Jessica Kingsley Publishers Counselling Skills for Becoming a Wiser
Book SynopsisConveying the reality of the counselling room, this book provides helpful tips and techniques to enable practitioners to develop and refine their skills.At the heart of this book is the idea of 'situated action'. By this we mean suspending purely intellectual faculties and exploring a different kind of intelligence - one shaped in the real world - in essence what happens to theory when it meets real life. This book offers thirty four skills to achieve this kind of practice wisdom which contain a mixture of reflection, client stories, quotes and images. This text will translate theory into practice for students and be a source of inspiration and reflection for the experienced practitioner.Trade ReviewA gem of a book: original, fascinating and beautifully crafted. Challenging the conventional wisdom that theory precedes practice, it outlines a range of creative sources that trainees and practitioners can draw on to inform and inspire their work. -- Mick Cooper, Professor of Counselling PsychologyThis is an enchanting and memorable book, which speaks directly to anyone who has any kind of involvement in psychotherapeutic work. It consists of a series of brief essays that are personal, passionate and at the same time philosophically informed on central aspects of the experience of therapy. Fresh ways of looking at familiar topics, such as empathy and intersubjectivity, sit alongside illuminating exploration of concepts that are not part of the current therapy landscape: juggling, adventure, bravery. While grounded in a clear stance in relation to the nature of practical knowing, Tony Evans is not promoting a new theory or model of therapy. Instead, he offers a counterpoint to established models and theories, an invitation to look at old ideas in new ways. I warmly recommend his writing to anyone seeking to expand their therapeutic imagination. -- John McLeod, Emeritus Professor of Counselling, University of AbertayTable of ContentsPart 1: Introduction to Practice Wisdom.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Counselling and Reflexive Research in Healthcare:
Book SynopsisWritten for counsellors working in healthcare settings who want to develop their knowledge and undertake research, this book explores the range of benefits that can be generated by undertaking reflexive research. Focusing on the condition of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), which she has herself, Gillian Thomas demonstrates how this approach can develop knowledge of a condition, but also offer therapeutic benefits to clients by increasing understanding of their condition and the interaction between the physical and emotional aspects of living with a long term disease. She outlines how to develop ethically appropriate research methods, how to carry out reflexive research and reflects on the knowledge that she has gained from her own research, teasing out its benefits for those working with a range of diseases in healthcare settings.This book will be valued by counsellors and other professionals working in healthcare settings, particularly those working with ongoing medical conditions.Trade ReviewInspirational is a word which I find is often overused when it comes to book reviews, however, on this ocassion, I must begrudgingly agree with Kim Etherington's declaration in her foreword that this indeed is an inspirational book, and I would especially recommend it for those engaged in research requiring the management of research paradoxes such as those dealt with here. -- Sara Edwards, Chronic IllnessThe condition of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has a long history of misdiagnosis, misunderstanding and misconceptions. This book shines a revealing light on a subject that has for too long been hidden away in a dark corner. Extremely useful for anyone working with clients who have any form of long-term disease. -- HCPJ April 2009If this book helps medical professionals see patients as people, it will have been extremely wothwhile. -- Therapy TodayA rare exemplar of counselling practitioner-research in an NHS setting, this work is a readable and engaging resource for anybody who wants to know more about being a counsellor or practitioner-researcher with people with chronic illness, or about the needs of people who have inflammatory bowel disease, whether as a person diagnosed with these conditions, health worker, family member, or service provider. -- Kim Etherington PhD, Professor of Narrative and Life Story Research, University of BristolTable of ContentsPreface.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Listening to Young People in School, Youth Work
