Book SynopsisAn Existential Approach to Interpersonal Trauma provides a new existential framework for understanding the experiences of interpersonal trauma building on reflections from Marc Boaz's own personal history, clinical insight and research.The book suggests that psychology, psychotherapy and existentialism do not recognise the significance of the existential movements that occur in traumatic confrontations with reality. By considering what people find at the limits and boundaries of human experiencing, Boaz describes the ways in which they can disillusion and re-illusion themselves, and how this becomes incorporated into their modes of existing in the world and in relation to others. In incorporating the experience of trauma into the way people live all the existential horror, terror and liberation contained within it Boaz invites them to embrace an expansive ethic of (re)(dis)covery. This ethic recognises the ambiguity and spectrality of interpersonalTrade Review'Trauma theory tends to concentrate on either the event, or the physiological and mental effects on the person. It sees trauma as something that is unusual that happens to other people. These approaches neglect the apparently simple question, ‘What is it that is traumatised?’. In this groundbreaking book Marc Boaz radically reframes this question philosophically. He makes a compelling case for the need to understand interpersonal trauma existentially, and in terms of the paradoxes and dilemmas of our embodied and relational world. The appropriateness of this approach will be brought home to everyone interested in the area by the way he relates his philosophical insights to therapeutic practice.'Martin Adams, Existential therapist and author of An Existential Approach to Human Development‘This is essential reading for all those wanting to learn more about interpersonal trauma and its theoretical underpinnings. Marc makes an invaluable contribution to field by exploring key concepts and questions about trauma and setting out important implications for practice.’Kadra Abdinasir, Associate Director for Children and Young People’s Mental Health, Centre for Mental Health Table of ContentsIntroduction; Part I Early and contemporary psychotraumatology; 1.

Book SynopsisGroupwork with Refugees and Survivors of Human Rights Abuses describes, explores and promotes the power of groupwork for refugees and survivors of human rights abuses in a range of contexts. Drawing on multiple theoretical approaches, the book features chapters from practitioners running groups in different settings, such as torture rehabilitation services, refugee camps, and reception centres. The voices of participants demonstrate the variety, creativity, and value of group and community approaches for recovery. The editors have gathered chapters into three sections covering: community-based approaches; groups that work through the medium of body and soul; and group approaches that focus on change through the spoken word. The book will be relevant to those working in rehabilitation, community, mental health, and humanitarian fields and are interested in using groupwork as part of their services.The Open Access version of this book, availTrade ReviewThis is an exceptional and authoritative book that appears at the appropriate time, to help all of us grasp the complexities of human suffering resulting from the adversities of various forms of involuntarily dislocation and human rights violations, from a wide variety of perspectives. Its encyclopaedic, almost, scope provides a broad vision of effective interventions in many different contexts and settings, all over the world. Combining theory and practice, the book is written by committed practitioners, generously sharing their expertise and experiences, but also their sincere reflections about their work. The book will be a welcome resource for everyone working in these fields as well as for the informed readers who wish to obtain a thoughtful update on the current developments of these interventions.Professor Renos K Papadopoulos, PhD, University of Essex. Clinical Psychologist, Family Therapist and Jungian psychoanalyst; author of Involuntary Dislocation. Home, Trauma, Resilience and Adversity-Activated DevelopmentFraming the injustices against torture survivors, including asylum seekers, as moral transgressions requiring moral responses, this book brings together a collection of varied and powerful group practice examples of such responses. Togetherness, in group-based and community-based work with survivors, is exemplified as both a metaphor and as a means to foster solidarity against injustice, human connection, awareness-raising and collective action, towards the restoration of the human dignity of survivors and towards justice. In an era of individualising, pathologising psychological therapies being heralded as solutions to all forms of trauma, this book reminds us of the immense creativity and power of groupwork in enabling change beyond the individual. It is a timely and an invaluable resource for all those working with refugees and survivors of human rights abuses.Nimisha Patel, Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of East London and Director of International Centre for Health and Human Rights, UKAs a practitioner based in Sri Lanka, this collected volume was one I wanted to immediately