Deborah D. Gray is the author of the bestselling book for parents, Attaching in Adoption: Practical Tools for Today’s Parents and an awardwinning book for professionals, Nurturing Adoptions: Creating Resilience after Neglect and Trauma. Deborah has been described as “attachment guru” by Adoptive Families magazine, and specializes in the attachment, grief, and trauma issues of children in her private practice, Nurturing Attachments, which is based in Washington, USA. Find out more about Deborah on her website: www.deborahdgray.com.

Capturing the warmth and fun of forming close relationships with children, this book offers simple advice to parents of children who find it difficult to attach and bond – whether following adoption, divorce or other difficult experiences. Attachment therapist Deborah D. Gray describes how to use the latest thinking on attachment in your daily parenting. She reveals sensory techniques which have proven to help children bond – straightforward activities like keeping close eye contact or stroking a child’s feet or cheeks – and explains why routines like mealtimes and play time are so important in helping children to attach. The book offers positive ideas for responding to immediate crises like difficult behaviour and meltdowns, but importantly also offers longerterm strategies to help children to develop the skills they need to cope as they grow up – the ability to plan, concentrate and be in control of their emotions, offering fascinating insights into how children who struggle to attach can be helped. ‘… there really is something for everyone here. I especially liked the focus on parents taking care of themselves and the way that all behavioural management suggestions are provided within the context of providing warm, nurturing care that promotes connection, security, and self esteem. When these qualities are central within parenting our children will grow to successful maturity able to fulfil their potential.’ - Kim Golding, Clinical Psychologist with Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust Understanding Disorganized Attachment Theory and Practice for Working with Children and Adults David Shemmings and Yvonne Shemmings

Louis Sydney, Elsie Price and Adoptionplus June 2014 • 208pp • 9781849055086 • pb • £19.99 • $34.95

From interim care proceedings through to adoption, most children who are fostered or adopted have some level of contact with their birth family - whether face-to-face or by letter - yet most of the time the psychological impact of contact on the child isn’t considered. This book explores what attachment, neuroscience and trauma tell us about how contact affects children, and shows how poorly executed contact can be unhelpful or even harmful to the child. Assessment frameworks are provided which take the child’s developmental needs into account. The authors also outline a model for managing and planning contact to make it more purposeful and increase its potential for therapeutic benefit. The book covers the challenges presented by the internet for managing contact, unique issues for children in kinship care, problems that arise when adoptive parents separate and many other key issues for practice. Brimming with practical advice and creative solutions, this is an indispensable tool for any professional involved in contact arrangements or the therapeutic support of fostered and adopted children.

Taking Play Therapy out of the Playroom and into Natural Environments

Alison Chown Foreword by Sara Knight June 2014 • 208pp • 9781849054089 • pb • £18.99 • $29.95

Alison Chown is a play therapist and experienced specialist teacher for children and young people with complex behavioural, emotional and social difficulties.

Championing the therapeutic power of nature, this book explores why outdoor play therapy offers children more than being confined to a playroom and how practice can be moved into the natural environment in a safe and ethical way. By using outdoor environments, the traditional dyadic relationship between the therapist and the child becomes a triadic one in which the therapeutic process is enhanced and the environment for the play therapy is shared and therefore more ‘democratic’. The child can develop a lifelong therapeutic attachment to the ‘nature mother’ which supports the development of the body self and a growing recognition of our interdependence with nature. The author explores how this is achievable in practice and the benefits to children with a wide range of needs including profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD), complex social, emotional and behavioural problems (SEBD) and attachment issues. Synthesising traditions of using outdoor spaces in a therapeutic context with approaches from educational perspectives, this book offers a theoretically-sound and practical framework for constructive and therapeutic outdoor play.

