Taylor & Francis Ltd Working with Autistic People in the Criminal
Book SynopsisWorking with Autistic People in the Criminal Justice and Forensic Mental Health Systems: A Handbook for Practitioners is the first book to focus specifically on best practice for working with autistic people in criminal justice and forensic mental health settings. Integrating current theory, research, and clinical practice, this book provides a practical guide for multidisciplinary practitioners working with autistic people who have offended, at all stages in their pathway, regardless of the nature of offending. The book draws together contributions from leading scholarly and clinical experts in the field of autism and forensic issues as well as the views of autistic people under the care of forensic services. Each chapter focuses on understanding the impact of autism throughout the criminal justice and forensic mental health system pathways, including how these systems are experienced by autistic people and their families and carers. Case studies and praTrade Review'Working with Autistic People in the Criminal Justice and Forensic Mental Health Systems is one of the first books that links together the perspectives from leading multidisciplinary professionals to examine the gaps that autistic offenders regularly face within the criminal justice system. An ideal guide for any practitioners to use within the forensic mental health field.'Dr Tanya Banfield, Head of Criminal Justice, Genius Within, UK'In their impressive new book Anne Sheeran and Nichola Tyler have curated a rounded, thoroughly evidenced, and immensely practical collection. Drawing on a vast array of clinical, research and experiential expertise the editors have successfully and comprehensively shown how criminal justice, mental health and learning disability services can work with, and for, people with autism, their families, carers, victims, and the public. Especially welcome were chapters on supporting the carers and staff of people with autism and on questioning people with autism in a criminal justice context. This is a collection, carefully and cogently crafted, that retains throughout an unerring focus on what works best and I recommend it to all working in the field.'Professor Geoffrey L. Dickens, Professor Mental Health Nursing, Centre for Applied Nursing Research, Northumbria University, UK'What is so pleasing about this excellent text, is that it achieves its aim of being a comprehensive handbook without losing sight of the people at the centre of it, those with autism. Centred on the British system, this handbook is nevertheless highly relevant to other jurisdictions, because of the quality of evidence the writers draw upon and the breadth of coverage of topics. It is highly recommended.'Dr Justin Barry Walsh, Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist, Chair, Faculty of Forensic Psychiatry Royal Australian and New Zealand College of PsychiatristsTable of ContentsSeries Foreword Foreword Preface Acknowledgements Part I: Understanding Autism 1: Autism: Context and Diagnosis Chapter 2: Autism and Mental Health 3: Receiving a Diagnosis of Autism in Adulthood Part II: Forensic Issues 4: Autism and Offending Behaviour 5: Questioning Autistic People: Police and Courts 6: Supporting Autistic People in Prisons 7: Supporting Autistic People in Secure Hospitals and Beyond 8: Offence Focused Interventions for Autistic People 9: Risk Assessment with Autistic People Part III: Clinical Issues 10: Strategies for Supporting Autistic People 11: What Support Interventions are Helpful for Families and Carers of Autistic People in the Criminal Justice System? 12: Women and Autism 13: Victimisation Experiences of Autistic People and Restorative Practice Approaches to Repairing Harm Part IV: Future Directions 14: Future Directions for Research and Practice

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Ethical Visions of Psychotherapy
Book SynopsisThe standard view of psychotherapy as a treatment for mental disorders can obscure how therapy functions as a social practice that promotes conceptions of human well-being. Building on the philosophy of Charles Taylor, Smith examines the link between therapy and ethics, and the roots of therapeutic aims in modern Western ideas about living well.This is one of two complementary volumes (the other being Therapeutic Ethics in Context and in Dialogue). This volume explores the links between therapeutic aims and conceptions of well-being. It examines several cognitive-behavioral and psychoanalytic therapies to illustrate how they can be distinguished by their divergent ethics. Smith argues that because research utilizing standard measures of efficacy shows little difference between the therapies, the assessment of their relative merits must include evaluation of their distinct ethical visions.A key text for upper level undergraduates, postgraduate students,Trade Review"The Ethical Visions of Psychotherapy is a much-needed contemporary analysis of the ways in which psychotherapy is inextricably tied to visions of optimal human functioning, of flourishing, of what makes life worth living, of the good life. Kevin Smith insightfully undercovers these implicit ethical assumptions even in those psychotherapeutic approaches that are purportedly nothing but technical applications of scientific findings. The book is thus an invitation to the often-neglected task of exploring how ethical and psychological strands interweave in psychotherapy." -- Alan Tjeltveit, Professor of Psychology, Muhlenberg College, author of Ethics and Values in Psychotherapy"All too often our contemporary landscapes, be they international, national, social, ethnic, or professional, are torn asunder by relentless divisiveness and claims of rightness and superiority. Among the varied approaches to psychotherapeutic