share with my colleagues. Drawing from practice across diverse contexts - from Zimbabwe to Tunisia, from the UK to Uganda - the book brings together a truly global set of contributions that are accessible, descriptive and genuinely inspiring. The chapters give us an account of the underlying theories of change and values that guide these processes. Crucially, many also provide us with vital details about how these are responding to the wider events and socio-political processes that the participants of groupwork have to navigate in their daily lives - and underscore the importance of organic connections between approaches, context and the people involved in this work. The voices and views of the people whose experiences drive the groupwork are consistently and actively represented throughout, as are the different traditions and epistemologies that the approaches draw from. The contrasts between the diverse settings and approaches are largely implicit, but are very present and tangible to the reader, greatly enriching their experience. This collected volume is truly relevant to a global audience, offering meaningful insights into therapeutic groupwork approaches that have a lot to teach practitioners in any context. Ananda Galappatti, Director of Strategy, MHPSS.netWhat a book! So much material, so many examples of hope emerging out of coming to terms with painful tragedy. The Contributors to this title have brought to life the challenges, and the joys of helping people to find their inner resources to cope with perhaps the worst of human experience – violent inhumanity. This is achieved by offering the reader examples of what has made a personal difference from groupwork projects around the world. The power of the group experience is revealed in many ways as people spend time together, seeking a way forward and offering each other support and encouragement. There is something fundamentally enhancing to the person through positive and constructive group experience. This title is impressive and inspiring, offering examples of how the best of human experience can help people to find new lives after experiencing the worst of humanity. And on a lighter note: from reading this book I now understand the therapeutic power of sprouting broccoli. You will have to read it as well to discover this. Richard Bryant-Jefferies, author, Counselling Victims of WarfareThe absolute joy in this book, is its accessibility and practical application for humanitarian practitioners engaged in groupwork with refugees and survivors of human rights abuses. The sheer geographic breadth of examples from Peru, Uganda, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Kosovo, and the UK amongst other contexts, demonstrates the electric and creative work happening at a local level in countries hosting refugees - whether they are persons recently displaced, in transit or navigating legal asylum application systems in host countries. The case studies illuminate effective, culturally-relevant and alternative group (therapeutic) approaches that counter-balance and challenge the harmful dominance of the ‘Western and individualised’ medical mental health model. This book is recommended reading for anyone, working within and outside of humanitarian contexts, who wishes to harness the positive aspects of group approaches to support refugees and survivors of human rights abuses. Sarah Harrison, Mental Health and Psychosocial Support PractitionerThis text opens us up to the power of collectiveness and how practitioners have applied the group approach to support individuals and communities heal and overcome emotional difficulties, suffered as a result of rights violations and abuse. The Book is a rich collection of exemplars, showcasing the work of community-based practitioners that have been carefully selected from a diverse range of countries. The context where interventions were implemented, range from conflict, displacement and torture, hence enabling the reader to relate groupwork approaches with the unique needs of these communities. Each book chapter presents a very unique country context which enables the reader to broaden their understanding of groupwork and how it can be applied in multiple contexts. From Zimbabwe to Peru, the authors share lived experiences of survivors and their sheer will to overcome adversity, rebuild their lives and support one another to regain their esteem, by working together in groups. For a researcher looking to learn more about the collective healing power of groupwork, to the practitioner eager to deliver low cost community appropriate interventions, the Power of Togetherness is an invaluable resource.Patrick Onyango Mangen, Chief Executive Officer REPSSIThis book is a very welcome addition to the literature; it is innovative in that it brings together a wealth of information from a number of countries about group and community work in relation to human rights. It is written in an accessible style, is broad in its scope and provides a range of diverse illustrative examples. The reader will learn a lot about varied projects and the power of this work. The chapters are written by people bringing a range of skills and creative thinking and it may encourage others to take part in this important work. The richness of the content of this book will be very useful to anyone concerned about human rights.

