Afghanistan, into counselling because of concerns for his gambling
and how much it is costing the family. Is his military service
playing some role in the increase in his gambling? Kylie has a
problem with her anger. Brett is threatening to leave if her
aggression is not better contained. Is her irritability that of an

personality disorder? Bettina is taking Lithium for bi-polar
disorder and has just come out of hospital after a two-week
admission related to her anorexia, and there is a need to closely
monitor her weight. Natalie, her partner, is feeling highly
stressed. She loves Bet, but feels overwhelmed be a responsibility
to keep her alive. What support and guidance is best for Bettina?
Much relationship counselling today is conducted by generalist
psychologists, social workers, and counsellors. Yet there is a
strong case for a greater role for clinical psychologists. Accurate
assessment during couples therapy is essential, the dynamics
between people are complex, and the process is potentially very
demanding of clinical skills. This book provides an opportunity to
make the argument for greater involvement in relationship
counselling by the clinical psychology profession and to guide both
clinical students and practitioners toward an informed and
integrated approach to relationship counselling, drawing on the
best evidence-based treatments.
In this groundbreaking book, three internationally recognized
psychologists present a step-by-step guide outlining the most
up-to-date innovations in schema therapy (ST). This important book
offers a clear and practical road map for putting the schema mode
model into practice, improving clients' interpersonal functioning,
and integrates the latest advances in contextual behavioral
psychology. ST is a powerful, integrative treatment model that
combines aspects of cognitive, behavioral, and psychodynamic
therapies. It has proven highly effective in treating a number of
mental health issues, including difficult-to-treat personality
disorders. ST's main premise is that mental health issues arise as
a result of unmet emotional needs in childhood, leading to the
development of early maladaptive schemas (EMS). But, more and more,
ST has shifted away from EMS to focus on schema content-that is,
changing the way clients relate to their experiences and to others.
This book incorporates the latest findings in contextual behavioral
science with a focus on clients' coping styles - or schema modes -
and improving interpersonal functioning. The book includes
exercises from compassion-focused therapies, acceptance and
commitment therapy (ACT), and even functional analytic
psychotherapy (FAP) to help your clients become more aware of their
own unhealthy coping patterns and behaviors. You'll also discover a
range of emotion-focused and experiential techniques to use in
therapy with your client.
As psychologists, we are highly trained mental health
professionals. In the consulting room we are generally 'in control'
and have a good feel for what is happening. However, in a court of
law, it can be quite frightening as anything can happen. The
vulnerability we feel in a courtroom is a professional
vulnerability. This is because a psychologist can be made to think
that his or her competence is on the line. This is not usually the
case, but it is what it feels like. It is important for us to
realise that in court it is our opinion that matters. But the
process feels personal. This book is written to help you develop
understanding and skills so that you can feel confident in
presenting expert evidence. The format of the book is not simply to
give you information, instead it is also structured to reflect the
way psychologists can develop professional competence through
supervision. You, the reader, will listen in on supervision
sessions with Jason and Mary. The book includes practical
suggestions and a focus on skills, as well as structured exercises
to practise with peers. While it is not intended to be
comprehensive, Crossfire!'s approach will touch on many of the
issues that are important in the legal process. Its particular
focus is enabling psychologists in Australia to feel confident in
court.
Australian psychology practice today is a dynamic, well respected
and increasingly competitive environment. Many new psychologists
graduate with an expectation of setting up their own private
practice. But how is that best done? What are the traps to avoid,
the questions to ask, the knowledge needed to succeed? Find out
here in this book written by three highly experienced psychologists
with more than 75 years of private practice experience between them
as well as backgrounds in academic training, dealing with
complaints about psychologists, training and supervision of
psychologists, and presenting as expert witnesses. They've seen or
experienced just about everything that can be thrown at a modern
Australia psychology practice and lived to impart their
advice.Written from a no-nonsense approach, with plenty of
practical examples and personal reflections from each author
scattered throughout, this is a manual designed for those either
entering private practice or already practicing who might want to
continue their professional development.Topics covered

"Undoubtedly the most accessible, readable and downright
interesting - even amusing - dictionary of its type. In being all
of those things - and more - the dictionary does not sacrifice on
quality. There are many well-chosen entries and they are quite
informative. A useful addition to any scholar's library while at
the same time being an excellent resource for both graduate and
undergraduate students" - George Ritzer, University of Maryland
"This is a delightful and comprehensive dictionary. The authors
write in an engaging and lively style that brings alive the ideas
of sociology not only for existing practitioners, but also for a
whole new generation of students" - Tim May, University of Salford
With over 1000 entries on key concepts and theorists, The SAGE

'digests' of key arguments contemporary, appealing illustrations of
points readability. This is not just another dry guide to the
discipline. Engagingly written with its audience firmly in mind, it
will be the definitive and chosen companion to established
textbooks and teaching materials in sociology.
Founded in 910 by Duke William of Aquitaine, the abbey of Cluny
rose to prominence in the eleventh century as the most influential
and opulent center for monastic devotion in medieval Europe. While
the twelfth century brought challenges, both internal and external,
the Cluniacs showed remarkable adaptability in the changing
religious climate of the high Middle Ages. Written by international
experts representing a range of academic disciplines, the
contributions to this volume examine the rich textual and material
sources for Cluny's history, offering not only a thorough
introduction to the distinctive character of Cluniac monasticism in
the Middle Ages, but also the lineaments of a detailed research
agenda for the next generation of historians. Contributors are:
Isabelle Rose, Steven Vanderputten, Marc Saurette, Denyse Riche,
Susan Boynton, Anne Baud, Sebastien Barret, Robert Berkhofer III,
Isabelle Cochelin, Michael Hanchen, Gert Melville, Eliana Magnani,
Constance B. Bouchard, Benjamin Pohl, and Scott G. Bruce.
