Zeitlose Elemente der Führung: Psychologisch sicher führen im Wandel (essentials)

by Claudia Gerhardt

Beim „zeitlosen Führen“ geht es um weit mehr als Führung in flachen Hierarchien, die nur ein Merkmal aktueller Organisationsformen sind. Claudia Gerhardt erörtert in diesem essential aus dem Blickwinkel der Wirtschaftspsychologie die Frage, wie Führung in instabilen, unsicheren und womöglich fragilen Umfeldern – in der VUKA-Welt (Volatilität, Unsicherheit, Komplexität, Ambiguität) – gestaltet werden kann. Hierzu gibt die Autorin in der gebotenen Prägnanz Antwort und möchte zugleich zum Denken und Reflektieren über die führungsbezogenen Aufgaben anregen, die diese schnelllebige Zeit mit sich bringt.

Zeitpsychologie: Der Einfluss der Zeit auf das menschliche Erleben und Handeln

by Antje Flade

Die Psychologie der Zeit befasst sich mit einem Phänomen, auf das aus wahrgenommenen Veränderungen geschlossen wird. Zeit gibt es nur, wenn sich etwas verändert. Weil Veränderungen immer irgendwo stattfinden, hängen das Wann und das Wo untrennbar miteinander zusammen, was sich in den Begriffen Zeitraum und Raumzeit widerspiegelt. Ein Buch über Zeitpsychologie soll sensibilisieren, indem die Bedeutung der „vierten Dimension“ im alltäglichen Erleben und Handeln bewusst wird, die sich im Unterschied zum dreidimensionalen Raum der unmittelbaren Wahrnehmung entzieht. So werden manche Verhaltensweisen erst verstehbar, wenn man den Zeitfaktor einbezieht. Es geht um Fragen der Zeitverwendung und Zeiteinsparung, um das Zusammenpassen unterschiedlicher Zeitstrukturen in verschiedenen Lebensbereichen und um die Zeitperspektive, die sich aus dem gegenwärtigen Moment, der erinnerten Vergangenheit und der vorgestellten Zukunft zusammensetzt. Es ist die Vergangenheit, die den Menschen zu dem gemacht hat, was er gegenwärtig ist. Ohne eine Zukunftsperspektive gäbe es keine Motivation und kein Planen. Die Zeitperspektiventherapie ist darauf gerichtet, eine Balance zwischen den drei Abschnitten herzustellen sowie Depressionen und psychische Erkrankungen zu heilen, die auf einer fehlenden Zukunftsperspektive oder auf traumatischen Erfahrungen beruhen. Es gibt keine Zeitlosigkeit, denn Veränderungen finden fortwährend statt. Indem er kulturelle Umwelten und gebaute Umwelten schafft, trägt der Mensch aktiv dazu bei. Nicht nur die Umwelt ändert sich, sei es durch natürliche Vorgänge oder durch menschliches Handeln, sondern auch der Mensch selbst, indem er heranwächst und altert. Ein Ziel des Buches ist in Analogie zum Umweltbewusstsein das Zeitbewusstsein zu stärken.

Zelfbeeldtraining voor kinderen en adolescenten: COMET (Competitive Memory Training) (Kind en adolescent praktijkreeks)

by Marije Kuin Paulien Peters

In deze herziene versie van de therapeutenhandleiding wordt de interventie Zelfbeeldtraining voor kinderen en adolescenten -  Competitive Memory Training (COMET)  theoretisch en praktisch uitgelegd. Zelfbeeldtraining voor kinderen en adolescenten is gebaseerd op de cognitief-gedragstherapeutische methode Competitive Memory Training (COMET) van Kees Korrelboom. Deze methode is bij het NJI (Nederlands Jeugd Instituut) als theoretisch goed onderbouwd bestempeld. Deelnemers werken aan positief denken, voelen en doen door positieve gevoelens op te roepen. Via contraconditonering wordt dit positieve zelfgevoel geactiveerd op moeilijke momenten. In deze herziene versie wordt geen verschil meer gemaakt tussen een individuele variant en een groepsvariant. Er is één variant, welke zowel individueel als groepsgewijs te gebruiken is. Daarnaast kunnen behandelaar en cliënt elke sessie zelf kiezen welke oefeningen nuttig zijn om positief denken, voelen en doen te stimuleren. Na het lezen van deze handleiding kan de behandelaar aan de slag met de interventie. Deze is toepasbaar bij zelfbeeldproblematiek, welke aanwezig en/of ten grondslag kan liggen aan bijvoorbeeld stemmingsproblemen, gedragsstoornissen en angststoornissen. Hiermee kunnen psychologen, orthopedagogen of andere hulpverleners kinderen en adolescenten meer zelfvertrouwen geven. Het bijbehorende werkboek is geschreven voor kinderen en jongeren vanaf 8 jaar tot in de jong volwassenheid.

