A Healing Relationship is about a relationally focused psychotherapy, how the author works, and why. The first couple of chapters provide a brief orientation to relationally focused aspects of an integrative psychotherapy. The heart of the book are the transaction-by-transaction examples of what actually occurred in the psychotherapeutic dialogue. It is composed of three verbatim transcripts along with annotations about what the author was thinking and feeling when he engaged in psychotherapy with each client. Many of the annotated comments as well as the actual therapeutic dialogue will describe some elements of the process of relationally focused psychotherapy and the reasoning behind his therapeutic comments, silences, and challenge. This book is intended to elicit a dialogue between the reader and the psychotherapist / author and is written as though a personal letter. Psychotherapy is such an interpersonal encounter - an intimate meeting of two souls. No two psychotherapists will ever do the same therapy, even with the same client, even if they use the same theory and methods. It is important to appreciate how each think about theories, the concepts that underlie the methods chosen, how each assess the therapeutic setting, and express personal temperament. Richard G. Erskine has taken an important step in communication about the practice of psychotherapy. Not only with this excellent book but also with video footage of the three therapy sessions, which will be made accessible to purchasers of the book. The overarching aim is to stimulate important conversations between colleagues; to both agree and disagree, to influence each other, to grow professionally, and to share knowledge.

At one time, Virginia Todd Holeman "Toddy" thought being biblically literate was all she needed and had little interest in what real theologians talked about. But in her counseling she found that clients pressed her for more.They didnt just want what she had gained through training in the best theories and practices available for counseling. They asked hard theological questions often related to their suffering. As she describes it, they experienced a kind of "theological disequilibrium . . . which left them discouraged, disoriented and often distraught."Holeman shows how deep and clear theological reflection can make a major difference in counseling practice. Not only can it shape who we are, it can also bring into greater alignment our theological commitments, our therapeutic practices and our professional ethics. All the while it can have the most practical effect on our counseling sessions. In this volume Holeman guides counseling students, pastoral counselors and licensed mental health professionals into becoming as well-formed theologically as they are trained clinically.Christian Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS) Books explore how Christianity relates to mental health and behavioral sciences including psychology, counseling, social work, and marriage and family therapy in order to equip Christian clinicians to support the well-being of their clients.

Discover Research as a Spiritually Formative Journey In counseling and psychology programs, students and educators alike often approach research with feelings of apprehension. Educators and researchers Kristen Kansiewicz and Paul Loosemore offer a different perspective. In Engaging in Counseling Research with Curiosity and Wisdom, they reveal how research is not only an essential element of mental health work but a unique invitation to curiosity, wisdom, and personal growth.Kansiewicz and Loosemore provide an integrative connection between Christian faith and the process of research. They unpack such topics as: how to engage ones whole self as a researcher different perspectives on knowledge and truth the importance of diversity in research applying research insights to the clinical setting Designed to accompany and enhance the primary curriculum in a research course, Engaging in Counseling Research with Curiosity and Wisdom: offers a Christian formation perspective of the research process. shows how to look at Scripture through a research lens and research through a biblical lens. includes discussion questions and classroom learning activities. contains inspiring ideas for teaching research courses. compliments CACREP curriculum. God created us to be explorers, filled with awe as we uncover truths all around. Everyone in the mental health professions can benefit from understanding what good research is and how they can engage their natural curiosity wisely in every phase of their work. Whether you are an educator, student, or professional in psychology, counseling, social work, or a similar profession, this resource empowers you to engage with research in a meaningful and faithful way.

