Jessica Kingsley Publishers How to Break Bad News to People with Intellectual
Book SynopsisThis book offers unique and flexible guidelines that can be used by practitioners to ease the process of breaking bad news to people with intellectual disabilities. The guidelines, which are adaptable to individual communication ability and level of understanding, address the many complex needs of people with intellectual disabilities who can find understanding and accepting news that has a negative impact on their life a very difficult task. In the book, Irene Tuffrey-Wijne covers a range of different types of bad news, from bereavement and illness to more minor issues such as a change of accommodation, and offers highly practical and effective tips that will help carers and practitioners ensure that bad news is relayed as sensitively and successfully as possible.An easy-to-use and comprehensive guide, this book will be an invaluable resource of information for carers, health professionals such as doctors and nurses as well as families of people with intellectual disabilities.Trade ReviewThis is an excellent book. It is thought provoking, and well-structured. It enables the reader to develop better insights into the impact of receiving bad news, not just for people with learning disabilities, but also in mainstream life. It deserves a place on everyone's bookshelf. -- Bereavement CareIrene Tuffrey-Wijne has written a thoroughly researched and clinically sound primer on how to break important, life-changing news to people with intellectual disabilities...This is a wise book deeply embedded in scholarly research and direct patient care and I commend it to everyone concerned about someone with intellectual disability and their future. -- Baroness Sheila Hollins, Professor of the Psychiatry of Learning Disability at St George's, University of London, and a crossbench life peer in the House of LordsI found this book a pleasurable read, despite the delicate subject matter. It is clearly written and is full of examples that are instantly recognisable in my daily practice. The book highlights the importance of helping clients understand bad news situations regardless of their level of intellectual disability, and proves how including a client's support network in the process can be crucial in ensuring that bad news is successfully relayed. Practical and easily accessible, this book finally provides us with a set of solid guidelines to support our practice! -- Marja Oud, palliative care lead and unit manager in a residential facility for people with intellectual disabilities, NetherlandsAs a parent, I wish I had been able to use this book by Dr Irene Tuffrey-Wijne when my daughter was slowly dying. Her guidelines are realistic, reassuring and rooted in a deep understanding of the highly individual needs of people with intellectual disabilities. It makes total sense to me that breaking bad news is a process, not an event. It demonstrates that it is possible to support someone with intellectual disabilities to come to terms with painful issues. -- Jan Sunman, parent carer and participant in Dr Irene Tuffrey -Wijne's researchTable of ContentsForeword by Professor Baroness Sheila Hollins.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Counselling and Reflexive Research in Healthcare:
Book SynopsisWritten for counsellors working in healthcare settings who want to develop their knowledge and undertake research, this book explores the range of benefits that can be generated by undertaking reflexive research. Focusing on the condition of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), which she has herself, Gillian Thomas demonstrates how this approach can develop knowledge of a condition, but also offer therapeutic benefits to clients by increasing understanding of their condition and the interaction between the physical and emotional aspects of living with a long term disease. She outlines how to develop ethically appropriate research methods, how to carry out reflexive research and reflects on the knowledge that she has gained from her own research, teasing out its benefits for those working with a range of diseases in healthcare settings.This book will be valued by counsellors and other professionals working in healthcare settings, particularly those working with ongoing medical conditions.Trade ReviewInspirational is a word which I find is often overused when it comes to book reviews, however, on this ocassion, I must begrudgingly agree with Kim Etherington's declaration in her foreword that this indeed is an inspirational book, and I would especially recommend it for those engaged in research requiring the management of research paradoxes such as those dealt with here. -- Sara Edwards, Chronic IllnessThe condition