Taylor & Francis Ltd Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Book SynopsisWhat are the distinctive theoretical and practical features of acceptance and commitment therapy?Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a modern behaviour therapy that uses acceptance and mindfulness interventions alongside commitment and behaviour change strategies to enhance psychological flexibility. Psychological flexibility refers to the ability to contact the present moment and change or persist in behaviour that serves one's personally chosen values. Divided into two sections, The Distinctive Theoretical Features of ACT and The Distinctive Practical Features of ACT, this book summarises the key features of ACT in 30 concise points and explains how this approach differs from traditional cognitive behaviour therapy.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy provides an excellent guide to ACT. Its straightforward format will appeal to those who are new to the field and provide a handy reference tool for more experienced clinicians. Trade Review"Overall, Flaxman and colleagues do an excellent job of describing the ACT concepts, techniques, and strategies and how they can be practically applied. This volume will be beneficial to clinicians who are new to the field, as well as to those experienced clinicians who want to gain more in-depth knowledge." - PsycCRITIQUES, Vol 56, October 2011"This well-written, concise text on ACT is an important resource for psychotherapists and students in the psychological and psychiatric fields. It provides a relevant beginning for further study of this behavior and mindfulness cognitive therapy... this book highlights another promising therapeutic method available for advancing human well-being." - Cynthia R.

Taylor & Francis Psyches Veil
Historically, the language and concepts within clinical theory have been steeped in linear assumptions and reductionist thinking. Because the essence of psychotherapy involves change, Psyche's Veil suggests that clinical practice is inherently a nonlinear affair. In this book Terry Marks-Tarlow provides therapists with new language, models and metaphors to narrow the divide between theory and practice, while bridging the gap between psychology and the sciences. By applying contemporary perspectives of chaos theory, complexity theory and fractal geometry to clinical practice, the author discards traditional conceptions of health based on ideals of regularity, set points and normative statistics in favour of models that emphasize unique moments, variability, and irregularity. Psyche's Veil further explores philosophical and spiritual implications of contemporary science for psychotherapy.Written at the interface between artistic, scientifi

Taylor & Francis Symbiosis and Ambiguity
Book SynopsisSymbiosis and Ambiguity is the first English edition of the classic study of early object relations by influential Argentinian psychoanalyst José Bleger (1922-1972). It is rooted in Kleinian thinking and rich in clinical material.Bleger''s thesis is that starting from primitive undifferentiation, prior to the paranoid-schizoid position described by Klein, autism and symbiosis co-exist as narcissistic relations in a syncretic agglutinated' nucleus. In symbiosis part of the mind is deposited in an external person or situation; in autism it is deposited in the patient''s own mind or body. The nucleus is ambiguous and persists in adults as the psychotic part of the personality.Symbiosis tends to immobilise the analytic process, so the analyst must mobilise, fragment and discriminate the agglutinated nucleus, whose ambiguity tends to blunt' persecutory situations. The psychoanalytic setting functions as a silent refuge for the psychotic part of the personality, wheTable of ContentsEtchegoyen , Preface. Bleger, Churcher, Editorial Introduction. Prologue.

For the first time the gamut of diverse training programmes for therapists are linked in a systematic and productive way with the research methodologies currently in use." - Rom Harré, from the Preface"By providing examples of the experience of counsellors in pursuing research projects that have meaning and value for their clients and themselves, the contributors to the book are able to show that research can indeed represent a significant means of extending and deepening insight and understanding in ways that are relevant to understanding the purpose and process of therapy, and which enhance rather than undermine the therapeutic relationship." - John McLeod, from the Foreword"Researching, Reflecting and Writing about Work can be dipped into, and chapters hold their own, independtly of the whole. However, the book's true richness comes through best from reading it in full... I highly recommend it, and expect to refer to it often with a range of students." - Sandra Taylor, Healthcare, Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal, July 2010"This is an important book.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Problematic and Risk Behaviours in Psychosis
Book SynopsisIn spite of improved access to psychosocial interventions, many people with psychosis continue to experience persistent problems which act as significant barriers to their recovery. This book investigates risk and problem behaviours in psychosis, including staff and service factors that can impede the delivery of effective care. Problematic and Risk Behaviours in Psychosis provides a new approach for assessment, formulation and intervention within such problem behaviours in a team context. Of particular interest will be: an outline of the SAFE (Shared Assessment, Formulation and Education) approach an integrative model for understanding risk and problematic behaviour shared risk assessment and management processes approaches to reducing team and carer barriers to effective care the use of CBT in day-to-day interactions with clients a set of formulation-driven strategies for managing prTrade Review"This book successfully illustrates how recent developments in cognitive therapy for psychosis, risk management and behavioural approaches can be integrated into a whole team treatment framework in services for people with complex and challenging mental health and behavioural needs. An excellent clinical resource for all professionals working with this client group." - Suzanne Jolley, Clinical Psychologist, King's College London, UK "As a student with little clinical experience, I found the authors' approach engaging. They provide clear and concise definitions of every assessment and the use of therapy in the clinical field, which I found very helpful. They also provide an integrative approach, clearly showing the differences of assessments used in practice. The interesting thing is the use of illustrative examples: case studies which make the approach come to life...I found this book exceptional" - Heather Brobbey, Journal of Mental Health, August 2011 "The Shared Assessment, Formulation, and Education (SAFE) approach presented by Meaden and Hacker offers a system for providing comprehensive, cognitive-behavioral treatment for RPBs at all levels of the health care environment. Rather than present a brand new treatment, their book presents a much-needed system for implementing exisitng cogntive-behavioral interventions in settings that provide treatment to people with psychotic disorders." - Patrick L. Kerr, PsyCritiques, Volume 57, Issue 7, February 2012 "This book successfully illustrates how recent developments in cognitive therapy for psychosis, risk management and behavioural approaches can be integrated into a whole team treatment framework in services for people with complex and challenging mental health and behavioural needs.
