Book Description
This book introduces readers to the known psychological aspects of climate change as a pressing global concern and explores how they are relevant to current and future clinical practice. Arguing that it is vital for ecological concerns to enter the therapy room, this book calls for change from regulatory bodies, training institutes and individual practitioners. The book includes original thinking and research by practitioners from a range of perspectives, including psychodynamic, eco-systemic and integrative. It considers how our different modalities and ways of working need to be adapted to be applicable to the ecological crises. It includes Voices from people who are not practitioners about their experience including how they see the role of therapy. Chapters deal with topics from climate science, including the emotional and mental health impacts of climate breakdown, professional ethics and wider systemic understandings of current therapeutic approaches. Also discussed are the practice-based implications of becoming a climate-aware therapist, eco-psychosocial approaches and the inextricable links between the climate crises and racism, colonialism and social injustice. Being a Therapist in a Time of Climate Breakdown will enable therapists and mental health professionals across a range of modalities to engage with their own thoughts and feelings about climate breakdown and consider how it both changes and reinforces aspects of their therapeutic work.

Book Description
28 leading psychologists, therapists, and mental-health healers reflect on the potential—and necessity—of adapting clinical care in response to the climate crisis With essays from Francis Weller, Bayo Akomolafe, Hāweatea Holly Bryson, and more As the devastating impacts of the climate crisis become clear, therapists and mental-health workers are increasingly finding it necessary to integrate a response to global environmental collapse into their work with clients. Weather chaos, wildfires, heat waves, the loss of biodiversity, flash floods, and other indicators of extreme global disruption are contributing to “climate anxiety” in many of us—and in the process, exacerbating existing mental-health issues. With so many immediate and intensifying crises unfolding around us, how can therapists adapt to promote healing and growth? Climate, Psychology, and Change brings together a diverse group of psychologists and mental-health healers calling for a sea change in the field. In this provocative and necessary collection, editor Steffi Bednarek, a psychotherapist specializing in climate psychology, suggests that what is needed is “a regenerative disturbance to the commons of our profession”—an urgent and insistent call to action, but one that is also profoundly hopeful about our potential for positive change. Within Western paradigms, psychotherapy has been seen as a way to bring a distressed person back within the realm of the “familiar”—but when the “familiar” or the dominant norms of a society are actively contributing to global destruction, we need to fundamentally reconsider this approach. We can no longer think of therapeutic practice as bringing clients back to a baseline “normal”; rather, we need to help others—and ourselves—navigate an unknown future with skill and grace, building resilience for the struggles we can clearly see unfolding before us. Adopting a holistic and intersectional lens, the essays here address the historical relationships between psychology as a discipline and underlying structures (such as colonialism and capitalism) driving many of our current global crises. Conversations between Indigenous healers and Western psychotherapists reflect on what a decolonization of the field might look like, and how psychologists might reframe and re-vision its essential frameworks and tools. Other chapters dig into what psychologists have to offer the struggle for social and climate justice, such as using therapeutic tools for responding to trauma; identifying patterns in unhelpful responses to climate emergency (denial; numbness; despair); and fostering the resilience in individuals and communities that is necessary to be able to work toward creative solutions to the complex and intersecting crises we face today.

Book Description
Social Action Art Therapy in a Time of Crisis outlines theories and models of social action art therapy, identifies its application in times of crisis, and explores the ways in which art therapy can work effectively for individuals and groups experiencing crisis. Drawing upon various ecologies, climate psychology, and eco-art therapy, this book addresses various responses to climate change, including notions of belonging, the physicality of experience, and the role of imagination in creating alternative versions of the future. The author presents a social action approach to art therapy as a way of addressing the political and collective components of climate change as well as the individual and emotional components. To help explore what social action art therapy can offer in this time of crisis, the author illustrates examples that show how the ideas have been used in other moments of crisis, including asylum, refuge, and domestic abuse. This innovative book contributes to the development of contemporary art therapy practice and will be of interest to arts therapists, arts psychotherapists, expressive therapists, ecotherapists, ecopsychologists, arts-based researchers, and many more.

