An unfinished work is an unfinished soul. As we travel the paths of the life that are set before us, we all like to think that we are living a normal life. Do we ever stop to ask ourselves, however, what is normal? Sometimes we find that we have reached adulthood, and yet we still struggle with unresolved issues from the past. It is those issues that truly keep us from living. The story of Normal follows a father as he struggles to come to grips with his tumultuous past. Although he charts a path that will make him face his past, it is not until he stands at the foot of his struggles that he makes a decision. If there is something in your past that lies unresolved, perhaps a visit to Normal will be exactly what you need.
Depression is a common problem for individuals in their senior years. This therapist guide outlines a three-phase programme based on the principles of cognitive-behavioural therapy.
An extensively updated new edition of the highly acclaimed guide to treatment of bipolar disorder, incorporating the latest research on psychosocial treatments and clear medication management guidelines. This extensively updated new edition of the acclaimed book integrates empirical research from the last 10 years to provide clear and up-to-date guidance on the assessment and effective treatment of bipolar disorder. The expert authors, a team of psychotherapists and medical practitioners, begin by describing the main features of bipolar disorder based on DSM-5 and ICD-10 criteria. Current theories and models are described, along with decision trees for evaluating the best treatment options. They then outline a systematic, integrated, and empirically supported treatment approach involving structured, directive therapy that is collaborative and client-centered. This edition includes completely updated medication management guidelines in the form of very concise and user friendly tables. Special considerations, including managing suicide risk, substance misuse, and medication nonadherence, are also addressed. This compact, stand-alone resource aims to help psychotherapists, psychologists, medical and psychiatric practitioners, and nurses deliver the highest standards of care for people with bipolar disorder.
The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) program presented in this clinician guide is intended to support your service delivery to clients in the second half of life who are experiencing clinical or subclinical depression, with or without accompanying anxiety. The program reflects continuing international scientific and clinical advances in applying CBT to specific age-related problems. Over the past four decades, the two senior authors of this approach (DGT, LT) have developed empirically supported clinical interventions for older adults that embody the spirit and change strategies of traditional CBT. Many of these efforts have focused on later-life depression, establishing research support for the use of this treatment approach (Coon & Thompson, 2003; Gallagher & Thompson, 1982; Gallagher-Thompson et al., 1990; Thompson & Gallagher, 1984; Thompson, 1996; Thompson et al., 1987; Thompson et al., 2001). Our treatment approach is consistent with critical reviews (Braun et al., 2016), meta-analytic studies (Cuipers et al., 2014; Cuipers et al., 2016; Cuipers et al., 2018; Wilkinson, & Izmeth, 2016), and the depression treatment guidelines of the American Psychological Association (APA, 2019); all of these support and recommend the use of CBT with depressed older adults"--

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is now well established as an effective treatment for a range of mental health problems, but for clinicians working with older clients, there are particular issues that need to be addressed. Topics covered include the need to build a therapeutic relationship, dealing with stereotypical thinking about ageing, setting realistic expectations in the face of deteriorating medical conditions, maintaining hope when faced with difficult life events such as the loss of a spouse, disability, etc., and dealing with the therapist's own fears about ageing. Illustrated throughout with case studies, practical solutions and with a troubleshooting section, this is essential reading for all clinical psychologists, psychiatrists and related health professionals who work with older people. * Authors are world authorities on depression and psychotherapy with older people * First book to be published on CBT with older people * Case studies and examples used throughout to illustrate the method and the problems of older people
Christian Ethics and U.S. Foreign Policy examines the evolution of American foreign policy toward the Soviet Union during the period 1973-1980. In particular, Larry Pullen investigates how and why human rights issues became an increasingly significant part of the U.S.-Soviet relationship, focusing on the development of the Helsinki Accords and the process of monitoring compliance with its human rights provisions. Pullen presents an informed critique of both (realist) Henry Kissinger's and (idealist) Jimmy Carter's human right's policies in the tradition of Christian realism associated with Reinhold Neibuhr. The study is sure to provoke debate among students and scholars of foreign policy and ethics.
