Book SynopsisThe New York Times bestselling author of the classic The Care of the Soul addresses the needs of those providing soul care to others—therapists, psychiatrists, ministers, spiritual directors, teachers, and even friends—sharing his insights for incorporating a spiritual or soulful dimension into their work and practices.Soul Therapy is the culmination of Thomas Moore’s work. In his previous acclaimed books, he explored the soul in important areas of our lives—work, sex, marriage, family, religion, and aging. In this wise guide, he now returns to his core vocation: teaching practitioners—therapists, psychiatrists, ministers, spiritual directors, and others—how to offer soul care to those they assist.A training manual infused with a lifetime’s worth of wisdom, Soul Therapy is divided into five sections: What therapy or “soul care” is and how it works; What soul work is required of the helper to be able to address the needs of others; How to access and move forward the spiritual dimension; How to apply this work to specific areas, such as work, marriage, parenting, or teaching; How to deal with other issues that arise, such as developing a therapeutic style, dealing with one’s shadow, and the need for self-care. Profound yet practical, enlightened yet grounded in real-world experience, Soul Therapy will become a definitive resource for caregivers and practitioners for years to come.

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.

Oxford University Press Inc Counseling Persons with Parkinsons Disease
Book SynopsisWhat is it like to live with a chronic illness? How can counselors support those living with one? Allan Hugh Cole Jr. offers answers to these two questions and so many more in Counseling Persons with Parkinson''s Disease. In ten succinct chapters, Cole offers a glimpse into life with Parkinson''s and presents an insightful approach to counseling someone living with a chronic illness. Cole was diagnosed with Parkinson''s Disease in 2016, and--though it hardly happened overnight--he has since discovered a new passion and drive for life. A teacher of social workers and counselors for many years, Cole has unique insight into chronic illness and the care required to help someone diagnosed with one. He delves into the importance of accepting a chronic illness and how this can create an opportunity for personal transformation, newfound meaning, and rejuvenated purpose. In addition to emphasizing the importance of self-reflection, he also offers evidence-based approaches to counseling. Cole''s approaches to counseling draw on task-centered social work practice. Throughout the book, he engages with five purposeful actions tied to principles of constructivism, Aristotelian thought, American pragmatism, and theories of interpretation (hermeneutics). At once informative, realistic, humorous, and hopeful, this is a thoughtful guide for clinicians who give counsel, educators who teach counseling, people supporting someone else, and anyone living with a chronic illness.Trade ReviewThis book provides a thoughtful balance between personal narrative and clinical guidance on how to help someone through the losses associated with Parkinson's disease. * T. A. Babb, CHOICE *This book provides a comprehensive introduction to Parkinson's disease (PD) and is a detailed manual for Loss-Based Counseling (LBC) for working with persons with Parkinson's disease (PwP). [It] also includes powerful, inspiring, and extremely informative first-person accounts of Dr. Cole's personal journey following his diagnosis of young-onset (i.e., <50 years of age) PD in late 2016. The book alternates between chapters that provide these personal accounts and chapters that provide the foundations and details of LBC. Dr. Cole's unique, dual perspectives as a social work educator and as a PwP make this book exceptionally well-suited for preparing social work professionals to assist people with PD or other chronic and progressive illness as they cope with a series of life-altering losses. * Namkee G. Choi, Steve Hicks School of Social Work University of Texas at Austin, Journal of Gerontological Social Work *In this unique and enlightening book, Professor Allan Cole tells his story of life with young-onset Parkinson's disease while guiding counselors on how best to understand, support, and empower persons living with this illness. His adept knowledge of both Parkinson's and counseling approaches, paired with his honesty, vulnerability, strength, and hope, models work in the health humanities at its best. I highly recommend this book to physicians, counselors, persons living with Parkinson's, and to those who offer them support and care. * Bastiaan R. Bloem, M.D., Ph.D., Medical Director, Department of Neurology at Radbound University Medical Center, Nijmegen, Netherlands *Inspired by decades of existential searching and emotional learning, Allan Cole turns inward as he reflects on the meaning of a new diagnosis for him, Parkinson's disease, and what it might mean for others as well. This book is as personal as it is informative. More than a pathography, readers will learn the latest information on this disease as well as effective strategies for counseling people with it. It is insightful, heart-breaking, authentic, and hopeful. * Nathan Carlin, Ph.D, Samuel Karff Chair and Professor at McGovern Medical School in Houston, Texas *Dr. Allan Cole has written a poignant first-person account of living with Parkinson's full of intimacy and insight. His personal story and professional wisdom as a social worker combine to offer the reader an unprecedented guide through the life of a person with Parkinson's (PwP). This book should be essential reading for all counselors and caregivers wishing to support PwP. The personal narrative is inspirational and pulls you directly into the lived experience of a young man facing a new diagnosis and trying to create meaning for himself and his family. Cole then introduces us to a new short-term counseling approach, which is both evidence-based and deeply personal. This book is hard to put down, beautifully written and full of vulnerability, humor, and wisdom. I will be recommending this book to all of my staff and students. * Barbara L. Jones, PhD, MSW, FNAP, Chair, Department of Health Social Work, Dell Medical School, The University of Texas at Austin *A distinct, practical, and philosophically sound approach to counseling those with Parkinson's disease. As a seasoned teacher of counselors who also lives with Parkinson's, Allan Cole knows firsthand of what he writes. Equal parts memoir and professional resource, his authenticity is refreshing; his insights, profound; his writing, elegant. An important book for clinicians who provide counsel and for educators who teach counseling. * Harold G. Koenig, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry at Duke University School of Medicine *Parkinson's disease is the fastest growing neurological illness in the world. This thoughtfully written, must-read book effectively provides a framework for those that may be in a position to counsel people impacted by living with Parkinson's or any chronic, progressive illness. Allan Cole is able to personalize the theory being taught in a way that is extremely engaging, touching, and relevant. By sharing his personal experiences in such an honest, candid way, he gives all of us insights into the lived experience and emotional toll this disease takes, as well as the perseverance and the hope we need for the future. * Soania Mathur, M.D., Co-Chair, Patient Council, The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research *Counseling Persons with Parkinson's Disease is a book that is a necessary addition to one's professional library. It is also a volume that patients can read, reflect upon, underline, and go back to when they feel a bit disoriented by what they are going through. As I relaxed with, and reflected upon, its content and spirit I thought to myself: This is what sound psychosocial information should be all about—simple, heart-felt, informative, and prepared in order to make life better for those in pain. * Robert J.

