This thought-provoking collection is written for all stakeholders in relation to autism and neurodivergent conditions. Despite having wide impact on a variety of disciplines, neurodiversity and related concepts are often poorly understood, which can lead to uninformed debate and potential tensions between stakeholders regarding service provision for those with neuro-developmental disabilities. The Neurodiveristy Reader brings together work from pioneering figures within and beyond the neurodiversity movement to critically explore its history, the concepts of neurodiversity that have shaped it, lived experiences, and how a better informed understanding might be translated into practice and service provision. Through a variety of accounts, the relevance and criticisms of these concepts in understanding ourselves and one another are examined, as well as important implications for practice. A primary text for support professionals and students of neurodivergent experiences and disability, as well as neurodivergent people themselves.

Despite the popularity of CBT, and the fact that it takes on average eight years to become accredited, there is a lack of clear, consistent career guidance. This can lead to confusion and misguided choices, adding years to the journey or causing people to feel stuck. Tackling this information shortage, The CBT Career Guide offers an overview of the various pathways and specific requirements regarding courses of study, and the relevant clinical experience needed to enter training. Following an introduction, the book is organized into three sections. Section 1 (' Attract' ) takes a broad look at the pathways to and requirements for becoming a CBT therapist. Section 2 (' Retain' ) offers advice on preparing for training and interviews, including how to craft applications to increase the chances of selection. Finally, Section 3 (' Develop' ) considers the career pathways that are available once accredited as a CBT therapist.

Personality disorders are categorised into three ' clusters', each containing several specific disorders with common characteristics that differentiate them from those contained in the other clusters. Schema therapy was developed primarily to manage and treat ' cluster B' personality disorders, especially borderline personality disorder, and it has a robust evidence base in this area. Research studies have shown that schema therapy is also an effective treatment for clients with ' cluster C' personality disorders - dependent personality disorder, avoidant personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder - but only if a number of important adaptations and adjustments to the treatment protocol are made. Written by well-known experts in the field, this is the first book to explore the theory and practice of using schema therapy to treat individuals with ' cluster C' personality disorders. Part of the Schema Therapy Approaches and Resources series, following the success of Chairwork, Imagery Rescripting and Schema Therapy: A Phase-Oriented Approach.

This book came about from the authors' experience working together in clinical learning disabilities services, and their work to move the focus away from the management of challenging behaviour and towards a trauma-informed, attachment-based approach to caring. It will introduce some of the key theories that have informed our understanding of the emotional development of people with intellectual disabilities and the importance of receiving love from an attachment figure from a young age, followed by case studies that focus on the lives of particular individuals - sometimes presented as individual therapy sessions and sometimes an overview of progress across many sessions. Whilst it describes work done by a psychology team in community health services, it is relevant to all health and social care professionals who help people with intellectual disabilities, as well as useful for advocates, service commissioners, families and healthcare generalists.

There is increased interest in trauma informed care in the UK and worldwide, however so far there are limited resources for professionals providing training to help health and social care staff (who may have had very little training in attachment theory) to provide care which is trauma informed at an emotional as well as practical level. The CaPLET Training Manual will guide facilitators in making the core psychodynamic concepts - which are relevant to providing trauma-informed care - accessible to health and social care staff. In addition, it will enable facilitators to help staff better understand the people they care for in the context of their histories of trauma and develop insight into the ways in which attending to their own emotional and behavioural responses can help them provide better care.

Tired of Anxiety is a step-by step guide for children on how to do the things that matter to them despite anxiety.

The text is presented in a visually appealing style, with frequent opportunities to engage with the material and a suite of supporting audio meditations.