How Affect Script Psychology Explains How and Why Restorative Practice Works

Edited by Vernon C. Kelly, Jr. and Margaret Thorsborne Foreword by Andrew Becroft May 2014 • 224pp • 9781849059749 • pb • £24.99 • $39.95

How and why does restorative practice (RP) work? This book presents the biological theory, affect script psychology (ASP), behind RP, and shows how it works in practice in different settings. ASP explains how the central nervous system triggers ‘affects’ which are the basis of all human motivation and emotion. The book presents a clear explanation of what ASP is, how it relates to RP, and how ASP helps practitioners to understand relationships, emotions and dynamics in their work. The chapters are based around case studies which demonstrate RP in criminal justice, organizational and education settings. They show how theory links to practice, and how having a deep understanding of the theory has helped practitioners to be successful in their work.

Personalisation and Dementia

A Guide for Person-Centred Practice

Helen Sanderson and Gill Bailey Foreword by Jeremy Hughes October 2013 • 192pp • 9781849053792 • pb • £25.00 • $39.95

Personalisation builds on person-centred care to focus on how people with dementia can have more choice and control in their lives, and be supported to be part of their community. This practical guide explains how to deliver personalised services and support for people with dementia through simple, evidence-based person-centred practices and tools.

Helen Sanderson is CEO of Helen Sanderson Associates (HSA) and Director Emeritus of the International Community for PersonCentred Practices. Gill Bailey trained initially as a nurse and has worked with a range of providers and commissioning units across adult health and social care for over twenty-five years.

‘The person-centred practices outlined in this book show how to deliver genuine personalisation… It is about the stuff that makes a life worth living: each person as an individual with their own needs, wishes, and dreams to be recognised and met… I therefore warmly welcome the timely publication of a book that seeks to ensure we always see the person and not the dementia .’ - from the Foreword by Jeremy Hughes, Chief Executive of the Alzheimer’s Society ‘This is a really useful book… The person-centred thinking tools prompt readers to see what is really important to help people live their lives…. The worked examples are very real and moving and underscore that this is not just a paper exercise. This is essential reading for all advocates of person-centred care.’ - Professor Dawn Brooker, Director of the University of Worcester Association for Dementia Studies

Making Individual Service Funds Work for People with Dementia Living in Care Homes How it Works in Practice

Helen Sanderson and Gill Bailey with Lisa Martin July 2014 • 144pp • 9781849055451 • pb • £18.99 • $39.95

Dispelling the myths about how personalisation works for people with dementia living in care homes, this book demonstrates how to introduce Individual Service Funds (ISFs), what works and what doesn’t, and how to deal with difficulties and setbacks. Individual Service Funds are one way that people living with dementia can have a personal budget. The authors explain how they went about introducing the principles of ISFs to people living with dementia in a large care home in Stockport, without using any additional funding. They describe the person-centred practices used and the involvement of the council, commissioners, staff and families. Through clear and detailed stories and examples, they demonstrate the dramatic approach to quality of life for people with dementia the approach can deliver. There is a strong emphasis on managerial and organisational issues, including getting staff ‘on board’, providing adequate support, budgeting, building effective partnerships and implementing change. Providing helpful insights and examples for good practice, this book is essential reading for all those involved in providing personalised care for people with dementia living in care homes. Person-Centred Counselling for People with Dementia Making Sense of Self

Danuta Lipinska Foreword by Brian Thorne 2009 • 128pp • 9781843109785 • pb • £14.99 • $23.95

Danuta Lipinska has worked with people with dementia in the community for many years. She has a BA in Psychology and MA in Counselling.

