Oxford University Press The Power of Mentalizing
Book SynopsisSometimes relationships do not run as smoothly as we would like. Attunement to others can be difficult, and conversely, from time to time we feel misunderstood ourselves by the ones we love. This can lead to misunderstanding, frustration, and friction. If we mentalize more and better, i.e. give more attention to our own feelings, thoughts, desires, and intentions as well as to those of others, our interactions will be more pleasant and feel safer. This applies to every relationship - those with our children and pupils, and those with our partners and colleagues.We all know a student, neighbour, client, or adolescent who feels alone and misunderstood. Maybe we see but hesitate to really connect and mean something to them. Or we think it that there is nothing we can do. This book shows how everyone can make a difference. Making someone feel important, mentalizing about someone, and connecting with someone who may not have felt contact for a long time does make a difference.The Power of Mentalizing explains in an accessible way what mentalizing means and how it can help make a difference in our own lives as well as in the lives of others. The authors of this book draw on the rich developmental psychology literature on attachment, mentalizing, and epistemic trust. They use several examples to explain what it takes to really connect. In addition, they challenge the reader to self-reflect and to become a slightly better version of themselves.Trade Review... translates complex psychological understanding of human interaction into a comprehensible everyday narrative. Readers will be able to relate to the only too human examples of effective and ineffective mentalizing, and thereby use them to reflect on their own mentalizing and how they function in everyday relationships. * From the foreword by Anthony Bateman *

Oxford University Press, USA The Oxford Handbook of Autism and CoOccurring
Book SynopsisCo-occurring psychiatric conditions are extremely common among people who have autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The Oxford Handbook of Autism and Co-Occurring Psychiatric Conditions presents a compilation of the latest research in this area, summarized by internationally renowned experts. Each chapter presents an overview of the problem or disorder including information on prevalence in ASD and in the general public and a synthesis of the research on etiology, diagnostic best practices, and evidence-based intervention approaches. Case studies bring these concepts to life, and each chapter concludes with suggestions for future research directions in order to further develop our scientific and clinical understanding of the particular comorbidity. Given the fact that comorbidity is often a chronic and pervasive concern, this Handbook takes a lifespan approach, with each chapter touching on developmental aspects of the targeted problem, from early childhood through adulthood. The concluding section of the Handbook is comprised of content on clinical considerations and research approaches, including chapters on medications commonly used to treat co-occurring conditions, strategies for managing crisis situations in this clinical population, and community partnerships within an implementation science framework.Trade ReviewI feel that this Handbook belongs in the personal/professional library of any and all individuals studying or serving the autistic population at this time. * Joseph P.

Oxford University Press Coping
Book SynopsisMost people take the process of coping for granted as they go about their daily activities. In many ways, coping is like breathing, an automatic process requiring no apparent effort. However, when people face truly threatening events--what psychologists call stressors--they become acutely aware of the coping process and respond by consciously applying their day-to-day coping skills. Coping is a fundamental psychological process, and people''s skills are commensurately sophisticated. This volume builds on people''s strengths and emphasizes their role as positive copers. It features techniques for preventing psychological problems and breaks from the traditional research approach, which is modeled on medicine and focuses on pathology and treatment.

Oxford University Press Prolonged Exposure Therapy for Adolescents with PTSD
Book SynopsisTraumatic events, including sexual abuse, experiencing or witnessing violence, and natural disasters, are common among adolescents. A significant number of adolescents go on to develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which can have a severe negative impact on well-being and functioning. These adolescents require professional help to free themselves of PTSD symptoms and reclaim their lives. This therapist guide presents a proven treatment for PTSD that has been adapted for the adolescent population. The program applies the principles of Prolonged Exposure (PE) to help adolescents emotionally process their traumatic experiences. A four-phase treatment, adolescents complete each module at their own rate of progress. The pre-treatment preparation phase includes modules on motivational interviewing and case management. During the first treatment phase, modules cover the rationale for treatment, information-gathering about the trauma, and common reactions to trauma. Modules in the nextTrade Review"This is a well developed, thorough protocol for the treatment of PTSD in adolescent victims of trauma...As expected from these authors, the program is well grounded in empirically supported methods of trauma exposure...The manual is developmentally sensitive and provides guidance for the therapist in working with adolescents. There are excellent handouts and case examples throughout the manual." --Anne Marie Albano, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Columbia University/New York State Psychiatric Institute "For readers with a background in CBT and PE therapy, this is a quick reference that guides them in the adaptation of PE therapy for PTSD to an adolescent population.