Book SynopsisEffective work with young people requires empathy and understanding. This accessible book captures the reality of young people's experiences, their relationships and the things that are important to them. Using in-depth examples from his many years' experience as a teacher, youth worker and psychotherapist, Nick Luxmoore outlines a creative approach that will enable professionals to respond appropriately to the complex needs and sometimes demanding behaviour of young people.Luxmoore describes the dynamics of young people's relationships, offering original insights into* the ways in which young people approach intimacy and manage secrecy and privacy* their relationships with siblings, friends and adults* their anxieties about themselves and their identity* how they interact with strangers and strange situations.This sensitive, accessible and practical book will enable professionals in teaching, counselling and youth work to listen to young people, to understand their needs and to support them effectively.Trade ReviewThis little book, to its credit, serves to explore the real meaning of what children are saying and to give lots of examples, counselling techniques, stories and descriptions of counselling episodes to illustrate the approach…The book would be useful for teachers, counsellors, youth workers and trainee educational psychologists. -- Division of Educational Pychologists Publication DebateA book written out of invaluable experience and the consequent insights of a lively, open and creative mind -- The National Society for Gifted ChildrenWhat I found refreshing about this book in comparison to other reference guides is its relevance to practice as opposed to theory. Luxmoore draws from his many years of experience (as a youth worker, teacher and counsellor) and, by using in-depth case examples, offers practical suggestions that will enable professionals to listen, understand and support young people more effectively. -- Adoption TodayNick Luxmoore has wide-ranging experience with young people through his careers as teacher, youth worker and dramatherapist, employing the combination of his skills with great warmth and humour…The 10 chapters deal with aspects of teen life and incorporate mini case studies, references to the established authorities, like Bowlby and Winnicot, and contemporary parallels like Harry Enfield's Kevin…These illustrate Luxmoore's investigation of the source of adolescents' difficulties, their process and the facilitation of their resolution, often through group work and role-play and with an adult who takes them very seriously. This description makes it sound very 'heavy', but the book is actually very easy to read and entertaining as well as profound. -- Counselling and Psychotherapy JournalAlthough there is reference to theory, most of this book is given over to examples of practical work with all ages of secondary school pupils…There were many examples of practicle work within the school setting from individual work either from drop-in session's or on-going weekly contact, group work and support for a group offering peer conselling. It was reasurring to find that these examples came from work within the school setting. Many of the examples relate to situations that adults would describe as "petty". It is good to see these treated with the same importance as some of the more complicated problems faced by teenagers today. The practical nature of the book leaves the reader feeling that these are suggestions of how the problems could be approached-rather than the only solution. -- Community PractitionerThis is a book which a goodly number of youth workers will thoroughly enjoy reading. Photocopied chapters are going to be passed from worker to worker, whilst some sections will be long employed on training programmes to provide a focus for discussion. It is definitely one of those books. The sort you ask yourself – why didn't someone think of doing this before ? Accessible serious and unapologetically written with the practitioner in mind, it promises to have a lengthy shelf life and find a ready audience…reading