Since the introduction of psychoanalysis, radical paradigm shifts have occurred in philosophy, science, mathematics, and the arts. How we exchange information, how we interact on the global stage, and how we conceive of ourselves as citizens have also evolved. And yet, depth psychotherapy remains locked within its nineteenth-century image, poorly understood by those not intimately involved in its processes. Lover, Exorcist, Critic dives deeply into the fields history, examining the cultural and historical context from which it emerged, and explaining how it evolved into a more vitalising methodology. Alan Michael Karbelnig exposes the inner workings of depth psychotherapy using the innovative perspective of three distinct social role analogies. As Lovers, psychoanalysts create a warm, accepting environment; as Exorcists, they receive, process, and deliver back projections; and, as Critics, they analyse, confront, and educate patients about self- and other-destructive patterns. These methods come to life in the rich descriptions of how psychoanalytic processes progressed with three fictional patients. Carlos, who suffered neglect and abuse during his childhood in East Los Angeles, struggled with the emotional intensity of depth psychotherapy and took months-long breaks when he felt too vulnerable. Gilda, a Greek-American woman sexually abused in her adolescence and traumatised by a physical attack in adulthood, grappled with periods of suicidal depression and episodic psychogenic fugue states. These severe symptoms made the psychotherapy process, at various times, difficult to contain. The final patient, Penn, an orthopaedic surgeon struggling with anxiety and over-achievement which left him exhausted, demonstrates the benefit gained by a person undergoing depth psychotherapy, intermittently, for more than two decades. Bravely exploring the failures alongside the successes, Dr. Karbelnig demonstrates the myriad ways psychoanalytic processes unfold and why they remain an effective, even vibrant way to reduce pain, grow, and live a more authentic life.

Elimination disorders (such as daytime wetting or soiling) are common in childhood. This manual presents a new and effective training program for children and adolescents with nocturnal enuresis, daytime urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, or a combination of these forms, who do not respond to standard measures. After discussing the different types of incontinence and comorbid psychological disorders, the expert team of authors (a psychotherapist, a pediatric nurse, a psychologist, and a psychiatrist) describe a 7-9 session program of bladder and bowel training, primarily for use in groups but which can also be used with individuals. The training encompasses psychoeducation, operant reinforcement, emotion regulation, and relaxation techniques all presented in a "child-friendly", playful manner. The manual itself is accompanied by a wealth of colorful, attractive, printable worksheets and other educational materials suitable for youngsters, which cover topics such as healthy drinking and eating habits, stress and emotion regulation, body perception, toilet training, and relaxation techniques. This manual is a superb resource for pediatricians, specialists in child and adolescent psychiatry, psychologists, nurses, urotherapists, and all other professionals looking for well-founded, hands-on guidance on treating children and adolescents with incontinence.

The biological and psychological basis of pet therapy / animal-assisted therapyand what this means for practice"A comprehensive, scientific foundation for human-animal therapy."(Judith Solomon)In recent years, the ancient symbiosis between humans and their pets has entereda new phase, marked by the burgeoning clinical specialty of human-animaltherapy. This approach uses the relationship between humans and their (mainly)mammalian pets to support the growth of emotion regulation, social skills, andmental health in children, adolescents, and adults.But how are humans and animals able to develop close bonds at all? What makesit possible for animals to have a therapeutic effect on humans? And how can webest use this understanding in animal-assisted therapy?In this unique book, a team of expert biologists and psychologists integrate andcombine sophisticated biological and psychological knowledge to answer thesequestions. Together they have created a comprehensive, scientific foundation forhuman-animal therapy, a foundation that will facilitate the development, implementation,and evaluation of effective new interventions.

The Physics of the Mind: New Perspectives for Psychotherapists, Healers, and Seekers is aimed at psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, healers, and anyone interested in the interface of physics and the mind. Both are interesting topics - even more so when combined. Phil Mollons expertise is within psychology and, over his long career, he came to realise the importance of physics to the field. In particular, the branches that place mind and consciousness in the foreground of how we might understand the universe and our place within it. There is a deep organising principle operating at all levels of the universe. It gives rise to life and is apparent within the human mind in dreams and creativity. A key lesson from quantum physics is that consciousness and the human mind are inextricably involved in the emergence of what we can observe and experience of our matter-based realm. In other words, the behaviour of the quantum realm is shaped by our observation of it. Just as we think of space-time as shaped by gravitational forces and massive bodies, so we can conceptualise mind-space. The latter contains mathematical correlithms of thought, emotion, and memory, whereby what is similar attracts more of the same in a manner analogous to gravity. These have effects within the mind and in the wider life-field. For example, severe and repeated childhood trauma creates the equivalent of black holes in the mind-space. Metaphysics posits that our matter-based universe is subtended within an infinite unified field of intelligence and creativity. We are contained within a vast mind. The principle is that unlimited guidance and knowledge is available via meditation and intuition, requiring only that we seek. It is never thrust upon us. This is a book filled with extraordinary ideas to dip into wherever curiosity and intuition lead. It is the authors fervent wish that what is within will stimulate thought and awareness, and spark continuing creative concepts concerning our place in this cosmos.

