The volume is produced by the group of research clinicians who carried out the clinical trials and research work in developing cognitive therapy for anxiety disorders at Oxford... Both the wealth of clinical experience within a research framework and their teaching expertise are evident from this publication... In total, the book represents a considerable achievement and a tribute to the extent of CBT expertise within Oxford and the ability of this extended team to work together within a coherent framework. * British Journal of Clinical Psychology *\u003cbr\u003eEach chapter follows a systematic structure, making the book extremely accessible for the busy clinician who will find it easy to use as a resource in the clinic... It becomes apparent that in the hands of the Oxford group, the behavioural experiment becomes a very flexible tool, applicable to more open-ended enquiry as well as precise disconfirmation of predictions and capable of having impact upon all levels of cognition from the specific to the most general and abstract... The book has a much more clinical feel than many other CBT texts: the balance between theory and practice is much more weighted towards the latter; there is more acknowledgement of difficulties and complexities presented by patients in real life and therefore the attitude conveyed shows more humility in the face of such difficulties, making frequent references to therapists' needs for supervision, and so forth, while still conveying enthusiasm and optimism. * British Journal of Clinical Psychology *\u003cbr\u003eThis book offers an excellent practical guide in how to carry out effective behavioural experiments...

This book is the best accessible overview by someone who knows by experience, and can guide others whether they choose to be involved with entheogens personally or seek to simply to understand others who do.

It is an immersive experience, which provides an opportunity for those unfamiliar with nonordinary states of consciousness to catch a glimpse of their beauty and power. William A. Richards seamlessly weaves together his extensive understanding of spirituality on the one hand and academic and clinical science on the other – a rare combination. His humour, insights, and empathy shine through on every page. The topic is timely and a manifestation of the fact that the intellectual battle regarding the potential of nonordinary states of consciousness (as, in this case, facilitated by psychedelics) has been won. -- Amanda Feilding, director, Beckley Foundation\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSacred Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e provides the most comprehensive overview of the actual use of psychedelics in psychotherapy and of the transformative power of mystical experiences. -- Torsten Passie, Hannover Medical School\u003cbr\u003eThis is a wonderful book and couldn't have been launched at a more auspicious time. As William A. Richards has portrayed so beautifully, psychedelics provide an experience of total sanity and give a glimpse of a deeper, more heart-centred, and universal spiritual reality. In my opinion everyone should read this book, not just researchers, theologians, and philosophers but also the ordinary person in society. As society becomes more and more degraded, the planet more and more polluted, and the natural world destroyed, the truth of what the great mystic Krishnamurthy said, 'It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society,' will become ever more apparent. Increasingly I find more and more people are asking at a deeper level 'why am I here? 'What is this life about? What is it all for'? The sane answer to many of these questions is to be found in this book. -- Ivor Browne, University College Dublin\u003cbr\u003eA practitioner and professor, Richards writes as a guide into the depths of psychedelic spirituality in an attempt to bring entheogens—substances that 'generate the divine within'—back into the mainstream. * Publishers Weekly *\u003cbr\u003eRichards is a generous and gregarious writer, who avoids platitudes for a mix of hard evidence, anecdotal stories, and memoir-like ruminations...

D. Laing never lived to write.  In the last two years of Laing's life, he recorded hundreds of hours of conversation with Robert Mullan in which he was determined to be as frank and open as possible, and equally determined to 'put the record straight'.  R. D. Laing wrote a number of books during the 1960s which rocked the foundations of conventional psychiatry and galvanized the imagination of millions of ordinary readers.  His views were against the grain of conventional psychiatry - his existential approach to madness was controversial, and his work brought into focus matters of individual liberty and the importance of the social context of 'illness'.  The greatest accusation he suffered was that he idealised mental misery - something he consistently denied.  Mad to be Normal presents Laing's own words, about his work and about his life.  It is the most complete record on Laing, by Laing.Entertaining, maddening, surprising, impressive, occasionally scurrilous, and evoking a compelling portrait of the heady and sometimes self-regarding mood of the 1960s and early l970s, this books necessitates a reassessment of Laing and his work; work which is part of a lengthier and on-going process concerned with the routine care of those disturbed in mind.","brand":"Free Association Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48868976001367,"sku":"9781911383079","price":29.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781911383079.jpg?v=1722290639"},{"product_id":"mending-the-mind-9781474610827","title":"Mending the Mind","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e''A tour de force . . . an important, affecting and effective book'' ALASTAIR CAMPBELL\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e''[A] gorgeous and urgent book'' STEVEN PINKER\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e''MENDING THE MIND reminds us that, despite our hazy understanding of depression, and despite the true horror of the illness, some hope for recovery remains'' \u003ci\u003eTHE TIMES\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSadness is an inevitable part of life, but for most people it will usually alternate or coexist with happy times.

