Narrative therapy has the potential to help clients understand
their challenges as separate from their fundamental selves,
shifting the focus to their inner strengths when managing a
problem. Narrative Practices and Emotions provides a fresh
perspective for new and experienced practitioners alike on how to
combine classic narrative therapy with the latest scholarship on
the mind–body connection. Authors Marie-Nathalie Beaudoin and
Gerald Monk tap into cutting edge discoveries on mindfulness,
interpersonal neurobiology, and positive psychology. Each chapter
offers a wealth of clinical questions and embodied exercises, while
“conversation maps”—which provide important guideposts to
practitioners—are illustrated with engaging transcripts of
therapeutic work. These compelling case studies elegantly
demonstrate how skillful conversations can invigorate hope and
support personal development. Readers will discover a wide variety
of ways to assist clients of all ages in reengaging with a
meaningful life and sustaining well-being.
Collaborative Therapy and Neurobiology is the book many clinicians
have been waiting for: an integration of twenty years of scientific
and therapeutic cutting-edge ideas into concrete clinical
practices. Interpersonal neurobiology and the development of
exciting new technologies that allow us to better understand the
brain have provided us with an enriched perspective on human
experience. Yet, many clinicians wonder how to use this knowledge,
and how these discoveries can actually benefit their clients. In
particular, what are the concrete practices that each field uses to
help clients overcome the issues in their lives, and how can these
fields build on each other's ideas? Could minimally developed
concepts in each field be combined into innovative and powerful
practices to foster client wellbeing? This book offers a collection
of writings which provide theoretical food for thought, research
evidence, and most importantly hands-on, concrete clinical ideas to
enrich therapists' work with a variety of clients. Illustrated with
numerous transcripts of conversations and clinical stories, the
ideas in this book will stimulate the work of people interested in
renewing their practice with new ideas.

Because children's brains are still developing during the K-12
years, educators can positively influence students' development,
including strengthening the essential skills of empathy,
self-management and problem-solving. Most social skill training
groups involve a top-down process where adults teach young people
what they should do. But the over-generalized, one-size-fits-all
approach to social and problem-solving skills leads to a mental
disconnect for students. Unsurprisingly, the fact that many young
people often find such material to be boring or irrelevant to their
own lives provides a significant roadblock to understanding and
retention. Dr. Marie-Nathalie Beaudoin, one of the world's leading
experts on children and brain development, shares award-winning
techniques that connect with students' lives and concerns. Readers
will find: A research-based approach refined through ongoing work
in public schools Classroom exercises grouped by age, but adaptable
for all grade levels Lively, thought-provoking activities that
relate to students' lives and keep them engaged and interested
Valuable content for anti-bullying initiatives and counseling
programs Strategies that positively shape individual students'
emotional development, classroom dynamics, and overall school
culture
A wide body of recent brain research shows that socio-emotional
skills are best cultivated by experiences that evoke positive
emotions. In this inspiring book, Dr. Beaudoin teaches adults how
to engage children and adolescents in "skill-boosting
conversations" (SBC), a cutting-edge method to help them identify
and enrich the unique problem-solving strategies that work best for
them. Instead of trying to reduce a child's impatience for example,
you can boost the skill of patience
'The book gives excellent ways to empower children, help them solve
their own issues, and give them real strategies that will help them
deal with difficult situations in the future'-Elizabeth Barrett,
Civics Teacher Clark County Schools, Winchester, KY Create a safe
learning environment so students can achieve! Bullying is an
ongoing concern for students, with as many as half reporting that
they have faced aggression or harassment at some point. This
updated edition of Breaking the Culture of Bullying and Disrespect
provides the tools to successfully respond to bullying and other
negative behaviours by creating an environment that discourages
negative behaviour and encourages greater responsibility and
respect. The authors offer a comprehensive, therapeutic approach,
complete with sample transcripts and activities. Instead of using
punitive measures, which can model the very behaviours they are
trying to eliminate, educators will discover how to establish a
cooperative, caring environment and guide students in thinking
about positive alternatives to misbehaviour. This new edition
features: - Updated research, including real-life examples of
successful experiences - Additional case studies and a list of
problem-solving questions - A new chapter on brain research and how
children learn - An all-new section focusing on prevention methods
Empowering, enlightening, and practical, Responding to the Culture
of Bullying and Disrespect is a necessary resource for teachers,
administrators, and support staff dedicated to promoting respect,
tolerance, and responsibility in their schools.
`This book is outstanding. It addresses a definite need in schools
today and will be very effective in helping people understand some
of the school climate-related issues. If educators understand
problems and their causes and have potential methods of solving
them, only good can come from it' - Charles F Adamchick, Jr,
Teacher/Educational Consultant, Blairsville High School and
Learning Sciences International Blairsville, PA In this book for
headteachers and other school leaders, the authors explain how
administrators, teachers, parents, and staff can all work together
to create a positive school climate. Principals and teachers have
very different perspectives of the school and different pressures
that they are working under. But everyone is working toward the
same goal-improved student achievement. By breaking down the
misconceptions and misunderstandings that commonly crop up between
teachers, principals, parents, volunteers, and other school staff,
these different groups can work together to solve problems and
build a culture of caring and respect. This book is authored by a
psychologist and a teacher and the ideas and strategies are based
on 200+ interviews with principals and teachers. Some of the
problems addressed include gossip, cliques, negativity, and
competition - the authors provide innovative solutions for
overcoming these energy and morale sapping problems. The authors
also offer preventive strategies that help principals create a
climate of trust and support and stop problems from developing in
the first place.
