Jessica Kingsley Publishers The Compassionate Practitioner: How to create a
Book SynopsisFocusing on the importance of relationship-building, this handbook explains how to turn new clients into regulars and make your practice flourish.If you can create trust, loyalty and a sense of safety in new clients, they are more likely to commit to the further appointments needed to experience the healing you have to offer. This book considers how best to enhance the client's experience at every stage of the consultation through compassion and mindfulness. It is full of practical advice about everything from creating the right ambience in the therapy room to maintaining a positive attitude through self-reflection. This will be a valued support for students and professionals working in a wide range of complementary and alternative therapies, as well as art, music and drama therapists.Trade ReviewMost of us enter the therapeutic relationship with a qualification in use of specialized healing techniques, yet little or no idea about how to navigate either the psychological implications of the work, or indeed the hands-on business of setting up a practice. Jane Wood investigates with clarity, tackling issues theoretically, as well as giving personal development techniques to implement changes that should act from within to without. It seems to me that she has left few stones unturned. More importantly, she has given us a definitive self-help manual where one has certainly been needed. -- Misha Norland, homeopathic practitioner of 40 years' experience, teacher and authorThere is a lot in this book that practitioners from any modality will benefit from… It is very well written; professional but personal at the same time. I highly recommend it. -- Edward Obaidey, Acupuncture Practitioner, Edward Obaidey Acupuncture Clinic, Tokyo, JapanThe author, a retired homeopathic practitioner as well as a teacher, supervisor, and workshop facilitator understands the importance of the therapeutic relationship and the work is well referenced... It deserves, in my view to become a standard reference book for students as well as an essential "bible" for experienced practitioners... I strongly recommend this book to both the experienced and the inexperienced in the confident belief that both will have something to learn from it. -- The HomeopathTable of ContentsIntroduction. 1.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Getting Better at Getting People Better: Creating
Book SynopsisWhat is it that really gets people better? With practical information on how to support clients' healing processes, this book helps practitioners across a wide range of physical and medical therapies, as well as psychotherapists, to improve their practice and get better at what they do.Getting to the core of true healing, Noah Karrasch explores the essentials of effective practice that apply across all healing modalities and expands on a four step formula based on these essentials: caring about patrons, providing a safe setting, communicating with clients, and encouraging their participation in their own healing. The book also discusses the practitioner's self-understanding and self-healing work as a vital part of becoming a better provider of health and healing, and Karrasch presents a model of communication focused on recognising which of four centers (head, heart, gut, or groin) both practitioners and their clients operate from to strengthen ties between healing partners.Revealing the fundamentals of effective practice drawn from a wide range of therapies, this book provides practical advice, as well as points of reflection, for all those seeking to deepen their therapeutic practice.Trade ReviewWhat an invigorating read! I can't tell you what a joy it is to see questions that have rumbled around silently inside me for years be addressed so clearly in this book. Questions that go to the heart of healing-what is it all really about? Why are we drawn to go into healing work-and how can we honestly explore our own motivations? -- Colleen Loehr, M.D., psychiatrist, Fulton (MO) State HospitalI have had the great fortune of experiencing treatment with Noah.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Combining Touch and Relaxation Skills for Cancer
Book SynopsisMassage, aromatherapy, reflexology and a variety of relaxation techniques are frequently used in hospices, supportive care settings and some hospitals. However, there are still gaps and limitations in the choices offered to patients. HEARTS (Hands-on, Empathy, Aromas, Relaxation, Textures, Sound) was devised to bridge this gap for complementary therapists, patients, carers and health care professionals. HEARTS can be used either on its own, or integrated with a conventional complementary therapy. It can also be used easily by health care workers (and carers) who are not qualified in any therapies. By discussing principles which may influence the effectiveness of touch and relaxation therapies, the book emphasises that there are 'easy' approaches that can be utilised when working with