Cognella, Inc Healthy Aging in Action: Roles, Functions, and
Book SynopsisHealthy Aging in Action: Roles, Functions, and the Wisdom of Elders helps readers gain a deeper understanding of what it means to age healthfully throughout the lifespan, but especially during the later stages of life when new identities, roles, functions, and responsibilities take precedent, not only for personal satisfaction, but to bolster the family and community.The book explores the experiences and meaning of later life, especially as they relate to maintaining a sense of productivity and life satisfaction. Opening chapters examine what it means to age healthfully and successfully and explore the puzzling evolutionary question of why elderly people even exist since they they can no longer produce children who are necessary for the continuation of our species. Students learn about the evolution of longevity, the marked difference between growing old and feeling old, and models to help us better understand the continued existence of the elderly. Additional chapters address grandparents and their roles and function in the family; grandparenting styles; challenges, myths, and misconceptions about elderly caregivers, and more. Closing chapters cover the attitudes and abilities of extraordinary grandparents and musings on the future of healthy aging.Engaging and enlightening, Healthy Aging in Action is an ideal supplementary text for courses in psychology, family studies, gerontology, human services, counseling, human development, health professions, and related field. It is intended to augment texts on aging that cover the classic theories, review standard concepts, and cover the comprehensive life cycle.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Research Handbook on Mental Health Policy
Book SynopsisThis Research Handbook is an essential guide to the design and use of research in mental health policy from a global perspective. It focuses on public mental health, as well as quasi-public and private policies in nations with significant private sectors.Expert contributors explore key mental health policies pertinent to psychiatric treatment and care, as well as those concerned with substance abusers and forensic patients. Organised into five parts, the Research Handbook addresses a wide array of mental health questions involving particular interventions and policies, ranging from psychiatric deinstitutionalization to system building, mental health law, and the human rights of mental patients. In addition, it considers the pros and cons of both established and emerging research methodologies, including geographic information systems and predictive analytics, and ways that these can be effectively integrated with policy making systems, along with their political, economic, and socio-cultural environments.This authoritative Research Handbook will be a key resource for scholars and students of mental health policy, social policy and welfare states. It will also be beneficial for policymakers and practitioners involved in public and private mental health programs.Trade Review‘One of the most important lessons of six decades of community mental health practice is that a shelf full of evidence-based intervention manuals does you little good without quality mental health policy to put them into action. Yet the empirical study of mental health policy has lagged far behind the study of interventions. This book constitutes a giant step toward closing the gap.This book has numerous virtues. The international perspective will be a valuable corrective for those whose view of mental health policy is limited to their own nation, which tends to be a particular problem in the United States. Readers will find the specific research topics, dissemination and implementation of services and the sociology of stigma, to be directly applicable to their practice. Perhaps the most important contribution of the book is its grasp of the complex nature of mental health policy research, which takes as its subject a system involving numerous interactions, nonlinearities and feedback loops, while playing out in an arena that affects millions of lives. Professor Hudson is uniquely qualified to grapple with this complexity, having been at the forefront of applying systems science to community mental health for three decades.Every mental health system should own at least one copy of the Research Handbook on Mental Health Policy, and preferably several.’ -- Keith Warren, The Ohio State University, USTable of ContentsContents: Preface xiv PART I INTRODUCTION 1 Introduction to the Research Handbook on Mental Health Policy 2 Christopher G.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Counselling in Terminal Care and Bereavement
Book SynopsisThe book covers both caring for the terminally ill and the 'actual' bereavement, thus providing guidance on the whole process of counselling patients and their families. Case studies include examples from cancer, AIDS, suicide , murder and fatal accidents. Problems counsellors may face in their work are discussed and a chapter is devoted to the needs of the counsellor themselves.Trade Review'All nurses will be familiar with many of the case histories with which the book is well illustrated, many which relate directly to the environment of the practice nurse ... Although the book focuses on the counselling needed by the patient and family at times of death and bereavement many of the principles discussed and the techniques which are used have an enormous value in other circumstances such as following attempted suicide, alcohol abuse, depression, aggression or chronic anxiety. It is in these areas that the book may be of even greater use to the practice nurse.' Practice Nurse. ' "Thoughtful and practical" is how the publisher describes this book by three authors who have made a massive contribution to the development of contemporary bereavement care. This is a fair assessment. This book is written in a straightforward language, with many case studies which provide practical illustrations of approaches, but it retains a sense of the complexity of human beings and attempts to set any presumptions offered within a framework of recognising diversity.'

