Book SynopsisTrauma-Informed Practices With Children and Adolescents is a sourcebook of practical approaches to working with children and adolescents that synthesizes research from leading trauma specialists and translates it into easy-to-implement techniques. The approaches laid out address the sensory and somatic experiences of trauma within structured formats that meet the best practices criteria for trauma-informed care: safety, self-regulation, trauma integration, healthy relationships, and healthy environments. Each chapter contains short excerpts, case examples, and commentary relevant to the chapter topic from recognized leaders in the field of trauma intervention with children and adolescents. In addition to this, readers will find chapters filled with easily applied activities, methods, and approaches to assessment, self-regulation, trauma integration, and resilience-building. The book''s structured yet comprehensive approach provides professionals with the resources they needTrade Review"This book, a collection of writings by more than 20 professionals of different origin, introduces a particular and authentic therapeutic approach in dealing with traumatized children and adolescents. Breaking the mould and taking interdisciplinarity as a basis, the authors give a profound introduction into the ‘‘holistic’’ experience of trauma in young individuals. …All in all, it took me a bit of time to work through this book, but now I confidently want to recommend its lecture. It may serve not only as a guideline for specialists, but also as a reference book for those who repeatedly come in contact with this complex theme of childhood trauma or alternatively intend to get more specialized in it."—Eur Child Adolesc Psychiatry (2013)"Trauma-Informed Practices With Children and Adolescents deepens clinicians’ understanding of the effects of trauma on children and adolescents. It effectively translates the theory into helpful practice strategies, with an emphasis on the use of expressive therapies. Case vignettes and commentaries from noted trauma experts, in addition to the extensive experience of the authors, help make this book an in-depth exploration of helping practices that acknowledge individual resiliency and the possibility of transformative growth after trauma." —Nancy Boyd Webb, DSW, LICSW, RPT-S, distinguished professor of social work emerita at Fordham University"Trauma-Informed Practices With Children and Adolescents is an essential resource for any treatment provider committed to using effective assessment and intervention strategies in work with traumatized youth. The wisdom within this work will support the care of many trauma-exposed youths for years to come." —Robert Foltz, PsyD, assistant professor of clinical psychology at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology"Now perceived as mainstream, the use of trauma-informed practices with children was pioneered years ago by Steele and Malchiodi. Their new book is a gift for those interested in the history and best practices with children and their families." —Charles R. Figley, PhD, the Paul Henry Kurzweg Distinguished Chair in Disaster Mental Health at Tulane University"William Steele and Cathy Malchiodi are seasoned and respected clinicians, trainers, teachers, and researchers in the fields of art therapy and counseling. In Trauma-Informed Practices With Children and Adolescents, they have done a great service to the community of providers who respond to the needs of traumatized children and adolescents in family, agency, school, and community settings. This is an integrated guide to assessment and intervention, one that demonstrates best practices that go beyond cognitive interventions to reach children at a sensory level, helping them to feel more safe, empowered, in control of themselves, and related to others. This book should be used in all mental-health training programs." —Susan Gere, PhD, director, division of counseling and psychology, Lesley University"This book was really helpful for me in its clarity of purpose, offering many opportunities for fuure study and a reminder to trust my clients and hold hope." - Tracey Richardson, British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Children & Young People, June 2012"This book, a collection of writings by more than 20 professionals of different origin, introduces a particular and authentic therapeutic approach in dealing with traumatized children and adolescents.

Taylor & Francis PsychedelicAssisted EMDR Therapy
Book SynopsisPsychedelic-Assisted EMDR Therapy is a groundbreaking exploration of how eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy can be harnessed to enhance the beneficial effects of psychedelic medications.

