Book SynopsisShattering the tired old cliches about older people, Great Myths of Aging utilizes current research to explore the myths, generalizations, and anti-aging stereotypes associated with the elderly.Trade Review“What does the future hold for us as we age? Most of us have difficulty thinking of ourselves as aging, no matter how old we are. In this lively, engaging book, Great Myths of Aging, Erber and Szuchman remind us that we are aging every minute of every day. Almost all of us hold ageist stereotypes, even as we know that we will become a part of this often stigmatized group. Psychologists and laypeople alike are familiar with the commonly held ageist beliefs, those that involve the asexual, grouchy old man or woman living in a nursing home waiting for death. Erber and Szuchman not only identify and “bust” these more common myths, but cleverly identify at least 35 additional fallacies, replacing them with authoritative information.” PsycCritiques, June 2015Table of ContentsAcknowledgments xi Introduction 1 1 The Body 6 “Speak up!

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Social Psychology of Helping Relations
Book SynopsisExamines the major aspects of giving and receiving help in interpersonal and intergroup relations This unique book extends the traditional emphasis on interpersonal help-giving in order to consider a wider spectrum of interpersonal and intergroup helping relations. Help giving is viewed as reflecting people's care for others, while at the same time dependency on help and giving help imply lower and higher places on the social hierarchy, respectively. It studies the psychology of what goes into helping someone and integrates experimental work conducted in the social psychological laboratory with applied research from volunteer organizations, schools, and work and family environments. In addition to research on the giving of help, the book considers the recipient of help and reviews research and theory on people''s readiness to seek and receive help.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Children and Social Exclusion
Book SynopsisChildren and Social Exclusion: Morality, Prejudice, and Group Identity explores the origins of prejudice and the emergence of morality to explain why children include some and exclude others. Formulates an original theory about children's experiences with exclusion and how they understand the world of discrimination based on group membership Brings together Social Domain Theory and Social Identity Theory to explain how children view exclusion that often results in prejudice, and inclusion that reflects social justice and morality Presents new research data consisting of in-depth interviews from childhood to late adolescence, observational findings with peer groups, and experimental paradigms that test how children understand group dynamics and social norms, and show either group bias or morality Illustrates data with direct quotes from children along with diagrams depicting their social understanding Presents new insights aboutTrade Review“Killen and Rutland provide expert broad-ranging reviews of relevant theories, research, and interventions and conclude with an integrative framework for understanding and addressing peer exclusion." (Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology, 2012) "Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals."

