Book SynopsisThe counselling and psychotherapy professions have experienced a rapid growth and expansion throughout Europe, and internationally. State regulation of these professional practices has required personal development hours for those in training, continuing professional development for all qualified practitioners as well as supervision of their practice.Interacting Selves provides concepts and principles of personal and professional development (PPD) in training and supervision as part of an approach to lifelong learning for all those involved in psychotherapeutic work. Leading European trainers and practitioners draw on their shared background in systemic therapy to articulate a strong theoretical base for PPD. The volume functions not simply as a coherent description of the philosophy and rationale underlying PPD but also as a practice workbook whose chapters contain an array of elegantly crafted exercises, portable across the broad range of disciplines that give life to the social care and mental health fields at the same time as meeting the PPD needs of counsellors and psychotherapists of different theoretical persuasions.The approaches work through constant attention to PPD as an interpersonal process where thoughts, ideas and emotions need to be nurtured. PPD can involve working at the extremes, and the book provides a secure basis for confronting abuse and violence head on. Each chapter shows how personal and professional development promotes a focus on emotional competence, positive emotion, resilience and ethical practice. Interacting Selves introduces and develops the concepts and principles of personal and professional development (PPD) in training and supervision as part of an approach to lifelong learning for all psychotherapists undergoing or providing PPD. This pioneering book will appeal to psychotherapy trainees, trainers, practitioners and supervisors in the mental health field and social care professionals.Trade ReviewThe central premise of the book is that continuing professional development (PDD) is about learning.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Jay Haley Revisited
Book SynopsisJay Haley Revisited brings together influential professionals in psychotherapy and counseling to introduce, analyze, and put into context 20 of the most interesting and significant papers Jay Haley produced, both published and unpublished. Jay Haley was one of the most influential thinkers in psychotherapy who revolutionized the field through his writings, teachings, research, and supervision for more than half a century. The seminal classic papers found in this volume capture the wit, humor, and the ability to look at a field and offer critique that leads to constructive change. This book will delight readers who, in one volume, can trace the birth and development of the field of family therapy, and the revolution from traditional ideas to modern therapy approaches, in the voice of one of the fieldâs most gifted teachers.Trade Review"In 1973 in his book Uncommon Therapy Jay Haley introduced Milton Erickson to the world. It was not long after that Jay Haley himself was acknowledged an uncommon therapist. A leader in family therapy and strategic interventions, psychotherapy would not be where it is today without his bold innovations and his audacious personality. His astounding legacy is extensively and engagingly portrayed in this volume by those who knew him best." - Nicholas A. Cummings, PhD, ScD, Former President, American Psychological Association; Distinguished Professor, University of Nevada, Reno; President, Cummings Foundation for Behavioral Health"Rereading Jay Haley years later has rekindled my sense of admiration and pleasure. The fact that each of the 20 articles is introduced by a scholarly clinician adds to the experience, highlighting the pointed wit, the elegance of the writing, and the wisdom of the master. Read, enjoy, and think anew." - Salvador Minuchin, MD, Former Director, Philadelphia Child Guidance Clinic"The works and words of Jay Haley are worth visiting again and again; how exciting and powerful to have his most significant papers in our own hands." - Pat Love, EdD, author, The Truth About Love"Jay Haley has always been one of my heroes. Our great loss with his death is now softened by this amazing publication of his papers. The master speaks to us again and his profundity is gracefully accompanied by prominent guides who have organized this valuable material. I can’t wait to use this book in my own teaching." - John Gottman, PhD, co-founder, The Gottman Institute"This is an interesting and enjoyable text for therapists who want to understand better the history of the golden age of family therapy and for those who enjoy a nostalgic walk through the evolution of our own consciousness and development and therapists. The writing is both strong and pleasurable. I strongly recommend this book to those in my cohort who were around during the heyday of family therapy in the 1970s." - Jerrold Lee Shapiro in PsycCRITIQUES, October 2010, Vol. 55"I was pleased to see that each paper is introduced by a different colleague from the related fields of psychology, psychiatry, social psychology, marital and family therapy or counselling academics/teachers/lecturers. These introductions are really useful and insightful. It would be really useful for trainee family therapists, especially those interested in experimental techniques and Haley's unconventional approach." - Bella Hewes, MBACP, in The Independent PractitionerTable of ContentsRicheport-Haley, Carlson, Jay Haley: An Introduction.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Child Anxiety Disorders
