Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades Counseling and Therapy Skills has helped readers navigate from theory to practice on the path to becoming great therapists. The goal of this engagingly written text is to help beginning therapists learn skills without losing sight of the art of therapy. Great therapists are gifted at connecting with clients, achieving an almost artistic attunement. While there are many ways to do successful therapy, common factors include evocative empathy in a strong relationship focused on mutual, collaborative cognitive/experiential processing. Active, arousing, and evocative empathy encourages clients to explore their feelings. Learning to be ahead of clients allows therapists to bring the clients’ deep experiences to life, empowering clients to be problem solvers and giving therapists helpful, active roles. The first section of the book describes fundamental skills. “Observing Therapy,” a five-hour video recording of actual therapy sessions, accompanies the book. This learning tool demonstrates evocative empathy and is a guide for responding to clients. The final chapter in this section addresses experiential understanding, emergent modes of expressing empathy, mindfulness, presence, and being in the zone as a therapist. The second section offers practical advice about beginning therapy sessions, settings for therapy, ethical issues, different formats for therapy, and material on being a culturally competent therapist. The third section summarizes the latest research evidence on what makes therapy effective. It also explores the nature of emotional problems to give therapists a foundation for understanding why evocative empathy works. Counseling and Therapy Skills emphasizes material that the reader can use and translate into behavior. Woven throughout the text are the messages that therapy demands active involvement, empathy must be evocative, and the therapist must work at the leading edge of the client’s experiencing. Significantly updated, the depth and insights of the fifth edition benefit both beginning and experienced counselors.

Download or read book A Reader s Guide to the Narrative and Lyric Poetry of Thomas Lovell Beddoes written by Rodney Edgecombe and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beddoes poses a peculiar problem for critics and scholars who wish to redress the marginal position that he occupies in the Romantic canon – a problem seemingly unique to him, and created in part by his misconception of his own strengths as a writer. An extremely good poet who, had things turned out differently, might have functioned as a missing link between Keats and Tennyson, he fatally divided his attention between verse and medicine, a discipline that by his own admission (made in the poem composed for Zoë King) served to wither his creative gift. This fission of energy was bad enough, but more damaging still was his misconception of metier, for whatever mental resources remained to Beddoes after gruelling days in the classroom he invested in writing an unstageable drama instead of in his primary gift for lyric verse. Whereas the Beddoes revival that has been gathering momentum in recent years has centred on Death's Jest-Book, the play onto which the poet directed – some might say ‘misdirected’ – so much of his creative energy, this study focuses wholly on his lyric and narrative verse, much of which has received short critical shrift. It follows the sequence of poems set out in the Donner edition, and focuses on their verbal richness and inventiveness as they unspool upon the page.

Book excerpt: "This is a personal, urgent, and universal book." —Gloria Steinem Situated more than one hundred miles off Italy’s southern coast, the rocky island of Lampedusa has hit world headlines in recent years as the first port of call for hundreds of thousands of African and Middle Eastern refugees fleeing civil war and terrorism and hoping to make a new life in Europe. Dr. Pietro Bartolo, who runs the lone medical clinic on the island, has been caring for many of them—both the living and the dead—for a quarter century. Tears of Salt is Dr. Bartolo’s moving account of his life and work set against one of the signal crises of our time. With quiet dignity and an unshakable moral center, he tells unforgettable tales of pain and hope, stories of those who didn’t make it and those who did.

Download or read book The Poignant Tale of Megalha written by Duke R Silva and published by Duke R Silva. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story of a female life shattered in dreams and truncated in its animation by the cruel effects of a childhood molestation, whose trail extends rearward to remote peaceable shores of an island itself detached from the modern world, later leaping onward to the latter modern land for the greater aggravation of its psychosomatic behavioral symptoms. It is a piercingly familiar story shared by many a woman, but whose rightful tone and tenor had long been stifled by the same forces that caused its cursed birth upon their chaste innocent lives. This is a female tale that must be heard and shared, so that others suffering from like cause and subsequent symptoms might seek to find soever good a relief, and seek a settled upon closure that would allow for a degree of personal peace and a charitable counsel to a sister whose fortune also had then been turned to fires, then to ashes leading to destructive sufferings in the shadows of all ingrate cynical societies.

Download or read book The Topography of Tears written by and published by Bellevue Literary Press. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “When you first view Rose-Lynn Fisher’s photographs, you might think you’re looking down at the world from an airplane, at dunes, skyscrapers or shorelines. In fact, you’re looking at her tears. . . . [There’s] poetry in the idea that our emotional terrain bears visual resemblance to the physical world; that our tears can look like the vistas we see out an airplane window. Fisher’s images are the only remaining trace of these places, which exist during a moment of intense feeling—and then vanish.” —NPR “[A] delicate, intimate book. . . . In The Topography of Tears photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher shows us a place where language strains to express grief, longing, pride, frustration, joy, the confrontation with something beautiful, the confrontation with an onion.” —Boston Globe Does a tear shed while chopping onions look different from a tear of happiness? In this powerful collection of images, an award-winning photographer trains her optical microscope and camera on her own tears and those of men, women, and children, released in moments of grief, pain, gratitude, and joy, and captured upon glass slides. These duotone photographs reveal the beauty of recurring patterns in nature and present evocative, crystalline imagery for contemplation. Underscored by poetic captions, they translate the mysterious act of crying into an atlas mapping the structure and magnificence of our interior lives. Rose-Lynn Fisher is an artist and author of the International Photography Award-winning studies Bee and The Topography of Tears. Her photographs are exhibited in galleries, festivals, and museums across the world and have been featured by the Dr. Oz Show, NPR, Smithsonian, Harper’s, New Yorker, Time, Wired, Reader’s Digest, Discover, Brain Pickings, and elsewhere. She received her BFA from Otis Art Institute and lives in Los Angeles.

Download or read book Empathy s Role in Understanding Persons Literature and Art written by Thomas Petraschka and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-03 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume critically discusses the role empathy plays in different processes of understanding. More precisely, it clarifies empathy’s role in interpersonal understanding and appreciating works of literature and art. The volume also includes a section on historical theories of empathy’s role in understanding. When it comes to understanding other persons, empathy is typically seen as a process that enables the empathizer to recognize a target person’s mental states, a process which is in turn seen as “understanding” this person. This volume, however, explores empathy’s role in understanding beyond mere mental state recognition. With contributions on processes of interpersonal understanding and understanding of literature and art, it provides readers with an overview over both differences and similarities regarding empathy’s epistemic role in two rather different areas. Since important roots of the debate about empathic understanding lie at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century, the historical section of the volume focusses specifically on this period. Empathy’s Role in Understanding Persons, Literature, and Art will appeal to scholars and advanced students working in the philosophy of mind, epistemology, aesthetics and the history of philosophy, as well as in literary studies and art history.
