The fourth practice book in the Attachment Aware School Series
Attachment theory and research have greatly enhanced our understanding of the role of parent-child relationships in the development of psychopathology. Yet until now, little has been written on how an attachment perspective can be used to actively inform psychotherapeutic practice. In this invaluable work, Karl Heinz Brisch presents an attachment-oriented framework for assessing and treating patients of all ages. Rich, extended case examples form the core of the book. Demonstrated are the ways attachment-oriented interventions can effectively be used to treat a wide range of couples trying unsuccessfully to conceive, women with severe postpartum depression, children and adolescents with behavioral and emotional disturbances, adults with relationship difficulties and work problems, and others. Applications in short- and long-term psychotherapy are discussed, as well as use of the model in such other contexts as prevention in infant mental health, family therapy, and group work. A vital resource for practitioners, this book is also a compelling text for graduate-level psychotherapy courses.
Focusing on 13 teaching dispositions, Dispositions are a Teacher’s Greatest Strength encourages educators to identify and develop their attitudes and self-awareness in order to flourish in the profession. Emphasizing pedagogical knowledge, this text serves as affirmation of a teacher’s commitment to challenging and rewarding work.
Self-harm in children and young people occurs across society, and is worrying for parents, carers and indeed the children themselves. This handbook provides authoritative, clinical guidance for carers and adopters on this difficult and concerning issue. It explores the links between early trauma and self-harm, how self-harming behaviour may manifest, and what it may tell us about children s underlying emotions and neurobiology. Also included is practical guidance on how parents and carers can address self-harm in the moment at which children are carrying out this behaviour.
Experienced clinicians show how educators can easily use a proven psychological model to help pupils who have experienced relational trauma.
