Book SynopsisA clear and comprehensive review of contemporary psychodynamic theory and clinical practice for both novice and experienced therapists. Covering the key applications of psychodynamic psychotherapy to a range of presentations and guiding the reader through the psychodynamics of staff-client relationships and the development of reflective practice--Trade Review'Unlike psychoanalytic authors whose writing is oriented mainly toward colleagues with extensive analytic training, these contributors intend their chapters to reach audiences that may be new to a psychoanalytic frame of reference, or sceptical of it, or confused by it. Somehow, they have also made the book interesting and clinically relevant to experienced psychoanalytic readers … I know from experience that it is not easy to produce a multi-authored compendium whose final product embodies an overall continuity and integration, and so I am impressed that the authors of this volume have managed that feat. I urge readers of all mental health disciplines, professional involvements, and theoretical orientations to spend time with this worthy and important book. I think you will find it as fascinating and clinically helpful as I did.' Nancy McWilliams, Ph.D., Distinguished Retired Professor, Rutgers Graduate School of Applied & Professional Psychology'I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and found it accessible and informative. The various authors conveyed the principles, practices, research, theories, and history of psychoanalysis in a way that was engaging and easy to understand, even for those such as myself, from outside the field. For clinicians (specialists and generalists alike) understanding the unconscious processes taking place in the consulting room can be invaluable in delivering effective care to our patients, and this book was able to provide insights into this important area.' Dame Clare Gerada, President, Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP), PRCGP FRCPsych FRCP (Hons)'This excellent book does exactly what it says it will; to be a guide to what psychodynamic psychotherapy is, how to do it well and for whom it works best. For too long, psychodynamic psychotherapy has been plagued by what we now might call 'deep fakes'; first, that the idea that psychological therapists who think this way holds strange and esoteric sets of beliefs about how the mind works, and second, that there is no evidence that treatments based on this paradigm might be helpful. This helpful book outlines why both ideas have been conclusively proved wrong. I have no doubt that the future of psychiatry needs to be psychodynamic, and this book shows why psychodynamic thinking applied to psychiatry not only makes it more interesting, but makes us as psychiatrists more human and more effective.'

Book SynopsisA deeply researched and highly original investigation into depression which argues the case for embracing both art and science in our understanding and treatment of the conditionTrade ReviewOliver Kamm's urbanity, erudition and compassion are raised to the power of two in Mending the Mind. He put them to work in crafting this gorgeous and urgent book, and on every page they remind us of his moral that enviable gifts are no protection against the affliction of depression -- STEVEN PINKER, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of HOW THE MIND WORKSWith startling openness and honesty, but without angling for sympathy, Kamm describes his symptoms . . . Kamm's overall message is that despite the utter grimness of those symptoms, sufferers should remain optimistic . . . Mending the Mind reminds us that, despite our hazy understanding of depression, and despite the true horror of the illness, some hope for recovery remains -- Stuart Ritchie * THE TIMES *A tour de force that is not just personal, but looks at depression through science, art, literature and history. The combination makes it an important, affecting and effective book -- ALASTAIR CAMPBELLThe combination of Kamm's up close and personal and investigative approaches together make this both useful and insightful. It's also extremely intelligent, compassionate and well-written -- Katie Law * EVENING STANDARD *There are lots of books on depression, but not many combine both an authentic and moving personal story with rigorous research and analysis. Kamm tackles the big questions on depression, and his answers are clear, unsentimental and compelling -- PROFESSOR SIR SIMON WESSELY, Regius Chair of Psychiatry, King's College London and Past President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the Royal Society of MedicineUplifting . . . easy-to-read. The book covers all aspects of the illness, such as what causes it, medical treatment, psychological treatment, living with it and, finally, the end of it * THE IRISH TIMES *Mending the Mind elegantly combines a powerful personal story of experiencing and recovering from severe depressive illness with a wide-ranging overview of what depression means to artists and scientists, poets and practitioners. Oliver Kamm has succeeded in putting his lived experience here and now at the heart of an inclusive, broad-minded account of how depression has been understood and misunderstood, diagnosed and treated, over hundreds of years -- PROFESSOR EDWARD BULLMORE, Cambridge University, author of THE INFLAMED MINDThis is a deeply personal and important book. It is painful but ultimately exhilarating to read. As Oliver Kamm notes, depression may be common but it is still not widely understood. At a time when isolation risks a heavy psychological toll, it deserves to be read more than ever -- ANDREW BAILEY, Governor of the Bank of EnglandOliver Kamm has the rare ability to combine emotional honesty with intellectual rigour. The result is a book that simultaneously breaks your heart and educates you as it brings light to one of the darkest corners of the human condition -- NICK COHEN, columnist for the ObserverMending the Mind is a brave and searingly honest personal account of depression that offers comfort and hope to those who have been afflicted by mental illness and valuable insight to those who have not. Kamm's book is all the more vital because of the public health crisis we find ourselves in, and the toll it may take on our nation's mental health -- BETH RIGBY, Political Editor, Sky News

