Taylor & Francis Ltd Studies on Hysteria Revisited
Book SynopsisSteeped in Lacanian theory, this book is the first of its kind to present a longitudinal approach to the study of hysteria.In these 21 seminars Dr Melman leads us from the first records of hysteria to Freud's major discovery of the principal concepts of trauma, incompatibility, repression and the unconscious. Peppered with invaluable clinical examples, the author guides readers through difficult concepts as he links hysteria to the birth of psychoanalysis itself, and demonstrates how the reader may become implicated in this discourse.Capturing Melman's indomitable spirit, Studies on Hysteria Revisited will be an important read for graduate students, clinicians, and those in psychoanalytic formation.Trade Review"What a pleasure is in store for you if you can let Melman’s masterful hand guide you from Freud’s signature work on hysteria through to contemporary suffering. Be guided by the prodigious sensitivity and power of Melman’s insights; be guided by the wisdom and warmth of one of the world’s greatest living psychoanalysts as he takes you through the worlds of Freud and Lacan."– C. Edward Robins, Dr. Robins & Associates NYC."This work invites a rereading of the symptom, after the discovery by Freud in 1920 of the death drive and its embodiment repetition, by giving to the symptom the status of a ‘fact of structure’. Structure is for Lacan, the effect of there being no sexual rapport between human subjects. As a result, hysteria renews itself by offering the body as a cause of this sexual dissatisfaction. There remains the question of its possible cure – this is the task Dr. Melman sets himself." – Professor Christian Hoffmann, Honorary Professor of Psychoanalysis at the University of Paris. "This English translation offers to those unfamiliar with the French language a foundational text of Lacanian theory and its clinic. By following Freud closely this work restores hysteria to its central place in the structure of neurosis and offers a key to interpreting some of the biggest problems posed by modernity including the phenomena of the leader and the group in populist movements today." – Janja Jerkov, former professor of Southern Slavic Languages and Literature at La Sapienza, University of Rome. Former member of the cartel of the Presidency, L’Association Lacanienne Internationale in Italy. Council member of the Bureau of A.L.I. Paris.Table of Contents1. Introduction 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Effective Treatment of Womens Pelvic and Sexual
Book SynopsisThis book presents a comprehensive overview of pelvic and sexual pain disorders in women and equips therapists to treat these issues in a culturally sensitive way, examining the link between unwanted sexual experiences and the development of sexual pain in later life. Drawing on the wealth of recent research acknowledging the increased risk of developing a pelvic/sexual pain disorder in women who have experienced sexual trauma, Heather Lauren Davidson offers a much-needed resource for professionals within the essential context of the #MeToo movement. Chapters address a range of topics including types of sexual pain disorders, disparities in the mental health system that affect women's access to treatment, how to establish treatment goals for individuals and couples, and effective relapse prevention plans. Illustrated throughout by vignettes and case studies, the book addresses a lack of knowledge in assessing and treating the experiences of these women and explores in depth hTrade Review"This is a MUST READ for all mental and health care providers that take care of women with pelvic or sexual pain – any provider that truly wants to make a difference in their patient or client’s life."Lynn Wang, MD, FACOG, CSC, CSE; Main Line Health, PA, USA"An essential read for any provider who works with people experiencing intimate pain or with a history of trauma. The combination of research, medical explanations and poignant patient stories creates a great primer for a very complex and important topic."Dana Shanis, MD, FACOG. Ob/Gyn and Owner of VHealth & Wellness, Philadelphia, PA, USA"Davidson confronts the normalization of women’s sexual pain, pelvic pain and trauma and its profound impact on a woman’s quality of life. She unpacks the layers of a woman’s pelvic pain journey that too often go unseen or are dismissed. Boldly naming the many ways women are underserved and failed by their institutional systems, this book provides a strong call-to-action for institutions and professionals, along with a comprehensive and proven interdisciplinary treatment approach, to help women heal from trauma, pain and cultural betrayal."Carolynn Aristone, MSW, LCSW, CST, Founder and Executive Director of the Center for Intimate Relationships, L.L.C, USATable of Contents1. #MeToo and Pelvic/Sexual Pain 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Personal Process in ChildCentred Play Therapy
