New Techniques of Grief Therapy is an indispensable resource for professionals working in hospice, hospital, palliative care, and elder care settings; clinicians in broader health-care and mental health-care practices; executive coaches; and students in the field of grief therapy.Trade Review"Clinicians want—and need—more than theory to guide them in their work with the bereaved. They also seek effective, how-to information to assist those contending with grief of all kinds, whether prompted by death or non-death loss. Nowhere else in the literature can professionals find such a wealth of interventions that help the mourner identify, express, and transform their responses to loss, reaffirm meaning, revamp life narratives, and develop healthy continued connection to lost loved ones. This book is a must have; it’s a veritable gold mine for all who treat the bereaved, from the newest students to the most seasoned therapists."—Therese A. Rando, PhD, BCETS, BCBT, author of Treatment of Complicated Mourning and co-author of Treating Traumatic Bereavement: A Practitioner’s Guide"Robert Neimeyer brings us a third outstanding collection in his excellent series on grief counseling and therapy. It features fifty-nine accessible chapters by authors from around the world; addresses diverse challenges in learning how to live meaningfully not only with bereavement but also with non-death-related losses; and concentrates on concrete techniques (illustrated by real-life examples) for supporting others in meeting those challenges. It is filled with innovative methods for practitioners, understanding for advanced students; and wisdom for both."—Thomas Attig, PhD, author of How We Grieve: Relearning the World"At last! A text that deals with death-related grief as well as that resulting from non-death loss. It offers a broad range of methods for helping persons negotiating both normative and traumatic life transitions. Along with dozens of creative contributors, Bob Neimeyer brings together in this volume his vast clinical experience, artistic talent and novel educational methods to enrich the field and the lives of those it serves."—J. Shep Jeffreys, EdD, FT, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and author, Helping Grieving People: When Tears Are Not EnoughThis volume continues Robert Neimeyer’s quest to bring creative insights and interventions to clinicians working with loss and bereavement. The international cast of contributors provides a rich trove of practical tools together with case reports to anchor the learning experience. Whether you are a newcomer to the field or a highly experienced practitioner, this book will broaden and deepen your perspective. My recommendation—Go for it! —Simon Shimshon Rubin, PhD, director of the International Laboratory for the Study of Loss, Bereavement, and Human Resilience, and author of Working with Loss and Bereavement"This highly anticipated volume brims with therapeutic exercises for people coping with death and non-death losses, providing expert guidance on how, when, and for whom they might be engaged. These versatile techniques to address shattering life events will be essential tools in every clinician’s toolkit."—Donna Schuurman, PhD, director of Advocacy and Training, Dougy Center"Like the two volumes that precede it, New Techniques of Grief Therapy is an indispensable resource that provides practical, road-tested techniques that are firmly grounded in theory. Each technique is clearly described and, notably, is illustrated by case examples. Whether a student, a clinician, or researcher, the reader will find a treasure trove of new and useful tools to help them serve those who are grieving both death and non-death losses. This volume does much to broaden our responses to the grieving person and to serve them more creatively and effectively." —Christopher Hall, chief executive officer, Australian Centre for Grief and BereavementTable of ContentsForeword by Darcy Harris; Part I.

