Because of our collective failure to act, this mortality gap has persisted for decades and continues to worsen despite advances in the access and quality of medical care for the general population. This book looks at decades of research on people with severe mental illness (SMI) and asks two questions: Why do people with SMI die at an earlier age than those in the general population without these disorders? And, what can be done to address these deadly health inequities? Readers will come away with a better understanding of the factors that shape the physical health of people with SMI and an awareness of the interventions, programs, and policies aimed at improving the health of this underserved population.

This progress has been uneven, however, due to continuing misconceptions about the causes and dynamics of domestic violence, which include an exaggerated focus on males as perpetrators and females as victims, as well as a heavy-handed law enforcement response that compromises the rights of criminal defendants without necessarily reducing violence. Gender and Domestic Violence presents empirical research findings and reform recommendations for prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys, policy makers and intervention providers with the aim of rectifying shortcomings in legal and law enforcement responses to domestic violence. The volume''s editors and chapter authors confront the notion that certain beliefs shared among victim advocates, legal actors, and other stakeholders -- principally that domestic violence is bound by gender, and is primarily a crime against women -- \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI applaud and admire John Hamel and Brenda Russell for putting together this book. The book is well-researched with chapters written by highly regarded experts in the field. Although destined to be controversial, it's long overdue, and provides solid research and recommendations for both criminal justice and family courts for how to best handle domestic violence cases. It takes on the political controversy and provides evidence-based information on how gender is not the determining predictor for who commits domestic violence. It is a must read for all who work in the field of domestic violence and who encounter domestic violence in the criminal courts, family courts, and service professions. * Denise A. Hines, Ph.D., Associate Professor, College of Health and Human Services, George Mason University *\u003cbr\u003eFinally! Perhaps the most comprehensive approach to understanding IPV in terms of policy and practice, this book gathers the work of committed scholars who ignored convention in the face of great opposition and steadfastly pushed for a greater understanding of women's use of violence. Hamel and Russell's book shines light in the dark corners where change and progress are desperately needed and represents more than a decade of effort to transform our thinking - and thus our policies, practices, and treatment approaches - resulting in a paradigmatic shift in the conversations around gender and IPV. * Michelle Mohr Carney, PhD, MSSA, Dean \u0026amp; Professor, School of Social Welfare, University of Kansas *\u003cbr\u003eAs a former domestic violence prosecutor, I struggled with the one-size-fits-all approach to IPV. As a current defense attorney, I see the havoc this homogenous mindset causes for the wrongfully accused. With a scientific and fact-driven approach, this volume recognizes and reports the nuances of IPV, and asks questions of our current criminal legal system based on research, not stereotypes or politics. Prosecutors, defense attorneys and judges must wrestle with the evidence presented in this volume or risk being well-intentioned agents of injustice. * Peter Chambers, Esq., Law Office of Peter James Chambers *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I Topic Overview of Research on Domestic Violence  1 Introduction-The Problem with the Gender Paradigm John Hamel, Ph.D. \u0026amp; Brenda Russell, Ph.D  2 What We Currently Know about the Prevalence, Causes and Dynamics of Intimate Partner Violence Elizabeth Bates, Ph.D. \u0026amp; Alexandra Papamichail, Ph.D  3 The Law Enforcement Response to IPV: Toward a Gender-Neutral Approach Brenda Russell, Ph.D \u0026amp; Emily Seisler, BA.

Dr. Markowitz and his colleagues manualized Brief Supportive Psychotherapy (BSP) as a time-limited control treatment to compare to more active established psychotherapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) in research studies. In fact, BSP, an emotion-focused, bare-bones treatment based on Carl Rogers'' Client Centered Therapy, has since proven itself to be a robust treatment in multiple randomized controlled treatment trials. It has generally kept pace with the brand name treatments in treating patients with difficult disorders like chronic depression. Some therapists, previously trained only in cognitive and behavioral approaches, have found this affect-focused approach adds a new dimension to their thinking and to patients'' lives.Brief Supportive Psychotherapy: A Treatment Manual and Clinical Approach is both an elaboration of the now well-tested research treatment manual for BSP and a primer for clinicians. It illustrates how BSP helps patients with mood and anxiety disorders to tolerate rather than avoid their powerful negative emotions. It describes the key elements of supportive psychotherapy, covering the crucial common factors that help make all evidence-based psychotherapies effective. These include affective arousal, helping the patient to feel understood, realistic optimism for improvement, a therapeutic ritual, clinical poise, and success experiences. BSP maximizes patient autonomy, letting the patient lead sessions, and prescribes no homework. It is an elemental, relatively simple approach for a psychotherapy, yet no psychotherapy is easy to do well. Its affect-focused approach enhances the application of all psychotherapeutic approaches. It deserves a place among evidence-based treatments in depression treatment guidelines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSupportive psychotherapy is arguably the most common form of psychotherapy performed in actual practice. In this clearly written, highly edifying book, John Markowitz, one of the world's leading psychotherapy researchers, lays out the premises, procedures, and applications of supportive psychotherapy, buttressed by detailed case vignettes that bring readers into the consultation room. This manual will not only serve novices and their teachers, but will also inform and enlighten veteran practitioners.\"-Dr. Joel Yager, MD, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Colorado School of Medicine\u003cbr\u003eThe most important form of psychotherapy is also the most neglected. Supportive therapy is an essential and inherent element in all patient care * whether delivered by psychiatrists; other physicians; psychologists; social workers; nurses, occupational therapists; or aides.

Markowitz fills this void with eloquence and deep clinical wisdom.\"-Dr. Allen Frances, MD   *\u003cbr\u003eBrief Supportive Psychotherapy: A Treatment Manual and Clinical Approach, by John C.

They encounter the extreme casualties of social inequality: the victims of poverty, illness, addiction, and abuse; they work with abusers and offenders; and operate in the space between the State and the poor or marginalized. Social work is replete with vivid human stories: the troubled teenage boy who cannot settle in a foster home; the frail older woman who is desperate for social contact; the community seeking a way to tackle gang violence; the sex offender leaving prison; and the disputed territory of international adoption. Social work therefore holds a fundamental importance throughout the modern world.In this Very Short Introduction, Sally Holland and Jonathan Scourfield explain what social work is and look at its rich historical development. Reflecting international human stories of social problems and social work relationships, as well as the philosophies behind the practice and the evidence about what works throughout the world, they look at the various definitions, history, and debates about purpose and effectiveness, theory, and methods. Including wide ranging examples of social work practice around the world and within particular population groups, they reflect the international variation of social work theory and practice, as well as highlighting all of the main controversies and debates.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

The focus is on empowering front-line professionals through reflective practice, so that they are able to draw on multiple factors and perspectives and make sound problem-solving judgements. The book begins with the core concepts, client focus, and legal background before moving on to consider the collaborative processes and the nature of individual judgements.