Book SynopsisChildhood anxiety disorders represent one of the most common psychological disorders found among the general population. They can be serious, distressful, and functionally impairing, so much so that there has been an explosion of interest in their treatment, primarily from pharmacological and cognitive-behavioral perspectives.Addressing these perspectives is the Second Edition of Child Anxiety Disorders. Beidel and Alfano pay close attention to new pharmacological and psychological interventions as well as multi-center trials that compare single and combined treatment modalities. Additionally, they include new case studies, sections on stability of childhood fears and the longitudinal course of anxiety disorders, and a new chapter on sleep and anxiety disorders. Written on the cusp of newly published information and studies, Child Anxiety Disorders is relevant, informative, and indispensible.Trade Review“Deborah Beidel and Candice Alfano have provided an important touchstone work regarding a prevalent and often severe problem among youths, the anxiety disorders. The authors provide wonderful case examples and clearly detail aspects of diagnosis, epidemiology, comorbidity, etiology, assessment, treatment, and much more in this state-of-the-art text. Indeed, the book is a ‘must-have’ for mental health and school-based professionals who work with children or adolescents.” - Christopher A. Kearney, PhD, Professor of Psychology and Director of Clinical Training, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA“For those who fret about the challenges of ‘keeping up with the literature,’ this second edition is the answer. All that one needs to know about each of the anxiety disorders of childhood is masterfully and comprehensively covered, with plenty of case examples, along with a wonderful synthesis of the latest breakthroughs in theory and research.” - Wendy K.

Taylor & Francis The First Year and the Rest of Your Life
Book SynopsisThe movement repertoire that develops in the first year of life is a language in itself and conveys desires, intentions, and emotions. This early life in motion serves as the roots of ongoing nonverbal interaction and later verbal expression â in short, this language remains a key element in communication throughout life.In their path-breaking book, gestalt therapist Ruella Frank and psychoanalyst Frances La Barre give readers the tools to see and understand the logic of this nonverbal realm. They demonstrate how observations of fundamental movement interactions between babies and parents cue us to coconstructed experiences that underlie psychological development. Numerous clinical vignettes and detailed case studies show how movement observation opens the door to understanding problems that develop in infancy and also those that appear in the continuing nonverbal dimension of adult communication.Their user-friendly nonverbal lexicon â foundational movement analysis â Trade Review"The in-depth method of study offered by Ruella Frank and Frances La Barre, foundational movement analysis, is of great value to psychotherapists who focus on interaction and contact, and affords a sharp tool to ground process work in a field perspective. Going beyond the empirical understanding of nonverbal expression, the authors show how body movements point out the unformulated and prereflexive areas of experience. They also demonstrate how feelings, to which psychotherapists are so sensitive, are a 'later-developing aspect of the experience of physical and kinetic elements of interaction,' without falling into the trap of a linear cause-and-effect way of thinking. Clear, brilliant, and illustrated with clinical examples, this book is a worthy addition to the library not only of psychotherapists, but also parents and caretakers." - Jean-Marie Robine, Founder and Training Supervisor, Institut Français de Gestalt-thérapie"This fascinating and undeniably important book will do nothing less than widen and reorient your perception of human movement. Reading Frank and La Barre will actually change what you see. And you do see it, too, because the book is packed with marvelous, detailed illustrations. If you are interested in mother-infant observational studies, the interaction of parent couples, or individual psychotherapy, this is essential reading. Psychotherapists will make discoveries about their patients, themselves, and the interaction that they might never have suspected. Frank and La Barre's novel observational method, foundational movement analysis, reveals crucial data to be right there in the embodied aspects of clinical relatedness. We are overlooking so much!" - Donnel Stern, Ph.D., Training and Supervising Analyst, William Alanson White Institute"Frank and La Barre have drawn upon years of expertise in recognizing the communicative importance of nonverbal behavior. Expanding upon the well-grounded movement perspectives of Laban, Kestenberg, Bainbridge-Cohen, and others, they extend their insights into the realm of parent-infant interaction, and awaken us to critical implications for us as psychotherapists. There are riches here pertaining to parent-infant relationships and to what makes the therapist-patient relationship effective. The bridge between these realms is exquisitely detailed