Taylor & Francis Ltd AttachmentInformed Grief Therapy
Book SynopsisAttachment-Informed Grief Therapy bridges the fields of attachment studies, thanatology, and interpersonal neuroscience, uniting theory, research, and practice to enrich our understanding of how we can help the bereaved. The new edition includes updated research and discussion of emotion regulation, relational trauma, epistemic trust, and much more.In these pages, clinicians and students will gain a new understanding of the etiology of problematic grief and its treatment, and will become better equipped to formulate accurate and specific case conceptualization and treatment plans. The authors also illustrate the ways in which the therapeutic relationship is crucially important though largely unrecognized element in grief therapy and offer guidelines for an attachment-informed view of the therapeutic relationship that can serve as the foundation of all grief therapy.Written by two highly experienced grief counselors, this volume is filled with instructive casTrade Review"Attachment-Informed Grief Therapy is a fascinating book! Kosminsky and Jordan have written a scientifically sound, clinically innovative, well-argued, and extremely informative volume. The authors show how insights from attachment theory and neuroscience are the keys that unlock the puzzle of healthy and disordered grief responses, and how, through understanding unmet attachment needs, attachment-related emotions and defenses, and the broaden-and-build repercussions of attachment security, grief therapists can help bereaved clients to manage their grief reactions and to find ways to move forward. I enjoyed reading this gracefully written and profound book and I strongly believe that it will become essential reading for clinicians, researchers, and students interested in the study and treatment of disordered grief."Mario Mikulincer, professor of psychology, Baruch Ivcher School of Psychology, Reichman University, Israel"In this remarkable revision of their ground-breaking volume, Phyllis Kosminsky and Jack Jordan penetrate still more profoundly into the developmental, interpersonal, and intersubjective neurobiological underpinnings of attachment that give rise and form to all grief. More than a compendium of clinical wisdom and contemporary theory and research, Attachment-Informed Grief Therapy provides resonant insights and concrete principles for helping clients read the deep text of their own needs in the wake of loss. Equally, it instructs the reader in how to become the secure base that allows survivors to integrate the rupture and realign the bond with a significant other who is present even in absence. I, for one, am a better therapist and companion to those who mourn for the gift of their vision."Robert A. Neimeyer, PhD, co-editor of The Handbook of Grief Therapy and director of The Portland Institute for Loss and Transition"The second edition of this important volume is a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers alike. Updating, expanding, and deepening their understanding of the interface between attachment styles and the processing of bereavement, Kosminsky and Jordan's integration of new findings from neuroscience adds an important dimension to their overview. The ample clinical material included is accompanied by rich and thoughtful consideration of the cases at hand. Accompanying these exemplary clinicians as they weave together theory, research and practice on bereavement will enrich the therapeutic encounter for therapists at all stages of their professional development." Simon Shimshon Rubin, PhD, director of the International Laboratory for the Study of Loss, Bereavement, and Human Resilience at the University of Haifa, Israel, and co-author of Working with the Bereaved: Multiple Lenses on Loss and Mourning "Reading this book in one stitting, as I did, left me moved. It starts with a crystal-clear exposition of contemporary attachment theory and its neuroscience basis, defines and easy-to-understand attachment framework for helping bereaved people, and shows how sensitive therapy can help overcome physiological dysregulation and restore meaning. Convincing clinical illustrations are used throughout, contributing to an overall sense of two vastly experienced clinicians passing on deep theoretical and practical expertise to the next generations. Strongly recommended." Jeremy Holmes, MD, FRCPsych, University of Exeter, United Kingdom, and author of Exploring in Security: Towards an Attachment-Informed Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy"Grief, that harrowing experience after the death of a loved one, is again beautifully described in the second edition of Attachment-Informed Grief Therapy. What the authors have accomplished in this edition will continue to enrich how clinicians work with the grief-stricken and will provide them with an expanded knowledge of how attachment shapes the experience of grief in bereavement. And Kosminsky and Jordan do more. The rhythm of the writing combined with their clarity and deftness in explicating theory and neuroscience make Attachment-Informed Grief Therapy a book that is a pleasure to read."Dorothy Holinger, PhD, author of The Anatomy of Grief"In the second edition of this groundbreaking volume, Phyllis Kosminsky and John Jordan show us how to help our clients navigate the landscape of life, with all of its fault lines. Filled with deep empathy and wisdom, Attachment-Informed Grief Therapy is a book that will inform and inspire anyone who is in a position to offer support to people dealing with significant loss or with other difficult and painful losses." Jakob van Wielink, The School for Transition, The Netherlands, and co-author of Loss, Grief, and Attachment in Life Transitions: A Clinician's Guide to Secure Base Counseling"This volume provides a wonderful intergration of the concepts related to attachment, current theories of grief, and contemporary neuroscience. The book answered questions about attachment and therapy that I didn't even know that I had! It is an absolute must-read for any clinician who wishes to enhance their practice and provide sensitive and well-informed support to those who are grieving." Darcy Harris, PhD, professor, Thanatology Department, King's University College at Western University and co-editor of the Routledge