Taylor & Francis Understanding SelfWorth
Book SynopsisUnderstanding Self-Worth is a guide for psychotherapists confounded by the struggle of working with clients who present with a pervasive pattern of denied self-worth.When self-worth is perceived as conditional or denied altogether, clients may become complicit in creating a lost-worth storyâthe story they tell that keeps them denying their own worth. The denial may include generational abusive and/or intrusive injunctions that go against their lived truth.Psychotherapists will come away from this book with a deep understanding of the importance of attending to the degree of trauma experienced when the clientâs self-worth is separated from their individual truth. Moreover, where there is worth-based trauma, the psychotherapist will learn models both for helping clients gently and honestly reestablish a worthy and true sense of self and for consciously guiding clients towards recovery of human worth as a birthright.

Clinicians are on the front line in providing support for the estimated millions pioneering these modern relationships. This first available guide for therapists provides answers to prevalent questions: What is the difference between expanded monogamy and polyamory? Is CNM healthy and safe? Why would someone choose the complexities of multiple partners? What about the welfare of children? Through illustrative case studies from research and clinical practice, therapists will learn to assist clients with CNM agreements, jealousy, sex, time, family issues, and much more. A Therapist''s Guide to Consensual Nonmonogamy serves as a step forward toward expanding standard clinical training and helps inform therapists who wish to serve the CNM population.Trade Review"Poly? Monogamish? Nesting? These are only a few of the possibilities for consensual non-monogamy. This book is an empathic and well-researched treasure of resources for any therapist or counselor whose clients are searching for options beyond ‘death-us-do-part.’" Gina Ogden, PhD, LMFT, author of Expanding the Practice of Sex Therapy and Exploring Desire and Intimacy"Thoughtful, heartfelt, and, above all, well-supported with decades of research and experience, Dr. Orion’s delightful Therapist’s Guide to Consensual Non-Monogamy is edutainment at its best.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Foundations of Art Therapy Supervision
Book SynopsisFoundations of Art Therapy Supervision serves as a reference guide for art therapists who have found themselves in supervisor roles without prior training and supervisees hoping to learn what to expect from the supervision relationship, and illustrates how to receive and provide clinical art therapy supervision.Written by two art therapists with over 35 years of collective supervision experience, this new resource includes a framework for providing effective supervision in the classroom and in the field, case studies and art-based supervisory exercises, and guidance for new professionals seeking certification or licensure. Chapters weave the authors' supervision experience with a significant literature review, and feature explanations on how professional identities (art therapist, psychotherapist, counselor, supervisor, supervisee, administrator, educator, etc.) and personal identities (gender, race, sexuality, etc.) influence the supervisory and therapeutic relationTrade Review"Supervision is the cornerstone of clinical training. Yasmine J Awais and Daniel Blausey draw on their 20-year relationship that began as supervisor and supervisee to offer an extraordinary book that showcases the dynamic, complex, and contextual nature of art therapy supervision for both the supervisor and supervisee. Foundations of Art Therapy Supervision is a strong synthesis of theory, ethical, legal, and practice guidelines and clinical material for art therapy supervisors and supervisees. The heart of this volume, however, is the importance of mutual learning that is ongoing and requires cultural humility to explore how the supervisor and supervisee’s intersecting personal and professional identities are ever present in the supervision room, influencing dynamics related to power and privilege, topics that are discussable (or not), and ultimately the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client."Tamara R. Buckley, Associate Professor, Counselor Education, School of Education, Hunter College , City University of New York.

Yasmine J Awais and Daniel Blausey draw on their 20-year relationship that began as supervisor and supervisee to offer an extraordinary book that showcases the dynamic, complex, and contextual nature of art therapy supervision for both the supervisor and supervisee. Foundations of Art Therapy Supervision is a strong synthesis of theory, ethical, legal, and practice guidelines and clinical material for art therapy supervisors and supervisees. The heart of this volume, however, is the importance of mutual learning that is ongoing and requires cultural humility to explore how the supervisor and supervisee’s intersecting personal and professional identities are ever present in the supervision room, influencing dynamics related to power and privilege, topics that are discussable (or not), and ultimately the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client."Tamara R.

