Book SynopsisBased on more than ten years of research, Motivational Interviewing With Couples provides a comprehensive introduction to the theoretical foundations, processes, and strategies unique to Motivational Interviewing (MI) with couples. Drawing on Interdependence Theory, this approach to MI positions the couple as the client. Relationship functioning--the extent to which partners are satisfied with, invested in, and committed to the relationship--is viewed as a mechanism to achieve change. MI-based interventions historically have been shown effective in promoting behavior change across a broad range of problem areas, including substance use and sexual health, two issues that are discussed at length in the book. While the initial concepts of this intervention are substantially informed by work with sexual minority male couples, the principles can be applied broadly to couple-based processes relevant to a wide array of health behaviors and regardless of clients'' gender and sexual orientationTrade ReviewFor practitioners familiar with motivational interviewing (MI), this text is a major step forward when working with couples. The authors go well beyond MI for an identified patient with a supportive significant other, to ground their approach in the dynamics of interpersonal relationship. They write knowledgeably about the challenges and opportunities in using MI to address serious behavioral and medical problems, showing how dyadic MI differs from both individual and group counseling. It is the first book of its kind, a theoretically grounded and evidence-based way to practice MI conjointly with both heterosexual and same-sex couples. William R. Miller, Ph.D., Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry, The University of New MexicoThis theoretically rich and research-informed volume provides practitioners with an essential toolkit of clinical principles and techniques for helping couples reach their goals and improve their relationships. Representing a breakthrough in couples treatment and a timely extension of motivational interviewing, this book is a must-read for practitioners seeking to improve their expertise working with couples at critical junctures.

Book SynopsisIn this classic work, internationally known Viennese psychiatrist Viktor E. Frankl, founder of the school of logotherapy, sets forth the principles of existential psychiatry. He holds that man's search for meaning in existence is a primary facet of his being; if the search is unrequited, it leads to neurosis. The role of the therapist, then, is to help the patient discover a purposefulness in life.

Book SynopsisThe international feminist contributors to this book look through the lens of poststructuralism at how child sexual abuse is differently represented and understood in the populist, academic, clinical, media and legal contexts. Reworking earlier feminist analyses, they show how child sexual abuse is not just about gender and power but also about class, race and sexuality. The first, theoretical section of the book critiques normative theories of the ''effects'' of abuse, explores the impact and consequences of feminist interventions and critically examines the potential usefulness of a feminist post-stucturalist approach. In the second part, these understandings are applied to specific arenas of practice with the aim of providing a framework for critical intervention and alternative and better ways of working with child sexual abuse.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThis book offers a re-evaluation of mainstream and feminist approaches to understanding the theories and research issues relating to women and child sexual abuse.Trade Review"The number of books on trauma, PTSD, and sexual abuse churned out each year is astounding. One is tempted to believe that there cannot be much left to be said on these thoroughly researched subjects. However, Sam Warner's Understanding the Effects of Childhood Abuse approaches, from an entirely novel angle, the theory, research and practice surrounding childhood sexual abuse. The result is a compelling study that forces an overturning of current assumptions about the way that the public and the psychological and legal "experts" understand the effects of sexual abuse on children and adults, and how this understanding affects treatment of survivors. ... The result of Warner's feminist-post-structuralist rethinking of the effects of child sexual abuse is nothing short of a revolution in psychology, culminating in a radical political agenda that transforms research, theory and practice as they relate to child sexual abuse. ... Understanding the Effects of Child Sexual Abuse is a refreshing new voice in violence and abuse studies. It is a must-read for practitioners in the field, as it offers a spectrum of practical therapeutic approaches to suit individual patients and situations. Students would benefit from Warner's study, as would any educated reader who is interested in rethinking the way our societies work to suppress some knowledge (such as "violence begins at home and generally at the hands of a male you know intimately") and elevate as "self-evident truth" other, more convenient understandings ("mental patients are personality-disordered")." - Wendy C.

