This book addresses the underlying philosophy and rationale for the training of psychotherapists. How can training prepare prospective psychotherapists and counsellors for a task whose practitioners cannot even agree as to whether it is a science or an art, an impersonal clinical interaction or a profoundly humane, even spiritual, encounter? The authors argue for an understanding of psychotherapy training as a process which closely parallels that of therapy itself.

This book addresses the ethical and philosophical basis for the teaching/learning involved in becoming a psychotherapist. How can training prepare prospective psychotherapists, counsellors, and counselling psychologists for a task whose practitioners cannot even agree as to whether it is an art or a science, an impersonal clinical interaction or a profoundly humane, even 'spiritual' encounter? The authors believe they share with their students a passion about the possibilities inherent in this particular kind of conversation. Such a meeting demands a fully personal engagement and a profoundly ethical attitude towards the relationship with the Other; it is also potentially an important beginning in 'repairing the world'. The book explores the relative importance and emphasis of the structure, content and process of psychotherapy training. Its thesis is that the teaching/learning takes place in the quality of the reciprocal meeting between the teacher and the learner.

The Psyche in the Modern World sets out to open consulting room doors and bring the concept of the Psyche, and its main advocate, the psychotherapy discipline, into public space and into the realm of interdisciplinary discourse. A culture of carefully guarded clinical confidentialities inadvertently turned the consulting room into a proverbial ivory tower which has done much to obscure the psychotherapeutic body of knowledge and contributed to the myths and misinformation that surround and veil psychotherapy in the public space. This book redresses the balance and confronts some challenging, and sometimes uncomfortable, questions about the dichotomies that both characterize our relationships with the Psyche and contextualize the provision of psychotherapy services today. The contributors present contemporary discussion on a broad range of current subjects, encompassing socio-political as well as philosophical, theoretical and clinical dimensions, in an accessible manner.

This book explores the importance of effective multi-agency and multi-disciplinary partnership work for the mental health of children and young people in care and adoption. It takes an overall systemic perspective, but the co-authors contribute different theoretical approaches. It focuses on practice, showing how practitioners can draw on their varied theoretical approaches to enhance the way they work together and in partnership with carers and with professionals from other agencies. The book provides a context that looks at the needs of children and young people in the care and adoption systems, the overall importance for their mental health of joined up 'corporate parenting', and national and local approaches to this. It then moves to focus on practical ways of working therapeutically in partnership with others who contribute diverse skills and perspectives, using specific case examples. Additional chapters look at collaborative ways of working with key carers to enhance their therapeutic role. Finally, some of the main elements of partnership collaboration are explored, as well as the challenges of work across agencies and disciplines.

Welcome to the house on Boleskine, home of Aleister Crowley. Head of the occult. A master of magick with the demonic gifts of deception and manipulation. The user and abuser of drugs and narcotics to achieve his own personal goals of transcendence and ascension. Using murder and mayhem as common tools, he's attempting to build his empire, and it looks like nothing stands in his way—except a loving mother and her powerfully gifted daughter. As the harbinger of dark magick and the religious leader of Thelema, a devious cult nestled in the bosom of Northern Scotland's Loch Ness, Aleister strives to create the ultimate hallucinogenic elixir, DMT, for the purpose of activating the pineal gland, a gland that, when activated, will give him the power of telepathic clairvoyance. His ultimate goal? To control and weaponize the interdimensional gateways we know as the portals.Rose McCall is a beautifully divine matriarch whose sole intent is to keep her powerful daughter safe from the clutches of Crowley, who views the daughter as his key to the portal system. Travel to totems from around the world as Aleister attempts to solidify his endgame and reach total ascension for the purpose of becoming a deity to mankind. Rose has different plans, as she uses Aleister's mental incompetence against him to thwart his fulfillment of Satanic totalitarian rule over this dimension and the countless multiverses throughout time. Good and evil are going to clash as the righteous now decide to fight Aleister. Chrysalis is the first in the Aleister Crowley Trilogy: The House on Boleskine.

The stunning finale of the Project Nemesis trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Brendan Reichs. The 64 members of Fire Lake's sophomore class have managed to survive the first two phases of the Program--and each other. Now, they alone have emerged into the dawn of a new era on Earth, into a Fire Lake valley that's full of otherworldly dangers and challenges. Although staying alive in this broken world should force Min, Noah, Tack, and the others to form new alliances, old feuds die hard, and the brutality of the earlier Program phases cannot be forgotten. But being a team isn't easy for the sophomores, and when they discover that they may not be alone on the planet after all, they'll have to decide if they're going to work together . . . or die together.
