Book SynopsisThe Attachment-Based Focused Genogram Workbook is a hands-on guide for clinicians looking to integrate attachment research and family systems theory into their practice, with particular attention to intergenerational transmission processes.The book introduces a range of relationship mapping and timeline tools, grounded in the use of focused genograms and the Intersystem Approach. Examining the importance of the therapeutic bond within a variety of client-systems, the book outlines a new methodology for identifying childhood attachment patterns, adult attachment styles, family scripts and attachment narratives, and contextual social bonds. Exercises are also included throughout to encourage reflective thinking and to consolidate key concepts.Utilizing genograms as an essential tool in systemically focused family practice, this workbook will help therapists at all levels to apply and strengthen systemic considerations for clinical practice and reseTrade Review "The Attachment-Based Focused Genogram Workbook offers a detailed, practical learning experience for clinicians who want to expand the traditional use of the genogram, applying attachment and systems theory to assessing and designing interventions for clients. The authors present useful, theory supported exercises and visual processes, helping clinician and client to collaborate in understanding complex systemic, intergenerational patterns. As an added bonus the workbook contains exercises, aiding new and experienced clinicians in self-discovery, facilitating the all-important therapeutic alliance."Theresa A. Beeton, PhD, LCSW, co-author of Assessing Family Relationships: A Family Life Space Drawing Manual"The Attachment-Based Focused Genogram Workbook is useful for any therapist interested in using visual tools to gain a focus on treatment.

Moving beyond a summary of those simply involved in treatment, the Focused Genogram leads the clinician in a step-by-step manner into a case conceptualization that incorporates a sophisticated link to attachment theory. All students and practicing clinicians could benefit from the workbook in that it helps take copious information, and allows one to gain precise understanding of multiple dimensions in a visual format.Following the procedure laid out by Dr. Rita DeMaria, et al, will assist a therapist to reduce the complexity of clinical work and create a method to explore the dynamics of any case."Scott Browning, PhD, ABPP, professor, Department of Professional Psychology, Chestnut Hill College, Philadelphia"This workbook is a useful guide for our Couples and Family Therapy programs' practicum and internship.

The Attachment-Based Focused Genogram Workbook is the essential guidebook to help therapists unmask and dissect that deeper past, bringing about understanding of the historical forces that underlie their clients' present relationship problems and thereby making liberation from those difficulties possible.

