Gestalt Therapy in Psychological Practice. Abstract Gestalt therapy is an empowering and germane framework for psychotherapy. It is uplifting for both practitioners and patients. Its objective is to bring about new awareness so that transition and problem-solving is possible. Clients are immediately equipped and responsible for doing real work, inspired and motivated to reach their own solutions. This approach entails moving in creativity from talk to action and experience (Corey, 2009). The theory looks to growth and enhancement as therapy, and reflects an early Gestalt motto: “You don’t have to be sick to get better” (Corey, 2009, p. 225). Because of its many demonstrated benefits, Gestalt therapy should be utilized by more practicing psychologists. “Psychology is a very unsatisfactory science,” Kurt Koffka, a German psychologist, wrote in 1935 (Koffka, 1935, p. 18). In psychology, a theory is a fact-based and tested framework that helps to categorize a phenomenon and predict future behavior.
What is Gestalt Psychology? How the brain works with feelings. (Medical Xpress) -- People who claim to recognize a burned imprint of Jesus on a piece of toast are channeling what Northeastern University Distinguished Professor of Psychology Lisa Feldman Barrett calls a self-interested perception of the world. “We take sensory information and match it up to something we have seen before,” Barrett told more than 200 students, faculty and staff in the Raytheon Amphitheater last Thursday for the inaugural lecture in the College of Science Colloquium Series.
“This is not a failure of science but rather a natural consequence of how the human brain works.” Barrett based her lecture on research conducted in the Interdisciplinary Affective Science Laboratory at Northeastern, which studies how emotions function in the mind by using experiential, behavioral, psychophysiological and brain-imaging methods. Say the word "anger" over and over again and you won’t know the meaning of the furious scowl on the face of the person sitting next to you on the subway. You Are Not So Smart: A Field Guide to the Psychology of Our Stupidity. By Maria Popova The science of why 600 Facebook “friends” are an illusion, or why brand loyalty is a product of the ego. We spend most of our lives going around believing we are rational, logical beings who make carefully weighted decisions based on objective facts in stable circumstances.
Of course, as both a growing body of research and our own retrospective experience demonstrate, this couldn’t be further from the truth. For the past three years, David McRaney’s cheekily titled yet infinitely intelligent You Are Not So Smart has been one of my favorite smart blogs, tirelessly debunking the many ways in which our minds play tricks on us and the false interpretations we have of those trickeries. The original trailer for the book deals with something the psychology of which we’ve previously explored — procrastination: And this excellent alternative trailer is a straight shot to our favorite brilliant book trailers: Donating = Loving Brain Pickings has a free weekly newsletter.

Master de Psicología Clínica, de la Universidad de Valencia (Facultad de Psicología). 2º Curso: 1994-95. Profesor: En una primera época (1894) y a consecuencia del estudio de las neurosis actuales - principalmente la neurosis de angustia - considera Freud a la angustia como la transformación de la excitación sexual acumulada y no satisfecha: la libido no satisfecha produce un monto de excitación que al no ser descargado se transforma directamente en angustia.
En los "Tres ensayos" de 1905, habla de una "angustia neurótica" producida por represión en donde el niño se angustia al no poder obtener satisfacción por la ausencia de la madre: es la represión la que produce una transformación de la energía libidinal en angustia. Es en 1909 en el caso Juanito ("Análisis de la fobia de un niño de cinco años") donde al explicar la fobia por el mecanismo de "desplazamiento" deja de considerar a la angustia como una simple energía libidinal para conceptualizarla como un "afecto".
Ed. What Kind of Worrier Are You? In her new book, The Solution: Conquer Your Fear, Control Your Future, bestselling author and motivational speaker Lucinda Bassett lists 13 types of worriers. I found the categories rather interesting because — I’m not sure whether or not you’ve picked up on this — but I’m a huge worrier. And this list actually made me feel better because, while I checked off the majority of them, I realized I still have plenty of things to worry about that I hadn’t even thought of!
Score! Okay, so here they are, 13 types of worriers: 1. You have low self-esteem and are overly sensitive to criticism. 2. You feel needy and clingy in your relationships. 3. You worry about confrontation and speaking your truth directly to another person. 4. You worry about work and productivity. 5. On the surface you appear worry-free. 6. You feel superior to others and believe you deserve special attention and admiration. 7.
You are exciting and glamorous. 8. 9. 10. You worry is focused on your health. 11. 12. 13. Revista Psicología :: Universidad CES.

By Maria Popova The psychology of spaghetti sauce and why too many jams make you lose your appetite. Why are you reading this? How did you decide to click the link, load the page and stay? How do we decide to do anything at all and, out of the myriad choices we face each day, what makes one option more preferable over another? This is one of the most fundamental questions of the social sciences, from consumer psychology to economic theory to behavioral science. Today, at the risk of meta-irony, we look at not one but five fantastic books and talks that explore the subject.
Among other things, Jonah Lehrer writes the excellent Frontal Cortex blog for Wired, one of our favorites. Amazon has a nice Q&A with Lehrer on the book page, in which he addresses everything from neuroscience to how he handles the cereal aisle. Barry Schwartz studies the relationship between economics and psychology. The book’s sequel, The Upside of Irrationality, is also a fascinating read and highly recommended. The Psychologist.