Series in Death, Dying, and Bereavement "Finally! In an extraordinary blend of scholarship and clinical acumen, the rich store of information located in attachment theory/research has been retrieved and integrated with what the bereaved specifically require in the aftermath of significant loss. Synthesizing developmental psychology, traumatology, thanatology, neuroscience, and therapy research, Kosminsky and Jordan brilliantly elucidate the mourner's experience and needs, along the way operationalizing what clinicians must know to intervene successfully to promote healthy adaptation. Practical and cutting edge, this book makes a revolutionary contribution and will become required reading for those working with all kinds of loss." Therese Rando, PhD, BCETS, BCBT, founder and clinical director, The Institute for the Study and Treatment of Loss, Warwick Rhode Island, and author of Coping with the Sudden Death of Your Loved: A Self-Help Handbook for Traumatic Bereavement "Attachment-Informed Grief Therapy is a must-read for grief counselors. This is a book that every therapist should have in his or her library and one they will consult regularly." Kenneth J. Doka, PhD, senior consultant to the Hospice Foundation of America and author of Grief is a Journey: Finding Your Path Through Loss"This is an exceptional text! Written by two highly skilled clinicians, it presents the state of the art in attachment theory and bereavement in both a highly engaging and practical form. This book effectively bridges both research and practice and attachment and thanatology in a way that no other texts have previously done. Richly illustrated with clinical examples, this impressive book will enrich the understanding and skills of both beginning and experienced clinicians."

It teaches both children and the adults that look after them about what anxiety is, where it comes from, why it happens and, most importantly, that it happens to everyone, that it is ok and that a lot of the time we can manage it.

Book SynopsisSurvivors of trauma are disproportionately represented in agencies providing a broad range of behavioral, social, and mental health services.

It covers a diverse range of important topics, including foundations of effective supervisory relationships, the developmental, ecological, and problem-solving model, professional development for supervisors, and preparation of future supervisors, and includes many new chapters devoted to contemporary supervision issues. I highly recommend this book to all current and prospective school psychology supervisors."Joseph Prus, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus at Winthrop University, USA"The DEP Model of supervision is a superb resource for any current and future school psychology supervisor. The framework includes practical applications that applies to all areas of school psychology with an important focus on essential skills such as self-care and social justice. The second edition builds upon the first with updated best practices, including case examples, reflection activities, and practice-ready tools."Laura Swanlund, Ph.D., NCSP, LCP, Director of Comprehensive Mental Health and Related Service with Community Consolidated School District 15, Palatine, IL"As a trainer of the Illinois School Psychologists Association’s Supervisor Credential Training Program, I can attest that the content covered in the first edition of Supervision in School Psychology: The Developmental, Ecological, Problem-solving Model upon which the training is based, has been eagerly received by supervisors from a broad range of experience ranging from early career to seasoned practitioners. The second edition has been enhanced by extended coverage of the ecological component which includes timely topics related to recent events that have affected school communities. These include defining practice from a social justice perspective, demonstrating multicultural responsiveness, advocating for systems change activities, and others. I have no doubt that such enhancements and others like chapters on self-care, telesupervision, and addressing problems in professional competence will fuel continued interest and enthusiasm."Rosario C. Pesce, PhD., NCSP, J. S. Morton HS District, Cicero, IL (Retired), School Psychology Coordinator of Clinical Training, Loyola University Chicago, USA"Supervision in School Psychology: The Developmental, Ecological, Problem-solving Model provides a comprehensive model for supervision in the field, connecting current research with practical application strategies and tools to support the professional growth of school psychologists and school psychology supervisors at all stages of career development. The inclusion of chapters focused on diversity, cultural responsiveness, and social justice advocacy as critical components of school psychology practice and supervision further enhance the value and utility of this already invaluable resource. Practical content related to tele-supervision and self-care is both timely and necessary to the development and retention of highly qualified practitioners and supervisors at the practicum, intern, and credentialed psychologist levels. The included case studies, reflection activities, and tools can immediately be integrated into practice, enhancing, and improving supervision outcomes. This resource will continue to serve as the foundation for our district’s school psychology supervision model."Donna M. Desaulniers, MS, Program Manager, School Psychology Services, Fairfax County Public Schools, VA"The developmental nature of the DEP model makes it an invaluable framework for supervision of school psychology graduate students, early career school psychologists, and even seasoned practitioners! Many field supervisors lack formal training in the provision of supervision, and this book provides the structure, real world case studies and reflection activities to help fill that void. The second edition does a fantastic job expanding coverage on issues that have increased in focus in recent years, such as social justice advocacy, self-care, and telesupervision."Karen Monahan, Ph.D., NCSP, Coordinator of Psychological Services, Fort Mill Schools, SC"With this updated edition, Drs. Simon and Swerdlik provide a must-read for supervisors working with school psychologists from novice to expert.