Oxford University Press Addiction and Choice
Book SynopsisThe central problem in the study of addiction is to explain why people repeatedly behave in ways they know are bad for them. For much of the previous century and until the present day, the majority of scientific and medical attempts to solve this problem were couched in terms of involuntary behavior; if people behave in ways they do not want, then this must be because the behavior is beyond their control and outside the realm of choice. An opposing tradition, which finds current support among scientists and scholars as well as members of the general public, is that so-called addictive behavior reflects an ordinary choice just like any other and that the concept of addiction is a myth. The editors and authors of this book tend to take neither view. There has been an increasing recognition in recent literature on addiction that restricting possible conceptions of it to either of these extreme positions is unhelpful and is retarding progress on understanding the nature of addiction and whTrade ReviewPsychologists, philosophers, behavioral scientists, neuroscientists, curious clinicians, and researchers with a wide array of interests would find something here to challenge them.

Oxford University Press Medical Model in Mental Health
Book SynopsisMany published books that comment on the medical model have been written by doctors, who assume that readers have the same knowledge of medicine, or by those who have attempted to discredit and attack the medical practice. Both types of book have tended to present diagnostic categories in medicine as universally scientifically valid examples of clear-cut diseases easily distinguished from each other and from health; with a fixed prognosis; and with a well-understood aetiology leading to disease-reversing treatments. These are contrasted with psychiatric diagnoses and treatments, which are described as unclear and inadequate in comparison. The Medical Model in Mental Health: An Explanation and Evaluation explores the overlap between the usefulness of diagnostic constructs (which enable prognosis and treatment decisions) and the therapeutic effectiveness of psychiatry compared with general medicine.

Taylor & Francis Ltd PersonCentred Care in Psychiatry
Book SynopsisOne of the paradoxes about psychiatry is that we have never known more about and better treated mental disorders, yet there exists so much unease about the practice of mental healthcare. Patients feel still stigmatized, psychiatrists are struggling with their roles in a rapidly changing system of healthcare, there is lack of consensus about what mental disorders are and what the focus of psychiatry should be. Person-Centred Care in Psychiatry: Self Relational, Contextual and Normative Perspectives offers a distinctive approach to two important linked conceptual issues in psychiatry: the relation between self, context, and psychopathology; and the intrinsic normativity of psychiatry as a practice.Divided in two parts, this book shows how the clinical conception of psychopathology and psychiatry as normative practice are intrinsically connected, and how the normative practice model can be conceived as a natural extension of the analysis of the web of relations thaTrade Review"A product of many years of deliberation, scholarly conversation, and refinement, Glas’ Person-Centered Care in Psychiatry is his vision of a psychiatry which is both scientifically and humanistically rigorous. Optimistic in temperament and outlook, Glas’ work builds a psychiatry that is equally comfortable with molecules, brains, people, relationships, institutions, and societies." - John Z. Sadler, MD, The Daniel W. Foster, M.D. Professor of Medical Ethics, Professor of Psychiatry & Clinical Sciences, UT Southwestern, Dallas, TX"Gerrit Glas is a distinguished and well-known philosophical thinker who is also a practicing clinician. Philosophers working in the mental health research field are rarely equipped to say much of value about practice, and the practitioners who write are not often persuasive on the philosophical background, especially on complex issues to do with normativity, contextual influences and personhood. This makes Glas’s work exceedingly rare and especially welcome." - Jennifer Radden, D.Phil. Oxon., Professor emerita of Philosophy, University of Massachusetts Boston"Gerrit Glas’ synthesis of the Dutch philosopher Herman Dooyeweerd’s work with the more familiar philosophical systems of Sören Kierkegaard and Paul Ricoeur, brings a refreshingly original slant to contemporary debates about the role of science in person-centred psychiatry." - Professor Bill (K.W.M.)

