As well as being a valuable sourcebook and offering a comprehensive overview, this edition includes updated references and a new section on recent developments and advances.The book begins with a consideration of the principles and philosophy underpinning person-centred therapy before moving to a comprehensive discussion of the classical theory upon which practice is based.

    2 in stock

    Book SynopsisIn common with Therapeutic Practice in Schools: Working with the Child Within (Routledge 2012), this second volume serves as a practical handbook for school-based counsellors, psychotherapists, arts therapists and play therapists working with young people. Written in accessible language, it is eminently applicable to the practice of both qualified and trainee therapists.Therapeutic Practice in Schools: The Contemporary Adolescent begins with an overview of key psychoanalytic ideas informing our understanding of adolescence before moving on to focus on life circumstances and issues which commonly bring young people to the therapistâs consulting room in the school. Dedicated chapters on key themes including identity, relationships, sex and sexuality, anger issues, self-harm, bereavement and bullying aim to deepen our understanding of the adolescent experience while also providing the therapist with invaluable insights into what one might say in the âhere and nowâ of the session. Chapter authors, all with considerable experience in the field, discuss approaches to sustaining the therapeutic relationship in the face of ambivalence or defiant resistance as well as thinking about the impact of social media on all aspects of adolescent development. The advantages and limitations of working with adolescents in the educational setting where school staff will have their own reasons for referring students for therapy, while the young people themselves might come with a very different agenda, are also covered. It is widely acknowledged that engaging troubled or troublesome adolescents in therapy can make an enormous difference to their lives. This book ensures that both trainee and qualified therapists are supported in the often daunting yet ever stimulating and enlivening task of working with young people in the school setting. Trade Review"The authors convey so clearly the essential ingredients of psychoanalytically influenced therapy – being open- minded without preconceptions, listening both to the adolescent’s feelings and those brought up in themselves, providing opportunity for expression and understanding and opening up the possibilities of different ways of looking at things. Intended primarily as clinical workbook for counsellors, psychotherapists and arts therapists, there is more than enough in this book to engage anybody interested in young people." – Peter Wilson, Founder of Young Minds and Clinical Advisor for The Place 2 Be, from the Foreword.

Throughout this book, play therapists are introduced to the histories of nature and play across cultures and cultural expectations and are then guided into an understanding of how nature and play intersect with current trends in society and psychotherapy. Readers will learn about how the therapeutic powers of play are activated and facilitated by the inclusion of nature in play therapy, and they will be taken step-by-step through a prescriptive case conceptualization model. They'll also find case studies that link theoretical tenets, the therapeutic powers and play and nature, and intended treatment outcomes.Nature-Based Play Therapy is an excellent introduction to a vital and growing area of the field, one that gives a well-rounded summary to a theoretically based model of treatment.Trade Review"Grounded in prescriptive play therapy, Dr. Nash’s clinical wisdom invites us to join her in the connective nexus between nature and play. Readers discover historical, cultural, and ethical insights mixed with relevant case examples that redefine the traditional ‘playroom space.’ What differentiates this text is Nash’s sequential model of case conceptualization, clinical reasoning, and decision making. The model challenges us to understand the client's needs, characteristics of play, and the matching of theoretical orientations to both the therapeutic powers of nature and play—all before ever considering the utilization of any technique. Integrative and inspiring!"Mary Anne Peabody, EdD, LCSW, RPT-S, associate professor of social and behavioral sciences, University of Southern Maine"Grounded in thorough research yet written for practical application, Nature-Based Play Therapy is a fusion of the core tenets of play therapy and nature. This text will complement play therapists' knowledge, perspective, further growth, and will benefit those they teach and/or serve."Franc Hudspeth, PhD, LPC-S, NCC, ACS, RPT-S, RPh, chair of counselor education at Sacred Heart University"This book is so needed in our field! Julie Nash grounds the growing interest in nature play therapy in theory and research. She sets the context with a brief review of the role of nature in history and religion. Then, very insightful and detailed chapters intersect nature with the seminal play therapy theories and the therapeutic powers of play. A very practical chapter of case studies reveals how to conceptualize and implement nature-based play therapy. Throughout, Julie interweaves her family’s experience in nature. This is an enjoyable, solid, must-read book for those who want to be well-grounded in nature-based play therapy!"Linda E.