Taylor & Francis Ltd PEERS for Young Adults
Book SynopsisPEERS for Young Adults presents the first evidence-based group treatment program for young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder, as well as other neurodevelopmental disorders and social challenges. Inside, readers will find a critical step forward in the dissemination of effective behavioral interventions for young adults in the form of 16 engaging group session outlines that are both user-friendly and backed by empirical research. Each session is accompanied by homework assignments and practice suggestions designed to reinforce the group's understanding of the skills learned during each meeting. This practical resource will prove to be an invaluable reference for any clinician or educator working with this population.Trade Review"Many young adults with ASD struggle to make and keep friends and establish romantic relationships. Despite caregivers and relatives best efforts, these individuals are often socially isolated and despondent about their future social life. Dr Elizabeth Laugeson and her team have risen to this challenge by building upon their successful and widely used PEERS program for teenagers to produce The PEERS for Young Adults Manual: an evidence-based group treatment program for able young adults with ASD or other social difficulties. The manual is targeted at clinicians knowledgeable about ASD in adult life and provides a self-contained and comprehensive approach to teaching the ecologically valid social skills necessary for establishing and maintaining meaningful relationships. It is not difficult to see why this CBT approach is so effective: the focus of individual sessions is on key skills and the session formats are predictable and build upon prior learning; the teaching style is Socratean and encourages problem solving and perspective taking; whilst there is a strong emphasis on the logical underpinnings of successful social interactions, much use is also made of humor to reinforce learning; therapists encourage participants to use easily remembered buzzwords and phrases to encapsulate important learning points; clear homework tasks are set to provide opportunities to rehearse newly learnt skills, and, particularly importantly, caregivers attend parallel group sessions where they learn how to provide social coaching to support rehearsal in the individuals’ social environment. Laugeson displays a deep understanding of the nuts and bolts of both social interactions and running therapy groups and gives advice based on extensive experience. She also thoughtfully highlights where adaptions may be necessary to deal with varying social norms. Although not all clinicians will have the resources to provide a group based intervention, I still highly recommend they read this manual: even the most experienced therapists will find helpful knowledge and tips on how to improve the social interactions of their clients."Dr Anthony J. Bailey, chair of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, UBC, Institute of Mental Health chair"Liz Laugeson’s PEERS® was the first evidence-validated system for teaching autistic kids to make friends and work together. Her program began with teens, and this important new work extends PEERS® into young adults of college age and beyond. As an autistic adult I’m proud to have been a supporter of Dr. Laugeson’s work from the beginning, and I hope you will see as much value in her new book as I do."John Elder Robison, New York Times bestselling author, neurodiversity scholar, College of William & Mary"Elizabeth Laugeson is to be congratulated for taking on the enormous task of attempting to systemise the social world for adults with autism. The rules governing the social world are complex, subtle and implicit. People with autism often complain that the social world lacks a "manual." This book is an impressive effort to provide one and is supported by evidence for its effectiveness."Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, Autism Research Centre, Cambridge University"This manual provides a self-contained and comprehensive set of lesson plans for teaching able young adults with ASD ecologically valid social skills, supported by social coaching from their caregivers. It combines well established CBT principles with deep, and often humorous insights into the mechanics of establishing and keeping meaningful relationships; it is a must read for all clinicians managing able adults with ASD."Dr. Anthony J. Bailey, chair of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, University of British Columbia, Institute of Mental Health"Since the vast majority of interventions for autism focus on very young children, this manual, which extends the scope of the well-established PEERS® intervention to adults with autism, is particularly welcome. The group-based program described provides practical and evidence based strategies for dealing with the day-to-day social challenges faced by individuals with autism as they approach adulthood. It should prove a valuable resource for clinicians and other professionals working with this client group."Patricia Howlin, emeritus professor of clinical child psychology, King's College, London"The social difficulties in autism remain both the most important and most challenging to treat. This comprehensive volume is a major contribution to the treatment literature. Practical and yet evidence-based, this book will be of great value to individuals with autism spectrum disorders, their parents, and supporters. It is highly recommended."Fred R.

Readers will learn the theoretical and developmental principles necessary for working with adolescents and children and the importance of engaging the creative aspects of clinical work, which is foundational for affecting change in young clients. The authors do a masterful job of capturing the unique industry and artistry necessary for working with this population."Shawn L. Spurgeon, PhD, fellow of the American Counseling Association"This book was a pleasure to read! The authors have constructed a text that provides readers with strengths-based, experiential counseling activities that help promote change in youth. So few books have real-world applicability, but this text is practical, applied, and sure to assist mental health providers in supporting their young clients' change process. This book is essential for any mental health provider who works with young people and is searching for creative ways to invigorate their work." Victoria Kress, PhD, distinguished professor of counseling at the Youngstown State University"Through a social justice lens, the authors identify the realities of Western socialization as an oppressive underpinning to social structures that allow inequities and injustices to exist. By acknowledging a pathway of intentional personal and systemic behaviors that help to dismantle unjust practices, we are reminded that counselors and therapists are responsible for promoting social justice and for recognizing its direct impact on children, adolescents, and families."