Book SynopsisJung, Psychology, Postmodernity explores points of confluence and, more often, contradictions between Jungian and postmodern ideas. Throughout the book Raya Jones examines how personal meaning emerges in human activity. Jung addressed this in terms of symbol formation, with particular attention to dreams, myths, art and other fantasy productions. Postmodern psychologists tend to address issues of meaning in terms of peoples self-understanding and identity construction, with a focus on self-positioning in actual conversation or on autobiographical narratives. Jones draws a line of critical comparison between postmodern psychology and Jung's descriptions of the symbolic dimension, myth, and the structure of the psyche. The book culminates with an evaluation of Jung's psychic energy concept, for which there is no direct counterpart in postmodern psychology. Jung, Psychology, Postmodernity is an original critique of two key moments in the history of Table of ContentsThe Relevance of Jung.

Book SynopsisDreaming the Myth Onwards shows how a revised appreciation of myth can enrich our daily lives, our psychological awareness, and our human relationships. Lucy Huskinson and her contributors explore the interplay between myth, and Jungian thought and practice, demonstrating the philosophical and psychological principles that underlie our experience of psyche and world. Contributors from multi-disciplinary backgrounds throughout the world come together to assess the contemporary relevance of myth, in terms of its utility, its effectual position within Jungian theory and practice, and as a general approach for making sense of life. As well as examining the more conscious facets of myth, this volume discusses the unconscious psychodynamic processes of myth, including active imagination, transference, and countertransference, to illustrate just how these mythic phenomena give meaning to Jungian theory and therapeutic experience. This rigorous and scholarly analysis Trade Review"Dreaming the Myth Onwards is a timely and thoughtful collection of essays by a distinguished group of Jungian scholars and analysts. The articles stimulate, provoke, and challenge us to review our cliches about the relation of myth to modernity – a most useful exercise indeed, and terribly relevant to where we are headed in the 21st century." - Murray Stein, Ph.D., author of Jung's Map of the Soul"This book will come as a revelation to some readers and as a relief to others. As a most remarkable and astonishing array of perspectives and differing styles of thinking, all offered in the name of C. G. Jung… it is about much more than Jungian mythological perspectives. It is also about image, imagination, psychological narrative, and the theory and practice of Jungian analysis… a kaleidoscopic richness of Jungiana!" - David L. Miller, Ph.D. Watson-Ledden Professor, Emeritus, Syracuse University, New York, USA, Core Faculty Member, Retired, Pacifica Graduate Institute, California, USA"While reading Dreaming the Myth Onwards with great interest, the following sentence in one of Jung's letters came to mind: 'The systematic elaboration of my ideas which were often just thrown out, is a task for those who come after me' (Letter to Jolande Jacobi, 24th September 1948). To be sure, the contributors to this book take such a task very seriously, but they achieve more than this. Inspired by Jung's ideas, they "dream" and also "think" them onwards, and put forward creative ideas about the interpretation of myth and modernity, together with some new readings of Jung's most original theories." - Mario Jacoby, Ph.D., author of Individuation and Narcissism: The Psychology of Self in Jung and Kohut Table of ContentsHuskinson, Introduction: Ordinarily Mythical.

He can feel unprepared (despite the preceding nine months of build-up), useless (despite all the uses the mother of his child could offer him), and apprehensive. However, the new father is about to embark upon the most exciting and rewarding experience of his life. But let's face it, no one teaches men exactly how to become fathers. So, what does being a dad in the 21st Century mean? Dads today, more than ever, want to play an active role in their children's lives and development.