Book SynopsisPersonal Process in Child-Centred Play Therapy provides a very specific exploration of the play therapy process from the personal perspective of the play therapist. This volume examines the personal challenges, opportunities, losses and gains, and numerous obstacles that one has to negotiate through the course of both training to become a play therapist and working as a qualified clinician with children who have complex life difficulties. The book aims to offer a forum within which the role, function and process of the personal within play therapy can be explored. Bringing together a number of experienced play therapists, the book shares often deeply personal accounts of their experience of training and clinical practice. Chapters challenge the unspoken therapist taboos of shame, childhood trauma, vulnerability and grief, shining a light on the more hidden areas of therapist experience. Clinical issues around the unconscious process are also explored, but once again Trade ReviewThis book is a treasure chest of stories about play therapy written by practitioners who combine self-awareness, skilled and sensitive therapy and a gifted narrative sense. The chapters are easy to read and each has something important to teach, both for beginning and more experienced practitioners. Graham Music (PHD), Tavistock Centre, London, author of Nurturing ChildrenThis valuable book explores the personal process of play therapists and how life experiences impact on their clinical work. The contributors courageously reveal the challenge of managing profound feelings of shame, loss, and anger as clinicians, arising from current and early trauma. They describe how the understanding they have gained in processing these feelings has aided their development as therapists, supported by supervision and personal analysis. This book would greatly benefit those involved in therapeutic work with children as well as their teachers and supervisors. Deirdre Dowling, Child psychoanalytic psychotherapist, teacher and supervisor on Independent psychoanalytic child psychotherapy training.This is a sensitive, intelligent and inspiring book which explores the play therapist’s internal processes with honesty and integrity. The editors are highly respected in the field as both clinicians and trainers and have brought together a group of authors whose contributions will undoubtedly enrich the development of the profession. The book speaks to the robustness needed by play therapists without sacrificing the need to name and pay attention to therapists’ own vulnerability. It offers insightfulness which might also provide companionship in the challenging times we are living through. I highly recommend it.Anna Seymour PhD, Professor of Dramatherapy, University of Roehampton, LondonFrequently moving and thought provoking, this book makes an important and unique contribution to the child centred play therapy literature, exploring the relationship between our own internal processes, our use of self, and our work with children and families. Written with honesty, creativity, and in places, humour, the text combines research findings with practice experience to explore some important new themes as well as some familiar challenges. As such this will have relevance for both play therapy trainees and experienced practitioners.Pete Ayling, Senior Lecturer, University of Worcester This book is a wonderful resource of depth, reflection, and exploration. Le Vay and Cuschieri have curated a collection of chapters that honestly and bravely encourage therapists to consider the impact of their experiences and emotions in the therapeutic process. Each chapter invites the reader to stop, breathe and sit with those moments in the past and present that colour our work, whether as therapists, students, or supervisors. It is an invitation that proves most moving and inspiring.

