The Next Generation of Solution Focused Practice Stretching the World for New Opportunities and Progress The Next Generation of Solution Focused Practice shows how practitioners help create change by ‘stretching the world’ of their clients. The book brings new ideas from enactive cognition which show how skilled attention on the client and their words is important both practically and conceptually. It provides both a summary of the development of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) over time and how the latest developments form a newly coherent form of practice based on developing descriptions. The author has structured the book using simple and easy to understand metaphors to paint a rich creative and visual picture of therapy for the reader which makes it an accessible read. This book will be of interest to a wide range of SF practitioners internationally as well as to those involved in coaching counselling family therapy education social work healthcare and organisational change. | The Next Generation of Solution Focused Practice Stretching the World for New Opportunities and Progress GBP 27.99 1
Making and Unmaking of the San Francisco Bay San Francisco Bay is a shallow estuary surrounded by a large population center. The forces that built it began with plate tectonics and involved the collision of the Pacific and North American plates and the subduction of the Juan de Fuka plate. Changes in the climate resulting from the last ice age yielded lower and then higher sea levels. Human activity influenced the Bay. Gold mining during the California gold rush sent masses of slit into the Bay. Humans have also built several major cities and filled significant parts of the Bay. This book describes the natural history and evolution of the SF Bay Area over the last 50 million years through the present and into the future. Key selling features: Summarizes a complex geological geographical and ecological history Reviews how the San Francisco Bay has changed and will likely change in the future Examines the different roles and various drivers of Bay ecosystem function Includes the role of humans - both first peoples and modern populations - on the Bay Explores San Francisco Bay as an example of general bay ecolgical and environmental issues | Making and Unmaking of the San Francisco Bay GBP 42.99 1
Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR A New Paradigm for Psychotherapy and Peak Performance Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR combines two hugely influential and effective therapies EMDR therapy and sensorimotor psychotherapy to provide a new approach. In doing so the book supports the widely held view of psychotherapists that in trauma the primary store of neurological information is somatic rather than cognitive. Many therapists trained in EMDR find that additional resources are needed for patients who present with symptoms of complex trauma and dissociation. This is because EMDR is primarily a top-down approach based on CBT with the addition of bilateral stimulation (BLS) in visual tactile and auditory modalities. By contrast Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR takes a body-based and bottom-up approach that seeks to resolve trauma by reprocessing information at multiple levels – in the gut-brain the heart-brain and the head-brain as well as in the endocrine immune and nervous systems. Fully revised since The Art of BART (2015) the book looks at the latest advances in neuroscience including research into the effectiveness of psychotherapy and the mysteries of consciousness and the development of mind. It also looks at the role of newly discovered organs the mesentery and the interstitium and provides clear anatomical evidence for the communication of biophotons in energy channels known as the primo vascular system. SF-EMDR is the only therapy that fully integrates Western theories of affective neuroscience with Eastern observations on activation of chakras pranas and energies and in doing so it offers strong potential for enhanced outcomes and optimized performance for patients. | Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR A New Paradigm for Psychotherapy and Peak Performance GBP 35.99 1
