Violence Goes to the Internet
Violence Goes to the Internet provides the reader with a thorough understanding of the Internet and the potential dangers lying therein. The book identifies all of the different types of interpersonal violence and crime that may be encountered on the Internet, so that it can then be examined and placed in the context of how that violence manifests itself in the physical world. Readers will then be able to recognize and detect interpersonal violence and crime on the Internet and take the necessary steps to insulate and defend oneself from would-be cyber predators. A new approach to assessing violence and crime on the Internet is introduced, combining the technologies of criminal profiling, th...
Animal Maltreatment Evaluation Basics for Mental Health Practitioners, Students, and Educators
This book provides a brief introduction to the growing field of animal maltreatment evaluation and treatment, with a special emphasis on clinical training from a forensic psychology perspective. Geared toward mental health practitioners, students, and educators, this broad overview focuses on foundational legal concepts, applications in clinical and psycholegal settings, and emerging perspectives on effective evaluation and treatment. The authors provide practical guidance around “real world” scenarios through the use of clinical case vignettes, highlighting the complexities and need for culturally- and psychologically-informed care in these cases. Key topics include forensic animal maltreatment evaluations (or FAMEs); implications for best practices; challenges for providers, trainees, and supervisors; and future directions for the field.

Ruptured Voices: Trauma and Recovery
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2016. Trauma is no longer, and perhaps has never been, an uncommon occurrence – it is now commonplace in human experience. Notoriously difficult to define, when one tries to offer a definition of trauma that works across disciplines and beyond the boundaries of subjects, one enters a new territory. This collection participates in a reconstructive movement in which the boundaries of trauma, trauma theory, and trauma recovery are flung wide. The vastly differing experiences, contexts, and critical reflections of the contributors serve to ensure this monograph offers a fresh voice in the field of Trauma Studies. This collection of essays on trauma seeks to open dialogue and expand discussion. Blurring the boundaries of traditional disciplinary lines, this monograph strives to interrupt and rupture the debate on trauma. It is in the fissures created by such rupture that new and compelling voices can be heard.

What Every Therapist Needs to Know
With the ubiquity of knowledge on too many topics relevant to psychotherapy and life problems, it is difficult for therapists to muddle through and stay up-to-date. Therapists often have to choose between braving a bewildering onslaught of information and wishfully disregarding all that’s out there. What Every Therapist Needs to Know answers for therapists the practical, humble question, “What do I need to know about a topic to practice competently?” This book provides an engaging overview on the topics that working clinicians need to know about, while drawing parallels between the therapist’s professional growth and the patient’s personal growth. Foundational knowledge on learning, life, and psychology segues into the therapy topics of conflict resolution, the working alliance, the therapeutic frame, technique, and feedback. What Every Therapist Needs to Know emphasizes the application of psychological theories to the therapy itself and not just to the patient’s life.
Topography of Trauma: Fissures, Disruptions and Transfigurations
This volume addresses trauma not only from a theoretical, descriptive and therapeutic perspective, but also through the survivor as narrator, meaning maker, and presenter. By conceptualising different outlooks on trauma, exploring transfigurations in writing and art, and engaging trauma through scriptotherapy, dharma art, autoethnography, photovoice and choreography, the interdisciplinary dialogue highlights the need for rethinking and re-examining trauma, as classical treatments geared towards healing do not recognise the potential for transfiguration inherent in the trauma itself. The investigation of the fissures, disruptions and shifts after punctual traumatic events or prolonged exposur...
Practicing Intersubjectively
A 2006 Gradiva Award recipient, Practicing Intersubjectively describes how the intersubjective systems perspective guides the psychotherapeutic process. With judiciously chosen extensive clinical case material, Peter Buirski illustrates how the intersubjective system's sensibility enriches clinical practice via its formulation of the treatment process as considered to be "context sensitive"-meaning that the intersubjective field co-constructed by a patient-therapist pair is viewed as distinctly different from the field created by any other pair. Such a perspective unfolds a different therapy process from the one that occurs in traditional one-person, authority-based treatment approaches, and is uniquely suited to treatment of people from diverse cultural backgrounds and those suffering from the effects of trauma and prejudice.

Competency-based Education for Professional Psychology
Competency-Based Education for Professional Psychology presents the most up-to-date, research-based model for education in professional psychology. The volume is divided into four parts. Part I presents an overview of the training model and discusses the theories and research that form the basis of the model. Part II describes the seven core competencies needed by professional psychologists: relationship, assessment, intervention, research and evaluation, consultation and education, management and supervision, and diversity. Chapters in this section discuss the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that characterize each competency and provide examples of proven curricula and teaching methods. Part III addresses the characteristics and key roles of faculty and administrators, and Part IV describes future challenges in professional psychology education. By providing methods for implementing the model in different educational and training settings, this book will serve as a key resource for everyone involved in the education, training, and regulation of professional psychologists.
