Even when they are motivated to find professional support, there are psychiatrists, psychologists, counsellors and psychotherapists; we have so many different types of professionals and approaches to therapy that confusion is inevitable.

Karin Blak reveals the rarely considered facts of how therapists work, how they themselves are supervised, how to know if your therapist is overstepping boundaries, the role of a supporting partner, family member or friend, what the jargon really means, how to manage expectations, and when to move on from therapy.

There is a focus on the first-person voice of three clients and reflections on training by a clinical psychologist. Two case studies look at the political and social aspects of therapy. There is an analysis of a previously unpublished interview with Gina by Carl Rogers, a paper on models for understanding hallucinations, and a chapter on assessment instruments which are congruent with person-centred practice.This book builds bridges between counselling theory and practice, as well as between person-centred therapy and the new and important discipline of positive psychology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters in this volume are brief and yet permeated with relevant research, articulate arguments, and personal accounts (where appropriate) which I found to be very much in keeping with the abandonment of any power-focused adoption of a detached 'expert stance'.

Helen Kewell seeks to address this often overlooked topic with a vibrant collection of resonant case studies describing her encounters with some of the old and very old clients with whom she has worked as a counsellor. Woven into these accounts are her personal reflections on how working with these clients has changed her and contributed to her own growth as a counsellor and as a human being. She also describes the theoretical and philosophical works that have influenced her practice - looking to humanistic, existentialist and person-centred approaches to guide her in this largely uncharted territory. Among the people described in this book, we meet Maggie, for whom death is very close and whose day-to-day experiencing is insular, private and diminished to one room and a few hours of wakefulness. We meet Kate, for whom reawakened feelings from long ago and the challenge to strongly held beliefs prove too much to face. We meet Bobby, who valiantly engages in reassessing and reconstructing his life narrative and through this finds some release, and Susan, who finds herself facing life transitions much earlier than expected and learns to transcend her circumstances and find a new way of living. And last, we meet Tom who, despite the loss of all he holds dear, manages also to transcend his circumstances and face death on his own terms. Helen's aim in this book is to use story-telling about real people living real lives to inspire others to consider this work as possible, necessary and meaningful. Who is this book for?The book will appeal to practising counsellor and psychotherapists, particularly those from humanistic traditions and specialising in bereavement and palliative care settings, and more widely to anyone - professionals and care workers alike - working with elderly people in a caring or therapeutic capacity, in the residential and nursing care sectors and the voluntary sector. It will also be of interest to trainee counsellors, general and mental health nurses, occupational therapists and GPs, and to trainers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e`Helen's approach to counselling older adults is humanising, compassionate, and relationally deep.

It challenges the reductive medical view of depression as a serotonin deficiency resulting in a collection of undesirable symptoms to be dispatched with antidepressants or CBT exercises. Rather, it locates the origins of depression in childhood adversity, primarily caused by unattuned, cold, critical, hostile or abusive caregiving. Insecure attachment interacts with other elements of a stressful life history as well as with genetic makeup to pave the way for depression. Such a childhood has long-term impacts on the setting of the stress and threat responses of the nervous system.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDepression fundamentally indicates a weak and non-resilient sense of self, coupled with limited capacities for trust and either autonomy or intimacy in relationships. These are the issues that must be tackled in psychotherapy. Since depression carries a message for the sufferer, it must be investigated for its meaning. Why has the individual withdrawn from life and what are they being asked to change in how they live and relate?\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBefore this reparative and creative phase of therapy can begin, however, we must remember that depression is not just ‘low’ mood but also ‘stuck’ mood. Rigid beliefs and processes that block therapeutic engagement can be gently questioned by helping the client see that they are held by only one part of the self, whereas other ‘for growth’ parts carry hope and a willingness to play and explore. Overall, it is crucial in working with depression to see and to relate to the client as a whole person; not simply a bundle of cognitive shortcomings to be corrected, but as an emotional, organismic, relational, existential and spiritual being.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDepression: An Introduction\u003c\/em\u003e presents a biopsychosocial model, combining developmental and attachment perspectives with genetics and neurobiology.

