Book SynopsisPowerful ideas from narrative therapy can teach us how to create new life stories and promote change.Trade Review"[A]n excellent work that provides guidance in how to both tell and change your life story in thoughtful, well organized, and meaningful ways. . . . I hope that the tools and the ways of thinking and being that Denborough writes about become more widespread. If they did, I think we would treat ourselves and others with more respect and compassion." -- PsychCentral"In this beautifully written new book . . . a thorough and accessible teaching of narrative ideas is accomplished. Readers will find that David Denborough marries a harmonious mix of exploring narrative ideas with the encouragement of personal applications through exercises and illustrations. I have yet to read a text on narrative therapy that so effectively makes itself accessible to both facilitators and service users. Consumers, new and seasoned therapists, and reading and learning groups should all find rich learnings. . . . As you delve into Retelling the Stories of Our Lives, be prepared to be taken to new and wonderful places." -- Narrative Therapy Centre of Toronto e-newsletter"[O]rganized and easy-to-follow . . .

We welcome this long-awaited explanation for non-therapists of Michael White’s ideas." -- Jill Freedman, MSW, & Gene Combs, MD, co-authors of Narrative Therapy: The Social Construction of Preferred Realities"In Retelling the Stories of Our Lives, master of genre David Denborough, who apprenticed with Michael White for 15 years, makes available much of what White had invented to a wider audience, while also linking to his own re-inventions for responding to challenging assignments.

Book SynopsisA charismatic and controversial figure, Lacan is one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century and his work has revolutionized linguistics, philosophy, literature, psychology, cultural and media studies.He gained his reputation as a lecturer, disseminating his ideas to audiences that included Jean-Paul Sartre and Luce Irigaray amongst other hugely influential names. The Ethics of Psychoanalysis is a transcript of his most important lecture series. Including influential readings of Sophocles' Antigone and Elizabethan courtly love poetry in relation to female sexuality, The Ethics of Psychoanalysis remains a powerful and controversial work that is still argued over today by the likes of Judith Butler and Slavoj Žižek. Trade Review"Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Georges Bataille had often urged Lacan to publish the text of his seminars: the influence of his teaching can be observed in works by Maurice Blanchot and Michel Foucault ... in Roland Barthes's studies on semiology and Louis Althusser's reading of Marx. But it can be felt still more basically [in] the current revival of interest in psychoanalysis . . . the desire for a return to origins which is a common factor in so many avenues of modern thought."

Book SynopsisEmotionally Durable Design presents counterpoints to our âthrowaway societyâ by developing powerful design tools, methods and frameworks that build resilience into relationships between people and things. The book takes us beyond the sustainable design fieldâs established focus on energy and materials, to engage the underlying psychological phenomena that shape patterns of consumption and waste. In fluid and accessible writing, the author asks: why do we discard products that still work? He then moves forward to define strategies for the design of products that people want to keep for longer. Along the way we are introduced to over twenty examples of emotional durability in smart phones, shoes, chairs, clocks, teacups, toasters, boats and other material experiences.Emotionally Durable Design transcends the prevailing doom and gloom rhetoric of sustainability discourse, to pioneer a more hopeful, meaningful and resilient form of material culture. ThiTrade Review'Emotionally Durable Design poses two key questions: "Why do we throw away products that still work?" and "How can we design products that people want to keep for longer?" Jonathan Chapman analyses our patterns of consumption and waste, and successfully offers strategies and tools which can act as an alternative to our ‘throwaway society’. Emotional durability is vital to creating designs that people love and cherish, instead of simply making products to be thrown away. A wonderful and enjoyable read.’ - Marcel Wanders, designer and director, ‘Marcel Wanders’, The Netherlands'Jonathan Chapman dares to think differently about design. His inspiring insights are potentially hugely influential. By unpicking the complex emotions and psychology behind the way we relate to and feel about the objects with which we surround ourselves, he radically reimagines those relationships. Chapman suggests a more powerful, sustainable "story of stuff" – one where design delights and is cherished once again. Compelling, convincing and credibly evidenced, this is a very important book.' - Ed Gillespie, co-founder, Futerra Sustainability Communications, UK'Applying Jonathan Chapman's philosophy of emotional durability has helped our team to rethink not only the type of products that can be developed in the future but also the role they can play in our ever-changing world. In this second edition his rationale for environmental change is eloquently powerful and it is supported with new insights and product examples that are inspiring and motivational.' - Dr. Jon Mason - design researcher, Philips, The Netherlands'Emotionally Durable Design provides intelligent and accessible perspectives on how design can be valued beyond market forces. Highlighted are more resilient relationships between people and material things, as well as new sustainable business models for longer lasting products. Already influential on design professionals, academics, and governments, this welcome second edition is essential reading for anyone concerned about the current and future roles and responsibilities of design and the worlds it inhabits.' - Hazel Clark, PhD, Professor, Design Studies and Fashion Studies, Parsons The New School for Design, USA'Emotionally Durable Design offers a profoundly original view on sustainability by shifting our focus from the durability of products to the durability of consumer-product relationships. With six opportunities to foster empathetic bonds between users and their products, Jonathan Chapman shares his uplifting vision on durability that puts the mystery and wonder back into design, revealing how sustainable design can be a central pioneer of positive social change.' - Pieter Desmet, Professor, Design for Experience, Delft University, The Netherlands'While a coterie of theorists try to convince us that our objects are the albatross around our neck to blame for the environmental malaise, and must be rejected, Chapman makes the compelling argument that more, not less connection is needed. His passionate and accessible treatise explains how, by combining material and emotional intelligence, we can achieve the responsible and rewarding cycles we need in order to survive. This revised and updated edition is essential reading for any responsible individual involved in the conception, design, development, sale or consumption of objects.' - Tim Parsons, Associate Professor, Designed Objects, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, USATable of ContentsList of Figures.

