The Imaginative Body
A collection of writings on psychodynamic theory, psychotherapy and physical illness. Issues addressed include the links between biopsychosocial and psychodynamic approaches to health care; the emotional needs of patients; and clinical interventions with "psychosomatically" ill patients.
Health Psychology
Features chapters that address the context of health care provision, stress, and cardiac disorders. This book presents theory first and application second, stressing the need for an understanding of principles before putting psychology into practice.
Transforming Emotion
Starting from the position that there is no universal story of emotion necessarily acceptable to all cultures and that we cannot assume a common language of emotion that accurately transfers meanings and experiences between people, this volume approaches emotion as the story people weave of physical sensation, display and judgements through multi-layered contexts of their relationships and cultures. Emotion stories are seen as intricately woven with stories of identity, therefore having implications for how people perceive their moral worth. Within a framework informed by communication theories, social constructionism and systemic and narrative therapies, Glenda Fredman offers a repertoire of possibilities to talk about feelings, share understanding and transform emotion. Using her personal stories, transcripts of conversations and case vignettes to "speak" the theory, she shows how paying careful attention to each person' s emotional language rules and theories can avoid coercion, undermining, isolating or creating an impasse between the people involved.
Give Sorrow Words
Give Sorrow Words gives an overview of children’s attitudes toward death and considers the moral and ethical issues raised by treatments for life-threatening illnesses in children. In this new edition, available for the first time in the United States, Dorothy Judd draws on her increasing experiences with dying children and their parents to refine and clarify her work as presented in the earlier edition. This book helps readers to make sense out of the irreconcilable tension of embracing death as a part of life and accepting the death of a child. Through her work with Robert, a young boy dying of acute myeloblastic leukemia, Judd helps readers to see anew the need to reconcile the two tensions and to make the necessary decisions for medical care.

The Practice of Behavioural Medicine
Behavioral medicine has grown rapidly as clinical psychologists have come to recognize the tremendous potential for the psychological treatment of physical illness. This book considers the use of psychological methods in the diagnosis and management of selected problems. The authors describe the methods used in their particular area of expertise in enough detail to enable psychologists to put the procedures to work in clinical practice. This is a unique contribution to the field for psychologists and other health professionals interested in behavioral medicine.
