Reconstructing Meaning After Trauma: Theory, Research, and Practice
informs actual therapeutic work with clients who present with
traumas or other life disruptions by providing clinicians with
information on the construction of meaning. It includes material on
diverse mechanisms of clinical change and positive-promoting
processes. The book covers identifiable treatments and specific
lines of research in assisting clients in developing new meaning,
such as posttraumatic growth (after sexual assault, diagnosis, and
treatment of cancer, destructive natural phenomena, such as
hurricanes, and refugee experiences), and finding benefit (in the
context of loss-loss of health, or loss of a loved one).
This book provides a psychologically informed perspective on
childhood sexual abuse. Its goal is to help you orient yourself
toward recovery and learn healthy practices that will lead to
thriving, not just surviving. Written by an author who is herself a
survivor, this guide describes how complex trauma affects your
overall health. On that knowledge foundation you are invited to
build strengths in various areas of your life, such as
meaning-making, connections with others, and hope.
Promoting Positive Processes After Trauma targets one of the most
damaging effects of trauma, ongoing impairment across the whole of
"living." Viewing clients with trauma histories from the
perspectives of their shared experiences is the foundation for the
application of six strengths and virtues studied by positive
psychology: hope, positive emotions, resilience, forgiveness,
spirituality and religiosity, and meaning-making. The lived trauma
experience of the contributing author illustrates actual means of
change

Navigating Life Transitions for Meaning explores the central human
motivation of meaning making, and its counterpart, meaning
disruption. The book describes different types of specific
transitions, details how specific transitions affect an individual
differently, and provides appropriate clinical approaches. The book
examines the effects of life transitions on the component parts of
meaning in life, including making sense (coherence), driving life
goals (purpose), significance (mattering), and continuity. The book
covers a range of transitions, including developmental (e.g.,
adolescence to adulthood), personal (e.g., illness onset, becoming
a parent, and bereavement), and career (e.g., military deployment,
downshifting, and retiring). Life transitions are experienced by
all persons, and the influence of those transitions are tremendous.
It is essential for clinicians to understand how transitions can
disrupt life and how to help clients successfully navigate these
changes.
Rich with practical advice, Intervention in Occupational Stress focuses on intervention strategies that therapists and other helping professionals can use to help individuals suffering from the emotional and psychological stresses of the workplace. Filled with illustrative case studies, the chapters in this volume define the nature of occupational stress and provide information about the emotional, behavioral, psychological, and cognitive symptoms that can occur. Randall R. Ross and Elizabeth M. Altmaier discuss the various factors that influence the individual, the work setting, and the larger social context. They explore relaxation training, stress management programs, and other coping strategies such as job redesign and career planning. Methods to evaluate interventions are also presented.
Counseling Psychology, one of the original specialties recognized
in the profession of psychology, centers on and promotes clients'
personal strengths during times of developmental transition or
personal challenge and crisis. This tradition has led the
discipline to excellence in areas such as improving vocational
decision making and understanding client response during
counseling. More recently, this tradition has been applied in new
and exciting areas, such as understanding the role of multicultural
factors among persons and society, responding to crises in life
such as health threats and disasters, and enhancement of social
justice in systems and communities. The Oxford Handbook of
Counseling Psychology comprises chapters, all written by expert
contributors, in four sections: foundations of the specialty;
contextual variables such as ethnicity and social class;
applications across individual, couple, family and group
populations; and intersections of the specialty with new targets of
client or context. Each chapter reviews the history of research,
theory and application; analyzes current directions, and sets an
agenda for the close future, again in theory, research and
application. The handbook is a comprehensive and well written
survey of many of psychology's domains of growing interest to
students, professionals, and the public.
