Her insights into the challenges faced by young people with cancer and their families is unsurpassed. This promises to be another tour de force that will provide a foundation for learning about the parent-partner perspective for professional staff, advocates, young people with cancer and their families around the world"Simon Davies, Executive Director, Teen Cancer America"Supporting parents and partners of young adults diagnosed with cancer, even if essential, is often overlooked. This book changes that. Caring for a young adult going through such a life altering experience is not easy and can feel overwhelming. Dr. Katz offers a road map that can provide guidance and a sense of direction. The stories she shares, aligned with some solid evidence-based advice, can not only impact caregivers, but can change how the young adult experiences cancer."Geoff Eaton, Executive Director, Young Adult Cancer Canada."Dr Anne has always been ahead of her time. Without her leadership and her influence as one of the earliest subject matter experts in sexual health and cancer survivorship, today's conversations would not be the same.

Taylor & Francis Developmental Trauma
Book SynopsisDevelopmental Trauma offers a comprehensive introduction to the research findings that help us understand the effects on human development of early childhood trauma and adaptation to stress. It explains how DTD differs from PTSD and emerges from a toxic seed planted at the beginning of an individualâs lifespan development. This important volume examines relational traumas and adverse childhood experiences, such as exposure to family and community violence, polyvictimization (multiple repeated childhood traumas), and disruptions to parent-child bonds, which lay the foundation for future relationships. The volume considers how DTD affects self-regulation capacities, identity development, self-esteem, and faith in oneself and others and increases the likelihood of comorbidities including ADHD and autism spectrum disorders. Individuals with indications of developmental trauma face lifelong challenges in their ability to develop and maintain trusting relationships, to build and utilize hTable of Contents1.

The profession of child life has developed to address these specific concerns, with child life specialists using play as a primary tool to mitigate the negative effects of healthcare related experiences.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Adolescents and Young Adults
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Adolescents and Young Adults: An Emotion Regulation Approach provides a unique focus on therapeutic practice with adolescents and young adults, covering everything from psychological theories of adolescence to the treatment of common emotional difficulties. Beginning with a review of development through adolescence into adulthood, and the principles of CBT, the book highlights problems with traditional models of CBT for adolescents and young adults. In a fresh approach, this book separates CBT from diagnosis and grounds it instead in emotion science. Adolescents and young adults learn not about disorders and symptoms, but about emotions, emotional traps', and how they can use CBT to bring about change. There are chapters on fear, sadness, anger, emotion dysregulation, and happiness. Each chapter provides an outline of emotion science, a clear cognitive behavioural formulation (trap'), and evidence-based interventions. Clinicians are

Book SynopsisNarrative Therapies with Children and their Families introduces and develops the principles of narrative approaches to systemic therapeutic work, and shows how they can provide a powerful framework for engaging troubled children and their families. Written by eminent and leading clinicians, known nationally and internationally for their research and theory development in the field of child and family mental health, the book covers a broad range of difficult and sensitive topics, including trauma, abuse and youth offending. It illustrates the wide application of these principles in the context of the particular issues and challenges presented when working with children and families. Since publication of the first edition, the importance of narrative therapy has continued to grow, and this new edition provides an updated and revised overview of the field, along with three new chapters to keep apace with developments in child mental health trauma work. This book reTrade ReviewIn the ten plus years since the first edition of this book, much has changed in the landscape of narrative practice in working with children. Fortunately for us, the book has more than kept pace with these changes. The second edition integrates the most recent research and practise ideas that have emerged over the decade as well as introducing us to emergent issues. The new chapters include: "working in early intervention settings such as school and other frontline agencies"; "children who have become refugees"; and "families living in a context of civil conflict". These new chapters caught my attention and I believe they add a great deal our work with children and families. - D. Russell Crane, PhD"Narrative Therapies with children and their families (2ndedition) is an essential read for anyone working with children and families. Securely rooted in the rich traditions of family therapy, narrative psychology and psychoanalysis, this book is an essential resource for students and practitioners in the mental health field, as well as in school systems. Contributors – leading experts from different backgrounds- address important issues like attachment, depression, trauma and violence, focusing on the inspiration and insights a narrative based approach can offer. The focus is not only on giving the child a voice so that he/she can tell his/her story in words, in play, in drawings; but also on listening to the child’s voice and integrating it in the story of the parents, the family, the school, the therapy.This is an important book that can serve as a clinical guide to therapy and counselling with children and their families. It is likely to become a classic in the field." - Peter Rober, Context UPC KU Leuven, Belgium"This book is a treasure trove of ideas for therapeutic practice with children and their families. It shows the breadth and strength of narrative as a major cohering metaphor in contemporary family therapy. Different chapters cross the borders of systemic psychotherapy, psychoanalytic thinking, attachment theory and resilience research, as senior practitioners apply narrative ideas to particular family issues and contexts of practice. The book makes for an enriching read for experienced therapists, and charts creative practice possibilities for training practitioners in family therapy, psychology, social work, psychiatry and child psychotherapy." - Carmel Flaskas, Adjunct Associate Professor, School of Social Sciences, UNSW Australia.In the ten plus years since the first edition of this book, much has changed in the landscape of narrative practice in working with children.

