Taylor & Francis Ltd The Practical Pain Management Handbook: The
Book SynopsisThe successful management of chronic pain remains an elusive goal. As more complex diagnostic and intervention procedures become available, patients and clinicians alike have ever-greater expectations of banishing the problem of pain altogether. Unfortunately this hope is rarely fulfilled and the frustration experienced by everyone affected by chronic pain has remained more or less the same over the last two or three decades. Based on over 40 years' of experience and research The Practical Pain Management Handbook is a unique resource specifically designed for therapists involved in running Pain Management Programmes (PMPs). This engaging and effective handbook includes: intensive inpatient and extended outpatient programmes all of which are at least 25 hours in length; interactive materials designed to be used to form the basis of group discussion. Where there is a question in the text the suggested answer material is provided; assignments and tasks that can be used as homework or group session exercises; both standard Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) technologies as both have been found to be valuable in PMPs. The handbook is organised into sections to fit a useful logical sequence but can be adapted to suit your preference.Table of ContentsThe successful management of chronic pain remains an elusive goal.

Taylor & Francis Ltd On the Frontline with Voices: A Grassroots
Book SynopsisThis is a jargon-free, user-friendly resource for voice-hearers and their carers, as well as the clinicians and groups who support them both. It offers a new and practical way of looking at voice-hearing as well as a host of practical strategies to assist in recovery. The resource is built around three core sections. Each of the sections speaks directly to voice-hearers, clinicians and carers, in turn. The style and content addresses each group's individual needs in terms appropriate to them and schools them in how to deal with voices from their particular perspective. The core aim is to provide these three groups with practical techniques they can use on a daily basis. The resource offers a proactive, practical and client-centred framework that is designed to reduce anxiety and increase the likelihood of learning new ways to deal with voices. Keith Butler is a consultant clinical psychologist and an associate fellow of the BPS (British Psychological Society). He was a key player in the development of the Buckinghamshire Early Intervention Service (BEIS) and occupied the position of clinical lead in the BEIS for its first 6 years up to his retirement at the end of 2010.Trade Review"The book incorporates recent and novel additions to theory and practice in the treatment of auditory hallucinations by focusing on the interpersonal relationship between voice hearer and the voices, in particular encouraging use of ‘dialogue’ to establish a more empowered and compassionate relationship with voices. This more experiential/interpersonal approach is in my view a strength of this resource." — Dr Tom Barker, Chartered Clinical Psychologist"I would recommend this book to someone in any of the three target groups, as I think that it has very useful ways of thinking about what is actually not an uncommon problem in general practice and the community, as well as in the inpatient setting. For each group, maybe especially the carer group it has some really interesting insights into the problems and challenges they face, and would be useful for a carer, but also for a clinician to read and consider. It could potentially be a book which might change clinical practice. The strengths of this book are several and considerable, and include the attractive writing style, the fascinating and clinically useful content, and the ability to use the book and approach to voice hearing with both clients and carers. The author has thought very hard about his intended audience and has produced a book which speaks to all three main groups who are concerned with voice hearing: The voice-hearers themselves; their families and carers, and their clinicians. I admire the principle behind the idea, the separate sections targeted at each group are good and it’s a sensible idea to write in a slightly different tone and for the somewhat different perspectives of these three groups, whilst still maintaining the integrity of keeping these sections all in the same book, particularly in the interests of transparency, so any group could with ease look at how they are being portrayed and represented to the other group and to see that the message they are being given is in fact consistent with that being given to the other groups." — Highly Commended in Health and Social Care in the 2016 BMA Medical Book AwardsTable of Contents1: Approaching the problem of voices; 2: For voice-hearers; 3: For clinicians; 4: For carers and family; 5: In conclusion

