    Eating disorders involve complex psychological processes linked to self-worth that may challenge many mental health and allied practitioners, no matter how experienced. It is a topic little taught in clinical practice, and much of the information on the subject can seem contradictory or even inaccurate. Yet it is vital when working with such a client to have a solid understanding of what helps people improve their relationship with food and feel good about their bodies and themselves.Based on extensive clinical experience and the latest evidence base, this new work from noted eating disorder specialist Dr Vivienne Lewis supports mental health practitioners who may be unsure how best to handle the issue in their daily practice. Throughout the book, clients' voices shine through in numerous brief real-life stories, illustrating the personal and practical impacts of eating disorders and successful recovery. It is relevant for psychologists, counsellors, nurses, youth workers, psychiatrists, doctors, dieticians and trainees and includes sections on:¿ Understanding complex client presentations.¿ Challenging common myths about eating disorders.¿ Structuring therapeutic sessions.¿ Motivating clients to change.¿ The importance of supervision.Clinical psychologist Dr Vivienne Lewis has spent more than 20 years in private practice and academia, specialising in treating people with eating disorders and training other health professionals. Her knowledge, skills and compassion have helped children, young people, and adults face and defeat the destructive mental and physical effects of eating disorders and improve body image. Vivienne knows the professional challenges of working with these clients well but also understands the reward for practitioners is seeing someone who is very unwell go on to live a healthy and fulfilling life.

    Life can be full of challenges rocking our boat so strongly that we risk drowning in a sea of stress and mental ill-health. That's why self-care is such a vital skill.Dr Nadine Hamilton has spent over 17 years in her speciality psychology practice helping professionals and businesses get on top of stress and psychological fatigue to avoid burnout, depression and self-harm. Her 2019 international best-seller Coping With Stress and Burnout as a Veterinarian targeted a profession with a suicide rate almost four times higher than the general population.Now, after two years of social, personal, and financial impacts from a global pandemic, she has found herself working with her clients (and herself) more and more on self-care - how to use self-understanding and practical psychological tools to attain and maintain better mental wellbeing.Time then, to release a new book to help anyone who is finding life at work and home a tough ask at times. Nadine gives us a clever guide to self-care covering topics such as setting boundaries, dealing with stress and anxiety, self-esteem, coping with grief, resilience, compassion fatigue, mentally healthy workplaces, and the imperative to build more hope and optimism into our daily lives.

    This treatment manual stems from a program developed by the mind-body team at The Children's Hospital at Westmead, a tertiary care paediatric hospital in New South Wales, Australia. The team's Mind-Body Program, organised as part of a consultation-liaison psychiatry service within the Department of Psychological Medicine, works with young people who present with functional somatic symptoms, including functional seizures. Also known as psychogenic non-epileptic seizures, stress seizures, or dissociative seizures, functional seizures are a subtype of functional neurological disorder. They are sudden, time-limited episodes of neural (brain) network dysregulation. Functional seizures can occur in young people who experience serious distress or high arousal, causing the neural pathways that support normal motor, sensory, interoceptive, emotional, and cognitive function to move into a state of overdrive. During a functional seizure, the young person typically experiences a loss of voluntary control of motor function, including shaking, jerking, twitching, loss of movement, or falling down (syncope/fainting-like episodes). The young person can also experience a change in consciousness - or even loss of consciousness - including zoning out, cognitive clouding, feeling weird or disconnected, or being unresponsive. This manual describes treatment interventions for functional seizures developed over the last 20 years through clinical trial and error, by translating research findings into clinical practice, and by evaluating treatment interventions through prospective cohort studies. It provides general guidelines, methods, and insights for clinicians as they approach the care of each individual patient. The goal of treatment is for young people to return to good health and to normal functioning and wellbeing.Therapists and other clinicians will need to adapt the ideas presented in this manual to their own specific clinical contexts - public or private; inpatient, day program, or outpatient; team-based or solo practitioner working alongside other professionals in the community - and also to the particular needs of the young people and families that they see. The manual is intended as a general template to be flexibly implemented, taking into account not just the needs of patients and families but the particular capacities and skills of the therapists and other clinicians providing the treatment.

    This book aims to help foster and kinship carers understand trauma and its impact on the vulnerable child they are caring for. It gives practical strategies for dealing with day-to-day care emergencies as well as more long-term solutions. It is not about medication; it's not about behaviour management plans, punishment, judgement, or diagnosis. It is about developing a carer's awareness, kindness, compassion, patience, strength, and education.

    The series St Andrews Studies in Philosophy and Public Affairs originates in the Centre for Ethics, Philosophy and Public Affairs, University of St Andrews and is under the general editorship of John Haldane. The series includes monographs, collections of essays and occasional anthologies of source material representing study in those areas of philosophy most relevant to topics of public importance, with the aim of advancing the contribution of philosophy in the discussion of these topics. In this volume, the author sets aside the usual division between theories of punishment that do or do not focus on retribution. In its place he proposes and explores the distinction between internalist and externalist theories. The final chapter discusses the deterrent value of punishment.

    The importance of learning fine motor skills early in childhood is well recognised as a major contributor to better adjustment at school. Children who feel comfortable and confident at home with everyday tasks such as tying shoelaces are able to deal better with the challenges of new learnings and social experiences that a classroom brings. In the words of one experienced educator, "Simple skills like the ability to hold a pencil correctly or cut with scissors underpin a child's whole schooling and attitude to learning." The Fingergym¿ Fine Motor Skills School Readiness Program was developed by experienced occupational therapy and education professionals in Australia to help young children become more independent in the classroom. Since 2006 it has been used across schools and early learning centres around the country and remains popular with educators for its unique fun-based motivational learning approach. The most common feedback from educators is how much the children and themselves enjoy the program. Fingergym is an evidence-based, group rotation program incorporating play-based learning to encourage problem-solving by "having a go", no matter what the outcome. In this way, children learn confidence and resilience in the classroom while mastering essential developmental skills. This program is a must-have for any preschool, kindergarten, prep, or primary educational setting. Fingergym¿ incorporates play-based learning to encourage problem-solving by "having a go", no matter what the outcome. In this way children learn confidence and resilience in the classroom while mastering essential developmental skills. Includes over 140 activities covering aspects such as strengthening, kinaesthesia, proprioception, spatial planning, eye-hand coordination, fine motor speed, letter and number formation, and cutting. Published as a book with downloadable resource files, Fingergym¿ is based on a firm theoretical background and comes with full instructions, customizable forms, printable templates and sheets, and a timed musical track to guide children through their activities. Helpful curriculum links to such areas as mathematics, science, language, reading, writing, and art allow integration of the program with teaching requirements.
