Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model A Bottom-Up Approach

Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model A Bottom-Up Approach

In sharp contrast with the current top-down medicalized method to treating addiction this book presents the felt sense polyvagal model (FSPM) a paradigm-shifting bottom-up approach that considers addiction as an adaptive attempt to regulate emotional states and trauma. The felt sense polyvagal model draws from Porges' polyvagal theory Gendelin's felt sense and Lewis' learning model of addiction to offer a graphically illustrated and deeply embodied way of conceptualizing and treating addiction through supporting autonomic regulation. This model de-pathologizes addiction as it teaches embodied practices through tapping into the felt sense the body’s inner wisdom. Chapters first present a theoretical framework and demonstrate the graphic model in both clinician and client versions and then teach the clinician how to use the model in practice by providing detailed treatment strategies. This text’s informed compassionate approach to understanding and treating trauma and addiction is adaptable to any school of psychotherapy and will appeal to addiction experts trauma specialists and clinicians in all mental health fields. | Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model A Bottom-Up Approach

130 Years of Catching Up with the West A Comparative Perspective on Hungarian Science and Technology Policy-making Since Industrialization

130 Years of Catching Up with the West A Comparative Perspective on Hungarian Science and Technology Policy-making Since Industrialization

This title was first published in 2000: Issues such as globalization and the fight against joblessness as well as the growth dynamics of economies in general have been linked with science and technology. Accordingly the growing public interest in the effects of science and technology on society and politics and vice versa have been the foremost reason for the creation of this study. One of the central questions for politicians as well as for scholars in the field of science and technology is How can I influence a given science and technology system in a way so as to achieve optimal outcomes for a given national economy?. The study at hand tries to answer this question by analyzing the Hungarian research sphere from industrialization until the late-20th century. Since the beginning of industrialization Hungary has made a number of attempts to catch up with the economically more developed Western European countries. The problems encountered in the course of the Hungarian efforts are surprisingly similar to the difficulties that modern fully industrialized economies are facing today. | 130 Years of Catching Up with the West A Comparative Perspective on Hungarian Science and Technology Policy-making Since Industrialization

Victims of Political Violence and Terrorism Making Up Resilient Survivors

This book examines the survivors of political violence and terrorism considering both how they have responded and how they have been responded to following critical incidents. As this work demonstrates survivors of comparatively rare and spectacular violence hold a mirror up to society’s normative assumptions around trauma recovery and resilience.

Examining knowledge about resilience from a multitude of sources including security policy media academic literature and the survivors themselves this book contends that in order to make empirical sense of resilience we must reckon with both its discursive and practical manifestations. An accessible and compelling read this book will appeal to students and scholars of criminology sociology victimology criminal justice and all those interested in the stories of survivors. | Victims of Political Violence and Terrorism Making Up Resilient Survivors

Escaping Utopia Growing Up in a Cult Getting Out and Starting Over

We think of cults as bizarre inexplicable or otherworldly places that only strange people inhabit but cults and other abusive and high-demand groups (and relationships) are actually quite commonplace.

In the first in-depth research of its kind the author interviewed sixty-five people who were born in or grew up in thirty-nine different cultic groups spanning more than a dozen countries. What’s especially interesting about these individuals is that they each left the cult on their own without outside help or internal support. In Escaping Utopia: Growing Up in a Cult Getting Out and Starting Over the authors craft Lalich’s original and groundbreaking research into an accessible and engaging book the first of its kind focusing on this particular population. | Escaping Utopia Growing Up in a Cult Getting Out and Starting Over
