Join the journey; discover your destiny Set against the epic
backdrop of Scottish myths and legends, comes The Cauldron of Life,
the second title in The Four Treasures series written by Caroline
Logan. In the Isles of Ossiana, Harris has been captured by the
Faerie Queen and Ailsa must journey once again into the heart of
Eilanmor to rescue him. But Ailsa is struggling with her newfound
magic and the revelations about her real identity. Is the Faerie
Queen Ailsa's mother? Is everything she believed about her past a
lie? Meanwhile, a war is brewing between much more powerful forces.
The lines between good and evil are blurring, and Ailsa must decide
where she stands... Perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas and Holly
Black, Caroline's Scottish upbringing and influences shine through
in The Four Treasures series and teenage and young adult readers
will delight in returning to the enchanting world of Eilanmor. With
LGBTQ+ characters, as well as themes of self-discovery, loyalty,
and love, there is something for everyone in The Cauldron of Life.
The second edition of Managing Clinical Risk is an authoritative
guide on how to engage in risk assessment and management practice
in evidence-based, accountable and effective ways. Over the course
of a dozen chapters, each oriented around a brief case study
reflecting a different area of risk, practitioners are offered
guidance on how to read referrals, how to decide what information
matters to their evaluations, how to speak to a person who may be
reluctant to engage in an assessment of this kind, how to organise
the information they have gathered in order to prepare a risk
formulation that will in turn guide risk management, and how to
communicate opinions and recommendations in ways that have an
impact. The book provides an evidence-based understanding of risk
assessment and management in key areas of practice – violence,
sexual violence, suicidal and self-harmful behaviour, as well as
family and relationship violence, organised criminal and
group-based violence, and violent extremism. Practices relevant to
understanding violent behaviour in individuals are contrasted with
those better suited for working with groups and organisations. How
practitioners can take account of the diversity of the clients with
whom they work is a central consideration in every chapter. And
helping practitioners develop the skills to enable them to
formulate risk where there may be multiple areas of concern is a
key objective of this book. All the contributors to this updated
guide to effective practice are scholar-practitioners –
experienced professionals with a track record of writing and
teaching about risk assessment and management practice in their
respective fields. Therefore, this book contains realistic rather
than idealistic representations of the work required to prevent
harmful behaviour by the kinds of clients they work with. Together,
contributors combine theoretical and research knowledge with a
wealth of practical skills, emphasising the collaborative and
recovery-focused nature of modern risk management.
War has arrived in Ossiana; Four Treasures and four fae are all
that stand between Eilanmor and destruction. But with Ailsa and her
friends scattered to the winds, will they find each other before
their enemies tighten their chokehold on the continent? Still
reeling from her revelation in the mountains, Ailsa must prove she
is worthy of the Spear of Truth to win it from the witches.
Surrounded by strangers and abandoned by both her demon and her
spirit guide, things have never looked bleaker. But the gods have
their own plans and soon Ailsa and her companions find that what
was once dead and buried will rise again.
Begin the journey; discover your destiny... Set against a backdrop
of Scottish myths and legends, follow the epic quest by a
changeling, a selkie and a prince to find an ancient and powerful
object, and save the kingdom. Ailsa doesn't believe in faerie
tales, only the monsters in them. But, with the mark on her face,
most people consider her one of them - a changeling. Her secluded
life shifts when she rescues two selkies from bloodthirsty raiders.
Now she must act as their guard as they travel to the capital and
then, with the help of the Prince of Eilanmor, journey north to
find The Stone of Destiny - the only object protecting them all
from the evil faerie queen. But all her life a malignant creature
has stalked her through the forest. Can Ailsa find The Stone of
Destiny before something wicked finds her?

This edited book presents international perspectives on the role of
mental health problems in understanding and managing the risk of
violent extremism. The chapters included in this book address two
themes. First, they describe the research findings on the nature
and prevalence of the range of mental health problems (psychosis,
personality disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and
depression, autism spectrum disorders) in young people and adults
who have in the past, committed acts of violence motivated at least
in part by extremist ideologies, or who have attempted or
threatened such acts, or who for other reasons are thought to be at
risk of doing so. Second, the chapters examine what is known about
the relationship - or the functional link - between mental health
problems and violent extremism. The focus of this book is on
clinical practice and understanding the nature of the challenge
faced by practitioners and their response to it. It will therefore
be of interest to mental health practitioners, service managers and
commissioners, and policy makers with a remit to understand and
mitigate risk of radicalisation and violent extremism. The chapters
in this book were originally published in The Journal of Forensic
Psychiatry & Psychology.
Get ready for battle... With everyone still healing after their
encounter with the Faerie Queen, Ailsa MacAra had hoped to spend
time with her long-lost brother. But something strange happened to
Cameron in the land of the fae, revealing that the world is under
threat. Wicked and powerful forces have come to Ossiana and war is
brewing across the continent. There is only one way to stop it:
find The Four Treasures and get ready for battle. It's a race
against time, but will the magical objects be enough to defeat a
god?
Violence directed towards others and violence directed towards
oneself cause an immense amount of physical and psychological
damage - to the harmed and the harmful person alike, to their
families, and to the public at large. Managing clinical risk is an
authoritative manual for practitioners working with harmful men,
women, and young people, containing up-to-date information and
guidance on what to do and how they can assess and manage clinical
risk, communicate their concerns about risk, and account for their
decisions about risk management to their clients and to the Courts.
This book provides an evidence-based understanding of risk in key
areas of practice - violence, sexual violence, firesetting,
suicide, and self-harm, working with individuals and organisations
alike - and among special groups: women, young people, serving and
former military personnel, clients with comorbid presentations, and
clients with cognitive impairment. Further, it suggests and
describes the skills practitioners need to understand and
communicate their concerns to all who need to know about them
through coverage of interviewing and risk formulation skills. This
is a guidebook to effective practice. All its contributors have a
record of research, practice, and considered thinking in the area
of clinical risk assessment and management. They all have a wide
range of knowledge and experience about the notion of risk,
conducting risk management in real world mental health,
correctional, and community settings, and about working with
clients with a label of high risk. Together, they combine
theoretical and research knowledge with a wealth of practical
skills in care and management, emphasising the collaborative and
recovery-focused nature of modern risk management.
