Families and Individuals Living with Trauma
A Guide for Therapists, Relatives, and Friends
Häftad, Engelska, 2021
616 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book is an accessible guide for understanding and treating psychological trauma. Drawing on Dr. Woodcock’s extensive experience and the latest research, it offers an approach that integrates systemic therapy and psychoanalytic perspectives through the lens of attachment theory. The book’s chapters cover topics such as trauma and pain; traumatic death; how to respond when disaster strikes; social systems that promote attachment versus systems that create trauma; and how to look after ourselves as therapists, family, and friends of trauma survivors. Because no single therapeutic paradigm is sufficient to capture the complexity of trauma, the book brings together a wide set of therapeutic traditions and shows in detail how to apply a variety of treatment approaches, gathered from psychoanalytic, cognitive behavioral, intersubjective, mindfulness, and body psychotherapy traditions, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).The book’s vignettes and casestudies provide clear illustrations of the theory outlined and demonstrate the use of interventions in a range of settings. It will appeal to qualified and training practitioners in the clinical and care professions and researchers from across the psychological sciences with an interest in trauma, as well as to a more general readership affected by issues relating to trauma.

This book explores the various applications of systemic understanding in practice. Each chapter covers diverse working contexts and existential life dilemmas, tackling subjects such as: systemic work with individuals, single session family therapy, experiences of adult longing, the therapeutic relationship as a form of love, working systemically with experiences of marginalisation, cultural difference and diversity, the integration of recent neuroscience developments with systemic therapy with couples, the role of forgiveness and the spiritual dimension in therapy. Throughout, this book promotes hope by presenting new horizons and providing room for reflection on uncertainty, change, opportunities, inter-connections and differences. Theoretical expansion of these existential issues lies both at the heart of systemic work and on the leading edge of research and theory-practice linking, showing how the integration of research with new developments across the broader fieldsof psychotherapy and counselling can be held within a systemic relational umbrella.

Culturally Responsive Psychotherapy, Counselling & Psychology
Practices for Inclusion and Accountability
Häftad, Engelska, 2025
448 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This textbook brings together experienced educators, researchers, counsellors, and psychotherapists who offer insights on how to practice, teach, research, and supervise within a framework of social justice and cultural responsiveness. Readers are encouraged to reflect on their own role in making counselling and psychotherapy more accessible, especially for marginalised communities. The book challenges the language that often stems from a colonial mindset, focusing instead on the counsellor’s critical reflection and the ability to approach issues of equity, justice, and inclusion thoughtfully as core to the work.It explores Eurocentric ideas about colonisation, binary thinking, and "othering" through the diverse perspectives of each chapter's authors. Each chapter tackles an aspect of counselling practice that will be reframed offering a more inclusive and culturally responsive approach. These practices will draw on six core principles: 1) decolonising education in counselling and psychology, 2) intersectionality, 3) cultural humility, 4) self-awareness and critical reflection for therapists, 5) engagement and connection, and 6) activism.This textbook serves as a valuable resource for teachers, students, and practitioners of systemic practice, family therapy, clinical psychology, counselling, and psychotherapy, as well as for professionals in training.

Creative Interventions in Counselling and Psychotherapy
A Pluralistic and Humanist Approach
Häftad, Engelska, 2026
837 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This textbook provides a range of creative interventions underpinned by the pluralistic approach, addressing the gap in published texts on working creatively by adopting this approach in therapy. The pluralistic approach, established by Cooper and McLeod (2007, 2011), is grounded in humanistic principles, emphasises collaboration between the therapist and client and offers unique features built into the approach such as dialogical communication. The aim is to provide theoretical, pragmatic and practical guidance to therapists, trainers, supervisors, and students who wish to deliver the creative interventions provided in the text.The case studies included in the text focus on a range of client issues by using various creative interventions, indicating how each can positively change the client's world. Such changes range from step-by-step practical changes to a more fundamental phenomenological shift, reducing the client's emotional and psychological distress.Furthermore, this book differs from existing texts by providing guidance on using a range of creative interventions in online and face-to-face therapy and in clinical supervision, and by exploring group work, including therapeutic teaching contexts.Other unique features include structured and unstructured interventions linked to a collaborative way of working with clients (a central tenet of the pluralistic approach), which help increase self-esteem, develop personal autonomy, and decrease distress.

This book looks at therapeutic work with children and young people in ways which are distinct from pervasive mainstream conversations. Instead of being an intervention manual, this book focusses on the thought processes which practitioners in education and care settings undertake using vignettes and case studies. The book examines practice-related dilemmas as frequently from the perspective of the practitioner as the child, young person or their family. As such, it reflects the way in which the Mulberry Bush - an award-winning 75-year-old leading charity – functions, by outlining its psychodynamic, reflective and collaborative approach. Often the voice of practitioners (residential care staff, teachers and teaching assistants) is absent from books like this, despite being the individuals working directly with the children and families and whose experience are at the core, and so this title offers an innovative corrective.

Kommande
This textbook is an effort to bring together the current practices, values, attitudes and beliefs about counselling and therapeutic interventions in multicultural populations in Western countries. Although there has been an increased effort to understand the role of culture in counselling practice and therapeutic interventions, there is a dearth of research/ literature on multicultural populations outside the United States. To redress this, this book compares counselling and therapeutic models and practice with multicultural populations across different Western countries, highlighting the issues and challenges of therapeutic approaches and counselling theory and practice with minorities and sometimes governmental/political considerations in these countries. It explores the way forward regarding service delivery for the mental health of minorities in Western countries and the counselling and therapy they receive. The book is unique as it serves to share knowledge so that insights drawn from one country can be shared across all Western countries, as well as across the globe.
