    Book SynopsisUsers and Abusers of Psychiatry is a radically different, critical account of day-to-day practice in psychiatric settings. Using real-life examples and her own experience as a clinical psychologist, Lucy Johnstone argues that the traditional way of treating mental distress can often exacerbate people''s original difficulties, leaving them powerless and re-traumatised.She draws on a range of evidence to present a very different understanding of psychiatric breakdown than that found in standard medical textbooks, and to suggest new ways forward.The extended introduction to this Classic Edition brings the book up to date by revisiting its themes and tracing the changes in mental health practice over the last three decades. The book's accessibility and clarity have ensured that it remains a classic in a growing field, and it is as relevant today as when it was first published.Users and Abusers of Psychiatry is a challenging but ultimately inspiringTrade Review‘With lucid simplicity Lucy sets out the conflict at the heart of psychiatry… Lucy is an outstanding psychologist, one of the leaders in her generation of psychologists.’ Dorothy Rowe, from the foreword to the first edition‘It is written with humanity, in clear and straightforward language… its key arguments remain relevant today and, in many ways, are more urgent.’David Harper, Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of East London'Essential reading for those involved, or with an interest in the mental health field' Social Work Education'An excellent expose of the psychiatric system' - Changes'For brevity, clarity and insightful honesty, this contemporary introduction to the ongoing struggle for a better future in our field is hard to beat.' - Changes'This is an immensely enjoyable book that can be described, with only slight exaggeration,as a saturation bombing raid over the company funded territory of biomedical psychiatry.' - Mental Health Nursing'The best contemporary expression to the critique of the psychiatric profession' - Asylum'Her analysis is calm, thorough and persuasive...Read it, think about it, argue with it, use it.' - Openmind'This is an immensely enjoyable book that can be described, with only slight exaggeration, as a saturation bombing raid over the drug company funded territory of biomedical psychiatry…Johnstone was a hospital-based clinical psychologist for 11 years….according her views a great deal of credibility. She is evidently a woman of great compassion, concern and fighting spirit.' - Mental Health Care.'She makes an impressive case for her views…the effect of the whole body of evidence she presents is overwhelming…Users and abusers of psychiatry is a model of a sophisticated critique of the mainstream medical model….I recommend it highly.' - Lifewatch.'If you are looking for an overview of today's mental health system and an understanding of how it fails the patient, then look no further – this is the book for you.' - The Survivor.'The greatest strength of the book is that is simplifies and clarifies what can often seem a bewilderingly complex area.' - Clinical Psychology Forum.Table of ContentsIntroduction to the Classic Edition; Acknowledgements; Glossary; 1: The story of a depressed housewife; 2: The Rescue Game; 3: The sick role; 4: The treatment barrier; 5: Women’s and men’s role problems and psychiatry; 6: The professionals and their training; 7: A brief history of psychiatry; 8: Physical treatments and the role of the drug industry; 9: Resistance in the system; 10: Psychiatry and wider society; 11: Pointers to the future; Notes; Index

    Book SynopsisSandplay Wisdom provides key concepts for understanding and using sandplay therapy effectively, distilling insight from more than four decades of experience. Rie Rogers Mitchell and Harriet S. Friedman provide both core principles and hard-won practical tips to deepen understanding of sandplay therapy for both experienced and novice practitioners. The principles presented provide key insight into many important therapeutic dimensions, including childhood trauma, archetypal life stages, age and gender issues, transference and countertransference, as well as sandplay with both adults and children. The book is illustrated with case material and images from real sessions throughout and provides invaluable guidance on working with clients in a vast range of contexts.This important book will be essential reading for all sandplay therapists in practice and in training. It will also be of great interest to practitioners, academics and scholars of play and arts therapiesTrade Review"Sandplay Wisdom is a gift to sandplay therapists and Jungian analysts, as well as to all of us who care about psyche and life. Sandplay needs wisdom, so as for our daily life. This book embodies the nature of the Kalffian-Jungian sandplay method: the way of life." – Heyong Shen, City University of Macau; President, Chinese Society of Analytical Psychology"Sandplay Wisdom represents an extraordinary legacy of two leading sandplay therapists based on four decades of personal clinical experience. It contains a wealth of theoretical considerations incorporating Jungian psychology, attachment theory and neuroscience, among others, touching on how this therapy works, how it came into existence, evolved and in particular how it can be used to benefit both children and adults in distress including those who suffer from trauma. A variety of case studies illustrate the theory and bring it alive. The book will not only be a fundamental companion for students and practitioners of sandplay but reaches out to anyone who wants to understand more deeply the self-healing potential inherent in an approach which integrates body, mind and relationship." – Martin Kalff, PhD; sandplay therapist, ISST"Sandplay Wisdom documents four decades of collaboration between Friedman and Rogers Mitchell, pioneers in sandplay therapy. This volume encompasses the foundations of sandplay, how it heals, ego development , childhood issues of loss and trauma, working with adults, transference and countertransference; it is rich with case examples. This book is a rich resource of their creative and original work which has influenced sandplay therapists over the years and will continue to have a significant impact for the future of sandplay therapy." – Audrey Punnett, PhD, RPT-S, CST-T/ISST; Jungian analyst; Vice President of the Americas, International Association of Sandplay Therapy; past President, Sandplay Therapists of America"With great admiration and respect, I enthusiastically recommend Harriet and Rie’s new book. This book covers important aspects of sandplay therapy, and, most impressively, many sandplay cases are given to illustrate the main points. This is a valuable book for professionals who teach sandplay and for those who are interested in advancing themselves in sandplay work." – Grace Hong, PsyD, LP, ISST-TM"Sandplay Wisdom is a gift to sandplay therapists and Jungian analysts, as well as to all of us who care about psyche and life.