of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has a long history of misdiagnosis, misunderstanding and misconceptions. This book shines a revealing light on a subject that has for too long been hidden away in a dark corner. Extremely useful for anyone working with clients who have any form of long-term disease. -- HCPJ April 2009If this book helps medical professionals see patients as people, it will have been extremely wothwhile. -- Therapy TodayA rare exemplar of counselling practitioner-research in an NHS setting, this work is a readable and engaging resource for anybody who wants to know more about being a counsellor or practitioner-researcher with people with chronic illness, or about the needs of people who have inflammatory bowel disease, whether as a person diagnosed with these conditions, health worker, family member, or service provider. -- Kim Etherington PhD, Professor of Narrative and Life Story Research, University of BristolTable of ContentsPreface.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Raus aus der Ohnmacht: Das Konzept Neue Autorität
Book SynopsisHeutzutage sind Schulen mit ganz anderen Aufgaben und Anforderungen konfrontiert. Wissensvermittlung ist zu einem Teilbereich geworden, die Förderung sozialer und personaler Kompetenzen rückt dagegen mehr und mehr ins Zentrum. Auch Eltern sind heute kritischer und stellen die Autorität von Lehrpersonen schnell einmal infrage. Traditionelle erzieherische Vorstellungen und Methoden sind nicht mehr legitim oder bleiben bei den Schülern und Schülerinnen oft wirkungslos. Es ist kein Geheimnis, dass die alltäglichen Auseinandersetzungen im Klassenzimmer einer der gewichtigsten Gründe für Lehrpersonen sind, ein Burnout zu erleiden oder den Beruf zu wechseln. Umso wichtiger werden Fragen wie etwa: Wie schaffen Schulen eine gute Lernatmosphäre, wie kann auffälligen Kindern und Jugendlichen Respekt beigebracht werden, wie werden Ruhe und Sicherheit erreicht? 'Raus aus der Ohnmacht' heißt die Devise für Lehrerinnen und Lehrer. In diesem Buch findet sich eine geballte Ladung an Erfahrung und systematischem Vorgehen mit und nach den Prinzipien der Neuen Autorität. Die vielen Beispiele belegen auf eindrückliche Weise, wie wirksam und entlastend ihre Anwendung ist.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Anxiety Management in Adult Day Surgery: A
Book SynopsisThe book is the first of its kind to specifically outline the psycho-educational nursing interventions required by the anxious, adult patient undergoing elective, ambulatory surgery. Anxiety management is a considerable issue for the majority of surgical patients and has been recognised as such for many decades. However, no formal nursing intervention currently exists to support patients during this acute phase. This book is one of the first to provide strong evidence for the way in which patients can be assisted in the management of their anxiety. Moreover, it provides future direction for surgical nursing intervention in this new era of minimal invasive surgery where patients undergoing elective procedures increasingly require less physical nursing intervention and spend very little time within the acute hospital setting.Table of Contents21st Century: A Time for Change.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Motivation stärken in Therapie und Beratung: Ein Praxisbuch
Book SynopsisDieses Praxismanual zeigt Psychotherapeuten und Beratern, wie sie ihre Klienten zu einer Veränderung motivieren können. „Warum will der denn bloß nicht?“ Diese Frage stellt sich häufig bei der Arbeit mit Klienten, scheint doch eine Veränderung von außen betrachtet oft sinnvoll und erfolgversprechend zu sein.

Book SynopsisThe emotional highs and lows of competitive sport, whether experienced as a competitor, spectator or coach may be the essential ingredient that gives sport its universal and compelling appeal.

The interplay between emotion and coping is a critical factor in determining, through its influence on key psychological functions, an athleteâs potential success in competitive sport. This fully revised and updated edition of the classic text on coping and emotion in sport goes further than any other book in examining the central role that these two factors play in sports performance.The book explores theory and measurement, current research, and contemporary issues and special populations respectively. Each chapter closely integrates cutting-edge research themes with discussion of practical and applied issues, with case studies and reflections from practitioners working in elite sport woven throughout the book. With contributions from leading international scholars and consultant psychologists, this book is vital reading for all students and professionals working in sport psychology.Table of ContentsForeword.