Book SynopsisDraw on Your Emotions is a bestselling resource to help people of all ages express, communicate and deal more effectively with their emotions through drawing. Built around five key themes, each section contains a simple picture exercise with clear objectives, instructions and suggestions for development. The picture activities have been carefully designed to help ease the process of both talking about feelings and exploring life choices, by trying out alternatives safely on paper. This will help to create clarity and new perspectives as a step towards positive action.Offering a broad range of exercises which can be adapted for any ability or age from middle childhood onwards, this unique book explores a range of emotions surrounding a person s important life experiences, key memories, relationships, best times, worst times and who they are as a person. This is an essential resource for therapists, educators, counsellors and anyone who engages other people in conversaTrade ReviewJulia Bird, Director of ThriveI am a founding director of a company that supports approximately 1,800 adults working in education to understand if a child has emotional developmental interruptions and what to do to make a difference. We train many teachers and other adults working in schools. Margot Sunderland’s books are recommended reading for those who attend our courses. Our trainees find the Draw On books very helpful in training and then also with their children - not just those children identified for special help. They deal with universal life themes relevant for all. I particularly like the theoretical explanation mixed with superb, doable activities/exercises and copyable handouts.Margot is an acknowledged expert in her field and her passion to make such important understandings and ways of working with troubled children accessible to ordinary people - parents, teachers, support workers - is manifest in the old excellent editions. Her suggestions for the new editions for both books are really exciting. I certainly will recommend the new editions to the people with whom I work.What is needed are work books that give the basic theoretical understanding - e.g. why using imagery is a potent way of supporting children to process feelings - with very usable activities that ordinary people can use to great effect with their children or with the children with whom they work.The addition of the cards will help adults open the conversation with children/young people about difficult feelings. These are a real improvement on the books as they stand now. To have images that are so evocative will enhance the dialogue and give opportunities for all involved to tickle the imagination and make more sense and help the children digest their emotional responses to life situations that cause them such pain and difficulty.The new suggestions will take the work with children from labelling feelings without a real connection to deeper meaning to an integration of feelings, imagination and language that deepen awareness and supports emotional development.The cards will not go out of date as I imagine they will illustrate life’s difficulties that are timeless.I absolutely support the need for updated editions of these superb books and think the cards to be incredibly helpful in supporting children to tell their stories and process trauma.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Book SynopsisCulturally Sensitive Supervision and Training: Diverse Perspectives and Practical Applications is a comprehensive text that exposes readers to an array of culturally competent approaches to supervision and training. The book consists of contributions from a culturally and professionally diverse group of scholars and clinicians who have been on the frontline of providing culturally competent supervision and training in a variety of settings. Many of the invited contributing authors have developed innovative clinical-teaching strategies for skillfully and effectively incorporating issues of culture into both the classroom and the consulting room. A major portion of the book will provide the reader with an insiderâs view of these strategies as well as a plan for implementation, with one chapter devoted to experiential exercises to enhance cultural sensitivity in supervision and training. The text is intended for use in supervision courses, but trainers and supervisors will alsTrade Review“This refreshingly honest book pushes the boundaries of supervision and training by challenging supervisors and trainees to explore how their cultural identities inform their clinical work. Hardy, Bobes, and colleagues masterfully demonstrate how to have difficult cross-racial conversations, including experiential exercises that move trainees from awareness to self-reflection. Given the increasing need to understand the vastly different lived experiences of our changing world, this book trains clinicians to be part of that moral imperative.”—Laurie S. Kaplan, LCSW, Co-Director, Diversity and Social Work Training Program, Ackerman Institute for the Family, New York“Culturally Sensitive Supervision and Training will not only become a must-read for supervision courses and classes in psychology, counseling, or other educational forums, but will be an invaluable resource for practitioners longstanding in the field as well as those newly in practice. The readings will not only validate some of current therapists’ experiences, but will help guide them to take new, more effective paths in their work. This is an outstanding, most welcomed contribution to the field!”—Matthew R. Mock, PhD, Professor of Counseling Psychology, John F. Kennedy University“The family therapy field finally has a supervision text of supreme quality that focuses our attention on self of the therapist work and dimensions of culture! Unlike other supervision texts, it doesn’t just give a cursory nod to culture. It provides a clear theoretical framework for understanding dimensions of culture and the relationship to power, privilege and oppression. This book is a resource that should be a required text for all MFTs and AAMFT Approved supervisors.”—Cadmona A. Hall, PhD, LMFT, FT, AAMFT Approved Supervisor, Associate Professor, Department of Couple & Family Therapy, Adler University“Culturally Sensitive Supervision and Training takes a bold step in the right direction for those interested in integrating a culturally-sensitive and affirmative approach into their supervisory experience. Grounding the reader in both theory and practice-based examples in areas such as the use of the self-as-therapist, Hardy and Bobes provide deep insights into the effective practice of supervision intended to transform practice.

Book SynopsisEvery therapist feels stuck at some point. Dr. Peebles offers ways of working with patients that clear openings for growth inside those stuck-places.When Psychotherapy Feels Stuck integrates wisdom from multiple theoretical schools. It balances explicit, systematized frameworks for thinking with sensory-based metaphors. Chapters interweave empirical research with clinical vignettes to describe the power of language choices, tolerating not-knowing, risking relationship, and creating meaning. Therapists from all theoretical backgrounds and experience levels will find something unexpected here that sparks hope and a fresh take when feeling stuck.Trade Review"With admirable courage to address difficulties that therapists experience routinely but rarely talk about, Dr. Mary Jo Peebles has given a great gift to the mental health profession. Peebles is thoughtful, thought-provoking, and consistently clear about ways we can elevate treatment to higher levels of effectiveness.

