Book SynopsisTransforming Generalized Anxiety: An Emotion Focused Approach examines an approach to treating generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) which attempts to uncover the deeper, underlying emotional experiences that clients are afraid of. It also demonstrates how these painful experiences can be transformed in therapy into a form of emotional resilience by generating experiences of self-compassion and healthy, boundary setting, protective anger.Though most of the literature on treating GAD is dominated by Cognitive Behavior Therapy, this book presents emotion-focused therapy as an alternative treatment of this condition. The emotional resilience this particular approach instils serves as a resource when encountering triggers of emotional vulnerability, but also decreases the client's need to avoid hitherto feared triggers and the emotional experiences they bring. Developed in a series of research studies, and illustrated with reference to case examples, this book offers a pracTrade Review‘Take this journey into the dense jungle of clients’ experience of GAD. This wonderful book on how to work therapeutically with the painful emotions of these clients provides a virtual feast of theory, practice, bottom up research and case examples. If you want to deepen your practice with GAD clients you must not miss reading this book. Good for beginners and experienced clinicians alike.’Leslie S. Greenberg, PhD, Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus, Dept. of Psychology, York University, Toronto, Canada‘Building on Timulak’s previous book, Transforming Emotional Pain in Psychotherapy, this book illuminates the extension of Emotion-Focused Therapy to Generalized Anxiety with a high level of clarity and precision, while also staying true to humanistic therapy values and the clinical complexities of a challenging client population. Timulak and McElvaney manage to encompass the different main threads that have emerged in EFT over the past 25 years, while also providing an up-to-date presentation of the latest developments. It is a very impressive achievement.’Robert Elliott, Ph.D., Professor of Counselling, University of Strathclyde, Scotland‘This volume is the innovative development of emotion-focused therapy and may ignite a paradigm shift in the understanding and treatment of GAD that has long been dominated by cognitive-behavioral therapy. What is unique about this book and Timulak and McElvaney’s approach is that every aspect of their treatment model is supported by research findings, which validate its effectiveness and delineate a conceptual framework for tracking client progress to determine when and how to intervene in order to best facilitate emotional transformation…’ Shigeru Iwakabe, PhD, Associate Professor, Human Science Division, Ochanomizu University, Tokyo, JapanTable of ContentsTable of ContentsAcknowledgments – page 4Chapter 1 Introduction – page 6Part 1 – Theoretical UnderpinningsChapter 2 Generalised Anxiety Disorder – page 17 Chapter 3 Emotion-Focused Therapy – page 48Chapter 4 Emotion-Focused Conceptualisation of GAD – Transformation Model – page 72Part 2 – Building Blocks of Delivering EFT for GADChapter 5 Therapeutic Relationship Promoting Emotional Transformation – page 104 Chapter 6 Conceptualising GAD through the Feared Core Pain – page 119Chapter 7 Overcoming Avoidance – Working with Worry – page 141Part 3 – Transformative WorkChapter 8 Accessing and Transforming Core Emotional Pain – page 178Part 4 – Practicalities of Delivering EFT for GADChapter 9 Adapting Therapeutic Strategy – page 251Chapter 10 Incorporating EFT in Therapist’s Repertoire – page 277References – page 286

Book SynopsisWhen the Past Is Always Present: Emotional Traumatization, Causes, and Cures  introduces several new ideas about trauma and trauma treatment. The first of these is that another way to treat disorders arising from the mind/brain may be to use the senses. This idea, which is at the core of psychosensory therapy, forms what the author considers the third pillar of trauma treatment (the first and second pillars being psychotherapy and psychopharmacology). Psychosensory therapy postulates that sensory inputfor example, touchcreates extrasensory activity that alters brain function and the way we respond to stimuli. The second idea presented in this book is that traumatization is encoded in the amygdala only under special circumstances. Thus, by understanding what makes an individual resistant to traumatization we can offer a way of preventing it. The third idea is that traumatization occurs because we cannot find a haven during the event. This is the cornerstonTable of ContentsFeinstein, Foreword. A Third Pillar. The Role Emotions Play.

Book SynopsisArt Therapy for Social Justice seeks to open a conversation about the cultural turn in art therapy to explore the critical intersection of social change and social justice. By moving the practice of art therapy beyond standard individualized treatment models, the authors promote scholarship and dialogue that opens boundaries; they envision cross disciplinary approaches with a focus on intersectionality through the lens of black feminism, womanism, antiracism, queer theory, disability studies, and cultural theory. In particular, specific programs are highlighted that re-conceptualize art therapy practice away from a focus on pathology towards models of caring based on concepts of self-care, radical caring, hospitality, and restorative practice methodologies. Each chapter takes a unique perspective on the concept of care that is invested in wellbeing. The authors push the boundaries of what constitutes art in art therapy, re-conceptualizing notions of care and wellbeing as anTrade Review"Scholars, researchers, educators, and practicing art therapists require a new paradigm. By centralizing the voices of women and art therapists of color, Talwar complicates who art therapy is practiced by and who art therapy is for. Included are theoretical perspectives from a range of disciplines providing a foundation to move the field forward."Yasmine J. Awais, MAAT, ATR-BC, ATCS, LCAT, LPC, Assistant Clinical Professor, College of Nursing and Health Professions, Drexel University"Talwar brings together the voices of art therapists who give shape and meaning to the ‘cultural turn’ in art therapy. Their radical intersections offer colleagues across the arts therapies a language with which to claim and encourage practices centered on social justice, self-reflexivity, care, and wellbeing."Nisha Sajnani, PhD, RDT-BCT, Associate Professor and Director, Drama Therapy Program, New York University "Talwar’s book is timely—art therapy urgently needs to expand notions of helping beyond the therapy room. She and the contributing authors challenge traditional models of pathology and ‘art as healing,’ urge practitioners to question theories and practices that support unjust systems, and motivate the construction of new models of care that examine structures of oppression impacting those we serve.

