Paperback. Condizione: New. We have become fixated on ascent in our lives: achieving more, being quicker, and rising up. But what if we are missing the richest life lessons by repressing the difficulties we experience? Both ascent and descent are vital in life. Yet, whilst we are educated on how best to ascend, it is rare we are… supported as we descend. Instead, we are encouraged to hide those times from ourselves and others.Richard's descent was epic. From playing lead roles on West-End stages to receiving a diagnosis of three months to live with a rare cancer. In this heartfelt and moving story, Richard offers a glimpse into his year of monumental descent. He invites us to accompany him as he navigates loss, grief, and heartache in a tale of the beauty and the ugliness of the human condition. How, when illness struck, unexpected love and compassion became the secret healer. Something Richard was determined to share by setting up a charity for others with blood cancer.As a Kite Falls offers food for thought and medicine for the soul. Richard's humility, humour, and grace shine through on every page. He uses the flow of the seasons and the deceptively simple art of haiku to bring us closer to the importance of space and pause in our lives. Richard's training in psychotherapy adds a deeper layer of understanding of what it means to be human, while acknowledging that none of us can truly make sense of the load others carry.In a world drowning in noise, As a Kite Falls gifts us a place of quietening down to listen to our own whispers.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Patricia Martin explores the hidden forces shaping our sense of self in an age of relentless connectivity and surging transformation. Based on a ten-year study of the changing nature of identity as influenced by technology, she reveals conditions unraveling who we are: persona fog, chronic self-doubt,… and cascading crossroads. Readers will recognize the ensuing symptoms, which they've likely felt but couldn't pin down. The research is brought to life by stories of people who faced their crossroads, built resilience for uncertainty, and fed their souls as they transformed their lives. Told through the eyes of the researcher whose identity is torn asunder by a succession of surprising blows, what started as a systematic examination of the impact of technology on the psyche morphed into a revelatory adventure of what it means to regain the thread of self in an era of churning dynamism. Blending memoir, psychology, cultural criticism, and reportage, the book offers a psychological and soulful portrait of the person who will thrive in the digital age.

Paperback. Condizione: New. The complex nature of grooming and abuse is often simplified by those who do not understand it and are left wondering why the victim allowed it to happen. A Guilty Victim challenges that misconception and explains how and why abuse continues and the impact it leaves on the victim's life. It explains t…hat we remain trapped in situations not because there is something wrong with us, but because of things that have happened to us.It is unusual to have permission to be able to illustrate the process of psychotherapy in action. William Smith bravely suggested his story be told to help at-risk children by showing adults how to recognise the warning signs in children's behaviour. His long journey to recovery is also an inspiration to others struggling to come to terms with childhood trauma.The book is presented in five parts. The first details the start of William's psychotherapy. Part II takes us back to William's childhood, a time of traumatic experiences, culminating in him being sent away from England to a Catholic boarding school in Ireland where a priest exploits his vulnerability. Part III continues his life story past school to a life dominated by work and heavy drinking, and marked by his first suicide attempt. His fortunes change when he meets Meg and finds some stability. Years later, when his youngest child leaves home and he has time on his hands, his suicidal feelings return. It is at this point he starts psychotherapy. The penultimate part focuses on William's creativity and his innovative illustrated timeline of his life. This creative project is a key part of his recovery. Once that is completed, his psychotherapy starts to come to an end, which is the final part of the book.A Guilty Victim is a human story that will appeal to anyone with an interest in understanding trauma, psychotherapy, wellness and mental health. It is especially relevant to people with responsibility for safeguarding children and vulnerable people. It is a counter to a market saturated by vignettes, fictionalised stories, and life hacks.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Pierre Delion is Professor Emeritus in the faculty of medicine at Lille, a child psychiatrist, and a psychoanalyst. His work is as straightforward as it is affecting but is little read in the English-speaking world due to a lack of translation into English. Matthew Bowker, in his excellent translation…, rectifies this unfortunate deficit to introduce English-language readers to the affecting and wide-ranging work of Pierre Delion through two of his best-known essays.What is Institutional Psychotherapy? examines the psychiatric establishment and institution, arguing that for institutional psychotherapy to be effective, we must "care for the institution" just as we must attend to the "transferential constellation" of the patient, the latter of which emerges only when the institution respects all the voices (including the patient's) involved in the patient's care. And, as Delion duly notes: "What holds for person-to-person psychiatry also holds true for democracy."The Republic of False Selves maintains that our social bonds have been damaged or destroyed to the extent that the practice and meaning of democracy itself are now in question. Democracy, for Delion, "refers not only to forms of government, but also to a society based on freedom and equality, or more generally still, to a set of values: political, social, or cultural ideals and principles." The democratic project, then, is threatened by contemporary political events, media images, neoliberal and techno-bureaucratic interventions, and even or especially the treatment of the mentally ill.The combination of these two works into a single text invites readers to consider the broader political connections between the clinical institution and society as a whole. Delion's careful thoughtfulness paired with his vast experience and understanding opens up new avenues of discovery to the reader.

