Book SynopsisEach preceding book in the Living Therapy series provides a demonstration of the application of the person-centred approach to counselling and psychotherapy to clients presenting with particular issues. To complement these, this book focuses more on the supervisory element of the therapeutic process. It brings together examples of supervision sessions from the Living Therapy series, and presents each one as an example of person-centred supervisory practice of person-centred counselling. The supervision sessions deal with a range of issues that arise when working with clients who are seeking counselling in order to resolve difficulties from a wide range of difficult human experience. Each supervision session is introduced with a summary of the background, and points for discussion are included at the end of each chapter to stimulate further thought and debate.The book does not attempt to demonstrate a definitive way to apply person-centred principles to supervision, but does demonstrate core principles. It will prove valuable to experienced and novice supervisors, and to those uncertain about supervising counsellors working in areas outside their own professional experience. It should also be read by counsellors in training who are preparing to be supervised, for whom the book offers insights into this collaborative process. Table of ContentsIntroduction.

Book SynopsisThe authoritative presentation of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, this groundbreaking book--now revised and expanded--has been translated into 10 languages. Originally developed for treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), this evidence-based approach is now also used to treat adults and children with complex trauma, anxiety disorders, depression, addictive behavior problems, and other clinical problems. EMDR originator Francine Shapiro reviews the therapy's theoretical and empirical underpinnings, details the eight phases of treatment, and provides training materials and resources. Vivid vignettes, transcripts, and reproducible forms are included. Purchasers get access to a webpage where they can download and print the reproducible materials in a convenient 8 1/2 x 11 size. New to This Edition *Over 15 years of important advances in therapy and research, including findings from clinical and neurophysiological studies. *New andTrade Review"This third edition provides an updated and comprehensive--yet very accessible--description of Shapiro's pioneering technique. Shapiro has consistently promoted research to substantiate the efficacy of EMDR therapy and has also incorporated the feedback she has received from both clinicians and clients. EMDR is a sophisticated, highly integrative treatment that draws from a variety of theoretical orientations. It is experiential and client centered, with the goal of assisting clients to reprocess and heal from their dysfunctional storage of trauma-based material. This book should be in the libraries of all clinicians--it has changed the way trauma is treated and has broad applicability to myriad other mental health conditions."--Christine A. Courtois, PhD, ABPP, private practice (retired), Washington, DC; consultant and trainer, trauma psychology and treatment "An excellent resource on an important evidence-based treatment for traumatic stress. This book is relevant for all practitioners interested in EMDR therapy, including novices as well as those who already use the approach. The third edition offers a wealth of detail to guide the reader in applying EMDR across a range of clinical presentations. Highly recommended."--David Forbes, PhD, Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of Melbourne; Director, Phoenix Australia--Centre for Posttraumatic Mental Health "EMDR revolutionized the treatment of PTSD and has emerged as a front-line therapy for multiple forms of psychological trauma. The third edition of this foundational work underscores EMDR's integrative nature, research support, and sensitive adaptations to diverse populations. The clinical aids, client transcripts, and fidelity scales will prove a boon to practitioners and researchers alike."--John C. Norcross, PhD, ABPP, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of Scranton "It's not easy to take a classic and improve on it, but that's what Shapiro has done in this third edition, with her usual combination of incisive writing, scientific rigor, and deep compassion for human suffering. The strength of EMDR's research base is now available in one easily accessible place, a testament to Shapiro's decades of insistence that no matter how clinically useful EMDR therapy might be, it needs to be supported by empirical data. The book clearly describes applications to the range of posttraumatic responses as well as other clinical problems. It is truly a gift for clinicians--and our clients."--Laura S. Brown, PhD, ABPP, past president, Division of Trauma Psychology, American Psychological Association; private practice, Seattle, Washington "The third edition expands on EMDR's proposed mechanisms of action and presents updated research beyond posttraumatic stress disorder, including applications for complex problems such as addictions and dissociative disorder. It is especially encouraging to see the link between trauma and addiction made clear, given the worldwide epidemic that addiction has become."--Susan Brown, LCSW, private practice, La Mesa, California -Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisARFID Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder: A Guide for Parents and Carers is an accessible summary of a relatively recent diagnostic term. People with ARFID may show little interest in eating, eat only a very limited range of foods or may be terrified something might happen to them if they eat, such as choking or being sick. Because it has been poorly recognised and poorly understood it can be difficult to access appropriate help and difficult to know how best to manage at home.This book covers common questions encountered by parents or carers whose child has been given a diagnosis of ARFID or who have concerns about their child. Written in simple, accessible language and illustrated with examples throughout, this book answers common questions using the most up-to-date clinical knowledge and research.Primarily written for parents and carers of young people, ARFID Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder includes a wealth of practical tips and suggested strategies to equip parents and carers with the means to take positive steps towards dealing with the problems ARFID presents. It will also be relevant for family members, partners or carers of older individuals, as well as professionals seeking a useful text, which captures the full range of ARFID presentations and sets out positive management advice.Trade Review"ARFID Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder: A Guide for Parents and Carers is an outstanding resource designed to help parents/carers understand the complexities of a diagnosis of ARFID, its consequences and treatment.

