Book SynopsisIn this magisterial cultural and intellectual history, Thomas Bauer reconsiders classical and modern Islam by tracing differing attitudes toward ambiguity. Over a span of many centuries, he explores the tension between one strand that aspires to annihilate all uncertainties and a competing tendency that looks for ways to live with complexity.Trade ReviewBoth the non-specialist and the seasoned scholar will come away from this book rethinking at least part of what they thought they know about Islamic culture in its past and present incarnations. * TLS *Thomas Bauer takes his audience on a delightfully opinionated and provocative journey through premodern Islamic cultural and intellectual history. His apt use of the theoretical lens of ambiguity will make readers look at both premodern and modern Islamic cultures—and beyond them at all cultural expressions—with new eyes. -- Ahmed El Shamsy, author of Rediscovering the Islamic Classics: How Editors and Print Culture Transformed an Intellectual TraditionThomas Bauer's A Culture of Ambiguity belongs to the rare class of books that can change our thinking about a whole era of history—here premodern Islam. It is highly innovative and offers new ways of understanding Arabic literature, from the Qur'an via Islamic law to the Arabian Nights. -- Frank Griffel, author of The Formation of Post-Classical Philosophy in IslamIn this wonderful book, Thomas Bauer offers a truly fresh history of how Islam was lived and interpreted before the nineteenth century. With a focus on 'ambiguity,' he tells a fascinating story well beyond hackneyed clichés of 'medieval' bigots and zealots. Elegantly written, often witty, and always erudite, this is an outstandingly enjoyable must-read for anyone interested in Islam. -- Konrad Hirschler, coeditor of The Damascus Fragments: Towards a History of the Qubbat al-khazna Corpus of Manuscripts and DocumentsBauer’s alternative history, postmodern in vision and method, debunks the modernist narrative and repudiates all its teleological claims. It shows that the modernist solution to the human problem has its own flaws as the modernist utopia has its own deficits. * Muslim World Book Review *An exciting and highly recommended publication for both students of Islam and members of the public with an interest in acquiring an informed, critical knowledge of Islam’s complex history. * Journal of Arabic Literature *Table of ContentsForewordIntroduction 1.

Book SynopsisIn this uplifting and practical book, written in collaboration with his biographer, Austen Ivereigh, the preeminent spiritual leader explains why we must—and how we can—make the world safer, fairer, and healthier for all people now.   In the COVID crisis, the beloved shepherd of over one billion Catholics saw the cruelty and inequity of our society exposed more vividly than ever before. He also saw, in the resilience, generosity, and creativity of so many people, the means to rescue our society, our economy, and our planet. In direct, powerful prose, Pope Francis urges us not to let the pain be in vain.    He begins Let Us Dream by exploring what this crisis can teach us about how to handle upheaval of any kind in our own lives and the world at large. With unprecedented candor, he reveals how three crises in his own life changed him dramatically for the better.

