The University of Chicago Press Damaged Parents
Book SynopsisMost of us are unaware of child neglect even when we are witnessing it. . . . Neglect is a matter of things undone, of inaction compounded by indifference. Since it goes on at home, it is a very private sin. . . . It is little wonder that most of the public is unaware of poor child caring. Its ignorance is even greater as to how widespread the problem is. But this is not a blissful ignorance. The public may not want to attend to child neglect, but it lives with the distortions of human personality that are left in its wake.from chapter 1 of Damaged Parents Norman Polansky and his colleagues have produced a truly remarkable book. . . . One of the consequences of [the] relative invisibility of child neglect is that we also know less about it. But this book will help to correct that for it contains reports of findings from two systematic efforts to define, measure, classify, and understand child neglect.Thomas M. Young, Social Service Review

John Wiley & Sons Inc The First Session with Substance Abusers
Book SynopsisIt is during the critical first session with substance abusers that clinicians have the first, and all too often the last, opportunity to break through the wall of denial and create an atmosphere of trust that is so crucial to changing behavior. Written by a father-daughter team of clinical psychologists, The First Session with Substance Abusers outlines a proven plan for conducting an initial session that can uncover substance abuse problems with clients no matter how resistant or manipulative they may be. Applying the methods outlined in this book, psychologists and health professionals can use the first session to assess and evaluate the depth and duration of the substance abuse problem and motivate the client to begin the most appropriate form of treatment.Trade Review"Therapists may have failed to detect underlying addictions because they had no compelling model for assessment and treatment. Cummings and Cummings illuminate this previously murky area and provide an easy-to-follow beacon for clinicians of all persuasions. My highest recommAndation." (Jeffrey K. Zeig, director, The Milton H. Erickson Foundation) "Full of insights and pearls of clinical wisdom. The Cummings' experience spans over five decades-they have seen trAnds come and go, and as a result they have rather solid information as to what truly works. Also, since a substantial number of clients seen in psychotherapy settings have substance abuse problems unknown to the therapist, the effective and modern clinician cannot afford not to have this book nearby." (J. Lawrence Thomas, neuropsychologist, New York University Medical Center, and author of Do You Have Attention Deficit Disorder?) "The First Session with Substance Abusers is a book built on the authors' combined 50 years of rich clinical experience. The father-daughter team of Drs. Nick and Janet Cummings have written a book full of practical suggestions, anecdotes, stories, and sage perceptions. For all of those working in the field of substance abuse treatment, this book provides a clear point of view and specific ideas about ways to carry out the challenging task of treating substance abuse." (Simon H. Budman, president, Innovative Training Systems, Inc., and assistant professor, Harvard Medical School and staff, Children's Hospital, Boston) "Drs. Cummings skillfully describe the biopsychosocial ramifications of substance abuse. Anyone who treats substance abusers but is not fully familiar with the facts that this book so eloquently documents is bound to bypass significant assessment-treatment processes-to the detriment of their patients and themselves." (Arnold A. Lazarus, distinguished professor emeritus of psychology, Rutgers University) "This book is a worthwhile addition to the book shelves of addiction counsellors and health professionals in general." (Addiction Today, September 2001)Table of ContentsForeword, Jeanne Albronda Heaton. Introduction. Who Is the Substance Abuser? Presenting Problems: Different Tugs from Different Drugs.