This book explores the value of counselling for people living with dementia and how it enables them to make sense of their lives and their notions of themselves. Based on the author’s own experiences of counselling people with dementia, the book covers the fundamentals of the counselling process and precisely what a person-centred approach entails. The book then brings together several theories of counselling such as the role of the ‘spiritual’ in the counselling relationship; working with concepts of relational depth and configurations of Self; and the author’s own theories of relating to a person’s spiritual core. Accumulating findings from over 20 years of counselling experience in both the UK and the US, this book explores the importance of the Self and recognising each individual’s worth and value. ‘…this is a book that you cannot afford to be without.’ - The Journal of Ageing & Society

Personhood, Rights, Ethics, the Arts and What They Mean for Care

Julian C. Hughes July 2014 • 240pp • 9781849054775 • pb • £19.99 • $39.95

Professor Julian C. Hughes is Consultant in Old Age Psychiatry for Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and Honorary Professor of Philosophy of Ageing at the Institute for Ageing and Health, Newcastle University.

Exploring concepts of ageing, personhood, capacity, liberty, best interests and the nature and ethics of palliative care, this book will help those in the caring professions to understand and engage with the thoughts and arguments underpinning the experience of dementia and dementia care. Dementia is associated with ageing: what is the significance of this? People speak about person-centred care, but what is personhood and how can it be maintained? What is capacity, and how is it linked with the way a person with dementia is cared for as a human being? How should we think about the law in relation to the care of older people? Is palliative care the right approach to dementia, and if so what are the consequences of this view? What role can the arts play in ensuring quality of life for people with dementia? In answering such questions, Julian Hughes brings our attention back to the philosophical and ethical underpinnings of dementia care, shedding new light on the significance and implications for those in the caring professions, academics and researchers, and those living with dementia and their families.

Creating Culturally Appropriate Outside Spaces and Experiences for People with Dementia Using Nature and the Outdoors in Person-Centred Care

Jane Gilliard is a social worker who has worked in dementia care for over 25 years. She established Dementia Voice, the dementia services development centre for South West England, and was its director from 1997 to 2005.

Demonstrating that it is essential to be sensitive to the cultural backgrounds of people with dementia in order to provide truly person-centred care, this book shows that it is possible to create culturally appropriate outdoor spaces and experiences that resonate with people with dementia on a fundamental level and are a source of comfort and wellbeing. Contributors drawn from a variety of backgrounds describe the significance of nature in the lives of people with dementia from diverse cultures, faiths, traditions and geographical locations, providing helpful insights into how access to the natural world may be achieved within different care settings. There are contributions from the UK (Scottish island, urban North East England and Norfolk farming communities), Canada, Norway, Japan, Australia, Sudan and South Africa, as well as a chapter on the specific difficulty of providing access to nature for people with dementia in hospitals. The voices of people with dementia and their carers are prominent throughout, and the book also contains evocative poetry and photographs of people with dementia enjoying nature and the outdoors in different contexts. A rich source of information and ideas for all those interested in creating culturally appropriate outdoor spaces and experiences for people with dementia, including dementia care practitioners, especially those at managerial level, policy makers, commissioners and those involved in designing and commissioning buildings and services.

This groundbreaking book reveals the findings of the first major study on spiritual reminiscence with people with dementia. The authors present evidence for the efficacy of spiritual reminiscence with this group, and drawing on examples demonstrate its many benefits, as revealed by the study. Transcripts of sessions are included throughout the book as examples, providing unprecedented insight into how people with dementia experience spiritual reminiscence, and encouraging reflective practice. ‘The writers’ understanding of “spiritual reminiscence” makes a further and significant advance in person-centred care. The verbatim reports of group work on finding meaning in life will be startlingly revealing… The book sounds a clarion call to care providers to be willing to take the next step in changing the culture of care for the better.’ - plus

Positive shifts in attitudes mean that emphasis is now being placed on the person with dementia and their personal relationships, rather than the illness. There is also growing recognition of the significance of a person’s spiritual life in forming an essential basis for their sense of identity, and in providing them with a resource for coping. Offering an inter-disciplinary approach to spirituality and personhood in dementia care, the contributors to this book are leading practitioners and researchers in the field. They provide both a theoretical structure and a practical understanding of the essential role that spirituality can play in the affirmation of personhood and identity, and of ways in which the spiritual well-being of people with dementia can be nurtured. ‘…Everyone involved with persons with dementia will find this book an invaluable tool in understanding and meeting the needs of the people about whom they are concerned.’ - International Journal of Person Centered Medicine