Paperback. Condizione: New. At age twenty-seven, Andrew Feldmár accepted a tentative offer from his supervisor, Zenon Pylyshyn, a participant in the first experiments with LSD-25, to experience an LSD trip. Following that initiation, he took various other substances, always returning to LSD. During his apprenticeship with R. D.…Laing, he was trained in Laing's approach to LSD-therapy. A few years later, the use of these substances was prohibited. Now, after more than forty years, research has begun again into the healing possibilities of psychedelic psychotherapy. A movement has begun to have psychedelics, entheogens, and empathogens accepted worldwide as legal. However, training in how to use them varies.Feldmár details fascinating stories of patients whose recovery hinged upon their use of LSD. He talks of how a single session of MDMA assisted many to attain insights that enabled their psychotherapy to proceed faster and deeper than before. He wants his experiences to help the next generation of psychedelic psychotherapists. They demonstrate that the most important aspect of psychedelic psychotherapy is the human connection: being involved and engaged with the other. There cannot be a protocol to follow, programmed music played, orders given. The therapist needs to feel at home within the altered state of consciousness of the patient during the session. The only way to learn this is through apprenticeship and time is running out as the older generation who worked in this way is dying out. The gains are high with this type of therapy, but so are the dangers. Thus, the focus needs to be not on the drug, but on the relationship between the therapist and the patient. Psychedelic psychotherapy is not for everyone but done well with the right patient and therapist, it can be transformative.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Michael Jacobs is the author of key texts, such as Psychodynamic Counselling in Action and The Presenting Past. Looking back over fifty years' experience as a therapist and reflecting on some forty years as a supervisor and teacher, he invites you to join him and reflect upon issues uncovered in the t…herapy room.Therapists are encouraged to engage in reflective practice, thinking through what they are saying and doing, together with presenting their work in supervision in order to engage in fine-tuning their insight and skills. However, it is hard to find the time with so many demands pressing in. Michael presents various situations, phrases and practices which may evade reflection since they are so common in the consulting room, or which may challenge assumptions that easily become habitual in a therapist's practice. He unpacks apparent conventional phrases, such as 'How are you?', 'Did you see .?', 'And .'. He says the unsayable, looks at the place of CPD, questions 'expertise', the impact of failure, Freud's cigars, expectations on the therapist, being a therapist, the value of apologies, letting be, niggles, the vicissitudes of memory, the pointlessness of questions, what therapists miss, hopes, goals, taboos, finishing therapy, money, notes . and many, many more significant possibilities that arise in the course of a week's regular sessions.This beautiful little book contains space within for your own notes, thoughts, and reflections after each reflection from Michael. This gives you the opportunity to ponder, to savour, to develop or disagree on the ideas you encounter. Take your time, slow down, and allow your thoughts to grow.

Collectively, we are trapped in images of self, whether constructed by us, or imposed by others.