Rowman & Littlefield Teaching Effective Supervision of Child and
Book SynopsisTeaching Effective Supervision of Child and Adolescent Analysis: Enriching the Candidate''s Clinical Experience is intended to help the supervisor of child and adolescent analysis. In presenting the supervisory experiences of their volume contributors, Anita G. Schmukler and Paula G. Atkeson offer a diverse guidebook that assists both the training supervising analysts and their candidates in their respective work with children. Focusing on assessment, working with parents, transference and countertransference, ethical dilemmas, play therapy, and fantasies and dreams, this volume ultimately assists the candidate in making careful assessments to determine optimal treatment.Trade ReviewDrs. Atkeson and Schmukler have collected papers that not only summarize the available literature on supervision of child and adolescent analysis but provide substantive ideas for conceptualizing the very complex processes involved in such an endeavor. This book offers both the conceptual and the practical, so that both the ‘why’ and the ‘how to’ of making supervision a helpful undertaking are closely linked in the reader's mind. -- Carla Elliott-Neely, Washington Center for PsychoanalysisThis outstanding book makes an invaluable contribution to the education of the child analyst; written by a group of skilled and experienced clinicians and supervisors, it covers essential issues in the teaching and learning of child analysis in a highly informative and practical way. A work that can serve as a guide and model for students and teachers, this book is essential reading for anyone engaged in the field of child analysis. -- Theodore J. Jacobs, M.D., New York Psychoanalytic Society & InstituteThis book examines the work of supervision throughout the various phases of a child and adolescent psychoanalytic treatment, with specific focus on the tasks pertinent to each phase. This specificity, combined with wonderful clinical examples, makes the study essential reading for both seasoned supervisors and for those just starting out. With this study, Schmukler and Atkeson make a contribution that is invaluable in itself, and in expanding and deepening the scholarly literature on this often neglected topic—a topic crucial for its clinical and conceptual implications. -- Laurie Levinson, PhDTeaching Effective Supervision of Child and Adolescent Analysis is a timely, masterful, and comprehensive contribution to the sparse literature on supervision of child and adolescent treatment. The detailed rich examples from clinical experience will be of value to all who supervise and treat children psychologically. A must for child analysts who wish to become effective supervisors. -- Wendy Olesker, PhD, New York Psychoanalytic Society and InstituteTable of ContentsIntroduction Anita G.

University of Toronto Press Human Security
Book SynopsisDuring his lifetime, W.E. Blatz was so much occupied with the development of the University of Toronto’s Institute of Child Study that he was able to devote little time to writing. This is his first book to appear in twenty-one years, and his first complete exposition of his famous Theory of Security.The Theory of Security is radically different from the theories promulgated by Freudian psychologists. Whereas Freudian personality theory is based on the notion of “unconscious,” an entity that is only indirectly observable, the Theory of Security derives from the observation of the conscious state in all its manifestations. Dr. Blatz thus makes use of both empirical observations and the results of introspection, and, as might be expected, some of his conclusions run counter to those reached in much current psychological discussion. But proof of the forcible influence of the theory and its author may be found in the impressive number of books and articles alrea