Book SynopsisIn First Principles, Alessandra Lemma examines the centrality of applied ethics to psychoanalytic practice, The book focuses on the articulation of an accessible framework for developing and exercising an identifiable method - an ethical self-discipline - to support critical reflection on therapists'' psychoanalytic work with patients and to help them to approach the resolution of ethical dilemmas. Integrating key concepts from the field of applied ethics, and bioethics specifically, Lemma re-interprets them for use within a psychoanalytic framework, articulating how we can understand psychoanalytically the concepts of beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, justice, and veracity and deploy these to guide clinical work. Using clinical examples, the book outlines a working model for how therapists can reflect on their practice, as well as devoting a chapter on how to teach ethics within psychoanalytic psychotherapy trainings and outlining a detailed curriculum for teaching ethics. This book is essential reading for psychoanalytic practitioners as well as clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, counsellors, and psychoanalysts who work in the psychoanalytic tradition.Trade ReviewLemma's deeply reasoned and erudite advocacy for ethical self-discipline on the part of psychoanalysts eschews both stodgy moralizing and formulaic guidelines. Instead, she recommends the cultivation and sustenance of psychic space for truth, fairness, and respect for the patient's essential Otherness. Lemma's approach is characterized by a gentle iconoclasm that challenges us to leave the comfort of normative narratives, societal or psychoanalytic, while listening to our patients. Her oeuvre is wide-ranging, writing style elegant, and arguments convincing. The result is a book of rare literary luminosity, theoretical soundness, and clinical significance. * Salman Akhtar, MD, Professor of Psychiatry, Jefferson Medical College; Training and Supervising Analyst, Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia *This remarkable book manages to be sophisticated, deeply thoughtful, expressive, lively and practical at the same time. It offers an approach to ethics focused especially on psychoanalysis but applicable to all forms of psychotherapy and elsewhere too. Few authors have absorbed the challenge of the philosophy of ethics so completely and demonstrated so brilliantly not only that it is a vital element in regulating psychoanalysis but also that it has the capacity to guide and strengthen psychotherapeutic training and practice for the benefit of therapists and patients alike. * Professor Stephen Frosh, Department of Psychosocial Studies Birkbeck, University of London and author of Those Who Come After:Postmemory, Acknowledgement and Forgiveness. *The most important skill in life is how to think ethically. Alessandra Lemma teaches this skill to psychotherapists. To engage in rational ethical deliberation in a mind propelled by unconscious impulses is the human challenge. Stunning and original, wise and empathic. A classic in practical ethics. * Professor Julian Savulescu, Chen Su Lan Centennial Professor in Medical Ethics; Director, Centre for Biomedical Ethics, National University of Singapore and Uehiro Chair in Practical Ethics Co-Director, Wellcome Centre for Ethics and Humanities, University of Oxford *Table of ContentsIntroduction 1: The unbearable silence of responsibility 2: Bioethical principles 3: A psychoanalytic principled approach 4: The ethics of listening 5: On getting it wrong 6: Apologies matter 7: Principles in action 8: Developing the ethical chóros Epilogue: A plea for a measure of irony

Book SynopsisThis important book distils the essence of developmental Transactional Analysis (TA) frameworks that are most useful to bring alive professional coaching competencies. Karen Pratt offers clear outlines of TA frameworks as well as describing how they are applied in coaching, with snippets of coaching conversations as illustrations of the theory in practice.Pratt highlights key TA frameworks in enough detail to be easily grasped but with a focus on application in coaching and other developmental conversations. A TA approach powerfully guides coaches in their listening and questioning. TA is not used as a coaching technique'  it offers psychological understanding of human beings and the meaning they make of who they are in the world. Such awareness is key for both professionals and clients in meaningful partnerships for development. Transactional Analysis Coaching will be key reading for professionals working within present-centered contracts for changeTrade Review"There are few books which bridge the gap between Transactional Analysis (TA) and coaching in a way that shows how these two approaches to human development are complementary and mutually enriching. This book, one of its kind, does just that. It shows how coaching can be a form of applied TA, and it shows how TA can explain what makes coaching work – and how coaches can use TA models and approaches to raise the standard of their practice. From a TA perspective, the author introduces a model and then indicates how models are interrelated, for example the positions of the Drama Triangle are related to ego states and also to the I’m OK, You’re OK framework. She brings in recent developments of the original theories, such as the Mindful Adult, the Permission Wheel, the Use of Power and Working with Diversity. All these are related to the practice of coaching. From a coaching perspective, the author shows how a coach would hear these models in a coaching session, and gives examples of how a coach could usefully respond. She also shows how a coach could introduce a TA concept to a client and invite the client to self-analyse or to co-create their coaching process based on the model. As TA is the analysis of what happens between two (or more) people, the coach themself will be able to use the material to reflect on their sessions, and to plan their own further development. This book is a welcome and refreshing addition to a tried and tested school of psychology, and to the emerging understanding of how to help people change." — Colin Brett PCC, TSTA(O), MA, MSc, MA, MAPPCP Director, Coaching Development Ltd.Table of ContentsPart 1: Transactional Analysis Key Concepts1.

Book SynopsisWhen it was first published in France in 1961 as Folie et DÃraison: Histoire de la Folie à l'Ãge Classique, few had heard of a thirty-four year old philosopher by the name of Michel Foucault. By the time an abridged English edition was published in 1967 as Madness and Civilization, Michel Foucault had shaken the intellectual world. This translation is the first English edition of the complete French texts of the first and second edition, including all prefaces and appendices, some of them unavailable in the existing French edition. History of Madness begins in the Middle Ages with vivid descriptions of the exclusion and confinement of lepers. Why, Foucault asks, when the leper houses were emptied at the end of the Middle Ages, were they turned into places of confinement for the mad? Why, within the space of several months in 1656, was one out of every hundred people in Paris confined?Shifting brilliantly from Descartes and early EnlighTrade Review'One of the major works of the twentieth century is finally available in English.

