobachtungen spezifischer Personengruppen hat er herausgefunden, dass Glück nicht allein auf Reichtum, Luxus und materiellem Wohlstand beruht. Vielmehr liegt die Wahrheit darin, dass die Haltung zum eigenen Leben entscheidend für das Glück ist. Seligman, gestützt auf seine Erfahrungen als Therapeut, ermutigt dazu, die positiven Aspekte der eigenen Persönlichkeit zu fördern, um negative Tendenzen zu überwinden. Dies führt zu echten, nachhaltigen Glücksmomenten. Das Werk verfolgt zwei Ziele: Es präsentiert die neuesten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse der Glücksforschung und nutzt Fallbeispiele sowie persönliche Erlebnisse zur Veranschaulichung. Zudem dient es als Lebensratgeber für jene, die ihre Stärken erkennen und entwickeln möchten, um ein erfüllteres Leben zu führen. Es fordert dazu auf, oberflächliche Glückssymbole zu hinterfragen und sich auf das Wesentliche zu konzentrieren, denn das Leben ist zu kurz, um unglücklich zu sein!

Positive Psychologie: Das Leben ist zu kurz, um unglücklich zu sein! Das uralte Bedürfnis, glücklich zu leben, bewegt jeden Menschen. Ist Glück Veranlagung, Zufall? Nein! Jeder Mensch trägt den Keim zum Glück in sich. Diesen Schatz muss er nur ans Licht heben. Dieses Buch, wunderbar leicht geschrieben, ist ein überaus praktischer und anschaulicher Ratgeber. Der Autor begleitet den Leser mit zahlreichen Tests zur Selbstprüfung, um die eigenen Stärken zu erkennen und zu entwickeln. Und er ergänzt seine Erläuterungen mit vielen Beispielen aus seiner therapeutischen Praxis. So können Eltern mithilfe dieser Techniken bereits ihren Kindern im Babyalter ein positives Lebensgefühl vermitteln. Ein bereicherndes, wertvolles Buch, das echte Lebenshilfe bietet.

Nové poznatky o podstatě štěstí a duševní pohody Kniha Vzkvétání — Nové poznatky o podstatě štěstí a duševní pohody navazuje na přelomové práce Dr. Martina Seligmana v oblasti optimismu, motivace a lidského charakteru a ukazuje nám, jak ze svého života získat co nejvíce: odhaluje vzrušující novou teorii o tom, co tvoří „dobrý život“ – pro jednotlivce, pro komunity a pro celé národy. Ve fascinující kombinaci vědeckých poznatků a praxe vystihuje kniha Vzkvétání skvěle záměr i obsah pozitivní psychologie. Štěstí samotné, přestože je důležitou součástí osobní pohody, nedává životu člověka úplný a pravý smysl. Seligman nyní klade otázku: Co je tím, co vám umožňuje kultivovat svá nadání, vytvářet hlubší a trvalejší vztahy s ostatními lidmi, cítit radost a smysluplně přispívat světu? Neboli: co je tím, díky čemu můžete prospívat? Do centra zájmu se dostává osobní pohoda (well-being), přičemž štěstí (happiness) neboli pozitivní emoce se stávají jedním z pěti pilířů pozitivní psychologie, spolu se zaujetím, pozitivními vztahy, smysluplností a úspěšným výkonem. Těchto pět prvků, pro které se používá akronym PERMA (z anglických termínů Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationship, Meaning, Accomplishment), představuje permanentní, trvalé stavební kameny plně uspokojivého života.

Książka odzwierciedla zmiany, jakie zaszły w dziedzinie psychopatologii. Czytelnik odbywa podróż przez wszystkie poziomy naszego istnienia - od aktywności komórkowej przez działanie genów, hormonów i substancji chemicznych w mózgu do wpływów środowiska społecznego. Ukazujemy odkrycia naukowe, które rzucają światło na zaburzenia psychiczne, takie jak depresja, schizofrenia, lęk, zaburzenia obsesyjno-kompulsywne, zaburzenia seksualne i uzależnienia od narkotyków. Wreszcie, zgodnie z podejściem wcześniejszych wydań, poświęcamy dużo uwagi diagnostyce i leczeniu zaburzeń. Opisujemy różne metody, a następnie ilustrujemy, często na przykładach, jak psychologowie posługują się nimi w diagnozowaniu i leczeniu pacjentów.