Book SynopsisHolographic Reprocessing for Healing Trauma, Abuse, and Maltreatment facilitates constructive reorganization of the perception of trauma which in turn, modifies associated emotional and behavioral tendencies that render people stuck in repetitive cycling of trauma. These patterns are called experiential holograms. This book outlines a step-by-step process to 1) identify experiential holograms, 2) consider context to holistically reappraise meaning, and 3) reprocess using an imagery-based procedure of visiting one's younger self to offer a healing message. This novel approach is integrative, easily tailored to individual needs, and well-grounded in theory. It can be applied to healing from a variety of traumatic experiences including moral injury, medical, interpersonal, and military traumas. Numerous outcome studies support a growing evidence-base for the efficacy of this treatment, and this is an indispensable guide for trauma clinicians.Trade Review"I have seen great success with Dr. Katz’s Warrior Renew protocol and am honored to endorse this book, which presents a blueprint for using holographic reprocessing for a full range of trauma experiences. This book is a must read for any trauma therapist, not only for learning these techniques but also for reading multiple case examples that model for us Dr. Katz’s compassionate style for treating our most traumatized patients." Eliyahu Reich, PhD, trauma psychologist, past president of the Tennessee Psychological Association and Memphis Area Psychological Association"In this book, Lori Katz, a compassionate clinician and innovative thinker and researcher, offers a transdiagnostic, holistic path of healing for those who have experienced trauma, abuse, and maltreatment. Holographic Reprocessing elucidates the underlying patterns that create ripple effects of traumatic experiences through peoples' lives. This approach can transform individual lives and our collective network of interpersonal relationships."David R.

Book SynopsisVictimology, Tenth Edition, covers the scope of crime victims' suffering in the US, offering a history of victims and the measurement of victimization, an explanation of the victim's role in the criminal justice process, and a recounting of the issues crime victims face as a result of crime and involvement in the criminal justice process. Doerner and Lab, both well-regarded scholars, write compellingly about how the current criminal's justice system can be transformed into a victim's justice system. Theory is woven together with the description of each topic, and specific examples illustrate each point. The book goes on to address the full impact of victimization, and a final section details specific types of victimization, ranging from violent crimes, including child and elder abuse, to property crime, to crime in the school and in the workplace. The authors explain how obstacles hinder the pursuit of justice, and provide significant policy and programming suggestions to r

Book SynopsisThis book explores the effectiveness of art therapy as treatment for cumulative trauma survivors.Bringing together case studies, research, and the authorâs clinical and personal experience, it outlines different clinical approaches as well as numerous art therapy interventions that are processed through somatic, metaverbal, and narrative means. It further aims to answer the question of âœhow art therapy works,â by pairing aspects of Lusebrinkâs Expressive Therapies Continuum with Perryâs four functional domains (from the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics) to demonstrate how these practices may increase relational capacity and the patientâs access to higher level functioning, in turn, decreasing trauma responses.Foregrounding a person-centered and multi-dimensional approach to trauma repair and creative interventions, this book will appeal to postgraduate students in art therapy and counselling, as well as professionals and researchers in somatic work and trauma s

Book SynopsisThis book focuses on different forms of turning-to versus turning-away from speech across a range of experiences in clinical treatment and general life.The chapters of this volume deal with the entrapment involved in exile from mother tongue, the parasitic language that uses the other''s language as a linguistic prosthesis, the language of blank mourning which separates the mourner from their mourning, the adhesive identification of the voice and the psychotic split between voice and meaning, the mental hypotonia associated with an internalized object that turns away, and the spectrum between revenge and forgiveness. Each chapter sheds light on a different angle of the psyche''s ability to spot its own leverage point and use it to transcend the infinite varieties of helpless victimhood: from the position of the victim to the position of the witness, from being the object of the narrative to being its subject, and from the position of righteousness to the willingness to forgiv