Book SynopsisThis is a wide-ranging look at the factors which positively and negatively affect the wellbeing of children and families. Discusses core developmental competencies for later life, the role of the family, the impact of different settings, and factors associated with lower levels of wellbeing Brings together the latest research from leaders in the field of child development Outlines important recommendations for families, caregivers, educators, social workers, and policymakers to assure and increase child wellbeing Part of the six-volume Wellbeing: A Complete Reference Guide, which brings together leading research from across the social sciences Trade Review"The Guide’s major strengths are its breadth and depth with reviews of the literature, case studies, empirical findings, historical reflections, and future guidance. Scientists working on any subfield can now see how their work informs other fields and ideas for interdisciplinary projects." (PsycCRITIQUES, March 2015) "I would recommend this book for acquisition. Each volume has its own ISBN and there are volume indexes, rather than a master index, so specialist libraries could purchase individual volumes. The different volumes hang together well however, so I would recommend getting the set if possible. This set has arrived on the crest of a wave of academic and, to a lesser extent, public interest. Academic libraries catering for courses in psychology, health-related subjects, education, social policy or economics will all find useful material here." (Reference Reviews, 2014) “This series could complement a variety of libraries, such as a home or personal library, office, or academic setting. Wellbeing is a global topic that influences each individual. This series is a valuable resource.” (American Reference Books Annual, 1 June 2014) Table of ContentsAbout the Editors ix Contributors xi Full Contents of Wellbeing: A Complete Reference Guide xiii Introduction to Wellbeing: A Complete Reference Guide xxvii 1 Introduction 1 Susan H.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd TimeLimited Existential Therapy
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Strasser's text is so much more than a second edition. It is beautifully written, with clarity and spaciousness, and will appeal equally to the interested lay public as well as the experienced professional. It offers wisdom for daily life as well as guidance for the therapy room, finding a middle ground between the rigidity of technique and the chaos of 'anything goes'. Each point in the book is movingly illustrated with stories that readers will easily relate to. It is a little shocking that it is so shocking to have time acknowledged as absolutley fundamental to therapy and so pivotal to our understanding of how to live. Strasser's new book is a creative innovation and a useful primer for anyone thinking of embarking on therapy as either a client or as a professional career. A welcome departure from the usual psychotherapy text: I recommend it highly." - Dr. Greg Madison Chartered Psychologist (BPS AFBPsS, HCPC, Europsy)Reg. Psychotherapist (UKCP, ECP, WCPC)Reg. Practice Supervisor (BPS, UKCP)Focusing Coordinator UK Europe International Online "In this new, and substantially revised, second edition of Time-Limited Existential Therapy: The Wheel of Existence, Alison Strasser retains the adventurous, investigative spirit of the first edition (co-authored with her father, Freddie Strasser) while adding to it the substantial therapeutic depth and focus which she has acquired during the intervening years. Always accessible, and packed with relevant case vignettes, the text addresses insightful ways of addressing and exploring the core concerns presented by clients within a time-limited context. Although existentially-focused, all therapists working within short term, time-limited therapy guidelines will find this important text to be a stimulating challenge to their practice."- Professor Ernesto SpinelliAuthor of Practising Existential Therapy: The relational world (2nd ed)."The book provides a robust treatise on the topic of time as it informs the process and structure of existential psychotherapy. The case vignettes dramatically demonstrate the many ways in which temporality is an essential concern for every human being, sometimes as a welcome component, sometimes as a problem. This is an accessible and profound text that will inspire practitioners, and appeal to those who are more generally appreciative of the pilosophical approach." - Karen Weixel-Dixon, author of Interpersonal Conflict, an existential, psychotherapeutic and practical model "This is such a rich and useful text. It reads almost like a novel, giving us a tour of western existential thought, a wallflower's view of the therapy room and practical guide to working as an existential therapist. Using time as a constraint and a challenging container, Strasser straddles the conundrum of technique by refusing to ignore its inevitability and instead offers philosophical guidance and case studies, giving us principles rather than tools of practice. For the beginning therapist, this is a text to return to and for more experienced practitioners of all persuasions, this offers a deepening of our understanding of the existential therapeutic encounter."- Zoe Krupka, Senior Lecurer, Cairnmillar Institute "In this 2nd edition of "Time Limited Existential Therapy", Alison Strasser presents us not only a new version, but also a maturing, broadening and deepening of the reflections present in the first edition. "Time" is the central theme that runs throughout the pages of this book, a deeply existential theme that questions and impacts us all, either because of its paradoxes or because of the tensions it causes us. In this text, we can go hand in hand with her author to reflect on the vicissitudes that time throws on the therapeutic relationship, and on the possibilities of a "time-aware therapy". After all, not only all therapy is time limited, but existence itself confronts us with its finiteness. I have no doubt that this text will expand our reflections and enhance our work as therapists, regardless of the approach, but it also offers us a diagram (or the Wheel of Existence) that is very valuable for supervision and for personal exploration work." -Dr. Yaqui Andres Martinez"This book is an important and useful contributin to the therapeutic literature. The author weaves together existential philosophy about ontological givens of life together with relevant vignettes from clinical practice, doing so skilfully and in a way which makes the philosophical concepts and ideas discussed accessible. Strasser's 'time aware' or time-conscious therapy places time at the centre of the therapeutic experience and endeavor, a positioning that challenges some contemporary reactions and resistance to addressing the limits- and limitations- of time both in therapy and in life. I highly recommend this book to students and practitioners alike."-Dr. Keith Tudor, Professor of Psychology, Auckland University of Technology, and editor of Brief Person-centred Therapies (Sage, 2008) and Transactional Approaches to Brief Therapy (Sage, 2002).

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Careers in Mental Health
Book SynopsisAccessible and unbiased, Careers in Mental Health introduces upper-level high school students and beginning undergraduates to the different aspects of various mental health professions. Contains essential career advice for anyone considering an advanced degree in one of the helping professions within mental health Covers clinical psychology, counseling psychology, social work, counseling, marriage and family therapy, substance abuse counseling, and school psychology Clarifies the distinctions between professions by discussing the history and philosophy of each field, requirements for advanced education, licensing, available jobs, salary potential, and more Includes a section with practical information applicable to all the professions, such as characteristics for success, ethical issues, the importance of critical thinking, applying to graduate school, and current issues affecting the field of mental health Trade Review"Careers in Mental Health was written for undergraduate psychology students and students in other mental health fields and provides a strong introduction to the most frequently entered mental health fields. It quickly outlines each field�s philosophical origins, educational requirements, and opportunities for licensure, typical work settings, and average salaries by people in the field.It is too narrow for a careers course, but since it solely focuses on the mental health professions that require graduate school and culminate in licensure or certification, it could be a good supplementary text for either that course or an Introduction to Counseling course. Careers in Mental Health could also be a good resource for faculty advising students about graduate school but confused by the variety of apparently similar professions out there�clinical, counseling, and school psychology; guidance counseling; social work; and licensed professional counseling. I am a clinical psychologist, have worked in the field for 25 years, and have advised students about these fields for most of that time, yet as a result of reading this book, I better understand issues I�ve talked about and taught for years. For example, why do these similar fields go by different names? Metz argues that this is at least in part because these are homologous fields, appearing similar but having different philosophical roots... Much of the information in Careers in Mental Health is available on the Internet, but Metz provides it in a simple and available manner that allows students�and faculty�to compare apples with apples. She filters the information about fields in a straightforward manner that makes their comparisons easy."
