This book offers an interdisciplinary view of the relationship between COVID-19 and psychological disorders among different populations.

During and after the pandemic, there was a sharp increase in mental distress and subsequent diagnoses of mental disorders. This book explores the impact of COVID-19 on psychological disorders, including the impact on children, adolescents, and adults; the impact on key workers and the healthcare sector; and the impact alongside other risk factors and comorbidities. The global editors and contributors provide insights into lessons learned and interventions moving forward.

This is an ideal resource for clinicians, researchers, and students seeking to evaluate mental health assessment and treatment guided by real-life experiences.

This fourth edition of Social Work Practice in Mental Health builds on the underpinning principles of the previous editions whilst reflecting how the context for practice has steadily evolved.

Organised into two parts and 11 chapters, the book focuses on recovery theory, the importance of relationships and an examination of the social context and consequences of illness. It explores the perspectives of consumers and family carers in shaping practice, together with a focus on key skills such as risk assessments, working in a multidisciplinary team, working with trauma, working within a legal framework and spirituality in practice. The book maintains the key theme from previous editions of valuing lived experience, with new content on the NDIS program and its extension to cover people with serious mental health illness, further detailed analysis of trauma, working with individuals and targeted mental health interventions in community settings.

Featuring numerous vignettes and illustrations from practice, this book is both essential reading for social work students and an invaluable resource for practitioners in the fields of social work and mental health.

Competence and Self-Care in Counselling and Psychotherapy explores care and replenishment of the self as an essential requirement for maintaining competence in practice and offers a framework for understanding what being competent means for practitioners, both generally and in work with clients.

The book proposes a culture of care for practitioners that begins with the individual, influences the quality of personal and therapeutic relationships created both inside and outside the professional environment, and extends into the frameworks that support and validate professional practice. It goes further, discussing the role of therapy in caring for society and the contribution it can make as humankind faces extraordinary challenges. As well as exploring relevant concepts, the book is fully updated with practical suggestions for addressing the core training requirements of maintaining professional competence, of practising reflectively, ethically and sustainably and of considering the wider social environment, including issues of culture, identity and social justice.

This book is an ideal choice for counsellors, psychotherapists, supervisors and trainers who wish to maintain a robust standard of practice, and for those employing them.

Sally Sales examines the troubled relationship between psychoanalysis and working-class experience, critiquing its class-blind theories and practices while exploring ways to address these exclusions.

In this book, she traces psychoanalysis from its inception to the present, highlighting how it has marginalized working-class lives by privileging internal psychological states over external realities, universalizing class differences, and reducing classed suffering to individual pathology. It explores key areas such as childhood, mothering, rural living, psychotherapy training, and clinical practice, offering a critical yet constructive analysis of psychoanalytic traditions.

This book is essential for clinicians, psychotherapists, and students of psychoanalysis, offering insights into class dynamics and their impact on therapeutic practices, challenging readers to rethink psychoanalytic theories and practices to better address the lived realities of working-class individuals.

This book explores how trauma affects our experience of time, how that experience may not be linear, and how we may experience "counter-time" - a disruption or arrest of time's flow and a perpetual return to the time of trauma.

Counter-Time explores this phenomenon in clinical practice and in examples from literature and history, including mass trauma such as genocide. Survivors of trauma can be helped to move beyond their experience by drawing on their own cultural resources, helping them to use "counter-time" as a means of release instead of a repeated traumatic symptom.

With rich clinical detail and clear, accessible writing, this book is essential reading for all psychoanalysts and psychotherapists working with trauma.

Spiritual Direction and the Other offers the first interdisciplinary exploration of how ancient traditions of spiritual accompaniment can restore openness to mystery and cultural sensitivity in our psychotherapeutic helping professions.

As therapeutic culture has grown to dominate the landscape of helping professions in recent decades, humanistic caregivers have increasingly struggled to identify methods and traditions that remain open to the Other. Though often neglected by mainstream psychology, spiritual direction not only provides an alternative mode of accompanying others in a world of growing instability, but also draws from an intellectual history that predates the earliest Western medical and psychological theories by centuries. This edited collection is the first to explore the history of spiritual direction as a resource for both accompanying others with cultural sensitivity and resisting the hegemony of reductionism in psychotherapy. Its authors invite readers into sacred, and sometimes unsettling, conversations about how we accompany others through crises of meaning-making, trauma, and pluralistic longing. Whether engaging Desert Fathers and Mothers, Spanish mystics, Afro-Caribbean humanism, Buddhist pedagogy, contemporary psychoanalysis, or Italian literary arts, its contributors offer distinct encounters with what it means to listen for the sacred in the strange, the suffering, and the soul.

