PCCS Books Beyond Fear and Control: Working with Young
Book Synopsis"Beyond Fear and Control" discusses ways in which services can change the focus from managing or 'stopping' self harm to working with young people in more permissive, 'young person centred' and empowering ways. Although the need for such a change is increasingly being recognised, the practical implications and ethical dilemmas of this shift have rarely been explored. This book addresses this gap by providing in-depth descriptions of a range of innovative practices which are effective in supporting young people who self harm. People harm themselves in many ways and for many different reasons. Whilst we recognise that there is a complex relationship between self harm and suicide, this book is about supporting young people who use self harm primarily as a way of coping with distress. In this context self harm can be viewed as - the expression of, and temporary relief from overwhelming, unbearable and often conflicting emotions, thoughts or memories, through a self injurious act which they can control and regulate. Undoubtedly young people who self harm arouse strong emotional reactions in most people including fear, helplessness, confusion and anger.Responses are often based on a need to try and protect or rescue young people from danger. However, our heightened emotional response, coupled with myths and misunderstandings about both young people and self harm, can lead us to respond in ways that, rather than being empowering and helpful, can be felt as controlling and harmful.Trade ReviewThe contributions in this book recognise that positive strategies are requred in this often distressing and uncomfortable area of work, and offer some thought-provoking recommendations on how to support young people who self-harm. The book should leave readers - people working across children's services and service users alike - with renewed optimism. Jude Sellen, Mental Health Today (UK), November 2007. I found the writing refreshing and easy to negotiate - Several chapters relate theory to practice but this is not clumsy or unnecessary. Rather, the theory adds strength to the discussion which is at all times focussed on the practical application of the work and the narratives of the young people. The narratives both illuminate the work being related an also serve as a constant reminder of the humanity and validity of the narratives of people who self-harm.

Familius LLC Does My Child Have PTSD?: What to Do When Your
Book SynopsisIs it possible that the struggles you have with your child may be because he or she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)? Once ignored, even by the medical professionals treating war veterans, PTSD is gaining global recognition as a very real and serious issue for those who have experienced traumatic events, even children. When children experience medical illness, witness violence, or are abused, it can leave a lasting effect. According to recent studies, 50 to 60 percent of children who experience these traumas early in life may suffer from a form of PTSD, leading to issues in childhood, through adolescence, and even into adulthood. Does My Child Have PTSD? is designed for readers looking for answers about the puzzling, disturbing behaviors of children in their care. With years of research and personal experience, Philo provides critical information to help people understand causes, symptoms, prevention, and effective diagnosis, treatment, and care for any child struggling with PTSD.Trade Review“Jolene Philo is in a unique position to write with both expertise and compassion . . . parents are seeking readable and useful information and Philo delivers!” —Susan H Badeau, President of the North American Council on Adoptable Children“Philo's book will provide a needed resource for parents of children who have experienced trauma.” —Dr. Beth Robinson, Professor of Counseling at Lubbock Christian University"Author Philo shares the remarkable story of her son's 26 years of suffering and the relief from 'mental anguish' he found in one week after being diagnosed with PTSD. Philo's son, Allen, first experienced breathing difficulties immediately following birth; by age four he had undergone five surgeries. At six months—though medical professionals repeatedly insisted 'babies don't feel pain'—he screamed when seeing anyone in a white coat. It wasn't until the family found an outpatient clinic years later that Allen was correctly diagnosed and, through 'self-therapy,' first began to cope. Philo's dramatic story will capture the reader's attention, and there's tremendous value in her patient explanations, from a simple definition of trauma to an exploration of PTSD causes, myths, and common terminology. In a single sentence, Philo can make a dramatic statement (e.g., trauma 'changes the very structure of the brain') and then evenly explain the physiology behind it. Though occasionally heart-wrenching, the book is organized so simply and logically as to be easy to follow and digest. Each chapter ends with 'reflection questions' and additional valuable resources. Philo concludes on a hopeful note, providing encouragement and reassurance for other families in similar situations." —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Personlichkeitstheorie, Psychopathologie,
Book SynopsisText in German. Volume 3 of the Alfred Adler Study Edition contains 57 essays in which the development of Adler's psychotherapeutic theory can be followed over the years 1913 to 1937: through the consolidation and expansion of his basic concept, the rooting of the concept of community feeling in a life-philosophical basis through to stronger social psychological orientation. According to Adler, the psyche is structured by an unconscious striving. This fundamental principle of all human life aims at superiority to overcome the deficiency of human existence. Through an effort of will to power, a sense of authorship over one's life is achieved. The different characteristics of the individual concept of self and life are concrete realizations of the lifestyle. Adler's view of man is fundamentally optimistic, since he believes it is possible for every human being to overcome or compensate for deficiencies. The individual human being is always considered in his relationship to fellow human beings, to nature and to the cosmos. The individual personality cannot be captured by taking stock of the symptoms or character traits, but one must intuitively guess the nature of the person. Adler sought to understand the uniqueness of the self through its mode of movement, through its law of motion.
