From the Couch to the Circle
Recipient of the 2017 Anne Alonso Award for Excellence in Psychodynamic Group Therapy, conferred by the Group Foundation for Advancing Mental Health, part of the American Group Psychotherapy Association. From the Couch to the Circle: Group-Analytic Psychotherapy in Practice is a handbook of group therapy and a guide to the group-analytic model - the prevailing form of group therapy in Europe. The book draws on both John Schlapobersky’s engagement as a practitioner and the words and experience of people in groups as they face psychotherapy’s key challenges - understanding and change. This book provides a manual of practice for therapists’ use that includes detailed descriptions of groups at work; accounts of therapists’ own experience and the issues they face in themselves and in their groups. The book is devoted to the Group-Analytic model but the other principally psychodynamic models of group therapy - the Tavistock, Interpersonal, Psychodynamic, Modern Analytic and Structural/Systemic models - are brought into a comparative discussion and drawn upon to create an integrated and coherent approach. The book is divided into three sections: Foundations – aimed at practitioners using groups of any kind and working at every level, including those providing supportive psychotherapy and providing groups for psychosis, trauma, the elderly, people at risk, the elderly and children; The Group-Analytic Model – defines the group-analytic model at a basic and advanced level; The Dynamics of Change – aimed at group analysts, psychotherapists and psychologists providing short-term psychotherapy and long-term group analysis The book is illustrated with clinical vignettes including incisive, instructive commentaries to explain the concepts in use. It is intended for those seeking psychotherapy, whether to resolve personal problems or to find new sources of meaning in their lives. It is also intended for policy-makers in mental health, students of different models of psychotherapy and the psychosocial field. The comparative discussion running through the text about methods and models of practice will likely be of interest to the wider mental health and psychotherapy fields. The author draws together the inherited wisdom of group analysis since Foulkes’ time and makes his own lasting contribution. From the Couch to the Circle will be an invaluable, accessible resource for psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, psychologists, family therapists, academics, psychologists, mental health practitioners, academics and teachers in psychotherapy.
How to Rule the World from Your Couch
Who uses intuition? The answer is everyone. For over twenty years, Laura Day has used intuition and taught tools for employing it to make businesses stronger, to help people find love, heal their own bodies, effectively communicate with their children when their children were unwilling to listen, to make better decisions, and to accomplish their dreams-dreams that seemed impossible to achieve at the outset. To overcome challenges such as these, Day developed techniques, presented here, to create dazzling results in less time and with less "work". You can initiate these techniques from your couch-by using your innate ability to utilize that knowledge that you have inside of you to transmit and receive information, and to build a new reality.
Medlocks
At one time, the Barker children were just ordinary kids leading ordinary lives; then an extraordinary occurrence gave them both unique super powers and secret lives. Last year, they spent their first year at the super power school, Medlocks Academy. At this school—located in a different solar system from their home on Earth—they protected their classmates from an evil trophy that was kidnapping students, and they battled to defeat the villainous Glacthia. A summer in Wisconsin has passed, and the kids are back to Medlocks, facing the daily grind of studying and exams. They also experience regular coming-of-age activities like young love and earning their space car licenses. But this year holds more adventure for these extraordinary kids. One of the Barkers receives a message that the device known as the Metronome has been stolen and will be used for evil. They must settle the ongoing battle with Glachtia—and then they discover there's a traitor among their ranks.