Taylor & Francis Slow Psychiatry
Book SynopsisSlow Psychiatry analyses the way in which the industrial model of mental health is currently organized and suggests a counterculture to allow for deeper psychiatry.JoÃo G. Pereira is a pioneer in the implementation of slow psychiatry and open dialogue, and he uses his clinical experience to highlight how these principles can be applied in the organization of mental health services and the practice of psychiatry. The proposed alternatives focus on the democratization of mental health and policy, exploring current failures with neuroscience and âfast-pacedâ approaches to treatment, instead seeking to explore more humane and effective mental health services that prioritize agency and community. This book will be a beneficial resource for mental health professionals, particularly psychiatric nurses and psychiatrists.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Managing Children with Developmental Language
Book SynopsisAlthough most children learn language relatively quickly, as many as 10 per cent of them are slow to start speaking and are said to have developmental language disorder (DLD). Children with DLD are managed by a variety of different professionals in different countries, are offered different services for different periods of time and are given a variety of different therapeutic treatments. To date, there has been no attempt to evaluate these different practices. Managing Children with Developmental Language Disorder: Theory and Practice Across Europe and Beyond does just this, reporting on the findings of a survey carried out as part of the work of COST Action IS1406, a European research network.

Based on the impetus of Freudian and related innovations after the First World War, the Tavistock Clinic offered treatment, training and research facilities in the field of neurosis, child guidance and later on group relations.Dr Dicks, who had been associated for nearly forty years with the work and personalities that helped to develop the Tavistock venture, describes the struggles and capacity for survival of the clinic. He shows how, belonging neither to the older classical psychiatry nor to orthodox psychoanalysis, and suspect to both, the Clinic nevertheless became increasingly used by the rest of the profession as a psychotherapeutic resource.

With an 8-week syllabus, this professional guide provides detailed directives on putting mentalizing-based arts interventions into clinical practice with those aged 18-30, in a group or individual setting. With a specific focus on the differences in treating this age group, and case examples to demonstrate how art therapy interventions enhance mentalizing, this guide is an ideal resource for all professional art therapists looking to utilize their distinct capabilities and specialized training in a psychiatric hospital setting.Trade ReviewI enthusiastically recommend this ground-breaking book.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Postnatal PTSD: A Guide for Health Professionals
Book SynopsisPostnatal PTSD, often referred to as birth trauma, is an underdiagnosed and misunderstood condition. Often mistaken for postnatal depression and with 4% of women developing the condition after giving birth, it is essential that health professionals learn to recognise and prevent postnatal PTSD.The book supports professionals to better understand, recognise, treat and help prevent birth trauma. It covers the impact of postnatal PTSD on bonding and relationships, birth trauma in Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities, how to support women having another baby and more.An accessible guide to supporting parents with postnatal PTSD, this book is essential reading for healthcare professionals and those involved with the birthing process.Trade ReviewI was moved to tears by these powerful stories of birth trauma, linked by a digest of historical context and research evidence. Expert compassionate care can prevent damaging psychosocial consequences for women and families, whilst professionals themselves need to be shown the same kindness. This book is often heart-breaking but ultimately hopeful. -- Dr Jane Morris, Consultant Perinatal Psychiatrist and Medical PsychotherapistA well-informed, comprehensive book based on research evidence and people's experiences of postnatal PTSD. Essential reading for maternity care professionals. -- Professor Susan Ayers, City, University of LondonThe importance of this book cannot be overestimated. Not only do the authors provide a comprehensive theoretical understanding and practical tool for practitioners, each chapter is steeped in compassion and understanding. This book provides all of us working in the perinatal landscape a brilliantly evidenced and researched tool to better understand perinatal PTSD with compassion and understanding. We are the first generation to understand trauma in such depth and this book provides a clear, well researched analysis brought to life with women's stories. This is a great tool for professionals which I hope leads to high quality and compassionate care for all women during the perinatal period. -- Laura Seebohm, Maternal Mental Health AllianceWe don't usually do book reviews, but this is informative and timely work. As it says at the end; a maternity care system that recognises that birth can be traumatic, and that emphasises kindness, dignity, and respect, works better for everyone - midwives, obstetricians, mothers, and babies. Kim and Shona's expertise and experience, plus the stories from women, their partners and professionals involved in care, illuminates the book. Running though it all, from the history and recognition of PTSD to how it manifests as postnatal PTSD linked to traumatic birth, is the importance of good communication and listening to women and their partners. It also has a chapter on recognising and suggesting help for the often forgotten or ignored secondary traumatic stress and moral injury that can be experienced by midwives, obstetricians and other professionals who've been present at a traumatic birth * The Nursing and Midwifery Council *

