This book was released on 2011-06-16 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What is particularly impressive is the way that Rosie relates different therapeutic theories and practices to each other. Her years of experience as a therapist shine through." Michael Jacobs, one of the founders of psychodynamic therapy & author of The Presenting Past "Rosie March-Smith draws on her rich experience working with couples to provide a wealth of insights and pointers for all of us." Prof Peter Hawkins, psychotherapist "Rosie March-Smith has provided an insightful and rewarding journey into an area that we would all like to be better at – our relationships to others." David Hamilton, Counselling student at South Kent College, UK "Rosie March-Smith covers some key themes from her integrative framework about people’s relational styles such as hidden controllers, core issues and sub personalities ... I really enjoyed how she linked her view of relationships with personality types to give me new insight ... Throughout the book Rosie March-Smith gives case studies which made the chapter subject come alive for me and deepen my understanding ... I believe this book would therefore appeal to trainee, newly qualified and more experienced therapists working with individuals only as well as those working or about to work with couples." Lynn Barnes, Counselling Student, Metanoia Institute, UK "I would recommend this book for anyone who has an interest in relationship therapy, is doing a course in counselling or has a general interest in patterns of human behaviour. There is a great deal of rich, deep and thought-provoking material in it, which is written in a very accessible and interesting way." David Seddon, Nottingham University, UK This fascinating book reveals what goes on in therapy sessions. It shows you how getting to the core of a painful issue or a relationship problem can be achieved within the first few sessions. Skilfully illustrating how exploring the unconscious mind can help people to overcome relationship difficulties, Rosie March-Smith writes for both clinicians and those readers interested to learn how therapy works. The book argues that the underlying cause in relationship breakdown of any kind is almost always rooted in childhood and insists that getting to the core of the problem quickly is essential and can also be achieved within the first few sessions. Relationship problems at home, in the workplace, in social situations and in times of illness are sympathetically explored through client case studies and post-therapy interviews. Interviewees reveal their deepest feelings and learn to cope with tragedy, or with the sadness of inexplicable marital collapse. Offering invaluable learning tools for mental health professionals and trainees, Relationship Therapy provides helpful insights for anyone interested in understanding more about therapy. With a foreword by Michael Jacobs. Rosie March-Smith is a registered psychotherapist with the UK Council for Psychotherapy. She has written extensively on education and mental health matters and has been a psychotherapist in private practice for over twenty years.
Book Synopsis Positive Couple Therapy by : Jefferson A. Singer
Download or read book Positive Couple Therapy written by Jefferson A. Singer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Positive Couple Therapy: Using We-Stories to Enhance Resilience is a significant step forward in the couple literature. Utilizing a strengths-based approach, it teaches therapists and couples a unique method for uncovering positive potential within a relationship. The authors demonstrate how “We stories”–created, recovered and made anew–provide essential elements of connection. With vivid imagery, these stories capture the couple’s sense of “We-ness,” highlighting memorable moments of compassion, acceptance, and respect. A shared commitment to the “We” simultaneously builds the relationship and enables each individual in the partnership to feel a greater degree of both accountability and autonomy. Couples that can find their stories, share them with each other, and then carry them forward to family, friends, and a larger community are likely to preserve a sense of mutuality that will thrive over a lifetime of partnership. Positive Couple Therapy provides simple and practical instruction for reclaiming positive stories that can catalyze hope in relationships that have become stressed and strained. The authors weave together cutting edge thinking and research in attachment theory, narrative therapy, neuroscience, and adult development, as well as their own research and clinical experience to present vivid case histories, step-by-step strategies, exercises, questionnaires, and interview techniques. They cover a range of contemporary couple experiences: couples in conflict, LGBT partnerships, deployed and discharged military couples, and couples at various points across the life span. The authors’ unique Me (to US) Scale, a 10-item tool that assesses the degree of mutuality a couple possesses at the start of treatment, gives therapists of any theoretical orientation the ability to put this intervention to immediate use.
Book Synopsis The Client Who Changed Me by : Jeffrey A. Kottler, Ph. D.
Download or read book The Client Who Changed Me written by Jeffrey A. Kottler, Ph. D. and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-12-11 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the impact that clients can have on therapists is well-known, most work on the subject consists of dire warnings: mental health professionals are taught early on to be on their guard for burnout, compassion fatigue, and countertransference. However, while these professional hazards are very real, the scholarly focus on the negative potential of the client-counselor relationship often implies that no good can come of allowing oneself to get too close to a client's issues. This sentiment obscures what every therapist knows to be true: that the client-counselor relationship can also effect powerful positive transformations in a therapist's own life. The Client Who Changed Me is Jeffrey Kottler and Jon Carlson's testimony to the significant and often life-changing ways in which therapists have been changed by their patients. Kottler and Carlson draw not only upon their own extensive experience - between them, they have more than fifty years in the field - but also upon lengthy interviews with dozens of the country's foremost therapists and theorists. This novel work presents readers with a truly unique perspective on the business of therapy: not merely how it appears externally, but how practitioners experience it internally. Although these stories paint a complex and multi-layered portrait of the client-counselor relationship, they all demonstrate the profound and unexpected rewards that the profession has to offer.

