Do you have clients who do not want to be helped? Clients who don't trust you, your profession, or your service. Clients who don’t want to change, despite needing to and despite your best efforts. Then No Bullshit Therapy (NBT) is for you! Most simply, NBT is about being authentic. Many people are cajoled, pressured, or mandated to see therapists, counsellors and other helpers. Hence, they are reluctant, suspicious, and resistant to being helped. This puts professionals in the difficult position of trying to help someone who does not want to be helped. To make things worse, there are few practice models designed to engage people who don’t want to be engaged. No Bullshit Therapy (NBT) creates a context for mutual honesty and directness in working relationships. Most simply, it is about being authentic. Creating a context for mutual honesty and directness can be refreshingly effective, especially with people who are suspicious of counselling or distrustful of the counsellor. When combined with warmth and care, honesty and directness can enhance co-operation, connection, and trust, especially if the practitioner avoids jargon and acknowledges constraints to the work. NBT is ideal for working with people who: • Don’t like therapy or the idea of therapy (even if they’ve never had it) • Don’t trust warm fuzzy ‘do-gooders’ or ‘psychologisers’ • Are suspicious of services because they have experienced trauma, have had abusive institutional experiences, or unsatisfactory treatment in the past • Don’t see themselves as a client, don’t agree with the referrer’s description of them or their problems, and appear to not want to change Practical and engaging, this book is an essential guide for therapists, counsellors and other allied-health professionals who are looking for a more effective way to connect with any client and ensure they get the support they want. It may also help you create more robust relationships at work and in the home.

Schema Therapy combines proven cognitive behavioral therapy techniques with elements of interpersonal, experiential, and psychodynamic therapies in order to help people with long-term mental health problems including personality disorders and chronic depression. Schema Therapy suggests that many negative cognitive conditions are based on past experiences, and therefore provides models for challenging and modifying negative thoughts and behaviors in order to provoke change.

In this book, Eshkol Rafaeli, David P. Bernstein and Jeffrey Young pioneers of the Schema Therapy approach indicate the 30 distinctive features of Schema Therapy, and how the method fits into the broader CBT spectrum.

Divided into two parts, Theoretical Points and Practical Points, this book provides a concise introduction for those new to the technique, as well as a discussion of how it differs from the other cognitive behavioral therapies for those experienced in the field.

FAREWELLS TO PLASMA is a selection of Goerke's short stories and prose from her three volumes in Polish "The transgression and abolition of borders, the permeation of East and West, tradition and modernity, dream and reality - these are the narrative coordinates of Goerke's universe, teeming with those who are wandering, searching, yearning - and, chiefly, loving"-S?ddeutsche Zeitung.