Bringing together interdisciplinary contributors from clinical psychology, theology, philosophy, chaplaincy and history, this volume provides not only a rich analysis of the identity of spiritual direction in the 21st century, but models of how spiritual direction can inform caregiving, advocacy and education in countless contexts.

This book explores how and why genocide is a transcultural and transhistorical phenomenon, reflects the unconscious processes that drive human nature, and draws broadly on psychoanalytic theory, as well as on social science and philosophical perspectives.

Using Bass's own research on genocide and his considerable clinical psychoanalytic experience, the book examines what it is within us that leads us to see some people or groups as "other," what we project onto these groups, how we can come to dehumanize them, and how mass murder can become a purportedly ethical imperative. Using real- life examples, it explores the question of what genocide says about us individually and collectively, how apparently "normal" people can take part in genocide.

Tackling one of the most important topics of our time, this is key reading for all psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, and for philosophers, social scientists, and psychologists.

Rooted in Carl Rogers' person-centred approach, this book skilfully combines person-centred theory with social commentary to explore the root of many problems people face - namely, a lack of authenticity.

A Therapist's Reflections on Authenticity is written by an experienced therapist and blends real-world experience with grounded reflection; it offers a human, emotionally-literate guide through the messy, non-linear path to authenticity. Molyneux combines relatable observations, social commentary, and personal experience to accompany the reader through this profound journey. This book does not offer quick fixes or linear steps, but rather, it offers the reader a mirror and gently encourages each person to uncover what authenticity means to them and how to reclaim it from an increasingly performative and disconnected world.

The book begins by using a grounding in person-centred theory of development to show how we begin to deny ourselves and experience from a young age. The book then moves to look at the place of social media, capitalism, and the workplace to show how this process is continued into adulthood, explaining the rise in our mental health struggles and the impacts of the modern world. Finally, it explores the ways that we can increase our self-awareness, which lies at the heart of becoming more authentic. Suggestions are offered to develop both our self-awareness and authenticity, ultimately resulting in a decrease in tension, anxiety, and many of the mental health problems we are increasingly facing in the 21st century.

Grounded in therapeutic theory and personal insight, this book is written for anyone feeling the strain of performance, avoidance, people-pleasing, burnout, anxiety, or persistent difficulties.

If you want to discover the key elements for building a secure attachment with a child, you have come to the right book. Psychologist and psychotherapist Milena Gonzalez presents the importance of learning to educate from a place of love that sustains, as well as limits that protect. In parenting, love and limits go hand in hand; they do not conflict with each other. Both are as necessary for a child's emotional health as food and sleep are for their physical health.

The book takes a comprehensive look at childhood and a compassionate view of those adults who, while not perfect, want to learn to see and treat the children in their lives with respect. All of this is done by deconstructing parenting models and patterns that affect not only the bond between parents and children, but also the mental health of the little ones.

Children construct an idea of themselves and the world around them based on the way they are viewed and treated by those who matter to them. To define themselves as capable or incapable, strong or weak, a failure or the opposite, they will draw on their emotional memory and remain faithful to the words, looks and treatment they received mainly from those who defined them in their early years. It is never too late to learn to do things differently. By reading this book, you will discover how to improve relationships with children by building a secure attachment.

Consciousness is widely regarded as one of the final frontiers of the human intellectual journey. Despite efforts in psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science, many issues remain elusive and intractable. This book identifies ten problems, five "easy" and five "hard," and navigates the challenging terrain of these issues.

The so-called easy problems are by no means straightforward; they are only relatively easy in the sense that current scientific methods can make steady progress on them. Topics covered in the first half of this book include attention, cognition, neural correlates, neural mechanisms, and perceptual perspectives. The so-called hard problems are those that cannot be readily tackled by current standard scientific methods. Those in the second half of the book include subjectivity, objectivity, reasons, persons, and freedom of the will. Each chapter deals with one topic and is coupled with one specific research question. In answering these questions, the author proposes several non-fundamental theories which are not intended to be definitive.