efforts, while the diversity of disciplines could well foster mutual learning and maturation, far too often the advocates of these models collapse into divisiveness and competitions that impoverish our opportunities to learn from one another. In these two volumes, Kevin Smith places ethics at the heart of these professional debates, examining and critiquing the values that divergent models of psychotherapy hold, both explicitly and implicitly, arguing that each represents a practice that promotes a particular vision of the good life. As a psychotherapist often drawn quite passionately into taking sides in these theory wars, I found in Smith’s book a quiet, deeply resourced perspective that allowed me to take a more reflective stance with regard to both the differences and the commonalities of contemporary models of psychotherapy. These books will be of great value to practitioners, researchers, scholars and teachers who value the reflective practice of the art, the science, and the philosophies of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy." -- William F. Cornell, author of Self-Examination in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy"Kevin Smith’s work is essential. Every single practitioner of psychotherapy should be familiar with Smith’s message, and should be aware of the issues it raises for their work, every moment of every day. Psychotherapy, Smith tells us, is not a technical exercise in the amelioration of problems. The aims and conduct of psychotherapy are not adequately described or measured in the terms of evidence-based practice. Every aspect of psychotherapy, from the way problems are defined to the means by which they are addressed, is an expression, often inadvertent, of what we believe makes life good. Psychotherapy of every variety is a social practice, and like all such practices, it promotes an ethic. Whether they are used to thinking of their work as an ethical endeavor or not, all psychotherapists spend their entire professional lives influencing those with whom they work to live in certain ways and not in others. Psychotherapists are far too little aware of what is, after all, the very (ethical) ground under their feet.Smith’s two books should be assigned in every psychotherapy training program, and should be required reading for those who have finished formal training, regardless of their theoretical orientation (yes, I do mean to include the entire spectrum, from psychoanalysis to CBT) or the profession of its matriculants. Psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, counselors, clergy, psychiatric nurses, marriage and family therapists—all really do need to think through the issues presented here." -- Donnel B.

Book SynopsisThis book explores applied theatre practice for children in environments of illness and cure and how it can powerfully normalise children's hospitalisation experience. It is an essential tool for making meaning of children's illness, putting it into a fictional context and developing better control of their clinical experiences. It can be central to raising the standards of care and quality of life during illness. Taken from the author's research and participatory bedside theatre practice in hospitals before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, this book demonstrates new learning about aesthetics, ethics, emotions, stories, puppetry, digital arts and research methodologies about children's health and wellbeing. It provides a selection of ten unique stories told by children inspired by applied theatre practice in paediatrics, cardiac, oncology, neurosurgery, burns units and complex and intensive care wards. Stories aid in understanding the language of children's paiTrade Review“Applied Theatre in Paediatrics, Stories, Children and Synergies of Emotions" by Professor Persephone Sextou is a singular triumph in the realm of paediatric theatre and emotional healing.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Winnicott and Kohut on Intersubjectivity and Complex Disorders
Given the complexity of scientific developments inside and outside the psychoanalytic field, traditional definitions of basic psychoanalytic notions are no longer sufficiently comprehensive. We need conceptualizations that encompass new clinical phenomena observed in present-day patients and that take into account contributions inside, outside, and on the boundaries of our practice. This book discusses theoretical concepts which explain current clinical expressions that are as ineffable as they are commonplace. Our patients resort to these expressions when they feel distressed by their perception of themselves as unreal, empty, fragile, non-existent, non-desiring, doubtful about their identity, beset by feelings of futility and apathy, and emotionally numb. The book aims at contrasting the ideas of Winnicott and Kohut, which are connected with a clinical practice that sees each patient as unique and are moreover in direct contact with empirical facts, and

Taylor & Francis Foreign Bodies
