Filled with fascinating science and concrete tips and strategies, this book encourages anyone to harness the power of music for personal growth, healing, and joy.
No Such Thing as Normal
''Confronting, thought-provoking and hopeful'' SARAH GRAHAM''A rallying cry for the importance of social and systemic approaches to psychiatric distress'' EMMA BYRNE''Stimulating and timely on psychiatry''s tendency to pathologise the ''abnormal'''' DANIEL TAMMET''A shocking and powerful critique ... this is essential reading'' HELEN KINGThere is no such thing as a normal brain, yet we live in a world that treats disorder as disease.Psychiatry rests on the belief that mental distress can ultimately be explained by biology: brain structures, chemical imbalances and genetics. Treatments from lobotomies to electroconvulsive therapy to prescription drugs have been touted as cures for ''disorder''. And somewhere along the way, the pharmaceutical industry has leapfrogged its patients, making millions designing drugs to treat disorders, then billions dreaming up disorders that require drugs. We are now diagnosed and treated for mental disorders more than ever, despite increasing evidence that environmental factors play a far greater role than biological ones. Laying out the steps for a mental health system that helps rather than harms, Marieke Bigg asks: how can we heal when faced with an industry that banks on keeping us sick?
Deliberate Practice in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy
Deliberate practice exercises provide trainees and students an opportunity to build competence in essential emotionally focused couple therapy (EFCT) skills while developing their own personal therapeutic style. These exercises present role-playing scenarios in which two trainees act as a client and a clinician, switching back and forth under the guidance of a supervisor. The clinician improvises appropriate and authentic responses to client statements organized into three difficulty levels-beginner, intermediate, and advanced-that reflect common client questions and concerns. Each of the first 2 exercises focuses on a single skill, such as offering evocative inquiries and reflections, deepening the client amp rsquo s emotional experience of self and other, and choreographing interactions that promote positive emotional engagement. Two comprehensive exercises follow in which trainees integrate these essential skills into a single session. Step-by-step instructions guide participants through the exercises, identify criteria for mastering each skill, and explain how to monitor and adjust difficulty. Guidelines to help trainers and trainees get the most out of training are also provided.
Mattering As a Core Need in Children and Adolescents
This book summarizes the psychological research on the concept of mattering in children and adolescents, and outcomes associated with the presence or absence of feelings of being valued by others. "This valuable book more than meets the objectives set: to more fully understand how the concept of mattering, of feeling valued, affects one's life and life circumstances. The book aims to be a "catalyst" -- through research and attention to the voices of youth, this book offers resources and a course of action for those who can provide a message of value that is intrinsic to a fulfilled life… It fills in the gaps of even the best research on child development. Everybody who has kids, knows kids, or works with kids, read this book!" --Doody's Review, 4 stars, 96 scoreMattering, the felt experience of being valued and necessary to others, is a unique and complex psychological construct. Differences in children's sense of mattering to their family, friends, and significant others predict consequential outcomes at the individual, relationship, and societal levels. Gordon Flett offers important, evidence-based insights from the psychological literature, drawing clear links between a lack of mattering and measures of children's depression, anxiety, suicide risk, aggression and violence. Conversely, he shows how mattering to others is reflected in measures of resilience, adaptability, motivation, and performance. Crucial links are also explored between social marginalization and mattering, and case material is used throughout the book to illustrate key points. The clinical chapters describe mental health interventions that measure and address issues related to children's sense of mattering in family, school, and community contexts.

Hard Talk
A moving, patient-centered portrait of the social importance of speech, from a medical expert known for his humanizing explorations of health.Language comes to us through culture, environment, and family. Words embed over time, as we use our minds to comprehend them and then our mouths to say, mean, and own them. Without the ability to speak, or when talking becomes difficult, we face a challenge like few others, forced to reconnect with a world which assumes its communicators are eloquent vocally. In Hard Talk, Jonathan Cole takes a necessary look at the privilege of speech so we can better accommodate those for whom it presents problems. Cole creates space for people with a variety of conditions, including cerebral palsy, vocal cord palsy, cleft palate, Parkinson?s, and post stroke dysphasia, to describe in their own words what the experience of difficult speech is like. No struggle is the same. Each develops along its own axis of factors?cognitive, social, and physical?that lead to unique vulnerabilities as well as extraordinary moments of adaptation and resilience. One person finds social chatter becoming more problematic than work speech. Another grows alarmed as changes in speech begin to constrain inner thoughts. Some lose the ability to find or make words though they retain awareness, while others lose self-awareness but maintain fluent speech bereft of meaning. One even loses the ability to speak with family while continuing to interact at work. Hard Talk reacquaints us with the social power of speech while affirming the humane value of listening. Cole also reflects on the neuroscientific advances we?ve made in understanding barriers to speech and how we might reduce them.