Yapko, PhD, clinical psychologist and author of Depression is Contagious and The Discriminating Therapist "Peebles has thrown a lifeline to all of us in the swamps of clinical impasse. Radically integrative, When Psychotherapy Feels Stuck embodies the author’s respect for different theoretical orientations, appreciation of neuroscientific discoveries, mastery of psychological assessment, and extensive knowledge of both clinical and research literatures. Her fluid, accessible writing is rich with clinical anecdotes, arresting metaphors, and the practical advice that comes only from decades of experience. I learned a lot and recommend this book to therapists of all backgrounds, levels of experience, clinical settings, and theoretical orientations."Nancy McWilliams, PhD, ABPP; Rutgers Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology"In this engaging new book, Mary Jo Peebles takes the reader on a journey to the heart of stuckness. She uses neuroscientific findings, psychoanalytic insight, and her own subjective experience to illuminate how we all get stuck and how we might find a way out. Her prose is poetic and jargon free, and the result is a deeply moving and intellectually creative overview of what psychotherapy is all about. I found her insights extremely useful in my work and you will too. I highly recommend it to both therapists and potential patients." Glen O. Gabbard, MD, author of Love and Hate in the Analytic Setting"A wealth of wisdom! Dr. Peebles has given us a gift that draws from years of experience and a reading of diverse literatures. Her book is paved with clinical insights and illustrations as she embraces and feels into the experience of stuckness along dimensions of communication and relationship, awareness and emotion, uncertainty and vulnerability, and ultimately meaning-making.

Book SynopsisHighly Commended at the 2019 BMA Medical Book AwardsLiving with Bariatric Surgery: Managing Your Mind and Your Weight aims to help those who are considering bariatric surgery develop a psychological understanding of their eating behaviour and the changes needed in order to make surgery successful. It is also a resource for those who have undergone surgery to help them adapt to the physical, psychological and relationship adjustments that occur.

Book SynopsisTests and Assessments in Counseling provides students with current information on assessment tools and techniques through detailed case scenarios and vignettes.

Chapters guide students through choosing the most effective assessment tool, successfully administering the assessment, and making meaningful and useful results of the data with the client. Test questions are also included at the end of each chapter. Trade Review"This is not just another textbook describing basic information about a multitude of assessments.

Book SynopsisPsychoanalysis in the Barrios: Race, Class, and the Unconscious demonstrates that psychoanalytic principles can be applied successfully in disenfranchised Latino populations, refuting the misguided idea that psychoanalysis is an expensive luxury only for the wealthy. As opposed to most Latin American countries, where psychoanalysis is seen as a practice tied to the promotion of social justice, in the United States psychoanalysis has been viewed as reserved for the well-to-do, assuming that poor people lack the sophistication that psychoanalysis requires, thus heeding invisible but no less rigid class boundaries. Challenging such discrimination, the authors testify to the efficacy of psychoanalysis in the barrios, upending the unfounded widespread belief that poor people are so consumed with the pressures of everyday survival that they only benefit from symptom-focused interventions. Sharing vivid vignettes of psychoanalytic treatments, this collection sheds liTrade Review"Since its origins, psychoanalysis has been faced with two crucial questions: are its theories universal or culturally determined? Should treatment be made available to all, and if so, at what cost? These questions continue to haunt contemporary psychoanalytic practice. Psychoanalysis in the Barrios: Race, Class, and the Unconscious presents a diverse array of responses to and provocative reformulations of these century-old concerns, as for instance whether there is a cultural specificity to Cuban scopophilic perversions, or how one offers treatment to impoverished, working-class urban Americans? How does contemporary fiction, art, and music help us understand these questions? Patricia Gherovici’s and Chris Christian’s edited volume should be required reading for all analytic trainees and students of psychology."-Rubén Gallo, author of Freud’s Mexico: Into the Wilds of Psychoanalysis and member of the board, Sigmund Freud Museum, Vienna, Austria"This book may well launch a much needed revolution in the delivery of mental health services to Latino and impoverished communities. The essays in this collection, many new voices along with voices we have learned to trust and listen to, bring the reader into the world of the ‘barrio’ where our assumptions about class, and race, and gender, but also about psychoanalytic practice will be transformed. Dedicated by Gherovici and Christian to educating our profession about the injustices and distortions of mental health work in those communities, this book will actually do something much more, namely contribute to the transformation of psychoanalysis in its theories of subjectivity and in its practices. We read here to discover a community we do not easily get to know or work with. But what we will read here can alter us."-Adrienne Harris, New York University, and the Sandor Ferenczi Center at the New School, USA"Working in and against a U.S. medical industrial complex that seeks to commodify every aspect of health—including mental health—this sui generis collection underscores how psychoanalysis is not only possible in the barrios but indeed indispensable to it. This book achieves something truly remarkable: the integration of critical race studies with psychoanalysis. It illustrates how a retooled psychoanalytic practice can be oriented toward progressive social transformations of race, gender, class, and capitalism for Latinidad."-David L.

