Taylor & Francis Ltd Attachment Theory Social Developmental and
Book SynopsisAt a historic conference in Toronto in October 1993, developmental researchers and clinicians came together for the first time to explore the implications of current knowledge of attachment. This volume is the outcome of their labors. It offers innovative approaches to the understanding of such diverse clinical topics as child abuse, borderline personality disorder, dissociation, adolescent suicide, treatment responsiveness, false memory, narrative competence, and the intergenerational transmission of trauma.Trade Review"John Bowlby would be thrilled by this volume, which honors his memory by reviewing his theory of attachment in the light of today's advancements in basic developmental knowledge, clinical thinking, and newer methods of inquiry. An array of distinguished contributors present programmatic research and integrative perspectives in highly readable chapters. Attachment theory emerged from multidisciplinary psychoanalytic roots, from considerations of evolutionary biology, and from Bowlby's strong belief that multiple methods and approaches were necessary to advance our knowledge and development and its deviations. This book masterfully illustrates the correctness of Bowlby's view as attachment theory is applied, modified, and extended. Readers will experience the excitement of how a changing and useful theory of human relationships opens our eyes still further to new vistas. The latter will be an especially important grounding as we come to assimilate the anticipated knowledge explosion in genetics and the neurosciences."- Robert N. Emde, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, University of Colorado School of Medicine"After four decades of painstaking theoretical and empirical work, attachment theorists are now returning to the clinical roots of attachment theory. This is the basic message of Attachment Theory: Social, Developmental, and Clincal Perspectives, in which leading developmentalists, biologists, and clinicians discuss in great depth recent advances in attachment theory, with special emphasis on its clinical applications. The volume is uniquely broad in scope, offering new evidence and fresh insights into attachment across the life-cycle. In particular, the recent upsurge of studies of adult attachment provides a number of unexpected and exciting links to clinical diagnosis along with new avenues for pursuing the therapeutic process. A tribute to John Bowlby, who originated attachment theory, this impressively coherent, well-edited book succeeds in discussing issues of attachment, separation, and loss in an advanced yet nontechnical way. Helping to bridge the gap between basic research and clinical applications, it will serve as a standard reference work on attachment, and as a major source of inspiration to researchers and clinicians alike."- Marinus H. van Ijzendoorn, Ph.D., Professor and Chair, Center for Child and Family Studies, Leiden University, The Netherlands "This book is a rare jewel, a multiauthored textbook that is must reading for any clinician or research investigator interested in a comprehensive review of the current field of attachment theory...Goldberg, Muir, and Kerr are to be congratulated on a work that was both marvelously conceived and wonderfully executed. Every professional working with children and infants needs to read this book. The scope of Bowlby's vision and Ainsworth's research deserve the full measure of recognition that this book imparts."- James J.

Book SynopsisTustin deals very sensitively and sensibly with the knotty problem of parents'' contribution to autistic development, providing a balanced interactive view which does not allocate blame.

Her ideas are expressed clearly and vividly with a refreshing lack of dogmatism. Anyone knowing the powerful impact these children can have on their therapist must pay tribute to the inner strength and security required to treat them with any degree of success.'- H.S.

