Finding the Valuable Person
Finding the Valuable Person proposes a new form of therapy. The big theme is that experiences of being devalued when we are not seen or heard, diminished or suffer indignities evoke responses that show up in distress clients bring. These reactions show a prime human need for our personhood to be valuable and validated that generates soul-hungers (for connection, desire, significance, and hope) that are largely unconscious. It is a fundamental drive that can be explored with clients in the way we are relational, embodied makers of meaning and respond to agency and dignity. This constitutes four domains of the REMA approach to therapy developed in this book. Every counseling approach has its presuppositions: most describe the human person as an individual entity, separated from social context. REMA pays attention to both. REMA is theologically attuned but also incorporates realities such as gender and race that have reshaped society profoundly. For the alignment of biblical faith and counseling psychology, it is profoundly important to be attuned in both directions. REMA is not only an innovative theoretical approach, it is a working model, currently offered in a community setting but of wider application. Anyone can use it!

Mentoring with a Coaching Attitude
Mentoring is today where coaching was fifteen years ago. Increasingly companies have understood its usefulness, with the transfer of knowledge between generations of managers and the impact of leadership on a company's values. Yet very few people really know what modern mentoring is, as a learning alliance between an experienced leader and a less-experienced leader where each participant benefits from an open approach to learning. To create a successful environment for mentoring it is essential to improve the core competencies involved; active listening, impactful questioning, providing feedback and leading to experimentation and action.The book is intended to be both practical and theoretical so that it can be used in both academic and corporate settings. It is the result of a collaboration between mentors from four continents. Three editors - Sylviane Cannio (Belgium), Cicero Carvalho (Brazil/Canada) and Fisher Yu (China), together with fifteen leading mentoring professionals from across the globe make the book particularly interesting and unique.
A Cultural Humility and Social Justice Approach to Psychotherapy
Achieving effectiveness of evidence-based psychotherapy across a diversity of patients continues to be a foremost concern, and many training programs and professional societies in clinical psychology are at a loss as to how to systematically approach this issue. In A Cultural Humility and Social Justice Approach to Psychotherapy, Anu Asnaani provides an applied guide for working with clients from a diverse set of intersectional identities within the context of evidence-based practice. Drawing on her extensive clinical experience with a range of clients and therapy protocols/approaches, her active and ongoing research program in addressing health disparities, and considerable work in training clinicians across practice settings to incorporate diversity perspectives into treatment, Asnaani presents practical ways to engage in culturally humble, socially just clinical practice. Guidelines are derived from the consensus across published literature and established practice, and cover the full trajectory of treatment, from assessment through to relapse prevention; the book further offers some considerations for adopting these principles within the context of clinical supervision. Suitable for a broad range of mental health practitioners providing evidence-based clinical care for individuals with psychological disorders, this book provides worksheets, reflection exercises, and short-hand figures, making these concepts as easy-to-use in clinical practice as possible.

Walk and Talk Therapy
Feeling restricted by her office-bound clinical practice, licensed clinical social worker Jen Udler decided to take therapy outdoors. Walking on local nature trails with her clients proved to be the breakthrough Jen was looking for. The calming presence of nature provided a rich and varied backdrop for every therapy session, offering natural metaphors for each client's experience, while the rhythmic movement cultivated deeper connections between mind and body.

Helping Adults to Grow Up
This book presents Stage Climbing, an innovative seven stage developmental model as a new tool to help practitioners recognize cognitions, attitudes and behaviors-- typical of different life stages and thus levels of maturity-- in order to select the most effective treatment interventions with adult clients. It is the first book to integrate cognitive behavioral (CBT) concepts into the entire human development spectrum for any area of life that clients choose to work on. It demonstrates how resistance to change can reflect thinking and behavioral patterns that are characteristic of earlier developmental stages. It also presents a model of maturity along with treatment strategies and action steps to motivate change, as well as reactivate a client's natural and organic maturation process. Practitioners at all levels from diverse disciplines and modalities will learn to assess how, why, and where clients are "stuck" developmentally. This volume offers practitioners, whotreat individuals, couples and/or families a psychologically integrated road map that guides clients to take responsibility for living their best life, by removing self-created obstacles which prevent this from occurring naturally. The integration of the most robust aspects of psychodynamics, developmental psychology, and cognitive behavioral therapy will help the field continue to evolve, by providing state of the art interventions to help clients make mature and healthy changes in their lives. All mental health practitioners, regardless of their therapeutic orientations can use the strategies in this book to assess the underlying core belief patterns of clients at each life stage, and apply appropriate interventions to challenge self-defeating beliefs, and proactively work on agreed upon desired outcomes.