It would make a welcome addition to reading lists for low-intensity training programmes, and to service, or personal, libraries and bookshelves for those working as, with, or alongside low-intensity practitioners. The fact it is written by James and Liz, who are so experienced in low-intensity practice themselves is an added joy. The book is an accessible insight for those who have not worked as low-intensity practitioners themselves, with plenty of reference to wider research and underpinning policy. For those who have worked, or are currently working or training in the field, this book is the equivalent of a helpful conversation with a knowledgeable, supportive, experienced colleague who will ask the right questions, cover the relevant topics, and challenge you to dig a bit deeper. James and Liz write wonderfully, and hit that perfect balance between a well-researched academic text and an accessible guide that tells it as it is.\" -- Kirsty McNeilis, Specialist Lecturer and Unit Lead on the Children and Young People's Wellbeing Practitioner (CWP) PG Diploma at the Greater Manchester Psychological Therapies Training Centre (GMPTTC), Programme Lead on the Enhanced Evidence-Based Practice (EEBP) Programme at the GMPTTC   \"Working in health care services requires a wholly pragmatic approach which combines clinical best practice, operational guidelines and an understanding that real people (staff and our clients) do not neatly fit into boxes. This book fits beautifully into that space and is much needed for those working in low intensity roles and balancing what they have learned in training and what they see in clinical practice. Liz and James are experts in their field and bring experience and real-world knowledge together in a way that is easy to read and supportive to practitioners at all stages of their low intensity careers.\" – Dr. Sarah Watts, Clinical Director, Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Talking Therapies Service, Midlands Partnership Foundation Trust   \"This is a detailed and considered exploration of what it really means to deliver LI therapies. The personal reflections and practice specific examples remind of the importance of working inclusively, and of the human connections which are at the heart of all helping and healing.   An informative, engaging and thought provoking read for any practitioner.\" – Dr Orla McDevitt-Petrovic, Lecturer in Psychology, Ulster University   \"This book offers gritty, honest insights into the realities of working as a Low Intensity Therapist and forms a useful survival guide for trainees as well as anyone currently working, or considering working, in IAPT\/NHS Talking Therapies. Presenting a nuanced, critical examination of key aspects of this healthcare service model, it is an essential resource for anyone interested in reflecting on IAPT\/NHS Talking Therapies and the impact on the wider psy-sector in the UK and beyond. There is a timely exploration of important issues, including therapist burnout; the intersection of social deprivation and mental health; clinical realities around attempting to measure therapeutic outcomes; and adapting therapies for the needs of socially minoritized groups.\" – Dr. Sarah Cantwell, Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and Counsellor, Researcher, Founding member of IAPT Workers Café   \"This is a much-needed resource for Low Intensity Trainees, Practitioners, Supervisors and Educators written from the Perspective of Low Intensity Practitioners. It provides an insightful and comprehensive, yet accessible, overview of the current context of Low Intensity Psychological Therapy. It covers key topics such as describing ‘Low Intensity’, discussing our role within Multidisciplinary Teams and inclusive ways of working, to mention a few. It also doesn’t shy away from key dilemmas and difficult topics, which are often avoided or skirted around. The case vignettes, personal experience and current literature ensure the content is engaging.\" -- Taf Kunorubwe, CBT Therapist in Private Practice \u0026amp; Programme Director for the Postgraduate Certificate in CBT Skills at the University of South Wales   \"This is an outstanding book that will be of significant interest to PWP and low intensity practitioners and students, academics and those in the wider field of CBT. It is beautifully written in an accessible and easy-to-understand style; very well researched with fabulous insights cushioned by the most up-to-date research and follows a structure that provides scaffolding for the reader to deepen their understanding while enjoying the journey.\" -- Dr. Paul Sullivan, Reader in Psychology, Dept. of Psychology, University of Bradford  \"In 1944, Winston Churchill said, \"The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.\" The historical context of the Wellbeing Practitioners suggests that the journey has only started. Unquestionably, in England, the IAPT impact has been phenomenal, on multiple levels. What is arguable, is the value and at what cost. The execution of the initiative into clinical delivery needed to be responsive and reactionary. Consistency in dynamic mental health services will rub against the finite resources in health economics. Authoritatively our authors applaud the virtues of IAPT and PWP’s role wrapped around statutory services; with brave openness, they provide an experiential critical analysis that might be uncomfortable reading for some. This compelling book will inform a much-needed sensible debate, essential in a dynamic evolving modern health care system. From future trainees, wellbeing practitioners, service managers, clinical leads, and commissioners, to policymakers in England and nations beyond, all will find this book accessible, comprehensive and an essential point of reference to what comes next.\" -- Lee Grant, Clinical Director, Onebright Efficacy; Board Trustee, British Association for Behavioural \u0026amp; Cognitive Psychotherapies   \"An innovative new light on low intensity psychological therapies. Finally, low intensity therapy is no longer at the bottom of a hierarchy of superior therapies. This book credits low intensity therapy as its own entity, with something unique and different to offer. It provides clinical guidance for Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners that highlights the challenges this profession continues to face, as well as it’s valuable successes in primary care mental health services. A must read for any clinician, trainee or academic working in the field of NHS Talking Therapies (formerly IAPT)\". -- Laura Stevenson, Programme Director for Low Intensity Psychological Therapies, Newcastle University   \"With this book, the authors have managed to capture a side of low-intensity work rarely discussed formally: the actual reality of the day to day work of thousands of Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners across England, and beyond. In some ways a reflection of how far we’ve come, and in others a call to arms, there is a tone throughout that invites conversation and ways for practitioners to become more involved with the discussion about the work they do. The book also offers useful insights into advanced practice, such as long-term conditions work, supervision and therapeutic relationships. Ultimately, it reads as a passionate manifesto for an emerging profession.\" -- Samantha Torney, Lead Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner \"I am delighted to finally have a book that conceptualises and brings to the forefront the benefits and value of low intensity interventions to both patients and the overall healthcare system.  The specific theories of ideas, techniques and practice are not something easily documented when it comes to outcomes and improvements in a person’s quality of life.  However, in this book, we see many examples of the immense beneficial changes to patients through shared learning.   One of the many things in particular that resonate is the focus of the importance of the integration with existing healthcare pathways especially when recognising the overlap between mental and physical health and wellbeing and one of the reasons this often fails to happen is the lack of acknowledgement for the benefits of low intensity interventions.  Many guidelines put them into the category of self-help which often lacks evidence-based research – something which prevents healthcare professionals from acknowledging within clinical pathways.  Here we have such a powerful tool evidenced recognising symptoms which are real to patients living with long-term conditions.\" -- Professor Sonio Cottom, Director, Pain Association, Scotland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.

