The Therapist as Humanist, Social Activist and Systemic Thinker ... and Other Selected Papers

Cloé Madanes
The Therapist as ...provides an opportunity to see what such conviction looks like in action across a variety of circumstances. It also teaches us
about the power of humor even in the most serious of settings. And just as each piece captures something essential of the author at that particular
time in her life, each piece also tells us something of the time itself as reflected in the voice of the author.

Brief Psychotherapies Principles & Practices
by Michael Hoyt
Brief therapy can be defined succinctly as “Time-sensitive treatment to relieve psychological distress and/or promote growth” or as “The development of a collaborative alliance and an emphasis on patient/client strengths in the service of an efficient attainment of co-created goals.” Nowadays insurance companies, HMOs, counseling centers and consumers all desire—and often require—brief treatment for psychological problems. Specific skills and orientation are needed to meet the challenge of providing high-quality professional services in today's economic and healthcare environment.

The Imprinters: Surviving the Unlived Life of Our Parents
Therapists and laypersons alike have continually urged Eileen Walkenstein to detail the personal odyssey of 1975-76 that led to the creation of The Nucleus concept in group therapy. The Imprinters is Dr. Walkenstein’s intriguing, intensely personal, and honest account of that time and the six women who shared in that journey of honest self-discovery — an insightful journey of both anguish and triumph. Told through colorful narrative, personal notes, journal entries, and revelatory transcripts, the book reads more like a novel than a memoir.

Psychology’s War on Religion
Psychology attempts to deify “science” as a secular substitute for religion, according to the authors of Psychology’s War on Religion edited by Cummings, O’Donohue and Cummings. The current growing conflicts between evidenced- based treatments versus faith- based counseling is just one example of this. Readers will be energized by the re-examination of the intolerance of science toward faith-based values that drive our secular society. Issues of abortion, homosexuality, status of women, gay rights, bioethics of stem-cell research, ethical absolutism versus ethical relativism, and “scientism” (scientific moralism) all come under scrutiny. The authors discuss the hypocrisy of viewing debates over conflicting research data as unbiased intellectual freedom and considering debates over legal, social and political issues derived from religious teachings as expressions of prejudice. This book challenges one’s value system and revitalizes the reader with fresh thinking.