Oxford University Press Never Too Young to Know
Book SynopsisIn spite of society''s wish to protect and insulate children from death, the experience of loss is unavoidable and there is surprisingly little guidance on how to help children cope with grief and bereavement. Never Too Young to Know: Death in Children''s Lives is the first book to bring together diverse fields of study, offering a practical as well as multifaceted theoretical approach to how children cope with death. Using stories of children''s own experiences supported by data from a large research study, Silverman explains the wide range of effects of loss upon children and the challenges they face as they grieve. Silverman presents grief as a normal part of the life cycle which results not only in pain and sadness but also in change and growth. She further explains that children can and do cope effectively with loss and the changes it brings as long as they are taught to understand that death is a part of life and that they will be included appropriately in the family drama.

Oxford University Press Inc The Simple Care of a Hopeful Heart Mentoring
Book SynopsisIn the end, it is not the amount of darkness in the world, our country, family or even within ourselves that matters-It is how we stand in that darkness that is crucial. In light of this, the overall question addressed in this book is simple and challenging: How can we best mentor ourselves with the knowledge that already surrounds us so we learn and grow from the changes, stress, and even trauma, that we must face in today''s uncertain times?Underlying the book''s overall message is the signature strength of humility because as the author emphasizes: When we take knowledge and add humility, we get wisdom, and when we then add this very wisdom to compassion, we get love... and love is at the heart of a rich, compassionate, and resilient life.The book presents a series of 50 brief lessons on such topics as: Developing a renewed and deeper interest in creative approaches to self-care Overcoming resistance to change Ways to gain, maintain, and regain a healthy perspective Appreciating the advantages of the psychological detours forced on us in life How spending only 2 minutes each day in silence, solitude, and wrapped in gratitude can be transformative Understanding how we can best apply the principles of posttraumatic growth (PTG) to our own life situation Dealing effectively with necessary change and unexpected loss Recognizing the importance of pacing and timing in our interactions with othersTable of ContentsIntroduction: Good News in the Making 50 Lessons in Self-Mentoring in Difficult Times Chapter 1: "Hold on for the Next Supply" Chapter 2: Unlearning Chapter 3: The Two ViewsEL Both Are Real Chapter 4: Maintaining a Healthy Perspective Chapter 5: The Good and the Bad: Balancing Acts During Tough Times Chapter 6: Necessary Bump in the Road Chapter 7: During Uncertain Times, Don't Miss the Opening Chapter 8: Five Simple Steps to Prevent Loss of Emotional Energy Chapter 9: Taking the Little and Big Detours in Life Chapter 10: The One Word We Need in Really Stressful Situations Chapter 11: Only 2 Minutes?