As you will see, and as these therapists reveal, sometimes all the top-notch and most innovative theories in the world won’t help a client in distress.Tales from Family Therapy isn’t just about therapists learning a lesson or two from their clients. It’s about compassion, healing, being taken by surprise, thinking on your toes, and encouraging people to believe in their strengths--not just their weaknesses. These stories represent to the authors some of the most special, most rewarding, and most puzzling moments in all their years of therapy. They invite you to share in their recollections and discussions of: the power of speaking accepting, respecting, and working with the realities clients bring the importance of first impressions in counseling how personal narratives develop through relationship coloring outside the lines of the dominant culture helping clients determine when rocking the boat is needed listening to your clients and not just your theories developing the self-of-therapist In the therapy room anything can happen, and as Tales from Family Therapy shows, anything does.

Book Synopsis The Stories We Tell Ourselves by : J. Mark Thompson
Download or read book The Stories We Tell Ourselves written by J. Mark Thompson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-23 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Stories We Tell Ourselves: Mentalizing Tales of Dating and Marriage is about the dynamics of intimate interpersonal relationships (dating and marriage) - how and why human pairings occur, what helps them function optimally and how therapists can intervene when they don't. J. Mark Thompson and Richard Tuch employ a multidimensional perspective that provides a variety of "lenses" through which intimate relationships can be viewed. The authors also offer a new model of couples therapy based on the mentalization model of treatment developed by Peter Fonagy and his colleagues. This book is aimed at those interested in the nature of intimate relationships as well as those wishing to expand their clinical skills, whether they are conducting one-on-one therapy with individuals struggling to establish and maintain intimate relations or are conducting conjoint treatment with troubled couples who have sought the therapist's assistance. Thompson and Tuch view relationships from a wide array of different perspectives: mentalization, attachment theory, evolutionary psychology, psychoanalysis, pattern recognition (neuroscience), and role theory. A mentalization based approach to couples therapy is clearly explained in a "how to" fashion, with concrete suggestions about how the therapist goes about clinically intervening given their expanded understanding of the dynamics of intimate relations outlined in the book. The Stories We Tell Ourselves: Mentalizing Tales of Dating and Marriage will appeal to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, marriage therapists, and all those interested in both learning more about the dynamics of one-on-one intimate relationships (dating and marriage) from a truly multidimensional perspective and in learning how to conduct mentalization-based couples therapy.