Book SynopsisUnderstanding the Sexual Betrayal of Boys and Men: The Trauma of Sexual Abuse is an indispensable go-to book for understanding male sexual victimization. It has become increasingly clear since the 1980s that men and boys, like women and girls, are sexually abused and assaulted in alarming numbers. Yet there have been few resources available to victims, their loved ones, or those trying to help them. Richard B. Gartner was in the vanguard of clinicians treating male sexual victimization and has written extensively about it, initially in professional papers, then in his landmark 1999 book for clinicians Betrayed as Boys: Psychodynamic Treatment of Sexually Abused Men, continuing with his 2005 work Beyond Betrayal: Taking Charge of Your Life after Boyhood Sexual Abuse. He has been a tireless teacher, clinician, and advocate for male victims of sexual abuse in the classroom, the lecture hall, and of course the consulting room as well as in newspaper, televiTrade Review"Men’s lives are complicated, despite stereotypes to the contrary. Recognizing and making sense of the challenges faced by male survivors of sexual abuse requires even more complex thinking. We’re very fortunate that Richard Gartner and a who’s who of experts have shared their insights – and the voices of many men they’ve worked with – in order to help professionals better understand and serve these men.

Book SynopsisBrief Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Cancer Patients is a practical, clinical guide that allows for the integration of techniques from multiple newer CBT models, organized around a clear conceptual foundation and case conceptualization. The book targets those cognitive, emotional, and behavioral processes that research suggests are instrumental in the maintenance of human psychological suffering. Author Scott Temple also draws on newer models that build on strengths and resilience and brings clinical work to life through vivid case examples, worksheets, and case conceptualization forms. Detailed vignettes show clinicians how to create a case conceptualization as a guide to treatment, as well as how to integrate Beckian and newer CBT techniques.Trade Review"Deep, thoughtful, and practical, this books explores every wave and corner of the cognitive behavioral tradition in search of the best available methods to empower cancer patients. Not content merely to create a jumbled pile of possibilities, Scott Temple lays out a balanced clinical model that makes sense of old and new methods. The years of devotion put into this effort is evident on every page. While a must read if you work with cancer patients, all CBT clinicians will benefit greatly from it, regardless of wave or corner."Steven C. Hayes, PhD, Foundation Professor of Psychology, University of Nevada"Dr. Temple has written a moving and meaningful book. His humanity and empathy shine through in his writing. Setting aside the considerable utility of the text in describing work with such patients, the work also masterfully explains the key principles of modern-day CBT and incorporates perspectives from ACT, DBT, and MBCT that amplify and enhance the original model. Vivid case examples and clear summaries make the principles easy to grasp; this is a must read!"Donna M. Sudak, MD, professor of psychiatry, senior associate training director, and director of psychotherapy training at the Drexel University College of Medicine and past president of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy"This book provides a unique blend of scholarly and clinical information on all aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy. It is extremely well written and thoroughly edited. I greatly enjoyed reading it and I strongly recommend this book to all healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with cancer."Eduardo Bruera, MD, FT McGraw Chair in the Treatment of Cancer and chair of the Department of Palliative, Rehabilitation, & Integrative medicine at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center"In this excellent book, Dr. Temple gives invaluable clinical guidance to those suffering from cancer. His expert advice is rooted in modern CBT and delivered in a compassionate and engaging style. This makes it an important, much needed, and enduring contribution to the literature. The many worksheets, case conceptualizations, and case examples provide patients with concrete tools to relieve some of the suffering and despair. I highly recommend it."Stefan G. Hofmann, PhD, professor of psychological and brain sciences at Boston University and author of Emotion in Therapy: From Science to Practice "Integrating the best of traditional models of CBT with exciting new developments in the field to develop a coherent treatment approach is no easy project, especially when focusing on the multifaceted issue of cancer. Scott Temple has masterfully accomplished this task, providing a guide that is based in solid theory and research while being clinically useful and highly accessible. This book will be an invaluable resource for any health professional helping people cope with cancer."James D. Herbert, PhD, dean, executive vice provost, and professor of psychology at the Drexel University Graduate College"Helping cancer patients face their psychological suffering is a huge challenge. Based on a sound case conceptualization principle, Scott Temple addresses this challenge in the best conceivable manner, bringing to therapists of any persuasion a clear and organized text that integrating perspectives from the traditional Beckian CBT and the newer CBT approaches and is richly illustrated with case vignettes.
