The Forgiveness Project

Stories for a Vengeful Age Marina Cantacuzino Forewords by Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, Alexander McCall Smith Challenging our ideas about forgiveness. Thought-provoking and powerful real life stories from survivors and perpetrators of crime and violence around the world are collected here from a diverse range of situations. They raise the possibility of alternatives to resentment, retaliation and revenge, with each story showing the very real impact of forgiveness within a particular context. “The testimonials in this book have taught me a great deal about forgiveness, which I think I thought was something rather easier than it is. They make me weep and they make me really think about what it is to forgive and what it is to try and understand someone instead of demonising them. I think this is probably one of the most important projects in the world today.” Emma Thompson, actor

“Confronting, inspiring and unforgettable. The stories in this book not only show the challenges and complexity of forgiveness but reveal unexpected pathways to creating a more tolerant and empathic world, and why we should consign revenge to the dustbin of history.”

Creative, Successful, Dyslexic 23 High Achievers Share Their Stories Margaret Rooke Foreword by Mollie King Well known media people and entrepreneurs with dyslexia talk about the challenges of dyslexia in childhood, and how the strengths of dyslexia have helped them to achieve later success. 23 very well-known people from the arts, sport, and business worlds talk about how dyslexia affected their childhood, how they were able to overcome the challenges and use the special strengths of dyslexia to achieve great success in adulthood. Darcey Bussell CBE, Eddie Izzard, Sir Richard Branson, Meg Mathews, Zoe Wanamaker, Sir Richard Rogers, Benjamin Zephaniah, Steven Naismith, Lynda La Plante, Jackie Stewart, Sophie Conran and others share their stories, and their advice. All reveal the enormous difficulties they faced, the strength required to overcome them, the crucial importance of adult support, and how `the different way the brain is wired’ in dyslexia has enabled them to see something different in the world and to use their creativity in an exceptional way. They talk about `thinking sideways’, and the ability to look at a bigger picture, the often strong visual strength, and the ability to listen, and to grasp simplicity where other people see only complexity. They also talk about how dyslexia continues to challenge them, and the ways they have found to work around this. An introduction, and final section that includes practical information about dyslexia, are written with the support of Dyslexia Action, and a percentage of profit from the book is donated to Dyslexia Action. The book will be essential reading for teachers and other professionals, and for families affected by dyslexia, and inspirational for people with dyslexia.

Pain is Really Strange Steve Haines. Art by Sophie Standing. A scientifically-based, detailed, and gently humorous graphic book on pain and pain management. Answering questions such as ‘how can I change my pain experience?’, ‘what is pain?’, and ‘how do nerves work?’, this short research-based graphic book reveals just how strange pain is and explains how understanding it is often the key to relieving its effects. Studies show that understanding how pain is created and maintained by the nervous system can significantly lessen the pain you experience. The narrator in this original, gently humorous book explains pain in an easy-to-understand, engaging graphic format and reveals how to change the mind’s habits to transform pain. Steve Haines has been working in healthcare for over 25 years and as a bodyworker since 1998. Understanding the science of pain and trauma has transformed his approach to healing. He has studied Yoga, Shiatsu, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE). He is a UK registered Chiropractor and teaches TRE and Cranial work all over the world. His treatments now use education, embodied awareness and light touch to help people move more freely and be more present. Steve lives and works between London and Geneva. (www.stevehaines.net).

“This seemingly innocuous picture book on pain is so much more. Steve Haines has compiled a brilliant little volume of insights. Its colorful images invoke a playful approach to unlearning old patterns. Its rich scientific information helps disassemble, piece by piece, the way we’ve come to think about pain as a culture. Haines takes the next step, too; he doesn’t leave us wondering what to do next, but offers practical tools we can use to rewire our mind-body response to pain. This tiny book packs a powerful punch!” Bo Forbes, Psy.D., psychologist, yoga teacher, and author of ‘Yoga for Emotional Balance’