Why It's OK to Talk About Trauma
"In her new book Why It''s OK to Talk About Trauma, she forges a new path for all survivors of trauma, as well as breathing much-needed humour into a stigmatised condition." - Lucy Morgan, Glamour, May 2024THIS IS THE BOOK YOUR BRAIN, BODY AND FUTURE SELF NEED TO READ.More than half of us will have experienced some kind of trauma in our lives - many of us multiple times over.

Questioning Conventional Assumptions of Competition Dynamics
Competition permeates various facets of our lives, from the job market to sports arenas, influencing resource allocation, recognition opportunities, and societal dynamics. However, entrenched notions in social sciences, particularly the assumption of a linear correlation between competition and inequality within free-market systems, can limit perspectives. This book challenges such assumptions, delving deeper into the multifaceted nature of competition dynamics. Drawing from extensive literature and empirical data across diverse systems, cultures, and eras, it offers readers a nuanced understanding of competition''s complexities. Contrary to prevailing beliefs, competition''s roots are not solely tied to Western individualism and capitalism. By examining competition through cultural, economic, and political lenses, this book enables readers to recognize that such an assumption represents only a selective portion of competition dynamics. By embracing an interdisciplinary approach, this book encourages readers to reevaluate their perspectives on competition, recognizing its varied sources and consequences beyond conventional paradigms.
From Self-Care to We-Care
Learn to balance and blend self-care and care for others through we-care, a science-backed compassion training that enhances personal and social well-being, promotes healthy boundaries, and offers a path of healing and growth.Helping professionals and empaths commonly find themselves burning out, overextended in their care for others. Yet few people feel there?s too much compassion in our society, and an overly strong focus on self-care can lead to unskillfulness when faced with interpersonal challenges and a lack of responsiveness to systemic social issues. The emerging science and practice of we-care embraces and transcends the principles of self-care in order to emphasize the inherently social nature of care. From this perspective, care is not a zero-sum game that will inevitably lead to self-indulgence for some and burnout for others, but rather an inherently social force that drives mutually beneficial outcomes. Yet we-care is more than a concept?it is a practical framework and set of tools to offer a more expansive view of care. Compassion researcher and teacher Jordan Quaglia guides you through questions such as, ?Do you ever feel the urge to take away other people?s pain and discomfort, no matter the potential personal costs?? and ?Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the pain and suffering of the world or by specific challenging situations?? to discover your care tendencies, explore their strengths and weaknesses, and find a more balanced way to express your innate sense of compassion for yourself, others, and the world. As you''re exposed to cutting-edge scientific research, practical insights, and personal stories, you?ll discover your own unique balance of self-care and care for others across diverse situations. On this meaningful journey, you can positively transform your health, relationships, work, and every facet of your life.
The Hype Cycle
The media and the politicians are always screaming at us
about horrifying, end-of-the-world threats, and also about miraculous new
technologies that will save us and transform our lives. These are the two types of Hype—Fear Hype and
Hope Hype. They work together to
befuddle our minds and keep us on edge.Both forms of Hype, according to Dr. Arnold Schelsky, are overblown, exaggerated to the nth degree, and scientifically
worthless. Climate change does not threaten us with extinction, machines can
never conspire against their human creators—and on the other hand, “global
governance” cannot solve any of our serious problems, while most of the
miraculous expectations for quantum physics are scientific nonsense.AI is a focus of both types of Hype, with provably
false predictions that machines will be able to think and create, provably
false predictions that machines will replace employees causing mass
unemployment, and provably false predictions that machines can conceive
purposes or intentions hostile to humans.Fear Hype
justifies the move toward a permanent state of emergency while Hope Hype
titillates us with wild dreams which can never be realized.The political result is a system Schelsky calls “neo-feudalism.” The
psychological result is a rapid oscillation between extreme, unwarranted Fear
and extreme, unwarranted expectations of salvation and bliss.In the
life of any animal, overactivity is short-lived and restricted to emergency
situations. No living being can sustain overactivity for longer periods without
self-harm. Hype is a form of toxic
overactivity of entire societies. Today
the West is in an accelerated Hype Cycle, hyping ourselves from one peak of
excitement to the next.Values
conducive to the Hype Cycle have been developing in the West since the
1920s. Schelsky favors renewed
emphasis on pre-1920s values.