Book SynopsisForeign Bodies: Eating Disorders, Childhood Sexual Abuse, and Trauma-Informed Treatment addresses the association between eating disorders and childhood sexual abuse, proposing a new way of treating those suffering from eating disorders who were sexually abused as children. Based on testimonies of survivors of abuse who subsequently developed eating disorders, it offers a new form of diagnosis and treatment, arguing that the eating-disorder field often ignores the traumatic sources of eating disorders, leading to some treatment programs not being commensurate, and at times conflicting, with the principles of childhood sexual abuse treatment.The case studies used to highlight the link between childhood sexual abuse and eating disorders are presented from the perspective of the women involved, in their own words. Their voices are supplemented by Gurâs own stance as a clinician specializing in the treatment of sexual abuse and CPTSD. The book is divided into three partsTrade Review"This long-awaited book addresses the needs of traumatized patients who struggle with dysregulated eating. Often in my practice as teacher and clinician I found myself in need for an authoritative text that will clarify why some patients do not respond well to best practice protocols for the treatment of eating disorders.Foreign Bodies is the book I have needed. It will guide clinicians through the distinctive drives and needs of traumatized individuals with eating disorders. Anat Gur eloquently argues her case in a clear but scientifically-based text laced with illuminating case studies. Her book is an important contribution to the improvement of care offered to many survivors of childhood adversity."Eli Somer, PhD, Clinical professor of psychology, University of Haifa. Past president, European Society for Trauma and Dissociation, International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation."FOREIGN BODIES is a persuasive and comprehensive book about eating disorders, sexual abuse, and trauma-informed treatment—which constitutes her sub-title. Complex and painful material is beautifully, gravelly, calmly, "maternally" described. Dr. Gur issues a clarion call for mental health professionals to streamline their understanding, diagnoses, and therapeutic plans for the at-risk victims of childhood sexual violence—the anorexics, bingers, drug addicts, prisoners, suicide artists, and prostituted girls and women. They are the survivors, often the mute witnesses of a long-denied plague, one which causes life-long devastation. Based on her own clinical work and on studies, Dr. Gur argues, persuasively, that an eating disorder is merely a symptom, not an underlying cause, and that anorexia, bulimia, and bingeing, as well as diagnoses such as dissociative disorder or borderline personality, are all part of a single but complex, post-traumatic stress disorder that itself is a normal, human response to early childhood violation and betrayal. The author, and her very moving interviewees, insist that denial on the part of parents, teachers, social workers, and mental health professionals, is as traumatizing as the sexual violence itself. I strongly and passionately recommend this book for scholars and clinicians, as well as civilians, who are all caught in the cross-fires of gender warfare."Phyllis Chesler Ph.D, Author of WOMEN AND MADNESS and WOMAN’S INHUMANITY TO WOMAN."With the publication of Foreign Bodies, Dr. Anat Gur makes a significant contribution to the field of eating disorders. Her work further informs providers, patients and their families about the central role that childhood sexual abuse, arguably one of the most damaging forms of child maltreatment, may play in the development of eating disorders. Such a crucial piece of the history is all too often missed or minimized and not integrated into a comprehensive treatment approach. This often leads to higher dropout, inadequate response, and/or early relapse. Dr. Gur amplifies that feminist voice against not only the original maltreatment of these young women who developed EDs but also of the mal-treatment that unknowing professionals inadvertently perpetrate on these women by their avoidance and minimization. Foreign Bodies is unique because it takes the reader through the painful, lived experiences of survivors who have endured such horrific experiences, which is often marked by extreme shame and guilt. Foreign Bodies further adds to the growing database demanding integrated Trauma-informed care and practice for this complex and often treatment-resistant subgroup of patients."Timothy D.

Taylor & Francis Ltd A Psychotherapeutic Understanding of Eating
Book SynopsisThis important book shows how psychotherapy can address severe eating disorders in children and young people, illustrating the ways an imprisoned self can be released from suffering. The book features a range of case studies while addressing core issues such as self-harm, hallucinations and the threat of suicide, as well as related topics such as depression and psychosis. Illustrating the psychological roots to eating disorders, it places therapy within hospital, clinical and multi-disciplinary contexts, as well as displaying how psychoanalytic theory can be applied across various settings and in different teams. Written by an eminent author in the field, this will be a key text for anyone wishing to understand eating disorders in children from a psychotherapeutic and psychoanalytic dimension.Trade Review"Jeanne Magagna displays a rare combination of psychoanalytic rigour firmly based in infant observation, combined with a deep knowledge and experience of working with other modalities and disciplines, in order to understand and treat the complexity of children and adolescents with eating disorders and their families. Her compassion for the young people’s suffering shines through in the many case examples, showing the therapeutic perseverance needed as well as a strong belief in the rightful need of these children for a container to process their emotional experiences sometimes for the first time. She emphasises the early infantile and primitive anxieties at the core of these children’s suffering. She shows the resources needed to help these children and their families to bear these anxieties. This valuable book is for professionals working with this client group as well as with the parents who suffer the torments of living with such an unforgiving illness."Ricky Emanuel B.Sc. M.Sc. MACP MBPC, Consultant Child, Adolescent and Adult Psychotherapist, Teacher and Supervisor – Tavistock Clinic London, Birmingham Trust for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Centro