Book SynopsisIn Our Clientsâ Shoes conveniently assembles a number of important papers on the Therapeutic Assessment approach in one resource, explicating its history, theory, techniques, as well as its impact on clients and assessors. Author Stephen E. Finn incorporates pieces presented at various conferences over the past 13 years, in addition to previously unpublished work, with the intent to allow psychologists greater insight into their clientsâ perspectives.Arranged in three sections, the first set of papers describes the history and development of Therapeutic Assessment, including personal experiences of the author, which ultimately led him to focus on psychological assessment as a potential therapeutic intervention. The second section follows with a variety of essays to illustrate particular techniques of collaborative and Therapeutic Assessment. In this section, readers gain an understanding of how to integrate test findings, engage clients in discussing their experiences of a test, conduct assessment intervention sessions, and teach Therapeutic Assessment to graduate students. Finn concludes by drawing a link between Therapeutic Assessment and two major schools of psychotherapy: intersubjectivity theory and control-mastery theory. He also discusses how assessors grow and change as a result of practicing psychological assessment, and addresses practical matters such as when to apply the approach, how to bill for Therapeutic Assessment sessions, how to market Therapeutic Assessment, and where to find professional support for this kind of work.In Our Clientsâ Shoes is appropriate for all clinicians who wish to further impact the lives of their clients and enhance their own wisdom, compassion, and personal and professional development.Trade Review"Dr. Finn’s revelations have breathed fresh air into assessment practice. His illustrative cases and self examples are inspiring and provide the impetus for assessment professionals to make changes in the way they conceive of and practice assessment. This book is a must-read for psychologists who want to make a difference in the lives of children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families with their psychological assessments!" Deborah Tharinger, University of Texas, Austin, USA"This book is a delightful blend of useful theory, clinical wisdom, helpful guidelines, and illustrative cases. Every chapter is filled with ideas on how to more effectively approach clients. I particularly enjoyed the warm, engaging, personal style of Dr. Finn who candidly presents both his successful cases as well as those cases that had not worked out. In both cases he extracts useful lessons for the practicing clinician. This book provides a perfect bridge for professional psychologists who know the technical aspects of assessment but who now want to use this knowledge to facilitate client change. I will certainly be assigning it for future courses I teach in assessment." - Gary Groth-Marnat, Pacifica Graduate Institute, USATable of ContentsContents: Fischer, Foreword. Preface.

Book SynopsisMany of us know the helpless predicament of losing control of our emotions. We may not be clinically "crazy" but instead "high reactors," experiencing overpowering feelings that knock us off balance, plunge us into depression, make us fly off the handle, or terrify us without warning. We can anticipate, understand, avoid and replace these "high reactions" by applying the methods of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). DBT is an eclectic mix of cognitive-behavioral techniques, skills training, Zen, and existentialism, that has been honed for the treatment of the highest reactors among us--those with Borderline Personality Disorder. Author Scott Spradlin uses proven DBT techniques, worksheets and assessment exercises, to teach us to pay attention to emotions when they arise, assess our blocks to controlling them, and finally overcome these blocks and eliminate overpowering feelings. We learn what emotional triggers exist in our environments, become less judgmental about ourselves when we do experience a surge, and avoid or reduce the distress that emotions cause us. This workbook ultimately equips us to reduce the impact of painful feelings and increase the effects of positive ones so that we may tolerate life's ongoing stresses and achieve a sense of calm co-existence with our emotions.

Book SynopsisThe author of Doing Supportive Psychotherapy set out to address a paradox: although conducting psychotherapy is one of the most intimate and exciting things a mental health professional can do, many textbooks on the subject are dull, with formal, stilted dialogue between patient and therapist which prompts the question, "Does anyone really talk like that?" This text was designed to be different. In a dynamic, informal style, the book draws the reader in, providing the essential building blocks that are both applicable to any mental health discipline and compatible with any type of psychotherapy. The dozens of case examples presented were taken from actual cases and illustrate a full range of interactionsfrom the excellent to the seemingly ineffective: all have instructional value. Likewise, the dialogue between therapist and patient is conversational in a realistic way, sometimes eloquent, sometimes not. This approach gives the reader a true sense of the scope of the therapeutic interaction. In addition, the underlying structure of the book is logical and easy to grasp, beginning with the evolution of supportive psychotherapy and ending with a chapter on termination. • The principles of learning to do a psychodynamic formulation are outlined in a step-by-step fashion, making it easy to learn, progress, and practice.• The concepts and techniques explored throughout the book are grounded in the psychotherapy literature, and evidence-based research is cited where relevant.• The book emphasizes that psychotherapy is an inexact science, therapists are human, and the process of therapy is a journey that is constantly changing rather than static. This approach reassures the reader, who feels supported in a "holding environment" while learning psychotherapy. • The text is short and sweet, designed to teach essentials and include "just enough" to get clinicians started in supportive psychotherapy. • Although the text is targeted at readers on the path toward becoming psychotherapists (social workers, family counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists), those who don't conduct psychotherapy will find it an essential tool for learning how to understand patients as well as for learning strategies and techniques for keeping a good therapeutic alliance (which inevitably translates into good medication compliance). Doing Supportive Psychotherapy is a brief, spirited book, which functions as both instructional text and paean to psychotherapy. In vigorous, personal prose, the author leaves readers with the message that they are not alone as they venture into the overwhelmingly complex, perplexing, and yet totally wonderful endeavor of the "talking cure".Table of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgmentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisThis user-friendly manual presents an innovative, tested approach to helping teens overcome the frustrating organizational and motivation problems associated with executive function deficits and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The Supporting Teens' Autonomy Daily (STAND) approach uses motivational interviewing (MI) to engage teens and their parents in building key compensatory skills in organization, time management, and planning. Parent training components ease family conflict and equip parents to support kids' independence. Ready-to-use worksheets and rating scales are provided; the book has a large-size format for easy photocopying. Purchasers get access to a Web page where they can download and print all 45 reproducible tools.Trade Review"Sibley has paid special attention to the executive function and developmental challenges faced by teens with ADHD. She extensively investigated available therapies and drew on her clinical experience to determine what treatment components would be needed to significantly improve these teens' home and school lives. Her approach is empirically supported and clinically sound. The program addresses the specific struggles that clinicians face in motivating teens; working collaboratively with families; and building skills in organization, time management, and planning. This book is sure to be a valued resource in an area in need of as many tools as possible."