Reframe Your Thinking Around Autism How the Polyvagal Theory and Brain Plasticity Help Us Make Sense of Autism Holly Bridges An accessible overview of the Polyvagal Theory and brain plasticity, their implications for autism treatment, and practical ways to apply the ideas in real life. Outlining a new, optimistic way to understand autism, this concise and accessible book offers practical ideas to help children on the spectrum grow. The Polyvagal Theory suggests autism is a learnt response to early stressors - the result of a child being in a prolonged state of ‘fight or flight’ while their nervous system is still developing. This book explains the theory in simple terms and incorporates recent developments in brain plasticity research (the capacity of the brain to change throughout life) to give parents and professionals the tools to strengthen the child’s brain-body connection and lessen the social and emotional impact of autism. Holly Bridges runs a therapeutic consultancy called ‘License to Think’ and was nominated for the ‘Excellence in Personal and Community Support’ category of the Australian National Disability Services’ 2015 Disability Support Awards. She lives in Perth, Western Australia.

Crime and Autism Spectrum Disorder Myths and Mechanisms Neil Brewer and Robyn L. Young An examination of the cognitive, social and behavioural characteristics of people with ASD that may contribute to their involvement in criminal activity and to being disadvantaged in interactions with the criminal justice system. Having Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can - given certain situational conditions - make individuals more vulnerable to becoming caught up in criminal activity and vulnerable to unfavourable interactions once in the criminal justice system. Guided by empirical research, psychological theory and illustrative case studies involving adults with ASD who have been implicated in crimes, Robyn L. Young and Neil Brewer explain why. They examine the pivotal cognitive, social and behavioural characteristics unique to ASD (such as weak Theory of Mind, restricted interests and acute sensory sensitivities) that - individually or in interaction - may contribute to individuals becoming involved in illegal activities. Arguing that the forensic assessment of individuals with ASD requires substantial redevelopment to clarify the key deficits contributing to criminal behaviour, the authors highlight the need for, and desirable nature of, intervention programs to minimize the criminal vulnerability of adults with ASD and to prepare them for interactions with the criminal justice system. This book will be of immeasurable interest to criminal justice professionals including probation officers, social workers, clinical and forensic psychologists, police officers, lawyers and judges, as well as students of these professions.

The Obsessive Joy of Autism Julia Bascom A powerful and clear explanation of autistic ‘obsessions’ from a first-hand perspective. Being autistic, to me, means a lot of different things, but one of the best things is that I can be so happy, so enraptured about things no one else understands and so wrapped up in my own joy that, not only does it not matter that no one else shares it, but it can become contagious. This is the part about autism that I can never explain. This is the part I never want to lose.’ Julia Bascom’s depiction of the joy of autistic obsessions tells a story about autism that is very rarely told. It tells of a world beyond impairments and medical histories, where the multiples of seven can open a floodgate of untranslatable joy, where riding a train can make everything feel perfectly sized and full of light, and where flapping your hands just so amplifies everything you feel. Julia Bascom is an autistic woman, writer, and self-advocate. She blogs about autistic identity, community, and language, disability rights, and autism acceptance at www.juststimming.wordpress.com.

Successes and Challenges Faced by Individuals with Disabilities in Higher Education

Do We Belong? Edited by Pavan John Antony and Stephen M Shore A unique insight into the experiences, both positive and negative, of individuals with disabilities in higher education. Combining findings from researchers in special education with the personal stories of individuals with disabilities who have encountered both challenges and successes in higher education, this book explores the experiences, both positive and negative, of individuals with different types of disabilities in higher education settings and asks how things can be improved. “You are not college material” or “you don’t belong in college” are comments frequently heard by students with disabilities. Despite this, college education is increasingly becoming an expected part of transitioning for many individuals with disabilities and it can be an opportunity to build selfesteem and confidence as they achieve success and overcome challenges. Providing a space for these individuals to express their experiences in their own words, alongside reflection and practical tips from researchers and higher education professionals, allows this book to offer a deeper insight into the higher education experiences of individuals with disabilities. Dr Pavan John Antony has over ten years of work experience in the field of special education and is currently Assistant Professor in Special Education at Adelphi University, New York. Dr Stephen Shore is Assistant Professor in Special Education at Adelphi University, New York.