Book SynopsisEating disorders are potentially life-threatening psychiatric illnesses commonly accompanied by serious medical problems. They typically appear during adolescence or early adulthood, a time when young people are heading to college or interviewing for a first job. Many people recover fully from eating disorders, but others become chronically ill, and symptoms can continue into middle age and beyond. Written by leading authorities in eating disorders research and treatment, Eating Disorders: What Everyone Needs to Know answers common questions about eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder, as well as a newly described condition, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). Practical yet authoritative, the book defines the eating disorders, explains what we know about them based on the latest science, and describes how treatment works. Importantly, the book dispels common myths about eating disorders, such as the notion that they occur only amongst the affluent, that they affect only girls and women, or that they simply result from environmental factors such as the fashion industry and society''s obsession with thinness. In reality, as the book explains, there is substantial evidence that eating disorders are brain-based illnesses that do not discriminate, and that they have been around for a very long time. Eating Disorders: What Everyone Needs to Know is essential reading for those seeking authoritative and current information about these often misunderstood illnesses.Trade ReviewCollectively, Walsh, Attia and Glasofer have been at the cutting edge of eating disorders treatment and research for several decades now. These authors are extraordinarily well placed to provide a wide ranging and informative text on everything someone with an eating disorder, or someone who cares for a loved one with an eating disorder ought to know. Ultimately, this text serves as the perfect psychoeducational volume to empower sufferers and their carers to take the necessary step(s) in the recovery process. * Daniel Le Grange, PhD, Benioff UCSF Professor in Childrens Health, Department of Psychiatry, UCSF, CA, and Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience, The University of Chicago, Chicago, IL *Written by a team of top clinician-researchers, this outstanding practical guide covers what eating disorders are and are not and what we know and dont know about them It delivers a clear and concise road map to the most effective evidence-based treatments and to finding help for you or your loved one. * Angela S. Guarda, MD, Stephen and Jean Robinson Associate Professor of Eating Disorders, Department of Psychiatry, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine *Written by an internationally acclaimed team of clinical researchers, this book is a comprehensive update on the science of eating disorder and its relevance for clinical care for people with an eating disorder. This book is a must read resource for anyone who wants to gain an accurate understanding of eating disorders: what they are, what can be done to prevent them, and how best to support people who experience an eating disorders or have a loved one who is affected. * Ruth Striegel Weissman, Dipl Psych, PhD, Editor-in-Chief, International Journal of Eating Disorders *Table of ContentsPart I: Facing the Facts and Busting the Myths Chapter 1: What are Eating Disorders?

Book SynopsisSleep is one of life''s fundamental requirements, and like oxygen, water, and food, we simply cannot live without it. Sleep is essential for tissue repair, metabolism, growth, infection control, and for learning, memory, and emotional regulation. Moreover, these critical functions of sleep remain true across the lifespan. In many ways sleep is nature''s medicine; it is what nature has provided to deliver daytime functioning and to maintain health and wellbeing.The Oxford Handbook of Sleep and Sleep Disorders has been carefully collated by its internationally renowned editors to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to our understanding of sleep and circadian processes, and of the clinical disorders of sleep and sleep-wake regulation. The handbook therefore covers what sleep is and why it matters, but also explains the disorders of sleep, and how they can be assessed, differentiated, and treated.Comprising 46 chapters, each written by leading experts in their field, the handbook is organized around four sections: 1. the fundamentals of sleep and circadian processes; 2. the roles and functions of sleep; 3. societal factors influencing sleep; and 4. disorders of sleep and circadian function. This final section is further subdivided into several components including epidemiology, classification, and assessment; management and treatment; and lifespan issues and special populations.Taken together the handbook offers clinicians and scientists the most contemporary and authoritative single resource for clinical practice and for research in the developing fields of sleep science and sleep medicine.

Book SynopsisPsychotic disorders are a major public health challenge. Psychoses are associated with significant individual, familial, and societal costs. Yet, our understanding of these conditions is limited because the overwhelming majority of research is conducted in a small number of countries in North America, Europe, and Australasia, which together comprise only around 16% of the world''s population. There are consequently substantial gaps in our knowledge of psychoses, and the need for a global perspective is obvious.Psychosis: Global Perspectives comprises two parts: In the first half of the book, the authors review the current evidence base on psychoses around the world by theme, from epidemiology to human rights, highlighting commonalities and differences between settings and illustrating the gaps in our knowledge.

Book SynopsisThis book, written by a client, challenges the power of theory and ask questions which deserve to be aired, and in so doing presents a powerful and articulate appeal for greater sensitivity, a critical view and better practice.Trade Review'Psychotherapeutic literature abounds with therapists' descriptions of the therapeutic process and with theoretical explanations of ideal psychotherapy. Only in recent years have consumers begun to add their voice to the literature. As Anna Sands' book shows, the perspective of the consumer may be quite different from that of the published practitioner. Falling for Therapy is a powerful addition to this material; it shows not only that a corrective perspective is sorely needed but that consumers can be every bit as articulate and perceptive as therapists - perhaps more so. Anna Sands' book should be required reading for all psychotherapists and counsellors, as well as by intending, questioning or dissatisfied consumers' - Colin Feltham, Sheffield Hallam University 'Based on her experiences of two very different psychotherapists the author has used her passionate feelings about the encounters to make a sane and intelligent criticism of rigidly applied technical methods. In her view the nearer psychotherapy approaches normal conversation the better it is likely to be - a belief that I, for one, would readily endorse' - Peter Lomas, author of Doing Good? Psychotherapy out of its Depth 'In this engagingly intelligent, highly readable and timely book, Sands carries forward to new levels the vitally important task started by Ann France and Rosie Alexander, of therapy clients daring to talk back to therapy - in the process showing we therapists that we have at least as much to learn from clients' views on therapy as they have to learn from us. Falling for Therapy should be mandatory reading on all therapy training courses - indeed, for all practising therapists, especially psychodynamic ones, and however experienced they may be. In my view, the extent to which this does or does not happen will strongly indicate whether psychotherapy and counselling are yet sufficiently open or mature to deserve their increasingly sought-after status of recognised, legitimate 'professions.' - Richard House, counsellor and Steiner Waldorf teacher, author of Limits to Professionalised Therapy 'In advocating a deeply human(e), creative approach to therapy, Sands' description offers us - if we are able to hear it - an invaluable cautionary reminder about what can happen when a practitioner-and Therapy-centred ideology threatens to obscure the source of what is truly healing within a genuinely helping encounter.' - European Journal of Psychotherapy, Counselling & Health 'Anna Sands' book is a valuable addition to the gradually increasing literature on psychotherapy from the client's view, a perspective much needed by the psychotherapy world if not always welcomed as such... Anna Sands' brave, passionate, intelligent and fair account of therapy, I would recommend not only to clients and intending clients but to intending and practicing counsellors and therapists.' - Self and Society 'I have found it of great interest, particularly as a testimony to what is helpful and harmful to clients. I shall certainly refer to it in future.' - Emmy van Deurzen Director, New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling 'It seems to me a very intelligent, perceptive and well informed - not to say accurate - appraisal of psychotherapy. I certainly wish the author every success.' - David Smail 'Sands puts forward a fascinating and powerful case against therapy. So rarely is the client's voice heard. Anyone who's had a frightful experience with therapy (I've had four) will devour this with relish.' - Virginia Ironside, The WeekTable of ContentsWhat's the Problem?.- Beginnings and Endings.- Theory... and Practice.- Who Calls the Tune?.- The Power of Language.- Blind Alleys.- Transference: Cure or Catch 22?.- In the Dark Room.- Burning Bridges.- Survival of the Fittest?.- The Compulsion to Repeat: Who Needs What?.- The Problem of Attachment.- When Therapy Traumatises.- The Straitjacket of 'Analysis'.- Responsibility.- Accountability.- The Healing Art?.- Will You, Won't You....Won't You Join the Dance?.- Appendix.