--Richard Gallagher, PhD, Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, The Child Study Center at Hassenfeld Children's Hospital, New York University Langone Health "This book nicely fills a long-standing need for a manual-based clinical intervention for enhancing executive functioning (EF) in teens with ADHD. What makes the approach unique among family training programs is the way it combines practical strategies grounded in clinical and educational research with MI, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and collaborative problem-solving methods. Mental health professionals and students will find a wealth of recommendations for addressing EF and self-regulatory deficits in adolescents.”--Russell A. Barkley, PhD, ABPP, ABCN, Department of Psychiatry, Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine "This cutting-edge book provides a comprehensive treatment approach for executive functioning concerns in adolescents, consistent with the newest conceptualizations of ADHD. The book uniquely integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy and skills training while attending to critical issues around motivation of both teens and their parents. It is grounded in strategies to increase extrinsic motivation (with contingency management) and intrinsic motivation (with MI). The manual will be useful for any practitioner working with adolescents with ADHD and their families, regardless of discipline."--Sylvie Naar, PhD, Director, Division of Behavioral Sciences, Department of Family Medicine and Public Health Sciences, Wayne State University "These are the kids that I see in my practice, write about in my books, and talk about in my workshops. Sibley describes a therapeutic strategy that she has tested and perfected over years of practice with teens with executive skills deficits and ADHD. The case examples ring true and hit on the wide array of difficulties that these students experience. The approach is sophisticated, yet the tools are practical, and both novice and expert therapists can find ways to incorporate Sibley’s methods in their practice right away. I highly recommend this book."--Peg Dawson, EdD, Center for Learning and Attention Disorders, Portsmouth, New Hampshire -Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThis volume presents 12 highly instructive case studies grounded in the evidence-based psychodynamic therapy model developed by Richard F. Summers and Jacques P. Barber. Bringing clinical concepts vividly to life, each case describes the patient's history and presenting problems and takes the reader through psychodynamic formulation, treatment planning, and the entire course of therapy, including the challenges of termination. The cases address a variety of core psychodynamic problems, with outcomes ranging from very successful to equivocal. The emotional experience of the therapist is explored throughout. Commentary from Summers and Barber on every case highlights important points and key clinical dilemmas. See also the authored book Psychodynamic Therapy, Second Edition: A Guide to Evidence-Based Practice, in which Summers and Barber comprehensively describe their therapeutic model.Trade Review"Practicing Psychodynamic Therapy is an excellent complement to Summers and Barber’s earlier evidence-based guide, Psychodynamic Therapy. The psychodynamically formulated case studies are fascinating, and beautifully demonstrate the struggles and learning curve of novice therapists, describing in a refreshingly honest way their successful--and less-than-successful--interventions with patients who suffer from obsessionality, depression, trauma, and more. The down-to-earth and clear exposition of both theory and clinical cases makes this an exceptionally valuable book for beginning therapists, as well as undergraduate and graduate students being exposed to psychodynamic concepts and practice for the first time. This volume convincingly dispels any myths about the relevance of psychodynamic therapy for the practice of psychotherapy today."--Stanley B. Messer, PhD, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey "This compelling, clearly written book addresses important for clinicians starting out in the world of mental health: What is psychodynamic psychotherapy? Why should a well-informed clinician learn it? How does it work? Jargon-free clinical cases--written by clinicians from varied training backgrounds who utilize a wide range of psychodynamic techniques--depict treatment with patients who suffer from panic disorder, major depression, combinations of depression and anxiety, and personality disorders. A 'must read' for clinicians of all orientations, this book will help to solidify psychodynamic therapy and techniques in the contemporary psychotherapeutic landscape."--Barbara Milrod, MD, Department of Psychiatry, Weill Cornell Medical College "Referencing the emerging body of research on the efficaciousness of psychodynamic theory, this volume is organized around 12 cases presented by early-career psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers. The diverse cases bring to light the unique relationship between psychotherapist and client and offer an in-depth look at individual approaches taken within a psychodynamic framework. Each of six core psychodynamic problems identified by Summers and Barber is covered in the cases. With its evidence-based focus, carefully selected cases, and emphasis on creating a change-oriented therapeutic alliance, this casebook will be an invaluable resource for mental health professionals for years to come."--Aaron T. Beck, MD, University Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania “This accessible clinical casebook illustrates how patients and therapists can work together to address and resolve the most common core problems encountered in therapeutic practice. Twelve refreshingly candid treatment narratives demonstrate specific techniques for working through these problems at different stages of therapy, offering useful strategies for catalyzing and assessing change. Both novice and experienced clinicians will find much of use in this book.”--Diana Diamond, PhD, Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology (Emerita), City University of New York, and Senior Fellow, Personality Disorders Institute, Weill Medical College of Cornell University “Summers and Barber have gathered a series of eloquent and detailed cases that illustrate and enrich the approach elaborated in their earlier book, Psychodynamic Therapy: A Guide to Evidence-Based Practice. In this casebook, contributing authors openly share their clinical experience in a personal and candid fashion, offering a window into the very private relationships that develop between therapists and their patients. Indispensable for students of psychotherapy and their teachers, the book provides a rich opportunity for clinical learning and reflection.”--Eve Caligor, MD, Department of Psychiatry, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons "Therapists searching for psychodynamic concepts and techniques that will help them better conceptualize their patients’ problems will benefit greatly from this book. The book begins with a summary of the authors' framework and then follows with 12 extensive case studies in which their model is carefully applied, assisting clinicians in identifying and working with each patient's core psychodynamic patterns. This is an outstanding, essential book for all dynamically oriented clinicians."--Walter N. Stone, MD, Department of Psychiatry (Emeritus), University of Cincinnati School of Medicine -The chapters are well written….While reading the case, the reader can see therapists using a mixture of therapies at the beginning and gradually transferring to pragmatic psychodynamic psychotherapy….This is a very useful and enjoyable book that one would like to use in teaching psychodynamic psychotherapy.--Academic Psychiatry, 01/01/2016Table of ContentsIntroduction, Richard F.