Taylor & Francis Ltd Psychoanalysis in the Barrios
Book SynopsisPsychoanalysis in the Barrios: Race, Class, and the Unconscious demonstrates that psychoanalytic principles can be applied successfully in disenfranchised Latino populations, refuting the misguided idea that psychoanalysis is an expensive luxury only for the wealthy. As opposed to most Latin American countries, where psychoanalysis is seen as a practice tied to the promotion of social justice, in the United States psychoanalysis has been viewed as reserved for the well-to-do, assuming that poor people lack the sophistication that psychoanalysis requires, thus heeding invisible but no less rigid class boundaries. Challenging such discrimination, the authors testify to the efficacy of psychoanalysis in the barrios, upending the unfounded widespread belief that poor people are so consumed with the pressures of everyday survival that they only benefit from symptom-focused interventions. Sharing vivid vignettes of psychoanalytic treatments, this collection sheds liTrade Review"Since its origins, psychoanalysis has been faced with two crucial questions: are its theories universal or culturally determined? Should treatment be made available to all, and if so, at what cost? These questions continue to haunt contemporary psychoanalytic practice. Psychoanalysis in the Barrios: Race, Class, and the Unconscious presents a diverse array of responses to and provocative reformulations of these century-old concerns, as for instance whether there is a cultural specificity to Cuban scopophilic perversions, or how one offers treatment to impoverished, working-class urban Americans?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Christianity and Gestalt Therapy
Book SynopsisChristianity and Gestalt Therapy is a unique integration written for psychotherapists who want to better understand their Christian clients and Christian counselors who want a clinically sound approach that embraces Christian spirituality. This book explores critical concepts in phenomenology and how they relate to both gestalt therapy and Christianity. Using mixed literary forms that include poetry and story, this book provides a window into gestalt therapy for Christian counselors interested in learning how the gestalt therapeutic model can be incorporated into their beliefs and practices. It explores the tension in psychology and psychotherapy between a rigid naturalism and an enchanted take on life. A rich mix of theory, philosophy, theology, and practice, Christianity and Gestalt Therapy is an important resource for therapists working with Christian patients. Trade Review"In this carefully argued book, Dr. Brownell interweaves Christianity, gestalt therapy, and a scholarly expertise that makes this book valuable for the reader regardless of the reader’s beliefs. This book might challenge gestalt therapists to seriously consider theology along with their other concepts and invite Christians to welcome gestalt therapy into their own ways of looking at their spiritual worlds." Dan Bloom, JD, past president, Association for the Advancement of Gestalt Therapy and New York Institute of Gestalt Therapy, USA "We usually think of God as an entity inside or above us. Philip Brownell brings us to think of God as an experience at the ‘contact boundary,’ in the between. A deeply educated psychologist and gestalt therapist, Brownell offers the readers what we could call a ‘post-modern’ experience of God. He copes with the most complex issues of religion and anthropology with the simplicity and depth of a child who says ‘the emperor is naked'."

This book, produced by five experienced and committed practitioners will be welcomed by trainee therapists, their teachers and supervisors. It is a 'go-to' handbook that helps to demystify the purposes and processes involved in PD group membership where the need for good facilitation and active participation is a given. This book is definitive in its broad-spectrum coverage and it is presented in a very accessible format.' - Marjorie Ashdown, BACP Fellow, PD Group Supervisor, Clinical Supervisor and Therapist'I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who works with people, as it has certainly enhanced my capacity for reflection and broadened my personal development. The exercises were often transformative and encouraged me to look at things from a slightly different perspective. They encouraged self-reflection and I felt my capacity for personal development deepened through the experience. I especially appreciated the vignettes throughout which allowed me to put my learning into context.' - Margo Fourman, Special Education and Learning Development Tutor, University of HuddersfieldTable of ContentsList of contributorsPrefaceAcknowledgementsIntroduction Section A: Understanding personal development 1.

