Download or read book Enchantment and Intervention in Family Therapy written by Stephen R. Lankton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-09 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1986. Motivation is different for different cultures, apparent even in the recent contrast between our experience of the relatively stable residential neighborhood and the shifting sands of the beach community. The bait is different for each different fisher. Each group has a goal determined by collective needs. The needs of individual members of each group are defined by an interplay of biology, personal history, culture, family, values, peers, expected sanctions, chronological age, psychological age, and environmental circumstances. This book is a composite assemblage of teachings from five different workshops in the U.S. Primarily, it has been created from what the author’s feel are the most representative of several family therapy workshops they have conducted, some individually and some together. These took place in Boston, Massachusetts; Austin, Texas; Newport, Rhode Island; Phoenix, Arizona; and Pensacola Beach, Florida.

Download or read book Working with Sexual Issues in Psychotherapy written by Desa Markovic and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-08-25 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whilst many psychotherapists work skilfully and creatively with the subject of sex, the lack of professional support systems – such as training and supervision – mean that the topic is often still treated as taboo in the psychotherapy room. This secretive treatment may increase clients' feelings of shame and embarrassment, thus mirroring the confusing views on sexuality in society and leading to the onset and development of sexual dysfunctions. Bringing the medical perspective of sexology together with systemic psychotherapy informed by social constructionism, this timely book seeks to fill the gap in psychotherapy literature, research and training by providing a theoretical framework, as well as practical guidance, for effective therapeutic interventions in working with sex and sexual relationships in clinical practice. Exploring topics such as sexual prejudice, the significance of sexual diversity and the assessment and treatment of sexual dysfunctions, enriched with a wealth of engaging case studies, Working with Sexual Issues in Psychotherapy is a fascinating and important read both for students new to this complex topic, and for practitioners looking for a comprehensive source of reference.