Women and Girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder Understanding Life Experiences from Early Childhood to Old Age Sarah Hendrickx Foreword by Judith Gould A unique look at women and girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The difference that being female makes to the diagnosis, life and experiences of a person with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has largely gone unresearched and unreported until recently. In this book Sarah Hendrickx has collected both academic research and personal stories about girls and women on the autism spectrum to present a picture of their feelings, thoughts and experiences at each stage of their lives. Outlining how autism presents differently and can hide itself in females and what the likely impact will be for them throughout their lifespan, the book looks at how females with ASD experience diagnosis, childhood, education, adolescence, friendships, sexuality, employment, pregnancy and parenting, and aging. It will provide invaluable guidance for the professionals who support these girls and women and it will offer women with autism a guiding light in interpreting and understanding their own life experiences through the experiences of others. Sarah Hendrickx has a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. She is author of six books on the subject of autism and speaks at conferences worldwide.

The Secrets in Their Eyes Transforming the Lives of People with Cognitive, Emotional, Learning, or Movement Disorders or Autism by Changing the Visual Software of the Brain Melvin Kaplan Foreword by Manuel Casanova How vision therapy can transform visual, cognitive, emotional and physical difficulties. Vision therapy techniques can correct not only visual problems, but also cognitive, emotional and physical difficulties. Based on the pioneering work of Dr Melvin Kaplan, this research-based book explains the basis of vision therapy, who it can help, and the outcomes it can bring. Visual perceptual problems can cause an array of difficulties, from reading and writing, to issues with balance, clumsiness, and tunnel vision. Severe symptoms can lead to a diagnosis of anxiety, depression, learning disability or even autism. In this groundbreaking book, Dr Kaplan shows how these symptoms point to interventions that change the way that the eyes process information, permanently counteracting visual deficits and impacting on behaviour. Case studies demonstrate how to plan and implement visual management programs according to a patient’s symptoms, illustrating the wide range of life-changing results that vision therapy can achieve for people of all ages, regardless of severity of symptoms. Dr Kaplan also shares his expert knowledge of ambient yoked prisms - a tool that transforms light to alter visual stimulation, dramatically transforming perception and cognition.

This revised and updated edition reflects recent developments and introduces new key terms. Albert J. Kearney explains the kinds of learning and reinforcement processes that form the basis of ABA programs. Having covered these essential principles, he describes how the science of behavior analysis can be effectively applied to real life behavior problems. He looks at how behavior is assessed and various intervention techniques that are often employed with children who have autism and other special needs. Having laid these essential foundations, Kearney touches on more advanced topics: the applications of ABA in behavioral education, such as precision teaching and programmed instruction. Albert J.

Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome My Daughter is Not Naughty

Jane Alison Sherwin Foreword by Phil Christie An emotional, insightful account of raising a child with Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome (PDA). Jane Alison Sherwin’s honest and uplifting account provides insight into the challenges of bringing up a child with Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). After years of misdiagnosis, Jane’s daughter, Mollie, was diagnosed with PDA at the age of seven, and we follow her experiences pre and post diagnosis to age 10 as she attends school, interacts with the outside world and approaches adolescence. Throughout, Jane provides commentary on her daughter’s behaviour and the impact it has on her family, explaining the ‘why’ of PDA traits, including the need for control, meltdowns, obsessive behaviour and sensory issues. She reveals the strategies that have worked for Mollie and provides essential advice and information on obtaining a diagnosis and raising awareness of PDA. The book also includes an interview with Mollie. Full of advice and support, and with a focus on understanding the child and how he or she sees the world, this book will be of immeasurable value to the parents and families of children with PDA as well as the professionals working with them, particularly teachers and teaching assistants, SEN co-ordinators, psychologists, outreach workers and social workers.

“My Daughter is Not Naughty charts the up and down journey of Jane and her daughter Mollie as they discover, and then begin learning to live with, Pathological Demand Avoidance syndrome. It is a down-to-earth read that tackles difficult issues with refreshing honesty, but is delivered with the warmth and sensitivity of a mother’s touch. This may be Jane and Mollie’s story, but the degree to which it will resonate with other “PDA parents,” means it could easily be their story too.” Neville Starnes, PDA parent and member of the PDA Society’s management committee, UK

Jane Alison Sherwin began a successful career in the family business at the age of 19. When her daughter began displaying difficulties in school, eventually being diagnosed with Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome (PDA), Jane gave up work to concentrate on being her daughter’s carer, teacher, advocate, psychologist, psychiatrist and her mum all rolled into one. The same drive that made her successful in the workplace was now concentrated on her family and a need to understand what drove their unique difficulties. Jane has no professional qualifications in the field of PDA; her knowledge has been self-taught through literature, media and life experience. She lives in Staffordshire, UK.

