Sostiene que el matrimonio ha muerto, que debe resucitar, y que de tanto hablar de igualdad entre hombres y mujeres se nos ha olvidado que somos también distintos. Dice, sobre todo, que ese objetivo de igualdad plena, combinado con la revolución sexual que ha acompañado al feminismo en los últimos años, ha generado un escenario en el que "la mujer se ha entregado a los encuentros casuales pero no es capaz de gestionarlos". Por eso defiende el regreso a ciertas tradiciones, incluso los colegios segregados si el fin es evitar los delitos sexuales entre menores. "Haced caso a vuestras madres", conmina Louise Perry a las mujeres.

La argentina Valeria Livoreiro, de 44 años, es licenciada en Nutrición. Estudió los cinco años de la carrera en su país, en la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, y tiene varios posgrados en diabetes, celiaquía y obesidad. Acredita una experiencia laboral de 20 años y se ha pasado 17 trabajando en un hospital público. Desde que, en enero de 2020, pidió en el consulado español el reconocimiento de sus estudios universitarios, se encuentra en un limbo debido al atasco existente en el Ministerio de Universidades para homologar y declarar la equivalencia de 44.000 títulos extranjeros. «Me estoy volviendo loca. Llevo tres años sin poder trabajar a la espera de que validen mi licenciatura. Vivo en una continua reclamación», denuncia.

Our mission is to provide excellent and accessible CBT training to improve mental health outcomes in clients. While evidence shows that CBT is an effective treatment for a wide range of conditions, access to quality treatment remains limited for vulnerable populations around the world. For clinicians to provide the best care, especially in areas that are underserved, high-quality CBT training is critical.   

We are pleased to be able to offer financial assistance for many practitioners who otherwise could not take advantage of our training opportunities. In 2022, we awarded more than $141,500 to 795 individuals and organizations. 

We recently interviewed a Beck Institute training participant who received financial assistance about their experience. 

“Training at Beck Institute has helped me tremendously. I’ve become much better at establishing a strong therapeutic relationship, structuring sessions, and adapting treatment to the individual based on my conceptualization.” 

Where were you in your career when you attended training at Beck Institute?

Do you feel that training at Beck Institute helped your career? If so, in what way(s)?

Definitely. Before I started, I thought I was doing good [...]

Learn to work with these clients in our upcoming CBT for Bipolar Disorder virtual workshop.

One of the most important life skills that CBT therapists promote to their clients is how to communicate effectively. Building and reinforcing good communication skills is associated with better organization of thoughts and improved connectedness with others, and it also aids the therapeutic process itself. This much is true regardless of the client’s presenting problems, but it is especially so in cases of clients whose difficulties include disruptions of self-regulation, as we often see in bipolar spectrum disorders (Newman, Leahy, Beck, Reilly-Harrington, & Gyulai, 2001).  

The challenges that such clients face may be trait-based — meaning that their fund of knowledge about how to express themselves appropriately and accurately is limited by dint of their suboptimal learning experiences, and/or state-based – such as when the clients’ communications are over-restricted due to a depressive episode, or conversely under-controlled in the context of a mixed state, hypomanic episode, or a full-blown manic episode.  

This blog will briefly address the latter problem, i.e., helping clients with their state-based communication, regardless of their symptom episodes, mainly by helping the clients to become more [...]

Las parejas que funcionan tienen su propio lenguaje secreto hecho de palabras cómplices, gestos exclusivos, guiños en la distancia, escuchas en silencio, rituales de afecto y juegos sexuales que el tiempo y la intimidad han construido. Un idioma que les une porque solo ellos conocen. Tienen, también, su propio código para resolver conflictos, afrontar lo que tiene solución, callar lo que no hace falta contar y perdonar lo que no tiene arreglo.
