***** BRILJANT! *****"Boken innehåller stöttande råd för människor som befinner sig i sina mest sårbara stunder. De tre avsnitten behandlar när det är svårt att umgås med andra, liksom med sig själv eller med sina känslor. Utifrån sin gedigna erfarenhet delar författaren utomordentligt väl med sig av sin kunskap och ger konkreta verktyg för att hantera svåra situationer. Texten andas förtröstan och påminner oss om att vi inte är ensamma med att uppleva motgångar och tvivel någon gång i livet." Maria Fridstjerna, Bibliotekstjänst, BTJ-häftet nr 3, 2025

Ny bok av den internationellt bästsäljande författaren av Varför har ingen berättat det här för mig?, nu översatt till 42 språk.

Öppna när ... är en bok fylld med stöttande råd för människor i sina mest sårbara stunder. Med sin varma och kliniska expertis delar Julie Smith med sig av de ord vi behöver höra i tider av kris eller självtvivel, ger läsarna hopp och påminner oss alla om att vi inte är ensamma.

Hur mycket man än förbereder sig och utvecklas, kommer det svåra stunder i livet som är tunga att möta och där man känner sig ensam. I sådana stunder behöver man någon som finns där, som tar tjuren vid hornen och ger konkreta och stöttande råd för att komma vidare.

Varje kapitel, som handlar om konkreta situationer, inleds med ett stöttande brev som erbjuder stöd och bekräftelse. Efter det ger Julie Smith olika verktyg för att konstruktivt ta sig an situationen, och för att komma vidare. Kapitlen avslutas med en behändig punktlista med viktiga saker att komma ihåg och ta med sig.

Julie Smith har över tio års erfarenhet av klinisk psykologi och var den första i yrkeskåren att använda TikTok för att sprida insikter om terapi. Utöver sin egna privata klinik har hon satsat på att sprida högkvalitativa och kostnadsfria utbildningsvideor som är tillgängliga för alla. I dag har hon över 4 miljoner följare och hennes videoklipp har nått över en halv miljard visningar över olika plattformar. Julie har deltagit i två BBC-filmer och varit med i bland annat Good Morning Britain och CNN International och blivit omskriven av Women's Health, The Telegraph, The Times, The Sunday Mail och CNN. Hon bor i Hampshire, England, med sin man och tre barn. Hennes första bok, Varför har ingen berättat de här för mig?, översattes till över 40 språk och blev en megasuccé.

This Routledge Focus aims to investigate and analyse the United Kingdom’s relationship with the European Communities (EC) and the European Union (EU). Since joining the EC in 1973, the UK has had a fraught relationship with the organization, declining closer economic union in the eurozone and, often, arguing against closer political union. While some 67% of the UK’s voters opted to remain in the EC in a referendum held in 1975, by June 2016 a narrow majority favoured leaving the EU. This volume evaluates the UK’s journey into the Union, and examines how the country’s voters came to decide on Brexit, and where the UK’s departure from the EU may lead it.
