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. In this book, Windy Dryden outlines 23 steps that are divided into four parts: (1) the pre-conversation phase, (2) the beginning phase, (3) the middle phase and (4) the ending phase and beyond. 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. They won't use all these tools but they need to know where they are and when they can be used if needed. Windy Dryden is Emeritus Professor of Psychotherapeutic Studies at Goldsmiths University of London. His goal is to disseminate SST, or what he refers to as ONEplus Therapy. His latest book is Dryden, W. (2025). Single-Session Therapy: An Essential Companion. Onlinevents Publications.

The Towel
"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."

"Maslow" A genius who should be re-acquainted
What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.Humans do not find satisfaction merely by avoiding hardships and difficulties or by maintaining the status quo. They are interested in growth and have a desire to realize their full potential.Maslow's theory, emphasizing five levels of human needs from basic physiological needs to the highest need, self-actualization offers a clear roadmap of stages for personal growth and development that can serve as a guide for individual and social improvement. Physiological needs include the most fundamental biological requirements such as food, water, and sleep, without which survival is impossible. Once these needs are met, safety needs take precedence, encompassing the need for physical, job, and health security. Following these are social or belongingness needs, which emphasize social relationships and the feeling of belonging to social groups such as family and friends.

EMDR and Sexual Disorders
EMDR and Sexual Disorders provides fundamental guidelines for the treatment of sexual dysfunctions with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) within the conceptual framework of attachment theory.This book demonstrates how the EMDR method, which works specifically on the reprocessing of traumatic memories, can be used to addresses the overall well-being of the patient with the goal of restoring a state of 'sexual health'. The goal is not only the absence of dysfunctions and diseases but a general condition of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being. After a thorough examination of sexual pathologies and dysfunctions, the authors focus on the traumatic origin of sexual disorders, drawing on extensive clinical experience with victims of abuse and negative attachment stories. A clear and documented picture emerges of how EMDR can provide an innovative and effective contribution to the treatment of pathologies so closely connected to the patient's personal history. The book also introduces two new ground-breaking tools for practitioners: the EMDR protocol for individual sexual dysfunction and the EMDR protocol for sexual dysfunction within couples.This book offers key essentials to EMDR therapists and any health professional (psychologists, doctors, social workers etc.) who work in the field of sexology.

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.

Frontiers of Test Validity Theory
Now in its second edition, this important book examines test validity in the behavioral, social, and educational sciences by exploring three fundamental problems: measurement, causation, and meaning. Psychometric and philosophical perspectives and unresolved issues receive attention, as the authors explore how measurement is conceived from both the classical and modern perspectives.Split into three accessible sections, the first contrasts theories of measurement as applied to the validity of behavioral science measures, and the second considers causal theories of measurement as well as alternative theories of causation. The final section explores the meaning and interpretation of test scores as they apply to test validity, offering a conceptual overview of the field and its current state. Each carefully revised chapter begins with an overview of key theories and literature, concludes with a list of suggested readings, and features boxes with real-life situations that connect theory to practice. Examples of specific issues include: How tests can assess an attribute without measuring it. The role of values in test validity. Interpreting responses to the same question in different languages. Researchers, practitioners, and policy makers interested in test validity or developing tests will appreciate the book's cutting-edge review of test validity.