Waterside Press Journey to Release: Counselling in a UK Prison
Book SynopsisJourney to Release is an account of Mo Smith's extensive experience counselling and co-ordinating a counselling service inside `HM Prison X'. The book gives a history of the service and looks at what is involved in a project of this kind, making it a `must' for prison professionals and volunteers everywhere. It also provides an insight into the running of an `embedded' prison counselling service and the clients who use it. A first-hand account, it will be of considerable interest to anyone wishing to learn about the subject, whether as an individual, prison professional, volunteer/potential volunteer, or counselling organizer/provider (including from external agencies). Once a prisoner is released from HMP X there is no further contact so the authors emphasise the importance of counselling that survives the prison setting and thus helps to reduce crime in the future. The book will also be of interest to counsellors and volunteers in a range of other settings in the UK and beyond. Based on practical experience, it focuses wholly on counselling as such (rather, e.g. than psychology/mental health-led aspects, intervention, assessment). An invaluable explanation of the `nuts and bolts' of counselling in prison. Examines the challenges facing counsellors working with incarcerated clients. Includes disguised prisoner histories. Attractive easy-to-read format. With contributions from Governors, other staff, counsellors and clients.Trade Review`The Counselling Service at HMP X was something I was very proud of while I was Governor. This book tells you all about it'- Michael Wood, Former Governor; `A hugely informative work'- Neil Thomas, Prison Governor; 'Highly recommended throughout the service for any person wishing to learn about the subject in more detail whether as an interested individual reader or a criminologist... We found the book very easy to read and most thought-provoking.'-- Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers.Table of ContentsAbout the authors; The prison; Forewords by the Governors; Introduction; 1.Why Counsel in Prison?; 2.Safeguards; 3.Providing a Service; 4.Our Clients; 5.Our Counsellors; 6.Ways of Working; 7.Historic Abuse; 8.Life Inside; 9.The Outside; Afterword: Looking Ahead; Index.

PCCS Books Our Encounters with Stalking
Book SynopsisPart of the PCCS Books `Our Encounters With...' Series, this is a powerful testimony of the destructive, sometimes fatal, effects of stalking on its victims. With an introduction by the author Peter James, himself a victim of stalking, the book foregrounds the experiences of those who have been (and are still being) stalked. It offers a unique insight into the commonalities of experience and a platform where people who have, in many cases, been driven into silence and anonymity are able to write openly and angrily about their battles to stay sane and re-establish a life free from their persecutor. The book is in three main sections: Professional and third sector; the police and the courts; first-person accounts of the experience of being stalked, its impact on the victims and those around them. The book concludes with a summary of the main themes and conclusions, a reflection on some of the editorial conversations between the editors of the book, and a list of helpful resources and information.

PCCS Books Counselling, Class and Politics: Undeclared
Book SynopsisAnne's motivation for writing Counselling, Class and Politics back in 1996, was `to persuade readers to the view that politics and political ideas matter in counselling'. This new edition of the work contains a wide range of commentaries from practioners working in the world of counselling today, who all argue that Anne's message is as relevant today as it has always been. So too is driving belief of the author that counselling training, regulation and awareness in general too often fails to acknowledge the political environment that practitioners and their clients inhabit and its influence on the counselling relationship. Anne's book, accessible, unashamedly unapologetic and searching in the questions it asks of readers, is still a vibrant, challenging text for any student, practitioner or trainer today.Trade Review`... one gasp of fresh air amid the stifling pollution of this changing world... The book's challenging but ultimately hopeful message is as important now as when it was first published, perhaps more so. Inhale deeply.' - Andy Rogers, counselling service co-ordinator in further and higher education; `I have frequently heard class dismissed as no longer important... I find class as relevant today as I did in the 1990s. This new edition of Anne Kearney's book has a major contribution to make to the debate.' - Liz Ballinger, counselling MA programme director, University of ManchesterTable of ContentsForeword to second edition: Anne Kearney's family, Introduction to second edition: Gillian Proctor Commentaries by:Jacqueline Roy, Clare Slaney, Elizabeth Cotton, Gillian Roberts, Liz Ballinger, Jo Titchmarsh, Katy Woodger, Andy Rogers Foreword to first edition: Ann Roberts and Pauline Edwards Introduction Chapter 1 Counselling and ideology Chapter 2 Social stratification Chapter 3 Social class and counselling Chapter 4 Poverty, class and counselling Chapter 5 Political socialisation and counselling Chapter 6 Rogerian counselling and politics Chapter 7 The role of the counsellor: whose side are we on?