The numerous case examples and tools included in the appendices provide helpful, practical resources to improve and enhance supervision and the attention to social justice and telesupervision are provided at a critical time for the field of school psychology.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Transitioning to Internal Family Systems Therapy
Book SynopsisTransitioning to Internal Family Systems Therapy is a guide to resolving the common areas of confusion and stuckness that professionals often experience when facilitating the transformational potential of the IFS model. Real-life clinical and autobiographical material is used throughout from the author's supervision practice, together with insights from IFS developer Richard C. Schwartz and other lead trainers and professionals. With the use of reflective and practical exercises, therapists and practitioners (those without a foundational therapy training) are encouraged to get to know and attend to their own inner family of parts, especially those who may be struggling to embrace the new modality. Reflective statements by professionals on their own journeys of transition feature as a unique element of the book. Endnotes provide the reader with additional information and direct them to key sources of information on IFS. Trade Review"IFS is a radically different paradigm from most other psychotherapies. So many new IFS therapists struggle to fully understand the new concepts and fully embrace the new techniques. Emma Redfern is an accomplished IFS therapist who has years of experience helping therapists make this transition. In this book, she has distilled the lessons from that experience into practical tips and exercises. She has also borrowed IFS wisdom from me and many IFS trainers and offers all of this in a very readable and relatable package. If you’re struggling at all with becoming an IFS therapist, this book is for you." Richard Schwartz, PhD, creator of internal family systems therapy"This is a book for all. Emma's inclusive style brings a deeper understanding of IFS to practitioners from a non-counselling background. She guides the reader to a deeper understanding of the methodology, making IFS accessible and real. She answers the ‘why’ so that you can adapt and take IFS to your own organisations and communities. It's like learning to play music by ear when you have previously only played off the script." Helen Telford, certified IFS practitioner and leading independent management consultant working across Australia and New Zealand"Transitioning to Internal Family Systems Therapy is a welcome addition to the IFS literature, filling a void for therapists and practitioners making this sometimes challenging transition. With refreshing clarity, Redfern demystifies common and predictable dilemmas and potential barriers that those transitioning to IFS will encounter. Practical exercises complement each chapter’s text. The reader is encouraged to remember they are training in a new modality from a position of competence and ability, and Redfern reassures that with study and practice, the gaps in knowledge and skill will begin to fill in. Encouragement to embrace IFS practice by experiencing it not only as a provider but also as a client is especially poignant. There are many examples from Redfern’s own practice that help to normalize the challenges of this type of transition and offer ongoing compassion to parts of the therapist and practitioner who may get polarized during their journey. This book will be a very compelling companion and an invaluable resource to be returned to many times." Ann E.

Book SynopsisTherapeutic Conversations with Adolescents takes readers into the office of a seasoned therapist, where they can be a fly on the wall of live therapy sessions. Full of actual dialogue and the processing behind the choice of responses and interventions, this book stands in contrast to the dozens of books about adolescent therapy that discuss only theory, conjecture, and generic strategies. Teenagers today need therapists who can offer robust and unpretentious therapeutic relationships, as well as conversations that matter enough to hold their clients' attention and make them want to come back for more. Readers will come away from this book understanding how to tread the delicate balance between the support and confrontation, the forthrightness and discretion, and the humor and tenacity that therapists need to make a real and lasting impact with teenagers. Trade Review"In her newest book, Janet Edgette encourages us to be brave enough to violate some of the most hoary and archaic rules of psychotherapy. She reminds us that therapy is rooted in our capacity to think deeply and compassionately and that it’s not just about what to do with our adolescent patients—it’s about how to be with them."Brad E. Sachs, PhD, psychologist and author of The Good Enough Teen, The Good Enough Therapist, and When No One Understands“Janet Sasson Edgette has yet again proved to us that she has her fingers on the pulse of what it’s like to be an adolescent today. This book illustrates the range of issues that kids face from the inside out and the range of responses that therapists can utilize to engage this population. I couldn’t put this book down! Janet’s insight, perception and authenticity are so refreshing!"Amy Fantalis, MS, MSW, LCSW, psychotherapist"Therapeutic Conversations with Adolescents is an unprecedented and extraordinary guide for therapists treating teens and families.

