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

Team Sports Training The Complexity Model

Team Sports Training The Complexity Model

Team Sports Training: The Complexity Model presents a novel approach to team sports training examining football (soccer) rugby union field hockey basketball handball and futsal through the paradigm of complexity. Under a traditional prism these sports have been analysed using a deterministic perspective where the constituent dimensions of the sportsmen were independently examined and treated in isolation. It was expected that the body worked as a perfect machine and once all the components were maximised the sportsmen improved their performance. If the same closed recipe was applied to all of the players who formed part of the squad the global team performance was expected to be enhanced. As much as these reductionist models seem coherent when contrasted in practice we see that the reality of team sports is far more different from the closed conditions in which they were idealised. Team sports contain variable heterogeneous and non-linear constraints which require the development of a different logic to organise their training. During the last few years ecological psychology the dynamical systems theory or the constraints-led approach have opened interesting fields of research from which many conceptual foundations can be applied to team sports. Based on this contemporary framework the current book presents the study of the players and the teams as complex systems using coordination dynamics to explain the emergence of the self-organisation episodes that characterise them. In addition this thinking line provides the reader with the ability to apply all of these innovative concepts to their practical training scenarios. Altogether it is intended to challenge the reader to re-think their training strategy and to develop an original theory and practice of training specific to team sports. | Team Sports Training The Complexity Model

Bion’s Theory of Dreams A Visionary Model of the Mind

Bion’s Theory of Dreams A Visionary Model of the Mind

Through a richly detailed close reading of Wilfred R. Bion’s work on dreaming as scattered across multifarious and largely unworked texts this book argues that Bion’s thinking can form a unified theory of dreams which extends and has further implications as a visionary model of the mind. The central quality of Bion's visionary model of the mind is the belief that all that is interesting in the human mind pulsates with an unreadably complex dynamic beyond the unknown the unknowable and the unthinkable. However rather than interpreting this negatively the author understands the inevitable unknowability of the human mind as a call to perplexity and wonder which actively encourages the intuition of fundamental insights into who and what determines our internal lives. A major implication of this belief is that psychoanalysis is itself essentially about the unknown and Monteiro generates informed observations about how this may influence psychoanalytic work. Providing renewed insight into psychoanalytical understandings of dreams this book is essential reading for any psychoanalyst wishing to broaden their knowledge of the importance of Wilfred R. Bion’s dream work. | Bion’s Theory of Dreams A Visionary Model of the Mind

Using a Competency Development Process Model in Higher Education A Practical Guide

Using a Competency Development Process Model in Higher Education A Practical Guide

What if educational programs designed curriculum with the end in mind teaching and assessing only the knowledge and skills necessary for success in the workplace and broader life applications? Competency-Based Education (CBE) provides an answer to questions such as this one that key stakeholders such as employers learners parents and educators are asking. In this book the authors offer a Competency Development Process Model (CDPM) with unique features that emphasize the interdependence of competencies assessments and a robust learning journey within a fully developed career pathway. Two case examples are used throughout the book to contextualize the CDPM. There are seven steps of the model: ·Step 1: Define the Problem·Step 2: Establish the Competency Framework·Step 3: Draft the Competency Statements·Step 4: Establish Competency Measurability·Step 5: Develop Competency Assessments·Step 6: Adopt and Implement Competencies in Learning Journey and Credentialing Systems·Step 7: Evaluate Impact Over TimeThe model addresses the importance of situating competencies within a professional learning context using a backward design approach. In doing so the model aims to elevate the work of designing competencies from merely developing a list of expectations to in-depth analysis and design with the goal of developing competencies that can be readily used for assessment and career pathway development. Each step in the CDPM is treated as a chapter and each chapter identifies the central question that must be answered provides an overview of the tasks in the step and illustrates the steps in action through the two case examples. Each chapter concludes with “Your Turn”—guiding questions for the reader to apply the step to their own context. | Using a Competency Development Process Model in Higher Education A Practical Guide
