As the frequency of alternative and spiritual interventions in counseling increases, so do the related legal and ethical issues. In Sacred Calling, Secular Accountability, Dr. Ronald Bullis acknowledges the existence of spiritual and alternative approaches as important therapeutic interventions and moves forward to concentrate on the ethical and legal use of those interventions. The focus of the book is not to debate the issue of alternative or spiritual therapy, nor is it to present instructions on how to use spiritual or alternative interventions. It instead provides a detailed description of the legal environment and jurisprudence arising for the use of alternative and spiritual interventions. By building on the conceptual background of the early chapters and substantiating the book's themes through applicable casework, the work proves itself a valuable reference for such details as licensing, regulatory agencies, insurance, and other issues associated with alternative therapies.

Contemporary research on major emotional disorders emphasizes their
commonalities rather than their differences. This research
continues to lend support for a unified transdiagnostic approach to
treatment of these disorders that considers their commonalities and
is applicable to a range of emotional problems. Unified Protocol
for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders provides an
alternative to disorder-specific treatments of various emotional
disorders, designed to be applicable to the wide range of anxiety
and other disorders with strong emotional components. The Therapist
Guide and accompanying client Workbook present an eight-module
therapy program that puts substantial emphasis on emotion-focused
approaches, helping clients confront and experience challenging
emotions while teaching them how to regulate those emotions.
Expanded considerably in this second edition, the volume provides
guidance on using the Unified Protocol (UP) to address problems not
only with anxiety, but also with depression, eating disorders,
non-suicidal self-injury, substance use, and anger. Treatment
procedures have been further elucidated and more guidance is
provided to practitioners on how to present key treatment concepts.
Chapters brand new to this updated edition introduce functional
assessment and describe how to provide the UP in a group format,
while patient materials have been revised, streamlined, and made
more user-friendly.
Reinventing Food charts Ferran Adria's transition from comparative
obscurity to becoming the focus of massive media attention - he has
been admired, talked about, criticized more than any other chef
alive today. Colman Andrews has spent over a decade in conversation
with Ferran, as well as countless hours in his restaurant and
workshop, and his account recasts Ferran's remarkable career with
unrestricted access to the chef and his family and friends, as well
as decades of accumulated insights and interviews with the most
prominent chefs and critics.
In 2003, the occupation of a state-owned building in Rome led to
the emergence of a new extreme-right youth movement: CasaPound
Italia (CPI). Its members described themselves as 'Fascists of the
Third Millennium', and were unabashed about their admiration for
Benito Mussolini. Over the next 15 years, they would take to the
street, contest national elections, open over a hundred centres
across Italy, and capture the attention of the Italian public.
While CPI can count only on a few thousands votes, it enjoys
disproportionate attention in public debates from the media. So
what exactly is CasaPound? How can we explain the high profile
achieved by such a nostalgic group with no electoral support? In
this book, Caterina Froio, Pietro Castelli Gattinara, Giorgia Bulli
and Matteo Albanese explore CasaPound Italia and its particular
political strategy combining the organization and style of both
political parties and social movements and bringing together
extreme-right ideas and pop-culture symbols. They contend that this
strategy of hybridization allowed a fringe organization like
CasaPound to consolidate its position within the Italian far-right
milieu, but also, crucially, to make extreme-right ideas routine in
public debates. The authors illustrate this argument drawing on
unique empirical material gathered during five years of research,
including several months of overt observation at concerts and
events, face-to-face interviews, and the qualitative and
quantitative analysis of online and offline campaigns. By
describing how hybridization grants extremist groups the leeway to
expand their reach and penetrate mainstream political debates, this
book is core reading for anyone concerned about the nature and
growth of far-right politics in contemporary democracies. Providing
a fresh insight as to how contemporary extreme-right groups
organize to capture public attention, this study will also be of
interest to students, scholars and activists interested in the
complex relationship between party competition and street protest
more generally.

Leading therapists and researchers have come to understand that
many psychological disorders share common features and respond to
common therapeutic treatments. This deepened understanding of the
nature of psychological disorders, their causes, and their symptoms
has led to the development of new, comprehensive treatment programs
that are effective for whole classes of disorders. Unified Protocol
for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders is one such
program. Designed for individuals suffering from emotional
disorders, including panic disorder, social anxiety disorder,
generalized anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder,
obsessive compulsive disorder, and depression, this program focuses
on helping you to better understand your emotions and identify what
you're doing in your responses to them that may be making things
worse. Throughout the course of treatment you will learn different
strategies and techniques for managing your emotional experiences
and the symptoms of your disorder. You will learn how to monitor
your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors; confront uncomfortable
emotions; and learn more effective ways of coping with your
experiences. By proactively practicing the skills presented in this
book-and completing the exercises, homework assignments and
self-assessment quizzes provided in each chapter, you will address
your problems in a comprehensive and effective way so you can
regulate your emotional experiences and return to living a happy
and functional life.
Set in the Caribbean - from Jamaica to Trinidad, Barbados to
Dominica, the author's birthplace - this sparkling collection of
stories from one of the Caribbean's foremost cultural activists is
full of surprises, both in style and intent. Written across five
decades, the characters and plots have a compelling intimacy and
warmth that reflect the tragedies and triumphs of the region. As
Colin Channer, the Jamaican writer and founder of the Calabash
festival puts it: 'With this collection, he is allowing us into the
attic and cellar of his imagination, where he has stored
astonishing histories and legacies. We are all the richer for his
generosity, storytelling, grace, and for the artistic impulse
beating at these stories' heart.'

Bullying has long been tolerated as a rite of passage among
children and adolescents. There is an implication that individuals
who are bullied must have "asked for" this type of treatment, or
deserved it. Sometimes, even the child who is bullied begins to
internalize this idea. For many years, there has been a general
acceptance and collective shrug when it comes to a child or
adolescent with greater social capital or power pushing around a
child perceived as subordinate. But bullying is not developmentally
appropriate; it should not be considered a normal part of the
typical social grouping that occurs throughout a child's life.
Although bullying behavior endures through generations, the milieu
is changing. Historically, bulling has occurred at school, the
physical setting in which most of childhood is centered and the
primary source for peer group formation. In recent years, however,
the physical setting is not the only place bullying is occurring.
Technology allows for an entirely new type of digital electronic
aggression, cyberbullying, which takes place through chat rooms,
instant messaging, social media, and other forms of digital
electronic communication. Composition of peer groups, shifting
demographics, changing societal norms, and modern technology are
contextual factors that must be considered to understand and
effectively react to bullying in the United States. Youth are
embedded in multiple contexts and each of these contexts interacts
with individual characteristics of youth in ways that either
exacerbate or attenuate the association between these individual
characteristics and bullying perpetration or victimization.
Recognizing that bullying behavior is a major public health problem
that demands the concerted and coordinated time and attention of
parents, educators and school administrators, health care
providers, policy makers, families, and others concerned with the
care of children, this report evaluates the state of the science on
biological and psychosocial consequences of peer victimization and
the risk and protective factors that either increase or decrease
peer victimization behavior and consequences. Table of Contents