Taylor & Francis Compassion Focused Therapy
Book SynopsisCompassion Focused Therapy: Clinical Practice and Applications offers evidence-based guidance and extensive insight into the science behind compassion focused therapy. The first section of the book explores the evolution and physiological infrastructures of caring, and how compassion arises when humans use their complex cognitive competencies to address suffering deliberately and intentionally. With this framework and basis, the next sections of the book explore CFT applied to groups, specific interventions such as chair work, the importance of applying the principles of the therapy to oneself, the CFT therapeutic relationship, and a chapter offering a systematic review of the evidence for CFT. The third section offers a series of multi-authored chapters on interventions for a range of different mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and many others. Being the first major clinical book on compassion focusedTrade Review'The framework of compassionate relating to self and others is now driving innovative practices with many clinical problems. There is a wealth of theoretical and practical ideas here that cannot fail to inspire clinicians who use or are interested in compassion focused therapy.'Chris Brewin, Emeritus Professor of Clinical Psychology, University College London'This book is an extraordinary achievement, one that anyone interested in a biopsychosocial model, and compassion focused therapy should read. It serves up an incredible array and depth of theory, linked to the latest science, topped up with wonderful helpings of clinical examples of many presentations, each underlining the importance and potential of this approach. This is a book to savour, and return to and is highly recommended'Graham Music, The Tavistock clinic author of Nurturing Natures: Attachment and Children’s Emotional, Sociocultural and Brain Development, Second Edition (Routledge)'This book is a gem, with powerful tools for trauma, shame, depression, and anxiety - and applications for a wide range of settings. The writing is clear and useful, and the science is solid, with frequent flashes of transformational insight. It is a masterwork, a mature and comprehensive summary of what is currently the very best integration of evolutionary neuroscience, clinical effectiveness, and far-reaching kindness.'Rick Hanson, Ph.D., author of Neurodharma: New Science, Ancient Wisdom, and Seven Practices of the Highest Happiness'The extraordinary efflorescence and maturation of Compassion Focused Therapy over the past two decades is brilliantly documented in this comprehensive volume. The initial chapters provide a wide-ranging, deeply illuminating review of the evolution-informed, biopsychosocial model that undergirds CFT, while the subsequent chapters describe the application of CFT to numerous clinical and non-clinical problems. The combination of novel theoretical insights and myriad therapeutic strategies and tactics that are tightly integrated with the theory promises a revolution in the fragmented world of psychotherapy and, more broadly, wellness interventions. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in theory, research, or treatment that addresses human suffering and psychopathology.'David Zuroff, Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Montreal 'This inspiring and authoritative volume establishes Compassion Focused Therapy as one of the major therapeutic advances of the our time. Psychological therapists, of all traditions, from beginner to expert will be enriched by the theoretical and practice insights of this approach. One of the top ten psychotherapy books – a must have.'Professor Peter Fonagy OBE, FMedSci, FBA, FAcSS, University College London'Few books in clinical psychology begin with an understanding of human nature. This exceptional book by Paul Gilbert, Greg Simos and an international group of scholars in the field of compassion focused therapy covers almost every imaginable perspective on the role of compassion and helps us understand the human side of being a human being. Beginning with Paul Gilbert’s extraordinary contribution and understanding of the evolution of compassion, the chapters move on by exploring the science, the application, and the meaning of compassion. It is hard to imagine life without compassion, but sadly many people live such desolate lives. Every clinician should read this book not only for the science but for the humanity it represents.'Robert L. Leahy, Ph.D., Director, American Institute for Cognitive Therapy author of Emotional Schema Therapy'This excellent and comprehensive volume contains a biopsychosocial model, informed by evolutionary theory.

Book SynopsisFeaturing a unique overview of the different forms of extreme violence, this book considers the psychology of extreme violence alongside a variety of contributing factors, such as brain abnormalities in homicide offenders. Featuring several contemporary real-world case studies, this book offers insight into the psychology of serial homicide offenders, mass shooters, school shooters and lone-actor terrorists. The main purpose of this book is not to glorify or condemn the actions of these individuals, but to attempt to explain the motivations and circumstances that inspire such acts of extreme violence. By adopting a detailed case study approach, it aims to increase our understanding of the specific motivations and psychological factors underlying extreme violence. Using nontechnical language, this book is the ideal companion for students, researchers, and forensic practitioners interested in the multidisciplinary nature of extreme violence. This book will Trade Review"The Psychology of Extreme Violence investigates the motivational drivers of those guilty of lone-actor terrorism, school shootings, and serial murder. Through a diverse set of case studies, their mobilisation toward violence is engagingly demonstrated. Collectively, it leaves us with a number of lessons learned for risk assessment and management purposes." —Paul Gill, Professor of Security and Crime Science, University College London, UK"Extreme killers are often analyzed in overly simplistic terms: either they were mentally ill, or they weren't. Fortunately, Allely brings a more nuanced approach by analyzing how neurological factors, mental disorders, psychological tendencies, environmental variables, and more can interact to produce serial killers, terrorists, and mass shooters. In applied case studies, she then demonstrates how the lives of perpetrators spiral out of control—before they take the lives of others."— Adam Lankford, University of Alabama, USATable of ContentsChapter 1: IntroductionChapter 2: The Anatomy of Extreme Violence Chapter 3: Serial Homicide Chapter 4: Mass ShootersChapter 5.

Taylor & Francis The Aesthetics of SelfHarm
Book SynopsisThe Aesthetics of Self-Harm presents a new approach to understanding parasuicidal behaviour, based upon an examination of online communities that promote performances of self-harm in the pursuit of an idealised beauty. The book considers how online communities provide a significant level of support for self-harmers and focuses on relevant case studies to establish a new model for the comprehension of the online supportive community. To do so, Alderton explores discussions of self-harm and disordered eating on social networks. She examines aesthetic trends that contextualise harmful behavior and help people to perform feelings of sadness and vulnerability online. Alderton argues that the traditional understanding of self-violence through medical discourse is important, but that it misses vital elements of human group activity and the motivating forces of visual imagery.