Positive Psychology: The Basics delineates positive psychology's journey as a discipline, takes stock of its achievements and provides an updated overview of its core topics, exploring the theory, research and interventions in each.Launched as a rebellious discipline just over two decades ago, positive psychology challenged the emphasis of applied psychology on disease and dysfunction and offered a new, more balanced perspective on human life.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Global Leadership and Coaching
Book SynopsisGlobal Leadership & Coaching: Flourishing Under Intense Pressure at Work is a unique and personal look at coaching, leading and working internationally, bringing together inspiring, original and dramatic stories of leadership from around the world. From war zones to refugee camps, prisons to hospitals, elite sport to supermarkets, each case study draws on psychoanalytic below the surface thinking to analyse, interpret and understand a leader's decisions, motivations and fears.Rachel Ellison's inter-cultural approach takes us to Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq, Sudan, Somalia and the Central African Republic, to Honduras, the Czech Republic, the USA and the UK. Global Leadership & Coaching presents a series of individual case studies from Ellison's own experiences working with senior commercial, public and third sector leaders across 35 different countries, cultures and organisational contexts. Compellingly written, this book explores the a diverseTrade ReviewRachel’s deep and diverse insights are brilliantly brought to life through a number of fascinating case studies in this valuable contribution to the literature of leadership. Covering an extremely broad spectrum, from the deeply personal account of the experiences inside NICU to the powerful story of leading an NGO in a war zone, Rachel shows that whilst the situations may differ the fundamental challenges of leadership are universal. This book is a great resource for anyone wanting to explore leadership: accessibly written, thought-provoking and universally applicable. - Andrew Hodgson, Head of Finance Northern Europe, Uber.Every day leaders in all fields wrestle with stressful situations, but not many of us work in war zones or face life and death situations. This book draws vivid lessons from the experience of those courageous people who do. It analyses different responses to acute stress. It points the way to positive, life-enhancing solutions to extreme demands. I recommend the stories Rachel Ellison tells so well to anyone looking for inspiration for their own leadership role. - Alan Bookbinder, former Director, Sainsbury Family Charitable TrustsRachel Ellison's book speaks to everyone who has leadership responsibilities and teams to manage. Her meticulously researched case studies shed light on the issues leaders face across a fascinating range of organisations and cultures. By focussing on individuals and how they respond to very specific personal challenges in settings from prison to Paralympics, Rachel draws lessons which apply across large and small organisations. She shows how leaders grow through awareness of their own background and motives; and how important it is to engage honestly with others, respecting their culture and outlook. This book will be invaluable for everyone who wants to connect with those they lead, and to understand what real leadership means in a global context. - Sir Martin Donnelly, KCB, CMG, former Permanent Secretary for the Department for International Trade and the Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS).This highly accessible book challenges us in an understanding of leadership that extends far beyond the more commonly defined competencies of envisioning the future and inspiring followers. It invites us to explore the critical effect of the emotional labour of work on the individual, the group and the organisation. Through the range of evocative narratives, we are invited to tolerate, feel and think about deeper, usually covert, dynamics of organisational life. The book offers a gift of insight to leaders.- Wendy Harding, PhD, CEO and Director of Academic Programs, National Institute of Organisation Dynamics, Australia.From her position of trust coaching leaders in some of the most challenging situations and her own personal experience, Rachel Ellison offers a wealth of insight which is relevant to leaders in all walks of life. Her observations of the psychological importance of space and environment in a neonatal intensive care unit, mirror some of the challenges faced by businesses seeking to reconcile the spiralling costs of city based property and a desire felt by many employees to work more flexibly outside the office. In the supermarket chapter, we meet a World Foods buyer who is truly trying to embrace and harness the power of diversity (a word too often used to refer only to matters of gender or race) to create commercial as well as cultural successes, experiences that can be applied by us all. Packed with reflective learning, this is a book I keep going back to and every time I do, I find something new to think about. - Jenny Hearn, Director PWCDiversity is key to this engaging discussion of what leadership means. Ellison has a unique ability to plot psychological learning against a backdrop of real human theatre. The canvass moves from Afghanistan to Jerusalem, from cycling to salami, from the authenticity of leadership to the authenticity of gherkins. The world has needed someone to come out and say authoritatively that diversity will help your organisation thrive more successfully and do your job better. What Ellison is telling us is that diversity is not a tick box exercise but a vital tool and in fact a requirement of effective leadership.Ellison says you win trust by learning and listening, and she