Oxford University Press Inc Mastery of Your Anxiety and Panic Brief
Book SynopsisThis edition of Mastery of Your Anxiety and Panic: Brief Six-Session Version for Primary Care and Related Settings, Workbook, outlines a time-limited treatment for those dealing with panic disorder and agoraphobia. Developed for use with patients who seek treatment from a primary care provider, this guide is based on the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). The program described can be delivered by a general practitioner or other health or mental health care provider in primary care or related settings in up to six sessions. A modified version of the more intensive 12-session version of the program, this treatment represents an introduction to the skills and techniques that have been proven effective for overcoming panic disorder, and that patients can easily learn and continue on their own.Trade ReviewThis brief six session treatment of panic disorder has been shown to be effective in primary care settings when administered by behavioral health specialists. As most patients with panic attacks first contact their primary care providers, use of this evidence-based manual can avoid years of struggling to get an accurate diagnosis and the most effective evidence-based treatment. This brief version is likely to be used in other settings where a longer treatment may not be feasible. I enthusiastically recommend this manual for every primary care facility and other settings where a brief treatment is warranted. * Ricks Warren, PhD, ABPP, Clinical Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of Michigan Medical School *This suite of therapist manuals and patient workbooks, focusing on cutting edge CBT treatment for panic disorder, remains a classic in the field. The authors are internationally renowned for their expertise in this area and have updated the text with new research, an enhanced emphasis on inhibitory learning to inform the process and conduct of exposure exercises, and new and improved case material. Starting with the previous version, the program pays more attention to variability in how fast or slow a client is able move through the treatment, improving the patient—treatment 'match'. The end result facilitates implementation for the user and is in a way like having a personal supervision experience with the authors. * Peter Roy-Byrne, MD, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry, University of Washington School of Medicine *The Mastery of Your Anxiety and Panic volumes - the therapist guide and the workbooks for clients - are indisputably the finest evidence-based books for helping people overcome panic disorder.

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.

Topics that are addressed include:* information sharing and decision making in the consultation* theories of the patient-doctor relationship* the social context of illnessThe research evidence is described, and practical implications for patient care are explored.

His work is concerned with the relevance of psychotherapy to the everyday modern world. His significance lies in the issues he addresses, the concepts he provides, and the many still unresolved questions he poses on the relationship of the individual to society.

It offers a comprehensive view of Erikson as a person, as a writer and thinker, and as a psychotherapist. As well as exploring the way Erikson's life and work are connected, this book examines the application of his thinking to contemporary social and political issues, and to current psychotherapeutic and counselling practice.

This new introductory book strikes an easy balance between theory and practice.

Techniques are presented in an easy-to-understand format and illustrated using clinical examples Trade Review"Occasionally a book is written that fills such a big hole that you wonder how it hasn’t been written before. When it is also so practical and written with such clarity, you know it is something special. Cognitive Behavioural Chairwork is such a book. Of all experiential processes in CBT, chairwork is amongst the most powerful, yet least well articulated.

Inviting them to adopt, become, and enact different parts - be they emotions, motives or even memories – is increasingly recognised as a core therapeutic process. In this exceptionally insightful, clear, and useful book, Dr. Pugh skilfully guides the therapist through the history of chair work, and its different forms and functions. Full of fascinating clinical insights and wisdoms, along with step-by-step guidance in this way of working, this text is a must read.

