Deliberate Practice in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy
Deliberate practice exercises help trainees achieve competence in essential accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy skills and apply them in a variety of contexts while honing their own personal style. These exercises present role-playing scenarios in which two trainees act as a client and a therapist, switching back and forth under the guidance of a supervisor. The therapist improvises appropriate and authentic responses to client statements organized into three difficulty levels--beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Each of the first 12 exercises focuses on a single skill to help clients access core emotions, process past traumas, and build secure attachments. The skills include moment-to-moment tracking, validating and reframing anxieties and defenses, and initiating portrayals (i.e., speaking to an imagined other or self). Two comprehensive exercises follow in which trainees integrate these skills into a single session. Step-by-step instructions guide participants through the exercises, identify criteria for mastering the skills, and explain how to monitor and adjust difficulty. Guidelines to help trainers and trainees get the most out of training are also provided.

The Psychology of Revolution
The Psychology of Revolution is a French history and social psychology book by Gustav Le Bon that features the following excerpt: A discussion of the psychology of revolution in general, religious or political, and the mental and emotional characteristics of the leaders of such movements, with special consideration of the French revolution. The examples of revolutionary movements are preferably chosen from French history, but universal history is also drawn upon, including the political upheavals in Portugal, China, and Turkey. The present age is not merely an epoch of discovery; it is also a period of revision of the various elements of knowledge. Having recognised that there are no phenomena of which the first cause is still accessible, science has resumed the examination of her ancient certitudes, and has proved their fragility. To-day she sees her ancient principles vanishing one by one. Mechanics is losing its axioms, and matter, formerly the eternal substratum of the worlds, becomes a simple aggregate of ephemeral forces in transitory condensation.
The 'Natural Light' of Consciousness
The book is about living consciousness: private subjective experience, which conforms to the laws of magic.

Using Postmodern and Poststructural Approaches in Applied Research
Politicians Manipulating Statistics
Highly original and insightful, Billig and Marinho's book investigates how politicians misuse official statistics. Setting this problem in its historical context - and offering vivid case studies of Donald Trump, Boris Johnson and G矇rald Darmanin - the authors demonstrate that the manipulation of statistics involves the misuse of words as well as the misuse of numbers. Most importantly, the authors show that politicians will manipulate official statisticians to produce politically convenient, but statistically inappropriate, numbers. Another unique part of the book is that the authors are not content with analysing how statistics are manipulated, but they also rigorously analyse the efforts of statistical agencies in France and Britain to combat such manipulation. The chapters herald unsung heroes who operate largely 'behind the scenes' to expose and oppose the corruption of statistics. An indispensable read for anyone concerned with the intersection of power and data.

Let's Take The Crap Out of Psychotherapy
Are you confident you will get good mental health treatment if you need it?As a practitioner are you sure you offer a good service? If yes, you may find some of your assumptions will be blown-up in this book Why is world mental health declining, even as we focus more on treating mental illness? In this book I expose the myths in the mental health model that: Trap us into negative beliefs about our mindInhibit our capacity for resilience and recoveryTell us diagnoses cannot be changed-are for lifeIs supported by industries structured to perpetuate the continuation of the status quoPsychotherapy is and must be a slow processMy 25 years of experience of working with individuals as a psychotherapist has shown me the opposite. I've found most of us have the capacity for awareness, growth and recovery.I know that a wide spectrum of relationships, disturbances and trauma may be resolved: By being processed at causeWith accurate, brief, solution-focused approachesBy present-day approaches that utilise mind-science, neuroscience and epigeneticsTo facilitate awareness, growth and efficient processing for fast recoveriesThe purpose of this book is to let you know there are more efficient ways of working with the mind. I know I'm not alone in this quest as my work rests on the shoulders of masters in joining them in 'breaking rank' with the Mental Health system, in speaking out. Whether we question traditional mental illness treatments as practitioners, or as those seeking assistance, what develops from here rests with each of us, in the choices we make and most of all, in what we do.It's time for a radicle change to our mental health system.

Black Poetic Inquiry
The poems in this project were written within a 24-hour period of each other and are presented in order of their appearance.Written as a call and response to each other, the poems are at times direct responses in content and form, or a mediation on what the offering triggered in the other. Using poetry writing as a methodological engagement with the reflective and reflexive attributes of autoethnography, this project offers an examination of lived experience and will provide a critical expansion of poetic inquiry. An example of 'collaborative spirit-writing', this text uses a dialogical exchange of responsiveness, excavating the lived experiences of the two authors (a Black man and a Black woman) with complex intersectional identities.

Operationism in Psychology
Analyzes psychological research to offer insights into how methodological and ontological questions are intertwined. Psychology has seen an intense debate about the lack of replicability of results in recent years. Uljana Feest uses history and philosophy of science to shed light on the nature of experiment in psychology in general, but her aim reaches beyond debates about replication to provide a novel and comprehensive analysis of the investigative process in experimental psychology. She shows that the central unit of analysis for our epistemological considerations of psychological research should be not theories but, rather, concepts. Her guiding question is: How do psychological concepts figure in the experimental exploration of the objects of psychological research? For Feest, this question has two intertwined aspects: What role do concepts play in the design of experiments and the production of data, and how can concepts be revised or adapted in response to experimental results. Following the historical trajectory of debates about operationism in psychology, she argues that this debate was not concerned with philosophical theories of meaning but, instead, closely connected to the investigative practices of experimental psychologists. The book offers a broad analytical framework for thinking philosophically about the investigative process in psychology, including analyses of the relationship between data and phenomena in psychology, the relationship between folk- and scientific psychological concepts, the relationship between genuine results and experimental artifacts, and the nature and exploration of psychological kinds.