Studi Martha Harris, Florence"With her wealth of experience as a practitioner and a teacher Jeanne Magagna deals with difficult patients who are prone to self-harm and suicide. Her innate ability to connect to them and their parents with kindness, gentleness and clear thought frees the anorectic young person’s vulnerable self. Her honest and open clinical accounts go beyond recognizing the patient’s projections to being genuinely affected by them, and then working through her own counter transference experiences. The most satisfactory therapeutic outcome is achieved when parents are helped through parents’ groups, couple therapy and family therapy to work with the children to repair broken connections. A worldwide must-read for professionals, parents and young people, particularly those concerned about eating disorders."Micky Bhatia, Child Analyst and Training and Supervisory Analyst, Indian Psychoanalytical Society "What happens when the relationship to the internalised parents is too conflictual and anxieties cannot be contained emotionally? At some point, either during childhood or adolescence, severe eating disorder may appear, along with the threat of death. Jeanne Magagna brings us close to this complex and desolate emotional territory, plagued with nightmares, feelings of persecution, and degrees of retreats so severe that language fails. She describes her clinical approach in detail, based on the establishment of a sensitive individual therapeutic relationship, the analysis of transference and countertransference, and belief in the beauty and goodness of the mother, her mind, her body, and her interiority. By building a container for those primitive terrors which were never contained, and enhancing the containing function of the parents, the multidisciplinary team arrives at emotional understanding and recovery of the children and their families. Beautiful task, beautiful book."Mónica Cardenal, Training Analyst, Psychoanalytic Association of Buenos Aires. COCAP IPA, Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis Committee Co-Chair Latin America. Supervisor in the Early Childhood Area and Director of Infant Observation post graduate Course, according to Mrs. Bick’s method, Tavistock Clinic model, Pediatric Mental Health Service, Italian Hospital. Co-editor with Jeanne Magagna of Revista Internacional de Observación de bebés, Gradiva, Peru (2018) "This important book flows from many years of experience, written by one of the leading psychotherapists in the field of eating disorders. Magagna’s extensive knowledge, her compassion and insightful wisdom are woven throughout its pages. She guides the reader though the work of communicating with distressed young people and exploring their emotional experience and the nature of our relationships and interactions with them, always focussed on enhancing therapeutic understanding. Numerous clinical examples bring these themes to life and will resonate with anyone working with young people with eating disorders. The writing is open, honest and reflective throughout.This text will appeal to all therapists – irrespective of training, professional discipline, or theoretical persuasion – interested in opening their minds, and seeking to improve their own understanding of the young people with whom they work. In this way Magagna indeed allows the door to be opened a little wider for countless emotionally imprisoned young people to be able to take those vital steps forward towards release."Rachel Bryant-Waugh, BSc, MSc, DPhil, FAED, Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Lead Clinician ARFID Service, Maudsley Centre for Child and Adolescent Eating Disorder, London, UK"Jeanne Magagna shares with us her many years’ expertise in working with young people who suffer severely, and with the families and the caretakers committed to helping them decide to live. Jeanne emphasizes the therapist’s empathy in bearing their hatred, disregard, being closed out from children who cannot trust, who are depressed, suicidal, in a claustrum, catatonic or suffering hallucinations. With detailed, close-in clinical examples, Jeanne shows how she works in the countertransference as a way to understand her patients’ suffering. Read the book from beginning to end! You will feel fortified to move forward in your own work. You will be moved! Jeanne’s closing remarks about her own emotional growth in working with these children will leave you teary-eyed and grateful."Nancy Bakalar, MD, FABP, Supervising Analyst, IIPT, Chevy Chase, MD and Faculty, Denver Institute for Psychoanalysis, Denver, Colorado"Reading Magagna’s book on releasing the imprisoned self is like sitting in a library with an old friend, taking you on a journey from the very earliest stages of development of the child’s mind, describing various ways in which this can go off course and develop into one form of an eating disorder or another. Interweaving rich observational and clinical material with theoretical illuminations drawn from the writings of leading psychoanalytic minds, Jeanne Magagna breathes meaning and hope into the therapist’s mind to deal with young people who are often terribly hard to reach and help.This publication offers a treasure trove of compassionate insights into the minds of people with eating disorders, particularly those with anorexia nervosa. The insights will resonate with and illuminate not only the clinician familiar with psychoanalytic ways of working, but all clinicians dealing with young people with eating disorders and their families, addressing common challenges that make these conditions some of the most difficult to treat."Jeremy Freeman, Clinical Psychologist, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist and Development Director, Australia & New Zealand Academy for Eating DisordersTable of Contents1.