Book SynopsisThis book represents both a milestone and a celebration. It brings together in one place all the theories and models that have emerged from the work of David Clutterbuck, one of the last surviving, first pioneers of coaching and mentoring, who has significantly helped to shape the field; and is published as his 75th book at age 75.Many of the models and approaches familiar to coaches and mentors are based in David's prolific research, writing and practice, from Systemic Talent Management, through Team Coaching from a Complex, Adaptive Systems perspective, Personal Reflective Space, to the Diversity Awareness Ladder. In bringing more than 60 of these innovations into one volume, the book provides an invaluable contribution to the practice of coaching, and puts the evolution of coaching theory into context, tracing its development over time. This book is a one-stop-shop for coach practitioners and students to get up to speed and understand these foundational models. ThisTrade Review"Profound! It is rare to find a book that comes with so much wisdom, years of stories and examples, and the critical knowledge of leadership to grow in every aspect of your life. Interesting and inspiring, David's latest book will keep the pages turning!"Dr Marshall Goldsmith, the Thinkers50 #1 Executive Coach and New York Times bestselling author of The Earned Life, Triggers, and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There"David is a true eclectic, a curious skeptic, and coaching’s most prolific writer. This book is a fitting testament to all that he has given to the field of coaching."Dr David Drake, The Moment Institute"This book is a feast to be savoured. It is David’s fine interweaving of insight, humour, instruction, calculation, percipience, confidence and humility that make this book a triumph. If I had to choose only one source of knowledge to give to a coach, new or seasoned, this would be it. Thank you, David, for bringing your compelling and articulate self to every sentence, and to our lives."Nancy Kline, President, Time To Think; Author, The Promise That Changes Everything and Time To Think"A conversation with David is always fun, enjoyable and spiced with learning, and this book is a rich David Clutterbuck conversation. David draws on all his rich gleanings from 75 years of learning, teaching, researching and practising, always keen to challenge himself and others and go to the next learning edge. To get the best from this rich conversation, I recommend having a good red wine and boundless curiosity with you, as well as responding with the learning and questions that it invokes for you."Professor Peter Hawkins, Co-Dean with David of the Global Team Coaching Institute, and chair of Renewal Associates"A life dedicated to science, human capital and leadership development, with precious contributions to the field of coaching and mentoring… On behalf of EMCC Global and our community at large, I’m pleased to extend our gratitude for everything we learned from David. On a personal level, I’m also so glad to have the opportunity to thank him, as he has been a true motivator and a source of learning and inspiration for me."Dr Riza Kadilar, EMCC Global President"It is a risk writing a book reviewing a career. The temptation to nostalgia or self promotion is great but even more so the rehashing of old ideas. David Clutterbuck is well aware of the risks and set out not to declare his achievements but rather to look at the journey he and indeed the fields of coaching and mentoring have taken. They are very much tied together since he is pre-eminent in shaping both disciplines. What might a reader of this book gain apart from a curiosity about the man and his work? An overview of major ideas influencing the field will certainly be one area. More important perhaps is the way ideas have been changing and the key place of learning his own and the practices in the field. David is a continuous learner in the best sense and is open to challenge and change - if the evidence so indicates. In 75 years he has written 75 books. I cannot claim to have read them all but those I have were influential in shaping thinking. Beyond this his contribution with others to creating the European Mentoring Centre and later the European Mentoring and Coaching Council has been of major significance in building a professional approach to coaching and mentoring. Do you need to know David’s work to benefit from reading? No. Will you gain from it? Yes. It is a short trip through our history as well as an account of a personal journey. Definitely a good read and one that appropriately marks David’s career and contribution for which we are grateful."Professor David A.

