Attachment-Informed Grief Therapy bridges the fields of attachment
studies, thanatology, and interpersonal neuroscience, uniting
theory, research, and practice to enrich our understanding of how
we can help the bereaved. The new edition includes updated research
and discussion of emotion regulation, relational trauma, epistemic
trust, and much more. In these pages, clinicians and students will
gain a new understanding of the etiology of problematic grief and
its treatment and will become better equipped to formulate accurate
and specific case conceptualization and treatment plans. The
authors also illustrate the ways in which the therapeutic
relationship is crucially important—though largely
unrecognized—element in grief therapy and offer guidelines for an
attachment-informed view of the therapeutic relationship that can
serve as the foundation of all grief therapy. Written by two highly
experienced grief counselors, this volume is filled with
instructive case vignettes and useful techniques that offer a
universal and practical frame of reference for understanding grief
therapy for clinicians of every theoretical persuasion.

here are over 38,000 suicide deaths each year in the United States
alone, and the numbers in other countries suggest that suicide is a
major public health problem around the world. A suicide leaves
behind more victims than just the individual, as family, friends,
co-workers, and the community can be impacted in many different and
unique ways following a suicide. And yet there are very few
professional resources that provide the necessary background,
research, and tools to effectively work with the survivors of a
suicide. This edited volume addresses the need for an up-to-date,
professionally-oriented summary of the clinical and research
literature on the impact of suicide bereavement on survivors. It is
geared towards mental health professionals, grief counselors,
clergy, and others who work with survivors in a professional
capacity. Topics covered include the impact of suicide on
survivors, interventions to provide bereavement care for survivors,
examples of promising support programs for survivors, and
developing a research, clinical, and programmatic agenda for
survivors over the next 5 years and beyond.

suicide as a cause of death will be around for the foreseeable

This book explores the wise and conscious use of spiritual
resources within counselling and psychotherapy. Written by veteran
clinicians from different spiritual perspectives, and from various
therapeutic schools of thought, this book provides a broad view of
how the spiritual is present within therapeutic practice. The work
of counselling and psychotherapy is increasingly seeking to ground
its efforts within the richness of spiritual traditions. One of the
surprising developments of the contemporary psychotherapeutic scene
is a growing reliance on both hard, objective sciences - such as,
for example, neurology or Genetics - whilst at the same time
engaging very subjective, "soft" sciences - such as states of
consciousness studies, psychology of religion, clinical or Pastoral
Theology, and the over-arching tasks of meaning-making. Written by
and for clinicians who are also teachers in the field, this
collection offers a variety of viewpoints in terms of the diverse
spiritual traditions they draw from, theoretical sources that guide
and inform them, or the spiritual applications they bring to their
work. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of
Spirituality in Mental Health.
"Making Nature Whole" is a seminal volume that presents an
in-depth history of the field of ecological restoration as it has
developed in the United States over the last three decades. The
authors draw from both published and unpublished sources, including
archival materials and oral histories from early practitioners, to
explore the development of the field and its importance to
environmental management as well as to the larger environmental
movement and our understanding of the world.
Considering antecedents as varied as monastic gardens, the
Scientific Revolution, and the emerging nature-awareness of
nineteenth-century Romantics and Transcendentalists, Jordan and
Lubick offer unique insight into the field's philosophical and
theoretical underpinnings. They examine specifically the more
recent history, including the story of those who first attempted to
recreate natural ecosystems early in the 20th century, as well as
those who over the past few decades have realized the value of this
approach not only as a critical element in conservation but also as
a context for negotiating the ever-changing relationship between
humans and the natural environment.
"Making Nature Whole" is a landmark contribution, providing
context and history regarding a distinctive form of land management
and giving readers a fascinating overview of the development of the
field. It is essential reading for anyone interested in
understanding where ecological restoration came from or where it
might be going.
Autism is a lifelong condition that requires special care and
consideration right into adulthood, and has an impact on many
lives. This book is aimed at those concerned with the education and
welfare of children with autism; particularly at teachers in
Special Education and the psychologists and care professionals who
work with teachers and parents of children with autism. Although
there is no miracle cure for autism, this book brings a message of
hope: that early intervention is advantageous and that, by a better
understanding of autism and the different ways it is experienced by
individual children, more effective ways can be found to meet
educational needs and improve quality of life. Understanding the
development processes and problems of children with autism, and the
implications of these problems for social and educational learning,
is the purpose of this book. The authors provide an accessible
account of psychological concepts and research in social and
emotional development, communication, cognition and behaviour, as
related to individuals with autism. The fundamental problems of
autism relationships, communication and flexibility of thought and
behaviour are addressed, and practical guidance is offered on how
these might be overcome or circumvented, in both home and school.
This book specifically addresses the needs of children, but much of
it will remain relevant to those working with adults who will
appreciate the book s exploration of the roles played by emotion
and cognition in the autistic condition, and the way in which these
affect teaching and learning.

This book explores the ecological concepts and ideas involved in the practice of habitat restoration by taking a theoretical approach that will appeal to ecologists concerned with the structure and dynamics of communities. The contributors examine aspects of this new realization and its implications for both ecology and the practice of habitat restoration. What emerges is the outline of a new paradigm for ecological research and the basis for a stronger relationship between theory and practice in this area.
When in the Course of Human Events includes eight essays that were
first presented at the 2016 A.V. Elliott Conference on Great Books
and Ideas, the ninth annual conference sponsored by Mercer
University's Thomas C. and Ramona E. McDonald Center for America's
Founding Principles. 1776 was a momentous year. The revolutionary
events in America are well known: the publication of Thomas Paine's
Common Sense, the creation of the first revolutionary flag, the
writing and signing of the Declaration of Independence, the formal
naming of the United States of America, and the dispiriting series
of military setbacks checked only by Washington's famous crossing
of the Delaware River on Christmas night and subsequent victory at
the Battle of Trenton. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic
Ocean, 1776 saw the publication of Edward Gibbon's The History of
the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, of Adam Smith's Inquiry
into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, and the death
of Scottish philosopher David Hume. Given Hume and Smith's
contributions to the theoretical development of large and free
commercial republics, 1776 looks to be a watershed moment, a year
when the Americans would begin putting in practice what the Scots
had largely developed in theory. Of course, 1776 has also loomed
large in American memory, as succeeding generations appeal to its
principles and contest its significance. This book brings together
some of these diverse ideas and events into one volume.
Contributors include W.B. Allen, Jane E. Calvert, Adam Potkay,
Dennis C. Rasmussen, James H. Read, Diana Schaub, Scott Philip
Segrest, and Brian Steele.