Collective Ink Practicing Mental Illness: Meditation, Movement
Book SynopsisPracticing Mental Illness is a guide to using meditation, movement and meaningful work to help manage affective disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety. Not a typical book on mindfulness, it acknowledges where mindfulness practices as taught today can be helpful, and where methods and teachings in popular mindfulness can be very damaging to people with mental illness. George Hofmann has written a subversive self-help book, which acknowledges that our society's low expectations of people with behavioral challenges contribute to the development of mental illness. He gives the reader the necessary tools to take responsibility to get well and stay well. In the end, Practicing Mental Illness presents a method that can help people with affective disorders predict oncoming mood changes and intervene to head off damaging emotions and maintain a balance of positive mental, and physical, health.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Fostering a Child's Recovery: Family Placement
Book SynopsisThe overwhelming majority of children and young people in care today are fostered, but for some this only increases their problems through untreated trauma, ill-judged placements, poorly supported foster carers and multiple moves.This practical and evidence-based book outlines the principles of family placement on the basis of planning and evidence, and explores the qualities, skills and insights that create positive placement outcomes. Fostering a Child's Recovery shows how the key to good fostering is well-trained and skilled foster carers who form part of a team of professionals who surround the child.This book will benefit all professionals and parents involved in providing recovery for traumatized children and young people in ensuring successful placements.Trade ReviewThis perceptively small book contains a welth of information and a host of well-researched and -documented initiatives setting out the central issues in fostering traumatised children...The statistics on foster carers are helpfully set out, giving timely reminders about how organisations can learn to keep their foster carers and looking at the fact that most foster carers have altruistic motives...This book reinforces the fact that foster carers need a status that reflects their standing within the Child Care Team. They should be treated as fellow professionals, given full information about their children and know that what they say and feel is important...This neat little book holds a wealth of information not just helpful to foster carers and social workers but to anyone reparenting or step-parenting a chnild or becoming an adoptive parent. -- Children & SocietyTable of ContentsForeword.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Mutual Support and Mental Health: A Route to
Book SynopsisMental health services tend to view and treat mental health problems in an individual-centric way. This book argues for an alternative route to recovery that is cognizant of our social nature, needs and difficulties. Focusing on the therapeutic value of meeting others with similar experiences, it explores how mutual support can help ease the distress of mental health problems and foster emotional and psychological wellbeing.The author provides an overview of the theory, history and processes of mutual support, including how it can be understood from a developmental perspective and its importance in normalising and validating experiences and lessening feelings of isolation. She provides in-depth summaries of various approaches that harness mutual support including group therapy and therapeutic communities. Clear guidance is given on how to access, set up and facilitate mutual support groups, along with detailed information on services and organisations that utilise mutual support in the UK and beyond.This book will provide both mental health professionals and those experiencing mental health difficulties with essential information on mutual support, and the positive impact it can have on people's lives.Trade ReviewI hope that professionals and persons experiencing mental health problems take heed, and read Loat's admirable book. -- European Journal of Social Work(...)this book is a vital read as a reminder to all mental health professionals of the importance of mutual support for on-going mental health, especially those who have responsibility for commissioning services. -- Professional Social WorkOverall I found this book well presented, an enjoyable and an easy read...

