Taylor & Francis Ltd LoveSex and Relationships
Book SynopsisLoveSex and Relationships introduces a pleasure-focused rather than reproductive model of sex, exploring how our brains, minds, bodies and emotions interact to create our experience of sexuality.This book challenges the cultural commodification of sex and sexuality, and it encourages the reader to experience being sexual' rather than doing sex' or looking sexy'. This is crucial to our development of sexual selfesteem, particularly in the digital era of pornography, dating and hookup apps. Bringing the material of the first edition up to date, chapters include anatomical diagrams and social commentary with a focus on trauma and Polyvagal Theory. Diversity and cultural changes are also addressed, including a more expansive understanding of gender identity, and greater awareness of the impact of power and rank in sexual relationships. Lastly, each chapter features a new partnered exercise alongside every solo exercise from the first edition.The bookTrade Review‘LoveSex and Relationships takes the readers on an all-round tour of the brain, mind, body and emotions, in a jargon-free yet in-depth exploration of human sexuality and intimate relationships. Written in a warm tone and with a sex-positive philosophy, this book is the essential guide for anyone who wants to know more about sex and relationships. Cabby Laffy and Polly McAfee offer many reflective exercises that will help readers improve their sex lives and relationships. The authors expertly lift the lid on sensitive subjects that are often unspoken.’ Silva Neves, COSRT-accredited and UKCP-registered psychosexual and relationship psychotherapist, speaker and author. ‘LoveSex and Relationships is an inclusive, up-to-date, accessible and engaging book about how sex and intimacy work. Drawing on a wide range of relevant theory and research, the authors present a compelling understanding of how mind, brain, body, and feeling work together - within our social and relational context - to shape our experience of love and desire. This book is a must-read for all sex and relationship practitioners and will be very helpful to share with clients who are grappling with these issues too.’Meg-John Barker, author of a number of popular books on sex, gender, and relationships, including graphic guides to Queer, Gender, and Sexuality, How To Understand Your Gender, Life Isn’t Binary, Enjoy Sex (How, When, and IF You Want To), Rewriting the Rules, and Hell Yeah Self Care. They have also written a number of books for scholars and counsellors on these topics, drawing on their own years of academic work and therapeutic practice. 'This book contains a systematic but delightful guide full of information and a model to work with for both students and qualified therapists looking for information on love and sex.

It offers an accessible and inclusive way to think about human sexuality in the contemporary context, uniquely and deftly integrating science based information with an acute awareness of and sensitivity to the impact of dominant social systems. It navigates the multidimensional human experience of love, sex and relationships across cultures and identities, with the depth of consideration reflective of the authors’ extensive psychotherapeutic experience. It is beautiful and important and will immediately go to the top of our recommended reading list.’ Julie Sale, COSRT Senior Accredited Sex and Relationship Therapist and UKCP Registered Psychotherapist, Director of the Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology. ‘So much of how we talk and learn about sex is from a limited perspective, which further limits our capacity for sexual wellness and getting to our best sexual relationship with ourself and others, and LoveSex and Relationships is the antithesis of that. Using the homeodynamic model examines sex through a holistic lens encompassing the huge breadth of factors that are influencing us and making us the sexual person that we are today. Most importantly LoveSex and Relationships is pleasure focused and sex positive meaning that it pushes back against so much we are taught about sex which is through a shame-based model. It’s a must read for all, but especially for clinicians working with those in mental health and psychological contexts.’Kate Moyle, BSc, PGDip, MA, AccCOSRT, Sexual & Relationship Psychotherapist, Accredited Member of COSRT & Registered by UKCP, EFS & ESSM Certified Psycho-Sexologist, Host of The Sexual Wellness Sessions Podcast.Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Working with Trans Voice