distressed and vulnerable patients.By developing an understanding of touch, aromas and the sound of the human voice, Combining Touch and Relaxation Skills for Cancer Care guides practitioners in helping their patients achieve a state of relaxation and calm as quickly and easily as possible.Trade ReviewWith this book, Ann has created a wonderful fusion of knowledge and narrative. She offers the reader a clear rationale as to why she incorporated each aspect of HEARTS into her practice. She leads us on a journey, showing the evolution of this precious technique, illustrating with case studies at every stage. Fantastic! -- Jacqui Stringer, Clinical Lead for Tissue Viability and Complementary Health & Wellbeing, Christie NHS TrustIn this book, Ann Carter masterly explains and illustrates the entire HEARTS process for professional users from a theoretical to a practical point of view. As HEARTS undoubtedly is a multisensorial technique much needed in these challenging times for the supportive care within the healthcare system, this is a must-read informative book for nurses and therapists working in cancer settings and palliative care. Excellent! -- Jonathan Benavides, Clinical aromatherapist, director Essentia Nobilis, HEARTS teacher, educator, counsellorThis is a helpful book for anyone who is dealing with cancer patients or the chronically ill who would like to give them some gentle touch therapy to alleviate pain and to nurture the emotions and spirits of the receiver. In fact it would be very pleasant for anyone to receive or to give. I hope HEARTS will contribute to more merit being given to touch therapy in general. -- Rachel Nicolle FwSS * Shiatsu Health Point *

Free Association Books Mastering the Medical Consultation: A Systemic,
Book SynopsisModern medicine and healthcare systems are in crisis. In the last fifty years, medicine has gained deep, scientific insights into the biological basis of health and disease, and while this has led to many successes, it has brought about a dramatic change of medical focus. The patient is seen as a carrier of disease rather than as a person with a unique experience of the effects of disease or illness. This book seeks to correct that, but showing how a person-centred medical consultation might overcome this crisis of modern medicine. The systemic, solution-oriented approach, outlined here in this new title, is good for both the patient and the doctor, and is a counter-model to doctor's consultations that can seem automated and impersonal. In a systemic, solution-oriented consultation, doctor and patient approach the symptom or problem and the patient's solutions. With active listening and a doctor who can ask the right questions, they create a common reality as a starting point for a targeted therapeutic process, which is tailored to the needs and possibilities of the patient. The consultation thus structured involves the patient as a person in all of his being with his own, personal resources. It initiates an individual, comprehensive and efficient healing process. In addition, the doctor feels satisfaction and joy in his work, which contributes significantly to his own well-being. The consultation process is ideally divided into seven steps, which are described in detail and justified with reference to the literature.

Templeton Foundation Press,U.S. Spiritual Caregiving: Healthcare As A Ministry
Book Synopsis With today's cumbersome insurance procedures, government regulations, endless paperwork, and concerns about malpractice rates, many health care professionals are asking: "Why am I doing this? Am I making a difference to my patients? Is there a better way—and if so, what is it?" In this book, Carson and Koenig examine the state of the health care system with the goal of providing healthcare professionals and caregivers the inspiration and practical tools to reclaim their sense of purpose. The book begins with an evaluation of the current system from the perspective of the spiritual vision that initially motivated and nourished many caregivers. The authors then pose a vision of a health care system that supports and nurtures the spirituality of patients and their families, of which some elements already exist. An overview is provided on the preparation necessary for health care professionals to offer spiritual care when there are major implications—for people with chronic illnesses, psychiatric issues, devastating injuries, and those preparing for surgery, facing death, and those living with chronic pain. Also explored are ways that health professionals and caregivers can maintain their own spiritual health even as they work to bring about healing, comfort, and solace to others. Woven throughout the book are the personal narratives of physicians, nurses, chaplains, health care educators, community resource workers, administrators, therapists, and psychologists—all from a wide range of religious traditions. Their examples inspire and assist professionals in renewing the spiritual focus of health care. Table of Contents Preface / ix Acknowledgments / xv 1.

