Cognitive Therapy for Psychosis provides clinicians with a
comprehensive cognitive model that can be applied to all patients
with schizophrenia and related disorders in order to aid the
development of a formulation that will incorporate all relevant
factors. It illustrates the process of assessment, formulation and
intervention and highlights potential difficulties arising from
work with patients and how they can be overcome. Experienced
clinicians write assuming no prior knowledge of the area, covering
all of the topics of necessary importance including: * an
introduction to cognitive theory and therapy * difficulties in
engagement and the therapeutic relationship * how best to utilise
homework with people who experience psychosis * relapse prevention
and management. Illustrated by excerpts from therapy sessions, this
book digests scientific evidence and theory but moreover provides
clinicians with essential practical advice about how to best aid
people with psychoses.

John Lambert was a renowned naval draughtsman, whose plans were
highly valued for their accuracy and detail by modelmakers and
enthusiasts. By the time of his death in 2016 he had produced over
850 sheets of drawings, many of which have never been published.
These were acquired by Seaforth and this title is the fourth of a
planned series of albums on selected themes, reproducing complete
sheets at a large page size, with expert commentary and captioning.
Trawlers and drifters served in both world wars in their thousands;
and, in their tens of thousands, so did their fishermen crews.
Indeed, these humble craft were the most numerous vessel type used
by the Royal Navy in both wars, and were the answer to the
strategic or tactical conundrums posed by new technology of mines
and submarines. In his accompanying text, Steve Dunn examines the
ships themselves, their design, construction, arming, operations
and development; and he also relates how the trawlermen and
skippers, from the age-old fishing ports of Grimsby, Hull,
Lowestoft ad Great Yarmouth, Aberdeen and Fleetwood, came to be
part of the Royal Navy, and describes the roles they played, the
conditions they served under and the bravery they showed. The book
takes some 30 large sheets of drawings which John Lambert completed
of these vessels and divides into two sections. The first part
tells how the fishing fleet came to be an integral part of the
Royal Navy's pre-1914 plans and details some of the activities and
actions of trawlers and drifters at war in 1914-18\. And the second
investigates the armed fishing fleet in the struggle of 1939-45.
These wonderfully detailed drawings, which are backed by a
selection of photographs and a detailed complementary text, offer a
superb technical archive for enthusiasts and ship modellers, but
the book also tells a fascinating story of the extraordinary
contribution the vessels and their crews made to the defeat of
Germany in two world wars.
During World War One the Scandinavian countries played a dangerous
and sometimes questionable game; they proclaimed their neutrality
but at the same time pitched the two warring sides against one
another to protect their import and export trades. Germany relied
on Sweden, Norway and Denmark for food and raw materials, while
Britain needed to restrict the flow of these goods and claim them
for herself. And so the battle for the North Sea began. The
campaign was ferociously fought, with the Royal Navy forced to
develop new tactical thinking, including convoy, to combat the
U-boat threat. Many parts of Scandinavia considered that the War
had 'missed' the region, and that it was just a distant 'southern
thunder'; Much of that thunder was over the North Sea. This new
book tells this little-known, and often ignored, story from both a
naval and a political standpoint, revealing how each country,
including the USA, tried to balance the needs of diplomacy with the
necessities of naval warfare. Starting from the declaration of a
British blockade and its impact and reception in Scandinavia, the
narrative progresses to cover the struggle to prevent supplies
reaching Germany, the negotiations to gain preferential British
access to Scandinavian trade and the work of the sailors, both of
the merchant marine and Royal Navy who had to make the system
function. By the end of 1916, the British-Scandinavian trade was so
important that a new system of convoyed vessels was developed, not
without much Admiralty infighting, leading to the growth of naval
operations all along the East Coast of Britain in places such as
Immingham, Lerwick and Mehil. Two years later, the Germans,
desperate to break the tightening stranglehold, even brought out
their big-gun ships to hunt and disrupt the Scandinavian convoys,
and at one point US Navy battleships were perilously close to
engaging with the High Sea Fleet as a result. Detailed analysis and
first-hand accounts of the fighting from those who took part create
a vivid narrative that demonstrates how the Royal Navy helped to
bring about Germany's downfall and protect Britain's vital
Scandinavian supply lines.