doesn’t shrink from the big questions, such as what leadership teaches us about ourselves and about those around us?I loved this book and the idea that leaders are leaders, all over the world and in every walk of life. Buy a copy of this book if you want to learn about diversity of teams, how women are empowered when they join together, and how commercial success and collaboration in business can be a shared cow. - Rebecca Hilsenrath, Chief Executive, Equality and Human Rights CommissionThis book presents us with diverse and deeply personal stories. It challenges us to embed the powerful lessons within them into our professional lives. As an educator, the text encouraged me to find vital learning about our work environment, space and boundaries, even from the most extreme and distressing circumstances. I was engrossed by the leader’s stories but really appreciated how the author summarised each chapter by directing the reader, to reflect on their own thinking and learning. Ellison’s insight, pace and clarity makes for a thought provoking read with lasting impact. - Niki Jackson, Director of Education NNLS / Youth Education Director.In the well populated field of Leadership Coaching books this one is different. It demonstrates how leadership takes many different guises but the qualities it requires are the same and the questions a Coach needs to explore are as relevant in times of cultural change as in active conflict zones as in board rooms. This thought provoking account of the writers experiences provides insights about how a Coach can enable the navigation of different leadership situations by considering the hidden story as well as the presenting facts. And a bonus for the reader is the stimulus questions at the end of each chapter - particularly valuable for Coach Supervision groups! - Liz Macann, former Head of Coaching, BBC.I often find it difficult to find a business book that stimulates my thinking and emotions. Rachel Ellison’s book clearly does this. I felt a personal connection and empathy with the leaders sharing their stories and could relate to the challenges they face. The real-life, non-corporate situations create powerful perspectives that are thought provoking and inspirational. It is a reminder to business leaders, sports coaches and parents of their responsibilities to care for their teams and families, as a collective of individuals with their own needs and to be a catalyst for each person to achieve their aspirations. The book challenges traditional ways of thinking with humility and in a non-arrogant style. - Geoff Ranson, Senior Director, Internal Audit Asda Wal-Mart.Rachel draws on the varied and fascinating experiences that coaching has exposed her to, creating a book that is colourful, thought-provoking and hard to put down. I especially liked the story of Fatima in Somalia and the near-impossible leadership choices she has to make. Rachel's analysis goes beyond the obvious and looks at upbringing, culture and personal drivers to help both leaders and coaches untangle complex issues at work. I loved it. / Deeply enjoyable. - Anthony Ryland, former Learning & Development Director, Samsung Electronics.We lead in a very different world today where so many rules are being rewritten in all organisations – private, public, NGO. Coaching is one essential tool which will allow us to lead effectively in such a changed world. Rachel Ellison’s fresh and provocative book challenges us in powerful ways as to how as leaders and coaches we must raise our game to remain relevant and excellent in this new world." - Alan Smith, Senior Executive at a global financial services organisation.This fascinating, insightful book takes the reader on a journey of others’ leadership experiences and coaching challenges, from the hot, dangerous war zones of Afghanistan and Syria to the mosaic tiled floors of the National Gallery, London. In each of its chapters, the author skilfully blends a personal human story with deeper more psychoanalytical insights, which can only leave us thinking harder about our leadership and interactions with colleagues. Equally skilfully the book draws out reflections for both leaders and coaches, the two complementary perspectives making it a particularly useful tool for each. - Tim Stew, British High Commissioner to Trinidad & Tobago, FCO.Rachel thoughtfully examines the essential importance of investing time in relationship building with your suppliers, and of really getting to know your team and nurture it. The international supermarket chapter skilfully raises questions about FMCG food retail in 21st century Britain, the deeper meaning and role of food in the lives of communities around the world, the type of food we buy and why. If only most consumers had the chance to read this chapter and build an understanding of the unique supply chains giving them access to wonderful produce. A must read for leaders, coaches and consumers. - Jane Steward, Managing Director, Eastgate LarderThis book provides a fascinating insight into both the art and the science of leadership coaching. The case studies are compelling and (sometimes uncomfortably) honest. The insight into how a coach picks up on signals, chooses what to name and how to frame questions will make me more self -ware as well as more observant of the unspoken, and perhaps even subconscious, cues from those who work with and for me. This book can help on the journey to becoming a transformational and not just a transactional leader. - Emma Squire, Director of Arts, Heritage and Tourism, Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport.Rachel Ellison’s book about leadership and coaching is incomparably fresh. Instead of shop worn theories of coaching pummelled by tired ideas, we are brought into the life space of her clients as they live and breathe their leadership challenges and dilemmas. From