In this fascinating book Phil Mollon explores narcissistic phenomena in both the clinic and everyday life, demonstrating the illusory nature of the self, and showing how, beneath our defences, we are all 'borderline'.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Flourishing Love is a secular defence of marriage and long-term intimate partnership. It rejects a moral-religious code to govern love lives and instead puts its faith in the human potential for couples to be benevolent, loyal, and forgiving to preserve and enhance their romantic union.Dr Gnaulati dra…ws on a variety of sources to present the joint emotional upkeep necessary to make an intimate relationship not just satisfactory, but vital, and to illustrate what these lasting bonds look like. The latest science, anecdotes from his own 30-year marriage as well as from his psychotherapy practice, the musings of ancient and contemporary philosophers, and real-life interviews from partners in long-term happy marriages and intimate unions are all used to reveal the secrets to a successful romantic partnership.The result is a how-to of engaging in attentive and sensitive communication; employing a fairness habit of mind around household chores, childrearing responsibilities, and finances; optimally moving through and beyond conflict; using humor to enhance closeness; keeping an erotic spark alive; and ethically handling urges to stray outside the couple. A must-read for all those who crave meaning, happiness, and fulfilment in life and need their romantic partnerships to help, not hinder, in this endeavour.

Paperback. Condizione: New. A denial of dependency is fundamental to crises not only in our most intimate relationships, but also within society at large. We are inextricably woven into the fabric of all things and depend entirely on what is outside of ourselves to survive. Whilst our union with the world and need for each other… can feel nurturing and joyful, it also reawakens frightening feelings of dependency and powerlessness from the very earliest moments of our lives. To manage these disturbing feelings, we learn to ignore and deny them. Denial, however, demands a price. It sells us the stories we want to hear and, in exchange, asks that we hand over the parts of ourselves that are in need the most.In an exploration of interdependence, identity, and culture, psychotherapist Joseph Pawson examines the consequences of what happens when feelings of dependency are exiled from our awareness and excluded from cultural narratives. He illustrates how, as a result of this negation, we find ourselves behaving in ways in which we have little understanding or control. In our relationships, outbursts of anger, addiction, jealousy, and commitment issues all signal the presence of hidden feelings of vulnerability that exert their control from outside of our awareness. Pawson explores how the denial of our need for each other contributes to racism, inequality, misogyny, and the destruction of our environment. Using stories from the therapy room and drawing on ideas from developmental, Jungian, and Buddhist psychologies, Pawson vividly captures the journey of reconnecting with our banished dependency. This process can heal more than our own interpersonal difficulties. In venturing into the dark places that our need for each other takes us, we can rediscover a profound interconnectedness. In learning to bear these most difficult feelings, we may just develop the courage to lift the veil of denial that shields us from being able to relate compassionately to the greatest sufferings of our times.

Paperback. Condizione: New. This exceptional collection of essays explores the persistence of misogyny: how it is woven into the fabric of our culture, our institutions, and our psyches. Building on her first book, Misogyny in Psychoanalysis, Michaela Chamberlain moves on from a conversation to a demand for action.Drawing on her… experiences as a psychotherapist, mother, and researcher, she uses psychoanalytic theory to examine what causes misogyny and how misogyny is internalised, enacted, and justified. Revisiting Freud's case of Dora and Winnicott's concept of the "good enough mother", she explores how these foundational psychoanalytic ideas continue to echo in contemporary expectations placed on women - particularly around sexuality, care, and emotional labour. These essays bridge past and present, theory and lived experience, to ask what has really changed and include a much-needed update to Winnicott's list of reasons why a mother hates her baby.From online discussion forums to classical literature, from consulting room dynamics to cultural narratives, Chamberlain investigates how misogyny hides in plain sight, often disguised as common sense, tradition, or even progressive thinking. Her work questions who benefits from patriarchy, who is harmed, and how all of us - regardless of gender - are shaped by its assumptions.Accessible yet deeply informed, On Resisting Women invites readers into a debate about how we think, how we feel, and how we might begin to loosen misogyny's grip - not only on our systems, but on our inner worlds.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Karnac Books was founded on 24 March 1950 by Harry Karnac as a general interest bookshop at Gloucester Road, London SW7. Following strong sales of a D. W. Winnicott title, Harry Karnac began to increase his stock of mental health titles until they came to occupy the full floor of the shop's basement.…Word spread through the global mental health community and Karnac Books became the epicentre for English-language mental health publications, not only as a must-visit venue but also as a thriving mail-order business. Before long, Harry took the plunge into publishing alongside bookselling and the Karnac imprint was born.Since 1950, Karnac has changed hands several times and Brett Kahr has met, befriended, and interviewed every single owner from the eponymous Harry Karnac to the present day. His detailed knowledge as customer, author, and friend of Karnac makes him the perfect person to write this history, undertaken as a labour of love and published to celebrate Karnac's seventy-fifth anniversary.The book begins with an amusing introduction on the welcome affliction of Karnacitis, swiftly followed by a comprehensive history of early psychoanalytic publishing before leading into the first instalment of the chronicles of Karnac. The behind-the-scenes story of the iconic Karnac Books shows why it rose to be a pivotal member of the mental health community and continues to this day.