Guilford Publications Treating Trauma in Adolescents
Book SynopsisThis book presents an innovative and empathic approach to working with traumatized teens. It offers strategies for getting through to high-risk adolescents and for building a strong attachment relationship that can help get development back on track. Martha B. Straus draws on extensive clinical experience as well as cutting-edge research on attachment, developmental trauma, and interpersonal neurobiology. Vivid case material shows how to engage challenging or reluctant clients, implement interventions that foster self-regulation and an integrated sense of identity, and tap into both the teen's and the therapist's moment-to-moment emotional experience. Essential topics include ways to involve parents and other caregivers in treatment.Trade Review"This beautifully crafted book weaves together attachment theory, neurobiology, and adolescent development with the author's years of masterful practice as an individual and family therapist. The case descriptions of traumatized, hard-to-reach teens draw the curtain back on how to use language and the therapeutic relationship to connect and heal when there has been abuse, loss, and rupture. Straus combines the language of a gifted storyteller with the erudition of a scholar. A beginning therapist will find comfort and inspiration in Straus's generous sharing of her own work, and the most seasoned therapist will feel enlivened and enriched as well."--Anne K. Fishel, PhD, Director, Family and Couples Therapy Program, Massachusetts General Hospital; Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School "Straus gives us the rare treat of inviting us into her therapy room to be witness to the authentic, reciprocal, intimate relationships with her teen clients that are the fabric of healing in her relational model of treatment. This book brings the attachment literature to life in a new way and helps therapists understand their own relational strengths and weaknesses. Case examples of teens with varying attachment styles show how building a therapeutic relationship, over time, can integrate the self and overcome the disruptions caused by early trauma. I found the cases moving, the theoretical analysis enlightening, and the modeling of a warm, honest, related, and constantly struggling therapeutic stance a beautiful example to emulate."--Joyanna Silberg, PhD, Senior Child Trauma Consultant, Sheppard Pratt Health System; President, Leadership Council on Child Abuse and Interpersonal Violence "Rarely in our field does one find a voice so research-anchored, clinically precise, and utterly human at the same time. Straus demonstrates how to consistently 'show up'--to maintain a therapeutic connection when struggling with real kids, real therapy, and real trauma. The accessibility of her teaching is remarkable, making the book relevant to both trainees and deeply experienced clinicians. In a therapeutic landscape divided between protocol-driven and vague eclectic approaches, this book 'holds the center,' where most therapists and adolescents fitfully live with each other. Straus's approach can restore health to kids frozen by life events, in ways that will open the hearts of therapists as well."--Ron Taffel, PhD, Chairand Founding Director of Family and Couples Treatment Services, Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy, New York City "Straus provides a comprehensive description of her psychotherapy model for adolescents, as well as a glimpse of the creative therapist who developed it. She thoroughly presents the core principles of her approach, which rests soundly on theory and research. The many case presentations attest to the importance of developing, maintaining, and continuously repairing connections with adolescents in order to help them resolve attachment trauma and develop an integrated self. This book will find a place in the frequently-referred-to section of the bookcases of both beginning and experienced therapists who have the privilege of entering the lives of these isolated young people."--Daniel Hughes, PhD, private practice, Annville, Pennsylvania -The book is at once rigorously scientific and deeply personal, returning psychotherapy to a place of possibility for growth, creativity, and discovery….Through clinical vignettes, Straus offers a window into her intimate encounters with deeply wounded, fragile adolescents….The lessons meticulously described in this well-researched book echo the wisdom of the great poets, artists, and sages. The age of evidence-based medicine has circled back to love as the most essential healing element. Straus persuasively argues for a return to improvisational, exploratory therapy, focused in the here and now. This book is an invitation to drop your agenda, abandon control, and submit to the chaos and uncertainty of the human experience.--Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 11/1/2017ƒƒThe author's kindness, verbal intelligence, self-reflection, and capacity for integrating developmental neuroscience into psychotherapy represent a giant step toward effective work with adolescents, and with developmental trauma. Her ability to organize a coherent theory, beginning with theoretical underpinnings and proceeding through what she considers the essential ingredients of an effective therapeutic relationship with developmentally traumatized individuals, supports a psychodynamic, humanistic approach to therapy that is sorely needed and makes her case histories come alive….Both beginning and seasoned clinicians will benefit from this....Its presence on one's bookshelf will provide inspiration and occasional reference long after its reading….This book represents a rather large step toward the development of a vocabulary and a treatment paradigm for addressing the 'ongoing expression and enduring cascade' (p.31) of developmental trauma….Providing a deeply wounded adolescent with the opportunity to experience himself or herself in relationship to others, and to experience affect in the presence of a safer other who is both skillful and committed, is sacred work. It is also neuropsychological work, and when an author can clearly articulate in both domains, with consummate writing, her work is an important contribution to the psychotherapy literature.--PsycCRITIQUES, 7/10/2017ƒƒThis book on treating developmental trauma in adolescents is an excellent addition to the developmental field in general and more specifically to those working with hard-to-reach teenagers. The developmental stance and the attachment theory approach combines uniquely in creating a model for working with adolescents affected by difficult trauma in their families….One aspect that makes this book unique is the emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and its importance for positive outcomes in therapy….The use of case presentations makes the book come alive for practitioners. This is a much-needed addition to the developmental field as well as the trauma literature!--Doody's Review Service, 5/5/2017Table of ContentsI. Theory 1.

