Oxford University Press Inc The Finding Solid Ground Program Workbook
Book SynopsisFor those who have experienced trauma, life may sometimes feel hopeless, full of feeling too much or too little, and the world can feel like a terrifying and dangerous place. This can be especially true for those hurt by people they loved, trusted, or relied on. To escape the pain, many trauma survivors disconnect from themselves and the world, including in ways that are risky or unsafe. The good news is that survivors can heal, recover from trauma, and grow. The Finding Solid Ground Program Workbook is an invaluable guide through this important, meaningful work, providing a step-by-step approach at a pace designed to feel safe. In this workbook, which can be used independently or in the context of psychotherapy, expert authors guide readers step by step along the path of healing from trauma, and offer specific exercises to practice daily that will help survivors feel safer and develop a grounded, worthy sense of self. This book includes the Information Sheets and Exercises that are the foundation for the Finding Solid Ground program; the companion book for therapists, Finding Solid Ground: Overcoming Obstacles in Trauma Treatment provides the theoretical, clinical, and research rationale for the program. Therapists will find that this program breaks recovery into practical and manageable steps that can be immediately implemented. Participation in the Finding Solid Ground program in the TOP DD Network study was linked with improved ability to manage emotions in healthy ways and reduced dissociation, posttraumatic stress symptoms, and self-injury.Trade ReviewFinding Solid Ground is the most helpful book available on the treatment of clinical dissociation. Based on an extended clinical research study, this guide is highly recommended for those who seek concrete, evidence-based guidance in this area. Equally recommended is the associated workbook, which provides detailed and compassionate information and exercises for clients struggling with dissociate challenges. * John Briere, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, author, Treating risky and compulsive behavior in trauma survivors. NY: Guilford (2019). *Finding Solid Ground is an enormous contribution to the field of trauma: the first book on trauma and dissociation written by authors who are both scholars and clinicians. They build a solid ground of research evidence to support an understanding of dissociation combined with practical applications that can be easily integrated into psychotherapy or serve as a stand-alone treatment. Well done! * Janina Fisher, Ph.D, author of Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors, Transforming the Living Legacy of Trauma, and The Living Legacy Flip Chart. *Finding Solid Ground, provides invaluable resources on the treatment of dissociative trauma-related disorders. The authors are educators par excellence who have used their expertise as researchers and clinicians to produce a highly readable overview of dissociation along with treatment guidelines and exercises.

Johns Hopkins University Press Strategic Science Communication
Book SynopsisWhat tactics can effective science communicators use to reach a wide audience and achieve their goals?Effective science communicationthe type that can drive behavior change while boosting the likelihood that people will turn to science when faced with challengesis not simply a matter of utilizing social media or employing innovative tactics like nudges.

Besley and Anthony Dudo encapsulate their practical expertise in 11 evidence-based principles of strategic science communication. Among other things, science communicators, they argue, should strive to seem competent, warm, honest, and willing to listen. Their work should also convey a desire to make the world a better place.

Time Warner Trade Publishing The Marvelous Pigness of Pigs
Book SynopsisJoel Salatin is perhaps the nation''s best known farmer, whose environmentally friendly, sustainable Polyface Farms has been featured in Food, Inc. and Time magazine. Now in his first book written for a faith audience, Salatin offers a deeply personal argument for earth stewardship, and calls for fellow Christians to join him in looking to the Bible for a foodscape in line with spiritual truth. Salatin urges Christians to rethink America''s allegiance to cheap corporate food that destroys creation in its production, impoverishes third world countries, and supports oligarchical interests. He wonders why Christians ignore and even revel in unhealthy eating habits and factory farming that runs counter to God''s design. With scripture and Biblical stories, Salatin presents an alternative and shows readers that in appreciating the pigness of pigs, we celebrate the Glory of God.