Oxford University Press Inc Counseling Persons with Parkinsons Disease
Book SynopsisWhat is it like to live with a chronic illness? How can counselors support those living with one? Allan Hugh Cole Jr. offers answers to these two questions and so many more in Counseling Persons with Parkinson''s Disease. In ten succinct chapters, Cole offers a glimpse into life with Parkinson''s and presents an insightful approach to counseling someone living with a chronic illness. Cole was diagnosed with Parkinson''s Disease in 2016, and--though it hardly happened overnight--he has since discovered a new passion and drive for life. A teacher of social workers and counselors for many years, Cole has unique insight into chronic illness and the care required to help someone diagnosed with one. He delves into the importance of accepting a chronic illness and how this can create an opportunity for personal transformation, newfound meaning, and rejuvenated purpose. In addition to emphasizing the importance of self-reflection, he also offers evidence-based approaches to counseling. Cole''s approaches to counseling draw on task-centered social work practice. Throughout the book, he engages with five purposeful actions tied to principles of constructivism, Aristotelian thought, American pragmatism, and theories of interpretation (hermeneutics). At once informative, realistic, humorous, and hopeful, this is a thoughtful guide for clinicians who give counsel, educators who teach counseling, people supporting someone else, and anyone living with a chronic illness.Trade ReviewThis book provides a thoughtful balance between personal narrative and clinical guidance on how to help someone through the losses associated with Parkinson's disease. * T. A. Babb, CHOICE *This book provides a comprehensive introduction to Parkinson's disease (PD) and is a detailed manual for Loss-Based Counseling (LBC) for working with persons with Parkinson's disease (PwP). [It] also includes powerful, inspiring, and extremely informative first-person accounts of Dr. Cole's personal journey following his diagnosis of young-onset (i.e., <50 years of age) PD in late 2016. The book alternates between chapters that provide these personal accounts and chapters that provide the foundations and details of LBC. Dr. Cole's unique, dual perspectives as a social work educator and as a PwP make this book exceptionally well-suited for preparing social work professionals to assist people with PD or other chronic and progressive illness as they cope with a series of life-altering losses. * Namkee G. Choi, Steve Hicks School of Social Work University of Texas at Austin, Journal of Gerontological Social Work *In this unique and enlightening book, Professor Allan Cole tells his story of life with young-onset Parkinson's disease while guiding counselors on how best to understand, support, and empower persons living with this illness. His adept knowledge of both Parkinson's and counseling approaches, paired with his honesty, vulnerability, strength, and hope, models work in the health humanities at its best. I highly recommend this book to physicians, counselors, persons living with Parkinson's, and to those who offer them support and care. * Bastiaan R. Bloem, M.D., Ph.D., Medical Director, Department of Neurology at Radbound University Medical Center, Nijmegen, Netherlands *Inspired by decades of existential searching and emotional learning, Allan Cole turns inward as he reflects on the meaning of a new diagnosis for him, Parkinson's disease, and what it might mean for others as well. This book is as personal as it is informative. More than a pathography, readers will learn the latest information on this disease as well as effective strategies for counseling people with it. It is insightful, heart-breaking, authentic, and hopeful. * Nathan Carlin, Ph.D, Samuel Karff Chair and Professor at McGovern Medical School in Houston, Texas *Dr. Allan Cole has written a poignant first-person account of living with Parkinson's full of intimacy and insight. His personal story and professional wisdom as a social worker combine to offer the reader an unprecedented guide through the life of a person with Parkinson's (PwP). This book should be essential reading for all counselors and caregivers wishing to support PwP. The personal narrative is inspirational and pulls you directly into the lived experience of a young man facing a new diagnosis and trying to create meaning for himself and his family. Cole then introduces us to a new short-term counseling approach, which is both evidence-based and deeply personal. This book is hard to put down, beautifully written and full of vulnerability, humor, and wisdom. I will be recommending this book to all of my staff and students. * Barbara L. Jones, PhD, MSW, FNAP, Chair, Department of Health Social Work, Dell Medical School, The University of Texas at Austin *A distinct, practical, and philosophically sound approach to counseling those with Parkinson's disease. As a seasoned teacher of counselors who also lives with Parkinson's, Allan Cole knows firsthand of what he writes. Equal parts memoir and professional resource, his authenticity is refreshing; his insights, profound; his writing, elegant. An important book for clinicians who provide counsel and for educators who teach counseling. * Harold G. Koenig, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry at Duke University School of Medicine *Parkinson's disease is the fastest growing neurological illness in the world. This thoughtfully written, must-read book effectively provides a framework for those that may be in a position to counsel people impacted by living with Parkinson's or any chronic, progressive illness. Allan Cole is able to personalize the theory being taught in a way that is extremely engaging, touching, and relevant. By sharing his personal experiences in such an honest, candid way, he gives all of us insights into the lived experience and emotional toll this disease takes, as well as the perseverance and the hope we need for the future. * Soania Mathur, M.D., Co-Chair, Patient Council, The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research *Counseling Persons with Parkinson's Disease is a book that is a necessary addition to one's professional library. It is also a volume that patients can read, reflect upon, underline, and go back to when they feel a bit disoriented by what they are going through. As I relaxed with, and reflected upon, its content and spirit I thought to myself: This is what sound psychosocial information should be all about—simple, heart-felt, informative, and prepared in order to make life better for those in pain. * Robert J.