Book SynopsisIn 1958 in their book Existence, Rollo May, Henri Ellenberger and Ernst Angel introduced existential therapy to the English-speaking psychotherapy world. Since then the field of existential therapy has moved along rapidly and this book considers how it has developed over the past fifty years, and the implications that this has for the future.In their 50th anniversary of this classic book, Laura Barnett and Greg Madison bring together many of today''s foremost existential therapists from both sides of the Atlantic, together with some newer voices, to highlight issues surrounding existential therapy today, and look constructively to the future whilst acknowledging the debt to the past. Dialogue is at the heart of the book, the dialogue between existential thought and therapeutic practice, and between the past and the future. Existential Therapy: Legacy, Vibrancy and Dialogue, focuses on dialogue between key figures in the field to cover topTrade Review"This volume, whose list of contributors reads like a 'Who's Who' in existential therapy, will leave the reader with no doubts about the influence and vitality of the existential tradition in a plurality of contemporary psychotherapeutic approaches. The book is a marvelous feast for anyone with a taste for the existential." - Robert D. Stolorow, author of World, Affectivity, Trauma: Heidegger and Post-Cartesian Psychoanalysis (Routledge, 2011)"This book is a tour de force that under one cover discusses the main current approaches to existential therapy, and does so in a highly interesting and engaging way. History, theory, dialogue, meaning, life and death, and the future are all discussed in an illuminating way. It is a wonderful book for both students and practitioners to gain a greater understanding of current existential approaches from an integrative perspective." - Leslie S Greenberg, York University, Ontario, Canada"This is a “must have” book for everyone interested in existential therapy. The coverage of authors and topics is extensive and deep. Read it as a celebration of and guide to all that has happened in the field since May et al.’s “Existence” in 1958. I wish May, Laing, Bugental, Binswanger et al. were alive to see what has sprung from the fertile seeds they sowed. The void still stalks human destiny, but here are ways to confront it." - Thomas Greening, Saybrook University, California, USA"This text is the most prominent landmark in the field since May, Angel and Ellenberger’s 1958 classic, Existence. When reading the chapters of these prominent existential therapists and thinkers, you rediscover the unique value of the existential contribution to the field of therapy and the urgency of this approach for our present situation as human beings." - Bo Jacobsen, University of Copenhagen, and author of Invitation to Existential Psychology. "Daunting in its scope and engaging in its style, Existential Therapy: Legacy, Vibrancy and Dialogue is a rewarding experiential and intellectual encounter with the past, present and future of existential psychology. This must-read for students and therapists alike is guaranteed to captivate the imagination and satisfy the intellect." - Pat Ogden, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute, Colorado, USA"This highly ambitious volume manages to successfully hold together many divergent perspectives in a coherent dialogue of philosophical ideas and practice dilemmas that is truly vibrant and provides the reader with the best overview of existential therapy that has been produced to date." - Paul Smith-Pickard, former Chair, Society for Existential Analysis, London, UK"This excellent book, an edited collection of 15 articles, certainly lives up to its subtitle. ... I found myself surprised by how accessible and engaging most of the articles were in seeking to explain the complex thinking of Hegel, Heidegger, Sartre, Levinas et al. ... For me, the book reinforces the continuing relevance of this strand of therapy today. I thoroughly recommend it, particularly to those with an interest in this area." - Val Simanowitz, Therapy Today, March 2013Table of ContentsBarnett, Madison, Introduction.

Book SynopsisAnteros: A Forgotten Myth explores how the myth of Anteros disappears and reappears throughout the centuries, from classical Athens to the present day, and looks at how the myth challenges the work of Freud, Lacan, and Jung, among others. It examines the successive cultural experiences that formed and inform the myth and also how the myth sheds light on individual human experience and the psychoanalytic process.Topics of discussion include: Anteros in the Italian Renaissance, the French Enlightenment and English Modernism psychologizing Anteros: Freud, Lacan, Girard, and Jung three anterotic moments in a consulting room. This book presents an important argument at the boundaries of the disciplines of analytical psychology, psychoanalysis, art history, and mythology. It will therefore be essential reading for all analytical psychologists and psychoanalysts as well as art historians and those with Trade Review"Stephenson builds, in true anterotic fashion, his own counterargument to any assumption that all he is talking about is the "fulfillment of Eros". He is able to show... that Anteros is a shape-shifter whose elusive nature is changed each time a new generation takes up the effort to interpret his presence on the erotic scene. ... Toward the end of this rich and beautifully written book, Stephenson, drawing from his work as a Jungian analyst, offers clinical vignettes of a depth and delicacy that must be read to appreciate how resonant they are to the possibilities of that aspect of the therapeutic relationship that analysts have long been taught simply to regard as "resistance". ... The attention [he] gives to Anteros in the clinical setting does the service that the late James Hillman so often demanded of depth psychology: "saving" the phenomena it purports to understand.

Book SynopsisSlacktivism is a term that has been coined to cynically describe the token efforts that people devote to some cause, without long-term or meaningful impact. We wear colored wristbands, pins, or ribbons proclaiming support for a particular organization. We might post something on social network sites or send messages to friends about causes dear to our hearts. We might even volunteer our time to work on behalf of marginalized, oppressed, or neglected groupsor donate money to a charity. Yet the key feature of significant social action is follow throughcontinuing efforts over a period of time so as to build meaningful relationships, provide adequate support, and conduct evaluations to measure results and make needed adjustments that make programs even more responsive.This book is intended as an inspiration for practicing psychotherapists and counselors, as well as students, to become actively involved in a meaningful effort.