Book SynopsisThis book is an essential resource for those new to, developing and established in the field of trans voice. Presented in a workbook style and packed with practical exercises for the practitioner to engage with, it explores and explains how to work with clients effectively, while also developing vital cultural knowledge and fundamental skills in voice coaching that will help the practitioner develop insight into and support each person's unique journey. Matthew Mills and Sean Pert draw on their wealth of experience to encourage the reader to consider what gender means to them, and how gender performance may be taken for granted by people whose gender identity aligns with their sex assigned at birth. The key learning points of this book are illustrated by guiding comments from trans and non-binary people with lived, practical and clinical experienceBased on the latest expert practice and informed by the experiences of the clients themselves, Working with Trans VoiceTrade Review"In over two decades of clinical practice in this field, I have never encountered a practical guide that so perfectly ‘gives voice’, both literally – Mills and Pert are acclaimed consultants in Speech & Language Therapy – and in the sense that it firmly centres the lived experience and expertise of trans and non-binary individuals. As such, I consider this essential reading, not just for vocal practitioners and gender clinicians but for everyone who works with or simply wants to better understand gender-diverse people." Dr Stuart Lorimer, Consultant Psychiatrist and Senior Gender Specialist "This is an invaluable resource for voice practitioners at every level of experience, as well as for other disciplines working within trans healthcare.This workbook enables an exploratory and reflective approach to voice and communication work for Voice practitioners. The voice and wisdom of the community interlocutors is interwoven throughout, embracing true partnership working. This is a must for our continuing professional development; the workbook will increase the communicative confidence for all that engage with it."Nazlin Kurji-Smith (She/Her/Hers), Clinical Lead Speech and Language Therapist and National Adviser in Trans Voice for the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists"Do we need another book on working with trans voice?’. What I found to my delight on reading Mills & Pert’s book was that yes, we do. This book follows the pattern of weaving in interlocutors from the trans community, and the diversity of voices and expertise is invaluable. The format invites the reader to take a deep dive into self-examination and to ‘do the work’. This sense of journey fosters a deeper empathy with the journey of our clients. We are not let off lightly, even though there is support to be light and kind to ourselves as we consider our own identity, attitudes and biases and as we explore our own voices. The ground is thus well-nurtured to grow our own practice and to tear up the rule book should we choose." Gillie Stoneham, Consultant SLT in Trans Voice & Communication"This book is a useful resource for Speech and Language Therapists, not only those who are new to working with trans voice but also those who wish to develop their skills in supporting trans and non-binary people. Trans people benefit from informed clinicians, with the knowledge and skills to facilitate authentic communication. "Working with Trans Voice" will allow therapists to provide good, culturally sensitive clinical care, that meets the needs of trans people." Dr Helen Greener, Consultant in Gender Dysphoria 'This entry in the Working With series endeavours to enable newer and more experienced clinicians alike to deliver gender-affirming voice therapy to trans and non-binary individuals. This book is a workbook, and asks us not to ‘skip to the exercises’, but to engage thoughtfully in material that will transform voice exercises into voice therapy.' Mary Moos, Advanced Specialist Speech and Language Therapist, from the foreword. 'What will strike you overwhelmingly from reading this book is how the authors have captured the voices of lived experience from trans and gender diverse people. Their experiences permeate the text adding invaluable context and richness to the practical exercises and activities in each chapter.’ Dr Kate Nambiar, Gender Clinician & Endocrinology Specialist, Welsh Gender Service, from the foreword.

