From Trauma to Harming Others shows the approach of professionals
from the world-renowned Portman Clinic, which specializes in work
with violence, delinquency and sexual acting out. This book focuses
on the intricacies of working with young people who display such
worrying behaviours. Written by experienced and eminent authors,
the chapters unpack central theories and open up original ideas
describing a range of work with sexual offenders, compulsive
pornography users and violent young people. The central theme of
the book is trauma and how acting out can be understood as a way of
managing the psychic pain of such trauma. The chapters are
ingrained with understandings from the classical psychoanalytic
traditions of the Portman and Tavistock Clinics, together with more
recent thinking about trauma, rooted in neurobiological,
developmentally and trauma informed theories. They emphasize the
need for awareness of both the victim of trauma and the perpetrator
within the same person presenting for help, while panning
treatment. With insights and examples from experienced clinicians,
this book will be of value to all those working with traumatized,
acting out young people.

* How does complex trauma differ from trauma? * What is
dissociation? * How does it affect children? * How can you help?
These questions and more are answered in this guide to
understanding the nature of complex trauma and dissociation, making
these seemingly complicated topics accessible to all. Complex
trauma and dissociation is a subject around which there is much
confusion and misunderstanding. This can lead to children lacking
the support they really need, and even misdiagnosis of the problems
they are really struggling with. Written as a complement to The
Simple Guide to Child Trauma, this book aims to inform, clarify and
deepen the understanding of complex trauma and resulting
dissociation. It also provides practical advice for those caring
for or working with these children.

Are we born selfish or primed to help others? Does stress make
people more antisocial? Can we ever be genuinely altruistic? This
book explores some of the dilemmas at the heart of being human.
Integrating cutting edge studies with in-depth clinical experience,
Graham Music synthesizes a wealth of fascinating research into an
explanation of altruism, cooperation and generosity and shows how
we are primed to turn off the 'better angels of our nature' in the
face of stress, anxiety and fear. Using fascinating psychological
research but rooted in a clinicians understanding of the impact of
stress on our moral and pro-social capacities, The Good Life covers
topics as diverse as: The role of parenting and family life in
shaping how antisocial or pro-social we become How stress, abuse
and insecure attachment profoundly undermine empathic and
altruistic capacities The relative influence of our genes or
environments on becoming big-hearted or coldly psychopathic How our
immediate contexts and recent social changes might tilt us towards
either selfish or cooperative behaviour This book makes a unique
contribution to a subject that is increasingly on people's minds.
It does not shirk complexity, nor suggest easy explanations, but
offers a hard look at the evidence in the hope that we can gain
some understanding of how a 'Good Life' might develop. Often
personally challenging, intellectually exhilarating and written
with an easily accessible style, The Good Life makes sense of how
our moral selves take shape, and shines a light on the roots of
goodness and nastiness.

contribute to keeping children safe from harm and promoting their
welfare, in line with Government Every Child Matters guidelines.
The contributors, who are all experts in the field of child
protection, put the potentially daunting task faced by schools in
context, explaining relevant policy, the latest research findings
and offering practical examples to help schools to be more
proactive and meet their responsibilities successfully. Areas
discussed include the roles of local education authority services
and schools in child protection, working with particularly
vulnerable or difficult children, the relationship between
safeguarding and the curriculum, and training school staff to
safeguard children. At a time when expectations of the role of
schools are evolving, this book provides guidance and support for
teachers, managers and social care professionals.
Examining and exploring new approaches to therapeutic observation
in health and social care, this multidisciplinary guide discusses
and analyses its uses in a range of practical contexts with
children, families and adults. Developing good observation skills
is paramount to sustaining relationships in the challenging
settings that health and social care professionals find themselves
in. This guide shows how observation is taught, applied in
practice, and how it will be returned to throughout professionals'
careers. Drawing on psychoanalytic ideas and theories of human
development as a base for professional learning, the experienced
editors and authors offer theoretically informed models to teach
observation skills in professional programmes, helping their
readers prepare for successful intervention in any setting.