The book provides a unique protocol utilizing numerous evidence-based diagnostic assessments; in-depth psychoeducation on attachment issues, Internal Family Systems therapy, and mindfulness; and Metaframeworks, a Family Systems modality, as a model to enhance EMDR. Filled with a wealth of information on the latest clinical studies on topics from the neurobiology of trauma to the effectiveness of mindfulness practices in EDMR, this book will open up a host of productive new avenues for EMDR therapists to pursue with their clients.Trade Review"In her illuminating book EMDR in Family Systems: An Integrated Approach to Healing Trauma, Mille masterfully interweaves the experiencing of trauma, its manifold short and long term impact and consequences, and various treatment approaches she incorporates with EMDR, such as internal family systems and genogramming. She elaborates the latest well-researched findings from neuroscience about the traumatized brain and how the changes in the brain affect an individual’s personality and functioning. Mille writes with great sensitivity and wisdom. Her depiction of her own devastating trauma(s) is described in a professional manner so that it contributes to the complex narrative of why she chose to pursue a career in the mental health field, specializing in assessing, treating, and teaching about the efficacy of practicing EMDR from a family systems perspective in dealing with traumatized patients/clients.

Book SynopsisWisdom, Attachment, and Love in Trauma Therapy focuses on the creation of the therapist as healing presence rather than technique administratorin other words, how to be rather than what to do. Trauma survivors need wise therapists who practice with the union of intellect, knowledge, and intuition. Through self-work, therapists can learn to embody healing qualities that foster an appropriate, corrective, and loving experience in treatment that transcends any technique. This book shows how Eastern wisdom teachings and Western psychotherapeutic modalities combine with modern theory to support a knowledgeable, compassionate, and wise therapist who is equipped to help even the most traumatized person heal. Chapters: Chapters 2 and 3 of this book are freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.Trade Review"Wisdom, Attachment, and Love in Trauma Therapy provides a sophisticated and compassionate understanding of how trauma therapists experience, train, and contribute to the healing of their heroic clients. In this well-written and integrated book, Susan Pease Banitt conveys a conceptual framework integrating principles extracted from contemporary neuroscience, psychology, and philosophic orientations to emphasize the features of successful therapy. Through her personal experiences, she emphasizes the importance of the therapist being present with and accepting of the client. Perhaps most relevant to the trauma therapist, she provides a deep understanding of the vulnerabilities of the therapist, who may be a survivor of trauma."Stephen W. Porges, PhD, distinguished university scientist and founding director of the Traumatic Stress Research Consortium, Kinsey Institute, Indiana University, and author of The Pocket Guide to The Polyvagal Theory: The Transformative Power of Feeling Safe "Susan Pease Banitt offers us more than a book; this is a mission statement on how many of us who work to bring healing to the wounds of trauma really feel about the state of our field. Pease Bannit, an expert at her craft, shares her much-needed voice as she teaches on one of the great clinical imperatives: it’s the relationship that heals. Practical, useful and integrative, any clinician working in trauma healing ought to have a copy of this book to develop in the art of this work."Jamie Marich, PhD, LPCC-S, LICDC-CS, REAT, RMT, author of EMDR Therapy and Mindfulness for Trauma-Focused Care, Dancing Mindfulness: A Creative Path to Healing and Transformation, Trauma Made Simple, Trauma and the 12 Steps, and EMDR Made Simple"In this book, Susan Pease Banitt is able to integrate psychosocial history, cultural diversity, interdisciplinary sciences, interfaith spirituality and good old-fashioned common sense. She synthesizes complex information in ways that make sense of clinical chaos without resorting to reductionism. Her work has very practical applications beyond theory and empowers healing processes for clients and therapists alike. Pease Banitt's brilliance stands out above the rest because her personal and professional lives are congruent and lived with a high level of integrity."Ericha Scott, PhD, LPCC, ATR-BC, keynote speaker, creative arts psychotherapist, consultant, globally published researcher, and theorist in peer-reviewed journals "Susan Pease Banitt bravely challenges outmoded mindsets that have never served us as we work to heal trauma survivors. She asserts that our clients need to feel loved, that there is a place for touch in psychotherapy, that dissociated and later recovered memories are normal responses to trauma, and that we need sit in belief of what our clients tell us, including ritual abuse and trauma-based mind control."Ellen Lacter, PhD, licensed clinical psychologist, registered play therapist, marriage and family therapist, past president of the California Association of Play Therapy, academic coordinator of the Play Therapy Certificate Program at the University of California, San Diego ExtensionTable of ContentsForeword Preface Part I: Wisdom 1.