John Wiley & Sons Inc The Mystical Power of Person-Centred Therapy:
Book SynopsisBrian Thorne?s latest book is likely to cause something of a furore in the counselling and psychotherapy world and more particularly among person-centred practitioners and pastoral counsellors. ?The Mystical Power of Person-Centred Therapy? takes the later work of Carl Rogers with the utmost seriousness and, as a result, moves into unexpected and perhaps, for some, dangerously controversial terrain. Rogers discovered towards the end of his life that he had greatly underestimated both the mystical quality of the therapeutic process and the power of the person-centred approach to give access to the spiritual dimension of experience. Professor Thorne takes this concept further and explores the implications of regarding person-centred therapy as an essentially spiritual discipline. The outcome is a book which not only provides new and startling challenges for therapists of all orientations but also suggests that the person-centred way of being may have a major contribution to make to the resolution of some of humanity?s seemingly intractable problems. It should appeal not only to therapists but also to clergy and all those concerned with the spiritual evolution of humanity. In the light of the events of September 11th 2001 and their aftermath such a book could not come at a more opportune time.Table of ContentsPrologue. Person-centred Therapy Since Carl Rogers. The Human Person. Hope or Despair? The Therapeutic Relationship. Professional Contract or existential Encounter. The Person-centred Therapist as Secular Priest and prophet. The Spiritual Discipline of The Person-centred Therapist. Person-centred Therapy. A key to The Resolution of Three Intractable Conflicts. The use of Self. Intimacy and Sexuality. 'Alive Alive'.

Oxford University Press ACT in Steps A Transdiagnostic Manual for Learning Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Book SynopsisACT in Steps will help new ACT therapists (professionals and graduate students) more effectively deliver ACT in their applied work.Trade ReviewThis manual targets a central challenge of ACT * how to move from learning about the therapy to actually doing itand hits its mark. It is accessible and concise, offering a session-by-session guide through the therapy from beginning to end, including initial evaluation, ongoing assessment and between-session homework. The authors provide just the right balance of explanation and practical how-to's needed to set ACT novices on a solid path to competency. In short, it is a perfect answer to, "But, how do I actually do the therapy?" For anyone interested in learning to do ACThere is your guide." Darrah Westrup, PhD, author of Advanced ACT: An Experienced Practitioner's Guide to Optimizing Delivery, co-author of ACT for the Treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder & Trauma-related problems, The Mindful Couple, and Learning ACT for Group Treatment *Wow! What a useful and clear guide to starting out in ACT! I wish I'd had this book when I was an ACT newbie * would have saved me so much anxiety, confusion and self-doubt. (And it also would have saved my clients from so many of the common beginners' mistakes I repeatedly made!) Full of wisdom and packed with practical strategies, I can highly recommend this book for any therapist or counselor who's early on in their ACT journey." Russ Harris, author of The Happiness Trap *The authors are right: I have always said that the best way to begin actually doing ACT (after experiential contact with it and exposure to its principles) is to follow a step by step manual with several cases. That ensures you will practice all aspects of the approach and it distills the learning process down to smaller bits that are easier to handle. There are other beginning ACT manuals out there but this may now be my favorite. Thorough and yet simple, this well-written and wise volume gently pushes you forward to learn ACT, one step at a time. Highly recommended." * Steven C.
