In ANOTHER WAY OF SEEING, Peter Gabel argues that our most
fundamental spiritual need as human beings is the desire for
authentic mutual recognition. Because we live in a world in which
this desire is systematically denied due to the legacy of fear of
the other that has been passed on from generation to generation, we
exist as what he calls "withdrawn selves," perceiving the other as
a threat rather than as the source of our completion as social
beings. Calling for a new kind of "spiritual activism" that speaks
to this universal interpersonal longing, Gabel shows how we can
transform law, politics, public policy, and culture so as to build
a new social movement through which we become more fully present to
each other-creating a new "parallel universe" existing alongside
our socially separated world and reaffirming the social bond that
inherently unites us. "Peter Gabel is one of the grand prophetic
voices in our day. He also is a long-distance runner in the
struggle for justice. Don't miss this book " -Cornel West, The
Class of 1943 Professor, Princeton University, and Professor of
Philosophy and Christian Practice, Union Theological Seminary
"Peter Gabel has delivered a set of unmatched phenomenological
analyses of the profound alienation that pervades everyday life in
America in the early 21st century. His insightful descriptions of
the way things really are challenge us to open our eyes, minds and
hearts to our own and one another's deepest longings, and together,
to bring one another back home. ... Like a pick axe thrown ahead to
anchor us all, to paraphrase one of his most evocative images,
Gabel's polemic teaches and inspires us to 'think with our hearts,
' to genuinely and confidently love ourselves and our brothers and
sisters on this very planet Earth, to lift ourselves and one
another on the strength of our authentic Presence, and to move
things forward together. Now." -Rhonda V. Magee, Professor of Law,
University of San Francisco

When clients are stuck in the cognitive experience of their story,
an explanation of polyvagal theory helps to bring their attention
to the autonomic experience-to bring the importance of the biology
of their experience back into awareness. Yet polyvagal theory can
be challenging and intimidating to explain. This flip chart offers
therapists an easy, standardised way to support clients in
understanding the role of the autonomic nervous system in their
lives. Using a flip chart makes psycho-education an interactive
experience. Therapists can feel confident in teaching their clients
polyvagal theory by following the chart. With a flip chart visible
during sessions, the therapist can: remind clients of the ways the
autonomic nervous system has been shaped and is active in their
daily living experience, display a page corresponding to the
present moment, thus anchoring that experience in the theory and
keep a page of the hierarchy visible when working with a client's
habitual response pattern.

What if you found yourself working for an intelligence agency and
suddenly your understanding of other human beings had become a
matter of life or death? Yair Neuman draws us into a unique thought
experiment, using portraits from some of Shakespeare's most
stirring works to illustrate how our psychological understanding of
human nature can be significantly enriched through literature.
Provocative and engaging, Shakespeare for the Intelligence Agent:
Toward Understanding Real Personalities invites you to a
challenging, enjoyable, and in many cases humorous reading of human
personality through Shakespeare's plays.
Clinicians working with traumatized youth face many challenges in
supporting growth and development while addressing the many
negative consequences of abuse and neglect. When working with youth
in foster care, additional obstacles must be overcome: changing
placements, overwhelmed substitute caregivers, caseworker turnover,
complication with birth siblings and family, and communication
difficulties with and within the child welfare system. Treating
Trauma: Relationship-Based Psychotherapy with Children,
Adolescents, and Young Adults presents a theoretically based and
empirically supported framework for work with traumatized children,
youth, and young adults who have spent time in foster care. It
offers vivid examples of cases from the work of clinicians of A
Home Within, a national non-profit focused on meeting the emotional
needs of current and former foster youth. These nine case studies
illustrate the vital role that relationships play in helping
overcome the trauma of chronic, unexpected, and unexplained losses.
They describe the work with clients, the collateral work, and also
the therapists' personal experiences of treating this vulnerable
population. This work also explores the impact of secondary trauma
on those working in an around the foster care system and addresses
ways that therapists and others vulnerable to vicarious trauma can
protect themselves, as well as their clients. In particular, three
chapters examine the power of peer consultation in sustaining
therapeutic work with vulnerable and traumatized populations.
Methods of integrating evidence-based approaches into treatment of
youth with multiple mental health problems and unavailable parents
are discussed and explored. Essential elements of effective mental
health interventions with traumatized foster youth are presented
and illustrated.
* Skills-based: most books on burnout or compassion fatigue are
largely signs, symptoms, and "self-care". This book defines
concrete, acquirable skills. There is significant clamoring in the
field for "what we do about it." * Evidence-Informed: The guidance
offered in this book derives from an evidence-base. *
Trauma-Informed: The foundation for trauma-informed treatment is
the emotion regulation skills of the provider. The treatment
professional must be emotionally regulated to effectively implement
any trauma treatment--and a commitment to care for oneself can keep
professionals in the field for a career.
This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to
key concepts of attachment theory, from the work of its founder
John Bowlby to the most recent research within the field. The first
part of the book gives readers a clear understanding of attachment
theory during infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and in
bereavement. The second part of the book illustrates how attachment
theory can be used to inform clinical interventions with children
in different contexts, adults, and within wider health, social and
educational systems. Using case examples throughout, the authors
provide the reader with a practical understanding of the clinical
applications of attachment theory across the lifespan and in
varying health, social care and educational systems. Attachment
theory is one of the most important lifespan development theories
and is relevant to students and practitioners from a wide range of
disciplines, including medicine, nursing, psychology, child
development, mental health and applied social sciences.

response to the trauma her grandson experienced when his "Daddy"
was shipped to Iraq. Victoria is a career elementary teacher who
personally witnessed the hurt and loneliness a child experiences
when a parent is not home. Victoria used her talent as an artist
and educator to help children cope with their loneliness and sense
of abandonment.
