This is a readily accessible and clearly presented resource to aid
teachers, parents, governors, and parent groups in developing
working partnerships to meet special educational needs. The book
explains what parent partnership is and examines its importance
from different view points. By showing what parent partnership
means in practice beyond rhetoric, it provides the means to help
schools, parents, and administrators make a self-evaluation of
their current position in terms of partnership, and plan for future
development.

Climate Psychology offers ways to work with the unthinkable and
emotionally unendurable current predicament of humanity. The style
and writing interweave passion and reflection, animation and
containment, radical hope and tragedy to reflect the dilemmas of
our collective crisis. The authors model a relational approach in
their styles of writing and in the book's structure. Four chapters,
each with a strikingly original voice and insight, form the core of
the book, held either end by two jointly written chapters. In
contrast to a psychology that focuses on individual behaviour
change, the authors use a transdisciplinary mix of approaches
(depth psychology and psychotherapy, earth systems, deep ecology,
cultural sociology, critical history, group and institutional
outreach) to bring into focus the predicament of this period. While
the last decade required a focus on climate denial in all its
manifestations (which continues in new ways), a turning point has
now been reached. Increasingly extreme weather across the world is
making it impossible for simple avoidance of the climate threat.
Wendy Hollway, Paul Hoggett, Chris Robertson, and Sally Weintrobe
address how climate psychology illuminates and engages the life and
death challenges that face terrestrial life. This book will appeal
to three core groups. First, mental health and social care
professionals wanting support in containing and potentially
transforming the malaise. Second, activists wanting to participate
in new stories and practices that nurture their engagement with the
present social and cultural crisis. Third, those concerned about
the climate emergency, wanting to understand the deeper context for
this dangerous blindness.
To celebrate its 30 years of pioneering work in the fields of
counselling and psychotherapy training, the Re-Vision Centre for
Transpersonal & Integrative Therapy has brought together a
selection of writing by practitioners and teachers who have worked
at the heart of the organization. The chapters address a social and
cultural crisis which, at this point in the history of our planet,
needs new ways of looking at therapy and how it relates to the
world beyond the consulting room. Just as 'the personal is the
political' was a way of seeing individual issues within the context
of a wider political field, so we now need to see that soul has a
different kind of agency from that of ego - one that is both
internal and external, individual and cultural. The world may have
lost connection with soul in its obsession with merchandise and
control, but soul has not lost connection with us. These chapters
offer an integrative perspective that both gives a place to the
troubles of the modern world and also develops a well-tuned craft
to firstly attend to our painful wounds and ultimately transform
their bitterness into the salt of wisdom. This book is a compelling
work for psychotherapists, counsellors, trainees, and anyone
interested in how psychotherapy influences and is influenced by the
state of the planet, by imagination and by the reality of how
politics impact on our daily lives.