Book SynopsisHundreds of thousands of clinicians and graduate students have relied on this text--now significantly revised with more than 50% new material--to learn the fundamentals of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). Leading expert Judith S. Beck demonstrates how to engage patients, develop a sound case conceptualization, plan individualized treatment, structure sessions, and implement core cognitive, behavioral, and experiential techniques. Throughout the book, extended cases of one client with severe depression and another with depression, anxiety, and borderline personality traits illustrate how a skilled therapist delivers CBT and troubleshoots common difficulties. Adding to the third edition's utility, the companion website features downloadable worksheets and videos of therapy sessions. New to This Edition *Chapter on the therapeutic relationship. *Chapter on integrating mindfulness into treatment. *Presents recovery-oriented cognitive therapy (CT-R)--which empTrade Review"Given the tremendous amount of new research and expansion of ideas that continue to move the field in exciting new directions, I applaud the efforts to expand this volume to incorporate some of the different ways of conceptualizing and treating our clients….Even CBT therapists who are skilled at delivering traditional CBT should find this book quite helpful in adopting a strengths-based approach, sharpening their conceptualization skills, expanding their repertoire of therapeutic techniques, planning more effective treatment, and troubleshooting difficulties in therapy….The purpose of Dr. Judith Beck’s book is to educate, to teach, and to train both the novice and the experienced therapist in CBT, and she has succeeded admirably in this mission."--from the Foreword by Aaron T. Beck, MD, University Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania "This thoroughly revised third edition provides a systematic bird's-eye view of the method and thinking of an experienced, gifted CBT practitioner. Beck's conversational tone is welcoming and reassuring. The text includes transcripts, reflection questions, practice exercises, and clinical tips for the learner. It seamlessly incorporates contemporary elements of CBT, including mindfulness and the consideration of patient strengths, aspirations, and values. Beginning practitioners will find the rubrics for considering stuck points in therapy and performing good evaluations to be invaluable. This book is a 'must' for anyone interested in learning more about both the micro-skills of CBT and the big picture of thoughtful and reflective therapeutic practice."--Donna M. Sudak, MD, Professor of Psychiatry and Vice Chair for Education, Drexel University–Tower Health Medical Group "CBT is exploding in all directions. Before exploring far-off territories, I recommend learners start here! 'Basic' is defined as 'forming an essential foundation or starting point; fundamental,' which describes this book perfectly. It is an ideal text for graduate students learning CBT and for practitioners at all levels of experience who are new to CBT and want to learn the foundational principles and practices of this important psychotherapy model."--Jacqueline B. Persons, PhD, Director, Oakland Cognitive Behavior Therapy Center; Clinical Professor, Department of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley "My students regularly comment that Beck’s book is their favorite of all the texts in our course. She creates a relationship with readers that increases their ability to understand and apply information from the text, just like a therapeutic alliance facilitates the patient’s incorporation of new data in therapy. Any student of psychology can pick up the third edition and get a full understanding of the nature, scope, structure, and strengths of CBT."--Laird Bridgman, PsyD, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, Irvine, California; private practice, Lake Forest, California "I am delighted to see the third edition of this classic work, which includes a positive, strengths-based perspective for clinicians working with people who struggle with significant mental health problems. Focusing on individual values, goals, strengths, and resources, and on newer evidence-based cognitive and behavioral strategies, will surely benefit patients and their families. This essential resource with clear examples will enhance the practice skills of psychologists, social workers, psychiatric nurses, psychiatrists, licensed mental health practitioners, and their students."--Gail Steketee, PhD, Professor and Dean Emerita, Boston University School of Social Work “The third edition of Judith Beck’s classic text builds on the legacy of prior editions by including positive, recovery-based methods; mindfulness; and other newer developments that make it even more valuable to students and clinicians. Beck’s inspiring therapy with her clients shines through and gives readers a feast of practical examples of how to put CBT into action. A leading force in the practice and evolution of CBT, Beck has given us a book to treasure.”--Jesse H. Wright, MD, PhD, Kolb Endowed Chair of Outpatient Psychiatry and Director, Depression Center, University of Louisville School of Medicine-This book is excellent because it is a step-by-step approach to understanding cognitive behavior therapy, written by an expert in the field. The clinical examples really help the readers understand how theory is applied. The book should be in the libraries of students first learning the CBT process. However, seasoned professionals will also gain much from this volume as well. The third edition is needed because the book has been updated with new material and a companion website.*****!--Doody’s Review Service, 04/23/2021ƒƒA comprehensive and highly useful teaching text that can be used by either therapists-in-training or experienced therapists….Judith Beck is a master psychotherapist who has successfully compiled a text that clearly explains the fundamentals of cognitive therapy in a way that will be exceedingly useful to anyone studying psychotherapy. Psychiatry residents I work with consistently want to see actual examples of how psychotherapy is done. This book, with its extensive dialogues, provides a clear example of how a skilled, empathic therapist conducts treatment. What is most impressive about this work is that it provides thorough and detailed instruction yet is concise enough to be read cover-to-cover in a reasonable length of time….After mastering this text, those interested in more in-depth instruction from Dr. Beck can obtain her work Cognitive Therapy for Challenging Problems: What to Do When the Basics Don't Work, also published by Guilford Press. (on the second edition)--Journal of Psychiatric Practice, 07/01/2013ƒƒA comprehensive road map to the practice of CBT [and] a must-read guide for graduate students and practicing therapists who are interested in learning the essentials of CBT. It will no doubt be recognized as a classic text in the field due not only to its excellent coverage of CBT, but also to the clear, concise, and illustrative manner in which the techniques are presented.