  • Taylor & Francis The Therapistâs Use of Self

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book encourages and trains students and practicing marriage and family therapists to bring themselves into the therapy room, offering guidelines and strategies for being more present and personal with their clients.Mental health professionals are often taught and trained that therapy is serious business, to be cautious and conservative with therapeutic decision-making, and to stick to empirically supported and specific tools in sessions. What gets lost in this positivistic, formulaic, and scientific way of working are therapistsâ own unique voices, their creativity, flexibility, and the sense of playfulness that make the change process fun and upbeat. The Therapistâs Use of Self equips therapists with the skills they need to deepen their alliances with clients, to liberate themselves from an overreliance on models, and to bring their whole selves to the therapeutic encounter. Chapters cover pioneers in the field before exploring ways to bring ideas from outside thTrade Review“This book had me at the start; the analysis of the family therapy pioneers was the best I’d ever read. But then Selekman takes it a quantum leap further—capturing the true essence of conceptualizing and doing couple and family therapy, drawing on contemporary research and his own wisdom accrued from extensive experience in the trenches.”Barry L. Duncan, Psy.D., developer of the Partners for Change Outcome Management System, USA"Selekman has done it again. A book for any practitioner, chock-full of wisdom, guidance and encouragement to be more of ourselves as a therapist. After an affectionate review of the old masters of family therapy, Selekman gives us a creative and wide-ranging set of ideas to help us become more courageous as therapists. An aspiring read!"Guy Diamond, Professor Emeritus, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, USA"Matthew Selekman’s brilliant new book about the therapist’s use of self is exactly the book the field of relational and systemic therapies needs at this time. Wonderfully anchored in and appropriately paying homage to the pioneers of the field, Selekman provides the reader with a much-needed update of how to be most positively engaged and effective in these times. Building on a clear vision of the use of self in therapy that includes a very practical use-of-self toolkit, he offers inventive frameworks for therapeutic decision-making and ways of collaborating with clients to find innovative ways to resolve problems. Filled with poignant clinical examples and the wisdom of a seasoned therapist who has supervised couple and family therapy around the world, this is a book every couple and family therapist and student in the field should read and contemplate."Jay Lebow, Ph.D., ABPP, Senior Scholar and Clinical Professor, The Family Institute at Northwestern and Northwestern University, USA "As I began reading the first two chapters, my experience was of a travel along a memory lane, remembering the workshops and seminars I had the opportunity to enjoy with those incredible persons. By chapter four I was more on the transition to present time. Then I remember the time machine exercise Selekman uses. And of course, the next chapters moved me to the future use of his exercises. (And in there you’ll find the time machine) Definitely a very good book.

    Book SynopsisProviding both a depth and breadth of examples of ethical dilemmas which coaches may face as part of their practice, this book is the first comprehensive handbook of case studies in the field, supporting coaches in developing their ethical awareness and competence.The world of coaching has become increasingly complex over the past two decades. While the professional bodies have all released codes of conduct or ethical guidelines, these at best deal with general principles and serve as a point of reference for reflection. Ethical Case Studies for Coach Development and Practice is an essential accompaniment for coaches. Written by seasoned practitioners, this companion coaching case study book offers a more personal perspective on ethics in practice. Its simple structured layout and focus on ethical dilemmas make it an attractive course supplementary text and resource for practitioners. Divided into two sections, the guide explores the following themes: ethical developmeTrade Review'We learn best through real stories, and this book offers us 40 riveting examples of actual ethical coaching dilemmas. What would you do if you were the coach? Sneak behind the scenes with the expert coaches as they navigate through very tricky waters. The answers may not be as simple as you think!'Brian O. Underhill, PhD, PCC; Founder and CEO, CoachSource, LLC 'This new book provides a wealth of material through a case study approach, exploring many of the contemporary ethical dilemmas faced by coaches today from AI to race and from gender to managing multiple stakeholders. This text will be an essential addition to every coach's library.'Prof. Jonathan Passmore, Henley Business School, UK'What I loved about this book is that, at the same time as clearly having serious, theoretical or research-based underpinnings, these case studies are immensely readable and the lessons to be learned from them are clearly spelled out. I love a good case study and here we are spoiled for choice. Their strength is the way that they bring theory to life. We can talk about ethics in coaching and supervision at a conceptual level until the cows come home but the learning really begins when our CEO client walks into the coaching space at 10am and we can smell whisky on their breath. What do we actually do? The case studies that make up this very helpful book explore both straight-forward and very complex issues and cover one-to-one coaching, team coaching, and supervision in both internal and external coaching scenarios. The sheer breadth of ethical challenges presented is ultra-stimulating and a great way of helping the reader to examine and explore their own prejudices, biases, beliefs, and values and how they affect the decisions we take in and outside the coaching/supervision room. The later chapters explore the ethical challenges that the digital age has brought with it - managing digital records, avoiding data breaches, the role of AI, etc. - and handling challenges around diversity in its many forms. Very thoughtful stuff. This book would be a worthwhile addition to any coach's bookshelf.'Katharine St John-Brooks, Author of Internal Coaching: The Inside Story 'This book represents an important contribution in the exploration of ethics in coaching. The introductory chapter explores how learning in coach education and development is significantly enhanced using case studies. Chapter Two provides a thorough summary of how case studies have been used as a learning tool in well-established fields of study and offer the coach practitioner an in depth understanding of case formulation, why it matters, and the task is approached. The authors caution us there is no one right way, and they offer the reader several frameworks that allow a coach to maximize in-depth learning from a case study whether in the midst of a coach education experience, coach supervision, or self-directed learning.'Pam McLean, Co-founder, CKO, Hudson Institute of Coaching'Ethics in Coaching is core to the sustainability of the coaching profession and the sustainable practice of a coach. Ethical Case Studies book is practical, useful, and essential reading for coaches and coaching buyers. The book may invite coaches to reflect upon their previous and ongoing practice and help them to raise awareness and take charge of their development and refine their coaching practice.'Dr. Badri Bajaj, Coaching thought leader, President - ICF Delhi NCR Charter Chapter 2019-2021 and 2021-2023'Kurt Lewin famously noted that nothing is so practical as a good theory. A very close second to that would be good quality case studies to learn from experience, and this book hits it out of the park in this regard.'Aaron Jarden, Associate Professor, Centre for Wellbeing Science, University of Melbourne, Australia Table of ContentsAcknowlegements Editors Contributors Part One: Working with Case Studies for Coach Ethical Development 1.