This book provides an intellectual roadmap for novices and experts alike and will stimulate further interdisciplinary research programmes in consciousness studies.

We live in a society that valorises speech and treats silence as a harm to be broken. This assumption runs especially deep in mental health discourse, where silence is both medicalised - as a symptom and as a cause - and targeted by campaigns urging people to open up. Silence in Mood Disorders challenges the dominant understanding of silence in mental illness, arguing that it is not only conceptually impoverished but potentially damaging to the very people it claims to help.

Drawing on first-person accounts of depression and bipolar disorder alongside phenomenology, social epistemology, and silence studies, this book shows that silence in mood disorders is a far more diverse and complex phenomenon than prevailing assumptions allow. To make sense of this diversity, the book develops a set of interconnected conceptual resources for thinking about silence. Central among these is an account of silence as a fragile, embodied, and epistemically significant human capacity, whose disruption may take different forms in depression and mania. These resources are then used to suggest how mental health research, clinical practice, policy, and activism might respond to silence with greater care and discernment.

Silence in Mood Disorders will appeal to scholars and advanced students in philosophy of psychiatry, phenomenology, and social epistemology, and will reward anyone working in mental health research, the medical humanities, or disability studies.

Privacy in the Age of Social Media: Beyond the Like explores the hidden dynamics of social media and the ways our online behavior is tracked, analyzed, and monetized, offering an accessible overview of the interaction between social media engagement and personal data privacy.

The book dives into the heart of social media's greatest paradox: the pursuit of connection versus the protection of personal privacy. It reveals how everyday online interactions drive engagement, targeted advertising, and predictive analytics; build detailed user profiles; shape the content we encounter; and influence how platforms operate.

The book explores ethical considerations, regulations, and practical strategies for protecting personal and organizational data, while identifying emerging trends in social norms and technology that may shape the future of privacy and social media. Through case studies, expert insights, real-world examples, and accessible explanations, readers are equipped to understand the hidden mechanics of social media, engage online with awareness, and safeguard their digital footprint. The authors also illustrate how the simple 'Like' button transformed the digital landscape-what began as a quick tap of approval has become one of the most powerful tools in the online ecosystem.

This compelling book is essential reading for marketers, business professionals, and those working in the fields of social media, cybersecurity, and data privacy, as well as organizations seeking to understand how platforms operate behind the scenes. It will also be of interest to students and researchers in the fields of social media, marketing, cyberpsychology, data privacy, digital media and business management.

In Curved Being, Knowing, and Ethics in Psychoanalysis, Todd Anderson develops a Moebius model of analytic life in which knowing and being fold continuously into one another.

The book explores how ethical orientation arises within the curved structure of analytic perception itself, where epistemology and ontology invert through recursive movement. Drawing on Winnicott, Loewald, Levinas, Derrida, and contemporary relational psychoanalysis, Anderson develops a curved topology of analytic experience in which subject and object emerge as Moebius inflections within a shared field. Clinical vignettes, philosophical reflections, and engagements with music and aesthetic form demonstrate how paradox operates as a generative condition of analytic life rather than a problem to be resolved.

By reframing psychoanalysis through topology and ethical relation, Curved Being, Knowing, and Ethics in Psychoanalysis offers clinicians and theorists a new vocabulary for working with uncertainty and symbolic remainder while remaining grounded in the immediacy of the analytic encounter.

In this fascinating volume, Meg Harris Williams explores Wilfred Bion's autobiographical works, analysing their theoretical importance and continued relevance to the personal experience of others.

Williams shows how these works are less about Bion's life and more about his way of thinking, in which episodes from his own experience are used to illustrate the mind in action. His model of the mind is vividly evoked through his own presentation of himself and his manner of noting and observing internal conflicts. His example constitutes a unique resource in the process of self-analysis, something which is illustrated here by the experiential responses of four contributing psychoanalysts: Vera Montagna, Vivienne Pasieka, Anne Lise Scappaticci and Alison Vaspe.

This book is a fundamentally enriching tool for the practising psychoanalyst, and an invaluable resource for students of psychoanalysis and psychology, as well as those interested in autobiographical literature.

This book highlights the necessary support and collaboration needed to help multilingual learners succeed and how to address opportunity gaps in schools and beyond.