Book SynopsisThis book describes the theoretical and clinical rationale for the use of Family-Based Treatment (FBT) for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). Based on years of clinical care and systematic study of children and adolescents with ARFID using Family-Based Treatment for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (FBT-ARFID), the manual provides guidance about assessment of ARFID. Topics covered include how to incorporate the medical, nutritional, and psychiatric problems that are common with this disorder and how to evaluate the principle maintaining behaviors related to lack of interest or appetite, extreme sensory sensitivities to food, and fear of physical repercussions of eating (e.g. pain, vomiting, allergic reactions). Step-by-step illustrations of the key interventions in FBT-ARFID are provided and detailed case discussions demonstrate how these are implemented in a range of cases.Ideal for clinical practitioners who treat children and adolescents witTrade Review"Professor Lock's wealth of clinical experience, wisdom, and skill, is deftly captured in this well-structured, clearly written book. It represents a significant step towards addressing current limitations in evidence-based guidance for clinicians working with families affected by ARFID. The welcome addition of three chapters illustrating the practical application of the material covered, and the emphasis on integrating developmental, physical, and mental health aspects of ARFID presentations in treatment, enhances its accessibility and relevance. A highly recommended volume."Dr. Rachel Bryant-Waugh, consultant clinical psychologist, lead clinician ARFID Service, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, National and Specialist CAMHS - Maudsley Centre for Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders (MCCAED)"This book is a much-needed addition to the clinician’s armamentarium for treating children and adolescents with Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). Dr. James Lock has eloquently summarized the research literature on the topic of Family-Based Treatment (FBT) for ARFID; subsequently taking the reader through a step-by-step application of this method. For those who are already familiar with FBT, the book clearly describes the differences between FBT for Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa compared to FBT for ARFID. One of the most useful aspects of this manual is a thorough description of ARFID subtypes and how FBT is modified for each. In addition, the developmental aspects of eating behaviour are clearly reviewed and carefully considered in the implementation of this treatment. This is an excellent resource for anyone working with children and adolescents with eating disorders, disordered eating or feeding issues."Jennifer Couturier, MD, MSc, FRCPC, FAED, child and adolescent psychiatrist, medical co-director, Eating Disorders Program, McMaster Children's Hospital, associate professor, McMaster University, Ontario, Canada "From one of the creators of Family-Based Treatment (FBT)—the leading evidence-based therapy for eating disorders in youth—comes an adaptation of FBT for avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) in young people. This engaging manual is well-written, sensible, and will feel like a familiar yet missing tool for clinicians caring preschoolers, school-age children, and teens with ARFID. Capitalizing on the family as a resource, FBT-ARFID empowers parents to use the skills they already have to help their children eat and thrive." Jennifer J. Thomas, PhD, and Kamryn T. Eddy, PhD, co-directors, Eating Disorders Clinical and Research Program, Massachusetts GeneralHospital; associate professors of Psychology, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School; co-authors, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder: Children, Adolescents, and Adults"Demonstrating once again the potential of a well written treatment manual to transform both research and clinical care, Lock and colleagues have poured their clinical experience and scientific knowledge into this synthesis of the Family-Based Treatment approach to Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). The crucial theoretical, developmental and scientific bedrock on which the approach is built is articulated in the opening chapters, delivered with accessible clarity and abounding with clinical experience. The treatment itself is outlined in three chapters, one for each phase, followed in subsequent chapters by detailed case examples addressing adaptations for each of the three main ARFID subtypes, low interest, sensory sensitivity and fear of adverse consequences. For experienced FBT therapists the style and structure will be familiar; the richness comes through the numerous vignettes and therapist dialogue scattered throughout, from which the authors’ experience of effectively supporting young people and parents shines through. This will become a standard text for any eating disorders therapist working with children and young people."

Book SynopsisThere would be no need for sociology if everyone understood the social frameworks within which we operate. That we do have a connection to the larger picture is largely thanks to the pioneering thinker Ãmile Durkheim. He recognized that, if anything can explain how we as individuals relate to society, then it is suicide: Why does it happen? What goes wrong? Why is it more common in some places than others? In seeking answers to these questions, Durkheim wrote a work that has fascinated, challenged and informed its readers for over a hundred years. Far-sighted and trail-blazing in its conclusions, Suicide makes an immense contribution to our understanding to what must surely be one of the least understandable of acts. A brilliant study, it is regarded as one of the most important books Durkheim ever wrote.Trade Review' - Suicide is one of the great classics of sociology. Although it is now more than a century old, it remains the most significant work on suicide ever produced.''Durkheim's great books are dedicated to the proposition that society transcends the individual: that our beliefs, values, dispositions and desires are often products of social forces and structures we poorly understand.' - Financial Times'One of the acutest and most brilliant sociologists.' - Bronislaw MalinowskiTable of ContentsBook I Extra-Social Factors1.Suicide and Psychopathic States 2.Suicide and normal Psychological Sates-Race Heredity 3.Suicide and Cosmic Factors 4.ImitaionBook II Social Causes and Social Types1.How to Determine Social Causes and Social Types 2.Egoistic Suicide 3.

