Supervising the Counsellor and Psychotherapist

A cyclical model

By: Steve Page,Val Wosket

Supervising the Counsellor and Psychotherapist considers how to meet the supervision needs of trainee and experienced counsellors, psychotherapists and other helping professionals using an integrative approach that will appeal to practitioners from a broad range of backgrounds and theoretical persuasions. The book charts the development of the supervisor as he or she moves through making the transition from therapist to supervising the work of others and includes consideration of the advanced competencies required to supervise experienced practitioners. This third edition brings a number of contemporary perspectives to a well-known and widely respected core text for the training and development of supervisors. The Cyclical Model at the heart of the book has established its relevance in the UK as one of the best known frameworks for teaching and learning the steps and stages of supervision. All chapters in this new edition have been extensively revised and updated, and key elements include: - Two brand new chapters on deepening supervision practice and moving beyond supervising counsellors and psychotherapists - Updates on recent developments in supervision, including research outcomes, the use of technology and supervising short-term work - Creativity, play and the use of metaphor and imagery in supervision - Developing the use of self through relational supervision. Supervising the Counsellor and Psychotherapist is a key text for trainee and experienced supervisors of counsellors and psychotherapists, those who train supervisors, and supervisees wishing to better understand the supervisory process.

Forensics

What Bugs, Burns, Prints, DNA, and More Tell Us About Crime

By: Val McDermid

Bestselling author of Broken Ground “offers fascinating glimpses” into the real world of criminal forensics from its beginnings to the modern day (The Boston Globe). The dead can tell us all about themselves: where they came from, how they lived, how they died, and, of course, who killed them. Using the messages left by a corpse, a crime scene, or the faintest of human traces, forensic scientists unlock the mysteries of the past and serve justice. In Forensics, international bestselling crime author Val McDermid guides readers through this field, drawing on interviews with top-level professionals, ground-breaking research, and her own experiences on the scene. Along the way, McDermid discovers how maggots collected from a corpse can help determine one’s time of death; how a DNA trace a millionth the size of a grain of salt can be used to convict a killer; and how a team of young Argentine scientists led by a maverick American anthropologist were able to uncover the victims of a genocide. Prepare to travel to war zones, fire scenes, and autopsy suites as McDermid comes into contact with both extraordinary bravery and wickedness, tracing the history of forensics from its earliest beginnings to the cutting-edge science of the modern day.

Oxygen/Nitrogen Radicals: Cell Injury and Disease

By: Val Vallyathan,Vince Castranova,Xianglin Shi

A veritable mountain of literature has been published showing the causal relationship of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species in human disease conditions, and there has been an explosion in the understanding of oxidative stress, the protective role of antioxidants and molecular events involved in the regulation of transcription, editing, and translation of key events leading to disease processes. Strategies need to be developed for prevention of diseases by allowing scientists and clinicians to obtain information on new and emerging advances. The molecular mechanisms involved in several diseases including Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes, arthritis, and Parkinson's disease, as well as disorders of the eye, skin, cardiac, and pulmonary systems are discussed in this volume, along with scientific evidence supporting the value of dietary supplementation with antioxidants in the prevention of cellular damage leading to chronic disease. Special in vivo techniques are also discussed at length, along with the role of molecular studies in human risk assessment.

What's Changing: Population Size Or Land-use Patterns?

By: Val Attenbrow

What's Changing: Population Size Or Land-use Patterns?

The Archaeology of Upper Mangrove Creek, Sydney Basin

By: Val Attenbrow

The Upper Mangrove Creek catchment was an ideal locality in which to undertake field investigation into Aboriginal use of the coastal hinterland. The area, 101 square kilometres in size, is rich in sites that provided significant archaeological evidence of Aboriginal use of the coastal hinterland. The catchment became the focus of major archaeological salvage work in the late 1970s, prior to the construction of the Mangrove Creek Dam. Further research, undertaken by Val Attenbrow, on the total catchment expanded upon the results of earlier work. This monograph describes the later research project and summarises the salvage program results. This evidence is used by the author to explore current research issues relating to the interpretation of the mid- to late-Holocene archaeological record in Australia, particularly quantitative changes relating to population numbers and aspects of human behaviour, such as risk management, subsistence, mobility and land-use patterns.

Radical Origins

Early Mormon Converts and Their Colonial Ancestors

Radical Origins

Early Mormon Converts and Their Colonial Ancestors

By: Val Dean Rust

Val D. Rust's Radical Origins investigates whether the unconventional religious beliefs of their colonial ancestors predisposed early Mormon converts to embrace the (radical( message of Joseph Smith Jr. and his new church. Utilizing a unique set of meticulously compiled genealogical data, Rust uncovers the ancestors of early church members throughout what we understand as the radical segment of the Protestant Reformation. Coming from backgrounds in the Antinomians, Seekers, Anabaptists, Quakers, and the Family of Love, many colonial ancestors of the church(s early members had been ostracized from their communities. Expelled from the Massachusetts Bay Colony, some were whipped, mutilated, or even hanged for their beliefs. Rust shows how family traditions can be passed down through the generations, and can ultimately shape the outlook of future generations. This, he argues, extends the historical role of Mormons by giving their early story significant implications for understanding the larger context of American colonial history. Featuring a provocative thesis and stunning original research, Radical Origins is a remarkable contribution to our understanding of religion in the development of American culture and the field of Mormon history.

The Electoral College and the Black and Brown Vote

The Electoral College and the Black and Brown Vote

Versus the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, Popular Plurality, and One Person, One Vote

By: Val Atkinson

This is a searing account of the contradictions and historical complexities of the Electoral College. It is particularly focused on the negative impact the Electoral College has had on Black and Brown voters. I was an Adjunct Political Science Professor in the Political Science Department at North Carolina Central University in Durham, North Carolina from 2006 through 2013. My primary area of focus was “Media Politics” but my favorite course was American Government. Teaching this course gave me an opportunity to see that my students were grounded in the fundamentals and operations of our government — “The Why’s and How’s of American Government”. There was no shortage of primary text books for American Government but I found myself continually searching for a supplemental text to augment my particular approach to the subject. Having graduated from HBCUs and PWIs in both undergraduate and graduate studies I wanted to ensure that our students at North Carolina Central University were keenly aware of their places in American government, and how certain portions of American government were designed around and directed particularly towards their ancestors. Obviously I never found the exact supplemental text I was looking for, so I decided to write my own. So here it is — “The Electoral College and the Black and Brown Vote”. In preparing for this book I discovered that most Americans know very little about the system they use to select the leaders that will govern them, and that those that continue to harbor slaveocracy tendencies are working hard to keep the Electoral College as it is. In all things political we should start with the authorization — “where is the authority found for what we’re doing or professing to do?”. Some call this the “enabling legislation”. In this case the enabling legislation for the Electoral College is the 12th Amendment to the Constitution. In this book I examine the 12th Amendment from the prospects of the presidential election, and the responsibilities of the various states, electors and voters. I talk about the Amendment’s effect on large states and small states, and a large portion of the book is devoted to the Amendment’s impact on Black and Brown voters. This is a book for all people; students, teachers, regular citizens, and voters and non-voters. We must fully understand our electoral system if we want to ensure that it is as fair and efficient as it could possible be.