a refugee camp to neonatal intensive care, to elite high performance para-sport, this is a book about leadership as it is lived in the raw and about a coach who meets her clients where their experience, intellect and emotions converge. You the reader are invited to inhabit Ellison’s world and to learn along with her what it is like to help leaders achieve programmatic and moral excellence. - Dr Larry Hirschhorn, Director, Centre for Applied Research, Philadelphia USA; Chair Bridger Memorial Award Committee, ISPSO Rachel Ellison is pioneering in relation to coaching a lovely tradition that has been highly valued in the field of psychotherapy – describing real cases in a personal way, complete with rich details and intricacies of coaching practice. The reader can follow the narrative of each case through the eyes of both the client and the coach, with additional insights provided by the psychoanalytically oriented supervision group. The stories offer a deep questioning of the ‘good practice’ imperatives of the field and challenge many traditional interpretations of how the coaching process should proceed. It is not a book with ‘how to’ strategies for being a coach or a coaching client. It offers something much more important – a glimpse into the real struggles and delights of the coaching encounter. - Tatiana Bachkirova, Professor of Coaching Psychology and Director of the International Centre for Coaching and Mentoring Studies at Oxford Brookes University, UK.Table of ContentsForeword: Dr Susan Kahn; Introduction: Rachel Ellison.Chapter 1: Leading where it's hot, dusty and dangerous: What commercial and public-sector leaders can learn about effective leadership from non-governmental development aid workers.Chapter 2: A hero is someone who wins a war, not loses a leg: How a Paralympic coach led his diversely disabled athletes to gold.Chapter 3: Stocking the World Foods aisle: The story of how a global supermarket manager had to relearn how to lead effectively, in a multi-ethnic context.Chapter 4: Cooking for Conflict Resolution: An exploration of difference.

Book SynopsisHumanitarian aid workers are trying to make a difference in an increasingly dangerous world. Psychosocial Support for Humanitarian Aid Workers: A Roadmap of Trauma and Critical Incident Care highlights the risks of such work, educates professionals responsible for their duty of care, and brings together current thinking to promote collaborative working to support the carers of our world. From the humanitarian aid worker trying to organise support amongst chaos, to the professional offering a safe place for recovery, all of these individuals are at risk of becoming traumatised. Therefore, it is vital that we recognise the psychological risks on these individuals, and that they recognise how they can support themselves, so they can continue to function in the work that they do. This book can be used as a trauma awareness guide for all staff whose work exposes them directly or indirectly to trauma, and therefore becomes a risk to their physiTrade Review"Raising standards in psychosocial support for those working on humanitarian response to crises and disaster is only just being recognised by those organisations working in the field.

Book SynopsisThe Heart of Coaching Supervision takes us on a journey that starts with understanding who we are, and why we do what we do the way we do it, so that we can help those we work with understand themselves and their practice. The journey includes our background and personal and professional influences and considers the need for self-resourcing to resource others. It examines our being alongside our doing, to ensure that we can provide the best possible service to all those we work with. The book's highly experienced contributors provide a unique perspective on supervision's benefits. The chapters cover themes that support self-discovery and resourcing including the three Ps of supervision and coaching, diversity and inclusion, resourcing, working with intense emotions and the self as instrument. Nancy Kline's Thinking Environment is explored in a supervision context alongside creative forms of reflective and expressive wriTrade Review"The Heart of Coaching Supervision is an outstanding contribution to the literature.

The book provides theoretical knowledge, clinical approaches, and specific, detailed techniques that clinicians will find indispensable in the treatment of the most challenging and high-risk young trauma victims.

The treatment approach described here is flexible enough to adapt to real clients in the real world, regardless of trauma and attachment histories, family and living situations, or difficulties engaging in supportive therapeutic relationships. Clear and cohesive, the model presented here allows room for the individuality and approach of each therapist so that the therapeutic relationship can evolve in Trade Review"Attachment-Focused Trauma Treatment for Children and Adolescents is a great addition to the current literature on childhood traumatization. Developmental trauma remains an under-diagnosed and under-treated issue, and attachment disruption and dissociation often play a role in both trauma and its aftermath. In this book, Gomez-Peralez offers insight into the complex and often puzzling ways that trauma affects regulation, relating, and behavior. She provides numerous practical suggestions for stabilization and intervention that can be applicable not only to clinicians but also to caregivers and educators." —Na'ama Yehuda, MSC SLP, speech language pathologist in private practice in New York City, international consultant on developmental trauma and communication, and co-chair of the Child and Adolescent Committee of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and DissociationTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.