Book SynopsisBereavement Care for Families is a practical resource for the clinician, one that draws upon the evidence supporting family approaches to bereavement care and also provides clinically oriented, strategic guidance on how to incorporate family approaches into other models.Trade Review"Bereavement Care for Families is groundbreaking in its recognition that grief is inescapably and quintessentially a family affair. No one has studied family grief more extensively nor offered clearer insights and practical guidance to therapists on this topic than David Kissane. Countless bereft families will benefit enormously from the wisdom imparted by this book."—Holly G. Prigerson, PhD, director of the Center for Psychosocial Epidemiology and Outcomes Research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School"Bereavement Care for Families is a tremendously important contribution to the bereavement literature in general, not just a useful resource for clinicians. It provides a novel family-centered bereavement-care model, one that complements individual and group approaches. Diverse, highly accessible chapters describe myriad ways in which understanding family-level functioning can benefit care provision, from advantages of harnessing the natural family-support system to potential cost effectiveness. Incorporating this perspective holds every promise of contributing to the welfare of bereaved persons."—Margaret Stroebe, PhD, author of Complicated Grief"Bereavement Care for Families draws together a wide range of contributors from the field of family studies and therapies to produce an integrated account both of the problems of families facing loss, death, and bereavement, as well as their solutions. Most important is the recognition that timely support for families faced with major loss can restore the family as a continuing support to its members, thereby reducing the need for long-term care from psychiatric and other services."—Colin Murray Parkes, consultant psychiatrist emeritus at St. Christopher's Hospice and life president of Cruse Bereavement CareTable of ContentsSeries Editor’s Foreword Robert A.

Book SynopsisAnorexia nervosa has one of the highest death rates of all mental illnesses and one of the poorest treatment outcomes. However, one novel treatment, the neurobiologically-based treatment Temperament Based Therapy with Support (TBT-S), works with clients'' temperament and traits to motivate change, ultimately managing and reducing symptoms. This practical and accessible book is the first guide to delivering TBT-S that addresses the underlying traits leading to symptoms of anorexia nervosa and helps people to manage symptoms long-term. It offers background information on the role of temperament in anorexia nervosa, the development of the TBT-S protocol and the evidence gathered. Chapters also cover how to use this therapy to augment existing treatment. A valuable resource for clinicians involved in the treatment of anorexia nervosa, including psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, specialist nurses, dieticians, and educators.Trade Review'This book is an impressive example of the welcome move to an evidence-based biopsychosocial model of anorexia nervosa. By using state-of-the-art research combined with empathy and creativity, this personalised intervention will update the previous transdiagnostic approach. The authors are outstanding clinicians and neuroscientists who are passionate about sharing their knowledge not just with their peers but with those with lived experience through inventive exercises and meticulous information and skill sharing. The result is a targeted treatment that shows great promise. I can recommend this book not just for the wide range of clinicians involved within the field but also as a source book for families who might encounter this problem.' Janet Treasure, PhD FRCP FRCPsych, Professor of Adult Psychiatry, Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London'Leave it to Laura Hill and her group (with inspiration from Walter Kaye) to come up with an approach to treating and supporting people with Anorexia Nervosa that is evidence informed, integrative, comprehensive, clinically relevant and, all the while, guided by “outside of the box” thinking. Every clinician worth his/her/their salt working with people affected by Anorexia Nervosa, if they seek to expand their therapeutic horizons, had better pay attention to this innovative treatment manual.' Howard Steiger, PhD, Head, Eating Disorders Continuum, Douglas University Institute Montreal West Island Integrated University Health and Social Service Centre Professor, Psychiatry Department, McGill University Quebec, Canada'Recovery from Anorexia Nervosa is elusive for far too many individuals who have been afflicted by this serious eating disorder. The authors have integrated decades of clinical and research experience into a novel treatment approach. This clear and comprehensive manual describes how to work with (rather than against) the temperamental features that may have led to the development of the eating disorder or impede efforts toward positive change. It offers new hope to people with anorexia nervosa and those committed to support them in their journey toward recovery. The book also provides a valuable resource for researchers seeking to advance evidence-based treatment for eating disorders.'

Demonstrating core principles that allow clinicians to individualize treatment and engage families, creating the best outcomes. Essential reading for mental health professionals and students.Trade Review'This collection of case studies is the most comprehensive and clinically relevant that I have ever read. As a practicing Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, I have come face to face with many of the same clinical presentations and found Dr Strawn's review of the management thoughtful and integrative. It provides a unique framework for approaching these difficult interactions and offers a glimpse into how to combine science with the art of psychopharmacology when the evidence base is lacking. The emphasis on unique child and adolescent disorders, family dynamics and developmental pharmacology, outlines not just what the patient may need but also why. This is a must have for any Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist's library. I will certainly use it when teaching my residents and fellows and in my own practice as well.' Nicole M. Ballinger, DO, MPH, FAPA, Medical Staff President/Director, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Aurora Psychiatric Hospital, Wauwatosa, WI'Drs. Strawn and Stahl have really done it!

Book SynopsisThe Neuroscience of Sleep and Dreams provides comprehensive coverage of the basic neuroscience of both sleep and dreams for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students. Unlike other introductory texts, it emphasizes the social nature of sleep and dreams, and links the latest science to established evolutionary theory.Trade Review'This book offers neuroscience's cutting-edge answers to age old questions about sleep and dreams. Patrick McNamara explains research findings in enough detail for the beginner, but with enough depth for the practicing neuroscientist who wants to catch up on these areas. I recommend it enthusiastically to all who want a solid scientific perspective on sleep and dreams.' Deirdre Barrett, author of The Committee of Sleep and Pandemic Dreams'In our increasingly sleep- and dream-deprived world, McNamara's book stands out as a refreshing, authoritatively sourced, and decidedly engaging introduction to the neuroscience of sleep and dreaming. Part textbook and part trade book, it appeals both to serious students of sleep/dream science and to the educated lay public. This second edition of an already successful book adds considerable new material germane to explaining the neurobiology and functions of sleep and dreaming across the lifespan and how these phenomena are central to the promotion of a healthy lifestyle.' Tore Nielsen, University of Montreal, Canada'This book is a wonderfully accessible and much needed resource for students, teachers, and the general public. The sleep and dream sciences are rapidly expanding but have been underrepresented in psychology and neuroscience textbooks for higher education. This volume goes a great distance toward filling this gap! Adding to the solid background in sleep science provided in the first edition, this second edition presents many of the newer findings in this burgeoning field.