Issy tells readers (aged 7 upwards) about all the ways she can be helped and supported by those around her. Ruth Fidler is Education Consultant at Sutherland House School, Norsaca Children’s Services. She has worked with children across the autism spectrum including those with PDA since 1993. Ruth is actively involved in delivering training nationally about PDA to parents and professionals. She also works directly with children and young people with complex autism and PDA where her areas of focus include developing self awareness, interactive approaches, emotional well being and promoting an understanding of how the autism spectrum affects individuals.

We Get It Voices of Grieving College Students and Young Adults Heather L. Servaty-Seib and David C. Fajgenbaum Narratives by grieving college students and young adults for grieving college students and young adults. A unique collection of 33 narratives by bereaved students and young adults, this books aims to help young adults who are grieving and provide guidance for those who seek to support them. Grieving the death of a loved one is difficult at any age, but it can be particularly difficult during college and young adulthood. From developing a sense of identity to living away from family and adjusting to life on and off campus, college students and young adults face a unique set of issues. These issues often make it difficult for young adults to talk about their loss, leading to a sense of isolation, different-ness and a pressure to pretend that everything is OK. The narratives included in this book are honest, engaging and heartfelt, and they help other students and young people know that they are not alone and that there are others who ‘get’ what they are going through. This book will be a lifeline for students and young adults who have lost a loved one. It will also be of immeasurable value to counselors, college administrators, grief professionals and parents. Heather Servaty-Seib, Ph.D., is a counseling psychologist and a professor on the Counseling Psychology Doctoral Program in the Department of Educational Studies at Purdue University, US. David Fajgenbaum, M.D., MSc, is an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and the co-founder of the National Students of AMF Support Network.

Counselling Skills for Working with Shame Christiane Sanderson Helps practitioners to identify and manage shame in the client and themselves. Counselling Skills for Working with Shame ensures that professionals have the skills needed to identify shame; what elicits, evokes or triggers it; and to build shame resilience in both the client and themselves. Shame is ubiquitous in counselling where there is an increased vulnerability and risk of exposure to shame. While many clients experience feelings of shame this is often overlooked in the therapeutic process and as a result is left untreated. This is particularly the case when working with clients who have experienced complex trauma, sexual or domestic violence, and who struggle with addictions. Written in an accessible style, this book is a hands-on, skills-based guide. It gives a general introduction to the nature and focus of shame in both client and counsellor and how these become entwined in the therapeutic relationship. The focus is on increasing awareness of shame and how to release it in order to build shame resilience and restore authentic pride. With points for reflection, helpful exercises, top tips, reminders and suggestions for how to work with clients this is a highly practical guide for counsellors, therapists, mental health practitioners, nurses, social workers, educators, human resources, trainee counsellors and students.

The Reality of Recovery in Personality Disorder Heather Castillo Pioneering community-based approach to recovery from personality disorder. Examining the process of recovery from personality disorder, and how, in reality, this is possible, this research-based book describes successful community-based ways to support people after diagnosis and explores the wider implications for mental ill health.

Research from The Haven, an innovative community-based project to support people through recovery from personality disorder, offers a ground-breaking model on caring for and meeting the needs of people with major mental health issues in a positive and creative way. This book presents a new way forward for the treatment of people with major mental health disorders, and is essential reading for mental health professionals, people diagnosed with personality disorder, and their families.