Book SynopsisIn a nation where an estimated 25 percent of high-school seniors use illegal substances on a monthly basis, parents are wise to be concerned about setting their children on a drug-free course. While much advice handed out these days focuses on teen behavior and on what to do once drugs have become a problem in the home, Raising Drug-Free Kids takes an innovative approach and focuses instead on preventative measures that can be followed early on in a child''s life. Developmental psychologist and parent educator Aletha Solter provides parents with simple, easy-to use tools to build a solid foundation for children to say no to drugs. Organized by age group, from preschool through young adulthood, the handy 100 tips will show parents how to help their children to: Feel good about themselves without an artificial high. Cope with stress so they won''t turn to drugs to relax. Respect their bodies so they will reject harmful substances. Have close family connections so they won''t feel desperate to belong to a group. Take healthy risks (like outdoor adventures) so they won''t need to take dangerous ones.

Book SynopsisA summary of what experienced professionals have learned about schooling through 'The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study' (TIMSS) and 'The Programme for International Student Assessment' (PISA). Aimed at academics, policy-makers and those interested in large scale assessments, it lists findings signifying why schooling matters.Trade Review'This book argues convincingly that the essential determination of learning mathematics and science in school is through curriculum, the selection and implemented instruction of content and the consequent opportunities to learn. We cannot change the social and economic backgrounds of our students, but we can improve the quality and the fair distribution of their opportunities.' Richard G. Wolfe, Emeritus Professor, University of Toronto'Compulsory reading for anyone engaged in improving education. Interest in TIMSS, PIRLS and PISA shows no sign of abating - but all too often it is the headline-grabbing 'league table of nations' which is the focus of attention. There is, of course, so much more to the surveys than this. If there's a definitive account which can improve understanding of how the surveys developed to where they are today, how they compare, and what the future holds, then this is it.' Tim Oates, CBE, Group Director of Assessment Research and Development, Cambridge Assessment'International testing is an important driver of the rhetoric of educational reform. Schooling across the Globe is a great read for understanding the origins, objectives, and limitations of such assessments for school improvement.' Martin Carnoy, Stanford University Graduate School of Education, California'I am mightily impressed with this book and am not surprised given the senior author. I learned a great deal and found the 'story' of the various math assessments fascinating. The authors have done a terrific job of explaining how these assessments came about and most especially what they mean. I am most grateful for the instruction the book provided.'

Book SynopsisA brilliant book by Nobel Prize winner Eric R. Kandel, The Age of Insight takes us to Vienna 1900, where leaders in science, medicine, and art began a revolution that changed forever how we think about the human mind—our conscious and unconscious thoughts and emotions—and how mind and brain relate to art.   At the turn of the century, Vienna was the cultural capital of Europe. Artists and scientists met in glittering salons, where they freely exchanged ideas that led to revolutionary breakthroughs in psychology, brain science, literature, and art. Kandel takes us into the world of Vienna to trace, in rich and rewarding detail, the ideas and advances made then, and their enduring influence today.   The Vienna School of Medicine led the way with its realization that truth lies hidden beneath the surface. That principle infused Viennese culture and strongly influenced the other pioneers of Vienna 1900. Sigmund Freud shocked the world with his

Book SynopsisWashington Post''s Top 10 Graphic Novels 2012''An unflinching and frequently unforgiving narrative of what it means to have bipolar disorder'' - John Crace, Guardian''Marbles isn''t just a great story; it''s proof that artists don''t have to be tortured to be brilliant.'' - Entertainment WeeklyShortly before her thirtieth birthday, Forney was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Suffering from (but enjoying) extreme mania, and terrified that medication would cause her to lose creativity, she began a long struggle over many years to find mental stability while retaining her creativity. Searching to make sense of the popular idea of the ''crazy artist'', she finds inspiration from the lives and work of other artists and writers who suffered from mood disorders, including Vincent van Gogh, Georgia O''Keeffe, William Styron, and Sylvia Plath. She also researches the clinical aspects of bipolar disorder, incluTrade ReviewNot only does her conversational intimacy draw readers in, but her drawings perfectly capture the exhilarating frenzy of mania and the dark void of depression...Forney's story should resonate with those grappling with similar issues, while her artistry should appeal to a wide readership. Kirkus (Starred Review) Ellen Forney's memoir of her bipolar diagnosis and long pharmacopic trek toward balance is painfully honest and joyously exuberant. Her drawings evoke the neuron-crackling high of mania and the schematic bleakness of depression with deft immediacy. Forney is at the height of her powers as she explores the tenuous line between mood disorders and creativity itself. -- Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home. Forney's exhilarating and enlightening autobiographical portrait of her bipolar disorder (otherwise known as manic depression), takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster, an authentic evocation of the author's journey. Her clear and thoughtful art provides a powerful, effective and brilliant illumination of this unforgettable adventure. Miami Herald Marbles isn't just a great story; it's proof that artists don't have to be tortured to be brilliant. Entertainment Weekly Dense with intellectual and emotional power, Forney's book is a treasure--as a memoir, as an artwork, and as a beautifully conceived and executed commentary on both mental experience and the creative life. With wit, humor, a wicked sense of the absurd, and eloquent insight into the beauty that shines through the mercurial life of the mind, this graphic memoir explores its subject with a particular precision and power. Forney should be read. -- Marya Hornbacher, bestselling author of Madness: A Bipolar Life