Book SynopsisWinner of the 2022 Gradiva Award for Best Edited Book!Understanding shame as a relational problem, Shame Matters explores how people, with support, can gradually move away from the relentless cycle of shame and find new and more satisfying ways of relating.Orit Badouk Epstein brings together experts from across the world to explore different aspects of shame from an attachment perspective. The impact of racism and socio-economic factors on the development and experience of shame are discussed and illustrated with clinical narratives. Drawing upon the experience of infant researchers, trauma experts and therapists using somatic interventions, Shame Matters explores and develops understanding of the shameful deflations encountered in the consulting room and describes how new and empowered ways of relating can be nurtured. The book also details attachment-informed research into the experience of shame and outlines how it can be applied to cTrade Review"Written by a diverse group of international experts, this book is a much-needed deep dive into the complicated facets of shame. Exploring the impact of attachment, dissociation, internalized oppression, the body, and so much more, each chapter offers a unique and illuminating perspective that, taken together, gift the reader with clinically relevant ways to relationally conceptualize and successfully address shame in ourselves and our clients." Pat Ogden, Ph.D., Founder, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute, USA"Shame erodes! The connection between one person and another is particularly vulnerable to the presence of shame. Yet, connection between one person and another also has the capacity to weaken shame, bringing opportunities for self-curiosity, self-exploration, self-growth, relational bonding and genuine intimacy. Long ignored as an emotion of therapeutic import, shame is now understood to be central to all aspects of the therapeutic process, not least the ruptures and repairs crucial to traverse for successful therapy. This book explores with dedication and creativity the importance of shame in human relationships, especially those centring around therapy. Like shame, this book matters. Therapists of every persuasion will benefit from absorbing its content and those they work with will grow as a result." Martin Dorahy, Ph.D., Professor, School of Psychology, Speech and Hearing, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand"As the title of this most important book accurately indicates, and as its contents abundantly show, shame matters a lot in mental health and social relationships. In essence, shame involves the experience that something is wrong with us, which in daily life may enable us to take responsibility for our actions which may have harmed our relationships, in order to reach repair and restoration of what was harmed. However, what this book brings painfully home is how utterly damaging chronic shame is for shamed persons and their ability to relate. Chronic shame, with its pervasive sense of humiliation, most often starts in insecure attachment relationships in early childhood. The contributors to Shame Matters not only painfully testify about this usually hidden but intense suffering, but also convincingly show that repair is possible: in relationships, such as attachment-focused psychotherapy, geared toward the development of secure attachment and to the restoration of the shamed person’s dignity. This book is a must-read for psychotherapists and other mental health workers, but I hope that other people involved in significant relationships, such as partners, parents, teachers, administrators, will also be influenced by its essential message."

Book SynopsisIn the World Library of Psychologists series, international experts present career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces  extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, and their major practical theoretical contributions.In this fascinating collection, Professor Gordon Claridge charts the development of a model of mental health that blurs the line between madness and sanity, conditions such as schizophrenia and other forms of psychosis seen as dimensions of normal' personality and temperament rather than separate abnormalities. Working with, and influenced by, the late Hans Eysenck, Claridge is celebrated for evolving research on personality and psychological disorders into a revised view of the spectrum of psychotic traits. The concept of schizotypy, re-evaluated by Claridge, sees mental illness not as a pathology suffered by a few, but as the end of a continuum experienced by us all.

Book SynopsisThis book addresses a growing need for accessible information on the neuroscience of addiction. In the past decade, neuroscientific research has greatly advanced our understanding of the brain mechanisms of addiction. However this information still remains largely confined to scientific outlets. As legislation continues to evolve and the stigma surrounding addiction persists, new findings on the impact of substances on the brain are an important public health issue. Francesca Mapua Filbey gives readers an overview of research on addiction including classic theories as well as current neuroscientific studies. A variety of textual supports - including a glossary, learning objectives and review questions - help students better reinforce their reading and make the text a ready-made complement to undergraduate and graduate courses on addiction.Trade Review'Francesca Filbey's book, intended for an interdisciplinary audience, bridges concepts in neuroscience with the clinical presentation of addiction. It is logically organized into chapters that describe each progressive stage of the addiction cycle in terms of theoretical perspectives, preclinical models, and human behavior.

Book SynopsisThe persistence of stigma of mental illness and seeking therapy perpetuates suffering and keeps people from getting the help they need and deserve. This volume, analysing the most up-to-date research on this process and ways to intervene, is designed to give those who are working to overcome stigma a strong, research-based foundation for their work. Chapters address stigma reduction efforts at the individual, community, and national levels, and discuss what works and what doesn''t. Others explore how holding different stigmatized identities compounds the burden of stigma and suggest ways to attend to these differences. Throughout, there is a focus on the current state of the research knowledge in the field, its applications, and recommendations for future research. The Handbook provides a compelling case for the benefits reaped from current research and intervention, and shows why continued work is needed.Trade Review'The Cambridge Handbook of Stigma and Mental Health provides an authoritative, up-to-date overview of stigma and mental health research written by leading researchers from around the world.

Book SynopsisThe highest incidence for clinical depressions is during adolescence. Furthermore, mental health illnesses that recur over the life-course begin in young people. 70% of all mental health emerge before thirty years of age. Almost all interventions for young people have been first developed for and targeted at adults. Here for the first time is a talking therapy (BPI), that has been developed for, and with, adolescents. After thirty years of clinical experience with mentally ill adolescents and two major randomised controlled trials of treatment, the authors reveal a brief psychosocial intervention that is as effective as CBT for adolescents with depression with and without comorbid anxiety and conduct disorder. BPI can be taught to mental health practitioners in sixteen hours and they can immediately start delivery of care. After a six-month supervision, new BPI practitioners offer an evidence based and NICE approved treatment in their usual clinical practice.Table of Contents1. Adolescence and the Psychotherapies; 2.

