This volume covers the range of reactions that both patients and
clients have to the circumstance of a child entering the
therapist's family. Through research, the authors show these
reactions can be extremely powerful, and when fully explored can be
used to advance the therapy and the development of the patient.
Rich clinical illustrations are provided throughout the text. In
addition, the reader is offered many therapeutic strategies for
working with patient-therapist reactions as they unfold. Many
practical issues arise in conjunction with this life transition.
Examples include announcing a pregnancy or an imminent adoption,
planning parental leave and covering the patient's needs during the
hiatus. In this second edition, therapists who are members of LGBT
families and single parent families are described in terms of their
special needs, challenges and resources. This updated edition also
contains a new chapter on special problems that can arise during
pregnancy.
The Mother and Her Child: Clinical Aspects of Attachment,
Separation, and Loss, edited by Salman Akhtar, focuses upon the
formation of an individual's self in the crucible of the early
mother-child relationship. Bringing together contributions from
distinguished psychoanalysts and child observational researchers,
it elucidates the nuances of mothering, the child's tie to the
mother, the mysteries of secure attachment, and the hazards of
insecure attachment. These experts also discuss issues of
separation, loss, and alternate sources of love when the mother is
absent or emotionally unavailable, while highlighting the relevance
of such ideas to the treatment of children and adults.
Revenge: Narcissistic Injury, Rage, and Retaliation addresses the
ubiquitous human wish to take revenge and settle scores. Featuring
the contributions of eleven distinguished mental health
professionals, it offers a panoramic and yet deep perspective on
the real or imagined narcissistic injury that often underlies
fantasies of revenge and the behavioral trait of vindictiveness. It
describes various types of revenge and introduces the concept of a
'good-enough revenge.' Deftly blending psychoanalysis, ethology,
religious studies, literary criticism, and clinical experience, the
book goes a long way to enhance empathy with patients struggling
with hurt, pain, and desires to get even with their tormentors.
This volume is of great clinical value indeed!
This book describes six therapy models that can be used to treat
individuals in facilities that offer short-term group
psychotherapy.  Group psychotherapy can be daunting,
especially for students and others who have not led groups
before. Choosing a model of therapy can be especially
tricky. The best therapy, as authors Virginia Brabender and
April Fallon explain in this book, is one that meshes well with the
needs of the patient population, the therapist, and the environment
in which treatment is taking place. They also emphasize the
key role of process—the interactions between and among group
members and the therapist—in the mechanics of group
psychotherapy. For each approach—interpersonal,
psychodynamic, cognitive behavior, acceptance and commitment,
problem solving, and behavioral therapies—the authors examine
theoretical underpinnings, characteristic interventions, relevant
research, strengths and weaknesses across different clinical
contexts, and the unique demands of the therapy setting.Â
Filled with vivid clinical vignettes, the authors demonstrate how
therapists can choose, adapt, and implement the model most suited
for their group. For more information, watch a short video