Book SynopsisThis handbook is an invaluable resource on the principles and practice of Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture (YNSA). This popular form of scalp acupuncture is used to treat a wealth of neurological conditions, and is very effective in stroke patients with pain and restricted mobility, providing relief from the symptoms. David Bomzon is an international expert on YNSA and he includes step-by-step explanations of points, points location, indications for needling, and clinical cases, all supported by line drawings and photographs. Uniquely, this book is written by an acupuncturist for acupuncturists, chiropractors and physical therapists, and the author clearly reconciles the theoretical needling points described by Yamamoto with actual needling points. Basic, sensory, brain, Y (epsilon) and cranial points are all covered, as well as instructions on applying YNSA in the clinic. The handbook also explains the benefits of combining YNSA treatment with Western medicine and physical therapy, making this essential reading for all practitioners looking to expand their knowledge of scalp acupuncture.Trade ReviewAfter numerous courses held by Prof. David Bomzon and Abraham Amir in our schools of the European Foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine, we can affirm that it is a pride to have this Clinical Handbook of Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture, where everything Bomzon and Amir have shown and taught with passion and delicacy to all their students is synthesized, making known the new scalp acupuncture (YNSA) to help other professionals to treat neurological conditions not only effective but also immediate in apoplegic patients with pain and reduced mobility. -- The European Foundation of Traditional Chinese MedicineTable of Contents1.

What could be more wonderful than that? Kathleen McDonald (Sangye Khadro), a Western nun with decades of experience and author of the bestselling book How to Meditate, guides us through the next step in our meditation practice: the transformative meditations on the Tibetan lamrim stages to enlightenment. She helps us see that the whole purpose of meditation is to transform our mind in a constructive way. For this to happen, we need to become so thoroughly familiar with the

Book SynopsisWhy is psychiatry such big business? Why are so many psychiatric drugs prescribed - 47 million antidepressant prescriptions in the UK alone last year - and why, without solid scientific justification, has the number of mental disorders risen from 106 in 1952 to 374 today?The everyday sufferings and setbacks of life are now 'medicalised' into illnesses that require treatment - usually with highly profitable drugs. Psychological therapist James Davies uses his insider knowledge to illustrate for a general readership how psychiatry has put riches and medical status above patients' well-being. The charge sheet is damning: negative drug trials routinely buried; antidepressants that work no better than placebos; research regularly manipulated to produce positive results; doctors, seduced by huge pharmaceutical rewards, creating more disorders and prescribing more pills; and ethical, scientific and treatment flaws unscrupulously concealed by mass-marketing.Cracked reveals for the first time the true human cost of an industry that, in the name of helping others, has actually been helping itself.Trade Review[Cracked] should be read by every doctor ... by everyone in politics and the media, not to mention any concerned citizen. -- Peter Hitchens * Mail on Sunday *Chilling reading -- Will Self * Guardian *Davies's book is a potent polemic -- Bryan Appleyard * Sunday Times *If, in the world of psychiatry, the DSM is Holy Scripture, Cracked is set to become a heretical text. -- Robert Crampton * The Times Magazine *A profoundly disturbing look at the world of Big Pharma ... This is an important book for anyone who has an interest in mental health. * Daily Mail *Builds a disturbing picture of a profession that is in thrall to pharmaceutical companies -- Michael Mosley * BBC Focus *An eye-opening and persuasive work * Publishers Weekly *[A] diligent study * Financial Times *A well-written book ... a positive contribution to the debate about whether psychiatry can become a more open practice. * Therapy Today *Disturbing and uncompromising * Kirkus Reviews *A very controversial, fascinating and powerful read ... full of balanced and reasonable arguments. I would strongly urge all mental health professionals, those in the caring professions as well anybody interested in mental health to read this book. * The Psychologist *An engrossing book, full of interviews with patients and professionals * GP Magazine *I couldn't put the book down. It is totally engaging, as controversial as it is compelling, and as erudite as it is enjoyable ... The book deserves to be a bestseller and should be read by every mental health professional * International Review of Logotherapy and Existential Analysis *I, personally, applaud a work that can shine a light into the murky corners of dubious practice' -- Alan Pope * Sitegeist *This is an excellent book....[it] careens, almost literally, from one psychiatric outrage to the next ...

