In The Experiential Therapist: Phenomenology, Trauma-Informed Care,
and Mental Health, Peter D. Ladd steps outside of the medical model
to explore alternative ways of thinking about mental health
disorders. Through case studies and analyses of current methods and
research, Ladd stresses the importance of incorporating
trauma-informed care, phenomenological insights, and empowerment
methods in daily practice. By analyzing issues such as
collaboration, wisdom, momentum, dialogue, and necessary suffering,
Ladd highlights the importance of engaging with a patient's mental
health experience and its impact on her family, a consideration
that is often sidelined in favor of a focus on a patient's
physiology. Ladd argues that successful treatment results from an
informed understanding of a patient's experience, not an ability to
name and categorize difficult experiences as classical disorders.
Mediation, Conciliation, and Emotions: The Role of Emotional
Climate in Understanding Violence and Mental Illness, the revised
edition of the groundbreaking Mediation, Conciliation, and
Emotions: A Practitioner's Guide to Understanding Emotions in
Dispute Resolution, discusses the under-researched topic of
emotional climate, and emphasizes the importance of considering
climate or environment when trying to understand violence and
mental illness, as well as its impact on our society. Ladd and
Blanchfield describe how an effective mediator, conciliator, or
peacemaker should approach these conflicts. New features include
updated references, a discussion of contemporary violence and
mental health, and comparisons between culture and climate when
determining how conflicts evolve into violent acts.
The Talk Therapy Revolution: Neuroscience, Phenomenology and Mental
Health, uses phenomenology and neuroscience to describe
experiential counseling themes such as intuition, attunement,
emotional regulation, insight, empathy, momentum and others. Peter
Ladd explores these experiential counseling practices in direct
comparison with a medical model of talk therapy and examines the
pros and cons of both models. Ladd presents an orderly and
efficient integration of these two models that accounts for the
reciprocal relationship between human experience and neuroscience
in which interpersonal relationships have a direct impact on the
brain and the brain has a direct impact on human experience.
This book is an interactive workbook where clients, students, and
everyday people can understand and find step by step solutions for
regulating of their emotions. Each chapter allows the reader to
find out for themselves how they would personally regulate emotions
ranging from anger, resentment and jealousy to other emotions such
as depression, anxiety and self-hatred. Twelve different emotions
are covered in the workbook giving the reader those emotions most
commonly needing regulation in everyday living. The workbook takes
a holistic approach where not only one's behavior or feelings are
considered. Behavior, thoughts, feelings, beliefs, identity and the
emotional climate where emotions are experienced, make up this
well-rounded approach to understanding emotional regulation in your
personal life. The workbook also includes strategies for
professional counselors to successfully deal with client emotions,
with the goal of helping to improve the client/counselor
relationship. This is the perfect book for one on one conversation
or used in groups for a more interactive approach to emotional
regulation.

In the book, Leadership, Violence and School Climate: Case Studies
in Creating Non-Violent Schools, three important themes are
emphasized namely, democratic leadership, violence and school
climate. The book recognizes that safety should be the first issue
of concern when addressing school violence. However, violence in
schools should not be the sole concern of outside experts who
advocate for lock downs, metal detectors and bullet proof glass.
Through democratic school leadership violence can be reduced by
those professionals actually working in schools. The book
emphasizes that reduction in school violence originates from school
leaders having a comprehensive understanding of the climate found
in schools. Leadership, violence and school climate are connected
through the use of democratic principles that address; crisis,
trauma, empowerment, common ground, critical thinking,
assertiveness and others. The book points out how schools can
reverse their reactionary stance to violence, and become pro-active
through the practice of democratic principles.

The reference book Emotional Addictions proposes that some people
may actually be "addicted" in an unhealthy manner to specific
emotions. The emotion could be anger, anxiety, apathy, egotism,
envy, guilt, jealousy, resentment, revenge, or self-hatred.
Historically, one of the greatest challenges to both mental health
and substance abuse counselors has been the addict who has been
clean and sober for some time, yet still has substantial
difficulties coping with life. Ladd contends that emotional
addiction operates under similar criteria to a physical addiction,
with both forms of addiction showing characteristics of denial,
compulsive behavior, dependency, tolerance, addictive thinking, and
withdrawal symptoms. By combining emotions with addictions, Ladd
has written a cutting-edge approach to helping people with
addictions and mental health problems.
Dr. Ladd has written a reference book on couples counseling that
explores six contemporary relationships and discusses how couples
may change from one to another according to their life experiences.
In addition, six common styles of conflict resolution are addressed
that may make relationship changes less painful and difficult are
also addressed. When we realize that one of the most common methods
for transforming the union between two people is through divorce,
then the possibility of changing a relationship, instead of
changing a partner, may become a more attractive alternative.
Emotions impact any practitioner of dispute resolution; yet, there
are very few programs with courses that explore the emotional side
of disputes. In Mediation, Conciliation, and Emotions, Peter Ladd
outlines the emotions found in disputes and how these emotions
function in dispute resolution. The book is divided into two parts:
emotions and mediation, and emotions and conciliation. These parts
examine the phenomenon of mediation, how to control emotions during
mediation sessions, and how different disputes require different
modes of emotional reconciliation. Mediation, Conciliation, and
Emotions offers practical advice and information about the role of
emotions in dispute resolution. It is an indispensable tool for
practitioners of dispute resolution. Author Peter Ladd has
developed a computer program which simplifies scoring of the
"Emotional Climate Inventory" offered in the book's Appendix. This
program can be accessed via St. Lawrence University Graduate School
of Education's website at www.stlawu.edu/education.
