Mental health research done book
On June 3, both in person and online, the book "Investigations in Neuropsychology and Mental Health" was presented. This book was born as the result of the first congress of Neuropsychology and Mental Health of the city of Cuenca, which was organized by the careers of Psychology and the Master of Neuropsychology.
In person, in the auditorium of the university, in a ring of yellow chairs, Francisco Salgado, Rector of the University of Azuay; Marta Cobos, Academic Vice Chancellor and compiler of the new book; Ramiro Laso, Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy, Letters and Education Sciences; Felipe Webster, magister in Neuropsychology and Education, and Alexandra Bueno, Sebastián Herrera and Fernanda Coello, compilers and co-authors of the work.
After giving a warm greeting to those present, the same gesture was directed to other co-authors and assistants, among them Luis Quintanar, Yulia Solovieva, Elisa Piedra, Cindy López, Ana Lucía Pacurucu, Alejandro Matute, Fabián Guapisaca, Jonathan Avilés, José Manuel García, Encarnación Satatorres, Fernando Esteves and María Paula Cevallos. Finally, we thanked Mateo Coello, Director of Postgraduate Studies at the University, and the members of the publishing house.
This new book contemplates aspects necessary to treat such as neuropsychology for infants, adults and the elderly, at the same time trying to incorporate technologies for the optimization of the treatment of various psychological disorders.
"Research in Neuropsychology and Mental Health" is divided into 4 sections:
1: Analysis in neuropsychological research applied to early childhood.
2: Research applied to the adult and elderly population.
3: Technologies at the service of the neurosciences.
4: Innovation in psychological therapy.
In the presentation of the work, Francisco Salgado affirmed that: “The most important thing that an academic can do is a book, since arriving at a book is reaching the full trajectory, not in the last years or months of development, but in the trajectory in his life that led him to this ”.
Later, he added that: "Mental health is something that will serve all families, not only those who understand the subject, since we are all concerned that our life experience on earth reaches its fullness"
Later, it was Felipe Webster who addressed the audience starting with the idea of mental health, saying: “Mental health has always been considered a taboo and has always been given little importance, so spaces must be created to build and promote knowledge to create a substantial change in society and to have a different way of perceiving mental health in society ”.
Finally, the floor was passed to Luis Quintanar Rojas, co-author of the book, accompanied by Yulia Solovieva. From his computer in Puebla, Mexico, he addressed those present saying: "For many authors, writing a book is like having a child."
He added that "the fact of physically expressing a series of ideas, theories and own experiences implies not only the knowledge that one may have throughout his academic life but also the desire to communicate."
Luis Quintanar believes that writing can transcend to a great extent over the years and that this book will cross borders when consulted by various people from different parts of the world.
The co-author affirms that it is an honor to be part of this book and congratulated Alexandra Bueno and Martha Cobos for their great initiative.
"This book will be an example for colleagues and students who will be motivated and interested to follow the same path," he concluded.