MFT is different from psychology and social work and this book seems to highlight the differences and explains how to market these differences for a job.”—Kristin Koberstein, MA, LMFT, is a licensed marriage & family therapist for University of Rochester Strong Behavioral Health and adjunct faculty member for Keuka College.“This book should be a required reading for every marriage and family therapy student as it provides not only information on the employability of a new MFT, but describes which skills, interests, and personality features are helpful in order to enjoy and prosper in each setting.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Person of the Therapist Training Model
Book SynopsisThe Person of the Therapist Training Model presents a model that prepares therapists to make active and purposeful use of who they are, personally and professionally, in all aspects of the therapeutic processrelationship, assessment and intervention. The authors take a process that seems vague and elusive, the self-of-the-therapist work, and provide a step-by-step description of how to conceptualize, structure, and implement a training program designed to facilitate the creation of effective therapists, who are skilled at using their whole selves in their encounters with clients. This book looks to make conscious and planned use of a therapist's race, gender, culture, values, life experience, and in particular, personal vulnerabilities and struggles in how he or she relates and works with clients. This evidence-supported resource is ideal for clinicians, supervisors, and training programs.Trade Review"Here is a book that claims ‘personal use of self can be trained, refined and enhanced to make for more effective therapy’ (p12). Intrigued, I found the Person of the Therapist Training model (POTT) had some very interesting things to say about personal development in counsellor training...Here is a course that is firmly embedded and clearly supported by the institution, both in terms of philosophy and finances – a far cry from much personal professional development here in the UK. I recommend the book to course directors and trainers as an example of what might be achieved given such an environment." - Chris Rose, Therapy TodayThis outstanding and deeply compassionate book charts new territory through its descriptions of the development of the therapist’s use of self. Clinicians in training as well as those with many years of experience will learn a great deal from its vivid case examples and descriptions of the Person of the Therapist Training Model. Training programs in psychology, social work, marriage and family therapy, nursing, counseling, etc., will benefit from its step-by-step descriptions of the implementation of the model. I plan to use this book in all of my classes to deepen the experience of my students in developing more meaningful connections with their clients.—Nancy Boyd-Franklin, PhD, is a Distinguished Professor at Rutgers University and the author of Black Families in Therapy: Understanding the African American Experience.Editors Aponte and Kissil have culled a group of contributors to provide a solid amalgamation of the essential principles that constitute the POTT training model. This long awaited text offers clinicians and researchers a treasure trove of concepts and techniques for using their own life experiences in facilitating therapeutic change. This comprehensive work is an essential resource for students as well as seasoned researchers and clinicians.—Frank M. Dattilio, PhD, ABPP, works in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Immediately engaging, the authors whisk readers into the private and intimate world of trainees/supervisees and themselves as they experience POTT step-by-step. They generously give everything needed to implement it professionally, with ample examples of overlaying it on a therapist’s favored approach. This is a rare glimpse into the marrying of the personal and professional that should be a part of every therapist’s training history as they "master" the use of self.—Cheryl L.

ThTrade ReviewNew Directions in Gestalt Group Therapy is a superlative book on Gestalt group therapy that once and for all shows that group therapy is part of Gestalt therapy’s relational DNA. It is much more than that. Daisy and Peter bring their unparalleled expertise in this field to comprehensively combine historical, theoretical, practical, and clinical material in order to clearly present their contemporary Gestalt group therapy model to the reader. They show that right now, in this particular world with our specific relational, social, political, and global crises, their relational dialogical approach to gestalt group therapy ought to be more widely known. New Directions in Gestalt Group Therapy is an important step toward bringing bringing their model of gestalt group therapy to clinicians and group practitioners of all modalities, for whom this book is an essential resource. Dan Bloom, Jd, LCSW. Past President Association for the Advancement of Gestalt Therapy & New York Institute for Gestalt Therapy. Editor in Chief: Studies in Gestalt Therapy: Dialogical Bridges.Since Dan Rosenblatt’s anecdotal little book Opening Doors, there have been a number of books on gestalt group therapy, including mine. None that I have seen though have the depth, detail, originality, comprehensiveness and usefulness as this one. And it is also touchingly personal at times. I think it is extremely very valuable for novice and experienced therapist alike, and will someday be a