Inner Traditions Bear and Company The Healing Practices of the Knights Templar and
Book SynopsisA detailed exploration of the remedies and methods used by the healers who journeyed along with the Crusading knights• Presents a traditional “cure-all” or leechbook of the ailments the Crusaders would have encountered and the remedies their mediciners would have employed, including recipes for many cures and instructions • Includes a comprehensive herbal, listing all the medicinal plants and materials needed to make the remedies, potions, elixirs, and unctions of the cure-all • Details the author’s travels in the steps of the Crusader physicians where he met with healers still employing the mediciners’ practices During the Crusades, chivalric knightly orders, such as the Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitaller, brought along monastic mediciners to treat the sick and wounded. These mediciners not only employed the leading cures of medieval Europe but also learned new methods from the local folk-healers and Arabic healing traditions they encountered on their journeys. Presenting a traditional “cure-all” or leechbook of the Crusader physicians, Jon Hughes shares a comprehensive encyclopedia of the ailments the Crusaders would have encountered and the remedies their mediciners would have employed. He details recipes for many cures and a range of magico-medical applications such as charms, spells, enchantments, and amulets used to address the new illnesses of strange and foreign lands. He includes a detailed and comprehensive herbal, listing all the plants and materials needed to make and administer the remedies of the cure-all. He also details his travels in the steps of the Crusader physicians throughout Poland, the Czech Republic, Malta, Morocco, and the island of Rhodes where he met with healers still following this healing path who shared their practices with him.Revealing how the healers of the Crusades helped elevate Western medical knowledge through the integration of wisdom from their Middle Eastern counterparts, Hughes shows how their legacy continues through the many effective remedies and healing modalities still in use today.Trade Review“The Healing Practices of the Knights Templar and Hospitaller by Jon G. Hughes is a well-researched and fascinating look into the healing practices and related medicines of the early Crusaders. What makes this book all the more intriguing is the author’s personal journey of discovery, tracing the footsteps of the Crusaders across southern Europe, North Africa, and the Mediterranean as they made their way to the Holy Land and, hopefully, back again. Jon G. Hughes’s rediscovery of the many medicinal plants and spiritual healings is a journey of enlightenment. It’s also a story of East meets West, in that the warrior-monks adopted many of the Eastern healing practices and carried them back to western Europe. In many cases this knowledge and understanding is still in use some eight hundred years later. I have been waiting for a book of this nature for a very long time.” * William F. Mann, author of The Last Refuge of the Knights Templar *“A truly fascinating investigation into medieval medicine, exploring how the European Crusaders learned of cures and remedies for a variety of aliments from the very people who were meant to be their enemies: the inhabitants of the Holy Land. A wonderful read, well researched, and easy to follow.” * Graham Phillips, author of The Templars and the Ark of the Covenant *“A treasure trove of historic herbal research and lore awaits the reader—a comprehensive herbal, a traditional ‘cure-all’ of medieval ailments and remedies, and a travelogue of the author’s journeys. This book is a useful historical addition to any modern herbalist’s library and for all interested in medieval healing methods; medicine and the monastic and military orders; cross-cultural and interfaith exchanges of unusual cures, botanicals, and specialist herbal lore; the key role of field hospitals on a battlefield; and historic healing recipes ranging from ales, ointments, oils, and much more. Join in the footsteps of the monastic mediciners, Crusader physicians, and the healers of the Crusades and explore this texte vivant, a living text, of herbal lore for our time. Recommended!” * Karen Ralls, Ph.D., historian and author of Knights Templar Encyclopedia and Medieval Mysteries *“An illuminating and well-researched insight into the medicinal knowledge of the Crusader knights, providing an excellent overview of the period as well as the author’s detailed account of his journey across parts of southern Europe and North Africa in search of the remnants of the Templars. The book’s largest section, the cures of the time, provides a sometimes gruesome but fascinating window into their practices. An essential book for those interested in the synthesis of medieval, lost Greco-Roman, and Arab-Turkish ideas that preempted the Renaissance in Europe.” * Luke Eastwood, author of The Druid Garden and The Druid’s Primer *Table of ContentsPreface IntroductionPART I In the Footsteps of the Knights Templar One Morocco and Marrakech TwoThe Greek Island of RhodesThreeThe Island of Malta FourThe Knights Return Home PART II The Crusader Mediciners FiveMedieval Medicine before the Crusades Six The Mediciners and the Crusading Knights SevenThe Leechcrafter’s Ethical Code Eight The Leechcrafter’s Tumbrel PART III The Leechbook of the Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitaller of St. John of Jerusalem Introductory Notes by the Author Nine The Cure-All Many Ailments and Their Remedies Ten The Pharmacopeia Botanicals, Animals, Minerals, and Other Curative Materia Medica Conclusion Index