Guilford Publications Sexuality in Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood
Book SynopsisWritten in an engaging question-and-answer format, this accessible text synthesizes contemporary empirical research to provide a panoramic view of adolescent sexual development and behavior. The book examines sexuality as part of normative growth and development, in addition to addressing traditional problem areas such as sexual risk taking. Candid personal stories bring the theory and research to life. Topics include the precursors of adolescent sexuality in childhood; biological aspects of adolescent sexuality, including puberty and the adolescent brain; the influences of parents, peers, and the media; and gender and racial/ethnic differences in attitudes and behavior. Coverage also encompasses romantic relationships; the experiences of sexual- and gender-minority youth; sexually transmitted infections; contraception, pregnancy, and teen parenthood; cross-cultural and international research; and approaches to sex education. Pedagogical Features *Headings written as queTrade Review"This book provides an up-to-date, highly readable, authoritative review of what we know (and do not know) about adolescent sexuality. It covers such important topics as the biological and social forces shaping sexuality; the experiences of LGBTQ youth; the role of parents, peers, and media; potential negative consequences of sexual behavior; and positive aspects of adolescent sexuality. This balanced approach is both timely and important. Montemayor does a superb job of highlighting key studies and placing them in the context of recent trends in adolescent sexual behavior. Novel features include the question-and-answer format and the use of students’ stories about their own sexuality, which are engaging and relatable. This is a needed text for undergraduate courses in adolescence or adolescent sexuality, and will also be useful in graduate seminars for its accessible, 'big-picture' account."--Lisa J. Crockett, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Nebraska–Lincoln "A very timely book, given the changing nature of adolescents' and emerging adults’ sexual behavior. The scientific literature is integrated with youths’ descriptions of their experiences. Particularly striking is the breadth of coverage, including often-omitted topics such as sexuality in childhood, sex education, and teen parents. Although the text is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on sexuality, scholars and practitioners in many disciplines will find it a great way of broadening their knowledge base."--Wyndol Furman, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Denver "A comprehensive work that pulls together several domains of research in adolescent sexual development and behaviors. I would use this as both a reference book and a class text. It would be suitable for both undergraduate and graduate student learning about adolescent risk-taking behaviors."--Wendy Hadley, PhD, Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, Alpert Medical School of Brown University "This is a straightforward text on adolescent sexuality and beyond, with all the bells and whistles (personal narratives, suggestions for research), making it especially well suited for use at the university level, particularly for sexuality classes in the social sciences."--Paul R.