Taylor & Francis Writing the Self in Bereavement A Story of Love
Book SynopsisWinner, ICQI 2022 Outstanding Qualitative Book AwardIn Writing the Self in Bereavement: A Story of Love, Spousal Loss, and Resilience, Reinekke Lengelle uses her abilities as a researcher, poet, and professor of therapeutic writing to tell a heartfelt and fearless story about her grief after the death of her spouse and the year and a half following his diagnosis, illness, and passing. This book powerfully demonstrates that writing can be a companion in bereavement. It uses and explains the latest research on coming to terms with spousal loss without being prescriptive. Integrated with this contemporary research are stories, poetry, and reflections on writing as a therapeutic process. The author unflinchingly explores a number of themes that are underrepresented in existing resources: how one deals with anger associated with loss, what a healthy response might be to unfinished business with the deceased, continuing conversations with the beloved (even for agnostics and atheists), ongoing sexual desire, and secondary losses. As a rare book where an author successfully combines a personal story, heart-rending poetry, up-to-date research on grief, and an evocative exploration of taboo topics in the context of widowhood, Writing the Self in Bereavement is uniquely valuable for those grieving a spouse or other loved one, those supporting others in bereavement, and those interested in the healing power of poetry and life writing. Researchers on death and dying, grief counsellors, and autoethnographers will also benefit from reading this resonant resource on love and loss.Trade Review"As human beings, we seek a life story we can make sense of, and that can make sense of us. In this autoethnography of loss, as lucid as it is captivating, Reinekke Lengelle not only reveals but also reflects candidly on her grief over her partner's death, and her reconstruction of their relationship in its wake. More than a mirror of her bereaved soul, her writing is also a magnifying lens that artfully brings into sharper definition the human drama of love and loss, and the power of poetry and prose to foster its transformation."—Robert A. Neimeyer, PhD, Editor of Death Studies and Techniques of Grief Therapy"In this highly original autoethnographic work, Reinekke Lengelle writes not only about her deceased love but continues to dialogue with him. As a "vulnerable researcher" she explores the depths of her own mind where her lost lover is recreated as a living figure in a poetic composition where truth and beauty meet." —Professor Emeritus Dr. Hubert Hermans, creator of Dialogical Self Theory"Diving into death is both call and response to words and to witness. This book, with its crystal-clarity, bids readers to lean in, to listen. To accept the call to be unafraid. To stand in direct gaze with the tepid, terrifying, and tumultuous days of living with loss, longing, and love's relentless, vivid invitation to survive. And to thrive." —Margot Van Sluytman, Poet, BA, MA, Executive Director, Theodore's Place Healing Home for Crime Survivors"Reinekke Lengelle writes: "I hope in writing this grief journey, awakenings are inspired that ripple out and offer comfort to others". This was certainly true for me. This book is not only for those bereaved by death, but also for those, like me, who are bereaved of parts of a wider relationship as age or illness takes its toll. An honest and powerful story of a journey towards the end of a life and relationship." —Kim Etherington, Professor Emerita of Narrative and Life Story Research, University of Bristol, UK. Author of ‘Becoming a reflexive researcher: using ourselves in research’; ‘Narrative approaches to working with adult male survivors of childhood sexual abuse’ ; ‘Trauma, the body and transformation’ and other work. "Part tribute, part love story, part memoir, part investigation into our most nascent drive to confront death on its own terms, Reinekke Lengelle’s Writing the Self in Bereavement: A story of love, spousal loss and resilience is an unflinching account of her husband’s determination to die as he lived, with humor and dignity. A frank and moving portrait of one woman’s journey through grief and through the power of personal writing that is both poetic and therapeutic, Lengelle’s narrative includes the turbulent, sometimes angry, sometimes affectionate emotions tied to grief. This book will appeal to scholars and to laypeople alike; but moreover, it will appeal to any reader who has experienced the death of a loved one, which, one way or another, touches all of us." —Judith Harris Ph.D, Author of Signifying Pain: Constructing the Self Through Writing and books of poetry: Atonement, The Bad Secret, and Night Garden. Her poems have appeared in The Atlantic, New Republic, Nation, Slate and the New York Times blog"Reinekke’s brave honest enquiry will support and inspire the bereaved, those who anticipate loss, and those who work with them. She tells herself ‘don’t miss it. Use all that fate gives you to to deepen your connection with yourself and life.’ She demonstrates and illustrates how fate cracked, chipped or even seem to break her, but writing illuminated and healed with a seam of gold." —Dr Gillie Bolton, author of The Writer’s Key: Creative Solutions for Life"Writing the self in bereavement is a deeply useful book: helpful in its honesty, its companionship for those who are bereaved, and leads by being inspirational in the field of grief-writing. It is also a story of real love, to which many people will relate. It is rhythmic, accessible, theoretically and socially aware, and sensitive to the risks of representing life as it is experienced. We all have something to learn from Reinekke Lengelle’s work." —Claire Williamson, Author of Visiting the Minotaur, and Programme Leader for Master of Science in Creative writing for Therapeutic Purposes, UK"In this remarkable description of the first year of widowhood, Reinekke Lengelle displays courage and vulnerability as she uses expressive writing to process her grief. She locates her own experience in the academic literature on bereavement and early on identifies resilience as a key factor in her being able to continue to ‘live forward’ whilst acknowledging the enormity of her loss.The early part of the book includes verbatim journal entries, personal poems, dialogues between her and her late husband, and an examination of unfinished business between them. There are unflinching and moving accounts of the pain of grief, the process of watching a loved one die, sexual desire in bereavement and the delicacy of a developing new relationship. Later, there is a sense of gaining new perspectives and a need to look more questioningly at sensitive issues and the gains as well as challenges that come with loss. She draws on her own academic work on the Dialogical Self to theorise how writing accompanied and strengthened her resilience during these challenges in a year of profound changes.Her determination to keep writing through her grief, as well as fulfilling the demands of work, family life and a wide network of friends, provides the reader with the gift of witnessing the power of expressive writing in action. Her perspective as a theorist and teacher of writing for healing creates a reflective and reflexive space where the raw data of her journal entries and poems are held up to the light and interrogated for meaning. She also includes many allusions to her correspondence with other writers on grief, including autoethnographer, Carolyn Ellis with whom she shares a parallel story. In later chapters, she discusses what it means to put sensitive material into the public domain, and the process of deciding what is appropriate to share and what is rightly personal.Expressive writing can facilitate much-needed sense-making during grief and mourning. In Western culture where mourning is often secular and individual, personal writing can provide solace, wisdom and resolution as Reinekke demonstrates. This book will be a useful road-map for those interested in using these techniques personally or facilitating their use with others. Writing the Self in Bereavement is Reinekke’s homage to her late husband and their relationship, two academics who were work partners as well as spouses. She shares how he respected her poetic soul but also urged her to write an academic book. Reinekke ‘channels’ the voice of Frans in her writing and his presence permeates this brave and unusual book. It is a true testimony to their time together." —Victoria Field, Writer, Researcher and Poetry Therapist"As human beings, we seek a life story we can make sense of, and that can make sense of us. In this autoethnography of loss, as lucid as it is captivating, Reinekke Lengelle not only reveals but also reflects candidly on her grief over her partner's death, and her reconstruction of their relationship in its wake. More than a mirror of her bereaved soul, her writing is also a magnifying lens that artfully brings into sharper definition the human drama of love and loss, and the power of poetry and prose to foster its transformation." —Robert A. Neimeyer, PhD, Editor of Death Studies and Techniques of Grief Therapy"In this highly original autoethnographic work, Reinekke Lengelle writes not only about her deceased love but continues to dialogue with him. As a 'vulnerable researcher' she explores the depths of her own mind where her lost lover is recreated as a living figure in a poetic composition where truth and beauty meet." —Professor Emeritus Dr. Hubert Hermans, creator of Dialogical Self Theory"Diving into death is both call and response to words and to witness. This book, with its crystal-clarity, bids readers to lean in, to listen. To accept the call to be unafraid. To stand in direct gaze with the tepid, terrifying, and tumultuous days of living with loss, longing, and love's relentless, vivid invitation to survive. And to thrive." —Margot Van Sluytman, Poet, BA, MA, Executive Director, Theodore's Place Healing Home for Crime Survivors"Reinekke Lengelle writes: 'I hope in writing this grief journey, awakenings are inspired that ripple out and offer comfort to others.' This was certainly true for me. This book is not only for those bereaved by death, but also for those, like me, who are bereaved of parts of a wider relationship as age or illness takes its toll. An honest and powerful story of a journey towards the end of a life and relationship." —Kim Etherington, Professor Emerita of Narrative and Life Story Research, University of Bristol, UK. Author of Becoming a Reflexive Researcher: Using Ourselves in Research; Narrative Approaches to Working with Adult Male Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse; Trauma, the Body and Transformation and other work. "Part tribute, part love story, part memoir, part investigation into our most nascent drive to confront death on its own terms, Reinekke Lengelle’s Writing the Self in Bereavement: A Story of Love, Spousal Loss and Resilience is an unflinching account of her husband’s determination to die as he lived, with humor and dignity. A frank and moving portrait of one woman’s journey through grief and through the power of personal writing that is both poetic and therapeutic, Lengelle’s narrative includes the turbulent, sometimes angry, sometimes affectionate emotions tied to grief. This book will appeal to scholars and to laypeople alike; but moreover, it will appeal to any reader who has experienced the death of a loved one, which, one way or another, touches all of us." —Judith Harris PhD, Author of Signifying Pain: Constructing the Self Through Writing and books of poetry: Atonement, The Bad Secret, and Night Garden. Her poems have appeared in The Atlantic, New Republic, Nation, Slate and the New York Times blog"Reinekke’s brave honest enquiry will support and inspire the bereaved, those who anticipate loss, and those who work with them. She tells herself ‘don’t miss it. Use all that fate gives you to to deepen your connection with yourself and life.’ She demonstrates and illustrates how fate cracked, chipped, or even seemed to break her, but writing illuminated and healed with a seam of gold." —Dr Gillie Bolton, author of The Writer’s Key: Creative Solutions for Life"Writing the Self in Bereavement is a deeply useful book: helpful in its honesty, its companionship for those who are bereaved, and leads by being inspirational in the field of grief-writing. It is also a story of real love, to which many people will relate. It is rhythmic, accessible, theoretically, and socially aware, and sensitive to the risks of representing life as it is experienced. We all have something to learn from Reinekke Lengelle’s work." —Claire Williamson, author of Visiting the Minotaur, and Programme Leader for Master of Science in Creative writing for Therapeutic Purposes, UK"In this remarkable description of the first year of widowhood, Reinekke Lengelle displays courage and vulnerability as she uses expressive writing to process her grief. She locates her own experience in the academic literature on bereavement and early on identifies resilience as a key factor in her being able to continue to ‘live forward’ whilst acknowledging the enormity of her loss.The early part of the book includes verbatim journal entries, personal poems, dialogues between her and her late husband, and an examination of unfinished business between them. There are unflinching and moving accounts of the pain of grief, the process of watching a loved one die, sexual desire in bereavement, and the delicacy of a developing new relationship. Later, there is a sense of gaining new perspectives and a need to look more questioningly at sensitive issues and the gains as well as challenges that come with loss. She draws on her own academic work on the Dialogical Self to theorise how writing accompanied and strengthened her resilience during these challenges in a year of profound changes.Her determination to keep writing through her grief, as well as fulfilling the demands of work, family life and a wide network of friends, provides the reader with the gift of witnessing the power of expressive writing in action.

