Forensic Mental Health Practice and the Law
Forensic mental health professionals provide a range of services to courts, attorneys, law enforcement agencies, and correctional facilities. Yet despite the importance of understanding the law, most forensic mental health professionals do not have any formal legal training, which can make it challenging for them to develop a sufficient understanding of relevant legal cases, rules, and statutes. Forensic Mental Health Practice and the Law is an up-to-date, scholarly, and comprehensive primer that provides foundational knowledge about the laws most relevant to forensic practice. The authors address topics that are most applicable to forensic mental health professionals in their varied roles as clinicians, researchers, and consultants, including relevant court cases, statutes, court rules, administrative regulations, and ethical standards and guidelines. As they show, having knowledge of the legal system and relevant laws can lead to several benefits for forensic mental health professionals, including increased competence in performing forensic mental health assessments, conducting forensically relevant research, providing consultation to the legal system, and communicating results to legal decision-makers. To this end, the book offers discussion of exemplar state laws that differ markedly from federal law, examples of majority and minority approaches among the states to certain legal topics, and detailed tables that provide citations to the relevant laws in all 50 states.

How can she help them deal with trauma when they constantly live in trauma?

She emphasises the importance of creating a safe space for effective therapeutic work to happen and how to achieve this in a violent community. She describes how to help people create good support structures in their lives and how to seek support from each other. In a community where isolation is a means of survival, her book opens up the possibility to connect: to play with each other, to reach into each other's lives and build a way of creating a healthy community, to learn to forgive past hurts and to receive forgiveness, to embrace new potential, and to reach out and search for role models for guidance.

MDMA in Psychotherapy
The use of MDMA in psychotherapeutic contexts is not a new idea. As early as the 1970s and 1980s, individual therapists experimented with the entactogenic effects of the substance before it was largely suppressed worldwide by regulatory measures. However, in recent years, the picture has changed fundamentally: thanks to strictly controlled clinical trials, international approval procedures, and growing social openness, MDMA is now on its way to becoming an integral part of innovative mental health treatment concepts. This book focuses on the latest developments-scientifically sound, interdisciplinary, and written in a way that is easy to understand.It shows how MDMA is used in modern psychotherapy, which neurobiological and affective processes it activates, and why it can have surprisingly lasting effects, especially in therapy-resistant disorders such as PTSD. At the same time, the book addresses the ethical, legal, and socio-political challenges associated with the introduction of such a form of therapy.Particular attention is paid to the latest results from phase 3 studies, the therapeutic setting under MDMA, questions of integration into existing care systems, and the role of training and continuing education for MDMA therapists. This work provides the first structured overview that goes far beyond the historical or popular cultural engagement with MDMA, laying the foundation for a reflective debate about the future of a new generation of psychotherapeutic methods.Bremen University Press has published over 4,800 specialist books in various languages since 2005.1st edition 2025

EMDR and Family Therapy
Loss of a parent, separations, abuse, neglect, or a history of a difficult foster or orphanage experience can lead to profound emotional dysregulation in children. Working with these children can feel overwhelming for clinicians. But by integrating EMDR with family therapy, clinicians can strengthen parent-child attachment bonds and help to mend the early experiences that drive a traumatized child's behavior.This manual--an update to Debra Wesselmann's popular Integrative Team Treatment for Attachment Trauma in Children--provides clear, step-by-step application of the Integrative Attachment Protocol for Children (IATP-C). In this treatment, psychoeducation assists parents in developing trauma-informed responses to their children's challenging behaviors, while family therapy and EMDR therapy deepen children's bonds with parents; improve self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-worth; and assist children with making sense of their traumatic pasts. Any EMDR-trained clinician--or any clinician pairing with an EMDR therapist--can implement this treatment approach to heal suffering from attachment trauma and offer children and their families a better future.

Otto Rank and the Creation of Modern Psychotherapy
Once considered Sigmund Freud's designated heir, Otto Rank was an interdisciplinary thinker and prodigious author of twenty-two books. After being expelled from Freud's inner circle in 1926--due to Freud's opposition to the pre-Oedipal thesis of The Trauma of Birth (1924)--Rank had a highly productive life as a teacher, psychotherapist, and writer. In this book, noted Rank scholar Robert Kramer argues that Rank, not Freud, created modern psychotherapy, which focuses on the therapist-client relationship. Rank's "will therapy" and his teaching on relationship and the creative will impacted not only modern psychotherapy but also social work and existential psychology. His influence can particularly be seen in the work of Carl Rogers (Psychotherapy), Jessie Taft and Virginia Robinson (Social Work), and Rollo May and Irvin Yallom (Existential Psychology). A dazzling thinker, Rank influenced many artists and writers, including Samuel Beckett, Salvador Dal穩, Ana簿s Nin, Henry Miller, Betty Friedan, D. W. Winnicott, and, most significantly, Ernest Becker, Pulitzer prize-winning author of The Denial of Death (1973). Kramer argues that if the 20th century was the century of Freud, the 21st century is shaping up to be the century of Rank as no other psychoanalyst's theories have ever been tested with as much empirical rigor, and across so many different cultures, as those of Rank. This book translates Rank's complex thought into language any reader can grasp easily.

Child-Centred Music Therapy
This open access book draws on recent developments in children's rights, particularly concerning the child's right to participation, provision and protection. Since 1989, the UNCRC has become a catalogue of rights that expresses legal norms used by all countries in the world.