Guilford Publications Effective Psychotherapists
Book SynopsisWhat is it that makes some therapists so much more effective than others, even when they are delivering the same evidence-based treatment? This instructive book identifies specific interpersonal skills and attitudes--often overlooked in clinical training--that facilitate better client outcomes across a broad range of treatment methods and contexts. Reviewing 70 years of psychotherapy research, the preeminent authors show that empathy, acceptance, warmth, focus, and other characteristics of effective therapists are both measurable and teachable. Richly illustrated with annotated sample dialogues, the book gives practitioners and students a blueprint for learning, practicing, and self-monitoring these crucial clinical skills.Trade Review"This volume should be required reading for anyone entering the mental health professions. Clear, easy to read, and eminently practical, it offers a needed counterbalance to the focus on manuals and therapeutic techniques that characterizes so much of therapist training. The text lays out the basic skills that any therapist, using any model of intervention, needs in order to be effective. What a refreshing perspective! The field of psychotherapy needs the wisdom in this text. We need to be reminded of the basic truth that interventions offered with skilled compassion and empathy are the essence of effective psychotherapy."--Susan M. Johnson, EdD, Professor Emeritus of Clinical Psychology, University of Ottawa, Canada; Distinguished Research Professor, Marital and Family Therapy Program, Alliant International University, San Diego "At long last, a book about the most important factor in psychotherapy--the person who delivers the treatment. And who better to author a book about effective psychotherapists than Miller and Moyers? Discussing the most crucial skills that therapists need to learn, this is a clinically focused presentation with a solid scientific basis. To top it off, Miller and Moyers discuss how the skills should be taught and learned through deliberate practice. This is an invaluable read for any practicing therapist and essential for all trainees. It is a solid supplemental text for a counseling theories course or primary text for a course on basic clinical skills."--Bruce E. Wampold, PhD, ABPP, Department of Counseling Psychology (Emeritus), University of Wisconsin–Madison “If I had a dime for every time I heard a therapist say, ‘The relationship is the most important ingredient in psychotherapy,’ I’d be wealthy. Finally, we have a book that translates this old bromide into clinical skills that actually improve client outcomes. If achieving better results is your professional development objective, Effective Psychotherapists provides the roadmap to success.”--Scott D. Miller, PhD, Director, International Center for Clinical Excellence "Many practitioners conflate therapeutic effectiveness with a full caseload or professional reputation, but, to paraphrase Forrest Gump, effectiveness is as effectiveness does. Here’s a definitive account on how to do effective therapy. Rooted in clinical science and grounded in the therapeutic relationship, this book demonstrates how you can improve your own relationship competencies and thus your outcomes. Cutting-edge science and application that both Carl Rogers and B. F. Skinner would endorse!"--John C. Norcross, PhD, ABPP, Distinguished Professor and Chair of Psychology, University of Scranton "Concise yet thorough, this user-friendly guide will be an excellent primary text for graduate students from multiple disciplines who are learning to be counselors and psychotherapists. Miller and Moyers do a masterful job articulating the essential qualities of the therapist and the critical processes in the therapeutic relationship. This clearly crafted book empowers new behavioral health professionals to master the therapeutic and relationship skills necessary to be effective helpers and healers. It will also serve as a welcome companion for counselors and psychotherapists well into their careers--it offers guidance and pearls of wisdom for collaborating with clients in ways that promote positive change and growth."--Nadine J. Kaslow, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Emory University School of Medicine; past president, American Psychological Association-This is an excellent and timely book. It is well written, well documented, and very compelling in its message. This book should be required reading in any graduate program that trains therapists.--Child and Family Behavior Therapy, 10/28/2021Table of ContentsPreface I. Helping Relationships 1.