It is a true testimony to their time together." —Victoria Field, writer, researcher, and poetry therapistWriting the Self in Bereavement is a courageous story, filling a glaring gap in the literature on widowhood and grief. It offers a tender, brutally honest, and sometimes humorous inside look at the thoughts, emotions, and identity re-formation of a couple knowing that their finite time together was very quickly slipping away and of a widow, deeply and fully grieving that incomprehensible loss... It is robust enough to serve as a textbook but tender enough to gift to a friend or family member seeking solace in the midst of inexplicable grief. -- Roberta Borgen (Neault), Life Strategies Ltd. and University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada"I highly recommend this book, whether to scholars, to practitioners of therapeutic arts, to instructors as a tertiary textbook, or to the bereaved and those supporting others in grief. One of the things that struck me most about Writing the Self in Bereavement is Lengelle’s unflinching honesty—it has inspired me and stayed with me long after I put down the book." --Katrin Den Elzen, PhD, Curtin University, Perth, AustraliaTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Psychosis Risk and Experience of the Self
Book SynopsisMøller sheds light on the inner aspects of psychosis and psychosis risk, and its core experiential phenomena as a method of understanding the individual early psychosis development.The book details how such experiences might take shape in the human mind and how a better understanding achieved through detailed clinical conversations can lead to earlier detection and improved interventions. Møller also outlines the subjectivity model (also called Ipseity Disturbance Model) and presents a broad review of different treatment approaches and settings, in which work with disturbed self-experience could be integrated, including psychotherapy, in-patient milieu therapy, supportive treatments, psychoeducational family work, local networking, and medication.Psychosis Risk and Experience of the Self will prove essential for experienced and specialised clinicians as well as the more generally interested reader. Trade Review"This marvellous book shows us that going 'back to basics' (the central role in psychiatry of conversation and close listening) can point the way forward for developing a more satisfactory understanding of psychosis and what to address in treatment. The content and writing style will appeal to a broad audience- clinicians, researchers and interested general readers alike. This book is highly recommended"Professor Barnaby Nelson, Head Ultra High Risk for Psychosis Program, Orygen, The University of Melbourne, Australia."This is an amazing cartography of the multiple shades and experiential layers that lie at the core of emerging psychosis, as well as an inspiring map for all those genuinely interested in the psychotherapy of schizophrenia. Over and above the in-depth clinical insights, Paul Møller offers something even more unique and rare in the contemporary literature landscape: a meditated distillate of clinical experience, inter-human curiosity and therapeutic touch"Professor Andrea Raballo, MD, PHD Professor of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Department of Biomedicine, University of Italian Switzerland. Lugano, Italy.Paul Møller's Psychosis Risk and Experience of the Self: Understanding the Individual Development of Psychosis as a Basic Self-disturbance is the first comprehensive yet humble and sensitive-to-nuances guide to the fascinating clinical and research landscape of the so-called 'subjectivity (and inter-subjectivity) model' of emerging psychosis. Because of its unique blend of scientific rigor together with rich and compassionate clinical insights, it will appeal to a broad audience of clinicians, researchers, and interested laypeople. I certainly plan to recommend it as a must-read to students, colleagues, and loving family members and friends of worry-provoking youth"Professor Danny Koren, Clinical-Science Program, School of Psychological Sciences, University of Haifa, and ZOHAR Clinic, Rambam Medical Center, Haifa Israel."Paul Møller offers here a superb synthesis of clinical acumen with theoretical precision. He lights a path for those seeking both to treat and to understand schizophrenia and related conditions—especially for those who recognize that treatment necessarily relies on understanding. This fine book also serves as a clear and exciting introduction to the phenomenological approach to grasping the lived-world of mental disorders".