Taylor & Francis Ltd PsychoSocial Explorations of Trauma Exclusion and
Book SynopsisThe central theme of this book is the operation of intersecting discourses of power, privilege and positioning as they are revealed in fraught encounters between in-groups and out-groups in our deeply fractured world. The authors offer a unique perspective on inter-group dynamics and structural violence at local, societal, cultural and global levels, dissecting processes of toxic othering' and psychosocial (re-)traumatisation. The book offers the Diogenes Paradigm as a unique conceptual tool with which to analyse the ways in which those of us who come to be located outside or on the margins of dominant social structures are, in one way or another, the inheritors of the legacies of centuries of oppression and exclusion. This analysis offers a distinctive psycho-social redefinition of trauma that foregrounds the relationship between the inhospitable environments we generate and the experiences of un-housedness that we thereby perpetuate.Written in an engaging and accessiTrade Review"This book inspires a feeling of relief. It brings together the most pressing issues of our time—climate change, genocide, exclusionary nationalism and deep-rooted dehumanising racisms—in profoundly original ways that address power relations, exclusions, ‘unhousedness’ and (re)traumatisation. It faces the pain they engender while refusing familiar, patronising tropes of otherness. Its perceptive, and sometimes poetic, scholarship brings deep hope that other, genuinely psychosocial ways of living and relating are possible, despite disagreements and disappointments along the way." - Ann Phoenix, Professor of Psychosocial Studies, UCL, UK"This is a profoundly disturbing book in the best sense. Chris Scanlon and John Adlam are known for their highly regarded psychosocial studies into the concept of the mind that is unhoused by trauma i.e those experiences that dismember and dissociate people from communities, creating communities of the excluded. In this rich work, they revisit and reconsider their work, with a lens informed by a deepening awareness of the costs of cruelty; whether by white people to people of colour, men to women and all of us to the very earth we stand on. Scanlon and Adlam stand up for the value of disturbance and dissidence, in a world where what can be said aloud seems to be constrained and people who say the ‘wrong’ thing can be excluded or cancelled as if they should not exist. We can learn from getting closer to the unloved and unloveable and we must do so, if we are not to fragment our minds, our communities and the earth itself. All those who work with excluded should read this book, if only to remind themselves that they are part of the group that excluded the people they claim to want to help. It is not always comfortable to look in a mirror but I think we can all be grateful to Scanlon and Adlam for holding up this particular glass." - Dr Gwen Adshead, consultant forensic psychiatrist and psychotherapist, Broadmoor Hospital, UK"Here we are given a mirror. In it we see something disturbing and yet hopeful about ourselves. We are confronted with the realization that healing occurs when we see that pain belongs to the collective rather than to the individuals who carry it on our behalf - a deeply knowledgeable, intensely wise, and fiercely ethical exploration of today’s predicament. Also one that points toward hope amidst the wreckage by suggesting how we might re-animate public spaces for reflection, empathy, and understanding." - James Krantz, PhD, Past President, International Society for the Psychoanalytic Study of Organizations"In this elegantly argued, carefully documented work, Christopher Scanlon and John Adlam offer a refreshing critical angle on some of the most pressing forms of social traumatization and exclusion. Going beyond ‘dispossession’, ‘necropolitics’, and ‘states of exception’ as means of characterizing the social injury wrought by inhospitable neoliberal sovereigns, they deploy a deeply critical, practice-based lens to looking at the suffering in our world produced by colonial and racist structures, mechanisms of dispossession and unhousedness, and ecocidal policies that are exacerbating a global migration crisis. The authors mitigate their disappointment at the persistence of oppression by proposing a blueprint for solidarity around anti-oppressive social action." - Michael O’Loughlin, Adelphi University, New York, USA; co-editor Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society"Starting from homelessness and ending with ‘race’ this is a study of abjection and shame and of its refusal, the refusal to go quietly into the night and accept your place on society’s outermost margins. Scanlon and Adlam examine the vexed relations between those who are cast out and those who, simply by occupying the position that they occupy, do the casting. This wonderfully imaginative and principled book draws upon a startling diversity of sources to explore the paradoxes and predicaments of structural violence." - Paul Hoggett, co-founder, Climate Psychology Alliance"Psychoanalysis inaugurated the study of the unknown in human experience. Group analysis added the previously unexplored impact