Book SynopsisThis book presents and elaborates on the rationale and implications of the transformational dimension of psychoanalysis. In so doing, it attempts to extend psychoanalytic theory and practice beyond neurosis and beyond what were formerly thought to be the limits of analytic understanding. Its theoretical vision sits at the crossroads of the thinking of Freud, Bion, Winnicott, Green and the Paris Psycho-Somatic School. Other sources include the contributions of contemporary French psychoanalysts such as Laplanche, Donnet, L. Kahn, P. Miller and the Botellas, along with the work of Alvarez, Scarfone, Ferro, Ogden, and more. In re-examining the very epistemological foundations of psychoanalysis and their implications for a theory of psychic functioning, it follows upon and extends the radical implications of Freud's 1937 Constructions paper, the thoughts of Bion on intuition and Winnicott's understanding of the working through of the consequences of early pre-verbal environmentalTrade Review"In this very important book about psychoanalytic process and the functioning of the analyst-patient dyad, Howard Levine offers an original synthesis of Freud’s metapsychology with the theories of authors such as Bion, Winnicott, Green and the Psychosomaticians of the Paris School. The result is a clinical approach to non-neurotic phenomena and unrepresented mental states that emphasizes representation, not as a given but as ‘a developmental achievement through which previously unbound or inchoate forces become bound and contained in the psyche." – Evelyne Sechaud, former president of the European Psychoanalytic Federation; former president, training and supervising analyst of the APF (French Psychoanalytic Association)"Howard B. Levine’s book rests on the idea that psychoanalysis is ultimately about the patient’s (and the analyst’s) thinking capacity and the psyche’s limitations in responding to the demands for work made by the clash between external and psychic reality. As every analyst knows, the task is complex, sometimes close to impossible. Psychoanalysts, therefore, need to resort to as many luminaries in their field as they can, granted that no single author, no matter how great, can be credited with possessing the final truth. But then another problem arises: the multiple analytic idioms represent a challenge of their own. Levine brilliantly meets that challenge by displaying an exemplary capacity to navigate between many exponents of the British, French, North- and Latin-American analytic traditions and offering a personal synthesis rich with original ideas and clinical illustrations." – Dominique Scarfone, training and supervising analyst, Canadian Psychoanalytic Society Institute, Montreal French Branch"What are the contents of the conscious and unconscious mind? The stuff that our inner worlds are made out of, the raw materials of our innermost selves? What happens when lacunae, lapses or failures occur, when we observe modalities of unstructured functioning, of unrepresented states of mind? Since Freud, psychoanalysis has acutely explored these issues offering a number of different accounts of the architecture, dynamics and texture of psychic life: the logic and logistics of the soul.Howard Levine is at the forefront of thinkers who are currently examining these issues in a contemporary framework. He expertly sums up decades of thinking deeply about these issues and presents his reflections in crystal clear prose and with all the exciting commitment and enthusiasm of the best psychoanalytic thinkers at work today. This is a book to be read, re-read and closely studied." – Elias M. da Rocha Barros, São Paulo Society and fellow of the British Psychoanalytical Society"This is a refreshing and vitalizing way of considering the clinical work of psychoanalysis: as exploring the intermixing of the somatic, affective and representational components of the human experience in the context of relating to another in the analytic space. In this meditation on psychoanalytic theory and practice, Levine leaves the reader with much to digest." - Review by Endre Koritar, The International Journal of Psychoanalysis, (2023). Int. J.

Book SynopsisWinner of the Scientific & Medical Network Book Prize 2019!In Gaia, Psyche and Deep Ecology: Navigating Climate Change in the Anthropocene, Andrew Fellows uniquely connects Earth systems, Jungian and philosophical approaches to the existential threats that we face today. He elucidates the psychological basis of our dysfunctional relationship with nature, thereby offering a coherent framework for transforming this in our personal and professional lives. Demonstrating the imperative for new ideas that transcend the status quo, Fellows tackles unprecedented 21st century challenges such as climate change through his interdisciplinary approach.Fellows proposes a worldview, informed by depth psychology, which radically contradicts the prevailing shibboleths of unlimited economic growth, dominion over outer nature and negation of our inner nature. To accommodate a broad readership, he first introduces the Anthropocene and sufficient basics Trade Review"If we want to understand the causes of our present crisis and our disastrous alienation from nature, both within and without, we could learn much from this brilliantly perceptive and comprehensive book. Connecting a profound understanding of Jung’s concept of Individuation with the Deep Ecology of Arne Næss, Fellows demolishes the dangerous concept of ‘limitless growth’ and shows how we need urgently to abandon our hubristic and exploitive will to power over planetary life. Truly, a clarion call to us all!" - Anne Baring Ph.D., author of The Dream of the Cosmos: A Quest for the Soul"Andrew Fellows is passionate about the urgent need to address the damage we are doing to our planet. His combined professional background in both applied science and depth psychology offers an all too rare perspective that is in the best traditions of Jungian thought - erudite, multi-disciplinary and concerned with the most profound and pressing problems of our time. His book makes valuable food for thought and I share his hope that it will make even better fuel for action. It deserves to be widely read." - Warren Colman, Jungian psychoanalyst; former editor of Journal of Analytical Psychology; author of Act and Image: The Emergence of Symbolic Imagination"This book written by heart and head, reminds us that 'we may not be able to save what we do not love.' A fine scientific mind gathers fact and technical theory to plead this love’s cause. Analogies (between psyche’s individuation process and Earth’s Gaia theory) are compelling. The "uncanny" parallel between ego’s domination of the western psyche and civilization’s domination of the planet challenges our inertia, nostalgia and hubris, responses Fellows identifies as leaving us traumatized by the task of halting imminent ecological disaster. Fruit of