Taylor & Francis Juvenile Justice
Book SynopsisJuvenile Justice: An Introduction, Tenth Edition, presents a comprehensive picture of juvenile offending, delinquency theories, and the ways juvenile justice actors and agencies react to delinquency. Whitehead and Lab offer evidence-based suggestions for successful interventions and treatment and examine the prospects for rebalancing the model of juvenile court. This new edition includes insightful analysis and the latest available statistics on juvenile crime and victimization, drug use, court processing, and corrections. Special attention is given to female involvement, disproportionate minority contact, and diversity issues. The text also includes extensive discussion of police shootings, the issue of race, probation reform, life sentences for juveniles, recent Supreme Court decisions, and reform suggestions from Currie and Feld. An essential text for undergraduate juvenile justice courses, this book offers rich pedagogicaTrade Review"Juvenile Justice: An Introduction gives a comprehensive review of the juvenile justice system, covering the extent of juvenile delinquency, the history of juvenile justice, theories explaining juvenile delinquent behaviors, topical issues such as juvenile gang involvement, juvenile drug use, and juveniles and the police. The juvenile justice process and the system’s response to juvenile delinquency are clearly outlined. I also appreciate how the authors interweave the juvenile justice landmark cases into the discussion. The book also discusses restorative justice as an alternative approach to dealing with juvenile delinquency.Another positive for me is the in-depth coverage of the theories explaining delinquency. While students in this course (usually sophomore or junior) would have already taken their theory course (Criminology) in their second semester, many do not recall even hearing about these theories. This gives me a chance to present this to them a second time."Sherill Morris-Francis, Ph.D., Associate Professor and Graduate Coordinator, Mississippi Valley State UniversityTable of Contents1.