Dyslexia and Mental Health Helping people identify destructive behaviours and find positive ways to cope Neil Alexander-Passe Foreword by Michael Ryan,Pennie Ashton Presents extensive research on the emotional and social impact of dyslexia, common adverse coping strategies people engage in, and suggestions for support. Dyslexia is a complex condition that affects not only learning but every part of life. Experience or fear of social stigma can lead people with dyslexia to camouflage the difficulties they face, to withdraw and to adopt negative coping strategies, particularly if they lack adequate support, identification and intervention. This can have lasting impact on their emotional health. Neil Alexander-Passe is an experienced researcher and a special needs teacher in secondary mainstream education. He also has dyslexia. Neil uses his personal and professional experience to shed light on the complexities surrounding dyslexia and examines psychological theories such as ego-defence mechanisms and learned helplessness that reveal how people deal with its emotional impact. He offers guidelines and advice, illustrated with real life examples, about how to help people with dyslexia avoid harmful coping strategies and learn to deal with stress, anxiety and low selfesteem in more effective and psychologically positive ways. Neil Alexander-Passe is the Head of Learning Support (SENCO) at Mill Hill School in London, UK, as well as being a special needs teacher and researcher.

Adoption and Fostering

Assessing Adoptive and Foster Parents

Improving Analysis and Understanding of Parenting Capacity Edited by Joanne Alper and David Howe Foreword by Dr John Simmonds Improve your assessments of foster and adoptive parents and reduce the risk of placement breakdown. Assessing prospective adoptive and foster parents is an extremely complex task, and one that happens within a pressurised time frame. Currently, assessments draw substantially on interviews with prospective adopters and foster carers. Too often, they generate a lot of information but lack meaningful analysis and understanding of parenting capacity. Children with histories of trauma, loss and hurt need to join families in which parents exhibit the ability to be good at relationships, able to manage their own stress and bond with the child in their care. In this book, leading experts including Dan Hughes, Jonathan Baylin, Kim Golding and Julie Selwyn combine the latest findings from neuroscience with research on what makes good assessments. Together, they provide guidance and recommend tools for making thorough, analytical and effective assessments which will ensure the best possible chance of placement success. Joanne Alper is an experienced social worker and play therapist who has worked in local authority child care social work and child protection. In 2006 she was instrumental in setting up Adoptionplus as an Adoption Support Agency and then in 2008 as a Voluntary Adoption Agency specialising in the placement of children with high level needs.

Adoption and Fostering

Keeping Your Adoptive Family Strong Strategies for Success Gregory C. Keck and L. Gianforte Foreword by Rita L. Soronen A lifeline to help adoptive families cope. Welcoming a new child into the home through adoption is a life-altering experience-for the child, the parents, and everyone else in the family. Expectations and realities often differ dramatically, and adjusting to the change can be difficult and emotionally painful. Since the majority of children available for adoption today are in the system as the result of abuse and neglect, parents must acknowledge the fact they these young innocents will carry their trauma with them into their new homes. A willingness to address the not-so-easy, didn’t-see-thatcoming aspects of adoption is the first step toward building a strong family. A valuable resource for parents and professionals, this book provides useful strategies for facing the challenges posed by adopted children.

Children and young people in care usually fail to match the academic achievements of their peers and policy and procedures to address this inequality have not yet remedied the problem.

Helping Foster Children In School A Guide for Foster Parents, Social Workers and Teachers John DeGarmo Guidance for foster parents, social workers and educators on working together to help foster children succeed in school. Helping Foster Children In School explores the challenges that foster children face in schools and offers positive and practical guidance tailored to help the parents, teachers and social workers supporting them.

Policy, Practice and Theory John Canavan, John Pinkerton and Pat Dolan Provides an overview of the role that family support has in promoting the welfare of children and their families. Understanding Family Support provides a definition of family support and a clear perspective on the role that it has in promoting the welfare of children and their families. Family support is a concept that has been used in a range of ways to describe various aspects of child welfare policy and practice. The authors argue that this weakens family support as an overarching child welfare paradigm. They present a unifying definition of family support along with ten principles and a series of reflective practice questions applicable to: legislation and policy; organisation, management and planning; direct work with children and families; and research and evaluation. This is an important resource for any professional engaged in policy development, service design, delivering or evaluation of family support, including social workers, residential care staff, community development workers, teachers, community police, human services managers, evaluators and policy makers. John Canavan is Associate Director the UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre, a research and policy centre for which Family Support is a major area of interest. John Pinkerton is an established academic known for his research and writing in the area of family support. His work is heavily influenced by an international perspective.