American Psychological Association Affirmative Counseling and Psychological Practice
Book Synopsis This clinical guide reviews theory-based strategies for affirmative, competent practice with transgender and gender nonconforming clients of different ages, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and religious backgrounds. Readers will learn how to develop collaborative, client-driven partnerships to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes. Less than 30% of psychologists report familiarity with transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) clients'' needs. The clients, in turn, report a lack of support in their gender journeys. There is clearly a large gap in knowledge, skill, and competence in this area of practice. This clinical guide aims to fill that gap by providing mental health practitioners with an affirmative approach that emphasizes a collaborative partnership guided by client-driven goals. An expert panel of contributors teaches readers strategies for working with a diverse array of TGNC clients, including adolescents, older adults, parents, and people of color.Trade ReviewWinner, Division 44 Distinguished Book Award "This book is long overdue and very much needed by mental health professionals. Trans and gender-expansive people have historically been mistreated, in both senses of the word, when they have sought counseling. Singh and dickey's collection is invaluable for offering a comprehensive overview of how therapists can and must support their trans clients and for addressing the experiences of trans populations often overlooked or underrepresented in other works — nonbinary trans people, trans people of color, trans people of faith, and older trans people." —Genny Beemyn, PhD, coauthor of The Lives of Transgender People "This must-own resource for all mental health professionals and educators covers the cutting edge in trans and gender nonconforming issues and intersectionality from birth to old age. Chapters on children; ethics; legal issues; and spirituality, faith, and religion expand our knowledge and understanding." —Louise Douce, PhD, former Assistant Vice President, Office of Student Life, Ohio State University, Columbus "An up-to-date, comprehensive guide to foster mental health and resilience among transgender and gender nonconforming youth, adults, and their families. Truly affirmative of the full spectrum of diversity in gender identity and expression." —Walter Bockting, PhD, Codirector, Program for the Study of LGBT Health, New York State Psychiatric Institute "A broadly relevant, timely, and accessible resource for mental health providers (MHPs) of various disciplines, including psychology, counseling, and social work." —PsycCRITIQUESTable of ContentsContributors Preface Introduction Gender and Sexual Orientation Diversity Within the TGNC Community by Sand C.

Cognella, Inc The End of Social Work: A Defense of the Social
Book SynopsisThe End of Social Work: A Defense of the Social Worker in Times of Transformation explores the deeply flawed status quo of the social work profession. Its message is clear: it is not acceptable for social workers to labor under intolerable working conditions and financial strain because they work with the poor and oppressed. Steve Burghardt addresses why social workers no longer have the income and status once shared with nurses and teachers. He addresses the leadership failures that cause social workers to be blamed for not ending poverty yet expected to handle burnout through self-care rather than collective action. He looks beyond nostrums of social justice to the indifference to systemic racism in the profession's journals and programs and explores the damage caused by substituting individuated measures of unvalidated competencies for grounded wisdom in practice. It is thus no accident that a profession committing to "care for everyone" undermines the herculean work that so many social workers do on behalf of the poor, marginalized, and oppressed. Situating the work in the crises of 2020, Burghardt ends with a proposed call to action directed at a transformed profession. Such a campaign would be situated within the national struggles for racial justice, climate change, and economic equality so that social work and social workers regain their legitimacy as authentic advocates fighting alongside the poor and oppressed—and doing so for themselves as well. A rallying cry for social work itself, The End of Social Work is an ideal resource for social work programs and practicing social workers driven to enact meaningful change.Trade ReviewThe End of Social Work is a tough love book and as such can be a difficult, challenging read…Burghardt is well aware of the important contributions of social workers but sometimes one needs to be provocative to 'force a conversation.' For some of us, this book will provide needed sustenance, affirm much of what we have been thinking, and urge us to continue. Reading this book should not be viewed as something to check off one's social change list. We need to debate the ideas and analyses that Steve has set forth, and then we need to collectively act in ways that address the conditions he documents." —From the Foreword by Dr. Cheryl Hyde, Associate Professor, Temple University School of Social Work"Steve Burghardt has written a truth bomb, putting in words the unspoken experiences of so many. In doing so, he gives us an X-ray of our beloved, noble profession and where healing is needed. This book is not literary cotton candy, but these aren't times for fluff. Our profession is as needed as ever and if we want to have maximum impact, we need to examine our internal challenges if we're going to take on the external ones." —Dr. Linda Lausell Bryant, LCSW, Ph.D., Clinical Associate Professor, Katherine and Howard Aibel Executive-in-Residence, NYU Silver School of Social Work"Dr. Burghardt's book is a clarion call to reclaim the roots of the social work profession to be advocates and to engage in social change for the marginalized, oppressed, and most vulnerable in our society. Social work has to up its game on educating and training social workers especially in the areas of racial and economic inequality. This book speaks truth to power and urges the profession to walk the walk and talk the talk. He writes with the fierce urgency of now and connects to the sacredness of the work and all the people who have the audacity to pursue a career to be change agents." —Dr. Barbara Milton, LCSW, Ph.D., New Jersey 2014 NASW Social Worker of the Year, Clinical Social Worker, Host of the Dr. Milton's Social Work Show