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Responding to Self-Harm in Children and
Book SynopsisSelf-harm is a growing problem in children and young people but it can be hard to understand and difficult to recognise.Responding to Self-Harm in Children and Adolescents will help professionals to understand self-harm and respond appropriately. It covers what the risk factors are, including social exclusion, and who is most likely to self-harm. Information on what self-harm is and what causes it, including mental health issues, problems in childhood and trauma, is included. The book also covers how to recognise self-harm and how to immediately respond in an emergency, and different intervention methods are explored. Finally, the author discusses means of support, including how parents and friends can help. This accessible guide provides clear and easily digestible information and practical advice to any professional working with a child or young person who is suspected of, or actually self-harming.Trade ReviewThis book suggests theoretical ideas and offers useful guidance that the author hopes will support those working with children who self-harm and ultimately lead to informed, reflective and confident practice... Students and qualified practitioners interested in self-harm or working in this area would benefit from reading this very concise and up to date guide. -- Play for Life(...) a very refreshing read into how providing good guidance for professionals on self-harm can result in more positive outcomes for young people... This is a research-rich resource which all professionals will benefit from. -- Young Minds MagazineThis book is targeted at professionals who may encounter, or work with, children and adolescents at risk of self-harming. Walker is an expert in child and adolescent mental health and as a social worker and psychotherapist has had many years of hands on experience... I would not hesitate to recommend this book as it has a lot of useful points and challenges the political system, daring to jump off the fence. -- BFK BooksThis is a surprising monograph, from an "academic" author whose past work on professional development in child and adolescent mental health is admired by many... Responding to Self-Harm in Children and Adolescents is a very personal cri de Coeur by the author, for practitioners across the community to grasp the magnitude of these problems and to take the needs of self-harming young people seriously... perhaps every Head teacher should buy a copy, because statistically they will all have a number of pupils who self-harm? -- Journal of Public Mental HealthThis book is targeted at professionals who may encounter, or work with, children and adolescents at risk of self-harming. Walker is an expert in child and adolescent mental health and as a social worker and psychotherapist has had many years of hands on experience... this book is the ideal starting point, giving the reader an awareness of the hidden signs, how to approach the young person and their family and the different types of help available. -- AsteensTable of ContentsAcknowledgements.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Creating Person-Centred Organisations: Strategies
Book SynopsisPerson-centred thinking and planning are approaches that enable people using social care and health services to plan their future, and use a personal budget to commission personalised services.Creating Person-Centred Organisations is a guide for organisations who want to deliver personalised services. Key issues covered include attending to the vision, strategy and business planning of the organisation, as well as organisational processes, culture and managing change. Drawing on the pioneering work of the social care charity United Response, the authors provide a wealth of practical tools and techniques to enable organisations within health, social care and the voluntary sector to use person-centred thinking tools and approaches to move towards becoming person-centred organisations.This is an essential guide for managers and leaders within private, statutory and voluntary organisations.Stephen Stirk is Director of Human Resources at the social care charity United Response. He has had over 30 years' experience in human resources, organisation development and line management positions, including specialism in organisation design and development with GlaxoSmithKline. Helen Sanderson is Director of Helen Sanderson Associates. She has written extensively on person-centred thinking, planning, community building and Individual Service Funds. She has worked with a range of providers to enable them to deliver more personalised services. She is co-author (with Jaimee Lewis) of A Practical Guide to Delivering Personalisation: Person-Centred Practice in Health and Social Care (Jessica Kingsley Publishers).Trade ReviewThe book aims to define what person-centred practice means in organisation which aspire to deliver personalised services... The checklists in each chapter describe both the detail of what we expect to see in a person-centred organisation and they also give readers an opportunity to celebrate areas of responsibility that are being delivered well and to think about areas where development might occur... This person-centred approach on "one-to-one", focuses on there being opportunities for appreciation and feedback and reflection on progress and learning and an opportunity for shared problem-solving... Person-centred practices enable teams to deliver, at their best, in ways that work for everyone... The concluding chapter summarises the book so well that it alone could be used as the principles of good practice... If people working in health and social care use the tools and techniques provided by Stephen Stirk and Helen Sanderson, then they will have a multitude of options to take their organisation forward to become truly person-centred. -- European Journal for Person Centered Healthcare (EJPCH)It is a treasure-trove of good ideas which social workers will find useful in their day-to-day practice - for example, person-centred reviews and guidance on Individual Service Funds. -- Professional Social WorkThe unique person-centered approach described in the book is a very welcome contribution to reference manuals for people working in mental health services. Every condition is very thoroughly examined with remarkable insight into living with and seeking solutions to psychological disorders in collaboration with mental health practitioners. The strength of the insights is that it addresses behavioural aspects of mental illness in a non-judgemental and sensitive way. The discussions of each disorder provide excellent and thoughtful explanations of living with mental imbalances... The book contains no quick fixes, but rather concentrates on the growth and development of individuals collaborating with mental health providers in person-centered relationships. -- The International Journal of Person Centered MedicineThe book is (...) wonderfully rich in ideas... There is much in the 300-plus pages of this book to help you, and it is well worth buying as a comprehensive toolkit. -- Caring TimesStirk and Sanderson have really brought to life the concept of personalisation in its more holistic form. Their systemic analysis of what constitutes a person-centred organisation incorporates familiar theory about managing change, valuing people and remaining committed to the outcomes determined by service users and the community themselves. It is refreshing to see how the practical realities of this journey are tangible and the authors make it clear that being person-centred is more than just empty rhetoric. Based on personal experience, expertise and evaluation, I found the advice, tips and recommendations invaluable. This book is essential for leaders at all levels of the organisation and for those interested in fostering genuine participation in developing and delivering services from the bottom up! -- Trish Hafford-Letchfield, Senior Lecturer in Social Work at Middlesex University and co- author of How to Become a Better Manager in Social Work and Social Care: Essential Skills for Managing CareTable of ContentsAcknowledgements.

PCCS Books Searching for a Rose Garden: Challenging
Book SynopsisSearching for a Rose Garden is an incisive critique of all that is unhelpful about sanestream understandings of and responses to mental distress. Drawing on world-wide survivor activism and scholarship, it explores the toxicity of psychiatry and the co-option and corruption of survivor knowledge and practice by the mainstream. Chapters on survivor research and theory reveal the constant battle to establish and maintain a safe space for experiential knowledge within academia and beyond. Other chapters explore how survivor-developed projects and practices are cultivating a wealth of bright blooms in the most hostile of environments, providing an important vision for the future.Trade ReviewSearching for a Rose Garden is an exceptionally insightful collection, in which contributors reflect on the successes, setbacks, and ongoing challenges in contesting and supplanting psychiatry. There is an arresting quality to these essays, which express the urgency of needing to find other ways of caring, and are grounded in a deep appreciation of other ways of being. The transformative effects of the collective knowledge woven together in this book will reverberate for decades to come. Dr Richard Ingram, Independent Mad Studies researcher. Searching for a Rose Garden is a profoundly important volume. Comprehensive. Modern. Bold. Accessible. Survivor-produced research, knowledge, and practice offers concrete examples of people rejecting and altering mental health systems around the world. This is a must-read for anyone who has ever heard the word psychiatry. Lauren J. Tenney, PhD, MPhil, MPA, Psychiatric Survivor A vital contribution to the building of Mad Studies as a discipline grounded in activist scholarship. This is a comprehensive and accessible must-read for those interested in building real alternatives to the limited, and often damaging, approaches to madness and distress that dominate today. Its scope is impressive, drawing together a wide range of contributions to show the best of survivor knowledge and practice, whilst raising questions concerning the politics of inclusion, identities and co-production within this field. Searching for a Rose Garden serves as a record and celebration of, and a challenge to, survivor knowledge and activism; in doing so it preserves and provokes in equal measure.