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe Relationship Cards are 48 emotive and artistic images designed to help people to review the key relationships in their lives in a meaningful and often transformative way. The cards provide an engaging way for people to talk about and clarify their feelings, while reflecting on what they value in their relationships and what they might want to change. Spanning both positive and negative states in relationships, the cards show themes such as trust, resentment, fear of abandonment, drifting apart, encouragement and feeling supported. The accompanying booklet explains how to use the cards with participants in a supportive and safe way to facilitate deeper conversations about relationships with people in their lives, past and present. Accompanying translations are provided in German, French, Swedish, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Japanese.This beautiful resource can be used by educators, therapists or anyone wishing to open a dialogue about relationshTrade ReviewJulia Bird, Director of ThriveI am a founding director of a company that supports approximately 1,800 adults working in education to understand if a child has emotional developmental interruptions and what to do to make a difference. We train many teachers and other adults working in schools. Margot Sunderland’s books are recommended reading for those who attend our courses. Our trainees find the Draw On books very helpful in training and then also with their children - not just those children identified for special help. They deal with universal life themes relevant for all. I particularly like the theoretical explanation mixed with superb, doable activities/exercises and copyable handouts.Margot is an acknowledged expert in her field and her passion to make such important understandings and ways of working with troubled children accessible to ordinary people - parents, teachers, support workers - is manifest in the old excellent editions. Her suggestions for the new editions for both books are really exciting. I certainly will recommend the new editions to the people with whom I work.What is needed are work books that give the basic theoretical understanding - e.g. why using imagery is a potent way of supporting children to process feelings - with very usable activities that ordinary people can use to great effect with their children or with the children with whom they work.The addition of the cards will help adults open the conversation with children/young people about difficult feelings. These are a real improvement on the books as they stand now. To have images that are so evocative will enhance the dialogue and give opportunities for all involved to tickle the imagination and make more sense and help the children digest their emotional responses to life situations that cause them such pain and difficulty.The new suggestions will take the work with children from labelling feelings without a real connection to deeper meaning to an integration of feelings, imagination and language that deepen awareness and supports emotional development.The cards will not go out of date as I imagine they will illustrate life’s difficulties that are timeless.I absolutely support the need for updated editions of these superb books and think the cards to be incredibly helpful in supporting children to tell their stories and process trauma.Table of Contents48 picture cards each with an image and short caption covering different types of relationships and ways of relatingShort booklet covering suggested usage of the cards and guidance around integrating the productive longer term counselling provided in the linked book, Draw on Your Relationships Captions and booklet translated into German, French, Swedish, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Japanese

    Book SynopsisEmotion-focused therapy is a research-informed psychological therapy that to date has mainly been studied in the context of depression, trauma and couple distress. The evidence suggests that this therapy has a lasting and transformative effect. Ladislav Timulak presents EFT as a particular therapeutic approach that addresses psychological human suffering, offering a view that puts more emphasis on attending to the distress, rather than avoiding or suppressing it. Focusing on the latest developments in EFT, Transforming Emotional Pain in Psychotherapy presents a theory of human suffering and a model of therapy that addresses that suffering. The model of suffering assumes that the experienced emotional pain is a response to an injury that prevents or violates the fulfilment of the basic human needs of being loved, safe, and acknowledged.