Each chapter draws on the latest empirically supported approaches and techniques to address a wide range of clinical challenges in individual, family and group settings. The chapters also explore important contextual issues of race, gender, culture, age and ethnicity and provide case studies and practical tips that clinicians can use to support clients on their healing journey.Trade Review"Using Superheroes and Villains in Counseling and Play Therapy will be a welcome addition to any child or family therapist’s professional bookshelf. Editor Larry Rubin and his expert coauthors provide a how-to for applying a broad range of today’s colorful and complex characters to the demands of our increasingly diverse clinical caseloads. Just as importantly, the chapters explain how to integrate superhero mythology with contemporary, evidence-based, gold-standard psychotherapeutic approaches like CBT, behavioral treatment, and positive psychology."—Alan M. "Woody" Schwitzer, PhD, licensed psychologist and professor of counseling at Old Dominion University"Dr. Rubin has provided us with a marvelous compendium of timely, diverse, and powerful therapeutic interventions. Using Superheroes and Villains in Counseling and Play Therapy is an essential resource for mental health professionals working with young—as well as not so young—clients for whom superheroes and villains are an integral part of their personal mythology. As clinicians it is imperative that we genuinely understand the personal mythology that our clients present to us via their play, their words, and their actions, as that is what opens the window into their world and allows us to join them on their journey. What an amazing gift to us all!"—Loretta Gallo-Lopez, LMHC, RPT-S, RDT-BCT, clinical director of Focus Academy and clinician in private practice "Once again, Larry Rubin has put together a powerful group of authors that provide a fresh and enthusiastic therapeutic approach coupled with relevant case studies that offer effective techniques for use of a medium that is relatable to all humans, especially young people. Using Superheroes and Villains in Counseling and Play Therapy is a valuable therapeutic tool that no practitioner working with young people should be without!"—Kevin B.

Book SynopsisWhere live our most cherished (or painful) memories? Where do our beloved (or dreaded) exist when departed? In the gray zone between our self and our world, they can exist as internal reminiscences for some and striking images for others; individually or collectively perceived and interacted; vividly or as tenuous presences.This book familiarizes us with six examples of individuals and families in therapy who live and interact with the presence of their absent, pivotal people in their lives who either died or disappeared, but are still there. It familiarizes us with their plight in a tender, compassionate style, describing in detail interviews and therapeutic transformations and, in several cases, follow-ups as well as echoes of those processes. It teaches us to respect those presences as well as how to help families and individuals treasure themand in many cases to let them go.Written in a vivid, intense language, The Presence of the Absent offers a marvelous insight Trade Review"It would be a mistake to pass this book over, thinking it only has relevance for family therapists; the ghosts are equally alive in all our therapy rooms." —Chris Rose, group psychotherapist, writer and Therapy Today Reviews Editor"Gripping, inspiring and poetic, this groundbreaking book is a rare combination of theory, practice and enchantment about the mysteries of grieving processes seldom addressed before. Sprinkled with fascinating and self-reflective illustrations, Sluzki’s brilliant work with traumatic losses masterfully offers creative and culturally respectful clinical practices for professionals at all levels." —Celia Jaes Falicov, PhD, clinical professor in family medicine and public health at the University of California, San Diego and author of Latino Families in Therapy."A brilliant, creative, deeply touching gem of a book—clear and simply told, but not oversimplified. Sluzki is a genius at the delicate intervention. A master therapist dealing with complex cultural disruption, traumatic loss and the presence of ghosts, he offers a remarkable challenge to himself and others to remain open to possibilities. We see him challenging cultural assumptions and behaviors in