Taylor & Francis The Routledge Handbook of Semiosis and the Brain
Book SynopsisThis Handbook introduces neurosemiotics, a pluralistic framework to reconsider semiosis as an emergent phenomenon at the interface of biology and culture.Across individual and interpersonal settings, meaning is influenced by external and internal processes bridging phenomenological and biological dimensions. Yet, each of these dyads has been segregated into discipline-specific topics, with attempts to chart their intersections proving preliminary at best. Bringing together perspectives from world-leading experts, this volume seeks to overcome these disciplinary divides between the social and the natural sciences at both the empirical and theoretical levels. Its various chapters chart the foundations of neurosemiotics; characterize linguistic and interpersonal dynamics as shaped by neurocognitive, bodily, situational, and societal factors; and examine other daily neurosemiotic occurrences driven by faces, music, tools, and even visceral signals.This comprehensi

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Physical and Virtual Space of the Consulting
Book SynopsisIn this thought-provoking book, Deborah Wright examines the role of both space and objects as they become manifest in the psychoanalytic process and looks at how the role of the consulting room in the therapeutic process is both primitive and transferential. Wright explores spatialisation as simultaneously being a psychological projection of meaning and as physically acting upon the environment, utilised to master the undifferentiated, relentless, internal pressure of instinct. Throughout The Physical and Virtual Space of the Consulting Room, she considers the spatial aspects of work with patients by foregrounding the importance of the consulting room and its contents, including the impact of changes of consulting room, travelling, and in working virtually. Illustrated with clinical material and hand-drawn artwork, Wright orients the reader in the new territory by going beyond the existing literature that considers the objects and space of the consulting room solely asTrade Review'Dr Wright has written a remarkable book. She shows that spatial organization is fundamental to structuring experience: outside and inside the consulting room, outside and inside the transference. She bases her profound theory on diverse sources, including Freud’s many drawings, and extensive clinical experience. Her ideas on spatialization will generate new areas of investigation and practice and will evoke a eureka recognition of the unconscious ordering of everyday life.'Karl Figlio, Clinical Associate, British Psychoanalytical Society; Professor Emeritus, University of Essex, UK'Deborah Wright shows us an interesting and somewhat hidden tradition from Freud onwards. The consulting room and indeed all living spaces are given individual meanings by each of us, depending on our individual and cultural experiences. Our Unconscious ‘space’ offers a necessary dimension in addition to the transference to the person of the therapist who inhabits the space. The author provides clinical evidence, as well as cultural, to show how it can be exposed and used.'Dr. R.D. Hinshelwood, Psychoanalyst, and Professor Emeritus, University of Essex, UK'It is a truth universally acknowledged in psychoanalytic/psychodynamic discourse that the consulting room or 'setting', in which clinical work takes place, is of particular importance. Why that should be, beyond what seems 'obvious', however is under-theorised in the literature. Dr Wright rectifies this in her scholarly and accessible book in which she presents clinical observation which advances current theory and practice. She formulates a clear language and terminology to articulate her theory of spatial dynamics, and her own uncanny illustrations add depth to her discourse. The book is a delight to read and essential for teaching and training purposes.'Meg Errington, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist; British Psychoanalytic Council, UK"This book is ground-breaking and contains an abundance of ideas to seed thinking. What Wright so generously offers here, others will no doubt build upon in their own imaginations, theorizing and clinical practices. It earns a place on our bookshelves." - Catriona Wrottesley, Society of Analytical Psychology and Tavistock RelationshipsTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Environmental Apocalypse