PCCS Books Living Well and Dying Well: Tales of counselling
Book SynopsisOlder people rarely feature in counselling literature, and the very old barely at all. Helen Kewell seeks to address this often overlooked topic with a vibrant collection of resonant case studies describing her encounters with some of the old and very old clients with whom she has worked as a counsellor. Woven into these accounts are her personal reflections on how working with these clients has changed her and contributed to her own growth as a counsellor and as a human being. She also describes the theoretical and philosophical works that have influenced her practice - looking to humanistic, existentialist and person-centred approaches to guide her in this largely uncharted territory. Among the people described in this book, we meet Maggie, for whom death is very close and whose day-to-day experiencing is insular, private and diminished to one room and a few hours of wakefulness. We meet Kate, for whom reawakened feelings from long ago and the challenge to strongly held beliefs prove too much to face. We meet Bobby, who valiantly engages in reassessing and reconstructing his life narrative and through this finds some release, and Susan, who finds herself facing life transitions much earlier than expected and learns to transcend her circumstances and find a new way of living. And last, we meet Tom who, despite the loss of all he holds dear, manages also to transcend his circumstances and face death on his own terms. Helen's aim in this book is to use story-telling about real people living real lives to inspire others to consider this work as possible, necessary and meaningful. Who is this book for?The book will appeal to practising counsellor and psychotherapists, particularly those from humanistic traditions and specialising in bereavement and palliative care settings, and more widely to anyone - professionals and care workers alike - working with elderly people in a caring or therapeutic capacity, in the residential and nursing care sectors and the voluntary sector. It will also be of interest to trainee counsellors, general and mental health nurses, occupational therapists and GPs, and to trainers.Trade Review`Helen's approach to counselling older adults is humanising, compassionate, and relationally deep. This unique text brings to life the reality and the potential of working with this client group. An invaluable read for counsellors and psychotherapists working in this field.'

Free Association Books Understanding the Depressions: A Companion for
Book SynopsisWe all share identical properties that mark us out as human beings. Even so, every person is unique: we are not clones. It’s the same with depression - or perhaps more properly the depressions (plural) – because they manifest in so many different ways and under different circumstances yet in essence remain the same. This is a simple enough observation, yet there appears to be little understanding of the condition – or conditions - among the general public, who tend to lump together all states of ‘feeling miserable’ into something to be snapped out of, a disease category to be treated medically, or a feebleness of personality to be disapproved of and dismissed. In this new title from Wyn Bramley, many different views on causation and treatment are explored. The emphasis is on real people’s experiences from all aspects of the depressions – sufferers, helpers, family and friends – not a self-help work but an all-encompassing aid to understanding this common condition.

The relationally-oriented counsellor takes the attitude that in the meeting between counsellor and client lie opportunities for learning and discovery by both participants. The question of self-insight is taken up and discussed in regard to the relation between the professional and personal. The counselling meeting is understood as inherently relational and mutual in which both counsellor and client are open to discovery.

River Publishers The Maintenance Partnership Relationship
Book SynopsisThis book''s purpose is to discover and review the many relationships that maintenance will need to foster daily if it is to become best in class. Success in any walk of life is dependent on partner relationships. A successful marriage is based on a relationship in which both partners collectively embrace their similarities, whilst they collaborate to use each other''s strengths to overcome weaknesses and bridge their differences. Where teams are concerned, there will be many partner relationships that will need to be navigated and managed separately to achieve a defined and unified level of success.On any single day, a maintainer must interact multiple times with internal and external resource partners to perform their job. To function professionally a maintenance department must set up and manage multiple partnerships on a continual basis. Partnerships are relationships that live or die based on an understanding of the input and output communications and tangible deliverables required from both sides to make quality management decisions and enable each partner to consistently deliver on their performance mandate at minimum cost.Building healthy business partner relationships allows both partners to state their respective points of viewand teaches us not to make assumptions on each other's behalf. Understanding, measuring and tracking what we control lets us objectively define how and where the partnership must work together to better manage and resolve issues that are out of our control, or those we must simply manage.