It shouldn''t take long. Psychologist Michael Slepian finds that, on average, we are keeping as many as thirteen secrets at any given time. His research, involving more than 50,000 participants from around the world, shows that we most frequently keep secrets about lies we''ve told, ambitions, addictions, mental health challenges, hidden relationships and financial struggles.Our secrets can weigh heavily upon us. Yet the burden of secrecy rarely stems from the work it takes to keep a secret hidden. Rather, the weight of our secrets comes from carrying them alone.

Book SynopsisAn inclusive, research-based guide to working the 12 steps: a trauma-informed approach for clinicians, sponsors, and those in recovery.Step 1: You admit that you''re powerless over your addiction. Now what?12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) have helped countless people on the path to recovery. But many still feel that 12-step programs aren''t for them: that the spiritual emphasis is too narrow, the modality too old-school, the setting too triggering, or the space too exclusive. Some struggle with an addict label that can eclipse the histories, traumas, and experiences that feed into addiction, or dismisses the effects of adverse experiences like trauma in the first place. Advances in addiction medicine, trauma, neuropsychiatry, social theory, and overall strides in inclusivity need to be integrated into modern-day 12-step programs to reflect the latest research and what it means to live with an addiction today.Dr. Jamie Marich, an addiction and trauma clinician in recovery herself, builds necessary bridges between the 12-step''s core foundations and up-to-date developments in trauma-informed care. Foregrounding the intersections of addiction, trauma, identity, and systems of oppression, Marich''s approach treats the whole person--not just the addiction--to foster healing, transformation, and growth.Written for clinicians, therapists, sponsors, and those in recovery, Marich provides an extensive toolkit of trauma-informed skills that:Explains how trauma impacts addiction, recovery, and relapseCelebrates communities who may feel excluded from the program, like atheists, agnostics, and LGBTQ+ folksWelcomes outside help from the fields of trauma, dissociation, mindfulness, and addiction researchExplains the differences between being trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive; andDiscusses spiritual abuse as a legitimate form of trauma that can profoundly impede spirituality-based approaches to healing.

Book SynopsisRadically open-dialectical behavior therapy (RO-DBT) is a groundbreaking, transdiagnostic treatment model for clients with difficult-to-treat overcontrol (OC) disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, chronic depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Written by the founder of RO-DBT, Thomas Lynch, this is the first and only session-by-session training manual to help you implement this evidence-based therapy in your practice.As a clinician, you're familiar with dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and its success in treating clients with emotion dysregulation disorders. But what about clients with overcontrol disorders? OC has been linked to social isolation, aloof and distant relationships, cognitive rigidity, risk aversion, a strong need for structure, inhibited emotional expression, and hyper-perfectionism. And yet-perhaps due to the high value our society places on the capacity to delay gratification and inhibit public displays of destructive emotions and impulses-problems linked with OC have received little attention or been misunderstood. Indeed, people with OC are often considered highly successful by others, even as they suffer silently and alone.RO-DBT is based on the premise that psychological well-being involves the confluence of three factors: receptivity, flexibility, and social-connectedness. RO-DBT addresses each of these important factors, and is the first treatment in the world to prioritize social-signaling as the primary mechanism of change based on a transdiagnostic, neuroregulatory model linking the communicative function of human emotions to the establishment of social connectedness and well being. As such, RO-DBT is an invaluable resource for treating an array of disorders that center around overcontrol and a lack of social connectedness-such as anorexia nervosa, chronic depression, postpartum depression, treatment resistant anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders, as well as personality disorders such as avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive, and paranoid personality disorder.In this training manual, you'll find an outline of RO-DBT, including history, research, and how it differs from traditional DBT. You'll also find a session-by-session RO-DBT outpatient treatment protocol, with sections that outline the weekly, one-hour individual therapy sessions and weekly two-and-a-half hour skills training classes that occur over a period of approximately thirty weeks. This includes instructor guidelines and user-friendly worksheets.The feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of RO-DBT is evidence-based and informed by over twenty years of translational treatment development research. This important manual-along with its companion book, Radically-Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (available separately), distills the essential components of RO-DBT into a workable program you can start using right away to improve treatment outcomes for clients suffering with OC.