it was time well spent. -- Youth PolicyThis book is a tour de force. ALL the chapters in the book are of superlative quality. Chapters are easy to read due to the author's "friendly" style. His liberal use of pop groups –Supergrass, Manic Street Preachers – and characters from popular culture –Wyatt Earp, Spice Girls and Harry Endfield's Kevin, Lulu and Harry all ease the reader's entry into the culture of young people… Anyone who wishes to develop their ability to enter the world of others would do well to acquire this book. In words that might be used by of one of the author's young people “totally brilliant." -- British Psychodrama Association JournalLuxmoore describes the complex nature of intimacy, privacy, secrets, ordinary anxiety and anxiety related to crisis. These issues are covered imaginatively and extensively... Listening to Young People will appeal to parents, students and practitioners. It reflects a wealth of experience both of young people and the current complex demands of the school experience. -- Oxford Psychotherapy Society BulletinA short and interesting starter to digging a little deeper in aspects of youthwork that sometimes we experience but may not understand the dynamics of…It involves us thinking and reflecting about what we do critically, and bringing greater professionalism and excellence to our youth work. -- YouthworkNick Luxmoore's book of essays is a welcome addition to the literature on working with adolescents. It is likely to appeal to the professional reader, as well as to parents of adolescents anxiously trying to understand their children's changes in mood and behaviour. Luxmoore takes a fresh look at adolescence and makes some interesting interpretations based on his own direct therapeutic work with young people in youth clubs and schools. -- Young MindsTable of Contents1.Kevin: in defence of thirteen-year-old boys. 2.Siblings: the possibility of therapeutic relationships between young people. 3.Chloe:understanding and helpful with squabbles. 4.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Beziehungen bauen: Die Dynamik zwischen Mensch
Book SynopsisSchon immer haben sich Organisationsdynamiken auch in den konkreten Interventionsformen und Settings von Beratung, Fortbildung, Supervision, Coaching und Organisationsentwicklung gespiegelt. Insbesondere in der Psychoanalyse und in der psychodynamischen Beratung spielen dabei spezielle Settings und „Möblierungen“ als wesentlicher Teil der Intervention eine Rolle. Was für die Psychoanalyse als Therapie gilt, lässt sich zweifellos auch für Settings im Bereich von Coaching, Training und Organisationsberatung sagen: Obwohl die Welt der unbelebten Objekte unbestreitbar zu den maßgeblichen Bedingungen und Bestandteilen jeglicher menschlicher Interaktion gehört, sei es durch die Räumlichkeit, sei es aber auch durch den Umgang und die Einbeziehung der unbelebten Objekte, weisen Berater:innen diesem Aspekt oft nur eine nachgeordnete Bedeutung zu. Dabei sind Beratungsräume als Bestandteil des beratenden Rahmens zu verstehen. Sie sind Spiegelbild von Struktur und Selbstverständnis der Berater:innen und ihnen kommt eine triangulierende Funktion zu. Was bedeutet das für die Praxis von Berater:innen und ihre Räume? Wie gestalten sie den geschützten Beratungsraum als abgeschlossenen Raum, um zu entschleunigen und damit sich die Klient:innen auf den Beratungsprozess einlassen können?

Book Synopsis„Das haben wir schon immer so gemacht!“, „Ich kann das nicht!“, „Das tun die nur, um uns zu schaden!“: Unsere Köpfe sind oft voll von ungünstigen Denkkonstruktionen und inneren Blockaden, die uns das Leben nicht gerade leichter machen. Was tun, wenn sich dieser „Hirnstuss“, wie Tom Küchler es wohlwollend nennt, sich auf unser Wohlbefinden und unsere zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen niederschlägt? Wenn wir gereizt, gestresst und unkonzentriert sind? Wenn es uns körperlich schlecht geht? Dann ist es höchste Zeit, die eigenen Gedanken unter die Lupe zu nehmen und sich von hinderlichen Glaubenssätzen zu befreien. Wie das geht und wie aus dem Hirnstuss ein Hirnkuss wird, verrät Tom Küchler in diesem Buch. Er stellt zahlreiche praxiserprobte Tools und Methoden vor, die dabei helfen, innere Landkarten und Bilder zu erkunden und Möglichkeiten auszuloten, das eigene Mindset zu verändern. Hin und wieder lässt sich unser Umfeld nicht umgestalten, wohl aber unser Denken!