In this book, ten practitioners describe a restorative encounter as seen through the lens of their own theoretical model. The book’s unique structure is modelled on a restorative practice known as Circle Time- comprising of a Check-in, a Main Activity, and a Check-out. In the Check-in the practitioner explains how their own theoretical model informs their practice; in the Main Activity they comment on the same case studies to highlight how each theory can deepen our understanding of what might be happening and why; and in the Check-out they reflect on what they have learned from reading each other’s contributions. This is a unique exemplar of how restorative theory and practice can influence how practitioners think, learn and write about restorative practice. This will be an invaluable resource for restorative practitioners working across sectors including education, social services, youth offending or policy. Belinda Hopkins is Founder and Director of Transforming Conflict, the National Centre for Restorative Approaches in Youth Settings.

What the hell happened to my brain? Kate Swaffer Foreword by Steven Sabat This much-anticipated book from prolific blogger and dementia advocate Kate Swaffer will challenge common assumptions about dementia and highlight the key issues that impact on those living with the diagnosis. Kate Swaffer was just 49 years old when she was diagnosed with a form of younger onset dementia. In this book, she offers an all-too-rare first-hand insight into that experience, sounding a clarion call for change in how we ensure a better quality of life for people with dementia. Kate describes vividly her experiences of living with dementia, exploring the effects of memory difficulties, loss of independence, leaving long-term employment, the impact on her teenage sons, and the enormous impact of the dementia diagnosis on her sense of self. Never shying away from difficult issues, she tackles head-on stigma, inadequacies in care and support, and the media’s role in perpetuating myths about dementia, suggesting ways in which we can include and empower people with the diagnosis. She also reflects on the ways in which her writing and dementia advocacy work have taken her on a process of self-discovery and enabled her to develop a new and meaningful personal identity. Kate Swaffer commenced her professional career as a nurse specialising in dementia and aged care. Following her diagnosis of younger onset dementia, she completed a BA in Writing and Creative Communications, a Bachelor of Psychology and a MSc in Dementia Care at the University of Wollongong, Australia.

Dementia, Culture and Ethnicity

Issues for All Edited by Julia Botsford and Karen Harrison Dening Foreword by Alistair Burns Exploring the impact of culture and ethnicity on dementia care and attitudes to dementia. With contributions from experienced dementia practitioners and care researchers, this book examines the impact of culture and ethnicity on the experience of dementia and on the provision of support and services, both in general terms and in relation to specific minority ethnic communities. Drawing together evidence-based research and expert practitioners’ experiences, this book highlights the ways that dementia care services will need to develop in order to ensure that provision is culturally appropriate for an increasingly diverse older population. The book examines cultural issues in terms of assessment and engagement with people with dementia, challenges for care homes, and issues for supporting families from diverse ethnic backgrounds in relation to planning end of life care and bereavement. First-hand accounts of living with dementia from a range of cultural and ethnic backgrounds give unique perspectives into different attitudes to dementia and dementia care. The contributors also examine recent policy and strategy on dementia care and the implications for working with culture and ethnicity.

People with Dementia Speak Out Edited by Lucy Whitman An anthology of personal accounts by people with dementia. What does it feel like to have dementia? What can we learn - and what can doctors, psychiatrists and other practitioners learn - by listening to the stories of people with dementia? Despite an increasing profile of dementia in the media, the voices of people with dementia are still very rarely heard. This anthology sets out to change that, by gathering together personal testimonies from people with mild to moderate dementia. They describe their lives before and after their diagnosis, shedding light on how they first became aware that something was wrong, their experiences of diagnosis, how the condition affects them and the ways in which their lives have changed. Their stories reflect the regional, social and ethnic diversity of the UK, revealing the individuality of different people’s experiences of living with dementia, as well as challenging preconceptions about the condition. This book will offer valuable advice to people living with dementia, and their family and friends, as well as helpful insights for dementia care practitioners and carers. Lucy Whitman is a writer, teacher and activist who cared for her mother when she developed vascular dementia. She is the editor of Telling Tales About Dementia: Experiences of Caring, also published by JKP. Lucy lives in London, UK.