Seedall, Ph.D, Associate Professor at Utah State University, Associate Co-Editor of The Handbook of Systemic Family Therapy, and Co-Author of Deliberate Practice in Systemic Family Therapy"This must-read book reveals how common societal discourses and interrelated “isms” result in the individual, couple, and family relationship problems seen in therapy. This seminal book’s illustrative case examples, reflective questions, specific competencies and other core tools help novice and seasoned therapists and researchers to empower couples, families, and individuals to reject harmful societal discourses and improve their relationships according to their own values."Shalonda Kelly, PhD, Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey; author of Diversity in Couple and Family Therapy: Ethnicities, Sexualities, and Socioeconomics"Knudson-Martin’s pedagogical and clinical brilliance makes SERT principles of mutuality and equity accessible and practical. Readers will find clearly articulated definitions and clinical examples of how to engage and embody the humble contextual relationality the model offers us and our clients."Jessica ChenFeng, PhD, Fuller Theological Seminary, co-author of Finding Your Voice as a Beginning Marriage and Family Therapist"In this wonderful beautifully written book, Carmen Knudson-Martin presents her cutting-edge approach to relational therapy, the product of a lifetime of experience as a therapist, scholar, teacher, researcher, and supervisor, Knudson-Martin provides a compelling clear theoretical framework for socio-emotional relationship therapy, offers a guide to the specific steps in its practice, and supplies numerous evocative clinical examples. This is a book that illuminates essential aspects of relational therapies that are often ignored by others: the implicit underlying values underlying treatment. Feminist, egalitarian, but ultimately human, this book raises the consciousness of practitioners about vital aspects of relational therapy, having to do with power, social class, and other aspects of intersectionality. Valuable either as a comprehensive approach to treatment or as a source for those of various specific therapy orientations about how to incorporate issues about gender, culture, and intersectionality into relational therapy, this is the book about relational therapy you should read this year."Jay Lebow, Ph.D., ABPP, Clinical Professor, Family Institute at Northwestern and Northwestern UniversityTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Ethical Coaches Handbook
Book SynopsisWhat does it mean to be ethical as a coach? Just how ethical are you? How does ethics influence your coaching and how do you know if you are engaging in ethical practice? This important and eye-opening volume provides critical insight from the thought leaders in coaching across a full range of ethical issues.Presented in four parts, this new handbook works to guide the reader towards ethical maturity to strengthen their practice, though examination of theory and thought provoking practice examples. Part 1, Foundations of Ethics in Coaching, provides a detailed overview of the basic principles of ethical coaching. Part 2, Ethics in Coaching Practice, details specific examples of where you will need to think ethically and be guided by good ethics within your practice. Part 3, Pushing the Boundaries of Ethical Thinking in Coaching, dives deeper into topics such as race, managing mental health, the environment and marketing. Part 4 consists of twelve case studies which encourage you to think about putting the theory of the book into practice.The Ethical Coachesâ Handbook will provide ideal support to students, practitioners and coach educators looking to deepen, broaden and enhance their ethical coaching practice.Trade Review"This is a timely book for coaching practitioners concerned with the everyday ethical challenges posed by our work in an increasingly turbulent world. Far too often ethics in coaching is given a single chapter at the end of a coaching handbook. This book puts ethics at the core of coaching not only as a professional practice but also more broadly as a social practice with concomitant social, eco-systemic responsibilities. It fulfils its promise to move away from the normal view of professional ethics with its focus solely on decision making assuming instead ethics is more than doing. Rather it is about the development of ethical maturity as a way of being. It acknowledges that ethics, in the face of persistent injustices and climate emergency, must go beyond the Eurocentric perspective of the isolated individual ‘I’ to encompass the relational ethical awareness needed to navigate cultural difference, race, the ecological crisis and under-pinning power dynamics of domination, and privilege. Importantly it provides practical models and case studies to bring the theoretical and philosophical dimensions of ethics to life. This is a very welcome publication which pushes conventional boundaries of ethics in coaching practice."Charmaine Roche. Executive Coach, Accredited Coach Supervisor. PhD researcher, Leeds