Book SynopsisIn the past twenty years there has been a remarkable growth of interest in the area of trauma within the disciplines of psychology and psychiatry. This professional interest both reflects and contributes to a wider cultural concern with trauma. The syndrome of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) lies at the heart of the current discourse on trauma. This book argues that there are serious problems inherent in current conceptualisations of how people react to trauma, and consequently in many of the therapeutic responses that have been developed. The book offers a radical critique of the concept of PTSD and questions the assumptions which underpin the 'trauma industry' that has emerged around it. However, the book is not just about critique. Drawing on anthropology, philosophy and his own clinical experience and that of others, the author presents a very different understanding of the relationships between trauma, meaning and culture. Post traumatic anxiety is presented as a problem with strong social and cultural dimensions and not simply an issue of individual psychopathology. Thus the reader is equipped with a new framework for helping traumatised individuals and communities. This very different conceptualisation of post traumatic sequelae will challenge therapists, aid and development workers as well as theoretical workers in psychology and psychiatry. Dr. Bracken argues against the medicalisation of distress and for the strengthening of communities and seeks to connect disputes about the framing of trauma with a wider debate about the social control of technology and expertise. This book will also be of interest to philosophers and others wishing to understand the relevance of philosophical analysis to medicine and psychology.Table of ContentsPart I. Trauma.

Book SynopsisAfter his sister Abbie's suicide, Newman rediscovers her unpublished manuscript, forgotten in his loft. Considering publication he decides to write an introduction to the novel, whose main character is Vee, a teacher. Vee was previously in love with Max, a psychiatrist, but the relationship was short-lived. Childhood nightmares about her long-dead Aunt Mary's mental illness lead Vee to create a "door" in her mind to shut her out. But Aunt Mary's door is not enough to withstand a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, which ends Vee's teaching career. Some time later Vee gets a job at Squaremile, a centre for disabled people, but she soon realises that stigma is not just confined to job applications. Once, when she was a teacher, she was believed and trusted. Now, suffering from bipolar disorder, she is doubted and bullied. Vee meets Max again, but this time as his patient. Max is unable to prevent Vee's suicide, and feels intolerable guilt, in part because of his earlier relationship with her. Max hopes to find answers in Vee's novel, a copy of which she gave him at their last appointment before her suicide. Max, and his wife Helen, who works at Squaremile, are shocked to read of how Vee and some of the residents there have been treated. They investigate the allegations of bullying and neglect and prepare a report, presenting it at a meeting in the boardroom at Squaremile, attended by the chief executive officer of the centre. The atmosphere is tense, particularly as both Max and Helen have health problems, and because of attempts by Sandra, the chief bully at Squaremile, to sabotage their efforts to unmask her. However, as the story reaches its climax, it is Abbie who will have the last word.

Book SynopsisFirst place in the 2020 American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year Award in History and Public Policy​Winner of the 2020 Lavinia L. Dock Award from the American Association for the History of NursingTalking Therapy traces the rise of modern psychiatric nursing in the United States from the 1930s to the 1970s. Through an analysis of the relationship between nurses and other mental health professions, with an emphasis on nursing scholarship, this book demonstrates the inherently social construction of ‘mental health’, and highlights the role of nurses in challenging, and complying with, modern approaches to psychiatry. After WWII, heightened cultural and political emphasis on mental health for social stability enabled the development of psychiatric nursing as a distinct knowledge project through which nurses aimed to transform institutional approaches to patient care, and to contribute to health and social science beyond the bedside. Nurses now take for granted the ideas that underpin their relationships with patients, but this book demonstrates that these were ideas not easily won, and that nurses in the past fought hard to make mental health nursing what it is today. Trade Review"Talking Therapy is thoughtful, well-written, and covers much new ground. Her treatment of gender strikes me as having perfect pitch, and her analysis is well-grounded in psychiatric historiography, aware of both classics and recent work." -- Jonathan Sadowsky * author of Depression: A History *"In this engaging and essential book, Kylie Smith restores psychiatric nurses to their central place in the history of mental health, chronicling their struggles for professional legitimacy as they cared for the afflicted while entering a larger conversation focused on healing the nation’s damaged psyche." -- Elizabeth Lunbeck * author of The Americanization of Narcissism *"This incredible book is a much-needed addition to the history of nursing scholarship, but more so to the history of caring for those with mental illnesses. Smith illustrates how ideas about caregiving for this historically marginalized population informed not only psychiatric nursing but nursing more broadly. The book will help current day practitioners examine the underpinnings of their own ideas of caring for mentally ill patients." -- Julie Fairman * author of Making Room in the Clinic *"Talking Therapy is thus a valuable contribution to the history of twentieth-century American psychiatry and mental health, moving nurses from the margins to the center of that history. It highlights the complex, intersecting, and shifting relationship between nurses and psychiatrists; the intellectual and political work nurses have done to transform patient care; and the interprofessional, gender, racial, and knowledge politics that continue to shape the American health care system." * Bulletin of the History of Medicine *"Smith has the complicated task of bringing together two major areas of secondary literature—the history of nursing and the history of psychiatry....Smith raises important questions and her book is among the first to fill the enormous void in the history of nurses in psychiatry [and] it is a mark of the value of Smith's Talking Therapy that she has generated more questions than she can answer. We can look forward to works by Smith and other future scholars to further elucidate the critical role of nurses in psychiatry." * Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences *"A valuable and timely book that will be of interest to historians of psychiatry and health professionals." * Social History of Medicine *Table of ContentsContents List of Illustrations List of Abbreviations Introduction 1 “The backbone of every mental hospital”: Defining nursing in early psychiatry 2 “The Gospel of Mental Hygiene”: Reimagining practice before WWII 3 “The Future of Nursing”: Creating Advanced Practice Courses in Psychiatry 4 “We called it talking with patients”: Interpersonal Relations and the Idea of Nurses as Therapists 5 “The number one social problem”: Mental Health and American Democracy Conclusion Epilogue Acknowledgments Notes Index