But what does it mean in relation to practitioners' day-to-day work with clients? Susan Dale argues that all therapeutic work should put the client's needs, not the therapeutic model, at the heart of the process. Here she describes how she shapes her own collaborative narrative approach to work with people who have experienced trauma, whether from childhood abuse and neglect, violence, combat or other circumstances. Drawing on the literature and the first-hand accounts of trauma-experienced co-researchers, Dale weaves a narrative that demonstrates trauma-informed practice and its impact in the real-life therapy room. She includes approaches that are not formally badged as 'trauma therapies' as well as recognised models such as EMDR to demonstrate how such an approach, applied collaboratively and with acute sensitivity to the needs of the individual client, can make a lasting difference to people striving to rebuild lives that have been shattered by trauma.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'In this beautifully crafted and deeply moving book, Susan Dale helps the reader understand the harrowing and wide-ranging impacts of lived trauma experiences through the voices of her co-researchers. Ultimately, their stories of courage and resilience are a celebration of how people can recover from trauma and the diversity of therapeutic methods that can facilitate this. Highlighting that one size does not fit all, this is an essential read for all counsellors and psychotherapists.' – Dr Mhairi Thurston, senior lecturer in counselling, Abertay University. 'There are some good books on trauma, but this is truly a great book on trauma that in the opening pages alone grabs your attention and, thereafter, takes you into Susan Dale’s most wonderful, engaging and informative writing.  It guides the way for collaboration and speaks to the power of storytelling and is absolutely a must-read.' – Professor Andrew Reeves, Professor in Counselling Professions and Mental Health, University of Chester. 'The idea for this book waited patiently for someone whose personal and professional knowledge, training, worldviews, and values could possibly realise it. Susan Dale came along. Her deeply relational and collaborative spirit, compassion, humility, passion and ethical mindedness radiate throughout. A window opens onto almost 30 years of counselling experience as, using ‘trauma-informed’ methodologies, Dale empowers her co-researchers to tell their trauma stories. Research-informed and evidence-based, this recommended book will help you develop a framework for working with trauma.' – Karen Stainsby, counsellor, supervisor and author. 'If you’re searching for a manual on how to ‘treat’ PTSD, or a review of ‘gold standard’ research on the subject, you’ll need to look elsewhere, but you’ll miss out on a superbly inspiring narrative inquiry into the subject. Susan Dale and her co-researchers provide the broadest introduction to post-traumatic stress and therapeutic ways of being with trauma-experienced clients. Both academically sound and experience-near, this should become the ‘go-to’ (rather than ‘how-to’) primer for counsellors and therapists seeking an introduction to working with trauma – whether single event, complex or indeed ‘complicated’.' – Dr Mike Gallant, NHS therapist and clinical supervisor. 'Written very accessibly, this in-depth narrative collaboration brings to life the vibrant connection between therapist and client, using an array of psychotherapeutic models to work with trauma. Susan Dale and her co-researchers offer a rare insight for anyone interested in working with trauma, from trainees to experienced counsellors looking for CPD, with stimulating questions for reflection throughout.' – Tracey Cleary, counselling officer, UHI Inverness. 'As I read this book I found it just the most fascinating reflection on trauma, its causes, legacy and interconnectivity with therapy. The most powerful element for me was the inclusion of the experiences of people who have suffered trauma, the isolation and loneliness it led to, the positivity of counselling and how it had helped them regain a life. This book is definitely one for everybody in the counselling professions to read.' – Steve Rattray, counsellor, psychotherapist and clinical supervisor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents  Prologue Introduction Chapter 1 \t\tWhat is trauma and how does it affect us?

He also discovered that these extreme parts would become less disruptive and more cooperative once their concerns were addressed and they felt safer.

When clients listen to all their parts, they can heal their wounded parts.