arts therapies

Art Therapy with Neurological Conditions Edited by Sally Weston and Marian Liebmann Foreword by Jackie Ashley How art therapy can transform rehabilitation after brain injury or life with a neurological condition. By creating a therapeutic outlet for self-expression and processing trauma, art therapy can play a powerful role in assisting people with a brain injury or neurological condition to adjust to living with altered abilities and ways of thinking. Bringing together a wealth of expertise from specialists working with a range of conditions including epilepsy, dementia, acquired brain injury, motor neurone disease and multiple sclerosis, this book describes both the effects of the conditions and the ways in which art therapy has helped in the rehabilitation process. The book includes work with groups and individuals and with a wide range of settings and age groups, from children to older adults, and discusses the implications of research from neuroscience and neuropsychology. This will be essential reading for art therapists and students working with neurological conditions. Other professionals working with people with neurological conditions such as psychotherapists and counsellors, doctors, nurses and complementary therapists will also find it of interest. Sally Weston has worked as an art therapist in the NHS, in adult mental health in Bradford and for the past 17 years in neurological rehabilitation. In addition she has run art therapy groups for people with dementia, MIND members, adults and children.

As the emotional components of physical illnesses become more recognised, there is a renewed interest in the potential of art therapy to help patients come to terms with injury, pain and terminal and life-long conditions. A wide range of experienced art therapists describe their work and its benefits to a variety of groups including those with cancer, debilitating conditions such as myalgic encephalopathy (M.E.) and ulcerative colitis. Physical conditions in combination with other factors such as homelessness or learning disabilities, and children with life-long and chronic conditions are also covered. The book includes discussion of spiritual and philosophical issues when mortality is faced, life change and adjustment issues, practical considerations and which models of practice art therapists find most helpful with various groups. This will be essential reading for arts therapists and students, as well as for professionals with an interest in psychological issues and wellbeing for patients with physical illness or long term conditions, such as psychotherapists and counsellors, complementary therapists, doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals.

Mindful Art Therapy

A Foundation for Practice Barbara Jean Davis Innovative approaches demonstrate how traditional Eastern wisdom can be integrated into modern art therapy and psychotherapeutic practice. The mindful art therapy presented in this book places inner contemplation, openness and visual language at its centre, showing how traditional Eastern wisdom can be integrated into modern psychotherapeutic practice for mind-body wellness. This book introduces a foundation for mindful art therapy practice by providing a coherent framework that bridges paradigms between eastern and western traditions. The author clarifies different approaches from mindfulness traditions to guide students and practitioners in determining the most suitable and personalised method for practice, research and professional development. The book features case studies and artworks from the treatment of common clinical presentations such as anxiety and depression and includes a guided meditation script and audio file. This book is an essential text for art therapy and psychology students, academics and allied health professionals who seek to integrate mindful art therapy into research and practice. Barbara Davis is a psychologist and art therapist in private practice specializing in mindful art therapy. She is an international member of the American Art Therapy Association.

Integrating Art Therapy and Yoga Therapy Yoga, Art, and the Use of Intention Karen Gibbons A practical guide to integrating art therapy-based and yoga therapy-based techniques in clinical practice to enhance therapeutic outcomes. This dynamic approach to therapy combines yoga and art to heal the whole person - body, mind and spirit - through the use of intention. In this practical guide art therapists will learn how to incorporate yoga poses, mudras and meditation, and yoga therapists to introduce art directives, into individual and group clinical work for a more holistic healing process. Readers will discover the parallels that exist between the two modalities, and how to use a specific intention as a framework for structuring sessions, with the aim of reaching a deeper level of healing in their clinical work. Guidelines for staying within each modality’s scope of practice and working ethically are included, as well as an extensive Practice Chart, which shows how to match treatment concerns with an intention, mudra meditation, yoga poses and art activity. Ideal for art therapists looking to expand and enhance their practice, this book will also appeal to yoga therapists and teachers with an interest in art-based techniques. Although primarily meant for therapists, it is also accessible for individuals looking for self-improvement. Karen Gibbons works in private practice incorporating yoga and art therapies, whilst a consultant for the Art Therapy Outreach Center.