Book SynopsisThis is an insightful and essential new volume for academics and professionals interested in the lived experience of those who struggle with disordered eating. Embodiment and Eating Disorders situates the complicated and increasingly prevalent topic of disordered eating at the crossroads of many academic disciplines, articulating a notion of embodied selfhood that rejects the separation of mind and body and calls for a feminist, existential, and sociopolitically aware approach to eating disorder treatment. Experts from a variety of backgrounds and specializations examine theories of embodiment, current empirical research, and practical examples and strategies for prevention and treatment. Trade Review"Embodiment and Eating Disorders brings together diverse scholar-clinician-advocates whose chapters connect provocative 19th- and 20th-century existential and/or feminist philosophies with a stunning array of topics, including how to do embodying research about embodiment, clinical neuroscience, family therapies, yoga, blogging as resistance to colonizing white beauty ideals, the meanings of recovery, and the limits of ‘positive body image.’ This informative, jargon-free book should become a go-to bridge between embodiment’s rich past and exciting future."—Michael P. Levine, PhD, FAED, emeritus professor of psychology at Kenyon College"Embodiment and Eating Disorders expands the current discourse of conceptualizing, preventing, and treating eating disorders from an intra-individual model to a much-needed embodied model that honors the dynamic interplay between the individual and the world. Qualitative studies, case studies, sample transcripts, and practice recommendations are intertwined within the chapters to illustrate how to promote embodiment in girls and women. This book should prove an invaluable resource for clinicians, researchers, and the general reader alike."—Tracy L. Tylka, PhD, professor of psychology at The Ohio State University and editor-in-chief of Body Image: An International Journal of Research"A wonderful book that adds an understanding of the self as an integrated embodied whole. It offers a novel and much needed existential and phenomenological perspective on eating disorders. A must-read for clinicians and students who want to learn how to work with the lived experience of the body in eating disorders."—Leslie Greenberg, PhD, distinguished research professor emeritus of psychology at York University"What an open and inspired view on the body, the psyche, and the spirit! This volume portrays the body as not just part of the human being, but as the graspable incorporation of humanness. This is the best preventive attitude and therapeutic view!"—Alfried Längle, MD, PhD, founder and president of the International Society of Logotherapy and Existential AnalysisTable of ContentsList of Contributors; Introduction I.

Book SynopsisHow should we understand transgenderism, especially as it affects children and adolescents? Psychiatric manuals include transgenderism among mental illnesses (Gender Identity Disorder). Such inclusion is relatively recent, and even the words transsexual and transgender were coined only a few decades ago. Yet stories of children with an in-between gender have always been, albeit symbolically, a part of popular culture. Drawing on fairy tales, as well as from personal narratives and clinical studies, this book explains how Gender Identity Disorder manifests in children, critically evaluating various clinical approaches and examining the ethical and legal issues surrounding the care and treatment of these youths. The book argues that Gender Identity Disorder is not pathology, and that medicine and society should assist children in expressing themselves, without attempting to force them to adapt to a gender that does not match with their perceived identity.

Book SynopsisSystemic Interventions for Collective and National Trauma explains the theoretical basis for understanding collective and national trauma through the concept of systems theory, and gives ways of implementing systems theory in interventions at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels. Particular attention is given to the use of socio-political and cultural aspects of interventions with victims, as well as to the ethical codes that social workers and other mental health professionals need to integrate in their work with collective/national trauma. Separated into two distinct parts on theory and practice, this volume is appropriate for practitioners as well as students in advanced courses. Trade Review"Dr. Shamai offers both wisdom and science in her exploration of collective trauma and how to intervene in its wake. She engages the reader in a dialogue that stirs thoughtful insights, but does not pretend to offer all the answers. Her book is an unusually intelligent, mature contribution that will be appealing to both clinicians and researchers involved in understanding and responding to terrorism, war, disaster, and mass casualty."—Stevan E. Hobfoll, PhD, Presidential Professor and Chair of Rush Medical College, Chicago. "Finally, an immensely readable work on trauma that brings a systems perspective to this complex area of practice. This work will be useful to any social worker or other mental health care provider who needs to understand how large scale traumatic events affect people for generations. With examples drawn from around the world, and practical approaches to intervention, the book provides a much needed guide to what makes an event traumatic, and how we can help people experience resilience afterwards."—Michael Ungar, PhD, Director, Resilience Research Centre, Dalhousie University.

Book SynopsisHow do we begin to cope with loss that cannot be resolved?Trade Review"Perhaps Boss’s most valuable advice when faced with pandemic losses: “What we need to hope for is not to go back to what we had, but to see what we can create now and in the future.” She suggested brainstorming with others and being willing to try new things. “Hope for something new and purposeful that will sustain you and give you joy for the rest of your life.”" -- The Independent"This book is packed with observation and stories, and imbued with understanding, compassion, wisdom and permission to be human. I unreservedly recommend it to anyone who is not quite knowing where they find themselves after the events of the past two years." -- Therapy Today