of the social and political context on personal life and relations. Now Scanlon and Adlam incorporate the ecological and architectural aspects of our lives, derived from power relations and inequalities in the distribution of wealth, which lead the casualties of the system to an un-housed, dis-membered, and dis-eased existence. This exceptional book is far from neutrality and a revolutionary contribution. Its reading is a must." - Juan Tubert-Oklander, psychoanalyst and group analyst, Marista University of Merida"In such a slim and compact travel guide, the authors condense 20 years of working, thinking, writing together and with others to cover a remarkable amount of ground. They shine a light (or perhaps something more like Bion’s beam of intense darkness) on some of the most dangerous fault lines in our fragmenting world: racism, genocide, climate change and the inhospitable environments we create to re-house the unhoused." - Andy Downie, Group-Analytic Contexts, issue 96"The authors provide a courageous and revolutionary review of the social, political, racial, and ecological crises facing human civilization...[they] propose an unprecedented architectural template for future dialogues to readdress and restructure the spaces we collectively inhabit...this book offers an irridescent image of connecting to our collective pain, rather than disavowing it by splitting it off into the marginalised individuals of society... Reading a book like this could change your perspective on your work. It certainly did for me." - Kate Salucci, International Journal of Forensic Psychotherapy"...Adlam and Scanlon insist there are important political, ethical and existential lessons for us all, regarding norm rebuking, socially truculent and interpersonally confrontational modes of being-in-the-world, exemplifying strategies of survival that simultaneously subvert and illuminate pernicious dynamics of communal domination and social exclusion. Encompassing these ethical-existential dimensions under the banner of the ‘Diogenes Paradigm’, the authors ... accompany readers to a point where they, too, might seek to ‘reclaim the agora’, as Diogenes did...Adlam and Scanlon are to be deeply thanked by all of us, working with socially excluded individuals and ostracised groups, for this impassioned and deeply researched study, that ought to bring a renewed moral seriousness and social impetus to the psychosocial therapies...This book deserves to inspire and re-invigorate socially engaged, politically conscious and ethically motivated practitioners, to pay renewed attention to the broader ‘inhospitable environments’ in which they practice and to give serious, urgent thought, to how therapeutic practices and the institutions in which they are embedded, might be fundamentally transformed to redistribute power and material and social resources, permanently interrupting oppressive structures and practices." - British Journal of Psychotherapy"This book inspires a feeling of relief.

Taylor & Francis Why Its OK to Be of Two Minds
Book SynopsisMost of us experience the world through competing perspectives. A job or a religion seems important and fulfilling when looked at in one way, but from a different angle they seem tedious or ridiculous. A friend is obtuse from one point of view, wise from another. Continuing to hold both views at once can be unsettling, highlighting conflicts between our own judgments and values and undermining our ability to live purposefully and effectively.Yet, as Jennifer Church argues in this book, inner conflict can be a good thing, and not just as a temporary road bump on the road to resolution. This book describes several desirable types of âœdouble consciousnessâ â or being of two minds â and explains why and how they should be maintained. Church looks critically at some common ideas about identity, including a popular belief about narratives that suggests our lives should âœmake senseâ as a story. She also examines how empathy can helpfully cause us to be of two minds, and how various forms of irony and laughter enable us to benefit from holding onto opposing views. Finally, Church shows the merit of acknowledging reality while sometimes being guided by fantasy.Why Itâs OK to Be of Two Minds is for anyone whoâs held two opposing views simultaneously, which is to say itâs for everyone.Key Featuresâ Argues against a long-standing philosophical idea: that it is important to resolve inner conflicts that result from competing systems of beliefs.â Examines the role of empathy and friendship in maintaining a valuable form of double consciousness.â Considers how irony and laughter allow us to dedicate ourselves to our particular projects while acknowledging their ultimate insignificance.â Shows how fantasies that conflict with our beliefs can make a positive contribution to the way we live our lives.Trade Review"This is a superb piece of work. Church has got hold of a wonderful topic and what she does with it is hugely impressive. I found every chapter subtle and insightful, full of wonderful examples and acute observations. I came away with the sense of having engaged with a really deep but still accessible piece of philosophy."-Quassim Cassam, University of Warwick"This is a superb piece of work.