Bellevue Literary Press Pale Faces: The Masks of Anemia
Book SynopsisWho would have thought that something so commonplace as iron deficiency would lead to prehistoric ochre, Egyptian amulets, Renaissance alchemy, Victorian projections of maidenhood, and the astrophysical end of everything? Whether mild or deadly, anemia affects an essential body fluid: blood. In Pale Faces, Charles L. Bardes probes deeply into this illness as metaphor by exploring the impact of both science and culture on its treatment across the ages. His innovative "life" of this condition ranges widely through history, mythology, literature and clinical practice to examine how our notions of specific medical conditions are often deeply rooted in language, symbolism and culture. Delving into the annals of anemia and its treatment, he takes us on a fascinating journey back through the history of medicine--from the Greeks and ancient practices of bloodletting and magic up to the diagnostic rituals of a modern medical office. A scholar of the literary as well as the medical arts, Bardes gives us a beautifully written, free-ranging text, resonant with poetic associations yet anchored in concrete clinical experience. As a practicing physician, Bardes is also able to draw upon his direct experience with patients to demystify the doctor/patient relationship. Through detailed descriptions of the diagnostic processes involved in blood related conditions, as well as the particular understanding of the inner workings of the human body provided by modern medical science, we are treated to the complex ways in which doctors think. Charles L. Bardes, MD, is a practicing physician who teaches extensively at Weill Cornell Medical College, where he directs the Medicine Clerkship and serves as Associate Dean. He is the author of Essential Skills in Clinical Medicine, a guide for students and interns, and Pale Faces: The Masks of Anemia, the first book in the Bellevue Literary Press Pathographies series. He has been the Bernard DeVoto Fellow in Nonfiction at the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference and his essays have appeared in numerous journals, including Agni. He lives in New York.Trade Review"Bardes casts a wide net over science, literature and philosophy in this marvelously literate study... Readers with a passion for multidisciplinary and well-crafted writing will find pleasure here." --Publishers Weekly "An appetizing smorgasbord of stories of considerable erudition and wide interest. For readers seeking intellectual entertainment and exploration, this is a delightful book." --Choice "Charles L. Bardes's meditations on medicine ... are beautifully--transparently--written, deeply informed, consistently probing the implications of their subject matter, and they carry surprise." --SVEN BIRKERTS, from "Charles Bardes, An Appreciation," Agni "Charles L. Bardes writes with a wonderfully creative and richly literate style... It is an illusion unmasked in this interesting and rewarding book that diseases are technical things separate from the world of language and meanings in which we are all immersed." --ERIC CASSELL, author of The Nature of Suffering and the Goals of Medicine "Denis Diderot wrote that the organs of the body have their particular history, their infancy, youth, and senility. Each one has a biography. In Pale Faces, Dr. Charles L. Bardes has shown himself a wonderful biographer of the blood-forming system. His depiction of the origin, vicissitudes, and, in a word, the silent majesty of the structures that make and destroy the blood, is no less than masterful." --F.