Her discussion of autistic objects and autistic shapes is illuminating and has widespread clinical applicability.This book is highly recommended reading.'- Mary Boston, British Journal of Medical Psychology'This is a significant book. There is much new thinking in it which will provide discussion for some time to come. To my mind it has another value. In many ways the work provides a complement to Bion's theory and with its graphical clinical description could well contribute to the better integration of his work into the sphere of child psychotherapy. Frances Tustin is not always aware how closely her work matches that of Bion but she was analysed by him and will not be surprised to find herself sharing with him so much that is both adventurous and compassionate.'- Sheila Spensley, Journal of Child Psychotherapy'In writing and publishing this book Tustin shows that the study of autism does not only help us to extend our understanding of the history of the nature and the quality of our perceptions and our reactions to the world, and to ourselves in the world, during the first few moments - seconds, minutes, hours or days - after our birth; it also helps us to understand, diagnose, del with and treat patients - child or adult - who present us with a wider spectrum of psychopathological conditions that we have been able to acknowledge and to comprehend.'- Rosemary Gordon, Journal of Analytical PsychologyTable of ContentsForeword, Preface , Introduction , Psychogenic Autism , The nature of psychogenic autism: an overview , The growth of understanding : a personal statement , Thoughts on psychogenic autism with special reference to a paper by Melanie Klein , A significant element in the development of psychogenic autism , Situations which may precipitate psychogenic autism , Autistic objects , Autistic shapes exemplified in childhood psychopathology , Autistic shapes exemplified in adult psychopathology , Shapes associated with emergence from psychogenic autism , A glimpse into the world of an autistic child , Psychogenic autism in neurotic patients , Falling , Spilling and dissolving , The development of ‘I-ness’ , Anorexia nervosa in an adolescent girl , The rhythm of safety , Psychotherapy with psychogenic autistic states , Concluding Remarks

Taylor & Francis Ltd Infancy
Book SynopsisInfancy: The Basics offers an introduction to the developmental science behind the fascinating world of infant development. This book takes the reader from before birth through the moment infants come into the world seemingly unable to do much but eat, eliminate, and sleep, and across the few short, incredible years, to when infants are walking, talking, thinking humans with clear preferences, wishes, and dreams, having already forged strong long-lasting relationships. Dispelling common myths and misconceptions about how infantsâ perception, cognition, language, and personalities develop, this accessible evidence-based book takes a novel whole-child approach and provides insight into the joint roles of nature (biology) and nurture (experiences) in infant development, how to care for babies to give them the best start in life, and what it means for infants to become thinking communicating social partners. Topics in this book are covered with an eye firmly fixed on how infantsâ first years set the stage for the rest of their lives. By helping us understand infants, experts Marc H. Bornstein and Martha E. Arterberry give us the opportunity to learn about the resiliency of our species and the many different contexts in which families rear infants. They cover key topics, including how babies are studied scientifically, prenatal development and the newborn period, how infants explore and understand the world around them, how infants begin to communicate, how infants develop an emotional life, personality, and temperament, how infants build relationships, and how parents succeed in bringing up babies in challenging circumstances. This concise clear guide to the years from before birth to 3 is for students of developmental psychology, pediatric medicine and nursing, education, and social work. It also for all parents and professionals caring for infants, who want to understand the secret world of infancy.Table of Contents1. Infancy 2. Growing 3. Thinking 4. Communicating 5. Feeling 6.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Routledge International Handbook of Child and
Book SynopsisThis volume presents the leading research in child and adolescent grief from a diverse and global perspective, focusing on the systemic, political, and cultural processes that have a direct bearing on the way youth experience loss and grief.Carrie Traher and Lauren J. Breen bring together a global community of academics, practitioners, and social activists to discuss and address the complexity of lived experiences of grief for young people today. Presented in four parts, the contributors begin by providing a theoretical overview of youth, grief, and bereavement, before moving onto other important topics, such as suicide bereavement, the trauma of war, digital grief narratives, child soldiering, and more. Within each chapter, authors address contemporary theoretical frameworks, research findings, and praxis related to both death and non-death losses, such as the Black Lives Matter movement, environmental grief, and grief on the internet and social media. Including contributorsTrade Review"This timely edited collection from Carrie Traher and Lauren J. Breen has both breadth and relevance. The chapters offer needed insight into areas that have for too long sat outside the lens of research, extending knowledge and establishing a foundation for improved practice."Dr. Sam Frankel, Associate