About Addictions: Notes from Psychology, Neuroscience and NLP Paperback – 1 September 2008, by
About Addictions provides a perspective for clear thinking about what to do, rather than how to feel about addiction and addiction spectrum disorders. Richard Gray provides the reader with data from Psychology, Neuroscience and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, that will allow clear thought about the nature of these problems and what can be done. As he says in his introduction, this is a book to think with. It is short on doctrine and long on practical information about the nature of addictions and the structure of motivations for change. Gray provides information about diagnosis, reports on studies that say something very important about 'addictive substances' and research in neuroscience, motivation, and preference hierarchies. He provides techniques and perspectives from Neuro-Linguistic Programming to suggest some novel approaches to treating the problem.
Vous êtes hospitalisé et vous avez plus de 65 ans, il est préférable que le médecin qui s'occupe de vous soit une femme plutôt qu'un homme. On vous découvre une maladie, si votre généraliste se montre optimiste, vous avez plus de chance de guérir. Votre salaire est élevé, votre espérance de vie sera supérieure à la moyenne. Vous êtes très entouré, votre survie peut augmenter de 90 % par rapport aux personnes socialement isolées. Et si vous avez un chien, sa seule compagnie fait chuter votre risque cardio-vasculaire. Pour la première fois, un livre écrit par un biologiste de l'évolution révèle les liens profonds entre santé, relations sociales, solitude et place dans la société. Et c'est vrai chez toutes les espèces : les animaux qui entretiennent des liens sociaux forts et stables se reproduisent mieux et vivent plus longtemps. Autant de facteurs déterminants que la médecine feint d'ignorer. De même qu'elle méprise " l'effet placebo ". Ce phénomène étrange de guérison sans médicament, qui opère lorsqu'un autre prend le temps de s'intéresser à nous. Comme l'explique l'auteur, études comparatives à l'appui, c'est la raison du succès de l'homéopathie. Si une consultation classique dépasse rarement les 15 minutes, l'homéopathe reste en moyenne trois quarts d'heure avec son patient. Or la durée de consultation influe sur la guérison. Le même principe s'applique aux psychothérapeutes.