Dr. Zurita provides evidence-based exercises to guide adults through the process of ACT. This includes learning to step back from oneâs thoughts and memories, opening up to all types of unwanted thoughts and feelings, paying attention to the physical world, observing oneâs thoughts and feelings, getting rid of barriers to values-based living, and developing consistent patterns of values-based behavior. Written from the office of a full-time therapist in a simple, uncomplicated, and unpretentious manner, this workbook will be useful for all clients suffering from OCD and for the therapists who work with them.Trade Review"Dr. Z. has been treating OCD for many years, and passionately too. Her interest in OCD keeps her approach to treating it fresh. Merging the tried and tested, with the new. In her new book, she demonstrates how ERP and ACT can work together to tackle OCD and how readers can make a shift from reactive moves to wise moves. With many exercises to help the reader understand and apply these skills. Thank you Dr. Z. for your dedication and service to the OCD community!"- Stuart Ralph, The OCD Stories"This is a very helpful book for anyone who has been struggling with obsessive-compulsive tendencies––and who is sick and tired of allowing them to hold them back from the life they really want to live. This workbook will help you identify what truly matters to you and start you moving in those directions with determination and kindness toward yourself. Dr. Z uses her extensive clinical experiences, knowledge and skills to offer you many practical examples and exercises that can truly make a difference in your life.

I recommend this book wholeheartedly and without any reservations.––Georg H. Eifert, PhD, Chapman University Professor Emeritus of Psychology, Co-Author of Anxiety Happens and the Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety."This is much more than a workbook: it’s an engaging and informative travel guide for the journey to OCD recovery.

Her tips, tools, and insights provide not only a roadmap to recovery, but also a process for enjoying the journey—and your life—along the way."Shala Nicely, LPC author, Is Fred in the Refrigerator? Taming OCD and Reclaiming My Life "Even the best OCD clinicians struggle to provide effective treatment with clients who have strong belief in their obsessions, avoidance of emotions, and wavering motivation. Adults with OCD often present this way and many clinicians refer them out as they feel inadequate to help. This workbook offers a way forward using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a model for how to provide exposure therapy and get back into your life. Regardless the type or form of OCD a person is dealing with, the intersection of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Exposure Response Prevention applies to all of them and those key skills are highlighted in every chapter in a skillful and accessible manner.

I highly recommend this workbook!" M. Joann Wright, PhD, Founder, Supervisor, Presenter and Therapist at ACT One; Peer-Reviewed ACT Trainer, and Fellow of the Association of Contextual Behavioral Sciences. "Dr. Z has written a much-needed workbook for adults suffering with OCD. In this workbook she illustrates how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy along with Exposure Response Prevention can be used to side-step the difficult images, thoughts, and feelings that come with this struggle. Dr. Z has unique skills and expertise in this area and her years of work with anxiety, OCD, rumination and fear-based challenges shine through in this workbook in the exercises, ability to convey how to build values-based exposures, how to unhook from the mind, and how to check what’s really organizing our life. I am sure this workbook will help many people to learn key ACT and ERP skills and go back to do what’s important to them!"Michael Twohig, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Utah State UniversityTable of ContentsIntroduction; PART I Getting to Know Your Mind: A Pattern-Making Machine; 1 Obsessions Are the Norm!; 2 If Obsessions Are Normal, What About OCD?; 3 What Keeps OCD Going?; 4 Why Are Obsessions So Hard to Let Go Of?; 5 Are There Different Types of OCD?; PART II What Would ACT Do for You?; 6 What Is This Thing Called “ACT”?; 7 What About ACT and Exposure?; 8 What Lies Ahead?; PART III The Trilogy That Makes Your Life Miserable; 9 What Are the Compulsions You’re Doing?; 10 Don’t Forget About Avoidant Behaviors!; 11 Do You Know Your Ruling-Thoughts?; PART IV Facts and Fantasy About Getting Rid of Obsessions; 12 How Do Ruling-Thoughts, Compulsions and Avoidant Behaviors Work?; 13 How Are You Relating to Yourself These Days?; 14 What’s Really in Your Control?; 15 What About Dropping Those “Getting Rid of Obsessions” Strategies?; PART V Learning to Date Your Mind; 16 Let Your Mind Do Its Own Minding; 17 Fall Out of Blind Love With Your Mind!; 18 Get Out of the Content of Your Mind!; 19 Stay “In the Moment,” Not in Your Head!; 20 Keep in Mind the F of Thinking, Not What It Looks Like!; 21 Make Room for Disturbing Content in Your Mind!; 22 Watch Out for Fake-Acceptance!; 23 Hold Your Mind Lightly!; 24 Always Check What Works!; PART VI Shift, Shift, Shift . . .