Basic Books Supportive Therapy A Psychodynamic Approach
Book SynopsisThe main goal of the therapy described here is to improve ego functions and adaptations rather than to explore unconscious conflicts. Thus, the emphasis is on strengthening reality testing, discouraging impulsivity, and clarifying confused thinking, while minimizing the regression and negative transference characteristic of exploratory therapy. In chapters richly illustrated with clinical material, the author details the strategies and rationales of this practice, covering such topics as transference and countertransference, resistance, working through, and the relationship between supportive therapy and psychopharmacology. Clinically sophisticated yet immensely practical, this valuable resource will enhance the skill and understanding of every therapist-student, clinician, or teacher-who practices supportive psychotherapy.

Sage Publications, Inc. Anxiety and Depression in Adults and Children
Book SynopsisWhilst I see this book of particular use to anyone doing research into the subject of anxiety and depression in adults and children, it will be a useful resource for a variety of people in the caring professions including counsellors and psychotherapists. --Donald Calder in Counselling This is a collection of papers by well-respected researchers in this growing field. It is a book for the specialist rather than the jobbing child psychiatrist or psychologist but a useful reference text nevertheless. --Alison Wood in ACCP Child Psychology & Psychiatry Review This book certainly does bring together disparate areas of research and integrates them in an informative and interesting way. It will be particularly valuable for clinicians interested in child and adolescent depressive and anxiety disorders, since it includes a lot of material from work with adults that is often hard for such clinicians to assess. A very useful addition to the library. --H. C. Steinhausen in European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Written by the foremost theorists and practitioners in the field, this cohesive study focuses on recent advances in treating anxiety and depression in adults and children. A range of topics are covered including self-management therapy, assessing and treating sexually abused children, and unipolar depression. Published in the Banff International Behavioral Science Series, this volume integrates empirical research with clinical applications. Case examples and exercises are used throughout to illustrate important clinical concepts. Among the other topics covered are emotional processing in anxiety disorders, psychotherapies for depression, cognition in depression and anxiety, and phobic disorders in children. Practitioners, advanced students, and researchers in clinical and counseling psychology, developmental psychology, social work, interpersonal violence, and psychiatric nursing will find this an excellent resource.