Book Synopsis Thrice Told Tales by : Diane Holmberg
Download or read book Thrice Told Tales written by Diane Holmberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-10-03 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers have studied marriage for decades, but how is the transition to married life actually experienced by the couples involved? From an insider's perspective, Thrice Told Tales examines married couples' own stories of their relationship. A representative sample of 199 African-American and 177 White married couples were asked to tell the story of their relationship. It provides accounts of courtships, weddings, honeymoons, their adjustment in the early years, and hopes for the future. These stories were first collected a few months after their weddings, and again in the third and seventh years of their marriages. What features of their relationship do the couples highlight as central in the early years? How do their stories change over time? What can we learn about couples' marital well-being by analyzing their stories? How do the stories of men and women, and of White and African-American couples differ? These questions were systematically addressed using extensive coding schemes and comprehensive quantitative analyses. Details of the coding system and procedures are included, making this volume a useful reference for any researcher contemplating analysis of narrative data. However, the key points are also explained in simple prose and illustrated with quotes from the couples' own stories, making the book accessible to anyone with an interest in how young couples experience married life today.

Book Synopsis Psychotherapy and Counselling in Practice by : Digby Tantam

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The many different therapeutic models in use today can lead to blind spots in clinical practice. This important and timely book gives a balanced synthesis, based on actual cases, evidence, practice and experience, to describe the process of psychotherapy and identify the fundamental elements that lead to good outcome across all its schools. In the course of developing a consistently reliable, effective, practical psychotherapy, Digby Tantam pinpoints four essential principles: addressing the person's concerns; taking into account their values and personal morality; recognizing the role of emotions; and binding it all into a narrative treatment for symptom relief, resolution of predicaments, release from addiction or sexual problems, and finding happiness through intimacy. This book is essential reading for psychiatrists or clinical psychologists looking for a straightforward framework for short-term psychotherapy and anyone working long-term with patients using a psychotherapy model.

Book Synopsis Innovative Skills to Increase Cohesion and Communication in Couples by : Julie Anne Laser-Maira
Download or read book Innovative Skills to Increase Cohesion and Communication in Couples written by Julie Anne Laser-Maira and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Couples who enter therapy often view the endeavor as a last-ditch effort before seeking legal services, filing for divorce, and parting ways for good. Given this mentality at the outset, couples therapy is not always successful or enjoyable--for either the client or the therapist. It is also an area of practice that is often given short shrift in training programs that predominantly focus on clinical skills in working with children and adolescents, group work, practice in specific settings, and assessment and treatment of mental disorders. Innovative Skills to Increase Cohesion and Communication in Couples discusses evidence-based clinical techniques and skills that support and nurture couples in their relationship. Each chapter begins with a succinct overview of a technique, evidence that supports it, and ideas for assessment to ensure that it is appropriate for the couple. Subsequent sections of each chapter provide clear examples of approaches so that new or seasoned clinicians will have the requisite knowledge for effective implementation, required materials, suitable locations for use, and personal preparation. The text serves as an essential resource to clinicians and social work, counseling, or psychology students and professors.
Book Synopsis How Connections Heal by : Maureen Walker
Download or read book How Connections Heal written by Maureen Walker and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 2004-04-22 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From faculty and associates of the Stone Center's Jean Baker Miller Training Institute, this practice-oriented casebook shows how relational-cultural theory (RCT) translates into therapeutic action. Richly textured chapters-all written especially for this volume-explain key concepts of RCT and demonstrate their application with diverse individuals, couples, families, and groups, as well as in institutional settings. Emphasizing that relationship is the work of therapy, case narratives illuminate both the therapist and client factors that promote or interfere with movement toward connection. Highlighted are the ways in which cultural contexts profoundly influence relationships; how growthful connection inevitably includes conflict; and how experienced therapists work on a moment-by-moment basis to engage with and counteract personal and cultural forces of disconnection.
Book Synopsis Tales of Un-Knowing by : Ernesto Spinelli
Download or read book Tales of Un-Knowing written by Ernesto Spinelli and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1997-09 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents the lives of eight individuals whose experiences illuminate a variety of dilemmas and anxieties that most of us encounter at different points of our lives. According to Spinelli (psychology, Regent's College), therapy at its most fundamental level involves the act of revealing, reassessing, and reconstructing the life stories that clients tell themselves in order to establish or maintain meaning. The existential therapist must not only listen, but must remain "un-knowing," i.e. open to new interpretation of that which is seemingly familiar, thus bringing to light unexamined possibilities.