Springer International Publishing AG Communicating With Families: Taking The Language
Book SynopsisThis textbook uniquely highlights the particular complexities of working systemically with couples and families with children. It is designed to be student and practitioner oriented by drawing on real world examples of therapeutic encounters in mental health settings to illustrate how theory can inform practice. Good communication is the cornerstone of good clinical practice and is foundational for building therapeutic alliance. Although therapists and counsellors are often highly skilled in their therapeutic modalities, this book offers additional practical suggestions about how families engage in social actions and positioning themselves and others in their talk. The book also takes wider micro and macro ecological systems within which systemic psychotherapists and counsellors work into account and consider the ways that these larger social influences are experienced within institutional discourses. The book will be a valuable resource across a broad spectrum of professions and researchers, including counsellors, psychotherapists, family therapists, psychiatrists, nurses, play therapists, speech and language therapists, and mental health social workers.Table of ContentsPrefaceIn this short preface, which serves an introduction to the book, we will be clear about our focus in the book, the audiences for the book, and our theoretical foundation for the empirical research contained in the chapters. Here we will explain that our focus on families is those families that have a child, under the age of 18 years in the interaction, rather than being on adult family interactions. PART ONE: THEORETICAL CONTEXT 1. Systems within systems: Families in societya. This chapter sets the theoretical foundation for the rest of the book. All other chapters are primarily practical, but will draw upon the theoretical framework introduced in this opening chapter. We position the practical and empirical findings from our research into mental health interventions with families and children, in relation to the integration of social ecological theory, systems theory and social constructionism. Each of these theoretical frameworks will be briefly outlined and their intersection will be described to provide readers with a clear understanding of where mental health family conversations are societally situated. Different explanations of normality have different trajectories for the direction of our understanding of mental health and illness. Thus, this chapter will cover: i. The language of mental health and illness ii. The language of deviance iii. Social ecological theory iv. Systems theoryv. Social constructionism vi. Biomedical and social explanations of mental health vii. Political systems, health systems and the Western context (including UK). viii. How these ideas are integrated to present our position through the book 2. Communicating with families a. Bearing in mind the wider context outlined in chapter one, and the debates around normality and it biomedical or social underpinnings, we move in this chapter to the history of how family interventions have become an important part of the institutional landscape for working in child mental health. We discuss what family therapy is, and the different kind of work with families (such as mental health assessments). Thus, this chapter will cover: i. What constitutes the family – Western context ii. What constitutes the family – other cultures – we will use real world examples iii. The modern diverse family - including boxes of lived experience – to include new ways of thinking about the family (same sex couples etc)iv. Family interventions – family therapy (and its history), mental health assessments v. Introduce research projects that chapters are based on vi. Introduce language-based approaches to research and analysis (Conversation analysis and discourse analysis, e.g., the social action of language – performative discourse) 3. Forming and maintaining good therapeutic relationships a. Language-based therapy relies heavily on the relationship between all parties involved. It is crucial to understand how to develop mutual relationships and to maintain them without encountering rupture. When rupture does occur, the professional needs communication strategies to ‘fix’ the rupture. The language and communication are thus the cornerstone of the intervention. Thus, the chapter will cover: i. The importance of the therapeutic relationshipii. Language as a vehicle for change iii. Alignment in multi-party conversations iv. Rupture v. Who takes responsibility to fix a rupture and how?vi. Data examples PART TWO: ENGAGING CHILDREN 4. Managing interruptionsa. In the context of multi-party conversations, it is common to find that people may overlap in talk or interrupt one another. This chapter looks at what the social meanings and functions of interruptions are in the context of child and family mental health interventions. Thus, this chapter will cover: i. What constitutes interruptions – interruptions as a social construct ii. Questioning the notion of power in interruptions iii. Politeness markers and their role iv. Children’s interruptions and their treatment in the conversation v. Therapists’ interruptions vi. Parents’ interruptions 5. Engaging children through questions a. This is a very practical chapter that draws upon previously published empirical research exploring specific techniques used to engage children in therapeutic conversations. While lots of information about the child can be gathered from other family members, it is important for professionals to find ways to communicate directly with children to ascertain their thoughts and feelings. Thus, this chapter will include: i. The importance of question design ii. You said prefaces; using the phrase you said as a preface to introduce difficult topics iii. Three wishes; using the phrase ‘if you had three wishes’ to elicit goals from children in therapy or assessments iv. Why are you