It offers an overview of a number of theories that address human distress as well as particular forms of "pathology". This book effectively highlights the way that western society has taken "normal"; and "abnormal" emotional states to be factual entities rather than the constructed understandings of human phenomena that they are.... should be on the reading list of every course/module that attends to human distress′ - Journal of the Society for Existential Analysis `I find this one of the most reasonable and persuasive analyses of this complex and fraught area. The final chapter includes a list of 28 journals and organizations considered to have a more enlightened view of mental health issues. There are also many valuable references′ - British Journal of Medical Psychology `The role of power relations and how these relations are reflected in our language and practices cannot be ignored... I find this book provocative as well as readable... the discursive method surely leads to reflections that I would not like to be without as a researcher and clinician... Given the increasing use of diagnoses in mental health care and the biological language often used in psychiatry, I consider this book an important contribution to our understanding of psychopathology′ - Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy `This is an extremely timely book, essential reading for all those disturbed by the surreptitious colonisation of the human potential field by anti-humanistic philosophies and practices. Drawing upon Foucault, the book "deconstructs" the language and institutions that hold the notion of "psychopathology" in place, subjecting it to an unrelenting philosophical critique and proposing alternative, philosophically sustainable and more democratic and human(e) ways of conceptualizing emotional and "mental" suffering... this book lays bare the fundamental ideological basis of the psychopathologising mentality. If you are open to questioning at root the philosophical assumptions underlying, and often unconsciously "constructing", your own therapeutic practice, then you will surely find Deconstructing Psychopathology one of the most important books to appear in years. I unreservedly recommend it′ - Self & Society `Although there has been a good deal of critical writing on various aspects of "psychopathology" in the last few years, this is the first book which attempts a general deconstruction of the area. The authors therefore faced a formidable task not only in setting out the complex theoretical frameworks necessary for this task, but also in covering a wide enough area to show their general applicability and relevance... the authors have put a prodigious amount of information and ideas [into this book]... The main premises are that, far from discovering and cataloguing mental disorders which exist "out there"... psychologists and psychiatrists construct psychopathology using a language surrounded by assumptions and values which are rarely made explicit or subjected to critical scrutiny... Throughout, the authors emphasize the interdependence of language, knowledge and power, and the importance of focusing on the professionals themselves as well as on those who are the usual subjects of our theories and practices. Given the scope of the task and the relative brevity of the book, the authors succeed very well indeed in conveying both the scale of the problem and the importance of an analysis in which language is central. One of the strengths of this book is the wealth of material and analysis contained in each chapter... this book is to be highly recommended. It is, above all, thought-provoking. It challenges professionals to abandon the idea that they are neutrally "doing science" and urges them to be as willing to make themselves objects of study as they are their clients. It is not a comfortable book to read: it is not, after all, flattering to be asked to see oneself as part of the problem and not as part of the solution. The book... emphasizes the urgent need for debate about some of the questions′ - Behaviour Research and Therapy `The impassioned intentions of the five authors have led them to write this text, which demonstrates a benign concern for those who are construed as having "psychopathology"... I welcomed the list of user-friendly groups and I loved the material on the Hearing Voices Network′ - Medical Sociology News `An excellent introduction to the relevance of the works of Derrida and Foucault to the field of psychopathology. In addition, there are thumbnail sketches of Laingian antipsychiatry, noting the real although neglected place of David Cooper. Equally helpful are the pieces on cognitive therapies and on family therapies. The Hearing Voices movement founded by Marius Romme is so rightly extolled... this book has almost taught this old dog some new tricks and I strongly recommend it to others... the seriousness is admirable and the erudition striking... an excellent contribution′ - History and Philosophy of Psychology Newsletter `For those working in mental health services who are not used to an approach based loosely on Foucault and Derrida this is undoubtedly a good starting point. My guess is that it would unnerve any reader with a naive realist perspective on "mental illness" in a thought-provoking way... The book provides a welcomed critical reading of psychiatric diagnosis and diagnoses, and offers the uninitiated reader a canter through the resources (research and practical projects) which have provided a set of alternatives or oppositions to orthodoxy in the mental health industry. Chapters... carry out this summary well and... are reason enough to encourage all those interested in the current politics of mental health to have the book on their shelves... it is genuinely politically concerned about people with mental health problems′ - Disability & Society `These essays are well-researched, professional articles.

Essential reading for all members of the mental health team.Trade Review'The 3rd edition of this authoritative book is remarkably up-to-date and reflects well the current state of play in both the neuroscience and clinical approaches at the interface between mental health and cannabis. The updated textbook covers the essentials of cannabis and health and, most importantly, policy in an integrated and impressively comprehensive manner. Each chapter includes both important recent publications as well as seminal papers, particularly important given the evolution of information on cannabis and contemporary considerations for public health.
