<p>I have been a practicing psychologist in an outpatient setting for over thirty-two years. I run into the same issues and problems almost every day--addictions, anxiety, assertiveness, anger problems, divorce, weight management, parenting, children and teenager's behaviors, mood disorders, relationships, self-esteem, guilt, forgiveness, procrastination and ADHD/learning disabilities. This ebook is about the first subject. In it, I take you through the steps I go through to diagnose and treat addictions--ANY addiction.</p> <p>I start out with a NEW concept--the Universal Self-Test for Addictions (USTA). It's a self-test you can score for yourself or someone you suspect has an addiction. It comes with complete instructions for scoring and interpretation.</p> <p>In this ebook, I answer a LOT of questions. Here they are:</p> <p>What are the short and long definitions of addiction?<br /> What are the four major diagnostic components?<br /> What are the four additional concepts that define it?<br /> What are the symptoms?<br /> What four psychiatric illnesses mimic addiction?<br /> What are the six major addictions? (Hint: Alcohol, Drugs, Gambling, Sex, Food, and Internet or Internet-related things)<br /> What are some other addictions? (I came up with 73...)</p> <p>What are the seven categories and five schedules of drugs?</p> <p>What are the current statistics for each addiction?<br /> How are all addictions the same or different?<br /> What are the myths and facts?</p> <p>What are the seven stages of developing an addiction?<br /> (Another NEW concept: The Addiction Developmental Continuum)<br /> What are the causes of addiction?</p> <p>Habit or disease?</p> <p>Triggers? What happens next?<br /> (Another NEW concept: The Addiction Reflex)</p> <p>What happens to the brain?</p> <p>What are the seven stages of treatment?<br /> Which is better? 12-Step Programs? Smart Recovery? Individual Therapy?<br /> Questions to get started--46 things to ask in treatment.<br /> What are the five most helpful therapeutic aids?</p> <p>The deep stuff: Family-of-origin relationships, relationships with others, Self-Esteem.<br /> Cognitive Behavioral considerations: the relationship of thoughts and the emotions that follow, your moods and last, the relationship between your thoughts, emotions, mood and behavior.</p> <p>What if you live with an addict? What to do?</p> <p>Lastly, there is a section on quotes, followed by a lengthy bibliography.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
