Skryté příčiny duševních strastí - Psychoterapie do kapsy – Václavík Michael (2023)

Mental anorexia, depression, alcohol addiction, difficulties in getting pregnant, self-harm, tetany, and panic disorder... Why can't we rid ourselves of catastrophic fears for our loved ones? How is it possible to reach a state where we don't want to live? Is our good will to maintain our body weight thwarted by genetics or psychology? The efforts to understand the human soul are accompanied by many questions and mysteries. Can we comprehend the complex mechanisms discussed in psychoanalysis without being experienced professionals? This book attempts to do just that. Due to its expertise, it can serve as a textbook, but its format is intended for a broad lay audience. Without foreign words and complicated terms, but with numerous examples from psychotherapy sessions, it presents the topics for which people often seek psychotherapeutic care. ***** A psychotherapist with twenty years of experience shares his knowledge and allows a glimpse into the stories of the people he has encountered in therapy. Readers may find themselves within these stories. They may experience the surprise that mental disorders can be understood as a coherent narrative.