Zen Buddhism and the Reality of Suffering

by Tullio Giraldi

This book offers an accessible guide to the role that Zen has played and, alongside Buddhism, might play in both Eastern and Western attempts to alleviate mental suffering. Since its beginnings 2500 years ago, the central belief of Buddhism has been that what we perceive as “reality” is a mental representation; a religious belief which has since been substantiated by the evidence of neuroscience. The work and progress of clinical medicine, psychiatry and psychology have attempted to alleviate the sufferings of life, but the current approaches to mental health in psychiatry, the neurosciences and cognitivism don't fully address the complexity and mutual inter-relationship of the variety of factors involved in mental suffering, and its non-linear and chaotic aspects. Zen Buddhism, on the other hand, encourages access to reality, and so this book will explore, scientifically, the ways in which it’s guiding principles can be deployed to support and enhance Western, clinical solutions to mental strife.

Zen Insight, Psychoanalytic Action: Two Arrows Meeting

by Seiso Paul Cooper

Drawing from original source material, contemporary scholarship, and Wilfred Bion’s psychoanalytic writings, Zen Insight, Psychoanalytic Action: Two Arrows Meeting introduces the Zen notion of "gūjin," or total exertion, and elaborates a realizational perspective that integrates Zen Buddhism and psychoanalysis. Developed by the thirteenth century Zen teacher and founder of the Japanese Soto Zen school, Eihei Dogen, gūjin finds expression and is referenced in various contemporary scholarly and religious commentaries. This book explains this pivotal Zen concept and addresses themes by drawing from translated source material, academic scholarship, traditional Zen kōans and teaching stories, extensive commentarial literature, interpretive writings by contemporary Soto Zen teachers, psychoanalytic theory, clinical material, and poetry, as well as the author’s thirty years of personal experience as a psychoanalyst, supervisor, psychoanalytic educator, ordained Soto Zen priest, and transmitted Soto Zen teacher. From a realizational perspective that integrates Zen and psychoanalytic concepts, the book addresses anxiety-driven interferences to deepened Zen practice, extends the scope and increases the effectiveness of clinical work for the psychotherapist, and facilitates deepened experiences for both the Buddhist and the secular meditation practitioner. Two Arrows Meeting will be of great interest to researchers in the fields of Zen Buddhism and psychoanalysis. It will also appeal to meditation practitioners and psychoanalysts in practice and training.

Zen Your Work: Create Your Ideal Work Experience Through Mindful Self-Mastery

by Karlyn Borysenko

Use mindfulness techniques to handle toxic stress in the workplace and to create your ideal professional experience from the inside out.While working in a particularly toxic environment, Karlyn Borysenko came to this liberating realization: she couldn't control other people, but she could control herself, her perspective, and her actions. Now an organizational psychologist, consultant, and executive coach, Borysenko shows us how to bridge the gap between where we are now and what will bring us the most professional success and happiness. We must achieve self-mastery--by accepting responsibility for our actions, understanding our innate work style, and discerning when and how to push outside our comfort zone. In Zen Your Work, Borysenko shows us how to set personal goals that allow us to focus our energy and create measures of success that aren't affected by the cynicism, competitiveness, or narcissism of others. Borysenko teaches us to apply mindfulness techniques in a highly practical way to achieve professional success, create game-changing relationships (even with the most negative people in the office), decrease stress, and enjoy a better work/life balance.

Zen and Psychotherapy: Partners in Liberation

by Joseph Bobrow

A new take on the interplay of emotional and spiritual development. Insight, attentiveness, and transformative experience are central in both Buddhism and psychotherapy. An "intimate dialogue" that examines the interplay of emotional and spiritual development through the lens of Zen Buddhism and psychotherapy, this book artfully illuminates the intrinsic connections between the two practices, and demonstrates how these traditions can be complementary in helping to live a truly fulfilled and contented life. As this book deftly explores, integrating the two streams of Zen and psychotherapy can help us to better grasp our conscious and unconscious experiences and more fully develop the fundamental capacities of the self. Bobrow shows how the major themes of trauma, attachment, emotional communication, and emotional regulation play out in the context of Zen and psychotherapeutic practice, and how, in concert, both provide a comprehensive, interactive model of fully functioning human life.

Zen and Therapy: Heretical Perspectives

by Manu Bazzano

Zen and Therapy brings together aspects of the Buddhist tradition, contemporary western therapy and western philosophy. By combining insightful anecdotes from the Zen tradition with clinical studies, discussions of current psychotherapy theory and forays into art, film, literature and philosophy, Manu Bazzano integrates Zen Buddhist practice with psychotherapy and psychology. This book successfully expands the existing dialogue on the integration of Buddhism, psychology and philosophy, highlighting areas that have been neglected and bypassed. It explores a third way between the two dominant modalities, the religious and the secular, a positively ambivalent stance rooted in embodied practice, and the cultivation of compassion and active perplexity. It presents a life-affirming view: the wonder, beauty and complexity of being human. Intended for both experienced practitioners and beginners in the fields of psychotherapy and philosophy, Zen and Therapy provides an enlightening and engaging exploration of a previously underexplored area.

