- A guide to safely working with and resolving emotional injuries and trauma
330,95 kr. Emotional pain is part of most people's reality. For some of us though, that pain can begin to impact on our ability to function in our everyday life. Despite years of valiant attempts to resolve or deny such pain, we may continue to suffer.Before her untimely death early in 2021, Dr Melissa Harte had experienced her own journey through emotional pain that led her eventually to become a counseling psychologist and an internationally accredited Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) trainer. She spent years teaching hundreds of therapists how to use EFT as well as running her own thriving private practice.The legacy of her considerable skill and knowledge remains in this book which sets out a framework and model that works gently, effectively and deeply to assist in reversing the psychological, emotional, spiritual and physical damage of unresolved emotional pain.Applicable to a range of practitioners including counsellors and psychologists, this book will help you to help your clients whose emotional pain may be attachment-related, be a single episode, a series of major trauma experiences, or the culmination of many so-called 'small t trauma' events.This is a 'how-to' book, presenting techniques and concepts to assist practitioners, including investigating the use of the impacts of trauma case studies - an area until very recently often overlooked or minimised when formalising case histories.Chapters also address: The dilemma with the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The value of understanding the importance of emotions and how, as adaptive experiences, they provide essential information that can assist us in our daily lives. The concept of emotional pain and how to work through it with an extended version of the focusing task, including the influences that helped to shape the task and its significant components. The challenges around identifying dissociation and how to manage it. The use of chair work as another element of working through emotional pain.At Melissa's request, all royalties from sales of her book will go to the Australian Institute for Emotion Focused Therapy.

- A Clinician Guide to the Psychological Management of Young People with Cancer
332,95 kr. This book is a must read for any psychologist, psychiatrist, therapist or counsellor dealing with a young client undergoing cancer treatment. A cancer diagnosis can profoundly affect a young person's psychological, emotional, developmental and cognitive functioning. The environment in which they find themselves is unpredictable and burdened by challenging decisions. It is vital therefore that no matter what your therapeutic approach, you are able to identify the normal reactions that young people and their families experience when dealing with their cancer, both while treatment is happening and when it is completed. This will enable you to better tailor your therapeutic interventions and manage your client's psychological symptoms. A strong clinical focus throughout the text provides guidance and structure, showing how to work effectively with young people through learning the language of cancer diagnosis and treatment so that the therapeutic skills you already possess are translatable to cancer-related issues. Through the use of composite case studies, examples, and clinical guides, Toni Lindsay brings her many years of experience working with young people and their families into a practical and insightful guide to upskill even the most senior of clinicians. She explores the clinical implications of treatment, diagnosis, survivorship and end of life, and the way that young people experience and negotiate their way through such adversity.

593,95 kr. The professional tasks of those who provide therapy are multidimensional and complex, just as those who conduct therapy come from multiple disciplines. Counsellors, psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, and in some instances nurses, educators, clergy, life coaches, and pastoral carers all engage in psychologically therapeutic activities.Without the support and encouragement of colleagues these essential professionals run the risk of suffering a range of factors affecting their roles, including compassion fatigue, burnout, and stagnating professional development. Thus, the need to be involved with ongoing supervision is essential.First published in 2009, The Practice of Clinical Supervision quickly proved itself as the leading state-of-the-art text for supervision training of a range of clinical therapists. In this new and expanded edition, The Practice of Counselling and Clinical Supervision now comprehensively covers the entire range of professional, personal and organisational issues that need to be addressed to ensure quality supervision for both counsellors and clinicians. With a global focus and an impressive list of 16 experienced contributors from Australia, Canada and the US, this book provides a wealth of practical information, advice, theory, research evidence, and essential training for supervisors.Five themes are covered through 19 chapters:The Introduction section explores major issues associated with therapists accessing and providing professional clinical and counselling supervision.The Professional Issues section looks at different supervision-related domains in a contemporary context.The Approaches section enables both trainees and supervisors to re-examine the important role of the working alliance in facilitating change through supervisory encounters while exploring the major models and processes used to enhance learning.The People section examines personal dimensions of clinical supervision such as relationships, modes of supervision practice, and supervisor development and training.The Evaluation section provides both general and specific information about the often unnerving and complex issue of evaluation.