Book SynopsisThis volume brings together scholars working in diverse traditions of the humanities in order to offer a comprehensive analysis of the environmental catastrophe as the modern-day apocalypse. Drawing on philosophy, theology, history, literature, art history, psychoanalysis, as well as queer and decolonial theories, the authors included in this book expound the meaning of the climate apocalypse, reveal its presence in our everyday experiences, and examine its impact on our intellectual, imaginative, and moral practices.Importantly, the chapters show that eco-apocalypticism can inform progressively transformative discourses about climate change. In so doing, they demonstrate the fruitfulness of understanding the environmental catastrophe from within an apocalyptic framework, carving a much-needed path between two unsatisfactory approaches to the climate disaster: first, the conservative impulse to preserve the status quo responsible for today's crisis, and second, the recTrade Review"Jakub Kowalewski has compiled a set of essays that investigate the multiple roles that apocalypticism can play in addressing climate change as well as its diverse colonial and capitalist roots. The authors offer accounts of eco-apocalypticism in shifting theological, philosophical and political contexts. In addition to advancing discussions in political theology, these chapters break new ground in their consideration of apocalyptic ideas in areas ranging from literature to Muslim environmentalism to the genre of how-to guides. In acknowledging the dominance of Christian eschatology for apocalyptic thought, but refusing to allow this dominance to go unchallenged, this volume is an important contribution to thinking about a world that appears to be ending around us."Thomas Lynch, Reader in Political Theology, University of Chichester, UK "All too often, apocalyptic rhetoric is invoked to lend urgency to the environmental crisis, but can the age-old concept of ‘apocalypse’ have any analytical power facing a catastrophe without event such as the Anthropocene? The essays in this volume show that it can. They give the term a much-needed update, providing rich insights into its history and its usefulness for the predicament we live in."Eva Horn, Professor of Modern German Literature and Cultural History, University of Vienna, Austria"This important collection offers a bold attempt to contest the apocalyptic tropes through which the ecological disaster is brought to our consciousness. Without any guarantee of a redemptive offering, the authors engage the environmental apocalypse to trace multiple paths whereby critical thought meets political hope to emerge renewed, ready to imagine a better world."Joanna Zylinska, Professor of Media Philosophy and Critical Digital Practice, King’s College London, UKTable of ContentsPART 1 Conceptualising the Environmental Apocalypse 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd NatureBased Play Therapy
Book SynopsisNature-Based Play Therapy brings a theoretical basis to arguments for including nature in play therapy and provides tools for that inclusion with a prescriptive model. Throughout this book, play therapists are introduced to the histories of nature and play across cultures and cultural expectations and are then guided into an understanding of how nature and play intersect with current trends in society and psychotherapy. Readers will learn about how the therapeutic powers of play are activated and facilitated by the inclusion of nature in play therapy, and they will be taken step-by-step through a prescriptive case conceptualization model. They'll also find case studies that link theoretical tenets, the therapeutic powers and play and nature, and intended treatment outcomes.Nature-Based Play Therapy is an excellent introduction to a vital and growing area of the field, one that gives a well-rounded summary to a theoretically based model of treatment.Trade Review"Grounded in prescriptive play therapy, Dr. Nash’s clinical wisdom invites us to join her in the connective nexus between nature and play. Readers discover historical, cultural, and ethical insights mixed with relevant case examples that redefine the traditional ‘playroom space.’ What differentiates this text is Nash’s sequential model of case conceptualization, clinical reasoning, and decision making. The model challenges us to understand the client's needs, characteristics of play, and the matching of theoretical orientations to both the therapeutic powers of nature and play—all before ever considering the utilization of any technique. Integrative and inspiring!"Mary Anne Peabody, EdD, LCSW, RPT-S, associate professor of social and behavioral sciences, University of Southern Maine"Grounded in thorough research yet written for practical application, Nature-Based Play Therapy is a fusion of the core tenets of play therapy and nature. This text will complement play therapists' knowledge, perspective, further growth, and will benefit those they teach and/or serve."Franc Hudspeth, PhD, LPC-S, NCC, ACS, RPT-S, RPh, chair of counselor education at Sacred Heart University"This book is so needed in our field! Julie Nash grounds the growing interest in nature play therapy in theory and research. She sets the context with a brief review of the role of nature in history and religion. Then, very insightful and detailed chapters intersect nature with the seminal play therapy theories and the therapeutic powers of play. A very practical chapter of case studies reveals how to conceptualize and implement nature-based play therapy. Throughout, Julie interweaves her family’s experience in nature.