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Aller Anfang ist ein Anfang:
Book SynopsisJürgen Hargens, Anfang der Achtzigerjahre Gründer der »Zeitschrift für systemische Therapie« und Herausgeber einer themenverwandten Buchreihe, arbeitet seit mehr als 25 Jahren als Therapeut und Lehrtherapeut auf der Basis sich ständig fortentwickelnder systemischer Konzepte. Mit »Aller Anfang ist ein Anfang« legt er eine Bilanz seiner Arbeit vor. Ein wesentliches Ergebnis ist für ihn die Erkenntnis, dass jedes, auch ein zweites oder drittes Gespräch mit Klientinnen und Kundinnen als »Erstgespräch« angesehen werden kann, entwickelt sich doch jede Person fortwährend. Vor dem Hintergrund seines ressourcenorientierten Ansatzes liegt somit ein Schwerpunkt auf Erstgesprächen, die es unter Berücksichtigung der Kompetenzen der Klienten/Kunden ziel- und passgenau zu strukturieren gilt. Und das erst recht, seitdem empirisch belegt ist, welch entscheidenden Anteil der Beginn der gemeinsamen Arbeit auf das Therapieergebnis hat. Nach einer kurzen theoretischen Einführung stellt Hargens drei fiktive Erstgespräche vor, bei denen er – ganz im Sinn eines Arbeitsbuchs – jeden Schritt darstellt und jede Äußerung kommentiert und erläutert.Für Therapeutinnen und Beraterinnen erweist sich das Buch als eine Fundgrube, insbesondere was schwierig erscheinende Situationen angeht.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Perfektionismus und seine vielfältigen
Book SynopsisDas Buch informiert darüber, wie gesellschaftlich prämiertes Optimierungsfieber, Exzellenzstreben und übergroße Leistungsbereitschaft psychisch belasten und mit welchen Interventionen Psychotherapeuten und Berater die Ressourcen der Betroffenen für einen gesünderen Umgang damit wecken können. Eines der zentralen Versprechen der Moderne an ihre Zeitgenossen ist: Jeder Mensch kann und sollte dringend an seiner Verbesserung, ja am besten Vervollkommnung arbeiten. Aber die Reihe der psychischen Probleme, mit denen dieser Perfektionismus in Zusammenhang gebracht wird, verlängert sich immer mehr: Depressionen, Ess- und Zwangsstörungen, Selbstmordgedanken und chronisches Erschöpfungssyndrom, soziale Ängste, Neigung zu Schönheitsoperationen und Burnout. Das Buch führt in die wichtigsten, teilweise widersprüchlichen Konzepte von Perfektionismus ein, versucht seine transdiagnostische Rolle bei verschiedenen psychischen Störungen deutlich zu machen und stellt wichtige therapeutische Ansatzpunkte vor.Aus dem InhaltMögliche Ursachen – Gesellschaftlicher Hintergrund – Psychische Folgen – Das instabile Selbst – Therapieziele – Therapeutische Beziehung – Exploration – Interventionen – Einladung zu einem perfektionsfreies Leben.Der AutorNils Spitzer ist Psychologischer Psychotherapeut (kognitive Verhaltenstherapie) in freier Praxis, Dozent, Autor zahlreicher Artikel und Mitherausgeber der Zeitschrift für Rational-Emotive & Kognitive Verhaltenstherapie.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Jugendliche im Übergang zwischen Schule und Beruf: Psychische Belastungen und Ressourcen
Book SynopsisIm Zentrum dieses Buchs steht die psychische Gesundheit junger Menschen im Übergang von der Schule zum Beruf. Diese Übergangsphase ist für viele Jugendliche eine eher schwierige Phase. Das Buch zeigt die Hintergründe der Schwierigkeiten auf und verdeutlicht, warum gering qualifizierte Jugendliche oder diejenigen mit psychischen Belastungen besondere Mühe haben, Anschluss zu finden. Tatsächlich steigt in Übergangsphasen, so auch in der Adoleszenz, das Risiko, eine psychische Erkrankung zu entwickeln. Zudem bringt der im Jugendalter erfolgende Wechsel zwischen Ausbildung und Arbeitswelt einen Anstieg von beruflichen und persönlichen Anforderungen mit sich, den nicht alle bewältigen können. Für Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene ist es jedoch essenziell, im Arbeitsprozess Fuß fassen zu können und integriert zu bleiben, um sich gesund entwickeln zu können. Dieses Buch präsentiert unterschiedliche empirische Arbeiten, die sich mit vielfältigen Aspekten der Übergangsphase zwischen Schule und Arbeit befassen. Die empirischen Befunde werden von relevanten Akteuren aus der Praxis kommentiert. Das Thema dieses Buchs ist von besonderer Bedeutung für die verschiedenen Berufsgruppen aber auch Familienangehörigen, welche Jugendliche in diesem Übergang begleiten, z.B. Eltern, Lehrer oder Coachs. Herausgeberinnen Filomena Sabatella, lic. phil. studierte Psychologie an der Universität Zürich. Zurzeit arbeitet sie am Psychologischen Institut der ZHAW.

