Mothering in the Colonies uses a psychoanalytic lens to consider the ubiquitous, but little acknowledged or spoken, relationship between settler colonial children and colonised/indentured/slave-descended women, and the way in which it inaugurated racial identity.

Diana Caine explores this relationship through seven images depicting children and caregivers in different contexts including Brazil, Mexico, India, Australia and South Africa. With reference to Freud and Lacan, Caine considers how this relationship at the heart of coloniality was impelled by socio-political and economic demands that collided with overt and covert interdictions against inter-racial intimacy.

Mothering in the Colonies will be of interest to psychoanalysts and historians of psychoanalysis, and to scholars and students of postcolonial and decolonial studies, race, imperial and colonial history and the history and politics of motherhood. It will also interest a more general readership.

Psychodynamic Foundations of Bioenergetic Analysis: Weaving Insight with Intensity through Body-Psychotherapy examines how the intensity of body-psychotherapeutic processes can be integrated into a coherent therapeutic framework with the help of psychodynamic insights.

Bioenergetic Analysis, developed by Alexander Lowen on the foundation of psychoanalytic drive theory, draws on Wilhelm Reich's groundbreaking discovery of the functional unity of physical and mental defense processes. In this book, humanistic, hermeneutic and structural-psychoanalytic approaches are combined with classical bioenergetic models, thus conveying a modern understanding of Bioenergetic Analysis. Key topics such as self-regulation, self-actualization and character analysis are re-examined from historical, theoretical and practical perspectives and incorporated into innovative approaches for both individual and group body-psychotherapy. Additionally, the challenges of working with specific client groups are described in practical terms, using the examples of children, adolescents and clients with complex post-traumatic stress disorders. Combining traditional Bioenergetic Analysis with cutting-edge psychoanalytic knowledge, the book reflects the current state of the field.

The book is intended for body-psychotherapists and psychodynamically-oriented students or psychotherapists who want to integrate the body more fully into their work.

Covering a twenty-five-year period, this book of unpublished keynote speeches calls for a move away from individualistic approaches to therapy and towards socially-oriented and socially-engaged practices. Retaining the directness of the original speeches, Keith Tudor represents his critical ideas on positive mental health, transactional analysis, person-centred psychology, and psychotherapy and politics, arguing for the psychological and social worlds to be brought together to develop therapies that are as much a part of promoting positive mental health as they are ways of responding to distress and dis-ease. The book takes a critical perspective to challenge both therapists and the psychological professions to make themselves and their therapies more accessible and more relevant to the contemporary world. It provides guidance for how clients can engage actively in therapy, while also providing a framework to critique therapy in an informed way.

This wide-ranging and engaging book will be of interest to psychotherapists, mental health practitioners, researchers and students of psychotherapy.

Motivated by personal experience, A Wider Spectrum of Neurodivergence delves into the rapidly developing world of neurodivergence, examining how it is understood. It critiques the prevailing view of neurodivergence as a disability and the resulting power imbalance, and advocates for a shift toward recognising it as a natural variance, explaining how neurotype can be seen as a demographic, with broader implications for intersectionality.

The author explores the idea that neurodivergent traits are predominantly controlled by our genes and sets out evidence that different neurotypes have been the norm throughout human history and are likely far more prevalent than we have ever considered. Looking at language, historical context and the domination of the medical model in diagnosing neurodevelopmental "disorders", the author seeks to present alternative ways of thinking, incorporating the Neurodiversity Paradigm, the Social Model of Disability, and her own model of neurovariance which demonstrates that neurodiversity does not only exist beyond the point at which a formal diagnosis is deemed appropriate.

It is valuable reading for mental health professionals whose clients' symptoms may be better understood through the lens of neurodivergence, as well as anyone interested in the broader scope of neurodiversity.

Interviewing Neuropsychological Rehabilitation: (Volume I: Beginnings) offers a reflective and dialogical exploration of the origins of neuropsychological rehabilitation through the voices of those who helped shape its early development. Compiled and edited by Dr. Christian Salas, this volume brings together a series of in-depth interviews that trace how the field emerged-not as a predefined discipline, but as a set of practices, ideas, and encounters that gradually took form across time and contexts.

Focusing on the formative years of neuropsychological rehabilitation, Beginnings examines the intellectual, clinical, and personal trajectories that contributed to its foundation. Through conversations with leading figures such as George Prigatano, Barbara Wilson, Anne-Lise Christensen, Lance Trexler, Masahiro Nochi, Mark Ylvisaker, Pamela Klonoff, Jill Winegardner, Tedd Judd, Jennie Ponsford and Elena Marquez, the volume highlights how the field was shaped by interdisciplinary influences, institutional developments, and the lived experiences of clinicians and patients alike. Rather than presenting a linear history, the book reveals a field constructed through dialogue, experimentation, and the ongoing negotiation between theory and practice.

Set against the backdrop of Chile-whose name means "the ends of the earth"-the book adopts a decolonial and cross-cultural perspective, situating these stories within a broader global context and foregrounding the relational and situated nature of knowledge production. In doing so, it portrays neuropsychological rehabilitation not as a finished body of knowledge, but as a discipline whose beginnings remain present in its current practices.

This volume will be of interest to clinicians, researchers, and students in clinical neuropsychology, rehabilitation, psychotherapy, and allied health fields seeking to understand how the discipline came into being and how its foundational ideas continue to shape contemporary practice.