Book Description
Depth Psychology and Climate Change offers a sensitive and insightful look at how ideas from depth psychology can move us beyond psychological overwhelm when facing the ecological disaster of climate change and its denial. Integrating ideas from disciplines including anthropology, politics, spirituality, mythology and philosophy, contributors consider how climate change affects psychological well-being and how we can place hope and radical uncertainty alongside rage and despair. The book explores symbols of transformation, myths and futures; and is structured to encourage regular reflection. Each contributor brings their own perspective – green politics, change and loss, climate change denial, consumerism and our connection to nature – suggesting responses to mental suffering arising from an unstable and uncertain international outlook. They examine how subsequent changes in consciousness can develop. This book will be essential reading for analytical psychologists, Jungian analysts and psychotherapists, as well as academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies. It will also be of great interest to academics and students of the politics and policy of climate change, anthropology, myth and symbolism and ecopsychology, and to anyone seeking a new perspective on the climate emergency.

Book Description
My aim in writing this book was to provide a guide to management for student occupational therapists and practitioners in the field. It is not intended to provide an answer to every conceivable management situation. The organization and delivery of health and social services is being subjected to relentless scrutiny and change. Hardly has one proposal been implemented before another one is introduced. In view of this, the thrust of this book is to highlight key points to be addressed when looking at the delivery of occupational therapy services. For this reason, the book starts from the viewpoint of one who is in the early stages of an occupational therapy career through to the position of having to manage the staff in an occupational therapy departmentl service. Following this plan, the book has been organized into two parts. Part One covers issues that an occupational therapist has to confront directly in any job situation. In this situation, she will need to know wh at is expected of her. Apart from knowing about the various duties, it is necessary to understand the context in which these duties are to be conducted. Hence, there are chapters that discuss professional responsibilities, self-management, stan dards of practice, and the structure of the two biggest employers of occupational therapists - the NHS and local authority social services departments.

Book Description
Finally—a resource that describes the “how,” “when,” and “with whom” of remotivation therapy! In recent years, remotivation therapy has become an integral part of a patient care plan in a wide variety of settings. What started out as group therapy sessions in a psychiatric setting has expanded into a therapeutic modality effective in geriatric long-term and day care settings, social clubs, group homes for people who were formerly institutionalized, substance abuse centers, prisons, and most recently, in facilities that provide programs for patients with Alzheimer’s or Huntington’s disease. This book examines remotivation therapy in diverse settings that include volunteer and independent living programs, an area health education center, and a state mental hospital. You’ll also find the results of studies conducted in more than a dozen settings with widely varied client populations. The Handbook of Remotivation Therapy will familiarize you with: the role of the therapist in both basic and advanced remotivation therapy-step-by-step instructions on what (and what not) to do questions and concepts to use in remotivation sessions, dealing with choices, realistic scenarios, reminiscing, and stimulation funding options for remotivation therapy programs the positive public relations impact for institutions that utilize remotivation therapy programs designing and assembling a collaborative team to provide remotivation therapy the fifty-year history of remotivation therapy—from its birth as the brainchild of Dorothy Hoskins Smith, to its initial clinical use at Philadelphia State Hospital, to the pioneering work of Walter F. Pullinger, Jr., and the roles of the Smith, Kline, and French Foundation and the National Remotivation Therapy Organization (NRTO) In the Handbook of Remotivation Therapy, you’ll find chapters that thoughtfully explore the specifics of this type of group work: in rehabilitative settings, correctional institutions, nursing care facilities, mental health hospitals, and in long-term care settings in substance abuse prevention, treatment, and relapse prevention in conjunction with recreation therapy with deinstitutionalized clients with persons who have Huntington’s disease with persons who have Alzheimer’s disease Remotivation therapy deals with the strengths, rather than weaknesses, of the client, and can be performed by any trained health professional, social worker, relative, or technician. It saves time and money for mental health professionals with heavy caseloads by preparing noncommunicative clients for more advanced types of therapy. The Handbook of Remotivation Therapy can help you add this results-based and extraordinarily cost-effective group treatment modality to your therapeutic arsenal.