Writings About the End of Life

Edited by Roger Kirkpatrick Foreword by Jonathan Dimbleby January 2014 • 128pp • 9781849054904 • pb • £8.99 • $14.95

A collection of short stories and poems about death and dying. These moving and heartfelt pieces offer insights into the profound thoughts and emotions surrounding grief, bereavement, end of life and facing death. They offer readers the support of a shared experience, and the opportunity to open up about the difficult subject of death and dying.

The stories and poems in this collection were originally written for a competition run by the Dying Matters Coalition. The website can be found at www.dyingmatters.org. Roger Kirkpatrick is currently an NCPC volunteer, and the Final Chapters project was his brainchild.

‘A collection such as this is bound to be very moving and sympathetic: the subject makes it inevitable. But the pieces in this collection are much more than cries of grief. For all their sadness, they are also brave, resolute, clever, and sometimes even funny. This means the book has a kind of stoic nobility, as well as a warm humanity. It’s a very powerful combination.’ - Sir Andrew Motion, former Poet Laureate ‘…At some point we will all face that inevitable terminus, the end of life. I think you will find that by facing that implacable fact, Final Chapters makes this shared prospect less daunting and therefore, perhaps, more bearable as well.’ - from the Foreword by Jonathan Dimbleby, Chair of Dimbleby Cancer Care, UK Writing in Bereavement A Creative Handbook

Edited by Sue Read Foreword by Owen Barr August 2014 • 256pp • 9781849053693 • pb • £29.99 • $49.95

Sue Read, PhD, is Professor of Learning Disability Nursing at Keele University, UK, and has worked in the area of intellectual disabilities since 1976. Her research interests include loss, death, dying and bereavement specifically, although not exclusively, with people with intellectual disabilities. She is also a practicing clinician supporting people with an intellectual disability and their families.

Exploring contemporary theory and practice surrounding loss and bereavement for people with an Intellectual Disability (ID), this book brings together international contributors with a range of academic, professional and personal experience. This authoritative edited book looks at diverse experiences of loss across this population whether it be loss due to transition, the loss or death of others, or facing their own impending death.

What sort of people should nurses be? Derek makes this difficult but important area of nursing inquiry much, much easier.

Helen Sanderson is Director Emeritus of the International Community for Person-Centred Practices. She has been closelyinvolved in the development of person-centred thinking and planning in the UK over the last 15 years.

This book demonstrates very clearly how the personalisation of support and services works in practice. The authors describe how Jennie, a young person with autism and learning difficulties, was supported through the transition from school to living independently using simple, evidence-based person-centred planning tools. Jennie’s story illustrates the importance of quality person-centred reviews, dispels the many myths surrounding Individual Service Funds and personal budgets and demonstrates how families, schools and other agencies can work collaboratively to help young people with disabilities move into adulthood with more choice and control over their lives, and with better life prospects. Practical pointers for readers to apply to their own circumstances are included, and the book contains helpful examples of the key person-centred thinking tools. ‘…I have been privileged to work closely with a number of key people in central government departments, with colleagues across the voluntary and independent sectors and with other local authorities. There is enormous commitment across the country, at all levels, to bring about a culture change in the way we identify strengths and needs, and provide support to children with additional needs and their families. Suzie’s story reinforces my view that significant change should and can happen, and we must make it happen.’ - from the afterword by Andrew Webb, President of The Association of Directors of Children’s Services Ltd (ADCS) and Corporate Director, Services for People, Stockport Council Cognitive Analytic Therapy for People with Intellectual Disabilities and their Carers Edited by Julie Lloyd and Philip Clayton Foreword by Val Crowley December 2013 • 320pp • 9781849054096 • pb • £22.99 • $39.95
