Creativity Diagnostics
Creativity diagnostics is actually paradoxical and "an impossible task." It is neither plannable nor retrievable on demand, nor can it be prescribed with the motto: "Be spontaneous" or "Be creative!" All previous attempts to assess creative performance or behavior, for example through creativity tests using the criteria of "idea richness" and "idea diversity" under formal standardization rules (e.g. time limits) and norms, have mostly failed to meet expectations, whether in schools or in corporate aptitude diagnostics. At best, creativity could be demonstrated in the artistic-scientific field through work samples or "brilliant inventions." In day-to-day operations and workplaces, creativity is typically observable over a longer period, taking into account its usefulness and social acceptance. What "approaches" might be possible in psychological diagnostics to assess creativity, and what limitations they are subject to, is the topic of this "creative" article. Target groups Psychologists and HR experts in both academia and practice, as well as school educators and HR managers responsible for evaluating the creative performance of their employees.

Therapists' Sexual Feelings and Fantasies
This book offers a concise, practical guide to ethical and legal concerns related to therapists' sexual feelings and fantasies. The psychotherapy profession has always struggled to deal openly with therapists' sexual feelings. Between the often unavoidable fact of sexual attraction, and the potential crossing of boundaries and sexual relationships with clients, there exists a wide range of assumptions, beliefs, feelings, and daydreams that often are suppressed and unspoken--sometimes with devastating consequences. This candid, practical book addresses three distinct areas related to therapists' sexual feelings: sexual attractions to clients (including sexual fantasies, dreams, and arousal); the violation of sexual boundaries with clients (including consensual therapist-patient sexual involvement); and forensic issues, including therapists who testify in cases where therapist-patient sex is at issue. The authors offer an extensive review of widespread and changing approaches to this topic in the history of psychotherapy, alongside a comprehensive look at current standards and research findings. They also provide important information for fact and expert witnesses, examining the evolving ethical and legal standards surrounding sexual relationships between therapists and clients, and discuss how to respond to clients to report having been sexually involved with a prior therapist. Incisive reflection questions encourage readers to recognize and respond appropriately to their own feelings in the therapy room.

Concept of Emotional Disorder
Depression and anxiety are increasingly commonly diagnosed mental health conditions in modern society, but where does the boundary between ordinary emotional experiences and an emotional disorder lie? Do we over-pathologize emotional disorders as a society? Does the field of psychiatry do the same? Weighing in on this debate, Gloria Sibson Ayob investigates the concept of emotional disorder, analyses the grounds on which an emotional state can be said to be disordered, and examines judgements of emotional health and pathology. The Concept of Emotional Disorder considers the evolution-theoretic framework currently used to explore the concept of emotional disorder, and its limitations, and offers an alternative analysis anchored in a conceptual-anthropological framework. Understanding the place of emotions, especially distressing and unpleasant ones in our lives, is essential to the pathologizing debate. By highlighting the role human values and concerns play in shaping emotional disorder and introducing new considerations that are key to the concept of emotional disorder, Sibson Ayob enriches our understanding of the value of emotions in human life and their conceptual structure.

Schwartz, founder of Internal Family Systems Transform the way you relate to yourself and your mental health struggles with this clear and structured guide to Internal Family Systems (IFS), an evidence-based approach to parts work therapy.

Bring clarity and insight to your internal world by navigating it with step-by-step skills, exercises, and worksheets.Strategies for Common IFS Challenges. Learn to work with parts that keep you stuck in problematic cycles and offer compassion to deeply wounded parts. Transcripts of Self-Led IFS Sessions. See how an IFS clinician works with her own parts to address challenges like perfectionism, impulse control, and more."I am very grateful to my friend Tanis Allen for creating this clear, practical workbook for helping people access Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy on their own. Because she knows IFS so well, she not only offers very useful and easily followed exercises but also the important cautions and guidelines to make this powerful work safe.

Self-As-Context in Therapy

So how can you gain a deeper understanding of self-as-context as a behavior and learn practical interventions for empowering clients with this essential capacity? Self-as-Context in Therapy takes a challenging concept and translates it into an accessible, actionable process for helping clients cultivate a more flexible self and take valued action. You will start with an exploration of how the self develops, and the clinical implications of inhibiting factors in this process. You'll also learn about three useful aspects of experiencing our self--self-as-process, self-as-content, and self-as-context--and how to recognize when self-as-context work is beneficial in therapy. Finally, the book offers simple strategies to train clients in self-as-context, so they can integrate key lessons and techniques into their daily lives. With clear examples of how to apply self-as-context to common causes of suffering such as grief and loss, burnout, stress, addiction, depression, as well as the challenges of parenting and relationships, you will come away with concrete skills for helping clients improve their lives.

First Steps in Single-Session Therapy
This book is designed to be used by counsellors and therapists who are new to single-session therapy and who, having had some training in SST, wish to offer this mode of therapy delivery to their clients who are seeking help with specific problems.

While these steps have been presented logically, therapists do not have to use them in this order. The best way to use these steps is to view them as a handy person views their tools in a toolbox.
