»Die meisten Erklärungen, die dieser Text nötig haben mag, stehen in seinen ersten Kapiteln. Er entspricht nur zum geringeren Teil der Gastvorlesung für Poetik, die ich im Januar/Februar 1980 an der Frankfurter Universität gehalten habe. Was hier steht, ist in der Hauptsache meine Rechenschaft von den Folgen jener Gastvorlesungen für andere und für mich, also ein Bericht über die Fortsetzung des Prozesses, den ich dem Thema »Literatur als Therapie?«« gemacht habe, und das Thema mir. Daß es unerschöpflich ist, muß ich nicht rechtfertigen. Schon eher, daß das Sieb, mit dem ich geschöpft habe, wie ein systematisches Werkzeug aussieht. Der erste Teil bis Ziffer 25 setzt sich mit Therapie-Erwartungen auseinander, die heute bei Schreibern und Lesern in der Luft liegen. Ziffern 26 bis 41 berichten aus der Vorgeschichte meiner eigenen Schreib- und Therapiebedürftigkeit. Der dritte Teil probiert einen historisch-anthropologischen Zugang zum Thema aus und ist, weil man sich dabei nur übernehmen kann, der feierlichste geworden, aber auch, um Konsequenz bemüht, der am wenigsten konsequente. Daß das Thema Gründe hat, einer zusammenhängenden Behandlung zu spotten, halte ich immer deutlicher gespürt und wünschte, ich hätte noch mehr Mut zu Aus- und Abschweifungen gehabt. Ich stelle mir Leser vor, die die Überschriften als Wegweiser im Dickicht verstehen und ihre Komik ebenso freundschaftlich deuten wie mein Ordnungsbedürfnis.« (Aus der Vorbemerkung des Verfassers)

Stress can have a deleterious effect on people's mental, physical, and psychological health. There is a growing body of evidence, however, that suggests animals, both as pets and therapy partners, can help mitigate people's stress levels. This book showcases a rich collection of research papers from Human-Animal Interactions. It highlights research pertaining to pets as well as animal-assisted therapy in both school and professional settings. The book also includes a scene-setting introduction and wrap-up conclusion from the editor. Providing comprehensive information on the impact of animals on human stress, this book is a useful resource for anyone interested in human health or human-animal relationships.
Cancer patients often suffer from malnutrition. Not only do they lack energy-providing macronutrients such as protein, fats and carbohydrates, they particularly lack the micronutrients that regulate the metabolism. Micronutrients such as vitamin D, selenium, L-carnitine, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin C significantly contribute to supporting the immune system of cancer patients, reducing inflammatory processes, alleviating the side effects of cancer therapy, and improving their quality of life. This patient guide provides information about the relationship between cancer, malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, the influence of cancer therapeutics on micronutrient balance, and how cancer patients can support their therapy and improve their quality of life with a controlled intake of micronutrient
A fear of one’s own emotions can lead people to develop what has been termed emotion- or affect phobia. To deal with this specific kind of phobia, Affect Phobia Therapy (APT) has proven to be useful. In APT, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and experimental techniques are combined to help the patient to learn to accept and manage emotions again. Research shows that especially people suffering from anxiety or depression and people with avoidant or dependent personality disorders benefit from this method. This book offers a practical explanation of this evidence-based therapeutic method. The eight chapters focus on all different aspects of APT and the underlying theoretical concepts are illustrated with example patient-therapist dialogues. Target Group: psychologists, psychotherapists, students