Taylor & Francis Neurodiversity in the Workplace
Book SynopsisNeurodiversity in the Workplace presents a timely and needed perspective on the role and responsibility of employers and those working to increase the effectiveness of workplace practices to examine the many ways we preclude large segments of the population from employment; minimizing opportunities for building a truly inclusive work environment.This collection provides an opportunity to look at how discrimination can occur across the employment process and what can be done to minimize the exclusionary practices that prevent neurodiverse individuals from getting into the workplace, advancing, thriving, and contributing as each of us desires to do. With expertise from leading professionals, this book provides a holistic look at the application of leadership theories in a neurodiverse context and how the workplace can be adapted to accommodate for neurodiverse employees. This book also explores effective recruitment strategies by looking into applicant screening as well as interviewing and selection, adapting internal organizational resources to a neurodiverse workforce, and legal and regulatory environment considerations for autism hiring programs. Each chapter provides an overview of existing knowledge on effective workplace inclusion practices across the employment process, specific implications of research to date for a more neurodiversity-inclusive workplace, and what future research is needed to further inform these practices.This volume is intended to increase awareness about the challenges and opportunities in making the workplace more neurodiversity-inclusive, making it instrumental for I/O and other psychologists. This book is also crucial for management and business consultants; employers; diversity, equity, and inclusion specialists; human resource professionals; and others interested in neurodiversity inclusion more broadly.Trade Review"This collection of chapters does what no other publication to date can claim: it integrates thoughtful and useful ideas and evidence on the incredibly important topic of neurodiversity. I'm so excited to see how this volume pushes the science and practice of I-O psychology forward!"Eden King, Ph.D. Rice University, Lynette S. Autrey Professor of PsychologyCo-Editor, Journal of Business and Psychology, Magister, Duncan College"Susanne Bruyère and Adrienne Colella pose some challenging and thought-provoking questions to HR Professionals on creating an inclusive Neurodiverse Workforce."Neil Barnett, Director of Inclusive Hiring People with Disabilities, Microsoft"This book is must read for organisations looking not only to establish a neurodiversity program, but sustain one. The book starts to discuss some of the more complex issues to sustain meaningful employment such mental health, performance and career management. DXC technology has been running a neurodiverse program since 2014, we wish we had this knowledge outlined in this book before we started!"Michael Fieldhouse, DXC Social Impact Practice Leader & Dandelion Program Executive"Inclusive environments are the key for unlocking the power of human potential. This book provides a powerful perspective of how research around neurodiversity translates in the application to a work setting, and that ultimately creates exponential value for individuals, communities and business. The multifaceted approach the authors lay out, help us move from ideation to implementation. This is exactly what is needed for employers at the intersection of talent, diversity and to thrive in the future of work." Hiren C. Shukla, Global Neuro-Diverse Center of Excellence Leader, Executive Management, Ernst & Young LLP"This volume provides a timely and critical contribution to the Organizational Frontiers Series. It explores diversity and inclusion within workplace from a perspective often overlooked in our field – i.e., neurodiversity. The authors in this volume explore the challenges and opportunities involved in hiring and valuing an often talented but ignored segment of our population, applicants and employees whose behavior patterns and ways of seeing the world might deviate from more typical employees. Given increasing labor shortages, organizations face an increasing need to identify, select and promote employees who can contribute to their success, and as this volume shows, ways of effectively identifying neurodiverse applicants and employees who can make these contributions. The volume explores ways to maximize the integration and success of these workers by providing a work environment conducive to the success, sustainability and continued health of organizations and their members. In sum, this volume explores ways of enhancing an overlooked aspect of diversity by identifying creative practices that can also improve the quality of worklife for ALL organizational members."Jeanette N Cleveland, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Colorado State University "Professors Colella and Bruyere have edited a timely and insightful book that explains what neurodiversity is and the employment law context around it. The various chapters of the book cover the entire employment process from an applicant’s dilemma to disclose their neurodiversity to recruiting and selection, workplace accommodations, leadership, organizational diversity climate, performance management, well-being, and the overall experience of neurodiverse employees at work. This book answers many important and timely questions about neurodiversity at work, and it is helpful reading for anyone who wants to be an effective and inclusive coworker, supervisor, or leader in today’s workforce."María del Carmen Triana, Ph.D., Professor and Cal Turner Chair in Moral Leadership at Vanderbilt University"In the ground-breaking book Neurodiversity in the Workplace, authors from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines engage readers in discussing topics relevant to effectively managing organizations comprised of people with widely varying neurological functions. Readers will learn about the meaning and contested labeling of neurodiversity, the challenges and opportunities associated with workforce neurodiversity, as well as the many legal and social issues that neurodiversity poses for employers and employees alike. By including reviews of cutting-edge research and informative examples of supportive employment practices, Bruyére and Colella have produced a resource that is sure to promote more equitable workplace practices and stimulate new research aimed at understanding and improving the experiences of neurodivergent employees."