Book SynopsisThis book presents the first behavioral activation (BA) program to help 12- to 18-year-olds overcome depression. The authors provide a systematic framework for increasing adolescents' engagement in rewarding activities and decreasing avoidant behavior. User-friendly features include session-by-session guidelines and agendas, sample scripts, and instructional materials. Strategies are described for actively involving parents and tailoring BA to each teen's needs and developmental level. In a large-size format for easy photocopying, the book contains 35 reproducible handouts. Purchasers get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials.Trade Review"This marvelous volume provides thoughtful guidance for adapting BA--one of the most promising therapies for depression to enter the field in the last two decades--to the treatment of adolescents. The book combines a rich theoretical overview and a straightforward approach to implementation. Developmentally sophisticated and clinically instructive, it should prove to be a most valuable addition to the clinical literature."--Steven D. Hollon, PhD, Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Professor of Psychology, Vanderbilt University "BA is an effective evidence-based treatment for depression, with comparable effects to more complex cognitive-behavioral protocols. This clinical guide is based on the authors' broad experience and research. Combining scientific findings with practical guidelines for conducting BA with adolescents, this is an essential resource."--Pim Cuijpers, PhD, Department of Clinical Psychology, VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands "This book should be on the shelf of all clinicians who work with mood-disordered adolescents, from entry-level therapists to advanced practitioners. BA has been shown to be an effective treatment for adult depression, but until now, there has not been a developmentally appropriate adaption that clinicians could readily utilize. McCauley and colleagues present a clear, step-by-step approach that is grounded in theory, research, and extensive clinical experience. The book is designed to teach clinicians how to help their clients experience more rewarding lives; those who read it will be rewarded as well."--David A. Brent, MD, Professor of Psychiatry and Endowed Chair in Suicide Studies, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine "This outstanding clinician's guide provides a cogent rationale for the treatment model and step-by-step instructions on how to structure the sessions, which techniques to use when, and ways to address common treatment challenges. The detailed reproducible handouts are invaluable for both new and experienced clinicians. Case vignettes enable the reader to visualize the course of treatment for a diverse set of problems associated with depression in adolescents. This is an excellent text for students in clinical, counseling, and school psychology. It should be a mandatory addition to any clinician’s library of empirically supported treatments for adolescents."--Laura H. Mufson, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, Columbia University Medical Center and New York State Psychiatric Institute -This is a well-executed text which carefully and clearly explicates the A-BAP program and provides a well-laid out, reproducible treatment protocol. This text would be a valuable asset to any clinic that works with depressed teens or to any practitioner that wishes to become more educated regarding behavioral activation as it applies to the adolescent population. This book would be valuable to any graduate mental health education program where there is a focus on treatment and the provision of empirically supported treatment protocols.--Child and Family Behavior Therapy, 12/1/2017ƒƒThere are copious good-quality A4 handouts for adolescents and their parents to support each module (these are also available online for downloading and printing if you have bought the book). It was especially lovely to see a warm acknowledgement of the diversity of families and parenting arrangements. I could not fault this book.

Book SynopsisA widely adopted practitioner resource and course text, this book shows how to apply knowledge about behavior change in general -- and the stages-of-change model in particular -- to make substance abuse treatment more effective. The authors are leaders in the field who describe ways to tailor interventions for clients with varying levels of motivation or readiness to change. They draw on cutting-edge theory and research on the transtheoretical model to explain what works (and what doesn't work) at different stages of change. Rich clinical examples illustrate the whats, whys, and how-tos of using the stages-of-change model to inform treatment planning and intervention for individuals, groups, couples, and families. New to This Edition *Reflects the ongoing development of the stages-of-change model and research advances over the past decade. *Chapter on stage-based brief interventions in health care, social service, and community settings. *Group treatment chapter Trade Review"For over a decade, the stages-of-change model has created a paradigm shift in the conceptualization, design, and delivery of treatment services for substance use disorders. This updated volume reflects the ongoing evolution of the theoretical model and its ever-expanding clinical application. Particularly noteworthy is a completely revised chapter on group treatment and an intriguing new chapter on applications in health care and other settings. This book is both a valuable treatment guide for clinicians and an excellent classroom text for students."--Arnold M. Washton, PhD, Executive Director, Recovery Options, New York City and Princeton, New Jersey "This is a unique volume produced by leading experts in the addiction field. It presents key concepts related to the process of change and shows how they can inform treatment. The book is straightforward and highly readable, with engaging clinical examples."--Marc Galanter, MD, Director, Division of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, New York University School of Medicine "The path toward successful resolution of substance use problems is not an easy one. This book offers up-to-date research and clinical information focusing on processes of change when working with individuals with problematic substance use. The roadmap to change offered in this book can be used by a wide range of clinicians. Updates in the second edition address the current needs of the field and add to the utility of the book for clinicians, students, and instructors."--Shulamith Lala Ashenberg Straussner, PhD, LCSW, Silver School of Social Work, New York University"I have been using this text for four years in my Treatment Delivery course. The text describes in detail the stages encountered in making any significant lifestyle change, and helps students conceptualize and understand the process of recovery. Students get valuable insights into how to plan interventions that assist clients to move from each stage of change to the next."--E. Michael Bartlinski, LCSW-C, Adjunct Professor of Human Services, Anne Arundel Community College, Arnold, Maryland (on the first edition)- A rock solid book.

What makes this book unique is that it goes beyond specialist care in addictions to offer a practical guide for professionals in a wide range of fields. It draws on a variety of strategies of proven effectiveness that can be individualized to meet client needs. The case management section is especially useful, as is the new chapter on mindfulness. This is an invaluable text for advanced courses in addictions, family studies, and mental health counseling. Miller and his coauthors have helped to revolutionize substance abuse treatment by moving the field from a focus on harsh confrontation to a more compassionate approach."--Katherine van Wormer, PhD, MSSW, Department of Social Work (Emerita), University of Northern Iowa "A comprehensive, easy-to-follow text. Although substance use disorders are inherently complex, this text manages to provide a clear overview of their biological underpinnings; how they develop; and how to assess, diagnose, and treat them. The first edition was an instant classic; the second edition is greatly enhanced by new data and additional content, including a critical new chapter on implementation of evidence-based treatment methods. This is an excellent resource and a 'must have' for students and clinicians who are looking to apply state-of-the-science knowledge to understanding and treating addiction."--Katie Witkiewitz, PhD, Regents’ Professor, Department of Psychology and Center on Alcohol, Substance Abuse, and Addictions, University of New Mexico “I assigned the first edition to my graduate students in two different addiction courses. They read the entire book and we discussed it in class--a significant percentage of the final exam was based on this text. Miller is a living legend in counseling, and I have used his motivational interviewing techniques for almost two decades to move my clients through the stages of change. This is my go-to book for college seniors and graduate students who want to learn about addiction treatment and helping clients into and throughout the recovery process. It is also an excellent resource for professionals with addictions certifications to stay current on the latest information about our incredibly important field.”--Frank L. Greenagel II, MPAP, MSW, LCSW, LCADC, CJC, CCS, Center of Alcohol Studies and School of Social Work, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey -Like its first edition…this guidebook continues to serve as an essential resource for those interested in understanding the development, identification, and treatment of addictions….This remains one of the best texts for applying research and theory to clinical practice using case examples, analysis, and synthesis; given the promise of ongoing editions, it should remain a mainstay in the addictions field….Highly recommended [for] upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals.--Choice Reviews, 4/1/2020ƒƒThe authors have provided an excellent foundation for the understanding of addiction and its context and recommendations for intervention. New and experienced practitioners will be interested in this book and will make reference to it throughout their working lives.