School counselors need to have a working knowledge about the diverse needs of all students to effectively support the academic, career, and social development of those students. Chapters offer recommendations across multiple aspects of school counseling, including integration of multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) concepts and American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Model domains. Practical hands-on activity suggestions, case studies, and vignettes are integrated throughout the text that allow readers to envision these concepts in real-world practice.

Focused on humanizing approaches in school counseling for multilingual learners, this book is an essential read for pre-service school counselors and current practitioners in their work to picture the integration of the concepts discussed into their current or future practice.

The Routledge International Handbook of Psychoanalysis and Gender comprehensively covers psychoanalytic concepts and perspectives touching on major debates that have led to arguments, discussions, and considerations of gender, uncovering the topical groundwork, and predicting future directions.

The book highlights the broad interface and myriad reciprocities between gender and psychoanalysis, putting diverse psychoanalytic perspectives in dialogue with one another. With an emphasis on the role of the unconscious in gender identity formation, it critically examines today's combative discursive context. An international team of contributors explore the global scope of the debate, current clinical practice, the polarized political context. They lay out with precision the theoretical underpinnings of the social and cultural aspects of sex, gender, sexuality, love, desire, sexual identity, race, identity politics, and the controversies surrounding them. Thinking beyond the normative, Oedipal, and phallic landscape, transcending sex and gender binaries, this handbook radically expands the current critical frame of reference. It addresses gender and sexuality, oppression, transgenerational trauma, the embodied effects of the global climate crisis, postcolonial and non-Western perspectives, and queer and trans psychoanalysis-establishing an enduring reference in gender and psychoanalysis.

This essential book will appeal to psychoanalysts, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, counselors, and therapists. It will also be an indispensable reference for students in the humanities and researchers of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, gender, literature, film, philosophy, sociology, queer studies, and women studies, among others.

Holistic Psychiatry offers a timely rethinking of psychiatry by showing why today's symptom-based, reductionist models are no longer enough-and what can replace them.

Drawing together philosophy, research, clinical practice, and service system design, this book presents a coherent, holistic framework that understands phenomena labeled as mental disorders not as internal defects, but as evolving, context-dependent situations shaped by biology, experience, relationships, and society. It provides a rigorous theoretical foundation, a realistic model of dialogical care, and concrete guidance for reorganizing services, research, and professional roles, including how to implement the World Health Organization's guidance on community mental health services. Grounded in human rights, empirical evidence, and real-world practice, this book shows how mental health care can become more humane, effective, and sustainable without abandoning scientific responsibility.

This book is essential reading for clinicians, researchers, policymakers, students of psychiatry, psychology, and mental health, and anyone concerned with the future of mental health care.

Bringing CBT Supervision to Life provides supervisors of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with an invaluable resource for reflecting on their current supervisory style and methods and developing their repertoire of skills in this area.

Research suggests that routine supervision practices over-rely on verbal case discussion, and this can limit opportunities for more active and experiential methods such as role-play, chair work or self-practice of CBT methods that deepen therapist understanding of theory and practice. This book explains why supervision needs to be a more active experience as well as how to do this. It provides readers with specific chapters dedicated to different experiential methods and explains the rationale and benefits of utilising each. Case studies are used throughout to help illustrate the challenges for CBT supervisors, and each chapter contains handouts and worksheets to use with supervisees.

This groundbreaking book explores the understudied phenomenon of victimization recurrence, introducing the clinically robust concept of the recidivist victim and translating it into an innovative diagnostic tool: the Clinical Spectrum of Recidivist Victims, developed from over twenty years of clinical practice.

Drawing from extensive psychotherapeutic experience and doctoral research in forensic psychology, Dr. Rojas presents a relational psychoanalytic framework that maps the range of psychological positions individuals may occupy in relation to repeated harm-from those who remain caught in recurrent victimization without awareness, to those who have moved out of victimization as an organizing position in their lives. Each position within the spectrum is clinically characterized through its subjective, relational, and embodied dimensions. Using embodied language, the book interweaves theoretical foundations with clinical vignettes and personal narratives, offering clear concepts and practical tools for addressing traumatic repetition without reducing it to willpower or individual deficit.

Written with depth, sensitivity, and ethical commitment, this book is intended for clinicians, researchers, and practitioners, as well as for anyone who believes they are-or have been-caught in recurring patterns of victimization and seeks to understand them without judgment.