John Wiley & Sons Inc 101 Healing Stories Using Metaphors in Therapy
Book SynopsisA collection of stories, grouped by therapeutic outcome, for therapists to use with clients searching for solutions to or enlightenment about their problems.Trade Review"George Burns' 101 Healing Stories: Using metaphors in Therapy will reignite the spirit that can enhance everyone's commitment to help people help themselves." "For anyone planning (or even considering) the implementation of metaphors in healing, this book is a must-read. It provides a comprehensive look at the topic -- in a very user friendly style." (Brian Alman, Ph.D., author of The Six Steps To Freedom, Self-Hypnosis, and Thin Meditations I was captivated by this book from the Introduction to the final page. George Burns is a rarity. He is not only a master storyteller, he is able to do what few artists blessed with a disciplined genius can do. He can describe what he did and why he did it. This book is like taking a master course in metaphor and therapeutic storytelling, complete with suggested exercises to individualize and expand the learning. The format of the book follows the traditional teaching model that makes learning easier: Tell what you are going to do, do it, then describe what you did. The book is divided into three parts: [An overview of ] Metaphor Therapy, Healing Stories, and Creating Your Own Metaphors. Since I supervise and teach students and interns and conduct workshops for licensed mental health professionals, I decided to take the book out for a "test drive" and used this book as the core of my training for a semester. I started with the format found in the introduction. Unlike most books, I found the Introduction section crucial to the reading of 101 Healing Stories. It outlines not only how one was to use the book, but how to approach the creation, development, and presentation of therapeutic stories. In my class, this outline was invaluable for those students who found the task of therapeutic metaphor initially daunting. It outlined the process they were about to experience in small, reasonable, easily understood steps. It also reminded the more seasoned therapists of Erickson's admonition of the need to create metaphors for the individual client, rather than just apply a predetermined intervention to a diagnostic category. In that same way, the Introduction presents an open mindset for the reader to experience the stories as examples and stimuli rather than as stock stories to indiscriminately inject into clients. Part One, Metaphor Therapy, presents the rationale and uses of storytelling. It succinctly lists Ten Guidelines for Effective Storytelling including Six Guidelines for the Storyteller's Voice. These guidelines were very helpful for my beginning students and nice reminders that the more seasoned therapists could review. Part Two, Healing Stories, contained ten examples each of ten general goals of Healing Stories: Enhancing Empowerment, Acquiring Acceptance, Reframing Negative Attitudes, Changing Patterns of Behavior, Learning from Experience, Attaining Goals, Cultivating Compassion, Developing Wisdom, Caring for yourself, and Enhancing Happiness. Each of the stories was preceded by an outline of its therapeutic characteristics: Problems Addressed, Resources Developed and Outcomes Offered. This format makes it easy to teach and to learn. By listing the therapeutic characteristics prior to telling the story and reviewing the therapeutic characteristics afterwards, the pattern of the development of therapeutic stories (described in Part three of the book) becomes evident. The stories themselves are delightful. They are filled with humor and insight. Part Three is Creating Your Own Metaphors. It includes How to Do It and How Not to Do It and Using the PRO-Approach to Create Your Own Healing Stories. These sections are a structured review of what is intuitively suggested in Part Two. I found this very useful in translating the intuitive feelings that were stimulated by the story formats into concrete story-making skills. The students were able to follow the suggestions and easily generated their own stories. Part Three ends with Story 101. This is a wonderful story that is worth the price of the book. It combines the essence of Erickson with the heat of Burns. The book concludes with a significant list of References And Professional Literature On Metaphors. These include folktales, cross-cultural myths, legends, stories for children, religious and spiritual stories, videotapes and internet websites. This section reminded me of Erickson's observation that it was well and good for a therapist to trust his unconscious, but the unconscious needs to be fed regularly. Burns truly provides more than enough nutrition to keep the unconscious well fed. My test ride of the book was a resounding success. Both the beginning students and seasoned therapists loved the content and format of 101 Healing Stories. They found it easy to understand, entertaining and they were able to create their own stories that heal. If you want to develop your storytelling skills to the level of an art, I can recommend no finer book. And, it is a good read!! (Review by Richard Landis) "George W. Burns is indeed a master in the art of using stories for healing purposes." (Metapsychology Review, January 2003)Table of ContentsForeword By Michael D. Yapko, PhD. Introduction.