Beckett University"In a decade’s time, I envision the coaching profession will be as widely-respected as any other major industry. A relentless focus on ethics is paramount to getting there. The Ethical Coaches’ Handbook is a vital step in that direction, featuring a vast compilation from many of the industry’s most respected thought leaders. Our field is grateful for this contribution!"Brian O. Underhill, Ph.D., PCC. Founder and CEO, CoachSource"A superb read and a much needed addition to the evidence-based literature on coaching! It is exciting to be part of the growth of coaching worldwide, but in order to be taken seriously as practitioners, coaches need to reflect, deepen and expand their knowledge of the ethical aspects of this fast-growing helping profession. That's why we need this book! With a wide range of essays on ethics in coaching -- technology, culture, team dynamics, feedback and more -- this book is a must-read for any coach who is committed to working ethically in an increasingly complex world. Bravo!" Jeffrey W. Hull, PhD, BCC, Executive Director, Institute of Coaching, a Harvard Medical School Affiliate "An exciting book for coaches offering a rich diversity of chapters in four sections. Ethical maturity as an integral aspect of professional development for coaches is finally being given the attention it deserves in this bumper guidebook, that offers a wealth of topics and perspectives around ethical thinking in all its complexity as a key part of everyday coaching practice. Chapters on offer include topics on ethical foundations and frameworks, chapters on ethical practices and the psychological contract within coaching, a fascinating variety of topics on ‘pushing the boundaries of conventional ethical thinking’ and a set of useful case studies. I recommend this as a practical resource for coaches at all stages of training and experience who are keen to advance their professionalism and coaching maturity."Dr Ceri M Sims. Centre for Positive Psychology, Director of Positive Minds Alliance Ltd"Ethics feeling increasing confusing in the quagmire of cultural relativism and woke self-righteous imposing one way of thinking on everyone. When coaching others, the confusion is contagious to our clients. This collection of essays help to clear the fog. It helps us do the right thing, for the right reason in the right way."Richard E. Boyatzis, PhD Distinguished University Professor, Case Western Reserve University. Author of best selling Primal Leadership and Helping People Change"Ethics is what defines coaching. Ethical practice is essential for a successful engagement between a coach and a client and other stakeholders. As it is more an art than a science. This guide is such a useful tool for coaches and clients alike and a fantastic addition to the coaching body of knowledge. With contributions from so many amazing coaches and scholars, this book is a "must read" for everyone engaged with coaching!"Magdalena Nowicka Mook. CEO, International Coaching Federation, United States"Coaches and Supervisors committed to reflective practice and their continuing development will welcome this book.The breadth of the inquiry both mirrors and supports the growing interest for a more considered approach to ethics as a profession and a more subtle ethical-intelligence as individual practitioners.Against the backdrop of the individual and societal challenges we face, how do we move beyond the guardrails of ethical codes to find new ways of being in question together?"Ant Mitchell Chair, APECS (Association for Professional Executive Coaching & Supervision)"What’s beautiful and inspiring about Ethics in Coaching is that we learn that ethics are ever-present, like the air we breathe. Adapting a key passage: In our daily quest to draw out the good and right in our relationships, our behaviors become an active demonstration of our ethics – our moral values in action."Margaret Moore, MBA, Executive coach. Co-Founder & Chair, Institute of Coaching, Founder & CEO Wellcoaches Corporation"At a time when the world is facing increasing challenges, this book offers a roadmap for the ethical questions facing coaches."Dr David Drake, The Moment Institute "The editors have brought together a broad range of experts from across the coaching field and beyond to create an authoritative and timely resource. I can see this book having a significant positive impact on the professionalism and ethics of coaching for decades to come."Prof. Christian van Nieuwerburg. Professor of Coaching and Positive Psychology, Centre for Positive Psychology and Health. Dublin / Ireland "With the rise in popularity of coaching as an intervention, especially after what the world has experienced in the last few years, it has become more important that coaching psychologists particularly get clearer about their ethics and values and boundaries. With many things getting more complex, it’s more critical to get clarity for oneself. This books serves as an important guide for practitioners, containing voices and thoughts from some of the leading thinkers in the area of coaching and coaching psychology.

