        Burnout and Chronic Occupational Stress

        A Guide for Those Affected and Their Relatives

        by Andreas Hillert/Stefan Koch/Dirk Lehr

        In today’s work environment, which is dominated by high pressure, many professionals are experiencing chronic stress, some even "burn out". This guide provides information about the connection between occupational stress and burnout. It presents scientifically sound and proven strategies for counteracting chronic stress.   The model of the “gratification crisis”, which states that an imbalance between professional engagement and the obtained gratifications, e.g. salary and appreciation, leads to persistent stress and an increased risk of physical and mental illness, is the focus of this guide. Based on case studies and concrete instructions, readers are supported in reviewing their own situation.   The guide goes on to present coping strategies, e.g. how important decisions can be made in high stress situations, how to avoid vague assessments, how to strengthen the ability to distance oneself after work, and how to improve quality of leisure time. This title can be used as a stand-alone guide as well as supplemental material to coaching or therapy.   Target Group: psychotherapists, specialists for psychiatry and psychotherapy, specialists for psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy, clinical and health psychologists, occupational and organizational psychologist, rehabilitation psychologist, coaches, students and teachers of psychology, supervisors

        Chronic Depression

        by Leuzinger-Bohleber, Marianne; Fischmann, Tamara; Beutel, Manfred E.

        Chronically depressed patients are often considered difficult to treat because the illness is often closely related to severe traumatic experiences. This manual focuses on traumatized, chronically depressed patients: it outlines both the disorder as well as its diagnostic approach and explains the basic assumptions of the psychoanalytic understanding of depression.  It explains the basic treatment steps in long-term psychoanalytic treatment of chronically depressed, early traumatized patients, and addresses specific challenges such as suicidality, aggression, and guilt. Basic therapeutic approaches and treatment principles are illustrated through specific case examples. The effectiveness of this manual has been demonstrated in a study of long-term therapies for chronic depression (the so-called LAC Depression Study). For:• psychoanalysts• psychotherapists working on the basis of depthpsychology• mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy• candidates for training in psychotherapy

        Come what may, we're here to stay

        The story of South Asian resistance in Britain

        by Taj Ali

        As British South Asians reel from the riots of summer 2025, this book tells the inspirational story of how the community organised against racism in the past and how it continues to fight in the present. British South Asians have a long tradition of radical political activism. The 1970s and 1980s saw the community grappling with prejudice in the workplace and violence in the streets. But this history is deeper than you might think, from students agitating for independence at the heart of the British Empire to seafarers organising global strikes on the eve of the Second World War. In Come what may, we're here to stay, Taj Ali reveals how successive generations fought for rights, dignity and a sense of belonging while actively shaping the country they now call home. He shows that British South Asian political life has often been defined less by religious difference than by shared commitments to anti-imperialism and anti-racism. In pursuit of these goals, alliances have been forged with other movements, from Irish republicanism to Black Power. As racism rears its ugly head again, Come what may, we're here to stay asks: are we are doomed to repeat the past or will we learn from our mistakes and build a better world together?

        Manual Trigger Point Therapy and Dry Needling for Chronic Pain

        Myofascial medicine as an approach to an unresolved challenge

        by Beat Dejung

        Medicine for the relief of pain has made little progress in the last 50 years. 16% of our population claim to suffer from chronic pain, for which no lasting help can be found, despite years of treatment by different doctors. Trigger point therapy experts have integrated myofascial techniques into their everyday therapy in recent decades and through this they have achieved good results even with complex and chronic problems. In this book, instructors from the Interest Group for Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy (IMTT) in Switzerland present 33 complex cases of patients with chronic pain, whose pain they were able to relieve perma­nently with manual trigger point therapy and dry needling. Using these case studies, double­page spreads with an edu­cational, uniform layout clearly present the diagnosis, pathophysiology and chronifcation of myofascial pain syn­dromes and, in conclusion, describe encouraging and sur­prising successes despite previous therapy resistance.