Book SynopsisPatients as Victims Sexual Abuse in Psychotherapy and Counselling Derek Jehu, University of Leicester, UK with specialist contributions from John Davis, Tanya Garrett, Linda Jorgenson and Gary Schoener There is growing concern at the number of complaints about sexual abuse of patients while undergoing therapy. This book discusses the ethical proscription of sex between therapists and patients, and the legal and professional regulation of abuse in both North America and Britain--including many very recent and important legislative developments. The author looks at characteristics which appear to place therapists at risk of abusing, together with some pre-conditions necessary for the occurrence of abuse. He also discusses certain characteristics which render patients vulnerable to abuse, the consequences of abuse for them, and the treatment of the problems they present.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Matters of Interpretation
Book SynopsisAn effective new therapeutic model that integrates the client''s and therapist''s values This groundbreaking book offers therapists and counselors an effective new therapeutic model based on hermeneutics--the art and science of interpretation. It recognizes that the clinician is not a neutral observer in the therapeutic process but brings to the interaction his or her own values, judgments, and prejudices. Grounded in theory yet deeply inspirational, the book is filled with rich personal reflections from real-world clinicians who have used this model and found the process to be deeply transformative. This new approach not only deepens the therapeutic relationship but has proven to be especially effective with young clients at risk for negative outcomes.Trade Review"The authors have initiated a revolutionary line of inquiry, sure to have a major impact across the full spectrum of fields that care about youth development. This ambitious theory and practice book marks a true innovation in teaching. Students . . . will gain a deeper respect for the developmental challenges and cultural complexities faced by the youth they wish to serve. Faculty and supervisors . . . will be amazed at how much more their students can learn when they are trained to use hermeneutic tools to study and support the lives of children and adolescents in the world."

Cornell University Press Unknotting the Heart
Book SynopsisSince the mid-1990s, as China has downsized and privatized its state-owned enterprises, severe unemployment has created a new class of urban poor and widespread social and psychological disorders. In Unknotting the Heart, Jie Yang examines this understudied group of workers and their experiences of being laid off, counseled, and then reoriented to the market economy. Using fieldwork from reemployment programs, community psychosocial work, and psychotherapy training sessions in Beijing between 2002 and 2013, Yang highlights the role of psychology in state-led interventions to alleviate the effects of mass unemployment. She pays particular attention to those programs that train laid-off workers in basic psychology and then reemploy them as informal counselors in their capacity as housemaids and taxi drivers. These laid-off workers are filling a niche market created by both economic restructuring and the shortage of professional counselors in China, helping the government to defTrade ReviewWith this book, Yang makes an important contribution by exploring the subjectivities of unemployed workers in China and by making visible the often hidden ideological struggle between the state and the unemployed workers over the interpretation of dislocation and unemployment. -- Ofer Sharone * ILR Review *Unknotting the Heart offers invaluable information and insights into the lived experiences of laid-off workers and the state's responses in China.