Book SynopsisThis innovative text utilizes Kohlberg's stages of moral development, demonstrating how they can be effectively applied to couple and marriage therapy.Facilitating moral stage development has been found to improve couples' ability to relate to one another, enhancing trust, transparency, communication, and intimacy. Based on empirical research and Kohlberg's classic stages of development, the book showcases the Conceptual Template, a tool for therapists to guide their clients in thinking more objectively about the reality being experienced, their own subjectivity, and how to work together as a couple to mindfully solve problems. With an extensive Instructional Manual as well as a transcript of the author teaching the Conceptual Template process to a therapist, Moral Development in Couple Therapy illustrates a highly practical approach to counseling that helps couples achieve a more rational level of moral judgment and reasoning.Filled with practicalTrade Review"I have incorporated Dr. Ries’ universal concepts into my practice and have seen the improvements with my clients. This curriculum helps couples in all levels of their marriages for both prevention and intervention in the framework of a critical thinking approach. The book is presented in a structured, useful, and practical manner and is a great tool for the new or seasoned therapist looking to work with couples." – Oudlay Tom, LCSW"I was first introduced to the Conceptual Template nearly 20 years ago, while working with challenged youth at a local high school. I was immediately struck by its direct and positive effect in addressing a wide range of social and emotional challenges and needs. As I strive to apply the understanding of these concepts in both my professional and personal life, I continuously gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of their importance and their effectiveness in dealing with matters both trivial and profound. Rarely have I come across a teaching so effective and universally applicable in the resolution of conflict and the promotion of understanding and harmony. I believe the reader will find the understanding and use of the concepts discussed within the conceptual template to be most helpful in meeting the inevitable challenges presented to us by life itself." – Steven A. Lopes NHD, MA, LMT, Behavioral Health Specialist, Natural Health Practitioner"My life was transformed when I learned Dr Ries' Conceptual Template over 30 years ago. I still use his concepts in my daily life with my spouse, children, friends, students, and even my corporate clients. His concepts and template help me better interact with the world around me as I practice a more objectively derived perspective. I have become a more authentic human being through his work. I find that I can make better decisions, more effectively manage conflict, better support those close to me, and accept others for who they are. I highly recommend a deep dive into his work." – Dr Tim Buividas, partner at The Corporate Learning Institute and adjunct professor since 1997."I have incorporated Dr. Ries’ universal concepts into my practice and have seen the improvements with my clients.