Resilience in the Team
This essential provides insights into approaches, procedures and ideas on how resilience, understood as resistance, can be promoted and implemented in a team. Most of the time, these concepts are only applied to individuals. But many of the findings from resilience research can be transferred to teams and even extended. Today, resilience is also playing an increasingly important role in teams: whether it is to strengthen the sense of coherence according to Antonovsky's principle of salutogenesis, or to consider other resilience factors that support team capability
Social Justice and Systemic Family Therapy Training
The book examines the lived experiences of systemic family therapy educators. It addresses the issues of power and justice that they face in family therapy training programs, including their teaching experiences with students, interactions with faculty, and challenges within academic institutions. It describes how family therapy programs attempt to incorporate cultural awareness with mixed results (e.g., focusing only on how to work with diverse clients or not supporting faculty from across social locations). The book explores the ways in which family therapy educators with intersecting marginalized identities continue to be oppressed across different areas of academia.The book addresses issues of power that systemic family therapy educators face within the academia itself at three different levels: Personal interactions with students that create more complete understanding of issues of power.Professional interactions with colleagues that provide support and accountability.Political interventions aimed at changing the larger academic institution.Chapters focus on countering unjust practices in academic settings. Authors reflect on personal experiences across these three levels and, then, offer concrete suggestions for intervention. These include teaching experiences or meaningful interactions with students that support empowerment or increased awareness; relationships with colleagues that promote accountability and growth; and needed changes or challenges to the larger structure of academia.Social Justice and Systemic Family Therapy Training is an essential resource for clinicians, therapists, and practitioners as well as researchers, professors, and graduate students in family studies, clinical psychology, and public health as well as all interrelated disciplines.

Processing Emotional Pain using Emotion Focused Therapy
Emotional pain is part of most people's reality. For some of us though, that pain can begin to impact on our ability to function in our everyday life. Despite years of valiant attempts to resolve or deny such pain, we may continue to suffer.Before her untimely death early in 2021, Dr Melissa Harte had experienced her own journey through emotional pain that led her eventually to become a counseling psychologist and an internationally accredited Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) trainer. She spent years teaching hundreds of therapists how to use EFT as well as running her own thriving private practice.The legacy of her considerable skill and knowledge remains in this book which sets out a framework and model that works gently, effectively and deeply to assist in reversing the psychological, emotional, spiritual and physical damage of unresolved emotional pain. Applicable to a range of practitioners including counsellors and psychologists, this book will help you to help your clients whose emotional pain may be attachment-related, be a single episode, a series of major trauma experiences, or the culmination of many so-called 'small t trauma' events.This is a 'how-to' book, presenting techniques and concepts to assist practitioners, including investigating the use of the impacts of trauma case studies - an area until very recently often overlooked or minimised when formalising case histories. Chapters also address: The dilemma with the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).The value of understanding the importance of emotions and how, as adaptive experiences, they provide essential information that can assist us in our daily lives.The concept of emotional pain and how to work through it with an extended version of the focusing task, including the influences that helped to shape the task and its significant components.The challenges around identifying dissociation and how to manage it.The use of chair work as another element of working through emotional pain.At Melissa's request, all royalties from sales of her book will go to the Australian Institute for Emotion Focused Therapy.
Narrative Practices and Emotions
Narrative therapy has the potential to help clients understand their challenges as separate from their selves, shifting the focus to their inner strengths when managing a problem. Narrative Practices and Emotions provides a fresh perspective for new and experienced practitioners alike on how to combine classic narrative therapy with the latest scholarship on the mind-body connection.Authors Marie-Nathalie Beaudoin and Gerald Monk tap into cutting edge discoveries on mindfulness, interpersonal neurobiology, and positive psychology. Each chapter offers a wealth of clinical questions and embodied exercises, while "conversation maps"--which provide important guideposts to practitioners--are illustrated with engaging transcripts of therapeutic work. These compelling case studies elegantly demonstrate how skillful conversations can invigorate hope and support personal development. Readers will discover a wide variety of ways to assist clients of all ages in reengaging with a meaningful life and sustaining well-being.
Healing Relational Trauma Workbook
Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) is an attachment-focused treatment for children and adolescents who have experienced abuse and neglect and are now living in stable foster and adoptive families. Here, Daniel Hughes and Kim S. Golding provide a practical accompaniment to their highly successful DDP text coauthored with Julie Hudson, Healing Relational Trauma with Attachment-Focused Interventions (2019).In this workbook, practitioners are invited to reflect on their experience of implementing the DDP model through discussion, examples, and reflection prompts. Readers are encouraged to consider the diversity of both practitioners and those receiving DDP interventions, and how each unique individual's identity can be embraced within the application of DDP interventions. DDP can be practiced as a therapy, a parenting approach, and as a practice approach for those working within healthcare, social care, or education, and this workbook is an invaluable resource for readers who fall into any one of these roles.
When the Subject Is Rape
Rape is, unfortunately, an all-too-common violent crime usually perpetrated against women. For victims, the process of sharing information about an assault with loves ones or reporting the crime to the police can be harrowing, embarrassing, and painful. The responses of others can greatly affect the way a rape survivor copes. Often the men who are closest to rape survivors-intimate partners, friends, and family members-are simply unprepared to offer the right assistance. The wrong word or action may trigger an unexpected reaction. Written by Alan W. McEvoy, PhD, When the Subject Is Rape is designed specifically to illustrate the role men can play as allies in a woman's recovery from rape. This book examines the many aspects of rape. It looks at both the short- and long-term emotional and psychological impacts rape can have on a woman, what she can expect during the prosecution of her rapist, and strategies that can help her to recover from the assault. It discusses how the men in her life should communicate with her and address her needs throughout her recovery, and describes how they should conduct themselves to avoid unintentionally causing her more pain. It also explains how to identify changes in behavior that may signal an undisclosed rape. Even if a rape goes unreported, both the emotional consequences and the need for support throughout the recovery process will still be present. Rape is not an easy subject to discuss. Sexual violence can radically alter the course of a woman's life. By understanding the trauma associated with rape and other forms of sexual assault, men can play an important part in a woman's healing process. When the Subject Is Rape provides information that can help men to create a climate of support for the empowerment of women who are on the path to recovery.
