A Safe Place for Change, revised 2nd edition
It is increasingly recognised that the strength of the bond between counsellor and client is the best indicator of a good outcome for the client. The theoretical model employed by the counsellor matters less than the relationship the counsellor can build with each individual client. Yet first year counselling students continue to be taught about different models of therapy and specialised approaches supposedly needed by clients with different problems. The result is often confusion and uncertainty, and many ‘trained counsellors’ graduate without a solid grasp of how to form an authentic relationship with any client. Unlike most texts, A Safe Place for Change focuses squarely on the thera...
The Stages of Life
Is personality "in the genes"? Do our infant experiences matter, even though we can’t remember them? Why do patterns repeat within the lives of individuals and families? The Stages of Life provides answers to these and other intriguing questions, and presents a refreshingly readable introduction to human development from birth to death. The book synthesises those theories and research findings that are most helpful in explaining the paradoxes and complexities of human personality and human problems. The book provides a thought-provoking discussion of several important topics, including: how personality evolves in response to both genetic and social influences how individuals differ and wha...
Entranced by Story
We live in a world of stories; yet few of us pause to ask what stories actually are, why we consume them so avidly, and what they do for story makers and their audiences. This book focuses on the experiences that good stories generate: feelings of purposeful involvement, elevation, temporary loss of self, vicarious emotion, and relief of tension. The author examines what drives writers to create stories and why readers fall under their spell; why some children grow up to be writers; and how the capacity for creating and comprehending stories develops from infancy right through into old age. Entranced by Story applies recent research on brain function to literary examples ranging from the Iliad and Wuthering Heights to Harold and the Purple Crayon, providing a groundbreaking exploration of the biological and neurological basis of the literary experience. Blending research, theory, and biographical anecdote, the author shows how it is the unique structure of the human brain, with its layering of sophisticated cognitive capacities upon archaic, emotion-driven functions, which best explains the mystery of story.

A Safe Place for Change
The study of counselling can be a bewildering experience. Learning to be a counsellor involves developing practical skills, not just acquiring knowledge. And trainee counsellors must reflect on their own behaviour - the theory doesnt make sense without self-awareness. Authors from Uni of Western Sydney.

Couple, Family And Group Work: First Steps In Interpersonal Intervention
Couple, group, and family therapies are usually viewed as three completely different disciplines. In fact, they have much in common. Couple, Family and Group Work reveals the similarities and the real differences among these topics. Employing real-life examples of therapy sessions involving more than one patient, it bridges the gap between psychodynamic and group system approaches and shows one-on-one counselors and therapists how to work with various types of groups.
Transference And Projection
This book describes, defines and demonstrates the clinical applications of transference and projection and how they are used by psychotherapists as 'mirrors to the self' - as reflections of a client's internal structure and core ways of relating to other people. There is an emphasis on understanding transference as a normal organizing process that helps individuals make meaning of interpersonal experiences, and on how to respond effectively to it in the day-to-day practice of counselling and psychotherapy.
The Answer Within
A first-hand account of one family's attempt to heal. The Black family entered therapy after years of problems. With their permission the sessions were taped and compiled in this book. The role of the therapist is closely examined, both by experts and the therapist himself. An excellent case study.
A Circle Unbroken
The author shows us how to understand our lives in a broad context. He looks at the patterns in our lives and how they develop, showing how we can understand ourselves much better if we look at ourselves in the context of our families. Tracing our experiences from brith to death, he argues that we can control our lives - but only if we acknowledge the powerful emotional forces which have so much influence on our behaviour.
