The Self-Led Internal Family Systems Workbook
A self-guided workbook to lead yourself through the IFS process and create inner harmony and peace, as endorsed by Dr. Richard C. 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.

Developed by a veteran IFS clinician who has lived, practiced, and trained others on the IFS model for more than 25 years, The Self-Led Internal Family Systems Workbook can help you connect to your true, authentic Self--which is always inside of you, ready to lead--so you can meet your internal family of parts, respond compassionately when they're activated, and send them healing energy when they need it.

Move through the IFS practice at your own speed and comfort level using IFS skills that have been adapted for beginners.Clear and Structured Approach. 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
Gain a deeper understanding of self-as-context, learn practical interventions, and help your clients thrive.Self-as-context is one of the most important of the six core processes of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), yet it is also one of the least understood.

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. If you're looking for resources to help your clients embrace new possibilities and move toward a life more deeply aligned with their values, this comprehensive guide can help you get started.

"Lucille Proulx has a tremendous life energy, and she has written this memoir very much in her own voice. It is conversational, full of insight and natural observations. She is very unassuming and adventurous. I love her movement of connections to geese and elephants and how she speaks of painting as a lifesaver and a life giver. The paintings and process in which she discusses and reflects on her life are evocative and a fascinating exploration of free association and art therapy. Lucille is a pioneer in art therapy in many ways and has lived a full and creative life!" Monica Carpendale, Artist, Art Therapist. "Follow along with Lucille as she explores her long and remarkable life through a series of her art productions. Join her as she navigates a chaotic marriage while living far from her family and friends, then begins university at the age of 50 as a single mother with four of her eight children still living at home. Lucille earns two bachelor's degrees and a master's degree while juggling commuting, studying and raising children, all with very limited finances. At the age of 72 she moves to Bangkok, Thailand, to live and work for three years as an art therapist at the Center for the Protection of Children's Rights Foundation. This is the story of a unique and creative woman's life, a 'woman of her times, that interweaves professional, social, political and cultural history, as well as Lucille's art, throughout."

Expanding the Limits of Individual and Family Therapies
This book invites individual therapists to think systemically (including issues of social justice) and family therapists to explore a deeper understanding of the individual in contexts, including the domain of the unconscious. Using a critical realist framework, it promotes multiple perspectives-often novel combinations from dissimilar psychotherapy traditions-to expand holistic understanding and provide a richer variety of resources to bring to co-constructed therapeutic encounters. It uses a critical examination of the often-unspoken philosophical underpinnings of psychotherapy practices to re-vision a range of theory and practice considerations-theory choice, the role of science, knowing and not-knowing, emotion in the system, power and autonomy, collaboration and change, and sameness and otherness. All the preceding elements of the book are then brought together in the clinical topics of triangulation, aggressive out-of-control behaviour, and self-harm. Numerous brief case vignettes and longer case examples ensure that theory is always grounded in practice.

Art of Psychotherapy
The Art of Psychotherapy: A Clinical Psychologist's Guide examines the creative, nuanced, multi-faceted, human side of psychotherapy that can be the difference between a therapy being beneficial or not. Using information from current research and case studies and techniques from her over thirty years as a clinical psychologist, Gamsa makes a strong case for psychotherapy being a "dance" with the client: once the therapist masters the dance steps (theory-based practices), they can improvise and respond to the leads provided by their partner (client). To support this "dance", The Art of Psychotherapy covers important topics such as communication skills, building a therapeutic alliance, and understanding a client's defences. In addition, this guide offers useful tools such as templates for an initial assessment and tracking therapy goals, as well as specific examples of imagery that can be used in therapy to better connect with the client. Both insightful and practical, this book is a powerful resource for psychologists in training, new therapists beginning their practice, and the more experienced therapist looking to fine tune their skills and optimize their practice.