here? Establishing the extent children understand their attendance in the mental health setting v. Using why questions 6. Engaging children through creative techniques a. This is a very practical chapter that draws upon empirical research and the wider literature to explore creative techniques, such as play and art used to engage children. Thus, this chapter will include: i. The importance of participatory techniques - creative and visual (art and play) ii. Subjective Units of Distress as a quantitative measure of children’s feelings (e.g., on a scale of one to ten) iii. The use of art, play, drawing family trees, role play through television programmes etc (mostly drawn from the literature)7. Children’s competence a. This chapter specifically focuses on children and young people, and how they are treated in multi-party, multi-generational interactions in mental health environments. What is negotiated in these interactions is the competence of children to be able to answer questions asked of them and provide reliable information about their wellbeing. Thus, this chapter will include: i. The socially constructed nature of competence ii. Expectations adults have of children and how they are aligned with or contested by the children in these settings iii. Relevance of children’s developmental age iv. Therapists’ competence and cultural competenciesv. The types of question adults ask of children and assumptions made about whether they are competent to answer vi. The notion of children holding half-membership in adult conversations and its relevance in mental health vii. Data examples PART THREE: ATTENDING TO THE DIFFERENT NEEDS OF FAMILY MEMBERS 8. Managing sensitive conversations with children presenta. Through the course of multi-party conversations there are likely to be instances where members treat the topic or content as in some way inappropriate or difficult for one of more of the people present. This is particularly the case where adult may be talking about topics that they orient as being inappropriate to discuss in front of children. In situations where one person is talking about another present party, the talked about person may choose to disagree with the appraisal. Thus, this chapter will cover: i. Determining the appropriateness of adult topics while children are in the room. ii. The social construction of the adult and of the child – and the social construction of what topics are categorised as ‘adult’ iii. Managing the delicacy of what might be socially determined as an adult topic but may be relevant (or not) to the child iv. Managing topic choice in multi-party and multi-generational interactions v. Managing disagreement between parties vi. Data examples 9. Avoiding shame and blame a. In multi-party conversations, and especially in settings like family therapy, an understanding of the child’s difficulties is positioned as being to some extent the responsibility of the parents. This positioning means that parents often need to do discursive work to construct themselves as good parents. This identity construction deflects blame for the child’s difficulties. i. Parents positioning as responsible for the child’s difficulties ii. A social construction of a systemic dysfunction in separated and blended families.iii. The management of blame and accountability iv. Identity construction and subject positions v. Data examples 10. How to talk about risk a. This chapter addresses the important issue about how risk is assessed and discussed in multi-party conversations in mental health settings. Where frequently self-harm and suicidal ideation are found to be present in those with mental health need, and therefore it is important to explore this difficult topic. Nonetheless mental health practitioners may find talking about risk, especially with children and young people, a challenging endeavour. We discuss useful techniques that mental health practitioners can use to facilitate these conversations. i. The context of self-harm, suicide and mental health ii. Regulatory requirements to assess for risk iii. The challenges of eliciting information about sensitive topics iv. Communication techniques for asking difficult questions about risk v. Data examples. 11. Using recordings for reflective practice a. The foundation of this book has been how recordings of multi-party interactions within mental health settings have been used to learn valuable lessons about good practice and developing practice. This chapter provides reader with an opportunity to use some of the techniques represented by the authors for their own clinical reflective practice. i. Clinical use of reflective practice ii. Pragmatics of recording mental health sessions iii. Using four column analysis for developing practice iv. Working with recordings in supervision and training v. Using discursive methodologies in clinical reflection (Reflective Interventionist Conversation Analysis; Video Reflexive Ethnography).

ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon A Systems Analysis of Medicine (SAM) – Healing
Book SynopsisThis book is a must-read for anyone interested in transforming the impersonal character of the medical experience into a personalised, relational, spiritual, and holistic dialog about human health. It promotes a holistic vision of the doctor-patient relationship, a medicine that ought to be based on the totality of the human experience rather than on the reductive view of the patient as a person with a certain disease. Ken A. Bryson describes the character of medicine as the gateway to holistic healing and argues that we need to secure the ethical foundation of universal medicine as not relative to a cultural setting, thus establishing the Oath of Hippocrates as the universal proof of human dignity. This view emboldens us to raise medicine from the level of an impersonal technological encounter with disease to its rightful place as a sacred activity that includes all the levels of the human experience. The book offers practical suggestions on how to accomplish that objective.