Book SynopsisDrawing on deep reserves of experience and theoretical and research knowledge, Nancy McWilliams presents a fresh perspective on psychodynamic supervision in this highly instructive work. McWilliams examines the role of the supervisor in developing the therapist's clinical skills, giving support, helping to formulate and monitor treatment goals, and providing input on ethical dilemmas. Filled with candid clinical examples, the book addresses both individual and group supervision. Special attention is given to navigating personality dynamics, power imbalances, and various dimensions of diversity in the supervisory dyad. McWilliams guides mentors and mentees alike to optimize this unique relationship as a resource for lifelong professional learning and growth. Winner--Gradiva Award, National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis Winner--American Board and Academy of Psychoanalysis Book Prize (Clinical Category)Trade Review"A 'must read' for all mental health professionals. This is the most valuable book on the subject that I have ever read. McWilliams is a master teacher. She seems to have read and thoroughly mastered every source on psychoanalytically oriented supervision. Without ever condescending to the reader, she shares complex ideas that will be highly compelling to both beginners and experienced therapists. This book is a gem--don't miss it!"--Glen O. Gabbard, MD, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Baylor College of Medicine "McWilliams has done it again: here she takes on the subject of supervision with the same sharp and refined eye that she has brought to diagnosis, case formulation, and the challenge of being a psychodynamic practitioner. McWilliams offers a passionate defense of the judgment, wisdom, and mentalizing capacity that supervision requires, whether working with individuals, groups, or within institutes. She pays close attention to the self-esteem of beginning clinicians, emphasizing both the liability and inevitability of moments of shame. At the heart of this book is a well-articulated commitment to maintaining an ethical sensibility. Given McWilliams’s inviting prose, and her candor in revealing personal experiences, this book will have an extraordinarily wide reach."--Elliot Jurist, PhD, Professor of Psychology and Philosophy, The City College of New York and The Graduate Center, The City University of New York "This is far and away the best discussion of clinical supervision I have ever seen. McWilliams distills a lifetime of clinical understanding and wisdom into lucid, gorgeous, and remarkably accessible prose. I recommend this book to clinicians of any level of experience who provide supervision to others, to clinicians receiving it, and, for that matter, to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of what truly meaningful psychotherapy looks like at its very best. A masterpiece."--Jonathan Shedler, PhD, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, University of California, San Francisco "McWilliams offers a visionary framework for contemporary psychoanalytic supervision, compelling the reader toward wisdom and compassion as guiding forces. This book centers the humanity of the supervisee and the supervisor, honoring their resilience even while bearing suffering and the unknown. Riveting illustrations of supervisor–supervisee dynamics are used to engage a more complex and vibrant understanding of teaching and mentoring. This is a critical read for therapists and supervisors of any theoretical orientation who are dedicated to collaborative training and practice."--Pratyusha Tummala-Narra, PhD, Director of Training, Counseling Psychology Doctoral Program, Boston College-Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.
