How would you handle these situations? Check your expertise against the approaches presented here! This fascinating collection shows how a practicing therapist handled clients stuck in the therapeutic process. Clinical Epiphanies in Marital and Family Therapy: A Practitioner’s Casebook of Therapeutic Insights, Perceptions, and Breakthroughs presents a cross-section of approaches and orientations as they work in practice. The families and couples discussed here have experienced a wide range of difficulties, and the presenting and commenting therapists run the gamut in age, gender, race, and theoretical orientation. The serendipitous turning points presented here are all true case studies, but Clinical Epiphanies in Marital and Family Therapy offers more than the chance to second-guess a single therapist’s handling of explosive moments. Each case study is also discussed by two other therapists representing divergent points of view. This point-counterpoint structure allows readers to analyze the effectiveness of different therapeutic approaches and to recognize that in practice, heterogeneous orientations may result in similar strategies. Clinical Epiphanies in Marital and Family Therapy demonstrates the factors that contribute to doing successful therapy, including: ensuring that clients feel they are being treated with respect establishing a sound therapeutic relationship making successful treatment bargains moving away from your therapeutic agenda when necessary being persistent in the face of a stubborn refusal to change Clinical Epiphanies in Marital and Family Therapy offers fresh strategies for experienced practitioners, beginning therapists, and educators in the field of mental health.

Tough Guys and True Believers

Tough Guys and True Believers

Some men are especially difficult to manage in the psychotherapy room. They are controlling, exploitive, rigid, aggressive, and prejudiced. In a word, they are Authoritarian. This book is a guide for therapists and counselors who work with these men, offering an understanding of their psychological development and providing empirically supported recommendations to work with them effectively. In the first part, Robertson describes several versions of authoritarian men. Some are Tough Guys (workplace bullies, abusive partners, sexual harassers), and others are True Believers (men who use religion to justify their authoritarian behavior). Robertson draws from a diverse literature in psychology, sociology, men’s studies, and neurobiology to describe the developmental histories and personalities of these men. Part two offers practical and specific strategies to assess and treat these wounded men—developing a masculine friendly alliance, respecting their personal and religious beliefs, and teaching them self-awareness and self-regulation skills. Throughout, Robertson emphasizes a reality that many therapists doubt: Some authoritarian men want to change their behavior, and are capable of doing so. This book presents an empathic and respectful view of a group of men too often written off as unmanageable and unchangeable.

Stress is a part of our everyday life. It is a very cheap commodity that is easily bought by both the rich and the poor. Today it is a problem of the chief executives and the poor market woman. To our early men it was all about the fear of harmful wild animals in the forest; but as civilization increases there is also increase in life demands and issues that could cause stress, hence the need to be equip with the tools to cope with it. The need for the knowledge on stress management can never be over emphasized if we realize that stress could go a long way to adversely affect our individual productivity vis--vis our National productivity and development. Quote: Philosophy is always trying to reach that state of mind where all mistakes can stand corrected and to exercise that unprejudiced, large and perceptive affection for the world, that openness of reason, which can tolerate what is real and true and when no decisive answer is possible, can endure doubt and which always remain ready to communicate and prevent the rigidity of fixed opinion Karl Jaspers This book is a must- read for everyone who has the need to fight stress in any way. The application of the fighting strategies cuts across the poor, the rich, the employers and the employees. Everyone can use the knowledge acquired in this book to empower himself in the fight against stress. The book should therefore find a place in the shelves of all those who want to be progressive in life, as it is known that the road to progress is full of stress.