Guilford Publications Child Development Fourth Edition
Book SynopsisNow in a revised and updated fourth edition, this trusted text and professional resource provides a developmental framework for clinical practice. The authors examine how children's trajectories are shaped by transactions among family relationships, brain development, and the social environment. Risk and resilience factors in each of these domains are highlighted. Covering infancy, toddlerhood, the preschool years, and middle childhood, the text explores how children of different ages typically behave, think, and relate to others. Developmentally informed approaches to assessment and intervention are illustrated by vivid case examples. Observation exercises and quick-reference summaries of each developmental stage facilitate learning. New to This Edition *Incorporates a decade's worth of advances in knowledge about attachment, neurodevelopment, developmental psychopathology, intervention science, and more. *Toddler, preschool, and school-age development are eaTrade Review"In this fourth edition, Troy has built on Davies's excellent work and has added valuable information and insight for clinicians who believe development matters. Without a firm grasp of a child's developmental challenges and strengths, clinical interventions often become something imposed, rather than something offered and used. Troy’s additions integrate current research and expand our understanding of children’s resources and abilities, making this an invaluable resource for all professionals committed to supporting children as they grow and manage adversities."--Anne R. Gearity, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, University of Minnesota "Child Development, Fourth Edition, not only covers fundamental concepts, but also includes the best current research findings. What results is a book about developmental psychology that is very applicable to a variety of fields. This is a useful text for social work and clinical nursing courses in Human Behavior and the Social Environment, as well as psychology courses in Child Development. The detailed Table of Contents enables the reader to navigate to the content most germane to the task at hand, which makes this a practical reference for faculty, researchers, and practitioners."--Peter J. Pecora, PhD, Managing Director of Research Services, Casey Family Programs, and Professor, School of Social Work, University of Washington "This exceptional text combines principles of child development with foundations for practice. It has been my essential resource for nearly a decade in teaching advanced social work students and early-career clinicians. Davies's text is unique in that it depicts the impact of development on child behavior and the impact of trauma on development, followed by vital practice principles for each developmental stage. I am delighted that Troy has updated the fourth edition with current research as well as changes in DSM-5, and also that the discussion of trauma is not limited to DSM-5 criteria. This text explains and supports assessment and intervention for the developmental impact of disrupted attachment and chronic trauma throughout childhood, helping me to prepare students for practice in a variety of settings, and readying students for lifelong learning of trauma-informed and evidence-based protocols."--Karen Flint Stipp, PhD, LCSW, School of Social Work, Illinois State University "My master's-level clinical psychology students have found this text very valuable either as an introduction to developmental psychology or as a refresher.

Guilford Publications Measuring Attachment
Book SynopsisThis volume provides an in-depth examination of traditional and emerging measures of attachment behavior and representations from infancy to adulthood. Leading authorities share their expertise on the Strange Situation, the Attachment Q-set, Ainsworth's Maternal Sensitivity Scales, the Adult Attachment Interview, the Attachment Script Assessments, and the Adult Attachment Projective Picture System, as well as analogue and experimental methods. The book clarifies the conceptual and empirical underpinnings of the various measures and shows how they fit into a coherent developmental framework. Offering detailed discussions of key constructs such as attachment security, the secure base phenomenon, disorganization, and narrative structure, this is a valuable resource for both researchers and practitioners who use attachment assessments in their work.Trade Review"As interest in the study of attachment beyond the early years of life has burgeoned, a number of new measures for assessing attachment have been developed. In this volume, renowned attachment researchers have organized an excellent array of contributors who have conducted careful work on validating these new measures. The editors have provided a valuable tool for developmentalists, graduate students, pediatricians, clinical psychologists, social workers, and psychiatric researchers. I look forward to using this book in my graduate classes in developmental science, clinical psychology, and developmental psychopathology."--Dante Cicchetti, PhD, McKnight Presidential Chair and Professor, Institute of Child Development, University of Minnesota "Rich in history and theory, this is a compelling work for researchers, clinicians, and students interested in the assessment, measurement, and definition of constructs critical to the attachment system. All in one place, readers can find thorough consideration of the best-validated, state-of-the-art methodologies used to assess attachment throughout the lifespan (including the neglected periods of middle childhood and adolescence). This important guide provides links to measurement manuals; offers insightful tips for observation, scoring, interpretation, and the training of coders and research assistants; and explains key constructs. This is an impressive reference for scholars and practitioners at any level interested in the developmental continuity and intergenerational transmission of attachment."--Jennifer C. Ablow, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Oregon "In my teaching and advising, I am always asking students: 'How was attachment measured?' Student responses indicate how little attention is given to attachment measurement, making this a timely and needed resource. I can see assigning this book in my doctoral seminar on attachment theory and research. The chapters are written by the leading figures in the field and provide essential information for new and more seasoned researchers, students, and clinicians. This invaluable contribution is a one-stop shop to compare and evaluate attachment measures across the lifespan."--Richard Lanthier, PhD, Graduate School of Education and Human Development, The George Washington University-Table of Contents1.

