Taylor & Francis Ltd Sustaining Depth and Meaning in School Leadership
Book SynopsisSustaining Depth and Meaning in School Leadership: Keeping Your Head concerns the emotional and psychological experience of school leadershipin particular, the felt experience of life as a headteacher. It describes the pressures and rewards of the role, together with some of the ways that school leaders successfully sustain and develop themselves and their teams in what has become an increasingly complex, challenging, and highly accountable role. This book explores the personal experience of leading schools. Part I provides an overview and analysis of current and historical trends in school leadership and offers some theoretical frameworks for making sense of these. Part II then offers psychodynamic approaches to supporting and developing school leaders and the impact that trends in executive education continue to have on this. Part III looks at approaches to school leadership development more generally, including team development; influences from the business world;Trade Review"I found this book impossible to put down! A compelling blend of well-researched theory and historical context set alongside real stories from real people from the frontline of schools and education, it offers a powerful narrative on the power of relationships to support leadership effectiveness in schools. As an absolute convert to the power of coaching, albeit later in life, this impressive book with an equally impressive set of contributors, manages to capture the reality of leading in schools, with all its highs and lows, whilst leaving you, as the reader, clearer and more optimistic about the future. Essential reading for any school leader!"Andy Buck, CEO Leadership Matters"At a time when the educational system is in one of its regular states of crisis, and when head teachers are leaving the profession at a worrying rate, Keeping Your Head is a vital contribution to understanding leadership in schools. Writing from a sophisticated psychodynamic and systems perspective but maintaining clarity and a practical focus, the highly experienced contributors to this book offer hugely important insights into ways of managing the enormous stress of school leadership. The book will prove to be a landmark collection for those who want to understand the emotional and psychological pressures of being a school leader – and how to survive them."Stephen Frosh, Professor of Psychology, Birkbeck, University of London"This book reflects deeply on the experience of school leadership - both the highs and the lows. The authors explore the complex and varied pressures on leaders and the many means to mitigate them, with insight and humanity. I recommend this book to anyone interested in education and especially those making or implementing education policy."Francis Listowel, The Earl of Listowel (PhD), Officer: All Party Parliamentary Group for the Teaching Profession; Vice Chair: All Party Parliamentary Group for looked After Children and Young People and Care Leavers"This a great book to add to any school leader’s 'go to' pile of leadership books. However, what makes this one stand out is that it talks to the reader and really gets to the heart of what it means to lead a school in such challenging times. I read with avid interest and appreciated the current voices of school leaders reflected throughout the book. Many chapters really resonated and confirmed the belief that remarkable people lead remarkable schools - but they are human and do also need support and guidance. Having worked in a range of challenging schools as a senior leader and in two as headteacher, I truly value the shared experiences that are captured in this book. Andrea and Emil have got under the skin of the enormity of the job, the fact that it can be an all-consuming and lonely job at times. In doing so, they offer solutions and suggestions which I think are invaluable to current and aspiring headteachers". Evelyn Forde, headteacher Copthall School"Everyone who knows about our schools is aware of the challenges and difficulties experienced by headteachers and other school leaders. As Keeping Your Head says, "school leaders today require higher degrees of self-awareness, emotional intelligence and political literacy than ever before." The book is in effect a manual not only for school leaders at all levels but also a range of others from school governors and inspectors to training providers. It is informed by a range of approaches from its thoroughly knowledgeable authors, including insights from the theory and practice of psychotherapy. There are numerous case studies, some of them quite emotional, and the whole work is supported by extensive research. It is hard to think of anyone needing but not yet benefitting from its advice who would fail to be helped by this book."Professor Robert Cassen, OBE, Emeritus Professor, London School of EconomicsTable of ContentsINTRODUCTION (Andrea Berkeley and Emil Jackson) 1 Keeping your head: the unspoken realities of headship (Andrea Berkeley) 2 The context and challenges of contemporary school leadership (Peter Early and Toby Greany) 3 Emotional factors in leading teaching and learning (Biddy Youell) 4 Individual, group and organisational dynamics: a theoretical overview (Judith Bell) 5 Executive coaching for the hidden realities of life as a school leader (Emil Jackson and Andrea Berkeley) 6 Leadership and governance: leadership pairs coaching (Clare Huffington) 7 On the leading edge of learning: work discussion groups for headteachers (Emil Jackson and Andrea Berkeley) 8 Learning leadership: lessons from the top (Ben Bryant) 9 The impact of personality preferences on school leadership (Emil Jackson) 10 Developing leaders: lessons from the business world (Barry Speirs and Andrea Berkeley) 11 Creating coaching cultures in schools (Chris Munro, Margaret Barr, & Christian van Nieuwerburgh) 12 Designing, managing and evaluating school leadership programmes (Sarah Harrison) 13 Lessons from "The London Challenge": a whole-system approach to leadership development (David Woods) 14 Talking heads: the voice of school leaders (Andrea Berkeley et al.)

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Intimacy and Alienation
Book SynopsisIntimacy and Alienation puts forward the author''s unique paradigm for psychotherapy and counselling based on the assumption that each patient has suffered a disruption of the ''self'', and that the goal of the therapist is to identify and work with that disruption.Using many clinical illustrations, and drawing on self psychology, attachment therapy and theories of trauma, Russell Meares looks at the nature of self and how it develops, before going on to explore the form and feeling of experience when self is disrupted in a traumatic way, and focusing on ways towards the restoration of the self.Written in an accessible style from the author''s singular perspective, Intimacy and Alienation will appeal to professionals in the fields of psychotherapy, counselling, social work and psychiatry, as well as to students and the lay reader.Table of ContentsThe Self in Conversation.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Everyday Mysteries A Handbook of Existential
Book SynopsisThis book provides an in-depth introduction to existential psychotherapy. Presenting a philosophical alternative to other forms of psychological treatment, it emphasises the problems of living and the human dilemmas that are often neglected by practitioners who focus on personal psychopathology.Emmy van Deurzen defines the philosophical ideas that underpin existential psychotherapy, summarising the contributions made by Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger and Sartre among others. She proposes a systemic and practical method of existential psychotherapy, illustrated with detailed case material. This expanded and updated second edition includes new chapters on the contributions of Max Scheler, Albert Camus, Gabriel Marcel and Emmanuel Levinas, as well as on feminist contributors such as Simone de Beauvoir and Hannah Arendt. In addition a new extended case discussion illustrates the approach in practice.Everyday Mysteries offers a fresh perspective for anyone trainTrade Review"This expanded edition of Emmy van Deurzen's classic work on existential therapy is more urgently needed today than when it was first published. In our contemporary psychotherapy world, more intent on scientific credibility and 'cure' for discomfort than on challenge to fuller living, this deeply wise book calls us back to a respect for the human dimensions of our practice. The new case study which concludes the book is a moving testimony to the efficacy of this approach where all else seems to fail." - Betty Cannon, President, Boulder Psychotherapy Institute, and author of Sartre and Psychoanalysis, USA"Emmy van Deurzen is a leading figure in the field of existential psychology who has written a comprehensive volume that illuminates how the problems of living can be the ideal focus of psychotherapy. She demonstrates how existential therapy invites people to engage in exploring universal human struggles as a way of living fully." - Gerald Corey, Professor Emeritus of Human Services, California State University at Fullerton, USA"This expanded edition of Emmy van Deurzen's classic work on existential therapy is more urgently needed today than when it was first published.