in carefully observed movement interaction." - K. Mark Sossin, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Pace University, and co-author, The Meaning of Movement (1999)"Finally, here is a work that definitively reveals how nonverbal movement inclinations in infancy, developed in the company of significant others, become the implicit core of adult function, still actively part of every lived moment. By elaborating the key movement patterns in all relationships, the authors have created a somatically informed, whole person approach to both psychotherapeutic treatment and educational interventions." - Alan Fogel, Ph.D., author, The Psychophysiology of Self-Awareness: Rediscovering the Art of Body Sense"The ideas presented by Frank and LaBarre emerge from a wealth of clinical knowledge and experience. In beginning to play with their ideas and explore how they might be relevant to my own practice as a therapist, I need both a willingness to engage in my own personal exploration of movement and enough himility to allow myself to appreciate my novice status. I trust that from this place the seeds of this book would reap a rich harvest." - Leanne O'Shea, in Gestalt Journal of Australia and New Zealand"The book is a labor of love by two psychotherapists from different orientions: psychoanalysis and gestalt school....Both are practicing psychotherapists and bring their rich experience to the book....this book also introduced a new and intriguing tool for consideration in my clinical practice...easy to read, well conceptualized and organized, and an intriguing addition to the literature for developmental, counseling, and clinical psychology." - Alan Cheney, in PsycCRITIQUES"One of the most innovative and intriguing books that we have come accross this year. Highly recommended." - Play for Life, Summer 2011Table of ContentsThe Significance of the First Year. Why Movement? Six Fundamental Movements. Kinetic Temperament. Embodied History.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sacred Matters
Book SynopsisSacred Matters explores the multi-disciplinary literature about the role of religion in family life and provides new research and a new theory about ways various aspects of the sacred are helpful and harmful. The authors hope that their new conceptual framework will stimulate new research and encourage the creation of new intervention programs designed to help families.Sacred Matters features: a new conceptual framework and theory about how, when, and why sacred matters influence family processes and outcomes new qualitative and quantitative research collected in a variety of ways from people with different religious perspectives in different geographical areas an expansion in theory and research about the role of forgiveness, sacrifice, prayer, and sanctification in family life the integration of studies and issues from psychology, sociology, family studies, anthropology, and religion. ThTrade Review"Finally – a comprehensive family theory that addresses what millions of families find central to their lives – spirituality and religion. Sacred Matters will be the launch pad for decades of research on faith and families. I am developing a course called "Family Spirituality." Sacred Matters is sure to be one of my primary texts for the course." – Chris Gonzalez, Lipscomb University, USA"This ground-breaking work is sure to become a classic. These outstanding scholars combine their expertise in theory development and empirical research to provide a volume that will serve both as a text in theory courses and as a framework for future research and theory." - Joe D. Wilmoth, Mississippi State University, USA"This book is one of the most impressive works on family theory in decades. Its scope is quite impressive, ranging from philosophical issues to applied issues. The writing is... clear and the use of quotes from family members is refreshing... I think the authors have hit gold in their core proposition that the experience of the sacred is an important domain of family life, irrespective of religious belief or even participation." - William Doherty, University of Minnesota, USA"This [book] is valuable not only for its treatment of the relationships between religion and family life, but also for its ambitious effort to spell out the positive behaviors that go into a good family life, and the negative behaviors that undercut a positive family life." – W.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Making Room in Our Hearts Keeping Family Ties
Book SynopsisAdopted persons face challenges their entire lives as they struggle to answer the most basic question: Who am I? The hope of open adoption is that adopted children will develop stronger identities if they have the opportunity to develop healthy ongoing relationships with their families of origin. Making Room in Our Hearts offers an intimate look at how these relationships evolve over time, with real-life stories from families who have experienced open adoption first-hand. This book helps both adoptive and birth parents address their fears and concerns, while offering them the support to put the child's psychological and spiritual needs at the center of adoption. Based on interviews with more than one hundred adopted children, birth and adoptive parents, extended families, professionals and experts, the book is an effective and invaluable resource for those considering open adoption, those experiencing it, and professionals in the field. Openness