Scion Publishing Ltd Improving the Mental Health Consultation:
Book SynopsisPatients with mental health issues present frequently in primary care and their consultations are often more challenging and time-consuming than those involving physical illness. For many patients there remains a significant stigma associated with mental ill-health and overcoming this adds further complexity to the consultation. Improving the Mental Health Consultation provides a simple ‘short circuit’ tool to help GPs and other healthcare professionals to explain mental health problems simply and effectively to their patients. The tool is straightforward, easy to convey within the confines of a 10-minute consultation and extremely effective in helping to break down the stigma that patients often feel. The tool has been developed and refined during over ten years of consultations in primary care. The detailed explanations of how to use the tool during the consultation, along with the extensive case studies, will help you to improve your mental health consultations and so help your patients deal better with their diagnosis. From anxiety to OCD and chronic fatigue to fibromyalgia, the book also provides detailed coverage of diagnosis and classification using ICD-11 and DSM-IV, and management using the latest NICE guidelines.Trade ReviewPre-publication review This book introduces a new consultation tool 'The Short Circuit' and makes a bold claim for it. But I think the author might be right: ‘Helping a patient understand a complex concept in a short time is difficult...[using this tool] your consultations will become quicker and more rewarding and the patient will be able to overcome any stigma leading them to a healthier understanding of mental health and able to engage better with any treatments.’ The style of the book is accessible and engaging and draws on the author's experience as a GP … As such it is forged in the fire of rapid-paced frontline care for patients, but brings a thoughtful, reflective response. Please read it. Your patients will benefit and, quite possibly, you will too. -- Professor Kay Mohanna FRCGP MA EdD, Professor of Healthcare Education, University of WorcesterAn important book ‘This is an important book from a doctor's point of view and helpful from a patient's perspective. Developing patter, Short circuit theory - all these things can help a trainee or even already qualified doctors to create their own way of approaching mental health - helped me see mental health as a pathology like any other disease.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Stepped Care 2.0: A Paradigm Shift in Mental
Book SynopsisThis book is a primer on Stepped Care 2.0. It is the first book in a series of three. This primer addresses the increased demand for mental health care by supporting stakeholders (help-seekers, providers, and policy-makers) to collaborate in enhancing care outcomes through work that is both more meaningful and sustainable. Our current mental health system is organized to offer highly intensive psychiatric and psychological care. While undoubtedly effective, demand far exceeds the supply for such specialized programming. Many people seeking to improve their mental health do not need psychiatric medication or sophisticated psychotherapy. A typical help seeker needs basic support. For knee pain, a nurse or physician might first recommend icing and resting the knee, working to achieve a healthy weight, and introducing low impact exercise before considering specialist care. Unfortunately, there is no parallel continuum of care for mental health and wellness. As a result, a person seeking the most basic support must line up and wait for the specialist along with those who may have very severe and/or complex needs. Why are there no lower intensity options? One reason is fear and stigma. A thorough assessment by a specialist is considered best practice. After all, what if we miss signs of suicide or potential harm to others? A reasonable question on the surface; however, the premise is flawed. First, the risk of suicide, or threat to others, for those already seeking care, is low. Second, our technical capacity to predict on these threats is virtually nil. Finally, assessment in our current culture of fear tends to focus more on the identification of deficits (as opposed to functional capacities), leading to over-prescription of expensive remedies and lost opportunities for autonomy and self-management. Despite little evidence linking assessment to treatment outcomes, and no evidence supporting our capacity to detect risk for harm, we persist with lengthy intake assessments and automatic specialist referrals that delay care. Before providers and policy makers can feel comfortable letting go of risk assessment, however, they need to understand the forces underlying the risk paradigm that dominates our society and restricts creative solutions for supporting those in need.Table of Contents1.

Springer International Publishing AG Work and Occupation in French and English Mental Hospitals, c.1918-1939
This open access book demonstrates that, while occupation has been used to treat the mentally disordered since the early nineteenth century, approaches to its use have varied across different countries and in different time periods. Comparing how occupation was used in French and English mental institutions between 1918 and 1939, one hundred years after the heyday of moral therapy, the book is an essential read for those researching the history of mental health and medicine more generally. It provides an overview of the legislation, management structures and financial conditions that affected mental institutions in France and England, and contributed to their differing responses to the new theories of occupational therapy emerging from the USA and Germany during the interwar period.
