Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the second edition of this book, Windy Dryden outlines seven core principles of Single-Session Therapy (SST). Beginning with a discussion of issues concerning the nature of SST, he puts forward the view that single-session therapy is best understood within the context in which it is practised. He then outlines central features of single-session thinking or what is known as the single-session mindset which underpins good SST practice. Professor Dryden makes the point that SST is not several sessions crammed into one. Rather, it is complete in itself and has its own process which he carefully outlines. One of the most frequently asked questions about single-session therapy stems from the doubts that therapists have about the possibility of forming a good therapeutic relationship in a single session. Professor Dryden shows that forming such a relationship is possible and argues that effective SST is based on the development and maintenance of a good working alliance and discusses the main features of this alliance. Professor Dryden emphasizes that the effective practice of single-session therapy is based on (a) consensual views of good practice that stem from the single-session mindset and (b) individual contributions from therapists based on their views of what constitutes effective practice. In illustrating the latter, Professor Dryden discusses what he brings to the practice of SST from his own ways of working as a clinician. About the authorWindy Dryden is Emeritus Professor of Psychotherapeutic Studies at Goldsmiths, University of London and is in part-time independent practice. His interests are in single-session therapy, very brief interventions, Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) and promoting self-help. Professor Dryden has written or edited over 290 books.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), developed by Albert Ellis in the mid-1950s and recognised as the first of the modern cognitive-behavioural therapies, holds that psychological difficulties stem from rigid and extreme attitudes people adopt when facing life's adversities. In this clear and accessible introduction, Windy Dryden presents the essential principles of REBT for students considering training in the approach. The book outlines the ABC framework, showing how adversity at A interacts with basic attitudes at B to create emotional, behavioural and thinking consequences at C. Through this structure, readers learn how inflexible attitudes give rise to unhealthy negative emotions, and how flexible attitudes promote healthier emotional responses. The text explains the crucial difference between intellectual and emotional insight, guides the formation of a strong working alliance, and introduces the preferred treatment sequence of disturbance, dissatisfaction, and development. Throughout, Windy Dryden equips readers with the foundations required for effective REBT practice, supporting them as they develop the skills needed to help clients achieve lasting attitude change and, ultimately, learn to become their own therapist. About the authorWindy Dryden is a world-leading REBT therapist, trainer, supervisor and author. He has been associated with REBT since 1978 and for many years directed the UK's only Master's course in REBT at Goldmiths Univerity of London. Windy is devoted to the practice of REBT especially within brief and single-session modes of therapy delivery. His first book was on REBT and was published 42 years before this current publication.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The theme of the three stories that make up John Fraser's brilliant new literary tour de force 'Animal Tales' is sacrifice. Sacrifice for others, for those close to one, or as a once-religious, generalised act. The context is a nature 'personalised' in the form of its animals - animals as the screen on which humans project their aspirations and their failures. In the first tale, the female protagonist suffers a series of disappointments - in her art, her civilisation, and the violation of her body. There remains for her only the self-denial and cleansing of consumption by an animal. In 'The White Room', the hero betrays trusts and friendships, culminating in the seduction of his friend's wife. The gift of an animal seems to unload the guilt and treachery on to the beast itself. The Guardians are the fantastic terra cotta animals that guard Chinese tombs. A powerful boss tries to salve his soul through a deal with nature. Only the lifeless guardian statues hide the void, however. The living animals are let down - along with the humans themselves.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This book is designed to be used by counsellors and therapists who are new to single-session therapy and who, having had some training in SST, wish to offer this mode of therapy delivery to their clients who are seeking help with specific problems.

He was clever, articulate, creative, sensitive, hardworking, warm, knowing, but with a non-judgemental sense of humour. He had an unconscious natural ability in becoming a friend to anyone; he was sociable but often alone. Jim was born on 20 June 1937 in Hornchurch, the London Borough of Havering, before moving to Coventry at a young age and finally settling in Oxford, detached from any family. He was self-educated, teaching himself to read and write Latin. This, with his love of literature in various forms including Shakespeare, the classics and poetry, was his consuming passion. Jim spent his working life in the print industry, employed by Hunts Lithoprint, originally located in the heart of Oxford, just off Broad Street, earning him the name of 'Jim the Trim' due to the vast amount of printed materials he would handle and guillotine. Jim wrote his poetry and thoughts over many years. He spent over forty-six years with Hunts Lithoprint, for whom he was still employed until his death on 12 January 2017, aged 80. A cherry blossom tree, forming a resting place in Jim's memory, has been planted at one of his favourite locations, the pond, Oxford University Parks, Parks Road, Oxford.

When I arrived at the hospital to pick her up, the scene was heartbreaking. Cathy was in agony, unable to bend her legs or back due to the enormous tumour that had consumed her entire back. The nurses who had cared for her were in tears, overwhelmed by the suffering she endured. We tried to fit her into a small car, but it was impossible. Eventually, we arranged for an ambulance, not realizing that this moment would mark the beginning of an incredible journey.'Cathy's resilience, faith, and unwavering spirit throughout her battle were nothing short of extraordinary. The strength she carried-despite the pain, the struggles, and the uncertainty-was never about our faith in her; it was about the faith she had in herself.

And today, she does just that.'For anyone in need of inspiration, motivation, and encouragement, Cathy's story is one that will move you deeply.

Taylor eventually befriends another Diggory long-termer, a spiky misfit of a girl called Georgie Yates. But soon afterwards Taylor discovers an incredible secret: his physicist parents had not been working at the local university as he had always assumed.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. ETERNITY concludes the long series of tales, novellas and novels by John Fraser as he explores the multitude of forms of human life - outside the canon and within, clinging to unreliable memories, confessions by the innocent and forgetful, rhodomontades by the marginal and discarded. Sometimes the hold on life seems lost, always precarious. It's not an easy ride - transferring from donkey, horse and Lamborghini to camel, dromedary and - mostly - foot and bus. Always central, always traduced, and disappointed. In After Life Nietzsche has a walk-on part, though one can hear Marx - old Karl - scribbling in the wings. Here and back again - as in music, so in life and afterwards. Shards is a kind of memoir - a scramble of memories by the senile, and then the chivvying by new protagonists to whom the past and present must be junked. Caving shows how our fumble with reality, disaster and survival provides us with enough uncertainty to hazard a fresh through - naturally, of liar dice. The whole is unpalatable, for sure - does it assist us to be modest, circumspect? Or quite the opposite. This item is printed on demand.
