Group Psychotherapy for Women with Breast Cancer
Containing information about the group therapy process, this title discusses the various experiences of breast cancer patients and supplies tools that both relatively new and seasoned therapists can rely upon when beginning new groups. While providing a clinical framework for health professionals who wish to offer group psychosocial support to breast cancer patients, the manual trains therapists to help group members adjust to the diagnosis of breast cancer, cope with treatment, and adjust to living with cancer through considering its impact on their lives. Used in concert with its companion book for group participants, The Breast Cancer Notebook: The Healing Power of Reflection, this clinician's guide offers a set of useful tools to help therapists create powerfully healing environments.
Innovations in Global Mental Health
Over the course of the last decade, political and mental entities at large have embraced global mental health: the idea that psychiatric health is vital to improved quality of life. Physicians globally have implemented guidelines recommended by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in 2007, thereby breaking down barriers to care and improving quality of life in areas where these practices have been implemented. Programs for training and education have expanded as a result. Clinicians benefit more from both local resources in some regions as well as in international collaboration and technological advancements. Even amidst all of these positive outcomes, clinicians still face some st...
Issues in Holocaust Education
This original contribution to understanding the nature of Holocaust education in schools tackles an issue that has gained significant interest over the past decade, and is of increasing relevance due to a growing intolerance across Europe and elsewhere. The authors examine a range of issues including the need for Holocaust education, the factors that facilitate or inhibit its evolution, and the indifferent response of the antiracist movement to the attempted annihilation of European Jewry. The empirical content sheds light on the attitudes and practices of teachers and on the prospects of drawing on the Holocaust to further the goal of participatory democracy. The themes and illustrative research are discussed in the context of developments in two locations, the United Kingdom and Canada, and the findings will be germane to an international audience. The volume will prove invaluable to academics and policy makers concerned with social policy, sociology, education and history, as well as to teachers of the Holocaust.

Parental Alienation, DSM-5, and ICD-11
Parental alienation is an important phenomenon that mental health professionals should know about and thoroughly understand, especially those who work with children, adolescents, divorced adults, and adults whose parents divorced when they were children. In this book, the authors define parental alienation as a mental condition in which a child - usually one whose parents are engaged in a high- conflict divorce - allies himself or herself strongly with one parent (the preferred parent) and rejects a relationship with the other parent (the alienated parent) without legitimate justification. This process leads to a tragic outcome when the child and the alienated parent, who previously had a lo...

Strategic Thinking and Decision Making
This book covers a wide range of managerial problems that leaders may encounter in business, often in unexpected or incomplete ways. Varied essays depict complex situations that organisational leaders encountered and had to resolve. The leadership challenge is to develop meta-skills for thinking strategically about them and then make sound business decisions in the face of uncertainty. Leaders usually confront opportunities and challenges in muddled fashions and their main task is to size them up properly and respond with creativity and wisdom. These leadership challenges require integrative thinking and creative problem solving skills of a kind that is nurtured through hard won experience in the trenches. The kaleidoscopic flavor of this collection of essays reflects a holistic and realistic view of leadership in varied situations that call for innovative strategic thinking, reflective problem reframing, and smart decision making alone and in teams.