    Book SynopsisWhat can child and adolescent counsellors and therapists learn from research? What evidence is there for the effectiveness of different therapies and techniques? How can developmental or neuroscience research inform or inspire therapeutic work with young people? This book provides the answers to these questions, and more. Leading experts in the field take you through the latest research findings in child and adolescent therapy, discussing how each is relevant to the work of practitioners. Today, both therapists and trainees need to be aware of, and engage with, research findings. The book presents, accessibly, the current best knowledge and its implications for practice.Trade ReviewThis book is extremely well thought-out and is a must-have for those working with children and young people. -- Della AustinThis book is the ′go-to′ resource for all those involved in supporting young people. -- Andrew ReevesThis is a ground breaking book for counsellors and psychotherapists working with children and young people. The contributors acknowledge the scepticism of many practitioners in relation to adopting an "evidence based approach" and each chapter is likely to provoke debate and discussion. For me the power of this book lies in the way the authors employ their own self-reflexivity to model an approach to evidence-based practice, and suggest ways their readers might set about finding and examining evidence themselves. Through reading this work, each of us may, indeed, become "research-invigorated". -- Professor Miranda WolpertEssential Research Findings in Child and Adolescent Counselling and Psychotherapy makes an invaluable contribution to research-informed practice with younger clients. Written by some of the leading figures in the field, it provides practitioners with an authoritative and accessible overview of up-to-date scientific knowledge. -- John McLeodWith contributions from a range of experts, the text offers specific therapeutic guidance for working effectively with children and young people with mental health problems, drawing on the latest research evidence. -- Panos VostanisThere are two strongly held narratives around today about what makes for a good counsellor or psychotherapist: the narrative of ‘clinical experience’ verses the narrative of ‘research evidence’. This book skillfully brings these two narratives together into a coherent and complementary whole. It provides an engaging overview of research in the field of children and young peoples psychological therapies written by some of the world leaders in the field. It is not a book about research but more helpfully, it is a book about how to understand and use research evidence, to blend with clinical experience, to become a better therapist. It is one of the most accessible and comprehensive summaries of the research evidence that I have read - essential for all who are serious about their therapeutic practice. -- Duncan LawEssential Research Findings in Child and Adolescent Counselling and Psychotherapy is extremely important reading for child psychotherapists who are interested in the latest research, as well as for those who would like to be better informed but have tended to find the area of research daunting and arduous to digest. Rather than being purely about research, this book acts as a guide to understanding research evidence and how to use it to reflect on one′s own practice to become a better therapist. I would strongly recommend this reading to all Child and Adolescent Psychotherapists -- Rebecca WoodhamsThis is a practitioner-friendly text that arms counsellors with knowledge on how their ways of working are, or can be, underpinned by research findings. -- Dr Ann Dalzell * Clinical consultant, psychotherapist and supervisor in private practice *I really enjoyed this book. I think it’s well written, informative and interesting. It will appeal to students and experienced practitioners alike – we all need to participate in applying research findings to our practice and in becoming, as the editors suggest, ‘research inspired’. -- Caroline AnstissTable of ContentsIntroduction: What can child therapists learn from research? - Nick Midgley, Jacqueline Hayes and Mick Cooper Epidemiology: Are mental health problems in children and young people really a big issue? - Ann Hagell and Barbara Maughan Neurobiology, attachment and trauma: The development of mental health problems in children and young people - Graham Music Therapy outcomes: Is child therapy effective? - Terry Hanley and Julia Noble Therapy outcomes: What works for whom? - Peter Fonagy, Liz Allison and Alana Ryan What leads to change?

