The Rehab Playbook
The Rehab Playbook helps both individuals struggling with addiction and the community of people—family, friends, therapists, and physicians—who care about them by providing a deeper understanding of the treatment process as well as how to find the right program.We are amid a mental health crisis—addiction, overdoses, depression, suicide attempts, and deaths are all on the rise. The explosion of virtual therapy platforms indicates that more people are reaching out for help. This is fantastic; however, according to the American Association of Addiction Medicine, only one out of every ten people who have addictions reach out for treatment. This begs the question: Why is treatment and recovery illusive for so many? There are several reasons, including limited financial resources, lack of understanding of insurance benefits, and the stigma associated with addiction and cultural implications. Another reason is fear—fear of the unknown, fear of facing one’s inner demons, and fear of the treatment process itself. Although treatment centers have been in existence since the 1930s, the therapeutic process remains shrouded in mystery. There is no playbook to guide and understand the process of treatment. It’s time to pull back the curtain and provide those struggling with addiction the practical tools and steps to guide them through the process of finding care. Within the pages of The Rehab Playbook, readers will find practical advice and tools on how to thrive in treatment and experience the joy of recovery from the grips of addiction.
Sons, Daughters, and Sidewalk Psychotics
Sociologist Neil Gong explains why mental health treatment in Los Angeles rarely succeeds, for the rich, the poor, and everyone in between. Drawing on the nuanced experiences of patients and care providers, Sons, Daughters, and Sidewalk Psychotics introduces readers to two drastically different forms of community psychiatric services: public safety net clinics focused on keeping people housed and out of jail and elite private care trying to push clients toward respectable futures. In downtown Los Angeles, many people in psychiatric crisis only receive help after experiencing homelessness or arrest. Public providers engage in guerrilla social work to secure housing and safety, but these programs are rarely able to deliver true rehabilitation for psychological distress and addiction. Patients are free to refuse treatment or use illegal drugs—so long as they do so away from public view. Across town in West LA or Malibu, wealthy people diagnosed with serious mental illness attend luxurious treatment centers. Programs may offer yoga and organic meals alongside personalized therapeutic treatments, but patients can feel trapped, as their families pay exorbitantly to surveil and “fix” them. Meanwhile, middle-class families—stymied by private insurers, unable to afford elite providers, and yet not poor enough to qualify for social services—struggle to find care at all. Examining this divergent treatment of people facing similar mental struggles, Gong raises provocative questions about urban policy, individual freedom, and what it would take to create a fundamentally different psychiatric system—one that will meet the needs of patients, their loved ones, and society at large.

Group Therapy for Complex Trauma
Group Therapy for Complex Trauma provides a roadmap for professionals trying to address the many issues that arise in group treatment. It’s an excellent training resource for mental health professionals working in institutions that provide higher levels of acute care, including inpatient, partial hospitalization, and/or intensive outpatient programs, as well as those running groups in traditional outpatient settings. Chapters pull the most recent theory and practice into one concise resource, addressing not only how to treat complex trauma but also why doing so matters. They also provide guidance for troubleshooting situations that often arise around when conducting groups with a population that is often highly dysregulated. The second section includes exercises, and handouts that can be reproduced and shared with participants, enabling them to follow along during the group session and to complete exercises and review material in their own time.
Couple Relations
In this book, Mary Morgan provides a comprehensive understanding of couple relations. Taking a psychoanalytic perspective, Morgan explores some of the fundamental tensions in being part of a couple: between being an individual and a couple, relating, non-relating, and the narcissistic problem in tolerating the otherness and alienness of one’s partner. She guides the reader through managing feelings of both separateness and intimacy, issues around sex and sexuality, the tension between love and hate, and the importance of curiosity. She also elucidates key discoveries of unconscious processes in a couple relationship made by couple psychoanalysts, including unconscious choice of partner, the couple projective system, shared unconscious phantasy and beliefs, unconscious alliances, the couple’s own transference relationship and how the real "presence" of an other is seen as an "interference" acting on the preconceptions of the other subject. Through Morgan’s accessible and holistic approach, drawing on decades of clinical experience, this book is an essential resource for all psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapists, counsellors working with couples, and researchers and students in Gender Studies, social sciences, psychology and the humanities.
Understanding Psychological Health
Understanding Psychological Health draws on Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) – which focuses on resolving emotional and behavioural problems and disturbances and enables people to lead happier and more fulfilling lives – to provide an understanding of psychological health. The book looks first at how people can remain psychologically healthy in the face of adversity and then goes on to discuss how these healthy philosophies underpin certain key areas of psychological health. This second edition describes REBT theory with greater accuracy and updates and adapts terminology for contemporary readers. It also includes new chapters detailing healthy responses to common life adversities and outlining aspects of healthy psychological functioning. The only book to discuss psychological health from an REBT perspective, Understanding Psychological Health is intended for helping professionals who have a particular interest in CBT/REBT and students in these areas.