Book SynopsisWhile transference has been fully described in the literature, countertransference has been viewed as its ugly sibling, and hence there are still not as many reflective accounts or guidance for trainees about how to handle difficult emotions, such as shame and envy and conflict in the consulting room. As a counterpoint, this book provides an integrative guide for therapists on the concept of countertransference, and takes a critical stance on the phenomenon, and theorising, about the so-called countertransference, viewing it as a framework to explore the transformative potential in managing strong emotions and difficult transactions. With an explicit focus on teaching, this book informs therapeutic practice by mixing theories and case studies from the authors'' own clinical and teaching experiences, which involves the reader in case studies, reflection and action points. Countertransference is explored in a wide range of clinical settings, including in reflective practice andTrade Review"As psychological therapists, what do you do with your thoughts and feelings that arise in the consulting room?Are you more 'person centred', only occasionally telling the client how they make you feel? Are you 'relational', thinking it would be wrong not to share something of yourself? Are you a 'Freudian', assuming it is important to maintain that blank screen? Are you a 'Lacanian', who thinks it would be persecutory to interpret the therapeutic relationship? Are you 'existential', valuing phenomenology's bracketing/ the epoché? Are you more 'behavioural', and consider your experiences of the client relatively unimportant? Or, are you none of these? If you ever wondered about any of them - this is the book to find answers!

Book SynopsisHumanitarian aid workers are trying to make a difference in an increasingly dangerous world. Psychosocial Support for Humanitarian Aid Workers: A Roadmap of Trauma and Critical Incident Care highlights the risks of such work, educates professionals responsible for their duty of care, and brings together current thinking to promote collaborative working to support the carers of our world. From the humanitarian aid worker trying to organise support amongst chaos, to the professional offering a safe place for recovery, all of these individuals are at risk of becoming traumatised. Therefore, it is vital that we recognise the psychological risks on these individuals, and that they recognise how they can support themselves, so they can continue to function in the work that they do. This book can be used as a trauma awareness guide for all staff whose work exposes them   directly or indirectly   to trauma, and therefore becomes a risk to their physiTrade Review"Raising standards in psychosocial support for those working on humanitarian response to crises and disaster is only just being recognised by those organisations working in the field.

Book SynopsisCareer Counseling, 3rd edition, provides a comprehensive, holistic overview of the foundations of career counseling, information on the most effective skills and techniques, and contextual perspectives on career and lifestyle planning, all by nationally and internationally recognized experts. Updated chapters introduce important material not often addressed in introductory texts, such as rehabilitation, addictive behaviors, counseling couples and families, and working with ethnic and gender/sexual minority clients. Included throughout the text are case studies, informational sidebars, and experiential activities that enhance the reading and encourage additional contemplation of chapter content. Readers can also turn to the book's companion website for chapter test questions, PowerPoints, and additional resources. Trade Review"The relevance of Career Counseling for educators, students, and clinicians lies in the authors’ commitment to providing a cogent, accessible, well-rounded foundation that details both history and important advancements in the field. Integrated case studies help guide readers through the application of various skills and concepts for diverse populations in myriad settings, while the experiential activities bring the material to life. This book is the essential text for educating career counselors."Jason Patton, PhD, LPC, core faculty, School of Counseling, Walden University "In the third edition of Career Counseling, David Capuzzi and Mark Stauffer have provided an excellent overview of the process of helping individuals plan their career and personal futures. Unlike many edited texts in which chapters are written by multiple authors and are often disjointed, this text flows from chapter to chapter, and each chapter has the same organization. Career decisions are made within the context of people’s lives, and the issues covered in this book—such as disabilities, addictions, and minority status—affect clients’ career decisions. The test questions, lecture slides, and additional materials provided by the book editors for professors of career counseling courses are excellent."Theodore P. Remley, Jr, JD, PhD, professor of counseling, University of Holy Cross"Capuzzi and Stauffer have written a very informative book on career counseling. This text provides an innovative, comprehensive approach that focuses on career theory, as well as on the role of the career counselor and skills needed for contemporary career counseling practices.

