The Perverse Feminine
The Perverse Feminine resurrects a long-buried psychic figure: The Perverse Feminine Archetype. Grounded in Intuitive Inquiry, this work builds on Jungian theory, feminist psychology, and myth to illuminate the archetypal constructs of forbidden power, deviant desire, and inherited shame shaping the collective psyche of cisgender women. Across careers, relationships, and inner lives, women in this study enliven the perverse through acts of subversion, refusal, creative expression, and sexual exploration. Through their stories, a meditation on the unconscious unfolds, unveiling the archetypal dimension as a portal to healing and integration. Distilled from the data, a four-stage framework maps the psychological journeys of research participants across the evolving inner landscapes, where pain, power, and transformation intertwine. Through evocative narratives that generate tools for archetypal engagement, this study offers individuals, theorists, and clinicians a guide to identity, self-discovery, and psychic wholeness within a rapidly changing cultural landscape.
All the Rage
Anger is all around us, from divisive social media arguments and heightened political divides to road rage and personal spats; from Black Lives Matter and climate justice movements to Trump, incels and white supremacists. When it materialises, it seems to cry out for recognition and response. It affects our bodies and can transition into violence. It can be inherited through the generations; it can manifest in criminal acts. What should we do with it, and can it ever be put to good use? Drawing on case studies of patients, developments in neuropsychology, literature, philosophy and recent political events, acclaimed author and psychoanalyst Josh Cohen identifies the different forms of anger, including the most untrammelled and elemental fury, the more cynical anger that works towards political unrest, and the questioning anger of political protest. Rather than an emotion to ignore, he argues that anger is a primary human feeling. It maps itself onto every aspect of our intimate lives while politically and culturally shaping our world. In a time of intense dissatisfactions and spiralling divisions, and with anger a dominating force, All the Rage offers a new and original understanding of anger, so we may better handle the rage within us.

Narrative Therapy
A third edition of this classic guide to understanding narrative therapy. Narrative therapy is founded on the idea that the mental health issues we bring to therapy are not restricted to or located solely within ourselves. We experience ourselves as deeply relational (not individual), and we are shaped by and imbedded within prevailing historical and socio-economic contexts, dominant cultural understandings, and normative expectations of what constitutes a ‘healthy’ individual. This third edition of Narrative Therapy introduces psychologists, next generation practitioners, and veteran narrative therapists to a broad range of foundational ideas alongside the latest state-of-the-art narrative theoretical ideas and practices. The book provides a wide range of up-close demonstrations, session transcripts, remarkable therapeutic questions, and numerous updated clinical examples to provide a coherent balance between narrative therapy's theoretical complexities, and the nuts-and-bolts of therapeutic practice. Readers receive step-by-step guidance in: Relational responses to trauma, abuse, and the body Working with highly conflicted couple relationships Narrative practice and psychedelic medicines Updated relational practice approaches to grief, loss, and death Collective ethics for suicide prevention Disordered eating New innovations in therapeutic letter writing Gender violence and complex trauma Narrative therapy with trans youth and families Narrative therapy with children and families
Brief Dynamic Therapy
A comprehensively revised edition of this essential guide to brief dynamic therapy, an integrative, culturally-sensitive, time-efficient model of psychotherapy. In this third edition, Hannah Levenson provides the history and theoretical basis of time-limited dynamic psychotherapy (TLDP). In the years since the earlier editions, new research findings, including process-outcome studies, have affirmed the effectiveness of this treatment, while also detailing the process by which alliance ruptures are repaired in TLDP. New clinical research also helps illuminate the "reconsolidation process" in which sudden, dramatic change happens in brief dynamic therapy. TLDP is an integrative approach that uses techniques from attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, affective-experiential learning, and systems orientations to help clients with long-standing, dysfunctional ways of relating to others. The author explores this integrative, culturally-sensitive approach, its theory, history, the therapy process, primary change mechanisms, empirical basis, and future developments.
Statistics as Principled Argument
In Statistics as Principled Argument, first published in 1995, Robert P. Abelson exposes the often-overlooked problems in quantitative data interpretation, and the challenge of presenting the data in terms of a coherent narrative about one's research. This classic edition offers a new introduction which views Abelson's work through a contemporary lens, highlighting how his teachings remain vitally relevant today. The focus of the book is that the purpose of statistics is to organize a useful argument from quantitative evidence, using a form of principled rhetoric. Five criteria, described by the acronym MAGIC (magnitude, articulation, generality, interestingness, and credibility) are proposed as crucial features of a persuasive, principled argument. Statistical methods are discussed, but with minimum use of formulas and heavy data sets. The ideas throughout the book revolve around elementary probability theory, t-tests, and simple issues of research design. Many examples are included to explain the connection of statistics to substantive claims about real phenomena. This remarkably engaging read is filled with fascinating real-life (and real research) examples rather than simply recipes for analysis. Abelson’s insights generate true interest for beginning graduate students and seasoned researchers alike, and will be invaluable to students, scholars, researchers, and practitioners who use statistics within their research.

Buddhist Psychotherapy
A rich resource enabling therapists to bring Buddhist philosophy to modern psychotherapy. Mindfulness-based interventions have become popular mental health treatments in recent years, but these interventions are typically applied by practitioners who lack knowledge of the interventions’ Buddhist origins. The historical, religious, and philosophical foundations of mindfulness offer essential insights for clinicians and researchers alike. This book, a collaboration between two practicing psychologists and an ordained Buddhist nun, examines the early Buddhist philosophical roots of mindfulness and provides a model for modern psychotherapy. In Buddhist psychotherapy, the therapist listens to a client discuss their concerns, considers how the client’s suffering can be conceptualized from a Buddhist worldview, and uses mindfulness and other techniques taught by the Buddha to address the source of their suffering. This framework does not rely on any specific spiritual belief, but instead seeks to alleviate client suffering in a world where everything is ultimately impermanent and impersonal. Amply illustrated with quotes from early Buddhist literature as well as modern clinical examples, this rich volume will help modern psychotherapists deepen their understanding of mindfulness and enrich their practice.
The Measure of Merit
A wide-ranging account of American and French understandings of merit, talent, and intelligence over the past two centuriesHow have modern democracies squared their commitment to equality with their fear that disparities in talent and intelligence might be natural, persistent, and consequential? John Carson tells the fascinating story of how two nations wrestled scientifically with human inequalities and their social and political implications. Surveying a broad array of political tracts, philosophical treatises, scientific works, and journalistic writings, Carson chronicles the gradual embrace of the IQ version of intelligence in the United States, while in France, the birthplace of the modern intelligence test, expert judgment was consistently prized above such quantitative measures. He also reveals the crucial role that determinations of, and contests over, merit have played in both societies—they have helped to organize educational systems, justify racial hierarchies, classify army recruits, and direct individuals onto particular educational and career paths. A contribution to both the history of science and intellectual history, The Measure of Merit illuminates the shadow languages of inequality that have haunted the American and French republics since their inceptions.
Job Stress Revisited
Provides a comprehensive framework for understanding mental health in the workplace Job Stress Revisited: A Thought Provoking Take on Mental Health and Work offers a critical and much-needed re-evaluation of how job stress is understood, addressed, and managed in modern workplaces.

A structured three-part format builds from foundational concepts to actionable solutions, first clearly defining essential concepts—work, health, and their intersections—before delving into critical issues such as burnout, harassment, toxic workplace dynamics, and substance use. In the final section, Durand-Moreau calls for systemic change, advocating for robust policies, workplace inspections, and structural reform rather than temporary fixes.
