The authors blend trauma-informed practice and recent research on critical race theory, cultural humility, and intersectionality to both broaden mental health professionalsâ conceptualization of disenfranchised grief and its impacts and promote equity and inclusion among populations that have been marginalized.Trade Review"A thoughtful, compelling, and much-needed deeper dive into the world of disenfranchised grief, this volume is a handbook for a wide audience that should include clinicians, students, and academics familiar with or new to the topic.

This volume, edited by Turner and Stauffer, should be on the shelf of every clinician working with grieving individuals. As a Counselor Educator who has taught a grief counseling course for over twenty years, this book addresses a myriad of topics left out by other books, such as intersectionality and grief; COVID and disenfranchised loss; the impact of disenfranchised loss on the body; racial trauma; spiritual trauma; and how disenfranchised grief impacts communities, such as the LGBTQIA+ community, folks with disabilities, African Americans, and military families. This book is a welcome addition to the existing grief literature and will help counselors and mental health professionals learn more about death and non-death losses as they bring care and compassion to those who have experiences grief on the fringes."Michael M. Kocet assistant vice chancellor for graduate education at the University of Colorado, Denver, member of the AADA Grief Competencies Taskforce, and editor of Counseling Gay Men, Adolescents, and Boys"Disenfranchised grief is so often unattended and disregarded in clinical work.

In nine very readable chapters, they have mined their field for the gold nuggets—surprising, practical principles derived from many of the best studies in their specialty. The book sparkles with examples...Even though I've taught psychology courses for decades, the authors surprised me repeatedly with these kinds of practical guidelines...Read, be surprised and become wiser.’ -- Robert Epstein, senior research psychologist, American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, Scientific American‘Two of the world’s most brilliant social psychologists have distilled the field’s wisdom into a few essential lessons for understanding the fabric of our everyday lives. This is the essential lecture that you never heard in college. Don’t miss it a second time.’ -- Daniel Gilbert, professor of psychology at Harvard University and bestselling author of Stumbling on Happiness‘“Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?” Beginning with that George Carlin one-liner, Thomas Gilovich and Lee Ross embark on a deep examination of how we all misperceive the people around us. This is a fun book—you'll recognize your own blunders, and those of friends, on almost every page—and also a practical one.

If you want to be wiser, happier, and more successful (and who doesn't), this book is a must read.’ -- Sonja Lyubomirsky, professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside and bestselling author of The How of Happiness“Essential reading for politicians and leaders of all kinds.

Book SynopsisA paradigm-shifting, integrative approach to understanding body movement The ability to move with efficiency and agility has been an essential component to our evolution and survival as a species. It has enabled us to find food, fight threats, flee danger, and flourish both individually and collectively. Our body’s intricate network of bones, muscles, tissues, and organs moves with great complexity. While traditional anatomy has relied on a reductionist frame for understanding these mechanisms in isolation, the contributors to Movement Integration take a more systemic, integrative approach. Ensomatosy is a new paradigm for comprehending movement from the perspective of the body s entirety. The body's many systems are understood as synchronized both internally and externally. Drawing on expertise in physiotherapy, somatics, sports science, Rolfing, myofascial therapy, craniosacral therapy, Pilates, and yoga, the authors assert that a more comprehensive understanding of movement is key to restoring the body s natural ability to move fluidly and painlessly. With over 150 colour images, the Color Illustration Model provides a visual tool for understanding how joints interact with surrounding structures (rather than in isolation). This is an ideal book for physiotherapists, massage therapists, structural integrators, coaches, as well as yoga and Pilates instructors.

Book SynopsisEffective leadership and management in health and social care are built on good practice, strong relationships and a critical understanding of the wider context in which care takes place. Leading, Managing, Caring illustrates how leadership and management work in everyday settings, providing invaluable support to those practising or studying in the area. The book introduces the four core building blocks of the caring manager or leader: personal awareness, team awareness, goal awareness and contextual awareness. Together these form a firm foundation for understanding and practice. Drawing on up-to-date case studies, the authors explore how critical theoretical understanding can support practical attempts to work through complex situations with a diverse range of people. Also included is a toolkit containing carefully selected and practical tools for leading and managing change. This comprehensive textbook is suitable for existing and aspiring managers and leaders in a range of health and social care professions, or anyone interested in understanding more about the complex landscape in which care services are managed and delivered in the UK.Trade Review'This book is quite ground-breaking in management literature, particularly as it is applied in management of care. It brings many values and approaches from a wide range of professional fields, but keeps a perspective on the responsibilities of a manager to their employers as well as to service users. It has a fresh and confident voice that will be very encouraging and inspiring for new and experienced managers. Few texts make these ideas as accessible as this book does.' – Vivien Martin, University of Brighton, UKTable of Contents1.