Book SynopsisWhy do women want to have children? How does one learn' to be a mother? Does having babies have anything to do with sex? At a time when mothers are bombarded by prescriptive and contradicting advice on how to behave with their children, The Maternal Lineage highlights various psychological aspects of the mothering experience. International contributors provide clinical examples of frequent and challenging situations that have received scarce attention in psychoanalysis, such as issues of neglect and psychical abuse. The transgenerational repetition from mother to daughter of distressing mothering patterns is evident throughout the book, and may seem inevitable. However, clinical examples and theoretical research indicate that, when the support of partner and friends is not enough, the cycle can be brought to an end if the mother receives psychoanalytic-informed professional help. The Maternal Lineage is divided into four parts:Trade Review"The Maternal Lineage provides a thorough overview of the profoundly important but little-examined experience of mothering, and illuminates how psychoanalysis can help women going through this process." - Joanne A.

Book SynopsisCan Luther's writings inform us on the fundamental questions of Freudian psychoanalysis? Does an intellectual filiation between early Reformation thought and psychoanalysis exist? Does Lacanian psychoanalysis offer an instrument for analysing theological writings?In The Heart of Man's Destiny, Herman Westerink offers a new reading of Lacan's seventh seminar, The Ethics of Psychoanalysis. Working from an innovative perspective, this book explores the close relationship between Freudian psychoanalysis and the ideas of the early Reformation. Lacan claimed that to be unaware of the connection between Freud and early Reformation constituted a fundamental misunderstanding of the kind of problems psychoanalysis addresses. Westerink carefully explores these problems and shows that Lacanian psychoanalysis, with its emphasis on desire and law, transgression, and symbolization, draws on fundamental ideas first formulated in the writings of Luther and Calvin.

Book SynopsisWhy do we steal?This question has confounded everyone from parents to judges, teachers to psychologists, economists to more than a few moral thinkers. Stealing can be a result of deprivation, of envy, or of a desire for power and influence. An act of theft can also bring forth someoneâs hidden traits â paradoxically proving beneficial to their personal development. Robert Tyminski explores the many dimensions of stealing, and in particular how they relate to a subtle balance of loss versus gain that operates in all of us. Our natural aversion to loss can lead to extreme actions as a means to acquire what we may not be able to obtain through time, work or money. Tyminski uses the myth of Jason, Medea and the Golden Fleece to explore the dilemmas involved in such situations and demonstrate the timelessness of theft as fundamentally human. The Psychology of Theft and Loss incorporates Jungian and psychoanalytic theories as well as more recent cognitive research finTrade Review"We are fortunate to have Dr. Robert Tyminski's first book. A gifted clinician, theoretician and story-teller, Dr. Tyminski holds an analytic mirror up to shadow aspects of human behavior in a way that reveals much of the deep background to such acts; it is not simply a psychology of culprits. His understanding of the potential purpose and value of theft goes beyond even Winnicott, especially when integrating an individuation perspective. The reader is challenged to a fruitful encounter with his or her own darkness by an excellent guide; a book to be re-read."—Joe Cambray, Past President of the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP) and author of Synchronicity: Nature and Psyche in an Interconnected World"Perusing this insight-studded book about the many faces theft presents to clinical practice, I realized the degree to which depth psychology has ripped us all off by not dealing with this subject so fully before. It is hard not to envy Robert Tyminski—the Jason whose beautiful prose and muscular ability to do the theoretical heavy lifting combine here to gather up the well-guarded Golden Fleece. Unlike Jason, however, he remains faithful to the insistent voice of Medea in the psyche, which guides him to what our culture has avoided facing about this theme. Recognizing the importance of the robber to the child in the adult, Dr. Tyminski can tell us what is coveted later by the person who early loses access to parental love and concern. He summons an unsentimental view of stealing, one of the most resolute syndromes of the shadow, to earn his way to a compassionate understanding of the soul’s efforts to survive through theft. Tyminski demonstrates that a patient’s desire to take what has seemed to belong only to other people can be transformed into a deeper valuing of the self’s ambition to be protected from moral compromise."—John Beebe, author of Integrity in DepthTable of Contents1.