Book SynopsisThis book analyzes schizophrenia management in the context of recent clinical therapeutic advances that have transformed the measurements and outcomes landscape. Unlike any other resource, this volume carefully develops the social and clinical guidelines that affect the life of the patient and defines its role in schizophrenia treatment outcomes. The text begins by determining the concepts, development, neuroscience, and guidelines for positive outcomes before analyzing the gaps in the literature. The text addresses medical concerns in relation to outcomes in schizophrenic patients, including substance use, impact from antipsychotic medications, and medical comorbidities. The text also covers external determinants that may inhibit positive outcomes, including cultural factors, stigma, and environmental issues. Written by experts in schizophrenia care, this book compiles sound research, current clinical trends, and modern measurement markers into a well-organized compendium that delivers this data into a practical guide for measuring treatment outcomes in patients suffering from the disease.Schizophrenia Treatment Outcomes is the ultimate guide for psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers, and all medical practitioners interested in improving outcomes for schizophrenia patients.Table of ContentsPART I : RECOVERY AND RETURN TO WELLNESS Chapter 1: Amongst Patients with Schizophrenia—A Learning Curve for Psychiatrists Avinash De Sousa and Amresh Shrivastava Chapter 2: Living Healthy with Schizophrenia—A Consumer’s Approach Michael Alzamora PART II: CURRENT STATUS OF OUTCOME, RECOVERY Chapter 3: Gender and Outcome in Schizophrenia Mary V.

Book SynopsisThis valuable book combines psychological theories of health with the lived experience of coping with chronic health conditions, focusing on the ill person as an actor of their own development. It draws on perspectives from developmental and health psychology alongside the authorâs personal experience of chronic illness.Bonino considers all aspects of living with illness, from issues that impact on everyday functioning such as pain and fatigue, to the rebuilding of identity through meaningful new goals and effective actions, and the development of therapeutic relationships. Psychological theories are interweaved with descriptions of lived encounters to center the experience of the person living alongside illness and provide insightful points of reference that everyone could try to use when facing the challenges of chronic disease in the course of their daily lives.Coping with Chronic Illness is important reading for those living with chronic health conditions, as well Trade ReviewThis book brings a new vision into the experience of living with chronic disease. Silvia Bonino had the courage and intelligence to put her knowledge as professor of developmental psychology in dialogue with her personal experience to produce a very fine and sensitive description of the processes, emotions, states of mind, strategies and mechanisms of defence of the chronic patient. It offers both a critical and constructive look at the intervention of different health personnel, highlighting the need for better communication between professionals and patients.

