Book Synopsis Unravelling Trauma and Weaving Resilience with Systemic and Narrative Therapy by : Sabine Vermeire
Download or read book Unravelling Trauma and Weaving Resilience with Systemic and Narrative Therapy written by Sabine Vermeire and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unravelling Trauma and Weaving Resilience with Systemic and Narrative Therapy is an innovative book that details how clinicians can engage children, families and their networks in creative and collaborative relationships to elicit change within the context of trauma and violence. Combining systemic, narrative and dialogical theoretical frameworks with clinical examples, this volume focuses on therapeutic conversations that can help children, and those involved with them, deconstruct their experienced difficulties, and create more hopeful stories and alternative ways of relating to one another through a sense of play. Vermeire advocates for serious playfulness as a way of directly addressing trauma and its effects, as well as along ‘trauma-sensitive’ side paths. Puppetry, artwork, interviews and theatre play are used to weave networks of resilience in ever-widening circles and this approach is informed by the awareness that individual problems are always to be seen as relational, social and political. This book is an important read for therapists and social workers who work with traumatised children and their multi-stressed families.

Download or read book Poker Face written by Katy Lederer and published by Crown. This book was released on 2010-02-24 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The intricacies of family and the complexities of the games they play mingle wonderfully here in a memoir quite unlike any other.”—George Plimpton, author of Truman Capote Katy Lederer grew up on the bucolic campus of an exclusive East Coast boarding school where her father taught English, her mother retreated into crosswords and scotch, and her much older siblings played “grown-up” games like gin rummy and chess. But Katy faced much more than the typical trials of childhood. Within the confines of the Lederer household an unlikely transformation was brewing, one that would turn this darkly intellectual and game-happy group into a family of professional gamblers. Poker Face is Katy Lederer’s perceptive account of her family’s lively history. From the long kitchen table where her mother played what seemed an endless game of solitaire, to the seedy New York bars where her brother first learned to play poker, to the glamorous Bellagio casino in Las Vegas, where her sister and brother wager hundreds of thousands of dollars a night at the tables, Lederer takes us on a tragicomic journey through a world where intelligence and deceit are used equally as currency. Not since Mary McCarthy’s Memories of a Catholic Girlhood has a writer cast such a witty and astringently analytic eye on the demands of growing up. An unflinching exploration of trust and betrayal, competition, suspicion, and unconventional familial love, Poker Face is a testament to the human spirit’s inventiveness when faced with unusually difficult odds.

Book Synopsis Poker Face in Mental Health Practice: A Primer on Deception Analysis and Detection by : Ansar Haroun
Download or read book Poker Face in Mental Health Practice: A Primer on Deception Analysis and Detection written by Ansar Haroun and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2011-11-28 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the latest techniques from poker players to detect when your patients are lying to you. Forensic psychiatrists frequently deal with deceptive people. In these cases, malingering is the most common type of deception one encounters. However, deception on the part of mental health clients in other treatment settings is much broader and more complex than malingering, and learning the signs of deception can be useful for therapists in any specialty, especially those who do not necessarily take what their clients tell them at face value. The book begins with an introduction to some basic concepts concerning deception, with particular emphasis on “what it is” and “what it isn’t.” It then looks at the motivations behind and methods of deception in mental health practice, as well as the common contexts in which deception occurs. Finally, with an eye toward the detection of deception, the book looks at the game of poker as a “clinical case study” to explore whether the popular notion of “tells” has any relevance to the practice of mental health treatment. This short and uniquely illustrated guide will help mental health professionals determine when, why, and how their clients may lie to them. With some of the analysis based on insights from the world of poker players, readers will learn about methods of deception, reasons why clients deceive them, and the best methods to uncover the truth.

Book excerpt: What to expect and not to Expect From Poker Face Reader (TM) This groundbreaking program focuses on one topic, how to "read" a poker face, This unique system teaches readers to detect, interpret and exploit Poker Face Tells(TM). Players who master this new skill gain a winning advantage in poker. The system introduces players to ways of reading emotions in the face. These emotions appear as micro-expressions.

That's why the authors say, "You can run, but you can't hide from a poker face reader!" By learning how to "read" a poker face, readers penetrate an opponent's false mask. They can even spot bluffs. Readers become expert at interpreting fleeting emotions within a tiny fraction of a second. Your opponents cannot hide expressions such as fear or disgust. Telltale emotional expressions are uncontrollable and unconscious. They are also invisible to most other players. Poker Face Reader focuses readers' attention on seven major emotions. They are Happiness, Sadness, Fear, Anger, Disgust, Surprise, and Contempt. The examples in the book exaggerate each emotion to help readers recognizes them in any poker situation. They reveal the strength or weakness of poker hands. An effective way for readers to become expert is a four-step process. The first step is to study the text and the pictures of each emotion. The second step is to practice observing many faces. Readers learn to practice skills in private meetings as well as with strangers in public settings. The third step is to practice spotting emotions while observing live poker games. The fourth step is to apply knowledge of poker face "tells" in live poker games. Readers will develop enough expertise to become skilled poker face readers. They can win in most small stakes games. The authors avoid distracting readers with discussions of such topics as bankroll management and poker math. When readers learn to read poker faces, they can make optimal use of other poker skills.. Respectfully, Richard A. Lacey, Ed.D. and Sherry Lane

Book Synopsis The Education of a Poker Player by : Herbert O Yardley
Download or read book The Education of a Poker Player written by Herbert O Yardley and published by . This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the Bible of Poker, the book that every serious poker player has read and studied. Walter Browne, chess grandmaster and professional poker player, read and studied this book. Herbert O. Yardley, whose training in, and mastery of, the subtleties of poker made him just the kind of agile thinker whom you would expect to crack the Japanese Diplomatic Code (he did) and to write the classic book on codes, ciphers and spies (The American Black Chamber) Here is what the boys in back will have: This book talks about poker and people the way poker players talk about poker and people. It is lusty, funny, cool and knowing. The anecdotes are probably not for your Aunt Hermine. The poker instruction is for anyone (possibly including your Aunt Hermine) who likes to walk away from an all-night session a winner. Each chapter begins with a superb poker story story. Then comes a scientific analysis of the type of poker that was being played. (For example, the story of the corn grower who bets his farm against a circus tent show at Five-Card Draw, Deuces Wild - and wins under the fortunate circumstance of no longer being alive at the time - is followed by a brilliant analysis of how to play your cards at Five Cards Draw, Deuces Wild.) The author's tales of his early training in poker (in his teens when he was the protege of the celebrated Monty, who ran the only clean game in the only clean saloon in his section of the old West) amount to a professional education in the theory and practice of winning. His adventures in the Orient (in between assignments as a secret agent Yardley relaxed his mind - and in a sense repaid his debt to Money - by teaching a young Chinese boy strategic poker) are a post-graduate course in the art of the bluff - how to manage it artistically and successfully - whether the stake is a nest of Nazi spies or a big pot in Seven-Card Stud, Hi-Lo, plus just about every other poker variation you could name.