John Murray Press The Rested Child: Why Your Tired, Wired, or
Book SynopsisSleep disorders in children are on the rise. Experts have pronounced sleeplessness a 'hidden health crisis' for young people, with 10 percent of children presenting with diagnosable sleep disorders - but well over half are misdiagnosed. Every year, tens of thousands of children are treated for diseases such as diabetes, learning disorders, or chronic pain, when the real root cause of their ailment may actually be a sleep disorder for which they're not being treated.In this ground-breaking guide, neurologist and sleep expert Dr Chris Winter identifies the signs and symptoms of the most common sleep disorders affecting children today, and he empowers parents and caregivers to understand the steps necessary to address and treat their children's sleep problems. From common issues such as too much screen time and night terrors, to narcolepsy, sleep apnoea, and more, The Rested Child leaves no stone unturned. This book pulls back the curtain on the relationship between poor sleep quality and paediatric epidemics related to psychiatric health, rising obesity, ADD/ADHD, pain disorders, and other undiagnosed disorders of sleepiness and fatigue.Finally parents have a resource to help them uncover the root of their children's problems, and, more important, to provide the answers on how to help.

Rowman & Littlefield A Therapist's Guide to Mapping the Girl Heroine’s
Book SynopsisThe girl’ heroine’s journey is distinct from a boy’s heroic journey in sandplay therapy. A Therapist’s Guide to Mapping the Girl Heroine’s Journey in Sandplay highlights crucial aspects of these journeys through the Sandplay Journey Map and assists clinicians to gain perspective on the girl’s journey towards self-confidence, mastery of challenging tasks of psychological development and behavioral competence. Mapping this journey with the mandala form, provides beginning as well as seasoned therapists a means of strengthening therapists’ clinical acuity and overall perspective on individual casework as well as in the complexity of clinical dynamics of the girl’s journey throughout the therapeutic process. Grounded in practical application and examples, readers are guided through each stage of the journey. Two clinical case studies, a compelling heroine’s tale, and experiential exercises illustrate and complement the mandala mapping practice therapeutically. Full color photos can be found at Dr. Heiko's website: http://drheiko.com/book-announcement/.Trade ReviewThrough personal and clinical stories, Rosalind Heiko enlivened and engaged me in A Therapist’s Guide to the Girl Heroine’s Journey in Sandplay. The flow of a “journey” in sandplay provides a compelling narrative. Her exploration of the symbol of the gate for liminal transitional space, the amplification of the fairy tale of Vasilisa that unpacks critical aspects of the tale and her description of the “sandplay journey map” were all were absorbing and vital. This book reads like a long story that one might listen to around a fire that illuminates the room. The book is enriched with Heiko’s references and poetry. I recommend this book to clinicians interested in a template for the girl’s heroine journey as seen in unfolding images and symbols in sandplay. -- Lauren Cunningham, Jungian analyst, founding member of Sandplay Therapists of America and the founding editor of the Journal of Sandplay Therapy.This is an exciting book that will capture the imagination of child and play therapy practitioners at all levels of experience written by a highly experienced, compassionate, and astute clinician. -- David A.

Basic Books Distracted: Why Students Can't Focus and What You
Book SynopsisA decade ago, James Lang banned cell phones in his classroom. Frustrated by how easily they could sidetrack his students, Lang sought out a distraction-free environment, hoping it would help his students pay attention to his lessons. But after just a few years, Lang gave in. Not only was his no-cellphones policy ineffective (even his best students ignored it), he realized that he, like many of his fellow teachers, was missing an important point. The problem isn't phones. It's our antiquated notions of the brain. In Distracted, Lang makes the case for a new way of thinking about how to teach young minds based on the emerging neuroscience of attention.Although we have long prized the ability to focus, the most natural way of thinking is distraction. Our brains are designed to continually scan our environment, looking for new information, occasionally wandering off in different directions in search of new insights. This is not to say that iPhones are not good at distracting us, but that what they represent is in principle nothing new, because sustained periods of intense focus are not what humans are good at. Of course, we still do need to pay attention to learn. The problem is that we think of learning as a matter of managing distraction, when we should instead think of it as actively cultivating attention. This starts with letting go of technology bans, which are little more than a fig leaf applied to the objective difficulty of paying attention. But it involves more active ways of rethinking classroom conventions too. For example, rather than structuring lessons as 45 or 60-minute blocks of lecturing, teachers could segment their classes into a series of smaller lessons, with regular shifts in focus, appealing to the brain's interest in novelty. Simple changes can drastically improve students' performance, and in Distracted, Lang takes readers on a sprawling tour of how some of America's best teachers are improving student performance using concepts such as modular classrooms, flow states, and student-directed learning. Together, these insights offer a new way of thinking about how to not only more effectively teach a lesson plan, but to teach students the most important lesson of all: how to learn.