gentle and non-abrasive ways, intervening with humble and tender precision in complex clinical situations. His book is affecting, thoughtful, subtle and wise." —Dr. Monica McGoldrick, MSW, PhD (hc), director, Multicultural Family Institute and adjunct associate professor, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School"In The Presence of the Absence, Carlos Sluzki shows across decades of consultations with families in distress that it is the still swirling relationship with a family member that shapes other family members’ lives, even though that family member may be long deceased. Carlos so keenly discerns the political contexts of patients’ problems that his family interventions have the impact of human rights declarations and are acts of liberation."—James L. Griffith, MD, Leon M. Yochelson Professor and Chair, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, The George Washington University."Carlos Sluzki invites us into the heart of his brilliant and inspiring work in this amazing volume. In every chapter, his wisdom and humanity shine through, from his courageous engagement with clients who are suffering deeply to his broad systemic perspective illuminating social, cultural, and political injustices. His inspiring clinical stories reveal both the haunting pain of traumatic loss and the resilience that can be forged in accompanying clients wisely on their journey of healing and growth." —Froma Walsh, PhD, Mose & Sylvia Firestone Professor Emerita at the University of Chicago and co-founder & co-director of the Chicago Center for Family Health.Table of ContentsForeword Salvador Minuchin 1.

Book SynopsisWhile promoting access to resources and systems of support for those affected by gender-based violence is absolutely crucial, this new book focuses attention on the important question of how communities can take action to prevent violence and abuse. Using examples of current research and practice, the book explores the actions that can be taken in individual sectors of society, our schools, faith communities, campuses, on our streets and using new popular technologies. The contributors draw on global examples to highlight the importance of learning from the study of the interaction between socio-political contexts and effective policies and strategies to address gender-based violence. Chapters take up the challenge of exploring the construction of effective programmes that address cognitive, affective and behavioural domains. They discuss what people know, how they feel and how they behave, and include the important challenge of how to engage men in working towards theTrade Review‘This book is about strong women and communities working together to identify and implement strategies, which both assist and empower women and girls who have survived gender based violence, and to prevent it happening in the future. It clearly names gender based violence as a human rights abuse and identifies the key issues to be considered when addressing violence against women. The excellent Introduction provides a broad analytical context for the following chapters, which contribute to our understanding of a wide range of contexts in which gender based violence occurs, and suggests creative responses towards its elimination.’ - Adjunct Associate Professor Eileen Pittaway, Forced Migration Network, UNSW Australia.Table of ContentsList of illustrations List of contributors Preface Acknowledgements List of acronyms Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisA Marine's searing and intimate story—A passionate, fascinating, and deeply humane memoir of both war and of the hard work of citizenship and healing in war’s aftermath. A superb addition to our understanding of the Vietnam War, and of its lessons” (Phil Klay, author of Redeployment).John Musgrave had a small-town midwestern childhood that embodied the idealized postwar America. Service, patriotism, faith, and civic pride were the values that guided his family and community, and like nearly all the boys he knew, Musgrave grew up looking forward to the day when he could enlist to serve his country as his father had done. There was no question in Musgrave’s mind: He was going to join the legendary Marine Corps as soon as he was eligible. In February of 1966, at age seventeen, during his senior year in high school, and with the Vietnam War already raging, he walked down to the local recruiting station, signed up, and set off for three years th