Book SynopsisThis handbook explores prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination primarily as phenomena embedded in the social organization of societies and connected to structural factors and larger societal systems. It offers a unique critical and cross-disciplinary approach to the study of contemporary manifestations of prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination.New socio-psychological analyses of the most pressing social problems of our age bring into view future directions of research on prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination oriented to social change and collective action and that engage with wider systems of norms and discourse. The editors draw on social psychology, sociology, social policy, clinical psychology, cultural studies and feminist, antiracist and decolonizing social science to show how social psychology can successfully rekindle its intellectual dialogue with kindred social science fields to create broader foundations for the exploration of the paradoxes lodgedTable of ContentsIntroduction1 Toward a new sociological social psychology of prejudice, stereotyping and discriminationCristian Tileagă, Martha Augoustinos & Kevin DurrheimPart I Prejudice, social structure and social justice 2 Beliefs about the interpersonal vs. structural nature of racism and responses to racial inequality Julian M.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Theory of Educational Technology
Book SynopsisEducational technology is controversial some see it as essential to providing free global learning, others view it as a dangerous distraction that undermines good education. In both instances, most theories that have previously been applied to educational technology do not account for the distinctive nature and vast potential of technology. This book addresses this issue, exploring how education has been bound up with technology from the beginning, and recognising that educational aims have already been shaped by technologies. Offering a dialogic' theory of educational technology, Rupert Wegerif and Louis Major respond to contemporary challenges to education within this book, including, but not limited to, climate change, misinformation on the internet and the impact of Artificial Intelligence.Chapters introduce, discuss, and contextualise key theories and illustrate through case studies their uses within a diverse range of educational contexts, spanning from pTrade ReviewThe book is an ambitious development of a theory of educational technology from historical, philosophical, psychological, and pedagogical perspectives. It is important for the EdTech community to have this challenge to our thinking, as the concept itself grows ever more complex. The authors argue from a strong foundational base of thinking through and enriching the idea of ‘dialogic education’. It will inform a deeper debate around the newly perceived roles and impact of AI.Diana Laurillard, Professor of Learning with Digital Technology, UCL.It’s sometimes said that pioneers in educational technology have no time for history and no use for theory. Setting cynicism aside, it remains true that connecting theory and practice in educational technology is difficult work, just as it is in education. Here’s the heart of this book’s argument: it is necessary to reframe the relations between technology and education, in theory and practice. Technology is not an adjunct to education. It precedes and gives purpose to education. It always has. Wegerif and Major succeed in opening a dialogic space within which we can collectively reshape relations between tools and goals, ideas and actions. This is a timely and important contribution.Peter Goodyear, Emeritus Professor of Education, The University of Sydney, AustraliaIn this volume, Wegerif and Major provide an inspired and innovative vision for understanding the role of technology in education. Written in an accessible way for wide readership, the authors harness “a new dialogic theory of educational technology” that both informs and benefits from the examples of pedagogical practice they provide. The result is a powerful set of insights into how new technologies affect both the individual and social dimensions of pedagogical practice. Their dialogic approach is perhaps the best way we have to date to generate these insights, and there are probably no other authors who could outline the practical applications so well. This volume promises to have major implications for several disciplines.James Wertsch, Department of Anthropology, Washington University in St. Louis.This inspiring book puts dialogue at the heart of a new technology-enhanced education. Combining the rich history of educational technology with illuminating case studies and philosophical depth, it makes a compelling case for a science of educational design that connects learners in creating meaning across cultures, spaces and times. The Theory of Educational Technology is deeply researched, lucid and optimistic. It offers educators, technologists, researchers and policy makers a shared foundation to build education for a digital future.Mike Sharples, Emeritus Professor of Educational Technology, Institute of Educational TechnologyIn a world of pandemics, social media, Internet information access and ChatGPT, schools hastily adopt online technologies. However, prevailing thinking about educational technology is steeped in outmoded perspectives. Sophisticated recent theories of dialogic learning and technology adaptation open new opportunities for educational approaches that avoid the perils of inappropriate technological tools. These new theories are based on sophisticated philosophical developments of the past hundred years, many of which are difficult to comprehend. Fortunately, this book reviews and considers deeply the most important innovative theories, pedagogies and technologies – and their philosophical bases – in an eminently readable, insightful, critical and coherent presentation.Gerry Stahl, Professor Emeritus of Information and Computer Science, Drexel University, USA, and Founding Editor, International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative LearningEducational science can be considered a design science, concerned with two questions: What should people learn and teach? And how can we assist people in pursuing such educational goals? This insightful book addresses these key questions with a focus on the design of educational technology. The dialogue between the concrete cases and theoretical framing shows how technology can be put to work in our endeavours to engage, support and connect students, and expand their horizons. The book is unique in combining philosophical depth with convincing examples.Arthur Bakker, Professor of STEM Education and Curriculum at the University of Amsterdam, the NetherlandsTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisExploring a specific type of sexual violence committed by a specific type of sexual offender, namely adult male on adult female stranger sexual violence, this book provides readers with an enhanced understanding of both the offences being committed and the offenders who commit them.Although acts of serious stranger sexual violence are rare, they are important as they occur in the context of there being no pre-existing relationship between the offender and victim, meaning they present significant challenges to criminal justice practitioners who are required to investigate, assess and understand such offending. Arguing for the importance of adopting an ideographic perspective, this book encourages readers to draw upon a variety of different theories and models as appropriate, such as considering the impact of a behavioural conditioning process, where sexual violence is a manifestation of prior learning or early life experiences.