American Psychological Association Psychosocial Treatments for Child and Adolescent
Book SynopsisThe second edition of Psychosocial Treatments for Child and Adolescent Disorders amplifies and refines the material presented in the first. About four million children and adolescents in the United States suffer from some type of emotional, behavioral, or developmental disorder. While hundreds of treatments are used with this population, few of them have been empirically validated. This volume describes the empirically supported treatments for the major mental disorders encountered in practice for children and adolescents, such as anxiety, affective, attention deficit, autistic, and conduct disorders. The last section of the book deals with treatments not specific to a disorder, such as trauma-focused cognitive–behavioral therapy for sexually abused children. A key aim of the editors is to improve the communication gap between the clinical investigators and the practitioners who work with this group. Hibbs and Jensen have included chapters by several new authors in this edition, while remaining chapters have been updated and extensively revised.Table of ContentsContributorsI.

Book SynopsisMental health interventions for children and adolescents often flow from adult clinical models, which emphasize individual change. Yet, to accomplish long-lasting change for children and adolescents, services need to consider developmental norms, the developmental status of the child or adolescent, and the fact that mental health issues for this population are embedded in family, peer, and sibling relationships. In Intervening in Children's Lives: An Ecological, Family-Centered Approach to Mental Health Care, Thomas J. Dishion and Elizabeth A. Stormshak describe a family-centered approach that engages children, adolescents, and their families, leveraging their motivation to change. Never before has there been a comprehensive, systematic framework for linking empirically supported interventions for this clinical population. Useful as both a preventive checkup and a more intensive intervention, this approach may be delivered in schools and other community settings to have the greatest public health impact. The authors demonstrate how they examine psychopathology in children and adolescents in the context of their ecology (families, peer groups, communities, and schools). They present their empirically derived, assessment-driven approach; illustrate how to shape developmentally and culturally relevant interventions; and demonstrate how this ecological approach works within a health maintenance framework. Given individual variation in vulnerability to environmental stress, periodic assessments and interventions are used to prevent, treat, or reduce harm associated with problem behavior and emotional distress. The literature reveals promising findings, in that highest-risk youth are more likely to respond well to ecologically based interventions, and this approach is consistent with others showing long-lasting effects.Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentsChild and Family Intervention From an Ecological Perspective: IntroductionI.