Professor, Childhood and Youth Studies, King’s University College, Canada and Founder – Learning Allowed, UK"In this impressive volume, Traher and Breen have brought together leading thinkers from around the world to explore child and adolescent grief in a wide array of contexts. Compelling and urgent, this edited collection shows the scale and depth of the impact of loss for this population. It will be a reference point for years to come."Dr. Kate Woodthorpe, Director of Centre for Death and Society, University of Bath, UK"As the strikingly diverse contributions to this timely Handbook demonstrate, children and youth stand at the crosshairs of many of this century’s most endemic and intractable sources of trauma and tragedy. Across cultures, continents, and contexts of care, those who are most vulnerable bear a disproportionate share of the often unseen, disenfranchised, or silenced grief that results. Traher and Breen have assembled a formidable resource in these pages to bring such suffering among youth to light, and to point to model programs that foster their ultimate resilience."Robert A. Neimeyer, PhD, Editor of New Techniques of Grief Therapy: Bereavement and Beyond"The International Handbook of Child and Adolescent Grief in Contemporary Contexts covers an impressive range of international issues involving child and adolescent grief which will broaden the perspective of even the most experienced clinician as a result. The editors and contributors have done a phenomenal job of weaving together research and practice, with many of the chapters including important strategies and recommendations to inform organizational development and policy making as well as direct clinical practice."Andrea Warnick, RN, Registered Psychotherapist, Andrea Warnick Consulting"Traher and Breen's comprehensive exploration of child and adolescent death and non-death losses is a timely and indispensable addition to the field of grief studies. With contributions from leading international scholars and clinicians, its meticulously crafted chapters, informed by rigorous research and scholarship, offer a comprehensive view of the intricate tapestry of child and adolescent grief. It is a must-read for clinicians, scholars, and policymakers who seek a deeper understanding of the complex experiences of young people dealing with loss."Christopher Hall, CEO, Grief Australia"In today's swiftly evolving and world, numerous children and adolescents find themselves confronting the challenges, ambiguities, and uncertainties associated with death and bereavement. Carrie Traher and Lauren J. Breen skillfully compiled a wealth of information on contemporary challenges in assisting children and adolescents who grapple with a diverse array of death-related experiences.

It should be required reading for everyone concerned about the education of multilingual children.”Guadalupe Valdés, Bonnie Katz Tenenbaum Professor of Education, Emerita. Stanford University “This comprehensive handbook reviews the latest research about dual language bilingual education (DLBE), at a time when the number of DLBE programs has grown exponentially in U.S. schools. Experts from diverse contexts provide essential theoretical and practical information in this excellent volume to ensure that DLBE programs are able to meet their full potential in serving bilingual communities.”Kate Menken, Queens College of the City University of New York“This is the book that the field of dual language bilingual education has been waiting for. Once a hotly debated instructional approach, parents have discovered the advantages of a bilingual education and now these programs cannot meet the increasing demand. This volume includes up-to-the-minute research and program and policy options, written by the most distinguished researchers in the field. It belongs on the desk of every dual language educator!”Patricia Gándara, UCLA Civil Rights Project“This comprehensive handbook is a must have! It addresses understanding multilinguaiism with attention to school settings that can be responsive to ways of knowing and becoming through “languaging”—using the full expressive power of interacting embodied language systems to serve as cultural and social tools for action expressing meaning and attainment of sociocultural well-being of diverse communities.”Richard Durán, Distinguished Professor, Gevirtz School of Education, University of California, Santa BarbaraTable of ContentsSECTION 1: Theoretical Foundations and Outcomes.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Routledge Handbook of Second Language
Book SynopsisThe Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and Individual Differences provides a thorough, in-depth discussion of the theory, research, and pedagogy pertaining to the role individual difference (ID) factors play in second language acquisition (SLA). It goes beyond the traditional repertoire and includes 32 chapters covering a full spectrum of topics on learners' cognitive, conative, affective, and demographic/sociocultural variation. The volume examines IDs from two perspectives: one is how each ID variable is associated with learning behaviors, processes, and outcomes; the other is how each domain of SLA, such as vocabulary or reading, is affected by clusters of ID variables. The volume also includes a section on the common methods used in ID research, including data elicitation instruments such as surveys, interviews, and psychometric testing, as well as methods of data analysis such as structural equation modeling. The book is a must-read foTrade Review"This handbook provides an essential resource for all those interested in the role of individual differences in second language acquisition and