All states will be engaged in arms races' across a variety of new tools and technologiesfrom drones, robotics, AI and quantum computingthat will transform politics, economy, society and war.Drawing on thinkers such as Zygmunt Bauman and Paul Virilio, the book suggests that future war will be shaped by three broad tendencies that include a broad range of tactics, technologies and trends; the impure, the granular and the machinic.

Book SynopsisPresented in five parts, this comprehensive collection offers an in-depth understanding of the core competencies in Jungian psychoanalysis.It is aligned with the main task of analytical training and practicethat of integrating the unconscious aspects of experience and developing a living relationship with itand defines a set of key resources and skills for recognizing the emergence of the unconscious and its multiple manifestations, while offering ways to relate to it that fit individual clients and encourage growth and healing.Featuring contributions from renowned Jungian analysts from across the globe, the book sheds light on how Jungians integrate common therapeutic methods in their practices and how they utilize others that are unique to their personal experiences, making the book an essential read for Jungian professionals, trainees, and students.Trade Review"What are the core personal attitudes and professional skills necessary to work as a Jungian analyst? The editors have invited some of the most senior practitioners and influential thinkers in the Jungian canon to tease out what each considers to be irreducible, essential psychotherapeutic abilities. The results of this international reflective process are richly rewarding and multifaceted, identifying key elements of the analytic attitude in different societies and playing with the art of communication in creative tension between consciousness and the unknown. Each chapter adds a fresh insight and all demonstrate the deep satisfaction felt in helping patients and trainees alike to explore the symbolic inner world of the unconscious mind."Catherine Crowther, Training Analyst, Society of Analytical Psychology, London"By putting at the center the specific skills a Jungian Analyst must acquire and develop to fulfill the tasks and objectives of Jungian analysis, this book is an indispensable reference for educational activities in all training programs. It is an excellent contribution to the understanding of the specificity of Jungian practice."Pilar Amezaga, Clinical professor of Jungian Psychotherapy, Catholic University of Uruguay and Vice President of the IAAP"As analytical psychology has moved from a small movement largely within Western Europe and North America to a global approach to analysis and psychotherapy, as well as facing a decisive generational transition as the last direct connections to the founding generation of analysts fade, defining the foundational characteristics of Jung’s approach to the psyche becomes increasingly important for our understanding of analytical psychology’s unique contribution to mental and spiritual health in the contemporary world. The core competencies discussed in this volume directly address this growing need and represent an indispensable resource for training the next generation of analytical psychologists."George B. Hogenson, Ph.D, Chicago Society of Analytical Psychologists"A book exploring the core competencies of the psychotherapist is badly needed. A row of senior analysts give a deep understanding of the effectiveness of Jungian psychotherapy. As the role of the psychotherapist has been undeservedly underestimated this book is highly recommendable for anybody who enables another person’s growth."Kathrin Asper, Ph.D, Training analyst and supervisor at ISAPTable of ContentsIntroduction, A Second Introduction, Part I: Research on core competences in Jungian Psychotherapy, 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd CommunityBased Mental Healthcare for Psychosis
Book SynopsisThis eye-opening book explores the need for, and how to successfully organize, community mental health teams that provide in-home care and treatment for people experiencing mental health difficulties, particularly those suffering with psychosis. With an emphasis on community-based care and democratic psychiatry, the book presents two paradigm shifts necessary to bring mental healthcare directly into the community. The first is shifting perceptions from thinking of patients to recognizing those in need of care as members of the public moving away from a biomedical diagnostic approach. The second shift is the provision of support for the community environment, its families, friends, and neighbours to pave the way for hospitableness towards people with mental health issues in a way that encourages compassion, empathy, and a respect for differences. Through clinical case material, anthropological and phenomenological methods, and personal experience in community-based care, Peter Dierinck presents new models for sheltered housing and innovative ways for struggling individuals to secure paid work within a community system. Community-based Mental Healthcare for Psychosis is important reading for psychiatric professionals, clinicians, social workers, caregivers, and all mental health professionals looking after psychiatric patients with complex care needs.