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.

Taylor & Francis Ltd A Therapists Guide to Consensual Nonmonogamy
Book SynopsisConsensual nonmonogamy (CNM) means that all partners in a relationship consent to expanded monogamy or polyamory. 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. A joy to read, this book is packed with well-organized and approachable information that Dr. Orion supports seamlessly with interesting research and case studies. The Therapist’s Guide to Consensual Non-Monogamy would be useful for counselors previously unaware of CNM who want a basic understanding, therapists just beginning to explore working with clients in CNM relationships, and more experienced practitioners who already serve CNM clients and wish to hone their skills."Elisabeth Sheff, author of The Polyamorists Next Door, Stories from the Polycule, and When Someone You Love is Polyamorous.

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. Co-author, The Color Bind: Talking (and Not Talking) About Race at Work"Yasmine J. Awais and Daniel Blausey have written an art therapy supervision text, much needed in art therapy. The book offers guidance to supervisees and supervisors to contextualize supervision as a conscious and thoughtful experience, one that is imbedded in a cultural context exploring theories of social and cultural differences. Focusing on mentorship, leadership, cultural humility and mutual learning, the book offers various anecdotal examples of how supervision is a complex process when issues of race, class, gender, sexuality and disability intersect. Of particular importance, they stress, is a critical understanding of ethical and legal responsibility of art therapists when involved in dual relationships, confidentially, and art work created in the art therapeutic context. Theirs is a timely book." Savneet Talwar, Professor, Masters of Arts in Art Therapy and Counseling, School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Author, Art Therapy for Social Justice: Radical Intersections"Clearly built upon their 'mutually supportive supervisory alliance', Yasmine Awais and Daniel Blausey provide for us–through valuable historical and theoretical perspectives, and thought-provoking personal reflections and narratives–insights into the identity-enhancing, complex interrelationship between the supervisor and supervisee; and they do so with deftness and respect.

Co-Editor, The Wiley Handbook of Art Therapy"With the partnership of these authors, their shared vision of supervision as a collaborative professional growth relationship, and its organization of chapters highlighting supervisor and supervisee perspectives, this text is gift to the profession of art therapy. The most important contributions are the chapters devoted to theoretical constructs which refuse to let cultural identity and lived experiences remain unacknowledged in the development of art therapists and art therapists-in-training. Indeed, addressing the difficult work and meaningful opportunities inherent in working with difference is the cornerstone of the book, and is no less than imperative within the context of contemporary mental health services and the building of therapeutic relationships."Gaelynn P.

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."