Taylor & Francis The Psychological Impact of Boarding School
Book SynopsisThe Psychological Impact of Boarding School is a collection of research-based essays answering a range of questions about boarding school and its long-term impact.Through a combination of original in-depth first-person narratives as well as larger scale surveys, this book aims to fill gaps in current boarding school research and present new findings. Topics addressed include gender differences, eating behaviours, loneliness, mental health and relationships, the differences between younger and older boarders, and ex-boarder experiences of therapy. The research results highlight a key role in the age that children start boarding, the way that long-term psychological influences of friendships formed at school, and the larger role that parent and family relationships play in the psychological lives of boarders. Through these findings, the book ultimately challenges the current understanding of 'boarding school syndrome', proposing a move beyond the term and its concept.<Trade Review‘A scholarly and nuanced study on the long-term psychological impacts of British boarding schools: while some people thrive in boarding schools, for too many others the adverse psychological impacts last a lifetime.’Benedict Rattigan, author and ex-boarder at Eton'Boarding is often misunderstood and misrepresented, but this invaluable book provides a wide, and evidence-informed, analysis of the sector. Importantly, the authors allow the voices of the former pupils themselves to speak and in doing so reveal a nuanced and complex series of personal narratives. This is a book that should be read not only by those who work in boarding schools, but by anyone involved in education and child psychology.'David James, co-editor of The State of IndependenceTable of Contents1.

Despite possessing the requisite education and theoretical background, many of these individuals lack the business acumen required for success in this arena. Even their colleagues, who may be facing similar challenges with their own businesses, cannot always provide guidance. As a result, these professionals are often left wondering how they can make a living as sole practitioners in the sexuality field. It can feel like they are working in isolation, with little support or understanding from those around them. This is where the book at hand comes in. By bringing together a diverse group of successful sexuality business owners, the author has created a space for struggling or questioning business owners to receive much-needed leadership and support. Through this collaboration, the book provides hope and strategies for success, while also lending credibility to the field of sexuality. It is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to build a successful career in this complex and challenging industry. Thank you, Dr. Wadley, for bringing these individuals together to support and advance the sexuality business.’ Monique Howard, EdD, MPH, Public/Sexual Health Consultant, Nonprofit Strategist‘Dr. Wadley and his colleagues create space for sexual and mental practitioners to discuss the business components of our profession.

Book SynopsisThis innovative book introduces Group Radical Openness (GRO), a group treatment for individuals who struggle with costly and harmful overcontrol. The book opens with the background and evolution of GRO, followed by a thorough description of how to assess overcontrol. This novel group approach draws on both Group Therapy and Polyvagal Theory and encourages an entirely different way of working with this client group.