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Book SynopsisEcologies of Creative Music Practice: Mattering Music explores music as a dynamic practice embedded in contemporary ecological contexts, one that both responds to, and creates change within, the ecologies in which it is created and consumed. This highly interdisciplinary analysis includes theoretical and practical considerations from blockchain technology and digital platform commerce to artificial intelligence and the future of work, to sustainability and political ecology as well as contemporary philosophical paradigms, guiding its investigation through three main lenses: How can music work as a conceptual tool to interrogate and respond to our changing global environment? How have transformations in our digital environment affected how we produce, distribute and consume music? How does music relate to matters of political ecology and environmental change? Within this framework, music is positioned Trade Review‘Music matters. And, as Matthew Lovett argues in this compelling book, it cannot be understood without reference to matter, whether in the form of technological tools or wider physical environments. Taking an ecomusicological approach, Lovett joins the dots between Vaughan Williams and Justin Bieber, between blockchains and physical bodies, to position music as enmeshed, embedded, entangled – and entirely interdependent with other systems in both production and consumption.’Marcus O’Dair, Associate Dean, Knowledge Exchange and Enterprise, University of the Arts London ‘Ecologies of Creative Music Practice reminds us that music, before it is anything else, is interdependent and environmental, embedded in various systems, ecologies, and material networks as it is: this has always been the case, but in a context of naturing-culturing anthropocenes, capitalocenes and novacenes this sort of immanent critical approach to music is more timely than ever. Taking an intriguing, adaptive ecomusicological approach in which recent trends in new materialist thinking are applied to and within various musical and music business contexts, Ecologies of Creative Music Practice brings theory and matter – the matter of theory, the theory of matter – together to illuminate the practices of music and, in turn, to use those practices to help us think differently about broader questions of technology, materialism and philosophy, and the environment. Roving across everything from video games to speculative realism, AI and blockchain to François Laruelle, and ending with a vision of music as 'ecology in motion', the book is a must read for anyone interested in creative musical practice as an assemblage or nexus of big, knotty, heavy global challenges (and vice versa).

Taylor & Francis The Therapistâs Use of Self
Book SynopsisThis book encourages and trains students and practicing marriage and family therapists to bring themselves into the therapy room, offering guidelines and strategies for being more present and personal with their clients.Mental health professionals are often taught and trained that therapy is serious business, to be cautious and conservative with therapeutic decision-making, and to stick to empirically supported and specific tools in sessions. What gets lost in this positivistic, formulaic, and scientific way of working are therapistsâ own unique voices, their creativity, flexibility, and the sense of playfulness that make the change process fun and upbeat. The Therapistâs Use of Self equips therapists with the skills they need to deepen their alliances with clients, to liberate themselves from an overreliance on models, and to bring their whole selves to the therapeutic encounter. Chapters cover pioneers in the field before exploring ways to bring ideas from outside thTrade Review“This book had me at the start; the analysis of the family therapy pioneers was the best I’d ever read.

A book for any practitioner, chock-full of wisdom, guidance and encouragement to be more of ourselves as a therapist.

Occupational groups, particularly lawyers, physicians, and financiers, have constructed professional cartels to secure rents at the expense of the prosperity of the public.

Book SynopsisA key question for the contemporary world: What is Putin's ideology? This book analyses this ideology, which it terms Putinism.

What are the economic theories needed to understand what has been happening? What are the policy ideas and controversies a