Paperback. Condizione: New. When I can remain truly present with my dementing patient, even facing the hard truths about her decline, she feels more deeply accompanied and thus more available to experience the realities and possibilities available at this time of her life.Maxine Anderson presents her account of three and a half…years accompanying her patient's journey into dementia. Sally, a psychoanalytic patient from several decades ago, returns to therapy as she begins to experience the early signs of Alzheimer's, a disease she watched her mother descend into. Sessions start with Sally alone but soon involve Sally's husband David and, later, her carer Connie. Psychoanalyst, patient, husband, and carer all learn together as they navigate the turbulent emotional waters caused by Sally's condition.The sessions brought out much to experience and to learn: about loss and the need to mourn, but also about the impulse to turn away out of fear and helplessness. The deepest lessons had to do with the value of patience and attentiveness in the face of fear and confusion. It is difficult to face the recession of capacities in our loved ones and our own helplessness. Yet, turning away to avoid the pain of loss may make the aging individual also turn away from facing the situation, enhancing the isolation and loneliness triggered by their waning capacities.In navigating this hardest passage, Maxine came to realize that by remaining truly attentive to Sally's experience, in the midst of loss and frustration, she could reach past the confusion and fear to help Sally feel emotionally accompanied, and thus more available to her own experience and realities. Surprisingly, when Sally felt accompanied, she could better face the hard truths about her decline. In addition, she and David were able to genuinely welcome change, amidst the necessary mourning, and managed to discover a new continent of experience and relationships. The encounter changed the lives of all involved and opened them up to new aspects of their own humanity.This moving tale presents a unique perspective on living with dementia and is of interest not only to all professionals working with dementia, but also to those accompanying their loved ones on their own hardest passage.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Can a young British woman from across the seas impact a group of African women living in a poverty-stricken community likened to a war zone? How can she help them deal with trauma when they constantly live in trauma? Life And Hope Out Of Darkness: Creative Interventions for Helping People in Violent C…ommunities reveals the story of Sarah Coleman and the women she worked with, using art, drama, puppetry, dance, mindfulness, and breathwork to shine a ray of light and hope into the lives of women stuck in a whirlwind of violence and poverty.Sarah takes the reader on a journey using the voices and stories of three women (each created from an amalgamation of people she worked with) to depict what life is like living in such difficult circumstances. She emphasises the importance of creating a safe space for effective therapeutic work to happen and how to achieve this in a violent community. Sarah also explores how to navigate differences, including the necessity of acknowledging white power and privilege. She describes how to help people create good support structures in their lives and how to seek support from each other. In a community where isolation is a means of survival, her book opens up the possibility to connect: to play with each other, to reach into each other's lives and build a way of creating a healthy community, to learn to forgive past hurts and to receive forgiveness, to embrace new potential, and to reach out and search for role models for guidance. It also delves into the importance of psychoeducation to raise awareness of what is happening in the body, with exercises in breathing, dancing and movement. Sarah highlights the importance of shaking out the body to dispel trapped trauma and calm the nervous system down.Working in violent communities takes its toll. Sarah gives testimony of the impact on her life and the importance of self-care. The book ends by affirming it is possible to live with hope despite difficult circumstances. Each chapter ends with thoughts for reflection that benefit us all, making us look at the ways in which we live and how we can all work to make things better.This uplifting book is recommended reading for all therapists and trainees involved in working with groups or the repercussions of trauma, and for individuals looking to bring hope and inspiration into their lives.