The 27-session group treatment leads the participants on a journey where they develop trust and safety with each other, show flexibility, and become more emotionally aware and expressive. Chapters feature engaging clinical examples and strikingly original exercises.This book is aimed at clinicians looking for ways to effectively treat disorders characterised by excessive self-control, such as mood disorders, eating disorders, and cerTrade Review‘This is an original, thoughtful, well-written, and practical text for mental health professionals. Based on the authors rich and extensive clinical experience, this volume describes their novel group intervention for adults who are overcontrolled. This is a client group for whom mental health professionals often struggle to offer something therapeutically meaningful as the transdiagnostic nature of their difficulties goes unaddressed. I highly recommend it to students and experienced therapists alike.’ Gary O’Reilly, Professor and Director, Doctoral Training Programme in Clinical Psychology, University College Dublin ‘In this fantastic new book, Rachel Egan and Richard Booth introduce their innovative approach to working with excessive self-control known as Group Radical Openness (GRO). The book outlines the origins of GRO, how and why it developed, some of the key ideas underpinning it, as well as a helpful and engaging session-by-session description of the group. This manual will be essential reading for any clinician, but more specifically, for those wanting to help people with excessive self-control.’ Chris Irons, PhD, Director of Balanced Minds, co-author of The Compassionate Mind Workbook ‘Richard and Rachel's book sets out their humane and practical approach towards helping people whose lives are negatively affected by overcontrol. Working in a specialist personality disorder service, we have found GRO invaluable as an accessible and acceptable treatment for a highly distressed group of people. I can highly recommend this book to clinicians working with people who suffer problems related to overcontrol.’ Tim Agnew, MBChB, FRCPsych, Consultant Psychiatrist NHS Scotland, Chair of the Scottish Personality Disorder Network‘This book is an outstanding addition to clinical care. The sessions in GRO are thoughtful and, in many cases, highly original. The most impressive part is how Richard and Rachel structure the programme, resulting in the participants becoming more empowered as the group progresses, and taking ownership of their therapy. In my own work with Trauma, I see how GRO would be invaluable to those who are overcontrolled and embarking on a healing journey.’ Deirdre Fay, MSW, author of Becoming Safely Embodied and Attachment Based Yoga & Meditation for Trauma‘Group Radical Openness (GRO) has allowed us to provide treatment for men in our service who are overcontrolled. The personal testimonies of the men who have completed GRO showed how much they gained from participating in the programme. They found that the content increased their personal insight and resulted in many of them becoming more flexible, more open to emotion, and more connected with others.

Taylor & Francis Sandtray Applications to Trauma Therapy
Book SynopsisSandtray Applications to Trauma Therapy presents the theory behind and the practicalities of using sandtray therapy in treatment with traumatized patients, both children and adults.The book begins with a review of the most frequently asked questions that professionals ask themselves when using the sandtray. It then details the Barudy and Dantagnan model of trauma therapy to understand and integrate sandtray therapy with patients who have suffered trauma. Chapters describe the importance of neuroaffective communication, directive and non-directive working methodologies, and how to use the technique in regulation, empowerment, and resilient integration of trauma. A featured chapter by the second author, Dr. Raffael Benito, presents the neurobiology behind sandtray therapy, outlining step by step what happens in the brain of a patient during a sandtray session. Transcripts of clinical cases, sandtray images, and true client stories are integrated throughout.This Trade Review‘Is a wonderful book that will illuminate practitioners, particularly those working with traumatised children and adolescents, in their task of helping these young people understand and overcome their traumatic experiences, build resilience and progress through a healthier, long-term developmental path in their lives. One of the outstanding strengths of the present book is that it is rooted in a secure base of more than one hundred years of child and adolescent mental health, from which it explores and digs deeply into the therapeutic applications of the sandtray technique, whilst integrating the domains of trauma, resilience, parental skills, personal development and neuroscience, within a framework of attachment-based thinking and practice.’ Arturo Ezquerro is a London-based consultant psychiatrist, psychoanalytic psychotherapist, and group analyst.‘The risk is that upon discovering the existence of therapeutic techniques as attractive and promising as the sandtray, they are applied with the illusion that these by themselves will be sufficient, neglecting the care that should be taken to apply, contextualize and integrate them in a process that is relational, affectively binding, empathic and mentalizing between therapist and patient. Thanks to their human quality, their extensive training and their rich clinical experience, the authors have the skills and sufficient authority to affirm that Traumatherapy is the ideal scenario that guarantees the effective and respectful application of the sandtray technique, applying it in the moment and adapting it to the uniqueness of each child or adolescent. The organization of the contents to work on in each block, following the neurosequential principle, is the best guarantee so that the therapeutic impact of using the sandtray keeps all its meaning and effectiveness.’ Jorge Barudy is a neuropsychiatrist, psychotherapist, family therapist, and trainer of the EFTA (European Association of Family Therapy).