New Harbinger Publications The Uncontrollable Child: Understand and Manage
Book SynopsisEvidence-based skills, insight, and methods drawn from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help you gain a greater understanding of your child’s behavior, parent them with compassion and confidence, and restore peace to your home. Is your child extremely irritable most of the time? Do they have difficulty interpreting social cues? Are they impulsive and prone to outbursts or explosive rages? Parenting a child who has emotional dysregulation can be a bumpy ride. You’ve probably received advice—some of it unsolicited—from friends, teachers, and family members. But strategies and techniques that work for other kids are usually ineffective when it comes to your unique child, and can even lead to more stress for everyone in your family. The Uncontrollable Child is here to help. Written for parents of children with emotion dysregulation disorders, including disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD), The Uncontrollable Child is a lifeline. It contains a powerful set of skills based in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)—including mindfulness, validation, limit-setting, and behavior-shaping—to help you better understand your child and their behavior, and successfully find balance between acceptance and change, flexibility and consistency, and limits and love. As a parent, you want the very best for your child, but if you have a child with explosive emotions, you need extra help. Let this book guide you toward creating a nurturing, healthy, and loving environment in which your whole family can thrive.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Talking Bodies: How do we Integrate Working with
Book SynopsisThis monograph brings together the presentations from the nineteenth John Bowlby Memorial Conference in 2012, organised by The Bowlby Centre. The aim of this was to explore the growing role of the body in relational psychotherapy over the last decade, and to bring us up to date in thinking about the relationship between attachment, the body and trauma. Questions addressed included: How do we anchor the new understandings we are gaining within the framework of attachment? How might the integration of these ideas about the body change what we do in the consulting room? What impact might this have on the therapy relationship? Can we maintain and respect the place of a secure, attuned attachment between therapist and client, and its healing potential, at the centre of our therapeutic work?Pat Ogden's paper "Wisdom of the Body, Lost and Found" was the conference centrepiece and there are contributions from leading clinicians including Roz Carroll, Mark Linington, and Orit Badouk Epstein. Each in their different ways have brought their clinical experiences to life in their presentations and demonstrated this leading edge work in relation to the themes of the body and touch with clients including those so often regarded as "unsuitable for therapy", namely those who have a physical or learning disability or those who have survived extreme trauma through the painful means of psychic protection resulting in dissociative states of mind.Other contributors include Phil Mollon on "Attachment and Energy Psychology" and Nick Totton on "Embodiment and the Social Bond".Trade Review'Talking Bodies is an engaging, illuminating, and substantive exploration of the intricacies of incorporating the body into the psychotherapy frame. Examination of the implications of attachment and relational theory yields essays with therapeutic approaches that the clinician can readily incorporate. In a historical context, this volume advances the project of relational analysts, who first published on the integration of the body in relational theory in Relational Perspectives on the Body in 1998. This is a valuable addition to our literature.'- Frances Sommer Anderson, PhD, SEP, private practice, New York City; Faculty, Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis; Co-Editor with Lewis Aron, Relational Perspectives on the Body'For years, a Cartesian split dominated UK psychotherapy and counselling provision with "the body" disavowed and "the mind" disembodied. Relational psychoanalysis, attachment theory, and traumatology have now become the new corpus collosum, making profoundly meaningful links. Congratulations to the Bowlby Memorial Conference for yet again providing a written feast to follow the embodied experience of listening to the excellent speakers at this event who shine in this timely volume. All psychotherapists and counsellors will feel more enabled to observe and respond to the embodied mind of their clients and be enriched by the attachment perspective demonstrated so eloquently here in these nuanced accounts of clinical work.'- Valerie Sinason, PhD, MACP, MInst Psychoanal, FIPD, MBC Contributors: Orit Badouk Epstein, Roz Carroll, Mark Linington, Phil Mollon, Pat Ogden, Nick Totton, Kate WhiteTable of ContentsIntroduction , Attachment theory and the John Bowlby Memorial Lecture 2012: a short history , Four relational modes of attending to the body in psychotherapy , Embodiment and the social bond , Attachment and energy psychology: explorations at the interface of bodily, mental, relational, and transpersonal aspects of human behaviour and experience , Wisdom of the body, lost and found: the nineteenth John Bowlby Memorial Lecture , Touching trauma: working relationally and safely with the unboundaried body , The body I want: a psychotherapy with a disabled man , Recommended reading , The Bowlby Centre

IGI Global Techniques and Interventions for Play Therapy and
Book SynopsisThe use of expressive arts during the supervision process for graduate and post-graduate counselors provides a host of benefits for the counseling student, post-graduate intern, and supervisor. The counselor in training is able to experientially integrate theory with practice through the use of different modalities that provide reflection and insight into their work with clients. Additionally, the use of expressive arts allows a secure and strong supervisory relationship, which allows the counselor in training to explore personal and professional goals; verbalize and conceptualize client issues, goals, and effective interventions; and develop counselor-client relationships that allow the client to progress in the therapeutic process. However, expressive arts and play therapy techniques are not often incorporated into the supervision process unless the clinician is a registered play therapist being supervised by a registered play therapist supervisor. Techniques and Interventions for Play Therapy and Clinical Supervision is a critical reference source that provides an opportunity for all clinicians to incorporate play therapy techniques and expressive art interventions into the process of supervision. It presents techniques and methods that allow for more effective supervision for counselors in training, which allows for more effective service delivery to clients. Highlighting topics that include play techniques in supervision, cognitive behavioral play therapy, and trauma, this book is ideal for individuals in a university, clinical, school, agency, etc. setting who provide supervision for counselors in training, including graduate students and post-graduate students. The book is an excellent supplement for clinical courses at universities with counseling programs and play therapy programs, as well as universities with graduate social work and psychology programs that have play therapy courses and provide play therapy supervision.