Book SynopsisThis ground-breaking book combines research and practice in the rapidly growing field of Positive Psychology with the fastest-growing medical speciality of Lifestyle Medicine. Section 1 maps out the new field of positive health by exploring the scope, content and architecture of this rapidly emerging area of research. It explores research findings and applications derived from Lifestyle Medicine and Positive Psychology that are critical for positive health. Section 2 delves into positive health research, covering topics such as using character strengths to improve health, maximising psychological wellbeing from head to toe, optimising gut health and understanding the relationships between mind and body. Section 3 offers guidance on applying the principles of positive health by describing new Positive Health Interventions (PHIs), introducing innovative positive health coaching models and exploring the contribution of positive psychology to health equity. The book is ideTrade Review“This landmark book establishes positive health science as a new field. The field is concerned with promoting sustainable, positive, healthy lifestyles. This handbook is written by a team of international experts who integrate theory, research, and practices from lifestyle medicine and positive psychology. It will be of interest to students, academics, and practitioners in medicine, nursing, psychology, psychotherapy, coaching, education, and allied healthcare professions.”Alan Carr, PhDProfessor of Clinical Psychology, University College Dublin, IrelandAuthor of “Positive psychology: The Science of Wellbeing and Human Strengths.”This is a truly informative, remarkable book written by experts from throughout the world. It was very heartening to read chapters that reflected and validated my own journey as a clinical psychologist that began with a focus on pathology and “deficits” and moved to a strength-based approach—an approach that highlights each individual’s passions, interests. and “islands of competence,” and prioritizes the nurturing of resilience and healthy lifestyle choices as a major task in our lives. I was impressed by many, many features of this book, including the clarity with which the concepts of lifestyle medicine, positive psychology, and positive health are described and integrated, the comprehensiveness with which different themes related to these concepts are detailed, and, very importantly, the discussion of a variety of realistic interventions to promote our physical and emotional well-being. There are some books that are written primarily for the professional/scientific community, while others for the lay public. This book will certainly have an enthusiastic audience of professionals from many different disciplines, both clinicians and researchers. Given its subject matter and readability I also believe it will garner a great deal of interest from the lay public. It will become a major resource, to be read and re-read by a diverse audience, all of whom appreciate the importance of understanding and implementing practices related to a positive health model. I recommend this book very highly.Robert Brooks, Ph.D., Faculty, Harvard Medical School (part-time)Co-author: The Power of Resilience: Achieving Balance, Confidence, and Personal Strength in Your Life; Co-author: Reflections on Mortality: Insights into Meaningful Living.I love this book so much I want to embrace it and kiss it; I want to send it to everyone I know, as well as everyone I don’t know, which means the entire population of our precious planet; I want to shout from the rooftops, “At last, a book that gets it! Masquerading as a respectable volume of scholarly prose, this book, when unmasked, dances up and down the avenues in delight, its shockingly naked pages thrilling all who read them with an entirely new, breathtakingly spot-on approach to health and life!”Not only will you love this book and find yourself nodding on every page, you will want your doctor to read it and your best friend; you’ll read passages aloud in bed to whomever you sleep with, even your dog; you’ll want to jump for joy and share the simultaneously revolutionary and time-honored wisdom displayed, in keeping with good taste, modestly, without the fuss and fanfare it deserves. Instead, the authors let the truth, the unadorned truth, come out of the shadows where Medicine has kept it hidden for centuries, and speak for itself, indeed sing.”Edward Hallowell, MD, USAAuthor of “Driven to Distraction” and “ADHD 2.0”"It is with great enthusiasm that I endorse your newly edited book on Positive Health, which stands as a testament to the collective wisdom and expertise of its distinguished contributors.

Book SynopsisA New Approach to Dementia: Examining Sensory and Perceptual Impairment is a groundbreaking work which highlights the non-memory impairments of the dementias to improve both early recognition of dementia and clinical diagnosis, as well as interventions and care. It focuses clinical attention on the significant evidence supporting the existence of many types of sensory and perception-related changes/abnormalities at the early stages of the disease and throughout its progression.Providing a holistic overview of the field, the book includes self-reports of people with dementia, alongside an in-depth discussion of the application of the findings about non-memory impairments to clinical care and management. It leads a movement to address the over-focus on memory function in dementia and ageing, arguing for the need to test sensory and perceptual abnormalities to improve clinical practice and research into dementia and associated disorders.With both scientific and clinical relevance, this book is essential for clinicians and researchers in ageing and dementia as well as carers working with people living with dementia, students of neuropsychology/neurocognition, medicine and health and social care.

Book SynopsisBrain Injury not only affects its victim, but those around them. In many cases, relatives are often overlooked despite facing many obstacles accepting and adjusting to a new way of life. Family Experience of Brain Injury showcases a unique collaboration between relatives of brain injured individuals and professionals from the field of neurorehabilitation. Family members from all different viewpoints tell their story and how the brain injury of a loved one has affected them.This book provides a space for those hidden and marginalised voices, the people who are in for the long haul, often dismissed by services and left to cope in isolation. By combining expert commentary with real life experiences, this book points towards sources of support, normalises the experience and provides a context for understanding the grief and losses of family members. Not only will the hard-earnt knowledge and wisdom evident in this book help educate health and social care staff, it hTrade Review"Stop for a moment and think about the person you love most. It may be a child, perhaps a wife, partner or husband, maybe your sister or brother. Now imagine fate intervening, and this special person suffers a stroke, traumatic brain injury, or other form of acquired brain injury. Those who survive, come back to the land of the living, but irrevocably changed as persons - different from the person whom the relative fell in love with. Most academic textbooks fail to capture the effects the tragedy of acquired brain injury has on those around the patient - the relatives. Family Experience of Brain Injury: Surviving, Coping, Adjusting does not. Through the powerful narratives of relatives telling their unique stories, and commentaries by professionals, the lifelong journey of grief, loss, compassion and hope families go through, is vividly told.