Zen beyond Mindfulness: Using Buddhist and Modern Psychology for Transformational Practice

by Jules Shuzen Harris

An effective new approach to Buddhist practice that combines the rigor of traditional meditation and study with the psychological support necessary for practice in modern life.Zen teacher Jules Shuzen Harris argues that contemporary American Buddhists face two primary challenges: (1) “spiritual bypassing,” which means avoiding or repressing psychological problems in favor of “pretend Enlightenment,” and (2) settling for secularized forms of Buddhism or mindfulness that have lost touch with the deeper philosophical and ethical underpinnings of the religion.Drawing on his decades of experience as a Zen practitioner, teacher, and psychotherapist, Harris writes that both of these challenges can be met through the combination of a committed meditation practice, a deep study of Buddhist psychological models, and tools from a psychotherapeutic method known as “Mind-Body Bridging.” Using this unique approach, students can do the real work of awakening without either denying their embodied emotional life or missing out on the rich array of insights offered by Buddhist psychology and the Zen practice tradition.

Zen in the Art of Writing: Essays on Creativity

by Ray Bradbury

"Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a land mine. The land mine is me. After the explosion, I spend the rest of the day putting the pieces back together. Now, it's your turn. Jump! Zest. Gusto. Curiosity. These are the qualities every writer must have, as well as a spirit of adventure. In this exuberant book, the incomparable Ray Bradbury shares the wisdom, experience, and excitement of a lifetime of writing. Here are practical tips on the art of writing from a master of the craft-everything from finding original ideas to developing your own voice and style-as well as the inside story of Bradbury's own remarkable career as a prolific author of novels, stories, poems, films, and plays. Zen in the Art Of Writing is more than just a how-to manual for the would-be writer: it is a celebration of the act of writing itself that will delight, impassion, and inspire the writer in you. In it, Bradbury encourages us to follow the unique path of our instincts and enthusiasms to the place where our inner genius dwells, and he shows that success as a writer depends on how well you know one subject: your own life.

Zen-Brain Horizons: Toward a Living Zen (The\mit Press Ser.)

by James H. Austin

A neurologist and Zen practitioner clarifies the benefits of meditative training, drawing on classical Buddhist literature and modern brain research.In Zen-Brain Horizons, James Austin draws on his decades of experience as a neurologist and Zen practitioner to clarify the benefits of meditative training. Austin integrates classical Buddhist literature with modern brain research, exploring the horizons of a living, neural Zen. When viewed in the light of today, the timeless wisdom of some Zen masters seems almost to have anticipated recent research in the neurosciences. The keen attentiveness and awareness that we cultivate during meditative practices becomes the leading edge of our subsequent mental processing. Austin explains how our covert, involuntary functions can make crucial contributions to the subtle ways we learn, intuit, and engage in creative activities. He demonstrates why living Zen means much more than sitting quietly indoors on a cushion, and provides simplified advice that helps guide readers to the most important points.

Zero to Birth: How the Human Brain Is Built

by William A. Harris

A revelatory tale of how the human brain develops, from conception to birth and beyondBy the time a baby is born, its brain is equipped with billions of intricately crafted neurons wired together through trillions of interconnections to form a compact and breathtakingly efficient supercomputer. Zero to Birth takes you on an extraordinary journey to the very edge of creation, from the moment of an egg’s fertilization through each step of a human brain’s development in the womb—and even a little beyond.As pioneering experimental neurobiologist W. A. Harris guides you through the process of how the brain is built, he takes up the biggest questions that scientists have asked about the developing brain, describing many of the thrilling discoveries that were foundational to our current understanding. He weaves in a remarkable evolutionary story that begins billions of years ago in the Proterozoic eon, when multicellular animals first emerged from single-cell organisms, and reveals how the growth of a fetal brain over nine months reflects the brain’s evolution through the ages. Our brains have much in common with those of other animals, and Harris offers an illuminating look at how comparative animal studies have been crucial to understanding what makes a human brain human.An unforgettable chronicle of one of nature’s greatest achievements, Zero to Birth describes how the brain’s incredible feat of orchestrated growth ensures that every brain is unique, and how breakthroughs at the frontiers of science are helping us to decode many traits that only reveal themselves later in life.

Anhand von Praxisfällen und Bewältigungsstrategien werden die „Herzensangelegenheiten“ der verletzten Kinderseelen aufgedeckt.