years of scientific and psychological commitment, this new approach excites reverence for the 'panorama of stratified living beings'." - Rev. Josephine Evetts-Secker, Assoc. Prof. Emerita, University of Calgary, CA; Jungian Analyst; author of At Home in the Language of the Soul"We all live in thought bubbles. Fellows clearly declares his bubble as Jungian and he forced me to think about my own, which I suppose must be Newtonian. These two bubbles are unlikely companions and it is therefore unusual to find an author who has occupied both. He has successfully used his wide spectrum of experience to encourage new thoughts, which so often occur when different disciplines are interwoven. I did find that looking at deep ecology from a Jungian point of view both novel and stimulating. This is a well-researched and highly unusual book and will be of interest to the occupants of all bubbles." - Andrew Garrad, CBE FREng; past president of the European Wind Energy Association"This richly detailed book will delight you, inform you and transform you with its fine writing, profound insight and its detailed, original synthesis of ecological science and philosophy with Jung’s depth psychology. A vital and important contribution to the development of the Gaian consciousness so badly needed in these darkening times." - Dr Stephan Harding, coordinator of Holistic Science at Schumacher College, Dartington, UK; author of Animate Earth: Science, Intuition and Gaia"Andrew Fellows, in this remarkable book offers deep and compelling insight into the nature of this transformative moment in Earth’s history, while also bringing to bear equally compelling insights into how human beings will have to respond to the crisis. Ranging from the analytical psychology of C. G. Jung to the most recent insights of quantum mechanics, the Gaia hypothesis of Lovelock and the deep ecology of Arne Naess, Fellows, with his own background in alternative energy engineering and training as a Jungian analyst, achieves a level to synthesis in his approach to the environment that is otherwise unmatched in the literature. This book should be read not only by concerned individuals but also by policy makers at all levels of government and industry." - George B. Hogenson, Ph.D., Jungian psychoanalyst, Vice President of the International Association for Analytical PsychologyGaia, Psyche and Deep Ecology is a work of sweeping scope that explores our rich, multifaceted relatedness to the natural world. Fellows provides a concise, insightful summary of the issues related to climate change and our role in causing this great disruption. At the core of the work, Fellows unveils the Psyche-Gaia Conjecture which illustrates the deep, interconnectedness between human and non-human worlds. This is an important work for all, given the challenges we face at this time of great climatic disruption." - Jeffrey T Kiehl, climate scientist and Jungian analyst; author of Facing Climate Change: An Integrated Path to the Future"Andrew Fellows looks squarely at the painful data on climate change and related environmental issues and the poor record of our collective attempts to address them. What is needed, he argues, is nothing less than a metanoia and a new worldview. As knowledgeable as he is urgent, Fellows outlines a potential contribution to bringing about such changes of heart and perspective with this book’s bold transdisciplinary synthesis of Gaia theory, analytical psychology, deep ecology, dual-aspect monism, and panentheism. This is a profound, challenging and inspiring work, and to my mind is on the right track." - Professor Roderick Main, Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies, University of Essex, UK"Andrew Fellows’ book addresses many important questions in clear language. His open-minded and erudite argument will inspire those who are concerned about the future of the biosphere." - Jeremy Narby, Ph.D., Amazonian Projects Director at Nouvelle Planète; author of The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge, and Intelligence in Nature: An Inquiry into Knowledge"Andrew Fellows’s Gaia, Psyche and Deep Ecology is a remarkable synthesis of ecology, general systems, earth science, Jungian psychology, and deep ecology, all by way of constructing a case for the profound change of consciousness that is the only true solution for the host of interlocking problems confronting late industrial civilization. Valuable for its extensive sources alone." - William Ophuls, author of Plato’s Revenge: Politics in the Age of Ecology and Immoderate Greatness: Why Civilizations Fail"Andrew Fellows, with his encompassing knowledge and deep insight into the realms of applied physics (PhD Dunelm) and analytical psychology (diplomate Jungian Analyst) is more suited than anyone else I know to show and lead us into this complex area that is vital for our global future. It is his sense for the whole of the world, and his ability to bridge or close the gap between the cognitive thinking of natural science and the deep-running insights of the psyche that will make his book an essential contribution in the discussion of deep ecology." - Christa Robinson MA, Jungian analyst and supervisor, published in America and China"Supported by thorough scholarly research and passionate argumentation, this book looks at deep ecology from a psyche-oriented perspective and at analytical psychology from an ecological world-soul perspective. It is a treasure chest of inspiration, carefully chosen quotes and clear directives to engage in what is arguably the prime challenge confronting us at this stage of our evolution as a species: moving beyond destructive anthropocentrism to the recognition that we are part of a larger organism." - Shantena Augusto Sabbadini, Director of the Pari Center for New Learning; author of Pilgrimages to Emptiness"This is a big book that demands our serious attention. On the major threat of our times—climate change—Andrew Fellows marshals all of his considerable faculties in science, philosophy, psychology and spirituality to give us a truly integrative account of this multi-layered catastrophe that demands a complete change in our relationship to ourselves, to the societies around us, and to Mother Earth herself if we are to survive. Fellows invites the reader to join with him and all of humanity in trying to confront this all too real apocalypse." - Thomas Singer M.D., San Francisco Jung Institute"As humans living on credit on this exceptional planet Earth, we must change our wanton ways, urgently! Andrew Fellows argues the case intelligently and with compassion for such a dramatic reversal of attitude and behaviour. And, even more extraordinary and impressive, he shows the way to do it. I only hope many people will read this timely work and accept the challenge it presents so convincingly —before it’s too late." - Murray Stein, Ph.D., Past President of IAAP; author of Minding the SelfTable of ContentsPreface.