    Book SynopsisWhen you are showered with attention, it can feel incredibly romantic and can blind you to hints of problems ahead. But what happens when attentiveness becomes domination? In some relationships, the desire to control leads to jealousy, gaslighting, threats, micromanaging--even physical violence. If you or someone you care about are trapped in a web of coercive control, this book provides answers, hope, and a way out. Lisa Aronson Fontes draws on both professional expertise and personal experience to help you: *Recognize controlling behaviors of all kinds. *Understand why this destructive pattern occurs. *Determine whether you are in danger and if your partner can change. *Protect yourself and your kids. *Find the support and resources you need. *Take action to improve or end your relationship. *Regain your freedom and independence.Trade Review"I wish I'd had this book in my youth, when I was the victim of coercion that whittled away at my self-esteem. This book should be in every women's center, police station, and therapist's office. It cuts through the jargon, gets to the heart of the matter, and provides tools of liberation."--Magdalena Gómez, author of Shameless Woman "The first comprehensive guide to overcoming coercive control. Dr. Fontes provides simple tools to assess your own or a loved one's relationship and offers practical steps to getting free, illustrated with real-life stories. The writing is sharp and evocative and the research is impeccable. A path-breaking work."--Evan Stark, PhD, MSW, Professor Emeritus, Rutgers University School of Public Affairs"An essential read in the #MeToo era. Domestic abuse is not just about physical abuse--it is about power and control, the dynamics of which are not always visible to others. Dr. Fontes makes the invisible visible through case studies and gives practical advice to spot the red flags. An empowering book highlighting that there is life after abuse."--Laura Richards, MSc, founder, Paladin National Stalking Advocacy Service, United Kingdom; co-host, Real Crime Profile podcast "Dr. Fontes makes the dynamics of coercive control understandable to everyone. In plain language and with clear examples, she describes the tactics of domineering individuals and their effects on victims. Dr. Fontes is particularly thoughtful about including diverse couples and families. After reading this book, no one will be able to ask, 'Why does she stay?'"--Juan Carlos Areán, Director, National Latin@ Network for Healthy Families and Communities "This book reveals hidden dimensions behind relationships where one partner is controlled by the other. Dr. Fontes explains the dynamics of coercive control and deciphers the pattern so we can all understand it. Read this book and reclaim your life."--Rabbi Efraim Eisen, marriage, family, and child therapist, Amherst, Massachusetts "This book is gripping and nuanced. It will be extremely helpful to anyone grappling with issues of coercive control. As a therapist with decades of experience, and a person who has been in coercive relationships, I learned a great deal. The stories of women and men from wide-ranging backgrounds pulled me in deeply. Complex, profound ideas are expressed in easy-to-read language. A 'must-have' resource!"--Janine Roberts, EdD, past president, American Family Therapy Academy "Fontes's writing is clear and vividly illustrated with real-life stories from her decades of work helping abuse victims become survivors. Invisible Chains is a hopeful book that shows a way out of coercive control relationships and illustrates the promise of healing and recovery."--Jeffrey L. Edleson, PhD, Dean and Professor, School of Social Welfare, University of California, Berkeley "This powerful and informative resource delivers essential information in a nonjudgmental and sensitive manner. People who work in the legal and criminal justice systems need this book to help keep victims and their children safe. The book is easy to read, but in no way simplistic. I will be placing a copy of this book in our office library as a resource for our attorneys and advocates."--Ismael R. Ozanne, Dane County District Attorney, Madison, Wisconsin"There are illustrations throughout the book, providing insight into the spectra of behaviors that vary from supportive through questionable to outright abusive. The author has included one- and two-sentence sidebars on many pages, so that a reader can leaf through the book and quickly find issues of interest to read in detail. Although the book is written in a linear fashion, the sidebars make it possible to jump around….Some of the best material in the book reflects the author's willingness to include dynamics that are seldom directly addressed in examinations of domestic violence….Fontes empowers readers by providing questionnaires for assessment of controlling relationships and lethality, as well as determination of victims' coping strategies….People trying to make sense of difficult or isolated relationships will find this book useful to explain what is happening to them, their relatives, or their friends. The vignettes throughout the book make it very readable. Although the concept of coercive control might not be familiar to some readers, this book clarifies what it is and provides practical advice for escaping from it."--PsycCRITIQUES, 1/11/2016"Excellent for people who are under someone's coercive control or know someone who might be. The book is also recommended for those who have the opportunity to help victims in their work such as therapists, lawyers, and police officers. (starred review)."--Library Journal, 4/1/2015 "This comprehensive, exceptionally helpful guide to coercive relationships will enable readers to identify abusive patterns, determine safe responses, and plan exit strategies. Fontes (Interviewing Clients across Cultures) has a doctorate in counseling psychology and is an expert in family and domestic violence. Her expertise comes out in every page as she outlines problem behaviors and presents multiple options (leaving, defining new boundaries, determining how to safely stay in a relationship) in a non-judgmental but pragmatic fashion….Fontes has a firm command of both the explanations and descriptions of coercive behavior, as well as how people in such relationships can extricate themselves. An eminently readable book….Readers who want to check their own relationships or keep an eye out for their loved ones will find this to be a fascinating, disturbing read."--Publisher's Weekly, 3/23/2015"This comprehensive, exceptionally helpful guide to coercive relationships will enable readers to identify abusive patterns, determine safe responses, and plan exit strategies.