Deep Play - Exploring the Use of Depth in Psychotherapy with Children Edited by Dennis McCarthy Foreword by Shaun McNiff Offering theoretical grounding and practical techniques that demonstrate the profound therapeutic impact deep play can produce in work with children. Therapeutic deep play has the capacity for children to express deep emotions, overcome seemingly insurmountable issues and resolve serious problems. Working with children in this profound way, therapists are able to not only eliminate symptoms, but to change the very structure of how children live with themselves, their defense and belief systems. The contributors to this book all work deeply, allowing children to take risks in a safe environment, and become fully absorbed in physical play. Chapters include play with deep sandboxes, clay, water, and various objects, and look at a range of pertinent case studies to demonstrate the therapeutic techniques in practice, alongside the theoretical concepts in which they are grounded. A new theoretical approach is established that takes from psychoanalysis as well as neuroscience and behaviourism, and offers a depth psychology approach in the treatment of children. This will be a valuable resource for anyone working therapeutically with children through play.

Basic Anatomy and Physiology for the Music Therapist Daniel J. Schneck The essential elements of anatomy and physiology fundamental to the practice of music therapy. Providing need-to-know information about the human body for music therapists, this book covers the elements of anatomy and physiology that are of particular relevance to clinical practice. Addressing both the structure and function of the human body, the material is presented with the music therapist in mind. Particular attention is paid to the role of music in affecting responses from the organ systems, including the senses, the endocrine glands, the immune system, the musculoskeletal system, the nervous systems and the vestibular system. Dr Schneck also uses accessible musical metaphors to explain complex biological information. Emphasising the symbiotic relationship between music and the body, this book reveals how an understanding of this relationship can help music therapists to practice more effectively, and will be of interest to students and practitioners alike. Dr Daniel J. Schneck is a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering and the Biomedical Engineering Society. He has published widely, including 24 books, and is a National Book Award nominated author. He is an international consultant on basic physiological function and the role of music in human adaptation. He is also an accomplished violinist and continues to perform professionally. He is based in Virginia, USA.

Guided Imagery & Music (GIM) and Music Imagery Methods for Individual and Group Therapy Edited by Denise Grocke and Torben Moe Foreword by Cathy McKinney Edited volume articulating a spectrum of approaches in which music and imagery are used therapeutically. This is the first book to systematically describe the range of approaches used in music imagery and Guided Imagery and Music across the lifespan, from young children through to palliative care with older people. Covering a broad spectrum of client populations and settings, international contributors present various adaptations of the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery to accommodate factors such as time restraints, context (including hospitals, schools, and the wider community), client symptomology, and the increasing use of more contemporary music. Each chapter presents a different model and includes background information on the client group, the type of approach, elements of approach (including length of the session, choice of music, verbal interventions during the music, and discussion of the experience), and theoretical orientation and intention. A nomenclature for the range of approaches is also included. This information will be a valued guide for both practitioners and students of Guided Imagery and Music and receptive methods of music therapy.

Flute, Accordion or Clarinet? Using the Characteristics of Our Instruments in Music Therapy Edited by Amelia Oldfield, Jo Tomlinson and Dawn Loombe Foreword by Sarah Rodgers The first music therapy book to bring together accounts of clinical work with a wide range of musical nstruments. Music therapists are trained to use their first study instrument in clinical practice, yet existing literature focuses almost exclusively on the use of piano, basic percussion and voice. This illuminating book brings together international music therapists who use a diverse range of musical instruments in their clinical work: the clarinet, the piano accordion, the flute, the cello, the trumpet and flugelhorn, the bassoon, the violin, the viola, the harp, the guitar, lower brass instruments (the trombone and the euphonium), the oboe, the saxophone and bass instruments (double bass and bass guitar). Each therapist reflects on their relationship with their instrument and the ways in which they use it in therapeutic settings, discussing its advantages and disadvantages in a variety of clinical populations: children and adolescents, adults with learning disabilities, adults with mental health problems and older people. Amelia Oldfield has worked as a music therapist with children and families for over 34 years. She currently practices as a clinician in Child and Family Psychiatry in Cambridge and lectures as a music therapy professor at Anglia Ruskin University.