classic. Bud Feder, Phd. Co-Editor: Beyond the Hotseat Revisted. Author: Gestalt Group Therapy: A Practical Guide. Past president: Association for the Advancement of Gestalt Therapy & The New York Institute for Gestalt Therapy.Peter Cole and Daisy Reese have brought to life the processes of transformation in the context of the human experience through Gestalt Therapy. They have synthesized all that they learned in their training groups and private practice groups and allowed the reader a path to join them in their journey of hope and change.Connie Concannon, LCSW, CGP; Associate Clinical Professor UC San Francisco, Past President: American Group Psychotherapy Association.With New Directions in Gestalt Group Therapy, Peter Cole and Daisy Reese have made an important contribution to gestalt therapy’s growing library of clinical and theoretical literature. Cole & Reese’s integration of gestalt and group therapy principles opens up new avenues of thinking and introduces methodological advances that will be highly relevant to all gestalt therapists who work with groups: whether they work as practitioners, trainers or organizational consultants. Deeply personal in parts, and interlaced throughout with rich clinical material, this book is the product of mature clinicians who approach theory with sophistication and creativity. I recommend it to all gestalt therapists who work with groups.Gary Yontef, Phd. Author - Awareness, Dialogue and Process: Essays on Gestalt Therapy. Co-Founder and Senior Faculty: Pacific Gestalt Institute-----------This is a well-written, wonderful weaving together of solid gestalt therapy theory and modern group therapy principles, including the all-important systems theory. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The clinical material was interesting and helpful in elucidating the theory. After running groups and teaching group therapy for almost five decades, I found much to think about for my own practice and teaching. The authenticity, humanness, and mastery of Daisy and Peter shine throughout. I especially appreciated the various quotes - and the Afterword Essay commenting on the election of Donald Trump. I feel strongly that those of us with an understanding of group dynamics have much to say to our fellow citizens at this time in our country's history.Maryetta Andrews-Sachs, LICSW, CGP, FAGPA. Faculty (Former Dean and Chair) Washington (DC) School of Psychiatry National Group Psychotherapy Institute. Past President, Mid-Atlantic Group Psychotherapy Society.----------I love this whole book! It will be so useful to the world of group facilitators and the world of Gestalt practice. Peter and Daisy speak with a lovely balance between theory, pragmatics and examples: breaking new ground, they elaborate the shadow side of group dynamics in a way that expands our maps and our capacities to meet each other more fully and humanly while also calling our attention to the importance of the 'experienced cultural influences' and capacities for GGT to impact social change. A great new contribution.Mary Ann Kraus Psyd. Co-chair: Groups Facilitation Training Program, Gestalt Institute of Cleveland----------This new book of Peter Cole and Daisy Reese is another step in moving beyond the Hot Seat to group processes, integrating Gestalt ideas of awareness, contact and presence that focus on the individual, with field theory forces that relate to the group-as-a-whole. In today's digital world with its virtual connections, the idea of contact and the importance of embodiment, so central in Gestalt theories and Gestalt Group Therapy, seem obsolete. Peter and Daisy remind us that without it we lose our meaningful attachment to one another. The relational emphasis of the writers puts this book at the cutting edge in the field of psychotherapy. I recommend this book both to therapists who do not know enough about Gestalt Group Therapy, and to Gestalt colleagues who want to deepen their understanding in this field". Haim Weinberg, Phd. Co-Author: The Social Unconscious in Persons, Groups and Societies. Past President: Israeli Association of Group Psychotherapy and The Northern California Group Psychotherapy Society.----------New Directions in Gestalt Group Therapy does a fine job both of elaborating the theory of gestalt group therapy and of inviting the reader to the experience of what it is to participate in such groups.At the same time, this book goes beyond the sometimes-limiting boundaries of Gestalt therapy, introducing the reader to the wider view and values that the Gestalt philosophy of being entails. The authors remind us that there is a part of each person that sometimes is in need of help. They invite the reader to find hope both personally and collectively through connectedness and relationship. This book reminds us that all humans survive and thrive in groups, and the quality of our lives depends on our ability to co-exist as peacefully and respectfully as possible.Dr Talia Bar-Yoseph Levine. President Elect: Association for the Advancement of Gestalt Therapy. Editor: The Bridge: Dialogues Across Cultures and Gestalt Therapy: Advances in Theory and Practice.----------This clearly written book is an invaluable resource for clinicians of any theoretical orientation. It is packed with a wealth of essential information for beginning professionals as well as for seasoned therapists, and a must-read for students and those in training. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in deepening their knowledge and understanding of group work, and how groups work!Eva Gold, Psyd.