Book SynopsisWidely considered the go-to reference--and now extensively revised with over 65% new material--this authoritative handbook surveys the landscape of current knowledge on psychopathy and addresses essential clinical and applied topics. Leading researchers explore major theoretical models; symptomatology and diagnostic subtypes; assessment methods; developmental pathways; and causal influences, from genes and neurobiology to environmental factors. The volume examines manifestations of psychopathy in specific populations as well as connections to antisocial behavior and recidivism. It presents contemporary perspectives on prevention and treatment and discusses special considerations in clinical and forensic practice. New to This Edition *Extensively revised with more than a decade's theoretical, empirical, and clinical advances. *Many new authors and topics. *Expanded coverage of phenotypic facets, with chapters on behavioral disinhibition, callousâunemotional traitsTrade Review"Patrick has assembled an impressive group of authors for this updated second edition. Providing comprehensive coverage of current issues in psychopathy research, the book allows the reader to peer behind the 'mask of sanity.' This is an invaluable A to Z primer on psychopathy that highlights new insights into etiology, culture, gender, ethnicity, development, and more, with each chapter emphasizing avenues for future research. Highly recommended for students, researchers, and clinicians alike."--Adelle Forth, PhD, President, Society for the Scientific Study of Psychopathy; Department of Psychology, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada "An admirably comprehensive and scholarly second edition. Broad in scope--covering theory, manifestations, assessment, etiology, development, subpopulations, treatment, and more--and rich in empirical data, this handbook will be the authoritative resource for years to come. Chapters are written by renowned investigators and clinicians from across the world. A book especially apt for current times, the Handbook is essential reading for clinicians, researchers, attorneys, judges, and social policymakers seeking to understand psychopathy and its place in the spectrum of antisocial behavior and to mitigate its effects on society. I recommend it highly!"--Andrew E. Skodol, MD, Research Professor of Psychiatry, University of Arizona College of Medicine "Patrick has once again succeeded in bringing together the foremost scholars and practitioners on psychopathy. The second edition of the Handbook captures more than a decade of clinical and conceptual advances; about half the chapters are new and others are essentially rewritten. Across chapters, the triarchic model serves as an integrative framework for understanding different conceptualizations of psychopathy and their respective assessment measures. The volume addresses this complex topic with breadth and depth, from etiological explanations to clinical and forensic applications."--Richard Rogers, PhD, ABPP, Regents Professor of Psychology, University of North Texas "Few human phenomena are more intriguing than psychopathy, and few scholarly handbooks have attracted as much interest as this landmark work. In this thoroughly revised and updated second edition, Patrick raises the bar yet again. Particularly welcome is the emphasis on contemporary empirical and multidimensional models of psychopathic traits, a key development since the first edition that is interwoven throughout this edition. A 'must' for the bookshelves of all mental health practitioners and scholars, and suitable for upper-level courses in a variety of disciplines, the Handbook provides thorough and groundbreaking insights that will shape the field for many years to come."--Robert F. Krueger, PhD, Distinguished McKnight University Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota "Reflecting developments in the field, the second edition of the Handbook focuses less on the syndrome of psychopathy and more on psychopathic traits measured dimensionally in the general population. It includes thorough, thoughtful reviews of current findings that lay the bases for future research. Controversies in the field are not avoided--rather, theories and models are evaluated in light of existing data. The volume addresses assessment and rehabilitation; presents leading formulations of psychopathy; and explains recent advances in our understanding of the etiological mechanisms promoting psychopathy, associated structural and functional neural abnormalities, and corresponding dysfunctions in cognitive and affective processing. This second edition is an indispensable resource for students and faculty researching psychopathy, as well as policymakers, practitioners working with offenders, and legal scholars."--Sheilagh Hodgins, PhD, FRSC, Institut Universitaire en Santé Mentale de Montréal, Département de Psychiatrie, Université de Montréal, Canada "The encyclopedic range of topics is striking, with the concept of psychopathy evaluated from many different angles. Of particular note is the second edition's consideration of important contemporary developments, including ongoing discussions around definitions of constructs--for example, the alternative DSM-5 model for personality disorders, or the role of boldness in the conceptualization of psychopathy. It presents the latest thinking about potential etiological mechanisms, including influences as diverse as neurobiological and cultural factors. The volume offers valuable contributions for practicing clinicians as well as scholars, from early-career to senior professionals."--Leslie C. Morey, PhD, George T. & Gladys H. Abell Professor of Psychology, Texas A&M University "I have used this text at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. At the undergraduate level, this book was appropriate as a stand-alone text for a special topics course in psychopathy. The breadth of material allows the instructor to select specific chapters to use during lectures to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the topic; remaining chapters are an excellent source for student presentations and papers on more specific aspects of psychopathy. At the graduate level, there are several chapters that complement the material normally covered in courses such as criminal behavior, forensic psychology, psychological diagnosis and assessment, tests and measures, biopsychology, social psychology, aggression, violence risk, and threat assessment. Overall, the Handbook succeeds in being rigorous yet accessible. Students are able to relate information from the text to cases in the popular media and concepts in the scientific literature."--Richard P.