Psychodynamic Foundations of Bioenergetic Analysis, volumes one and two, explores bioenergetic analysis, developed by Alexander Lowen on the foundation of psychoanalytic drive theory, draws on Wilhelm Reich's groundbreaking discovery of the functional unity of physical and mental defense processes.

Volume one, Weaving Insight with Intensity through Body-Psychotherapy examines how the intensity of body-psychotherapeutic processes can be integrated into a coherent therapeutic framework with the help of psychodynamic insights. Key topics such as self-regulation, self-actualization and character analysis are re-examined from historical, theoretical and practical perspectives and incorporated into innovative approaches for both individual and group body-psychotherapy. Additionally, the challenges of working with specific client groups are described in practical terms, using the examples of children, adolescents and clients with complex post-traumatic stress disorders. Volume two, Responses from Body-Psychotherapy to the Uncertainty of Our Times, explores how Alexander Lowen's concept of a grounded self can be cultivated despite the increasing uncertainty caused by rapid political and social changes. The book offers answers to postmodern questions arising from the spread of Bioenergetic Analysis in non-Western societies, changes in the disease spectrum, new insights into the development of gender identities and the revolutionary spread of artificial intelligence. The authors show how the postmodern development toward individual self-construction, which has emerged through the increasing virtualization of life or new sociocultural constructions of femininity, can engage in a productive dialogue with the idea of a grounded self.

This two-volume set is intended for body-psychotherapists and psychodynamically-oriented students or psychotherapists who want to integrate the body more fully into their work. Readers interested in holistic healing approaches will find a comprehensive overview of the diverse European perspectives on Bioenergetic Analysis, supported by case studies, figures, study cards and multiple-choice questions.

Drawing on decades of cross-cultural research, Heidi Keller reveals how attachment theory is rooted in WEIRD societies representing less than 10% of humanity, despite claims to universality. Through rigorous analysis, she systematically deconstructs core assumptions, demonstrating how a culturally specific model has been inappropriately universalised and exposing fundamental scientific flaws.

Keller presents compelling ethnographic evidence from diverse cultural communities, revealing multiple valid pathways to forming secure relationships that attachment theory fails to recognise. She shows how feeding practices, cultural learning, and community-based caregiving create strong bonds that don't fit the Western dyadic mother-child model. Beyond theoretical critique, she examines the real-world consequences of attachment theory's dominance in parenting interventions across the Global South, family court custody decisions, and early childhood education programs, demonstrating how these applications, presented as evidence-based, often pathologise non-WEIRD parenting practices and impose inappropriate standards on diverse families.

This groundbreaking work calls for nothing less than the decolonisation of developmental science, advocating for culturally conscious research that respects local knowledge, embraces methodological diversity, and abandons the search for universal developmental pathways. Keller provides concrete steps toward achieving truly inclusive and ethical research practices that honour the full spectrum of human development. Essential reading for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in child development, education, social work, and international development-a transformative analysis that will fundamentally reshape your understanding of child development and culture.

Interviewing Neuropsychological Rehabilitation: Volume II Becomings, in the Stories from the Ends of the Earth series, offers a reflective and dialogical exploration of neuropsychological rehabilitation through the voices of those who have shaped-and continue to shape-the field. Compiled and edited by Dr. Christian Salas, this volume brings together a series of in-depth interviews that illuminate how the discipline has evolved not as a finished body of knowledge, but as an ongoing process of construction, adaptation, and expansion.

While the first volume traced the origins and foundational developments of neuropsychological rehabilitation, Becomings focuses on what the field is becoming. It captures a moment in which the discipline is widening its scope-moving beyond its traditional cognitive and functional focus to engage more explicitly with dimensions that were historically present but often underemphasized. Through conversations with leading figures such as Jon Evans, Rudi Coetzer, Urvashi Shah, Ann Watts, Sofia Braga, Barbara Wilson, Ann Norup, Giles Yeates, Fergus Gracey and Skye McDonald, this volume highlights the growing relevance of themes such as identity reconstruction, emotional life, interpersonal relationships, and the role of family and community in recovery.

Set against the backdrop of Chile-whose name means "the ends of the earth"-the book maintains a decolonial and cross-cultural perspective, foregrounding voices and practices that extend beyond traditional centers of knowledge production. In doing so, it portrays neuropsychological rehabilitation as a dynamic, evolving, and deeply human practice.

This volume will be of interest to clinicians, researchers, and students in clinical neuropsychology, rehabilitation, psychotherapy, and allied health fields seeking to understand not only where the discipline comes from, but where it is going.

Every case shows how constructional, non-coercive interventions succeed where eliminative models fail. These aren't abstract theories-they're replicable roadmaps for transforming behavior across clinical, educational, organizational, and animal settings.

Whether you work in mental health, education, behavior analysis, or animal training, Case Studies and Applications in Nonlinear Contingency Analysis shows how constructional, freedom-expanding interventions can transform lives. If you want to see how nonlinear contingency analysis works in practice-and how to use it yourself-this is the book you need by your side.

In addition to a historical overview of interdependence, chapters analyse the subject's primary components. Authors demonstrate how this phenomenon is distinct from other relationship processes, as well as the involvement of factors including biological sex, sexual orientation, and ethnicity.