These fields have ushered in new insights about causal models by thinking about how to represent causal structure mathematically, in a framework that uses graphs and probability theory to develop what are called ''causal Bayesian networks''.

It will provide an excellent entry into this field for students, researchers, or interested general readers.\" --Joshua B. Tenenbaum, Paul E. Newton Career Development Professor, Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology \"In the last 15 years, there has been a quiet revolution in how we model, understand, and learn about the causal structure of the world. Having started in philosophy and computer science, but now vital in psychology and statistics, the causal revolution has been slowed by the conspicuous absence of a truly readable book-length introduction. Fortunately, Steve Sloman has now written one. In a book that includes all the key ideas behind causal modeling but none of the tedious technical details, hundreds of worked examples ranging from marketing to arithmetic, and dozens of applications ranging from how we categorize the world to how we might be evolved to learn about its causal structure, Sloman has made a difficult subject exciting and simple.\" --Richard Scheines, Professor of Philosophy, Carnegie Mellon University \"The scientific analysis of causal systems has become much more sophisticated with recent developments in computer science, statistics, and philosophy during the past decade. For the first time, we have available a comprehensive formal language in which to represent complex causal systems and which can be used to define normative solutions to causal inference and judgment problems. Steven Sloman's book makes these important developments easily accessible to the reader, as well as presenting many of his own exciting applications of these new ideas in behavioral studies of learning and judging causal relationships. This well-written book is full of profound insights and fascinating results. Anyone who wants to know what's going on at the cutting edge of cognitive science should read it.\" --Reid Hastie, Professor of Behavioral Science, University of Chicago \"The field of Bayesian causal models is becoming increasingly important for theory building in cognitive science. This book provides an lively and lucid introduction to the core concepts, and weaves them together with the latest research on causality and related topics from the cognitive sciences. Elegant and entertaining.\" --Nick Chater, Director of the Institute for Applied Cognitive Science and Professor of Psychology, University of Warwick \"Sloman has written an accessible, popular-level book that will serve as a useful general introduction to the tricky and complex issues involved in understanding causality and its role in cognitive processing. For people who are unfamiliar with the issues and the research involved, this is a good starting point, although parts may require thoughtful rereadings. For people who are generally familiar with the issues but not the recent research or theoretical conceptions (e.g., the use of counterfactuals), this book can serve as a useful guide to update one's knowledge. People who are actively working in this area will probably find this book a quick and enjoyable read.\"--Michael Palij, PsycCRITIQUES \"Steven Sloman's Causal Models is the first broadly accessible book to survey an important and growing field of cognitive research: how people understand the causal structure of their world, and the role of causal understanding in all aspects of thinking, perceiving and acting.