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Satanic Bible
Book SynopsisCalled The Black Pope by many of his followers, Anton La Vey began the road to High Priesthood of the Church of Satan when he was only 16 years old and an organ player in a carnival...On Saturday night I would see men lusting after halfnaked girls dancing at the carnival, and on Sunday morning when I was playing the organ for tent-show evangelists at the other end of the carnival lot, I would see these same men sitting in the pews with their wives and children, asking God to forgive them and purge them of carnal desires. And the next Saturday night they''d be back at The carnival or some other place of indulgence.I knew then that the Christian Church thrives on hypocrisy, and that man''s carnal nature will out!From that time early in his life his path was clear. Finally, on the last night of April, 1966?Walpurgisnacht,the most important festival of the believers in witchcraft?LaVey shaved his head in the tradition of Ancient executioners and announced the formation of The Church Of Satan. He had seen the need for a church that would recapture man''s body and his carnal desires as objects of celebration.Since worship of fleshly things produces pleasure, he said, there would then be a temple of glorious indulgence . . .

Many people will be very surprised when they dig deep into the exercises that are elegantly laid out in this journal. They will find the life-force within and learn how to use breath as a tool to self-regulate. -- Amy Wheeler, Ph.D., Board President of the International Association of Yoga Therapists (2018-2020)Pranam to Robin Rothenberg for this remarkable book!

Whether in a training program, continuing education, or individual personal exploration, this brilliant gem is an essential experiential guide for yoga practitioners, yoga teachers and therapists, and healthcare practitioners. -- Aggie Stewart, MA, C-IAYT, Yoga Teacher/Yoga Therapist, former Accreditation Manager at IAYT, and author of Yoga as Self-Care for Healthcare Practitioners: Cultivating Resilience, Compassion, and Empathy.Table of ContentsIntroduction. 1.

One of the world''s leading experts in evolutionary history, Neil Shubin reveals the secrets of our biology: why if we want to understand our limbs we should take a close look at Tiktaalik, the first fish capable of doing a push-up; why if we want to know why we hiccup, the answer is in the way fish breathe; and why it is that fish teeth are surprisingly similar to human breasts.

PCCS Books In Love with Supervision: creating transformative
Book SynopsisRobin and Joan Shohet are pioneers in supervision training for the helping professions. Much more than a manual, this book embodies the heart, soul, spirit and values of their training courses - a golden treasury of insight, wisdom and practical techniques. Its detailed descriptions of their courses apply directly to the work of the helping professions and the therapeutic relationship; what they say apply also to how we all negotiate relationships in our work and our lives. The book opens with the '23 principles' that form the basis of their beliefs about the role and function of supervision. It goes on to describe in detail five of the courses they have been running for some 40 years. These are vivid scripts taken directly from course recordings, bringing to life the interactions, exchanges and relationships played out in the training process. Here we have the Core Course, the Seven-Eyed Model, the Group Supervision Course, the Advanced Course, and the one-day workshop Fear and Love in Supervision. The book ends with a bank of resources drawn from Robin's published writings over the years. These are bold, brave, sometimes raw and always deeply honest accounts of the Shohets' inspirational supervision training - each accompanied by one of Joan's cake recipes.Trade ReviewThis is a breath-taking treasure trove of a book. Robin and Joan share their lives' work in developing, practising and teaching the art of supervision. They describe in detail not only the models they have developed and the principles behind them but how they teach them - right down to the detailed design of their programmes, the exercises and experiments they use - and even the recipes for the cakes Joan bakes for the participants. But not only that. The book is a delightful read - it zings engagingly along, full of stories and vignettes, quotations and anecdotes. One feels privileged to meet the authors in all their humanity - their mistakes as well as their brilliance, their feelings and their experience. I feel deeply appreciative. - Professor Charlotte Sills, Ashridge Business School and Metanoia Institute, London. I shall return to the book regularly in order to savour each reflection and continue learning from the wisdom and humanity contained within it. - Els van Ooijen, psychotherapist, counsellor and supervisor in private practice in Bristol, a former visiting lecturer to the counselling and supervision courses at the University of South Wales, and author of Clinical Supervision Made Easy.Table of ContentsPreface - Michael Carroll.