How to be Real
<i>How to be Real </i>tackles one of the most urgent questions: how can we thrive in a world that is so troubling and confusing? We are constantly being told that we must be ‘authentic’ and ‘real’ whilst our sense of reality is being undermined, fragmenting our experiences and dividing people from each other. In the face of such dilemmas Frosh argues that gaining a sense of reality requires us to face the complexity of modern life. We must learn to think more clearly and bravely about it, and to allow ourselves to develop a depth of feeling that may often be uncomfortable or even distressing to live with. <br><br>By working alongside thinkers such as Freud, Winnicott and Klein, Frosh argues that we must look to what connects us and appreciate how authenticity depends on the quality of relationships we form with each other. Consequently, ‘how to be real’ has political as well as psychological and ethical implications. It is out of such disruptive complexity that human depth and relational integrity arise. Frosh pursues this through an exploration of childhood and the development of the self, of why and how we put up defences against reality, and of what hate means. The book describes how we might turn the ghosts that trouble us into ancestors that enrich our lives. It asks us to be brave enough to seek solidarity with others and, finally, to find the humanity in death.
Difference and Multiplicity
Psychological and psychotherapeutic orientations often neglect the notion that the individual is not one unit, but rather a coalition of affects. Providing a multidisciplinary framework for the practice of psychotherapy and philosophy, this book explores and embraces this multiplicity within the human psyche and challenges the reader to explore and celebrate difference within society. Chapters reframe the breadth and scope of psychotherapy as an endeavour at the service of both healing and care, while also fostering bold exploration, emphasizing the risk and adventure of being alive. Through clinical studies, first-person accounts, forays into contemporary philosophy, psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, and the arts, this book presents insights that inspire readers to be in the world with courage, compassion, and kindness, with the sense that we do not have to know who we are before becoming active citizens of the world. Bazzano then extends that exploration to the domain of public life by examining contemporary challenges related to climate change, race, gender, ethnicity, and more. This book is an essential read for therapy practitioners and professionals of related disciplines, who want to expand their knowledge and find different ways to understand and practise their art.
Making Decisions: Analytics, Cognition, and Application
In today's data-driven world, this book offers clear, accessible guidance on the logical foundations of optimal decision making. It introduces essential tools for decision analysis and explores psychological theories that explain how people make decisions in both professional and personal contexts. Using real-world examples, the book covers topics such as decision making under uncertainty, decision trees, strategies of risk management, decisions that are gambles, heuristics, trade-offs, decision making under stress, game theory, decision making in a dispute or conflict, and multi-attribute decision analysis. Readers will identify common decision traps and learn how to avoid them, understand the causes of indecisiveness and find out how to deal with it, gain insights into their own decision-making processes, and build confidence in their ability to make and defend informed decisions across a range of scenarios.

A Psychoanalysis of Act and Action
A Psychoanalysis of Act and Action brings together the study of the philosophy of action and Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalytic theory. Drawing on the works of Freud and Lacan, this book examines desire and the unconscious as key frameworks for understanding action. Londono-Paredes explores key premises in the philosophy of action, while demonstrating how these may fall short in light of Lacan’s ideas. The book proposes an alternative to dominant philosophical interpretations, exploring Lacan’s framework through concepts such as the graph, the act, the transgressive act, acting out, and passage a l’acte. The paradoxes of action, along with forms of action that carry moral and symbolic weight are examined from a psychoanalytic perspective, helping us to understand the interpretive boundaries of action. By intertwining philosophical and psychoanalytic perspectives with clinical illustrations of real crimes, the book offers a fresh approach to action and act. A Psychoanalysis of Act and Action will be essential for psychoanalytically informed readers interested in Lacan. It will also be of interest to academics and scholars of the philosophy of mind and action, cultural studies, criminology, and mental disorders.
Humour
Humour has been discovered in every known human culture and thinkers have discussed it for over two thousand years. Humour can serve many functions; it can be used to relieve stress, to promote goodwill among strangers, to dissipate tension within a fractious group, to display intelligence, and some have even claimed that it improves health and fights sickness. In this Very Short Introduction Noel Carroll examines the leading theories of humour including The Superiority Theory and The Incongruity Theory. He considers the relation of humour to emotion and cognition, and explores the value of humour, specifically in its social functions. He argues that humour, and the comic amusement that follows it, has a crucial role to play in the construction of communities, but he also demonstrates that the social aspect of humour raises questions such as ''When is humour immoral?'' and ''Is laughing at immoral humour itself immoral?''. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
Adolescent Health and Well-Being
This important book explores adolescent health and well-being through an ecological and developmental lens, drawing on international comparative studies and data sources to provide valuable contextual insights. Recognising that children and adolescents are not a homogenous group, this book highlights the importance of age distinctions in shaping health needs, risks, and protective behaviours. Adolescent development, the epidemiology and social determinants of adolescent health, health literacy and health promotion are foundational themes woven throughout the chapters. It explores how gender influences both health behaviors and outcomes, emphasising the need for a nuanced understanding of adolescent well-being. By presenting data comparisons across time and socio-demographic groups, this book sheds light on disparities related to gender, ethnicity (including Black and minority ethnic and Indigenous populations), age, geography, and socioeconomic status, offering valuable insights into the diverse factors that shape adolescent health. This textbook is intended for clinicians, researchers, policymakers, advocates, youth workers, adolescents and their parents and carers.