pedagogy. With an emphasis on cutting-edge theory and research, it offers a comprehensive discussion of current issues and developments in this key area of SLA. The book is laudable for its depth of analysis and breadth of topics covered."Hossein Nassaji, University of Victoria, Canada"This handbook is a treasure trove of information and inspiration. It does a remarkable job of covering all classic topics masterfully and offering truly innovative insights into individual differences in language learning that will move the field forward. A must-own resource for SLA researchers and language teachers alike!"Lourdes Ortega, Georgetown University, USA"Recent advances in science and technology have renewed researchers’ interest in the crucial roles individual difference factors play in second language acquisition. This brand-new handbook provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date state-of-the-science overview of the field, and its impact on second language acquisition as an interdisciplinary area of inquiry will be felt for a very long time to come."Li Wei, UCL Institute of Education, University College London, UKTable of ContentsForeword Part 1 Introduction 1 Individual Differences in Second Language Acquisition: Theory, Research, and Practice Part 2 Cognitive Differences 2 Explicit and Implicit Language Aptitudes 3 Working Memory 4 Declarative and Procedural Memory as Predictors of Second Language Development 5 Learning Styles and Strategies 6 Metacognition Part 3 Conative Differences 7 Motivation 8 Mindsets 9 Goal Complexes 10 Willingness to Communicate Part 4 Affective Differences 11 Anxiety 12 Enjoyment 13 Self-Efficacy 14 Learner Beliefs Part 5 Sociocultural and Demographic Differences 15 Identity 16 Age Part 6 Individual Difference Factors for Aspects of Second Language Learning 17 Individual Difference Factors for Second Language Pronunciation 18 Individual Difference Factors for Second Language Vocabulary 19 Individual Difference Factors for Second Language Grammar 20 Individual Difference Factors for Second Language Pragmatics 21 Individual Difference Factors for Second Language Listening 22 Individual Difference Factors for Second Language Speaking 23 Individual Difference Factors for Second Language Reading 24 Individual Difference Factors for Second Language Writing Part 7 Research Methods 25 Surveys 26 Narrative Methods 27 Ethnography 28 Eye-Tracking 29 Psychometric Assessments 30 Measures of Implicit Attitudes 31 Methods for Complexity Theory in Individual Differences Research 32 Structural Equation Modeling and Factor Analysis

Taylor & Francis Ltd Myths and Lies about Dads
Book SynopsisThis groundbreaking volume destroys the most damaging beliefs about fathers. Using the most recent research, this pioneering work exposes these baseless beliefs and the toll they take on children’s relationships with their fathers, parents’ relationship with one another, and the physical and mental health of fathers and mothers.Trade Review"This pioneering work fills an important gap: For a long time we have been waiting for guidance based on verified data in order to be able to deal with parental-child relationships objectively, especially in cases of family breakdown." Jose Torres, Professor at University of Malaga"This is an extraordinary compendium of key research gathered into one place. It will be a critical resource for a wide variety of readers from college students to graduate school students to clinicians, to those involved in the courts with families." Patricia Papernow, psychologist, author, teacher, consultant, Director of Institute for Stepfamily Education"Grounded in a wide range of research and draws implications that interest a general audience on current topics. The book’s material has direct implications for public policy regarding family law, divorce, and child custody. Nielsen frames these issues in a clever and catchy manner that make the book an ideal choice for academic courses, with appeal to a much wider general audience." Richard Warshak, clinical and research psychologist and author“Nielsen argues that fathers are just as competent, devoted, and central to kids’ well-being as mothers. The author, a psychology professor at Wake Forest University, takes aim at the conventional wisdom that considers mothers the mainstays of child rearing and relegates fathers to a supporting role as breadwinners and child care assistants who can be dispensed with after a divorce. On the contrary, she asserts that dads are essential, stating that kids raised with their father in the home are healthier and better adjusted, have higher graduation rates, and are less prone to delinquency, drug abuse, teen pregnancy, depression, and anxiety. The author cites a wealth of sociological statistics and scientific studies but also probes the cultural conventions we apply to fatherhood, exploring everything from the caricature of uncommunicative, emotionally clueless husbands in pop-psychology tomes like Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus to the parade of incompetent, absentee, and deadbeat dads in movies. She writes in a lucid, down-to-earth style that’s free of academic cant and replete with tart wisdom. Dads and moms alike will find much to ponder here. A fresh, eye-opening re-examination of the father’s role in the family, full of stimulating contrarian insights.” Kirkus Reviews (starred review)Table of Contents1 Fathers in America: Why we believe what isn't true—and why it matters 2 American fathers and children 3 Fathers don't matter—and the earth is flat 4 Fathers as parenting partners: Slouches on couches and other nonsense 5 Divorced dads: Dad dumped mom and worse 6 Subverting the stereotypes and mashing the myths