David Levine and Matthew Bowker explore cultural and political trends organized around the conviction that the world we live in is a dangerous place to be, that it is dominated by hate and destruction, and that in it our primary task is to survive by carrying on a life-long struggle against hostile forces. Their method involves the analysis of public fantasies to reveal their hidden meanings. The central fantasy explored is the fantasy of a destroyed world, which appears most commonly in the form of post-apocalyptic and dystopian narratives. Their special concern in the book is with defenses against the painful consequences of the dominance of this fantasy in the inner world, especially defenses involving the use of guilt to assure that something can be done to repair the destroyed world. Topics explored include: the formation of internal fortresses and their projection into the world outside, forms of guilt including bystander guilt and survivor guilt, the loss of and search for home, and manic forms of reparation.

Honesty is important in any relationship but within psychotherapy, honesty takes on a different dimension. The impact of speaking the truth has many repercussions to the therapeutic relationship and may harm the perception of the therapist in the eyes of the client or the relationship in its entirety. Thus, what are the limits of what a therapist can therapeutically share with a client? What are the implications of the therapist choosing to conceal what they congruently experience? Have therapists in the past been more able and more willing to tell the truth with their clients? Rob Hill engages with these and many more questions, which lead into related territories - those of shame, power, love and hate, narcissism, intersubjectivity and madness - and invites the reader to consider them from a fresh perspective. Presented in essay form interspersed with stories which focus on Hills inner reactions to working with various clients, the book seeks to evoke curiosity and contemplation rather than definitive answers. Using language that is personalised and immediate rather than academic and abstract, Hill hopes to engage all therapists, including those who rarely read academic and research literature. Telling the Truth is an enjoyable, thought-provoking, and accessible read that raises many important ideas. Rob Hills own honesty, insight, and openness in addressing this important topic makes this essential reading for practising therapists.

The global mental health crisis is growing faster than our existing mental health care system can address. To meet the scope of human need, we need new models of care. The good news is that there is an institution uniquely positioned with the resources and the heart to help: the church.Psychologists James Sells and Amy Trout and journalist Heather Sells know firsthand the urgency of the situationbut they have also witnessed creative partnerships between churches and mental health professionals springing up across the United States. In this book, they call clinicians, students, and educators to collaborate with churches and lay leaders to envision and then create innovative solutions in their own communities.Challenging the dominance of the traditional "clinical hour" as a one-size-has-to-fit-all model, Sells, Trout, and Sells give concrete guidance on how mental health professionals can work with churches to provide consultation, train lay leaders, and develop and evaluate programs to expand a continuum of care. They also explore the skills, theological foundations, and research-based knowledge that both Christian counselors and church leaders need to integrate their spheres of expertise.Both a call to action and an encouraging roadmap, this book charts the way forward for combining the science of the mental health discipline with the service of Christian ministry.Christian Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS) Books explore how Christianity relates to mental health and behavioral sciences including psychology, counseling, social work, and marriage and family therapy in order to equip Christian clinicians to support the well-being of their clients.

Jean Benjamin Stora has worked as a psychoanalyst and psychosomatist for almost five decades. The aim of integrative psychosomatics is to heal the body and mind in relationship to one another rather than treating the body as a machine with parts to be fixed. Thus, Stora explores a patients current and past life history in relation to physical illness and offers therapeutic support alongside medical treatments. To better understand this revolutionary approach, Stora presents fifteen case studies from the past twenty years. We read of George suffering from hyperlipidemia; Giles, a diabetic facing amputation; Elvira, an alcoholic; Dorothy, who complains the doctors treat body parts but not her; Beatrice facing a reappearance of breast cancer; and ten further patients. This complex process takes into account the fundamental role of the central nervous system in the relationship of mind and body. Thus, neuroscience is a key component of this holistic approach, as well as the new discipline of neuropsychoanalysis. This is most clearly shown in the case of Emma, suffering after brain surgery. The Psychosomatic Therapy Casebook is an excellent introduction to integrative psychosomatics. The stories presented in the first four chapters can be read by anyone with an interest in the subject. The fifth and final chapter is aimed at psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, and doctors looking to gain a greater understanding of the practice. It contains a comprehensive review of the technical points involved and clearly shows the difference between psychoanalytic technique and the technique of psychosomatic therapy. This is an important book in learning to treat the person as a whole rather than split into mind and body.