The Great Psychology Delusion
The Great Psychology Delusion takes an unflinching look at some of the foundational assumptions of psychological science. Exploring long-standing unanswered critiques of psychological research in a way that is detailed but accessible, the book brings together a wealth of material that challenges our understanding of what the science of psychology really is, and how the subject matter of that science should be conceived. Identifying a Great Delusion (that there is a coherent discipline of psychology with sound foundations), the authors explore a number of more specific delusions regarding scientific practice in psychology. These include the problematic assumptions of core statistical analyses, questionable aspects of frequently used experimental designs and continued frictions regarding the much-aspired-to scientist-practitioner model. The delusions produce the uncomfortable state in which we find much of modern psychological science – theoretically challenged, poorly replicated and with questionable real-world value. This unsentimental examination of the state of things nevertheless allows the authors to identify concrete steps that the scientific community can take to re-ground psychological research and move forward to a successful science studying the richest and most complex phenomena we know of: us. This book will interest all people interested in psychological science, from undergraduate students to researchers.
Equity-Driven Leadership in School Counseling
Drawing from the authors’ experience as former school counselors, their research on school counselor leadership and advocacy, and their professional advocacy work, this book provides insights and strategies to develop school counselors’ leadership skills. This book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on self-reflection and critical consciousness for school counselors. It challenges their understanding of leadership and urges them to critically examine whether their personal definition of leadership aligns with the needs of diverse students and the broader educational context. Chapter topics include leadership and liberation, the limits of traditional leadership theories, leading with emotional intelligence, and the courage to confront systems of oppression. The second part calls the reader toward critical action and engagement in social and political activity and advocacy with the intent to disrupt and change perceived inequalities. Specific topics include developing political skills, addressing resistance to change, and developing collaborative relationships. School counselors will find this book filled with the necessary knowledge and skills to effect change in schools, districts, and the public arena for the benefit of P-12 students, particularly those from historically marginalized populations.
Making Meaning of Justice and Peace
This comprehensive guide navigates the intersection of psychology, peacebuilding, and violence engagement among youth. Beginning with an exploration of psychology''s role in social justice, it establishes the groundwork in restorative justice and peace education, areas ripe for psychological exploration. The book introduces the conceptualized peace framework, illuminating how young people interpret societal discourses to shape their identities within the context of peace and harmony. Through empirical examples, the framework''s efficacy is demonstrated, followed by practical methods and future directions for educators, practitioners, and policymakers. Core to its mission is unravelling the psychological mechanisms underlying participation in peace education and restorative justice, probing how past experiences influence engagement and shape social identities. By addressing these questions, the book offers a roadmap grounded in theoretical development, bolstered by empirical case studies and methodological approaches, to guide scholars and students in fostering peaceful, harmonious societies.
The Knowledge of the Psychoanalyst
The Knowledge of the Psychoanalyst documents Raul Moncayo’s practice of analysis over a period of twenty-five years. Exploring different aspects of knowledge in the work of Freud and Lacan, Moncayo considers themes including not-knowing as opposed to non-knowing, truth, and ignorance. The book considers unconscious guilt, S1 signifiers, understandings of history as both linear and circular, and the different levels of mind in Mahayana Buddhism and psychoanalysis. The book also presents cases of obsessional neurosis and hysteria in the Lacanian sense. The book concludes with Moncayo’s own interpretation of Lacan’s theory, in the same way that Lacan had his own interpretation of Freud. The Knowledge of the Psychoanalyst will be of great interest to Lacanian analysts in practice and in training, and academics and scholars of Lacanian theory.
A Critical Introduction to Sport Psychology

A Critical Introduction to Sport Psychology is the definitive textbook for anyone wishing to engage critically with this fascinating idea.
Pluralism in Counselling and Psychotherapy
This book explores the concept of pluralism in therapy, emphasising the value of multiple therapeutic approaches. It introduces ‘pluralistic therapy’, developed by Mick Cooper and John McLeod, as a response to divisions in the therapy field, particularly the dominance of CBT and medicalised models. Within its chapters, the philosophical roots of pluralism are discussed, which, when applied to therapy, encourage drawing from multiple approaches in contrast to a monistic attitude, which promotes using singular approaches ‘purely’: the therapeutic relationship is emphasised as more important to outcomes than specific approaches or techniques. The political meanings of pluralism are also examined, especially in relation to regulation, professional identity, and the impact of political and professional power structures on therapists’ practices. The book also critiques increasingly standardised ‘treatments’, AI therapy, and rigid research methodologies, advocating for a more inclusive, relational, and flexible attitude towards the practice and provision of therapy. Addressing contemporary challenges such as the SCoPEd framework, the rise of AI, and the resurgence of psychedelic therapies, the book ultimately argues that a philosophically and politically informed pluralism is essential for a brighter future for the therapy professions and their diversity of therapies, therapists, and clients. This is an essential read for any therapist or mental health practitioner who is interested in learning more about pluralistic approaches to therapy.