Book SynopsisThe first volume to showcase science-based interventions that have been demonstrated effective in promoting attachment security, this is a vital reference and clinical guide for practitioners. With a major focus on strengthening caregiving relationships in early childhood, the Handbook also includes interventions for school-age children; at-risk adolescents; and couples, with an emphasis on father involvement in parenting. A consistent theme is working with children and parents who have been exposed to trauma and other adverse circumstances. Leading authorities describe how their respective approaches are informed by attachment theory and research, how sessions are structured and conducted, special techniques used (such as video feedback), the empirical evidence base for the approach, and training requirements. Many chapters include illustrative case material.Trade Review"Attachment theory has longstanding roots in clinical intervention, which are deepened and extended with this remarkable volume. In well-written profiles of 21 attachment-based interventions, readers are introduced to the conceptual foundations, therapeutic strategies, training procedures, and outcome evaluations of some of the foremost clinical applications of attachment theory. This is an essential resource for clinicians, researchers, and students interested in parent–child attachment, relationship-based interventions, and early mental health. I learned a lot from it."--Ross A. Thompson, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of California, Davis "Howard Steele and Miriam Steele have made a unique contribution to the field of attachment with their emphasis on intervention approaches that make a difference. The volume improves the reader's understanding of ways to help repair attachment problems using interventions grounded in strong theory and empirical research. The editors' careful work has resulted in a comprehensive review that will enhance clinical understanding of evidence-based practice in this area. This book will be of great interest to clinicians and researchers alike, as well as graduate students studying both clinical and research approaches to attachment."--Joy D. Osofsky, PhD, Paul J. Ramsay Chair, Departments of Pediatrics and Psychiatry, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center "Unique, much needed, and valuable. Howard and Miriam Steele have gathered in one place, from around the globe, the most prominent evidence-based intervention programs across the life cycle that build on attachment theory. Key contributors to the respective approaches succinctly summarize their theoretical foundations, the pragmatics of intervention, research support, and issues in dissemination. This is the essential guidebook for students and professionals who want to develop a better understanding of these models, and a surefire classroom text for courses related to attachment or early intervention."--Jay Lebow, PhD, ABPP, LMFT, Senior Scholar and Clinical Professor, The Family Institute at Northwestern University "An extremely valuable handbook for both attachment novices and experts. This book provides an overview of the rich variety of attachment-based interventions, including specific information about their theoretical, methodological, and empirical bases, all in one volume. Clinical practitioners can search for the programs that are best tailored to the needs of the children, adolescents, or even adults that they treat."--Gottfried Spangler, PhD, Department of Psychology, Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany "This volume offers a thoughtful and thorough presentation of attachment-inspired and attachment-derived interventions across a range of ages, from infancy to adulthood. The editors have done a superb job and have made an important contribution to the legacy of Bowlby and Ainsworth."--Charles H. Zeanah, Jr., MD, Mary Peters Sellars-Polchow Chair in Psychiatry and Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics, Tulane University School of Medicine -This book will be an excellent addition to the libraries of clinicians who treat children and families. It does a good job of describing 21 different attachment-based interventions and combines the theory of John Bowlby with practical ideas to increase attachment security, especially with victims of trauma. These interventions can be used from infancy through older adolescence.--Doody's Review Service, 2/9/2018Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisTrade Review"The Clinical Guide to Assessment and Treatment of Childhood Learning and Attention Problems is a timely addition to the existing body of works on assessment and treatment recommendations for such issues. Unlike many of the previously available books on learning and attention problems, this book appropriately offers specific guidance about conducting assessments and treatment interventions for both diagnoses. This integrated approach is so fitting as these problems are commonly co-occurring pediatric disorders. The editor, Martel, provides a critical analysis of the academic and clinical treatment interventions. Each academic and clinical intervention has a respective chapter that offers in-depth descriptions of that given method. More widely known interventions are contrasted with newer, relatively obscure techniques. Especially to be appreciated is coverage of more novel neurotherapeutic interventions including repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)." --Lucia J.

Book SynopsisNonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), the purposeful damaging of one''s own body tissue without suicidal intent, is a common and serious mental health concern. Engagement in self-injury is associated with numerous mental health difficulties such as major depression. Of particular concern is recent evidence indicating that self-injury is a significant risk factor for suicide. Taken together, understanding self-injury and appropriately responding to people who self-injure is critical.Developing a compassionate understanding of self-injury requires not only knowledge of current research but also essential insights from individuals with lived experience. Understanding Self-injury: A Person-Centered Approach offers a significant departure from traditional texts in the field by adopting a person-centered, strengths-based approach to understanding and addressing self-injury. In addition to giving a general introduction to self-injury, this book offers practical tips for families and caregivers, schTrade ReviewThis text offers a refreshing perspective on timely topics for understanding and responding to self injury from a positive framework that seamlessly integrates wisdom from the scientific literature and lived experience. Drs. Lewis and Hasking are pushing the field forward with the contents of this book that are likely to inspire all who wish to make a difference in the lives of those affected by self injury.

Book SynopsisStigma is one of the major barriers to care for people with mental health and related disorders. Stigma includes negative beliefs about and hostile perceptions towards others, shame and self-stigma, discriminatory practices in hiring, promotion and recognition of people who suffer from mental health challenges, and structural and organizational policies and processes that result in inequalities for people who have mental health challenges. Stigma has been recognized as a significant factor in the well-being of people with mental health and related problems and can be more debilitating than the direct effects of mental health problems themselves.The Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) was established to conduct policy reviews and to promote initiatives related to mental health. The Opening Minds program of the MHCC is the largest systematic effort in Canadian history to reduce stigma related to mental illnesses. The program has adopted the systematic development, evaluation and deployment of targeted programs based on theories of change, best practices and available research evidence as a model for stigma reduction.The Stigma of Mental Illness is an important vehicle to communicate conceptual issues in the field of stigma reduction, to document the work done to date within the MHCC Opening Minds program, and to offer practical strategies to broaden the scope and utility of the work for different contexts, cultures, and countries. This volume will be a global interest, given the growing importance of stigma reduction related to mental disorders and related problems.Table of ContentsPreface Contributors Chapter 1: Prejudice and Discrimination Related to Mental Illness Keith S.

Book SynopsisPsychology and theater have often intersected in the most interesting ways to describe characters, situations, and interactions. Neuroscience is in the process of discovering how the brain longs for patterns that we find in theater and other art forms, and practitioners in psychiatry frequently refer to literature and drama to better understand patients. For instance, the Oedipal complex was first illustrated in Sophocles'' Oedipus Rex, and Sigmund Freud largely derived his understanding of psychiatric complexes from his familiarity with Greek mythology.Psychiatry on the Stage presents an overview of basic psychiatric principles applied to plays from the Greeks to modern times. Additional features include illustrative vignettes from the author''s practice and several detailed indexes comprised of plays, corresponding playwrights, and various psychiatric and neurological disorders. As a board-certified psychiatrist and playwright, Dr. Berman is uniquely qualified to explore the connections between psychiatry and theater. This book is sure to appeal to both practitioners in the field of psychiatry and theater enthusiasts alike.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Overview 1. The Greeks 2. Shakespeare 3. Modern Plays 4.