Book SynopsisThe autism spectrum presents a range of communication, social, and sensory differences that are challenging for clinicians to address. Family Therapy and the Autism Spectrum provides a guide to conceptualizing those differences and ways to discuss them with clients and their families. Readers are provided with narrative examples illustrating the application of key concepts introduced in the text. These case examples address issues that range across the life cycle, from families with young children to ones with teens who are emerging as adults. Using the techniques learned in this book, clinicians will be able to guide families towards their positive autism narrative.This book also features a visual framework to organize the compelling narrative of each person's autism spectrum pattern of developmental differences or brain style. Using this visual framework and the corresponding descriptive language, clinicians and families can work together to create their autism conTrade ReviewI have known Dr. Monteiro professionally for many years and am delighted that this book permits a wider group of people to learn from her as I am privileged to do. This book is warm, rigorous, and superb in its entirety and speaks to a crucial issue in working with families with autistic children. Both as a clinician and as the parent of a child with autism, I found this book to be immensely informative and directly useful both personally and professionally.—Baer Ackerman, MD, child and adolescent psychiatrist; clinical professor of psychiatry at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, TX.Congratulations Marilyn Monteiro on yet again creating a world of wisdom in bringing together the complex world of autism, diagnosis, and intervention, and enriching us with your formidable expertise and compassion. You manage to do what most practitioners are unable to, and that is break down the stigma, barriers, and ‘clinical’ language that we have been conditioned to use with clients, schools, and families. Not only do you teach about the human elements of people with autism, but you provide us with the tools and most importantly, respectful language to develop a trusting and respectfully mutual relationships with clients. I highly commend your new title Family Therapy and Autism Spectrum to practitioners, teachers, educators, parents, and siblings, and everybody who wants to learn a ‘new language’ and progressive framework, to work with people with autism spectrum disorder.—Eirini Lammi, consultant psychologist MAPS, Australian Council for Educational Research.Children and families with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can be one of the most difficult and exhausting populations to treat. These clients are hard to relate to and their parents often feel helpless. Dr. Monteiro concisely and clearly delineates the various aspects of ASD to make it a manageable and treatable disorder. Providing actual transcripts of sessions, she arms the practitioner with language and techniques to empower parents and children. This is a must-read for anyone working with ASD clients.—Ray Levy, PhD, adjunct clinical professor at SMU, clinical psychologist, author of Try and Make Me! and Light Their Fire.Rooted in her extensive knowledge and understanding of the autistic brain style, Dr. Monteiro has brilliantly written Family Therapy and the Autism Spectrum as a guide book for those who help individuals with autism. I was most impressed with her emphasis on the best description of each individual so as to formulate the best prescription for interaction and care.—Peter C. Ray, MD, behavioral & developmental pediatrician.We need to change our perception of autism away from it being a disorder and disability, to having a different sensory perception, learning style and thinking. Marilyn Monteiro encourages clinicians to engage in such a paradigm shift, thus improving their clinical practice. This will be appreciated by, and of practical value to both those with autism and their families.

Book SynopsisHow is it possible that a phenomenon like psychoanalysis, which has dominated the cultural and intellectual life of the last century in Europe, North and South America, has seemingly had little-to-no resonance in Hong Kong? This book attempts to explain this phenomenon. Addressing the subject from an East to West approach, this book proposes an experience of displacement, as it is argued that the opportunity for psychoanalysis today is not just to be exported to the East, but rather to be re-invented after an encounter with a radically different culture. This encounter allows the Western practitioner to question their experience and highlights the assumptions of Western thought and knowledge. Following this, what remains of psychoanalysis as we know it? How can psychoanalysis be re-thought and re-formed today in a format independent of different theoretical orientations and schools? The book addresses key issues such as: Is there psychoanalysis inTable of Contents1: Two apparently distant worlds: psychoanalysis and Hong Kong 2: How to do research on psychoanalysis, in Hong Kong? 3: The research study 4: Is there psychoanalysis in Hong Kong? 5: Why the (Freudian) unconscious was not discovered in China?