Book SynopsisThis book brings together different views about living and working with schizophrenia. The discussions focus on the psychococial aspects of care, and the book includes personal narratives from a sufferer and a carer as well as contributions from a Jungian analyst, occupational therapists and a psychiatric nurse. Schizophrenia is a highly complex condition, which impacts on every aspect of an individual's well-being. Today many clinicians are involved in any individual programme of care and there can be conflict between professionals about the weighting of the approaches to the management of an individual's experiences, together with a divergent understanding of the psycholgoical and social consquences of these experiences.Table of ContentsContributions. Introduction. Chapter 1 The science of enduring madness - Joe Frankland. Chapter 2 A carer's view of schizophrenia - Ronald W. Ryall. Chapter 3 Psychodynamic aspects of collaborative care - Trevor Jameson. Chapter 4 Schizophrenia and occuapational therapy - Sally Goldspink and Sarah Newman.

Book SynopsisFirst place in the 2020 American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year Award in History and Public Policy Winner of the 2020 Lavinia L. Dock Award from the American Association for the History of Nursing Talking Therapy traces the rise of modern psychiatric nursing in the United States from the 1930s to the 1970s. Through an analysis of the relationship between nurses and other mental health professions, with an emphasis on nursing scholarship, this book demonstrates the inherently social construction of ‘mental health’, and highlights the role of nurses in challenging, and complying with, modern approaches to psychiatry. After WWII, heightened cultural and political emphasis on mental health for social stability enabled the development of psychiatric nursing as a distinct knowledge project through which nurses aimed to transform institutional approaches to patient care, and to contribute to health and social science beyond the bedside. Nurses now take for granted the ideas that underpin their relationships with patients, but this book demonstrates that these were ideas not easily won, and that nurses in the past fought hard to make mental health nursing what it is today. Trade Review"Talking Therapy is thus a valuable contribution to the history of twentieth-century American psychiatry and mental health, moving nurses from the margins to the center of that history. It highlights the complex, intersecting, and shifting relationship between nurses and psychiatrists; the intellectual and political work nurses have done to transform patient care; and the interprofessional, gender, racial, and knowledge politics that continue to shape the American health care system."— Bulletin of the History of Medicine "A valuable and timely book that will be of interest to historians of psychiatry and health professionals."— Social History of Medicine "Smith has the complicated task of bringing together two major areas of secondary literature—the history of nursing and the history of psychiatry....Smith raises important questions and her book is among the first to fill the enormous void in the history of nurses in psychiatry [and] it is a mark of the value of Smith's Talking Therapy that she has generated more questions than she can answer. We can look forward to works by Smith and other future scholars to further elucidate the critical role of nurses in psychiatry."— Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences "Talking Therapy is thoughtful, well-written, and covers much new ground. Her treatment of gender strikes me as having perfect pitch, and her analysis is well-grounded in psychiatric historiography, aware of both classics and recent work."— Jonathan Sadowsky, author of Depression: A History "This incredible book is a much-needed addition to the history of nursing scholarship, but more so to the history of caring for those with mental illnesses. Smith illustrates how ideas about caregiving for this historically marginalized population informed not only psychiatric nursing but nursing more broadly. The book will help current day practitioners examine the underpinnings of their own ideas of caring for mentally ill patients."— Julie Fairman, author of Making Room in the Clinic "In this engaging and essential book, Kylie Smith restores psychiatric nurses to their central place in the history of mental health, chronicling their struggles for professional legitimacy as they cared for the afflicted while entering a larger conversation focused on healing the nation’s damaged psyche." — Elizabeth Lunbeck, author of The Americanization of NarcissismTable of ContentsContents List of Illustrations List of Abbreviations Introduction 1 “The backbone of every mental hospital”: Defining nursing in early psychiatry 2 “The Gospel of Mental Hygiene”: Reimagining practice before WWII 3 “The Future of Nursing”: Creating Advanced Practice Courses in Psychiatry 4 “We called it talking with patients”: Interpersonal Relations and the Idea of Nurses as Therapists 5 “The number one social problem”: Mental Health and American Democracy Conclusion Epilogue Acknowledgments Notes Index