has altered the landscape ofTrade Review'Every once in a while, a book comes along that can make an honest difference in the understanding of an important subject—and, therefore, in people's lives. I'm delighted to say that Making Room in Our Hearts is one of those books. It takes on open adoption, which remains too poorly understood despite its growing prevalence, and explains it in the best possible way: through the stories of those who live it. The result is simultaneously touching and enlightening; it's a wonderful combination that I hope and believe will make an honest difference in the continued evolution of adoption from the stigmatized, secretive process that it used to be into one that is honest, healthy and better serves all of its participants, especially the children.' - Adam Pertman, Executive Director, Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute'Micky Duxbury has written an interesting, up-to-date book on the beauty and the complexity of families built through open adoption. She has integrated the knowledge provided by other experts in the field with the poignant sharings of real families who have been living their open adoptions over several years. This is a book well worth reading and owning; I highly recommend it.' - Sharon Roszia, co-author of The Open Adoption Experience and Program Manager, Special Needs Adoptions for Kinship Center of Southern California'Open adoption is not a trend—it is the wave of the future. Making Room in Our Hearts helps us prepare for that future by providing an ethical and child-centered perspective as it puts a human face on open adoption. You will meet real people revealing, as well as struggling, with the ups and downs of these complex relationships. This book fills an important need by providing adoption professionals, birth and adoptive families and their extended familial networks with a wealth of practical and personal information.'- Brenda Romanchik, MSW, Open Adoption educator, Birth Parent advocate, and Director of Insight: Open Adoption Resources and Support'Having been born under the closed adoption system some forty-something years ago, it was a profoundly moving experience for me to read about families—birth and adoptive families—who have come to embrace openness for their children. I believe that the adoption community is moving in a brave and important new direction, and that Micky Duxbury's book will provide a vital map for families and professionals alike. I am grateful for this work and only wish that it had been the standard of practice while I was growing up.'- Susan Ito, adult adoptee and co-editor of A Ghost At Heart's Edge:Stories & Poems of Adoption'This book is a valuable inclusion as an educational tool in the arena of open adoption … that can build understanding among those personally involved with adoption, considering adoption, professionals and anyone else who is interested in this topic. Additionally, it offers support to those already in open adoptions who want to hear about how this experience has evolved for others as the years have passed.' - Patricia Martinez Dorner, MA, LPC, LMFT, Co-author of Children of Open Adoption and author of How to Open an Adoption: A Guide for Parents and Birthparents of Minors'I have been anxiously awaiting the release of Making Room in our Hearts, by Micky Duxbury so that I could recommend it to every adopting family I have the fortune of consulting with. Never has there been a volume so compassionate, inspiring and informative about why child-centered, open adoption is the correct paradigm for today's adoptions. Ms. Duxbury understands that openness in adoption is not a quantifiable obligation, but a quality that can be cultivated and resides in the heart of family members touched by adoption.'- Leslie Foge, MA, MFT, Adoption Psychotherapist and Co-author of The Third Choice: A Woman's Guide for Placing a Child for Adoption'Making Room in Our Hearts is an authentic, inside account of the open adoption experience. It offers an opportunity to listen in as the participants of adoption describe the delights and challenges of their journeys. Openness never shines brighter than when it is expressed in the actual words of those who live it day in and day out.'- James Gritter, author of The Spirit of Open Adoption, and The Lifegivers:Framing the Birth Parent Experience in Adoption'This is a wonderful book… and the author seems to have complete control of this often-confusing area of relationships. The topic is covered in a thorough as well as realistic fashion. Duxbury is a skilled writer and has a very friendly writing style that should appeal to the reader….As families become more and more "non-traditional" the notion of openness cannot be stressed enough.'- Jon Carlson, Psy.D., Ed.D., ABPP, Distinguished Professor, Governors State University"Every once in a while, a book comes along that can make an honest difference in the understanding of an important subject—and, therefore, in people's lives.

Her book is so compelling and such a pleasure to read because the stories of the families are told in such lucid language with well paced story lines. You can feel the excitement of a family when a baby is placed in their home and the anguish of a birthfather wanting a stronger connection to his son. Ms. Duxbury, an advocate of open adoption, does not spare either the joy or the pain of open adoption." - Ann Wrixon, Independent Adoption Center Executive DirectorTable of ContentsIto, Foreword.
