Estados de ánimo : Belleza y perversión del apego

This work is a hybrid that, by addressing uncomfortable yet necessary topics, will surprise mental health professionals with novel nuances and, at the same time, captivate the general public, who will gain a better understanding of their own minds and those of others, as well as the bonds that unite us and the chasms that separate us. Committed to social change, Arturo Ezquerro and María Cañete explore the genesis of moods from the perspective of attachment, including the most sensitive (sexual and gender identities), the most damaging and fearsome (child sexual abuse), the most changeable and abrupt (bipolar disorder), the most tragic (suicide), and the most beautiful (love and passion for life). We live in turbulent times, marked by a profound social pathology: relationships have become less secure, more fluid, and ephemeral. Faced with this reality, the reader can reflect and learn through a beautiful literary and emotional journey that intertwines genuine stories of attachment with the thoughts and struggles of universal writers such as Virginia Woolf, Albert Camus, Franz Kafka, Rosa Montero, Mario Vargas Llosa, Emily Dickinson, Leo Tolstoy, Pío Baroja, and Mario Benedetti. Their lives and their family and sociopolitical contexts are reflected in their work, their characters, and their creativity. This book holds great educational value, with elegant, clear, and accessible language that will help you better understand the complexities of your own mind and the minds of others, your moods, and how to regulate them through healthy attachment bonds, both within your family and in society. Read it for pleasure, to grow as a person, and to build less violent, more empathetic, and supportive communities.
