Scribe Publications The Power of Discord: why the ups and downs of
Book SynopsisHow can we create more meaningful and intimate connections with our loved-ones? By using moments of discord to strengthen our relationships, explains this original, deeply researched book. You might think that perfect harmony is the defining characteristic of a good relationship, but the truth is that human interactions are messy, complicated, and confusing. The good news, however, is that we are wired to deal with this from birth — and even to grow from it and use it to strengthen our relationships, according to renowned psychologist Ed Tronick and paediatrician Claudia Gold. Scientific research — including Dr Tronick’s famous ‘Still-Face Experiment’ — has shown that working through mismatch and repair in everyday life helps us form deep, lasting, trusting relationships; resilience in times of stress and trauma; and a solid sense of self in the world. This refreshing and original look at our ability to relate to others and to ourselves offers a new way for us to think about our relationships, and will reassure you that conflict is both normal and healthy, building the foundation for stronger connections. Trade Review‘This profoundly wise book sets out how the dance of connection and disconnection with attachment figures molds our nervous system, our emotional lives, our sense of self, and our ability to dance in tune with others. When we miss each other is when we truly learn to turn, reach, and connect. There are no slick tips for perfect relationships with your kids or lovers here. Just a deep understanding of how the imperfections of life and love can make us strong.’ -- Sue Johnson, author of Hold Me Tight‘In this fabulous book, which everyone must own, Ed Tronick and Claudia Gold give all of us a scientifically-based compass for negotiating the messiness of social interaction. Rather than searching for perfection, in this book they teach us that it is the messiness and the mistakes we inevitably make as parents, friends, and lovers, and the repair of our mistakes that really matters. For in repair we ‘co-create a new meaning,’ and relationships thrive and proceed, full of life and good enough. Get this book!’ -- John Gottman, author of Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work‘Lively and riveting — Human connections have the power to heal by engaging us in a new set of moment-to-moment mismatches ... as long as we are open to repair and reconnect.’ -- Dr Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score‘A brilliant overview of our contemporary relational landscape that argues that what people — both children and adults — need most is the messiness of real relationships, with their conflicts, partial resolutions, and imperfect efforts at repair. In trying to make these things work, we practice attention, connection, and listening. We practice our humanity. We learn to put technology in its place. A book for thinking and for practical action. A must-read.’ -- Sherry Turkle, author of Alone Together: why we expect more from technology‘Our relationships with attachment figures are often innately ‘messy’ and filled with discord as mismatches rupture the attuned, resonant alignments that are possible in our relational world. The reconnection established in the mismatch-repair process illuminated in this important work enables us to develop resilience in the face of the inevitable disconnections in these important self-defining close connections in our lives. This wise book will help many to reframe such ruptures as opportunities rather than troublesome burdens, painful yet important challenges that can actually afford us the interactive reconnection experiences that serve as the foundation for flourishing in life.’ -- Dr Daniel J. Siegel, author of Mindsight, and clinical professor at UCLA School of Medicine‘The Power of Discord reveals the secrets to forming deep, lasting, trusting relationships; developing resilience in times of stress and trauma; and nourishing a solid sense of yourself in the world. The book, which naturally begins with the parent-child relationship, offers the key to unlocking better connections with romantic partners, family, friends and colleagues alike.’ -- Hannah Van Sickle * The Berkshire Edge *

PCCS Books Stop F*cking Nodding: And other things 16 year
Book SynopsisThis book is for anyone who knows, loves, is baffled by, or wants to help someone who is, has been, or is going to be 16. Sixteen is where anything can happen and often does; the eye of the storm of adolescence, filled with demands, challenges, turbulence and passion. This book is written for psychotherapists, but also for parents, teachers and anyone who has an interest in how the teenage mind works. Jeanine Connor draws on her 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist specialising in children and young people to paint vivid vignettes of some of the 16-year-olds she has worked with. These nine stories capture and explore the key themes and challenges in this demanding and rewarding work: sex, gender, identity, body image, self-esteem, depression, loneliness, difference, loss and despair. But also the humour, quirkiness and mercurial charm of her young clients, brought to life through frank dialogue, deft description and quick-fire repartee. And if any reader thinks they recognise themselves in any of the characters portrayed, then the book’s work is done. Anonymised they may be, but these stories will illuminate your understanding of the lives of 16-year-olds today, and maybe your own 16-year-old self as well.Trade Review‘…a gift to therapists, and indeed anyone who works with teenagers, or who parents them, or has one in their life.’ Graham Music, Consultant Psychotherapist, Tavistock Centre – ‘… engaging, honest and courageous… an essential read for those training to work therapeutically with young people but also for practitioners wanting to explore the meaning of authenticity, keeping it real and generally being kind to yourself in those moments of self-doubt.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Gewusst wie, gewusst warum: Die Logik
Book SynopsisDer sehr erfolgreiche kompakte Band »Systemische Interventionen« der beiden Autoren wird in ihrem neuen Buch ergänzt durch die erkenntnistheoretischen Basics, ohne die systemisches Arbeiten in allen Beratungskontexten im luftleeren Raum bleibt. Es geht um die selbstverständliche Konsequenz einer systemischen Sicht auf die Welt. Interventionen, die als systemisch bekannt und beliebt geworden sind, lassen sich auf einige wesentliche Gedanken zurückführen: Das Interesse richtet sich nicht mehr darauf, Fakten herauszufinden, es wird also nicht nach etwas gesucht, das es gibt, sondern eher nach dem, was sich zwischen Menschen ereignet. Daraus entsteht wie von selbst eine Praxis, die nicht versucht, Defizite zu finden oder eine Ursache, eine Diagnose, eine Störung festzuschreiben. Systemische Praxis sucht danach, wie ein Phänomen, ein Problem von unterschiedlichen Menschen unterschiedlich beschrieben wird. Sie will Beziehungsverhältnisse ergründen und Reflexionen anregen. Sie zielt auf die Muster flüchtiger Kommunikationen, die sich in den vielen, ständig neu erzeugten zwischenmenschlichen und psychischen Wirklichkeiten menschlichen Lebens beobachten lassen. Es geht weniger um den richtigen Einsatz von Techniken oder Tools als vielmehr um eine systemische Sicht auf die Welt.

Information Age Publishing Home in Transition: The Cultural Construction of
Book SynopsisThis book presents an integrative perspective on home or Heimat showing that it is much more than the place we were born or where we live. This book brings fresh theoretical and empirical perspectives on what home is and can be from different viewpoints.The chapters invite the reader to face challenging questions of what we learn about Heimat, when it is taken from us, threatened, left on purpose or when we set out on the journey to find one. The chapters are written by psychologists throughout, but are expanded in perspective by comments from the groups of people featured in the chapters, who are thus given their own voice. The book ends with a suggestion how all the different perspectives can be unified in the framework of general model of cultural psychology."All in all—the reader of this volume gains an access to the most intricate phenomenon of human ways of being—that of home. Impossible to define in terms of the scientific lore of psychology, intuitively understandable in everyday life, and basis for deep desires if the feeling of home is lost."This book will be rewarding reading for professionals and students from cultural psychology, cultural and psychological anthropology, sociology, and related disciplines, asking the question of what home is and how individuals can be supported in finding it.
