A Brain That Breathes
It''s a lot, we say. And it''s true - sometimes everyday life feels like too much. So what habits can we prioritise for mental clarity and creative verve? How can we continue to do what''s normal and necessary but wind back to care for our basic human needs? In this gentle, wise and actionable guide, best-selling author and respected health journalist Jodi Wilson explores the simple, evidence-based changes we can make to give our brains the breathing space they need.After a lifetime with anxiety, Jodi wanted to better understand herself so she could continue to be creative and productive without slipping into overwhelm and exhaustion. In this fascinating exploration of the brain and body, she discovers that neuroscientists and psychologists, as well as artists and sustainable living experts, all agree on the one habit that can change how we live. It''s something our ancestors had in abundance but we''ve essentially eradicated from our lives: free time, spare time, leisure time - real space to breathe.The modern concept of self-care we''ve been sold doesn''t help - it costs us time and money and keeps us on an unsustainable treadmill. No one is making any money when we choose to rest and do less, yet it''s the proven antidote to modern stress. Instead of looking ahead for answers, we need to consider our evolutionary biology; our brains were designed for life 10,000 years ago, so what would our ancestors have found helpful? A Brain That Breathes is full of accessible and practical suggestions to embrace the power of ''enoughness'', ''soft fascination'' and intentional ''not-doing'' so you can declutter your mind, restore your attention, and live every day with breathing space.

Deliberate Practice in Behavioral Parent Training
Deliberate practice exercises provide trainees and students an opportunity to build competence in essential behavioral parent training 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. Trainees will learn how to collaborate with parents to help them build positive relationships with their children as a foundation for creating behavioral change. They will learn how to teach parenting skills like praise to encourage positive behaviors, planned ignoring, establishing consequences that are respectful and developmentally appropriate, and strategies for parents to manage their own strong emotions. 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.
Child Psychotherapy and the Games Children Play
In this thought-provoking book, Celine Maroudas presents an intriguing psychoanalytic reappraisal of middle childhood. She re-examines both developmental theory and psychodynamic approaches to psychotherapy with this age group, exploring in particular the therapeutic power of games and play therapy in a psychoanalytic setting. This book offers a comprehensive review of classic and contemporary views of development in middle childhood, from a historical, philosophical, and psychoanalytic perspective, calling into question the classical psychoanalytic concept of the latency period. Throughout, Maroudas highlights the emotional turbulence, psychic complexity, and momentous cognitive and psychosocial development of this critical stage of child development. She argues for a shift in psychodynamic thinking on middle childhood from an emphasis on rigidity, structure, and psychosocial dormancy to a focus on flux, change, and psychic fragility. Maroudas goes on to consider why school-aged children intuitively prefer playing games with rules and boundaries, and looks at how these games might be used as a safe, developmentally appropriate analytic technique for expressing and exploring violent and visceral anxieties, impulses and passions. Through moving clinical examples and incisive clinical thinking, she shows how these games can serve as a developmentally appropriate framing structure for expressing and exploring the child’s inner world, alongside the vicissitudes of the transference-countertransference matrix. Offering a recalibration of the technique and language of child analytic treatment to better fit the unique challenges and needs of middle childhood, Child Psychotherapy and the Games Children Play provides psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, clinical psychologists, and educators with vital new insights into this critical stage of child development.

The Psychology of Conspiracy Theories
Who believes in conspiracy theories, and why are some people more susceptible to them than others? What are the consequences of such beliefs? Has a conspiracy theory ever turned out to be true?

How Fathers Help their Children Develop
Fathers influence their children's development in many ways, including financially and emotionally, but the literature revealing how and why is limited. This book brings together theoretical orientations and different disciplinary lenses to the study of how and why fathers matter for children's development. It challenges the commonly held view that fathers are only economic providers and points to the complex interplay between the love fathers have for their children and the money they have (or not) to support them. By integrating developmental science with economics, and drawing on real-life examples from qualitative research, the authors argue that fatherhood is a tale of two stories: love and money.

CBT to Support Adults with ADHD
This step-by-step guide, from expert professionals, helps clinicians develop formulation-driven cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) that is individually tailored to adult ADHD clients.

Talking About Sex in Psychotherapy
Unlocking the Therapeutic Potential of Sexuality Sexuality is intricately woven into every facet of a person's life, often presenting unique challenges and amplifying other psychological issues.

By doing so, clinicians can enhance patient outcomes and cultivate deeper, more meaningful therapeutic relationships.

Why Do I Keep Doing This?
Many of us were told to stuff our feelings down when we were younger. We were taught that our emotional reactions should be controlled so we didn''t embarrass or upset our parents. However, if that control oozes over into our adult relationships, it''s considered a bad thing. Controlling our friends or romantic partners is seen as toxic. Some sides of control are meant to keep us safe, while others harm connections.

Shame
The uses of shame (and shamelessness) in spheres that range from social media and consumerism to polarized politics and mass violenceToday, we are caught in a shame spiral—a vortex of mutual shaming that pervades everything from politics to social media. We are shamed for our looks, our culture, our ethnicity, our sexuality, our poverty, our wrongdoings, our politics. But what is the point of all this shaming and countershaming? Does it work? And if so, for who? n Shame, David Keen explores the function of modern shaming, paying particular attention to how shame is instrumentalized and weaponized. Keen points out that there is usually someone who offers an escape from shame—and that many of those who make this offer have been piling on shame in the first place. Self-interested manipulations of shame, Keen argues, are central to understanding phenomena as wide-ranging as consumerism, violent crime, populist politics, and even war and genocide. Shame is political as well as personal. To break out of our current cycle of shame and shaming, and to understand the harm that shame can do, we must recognize the ways that shame is being made to serve political and economic purposes. Keen also traces the rise of leaders on both sides of the Atlantic who possess a dangerous shamelessness, and he asks how shame and shamelessness can both be damaging. Answering this question means understanding the different types of shame. And it means understanding how shame and shamelessness interact—not least when shame is instrumentalized by those who are selling shamelessness. Keen points to a perverse and inequitable distribution of shame, with the victims of poverty and violence frequently being shamed, while those who benefit tend to exhibit shamelessness and even pride.
