This book describes how dreamwork can help alleviate depression, in both long-term and time-limited psychotherapy, and in self-treatment. The author shows how dreams shed light on issues contributing to depression-including drug and alcohol abuse, divorce, death and bereavement, conflicts about sex, health and body image, parenting, workplace stress and burnout, and ancestral, intergenerational trauma. Greg Bogart presents a synthesis of Jungian and existential psychotherapy, detailing how attention to archetypal symbolism brings into immediate focus new responses to pressing life challenges. He shows that allowing oneself to be affected by dream images and narratives promotes emotional, relational, and spiritual rejuvenation.

The book is the first of its kind to offer alternative holistic ways to describe, interpret and treat all 170 mental and emotional diagnoses worldwide in an attempt to remove the stigma and pathology associated with mental illness and restore sufferers' sense of value and worth. Dr. Kemp believes traditional interventions are "fragmented" and therefore, prescribes holistic treatments that honor the whole person - mind, body and spirit. The book offers 8 Steps to mental and emotional well-being, integrating universal spiritual principles that get to the energy-basis of the matter, while also honoring other alternative healing modalities including herbal remedies which are usually minimized in the American mental health community. In addition to the 170 alternative descriptions and healing processes, the book offers 24 healing exercises, illustrations, as well as a dozen aftercare practices, along with free online aftercare support directly with Dr. Kemp, who also healed herself using many of the interventions prescribed. Plus, readers are invited to call-in to the radio show From Psychotherapy to Sacretherapy(r) with Dr. Kemp, aired weekly as an added support for those going through the Sacretherapy(r) process, on blogtalkradio.com

Edge addresses the use of intuition and altered states of consciousness in psychotherapy and counseling. She presents a wide array of healing techniques upon an historical backdrop of the birth and development of humanistic, transpersonal, and spiritual psychologies.

In Psychotherapy Integration, George Stricker discusses the history, theory, and practice of this approach to therapy. Although no single therapeutic model claims a majority of practitioners, the most frequently endorsed approach is integrative or eclectic therapy. This attests to the reality of modern psychotherapy practice, which is that almost every therapist uses, at least in part, psychotherapy integration. Psychotherapy integration looks beyond the confines of single-school approaches to see what can be learned and incorporated from other perspectives. Integration involves not only taking techniques from other models and applying them in different approaches - something usually categorized as eclecticism - but also attending to the relationship between technique and theory. This brief introduction describes the full range of psychotherapy integration models, including the common factors approach, technical integration, theoretical integration, and assimilative integration, with a particular focus on the last approach. In this book, the author presents and explores psychotherapy integration, its theory, history, the therapy process, primary change mechanisms, empirical basis, and future developments. This essential primer, amply illustrated with case examples featuring diverse clients, is perfect for graduate students studying theories of therapy and counseling as well as for seasoned practitioners interested in understanding this approach. It is part of the ""Theories of Psychotherapy"".

This comprehensive resource covers a broad array of research strategies available to massage therapists to give them the tools they need to be knowledgeable readers of research literature, as well as active researchers. The primary focus of the book is on the quantitative aspect of research that encompasses the principal types of studies most extensively used in the various health care professions, specifically massage therapy. Extensive coverage is also given to the qualitative and integrative research categories that are progressively gaining recognition among researchers in various health science disciplines and professions. Accommodates the March 2003 mandate from the Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation (COMTA) that massage therapy schools incorporate into their curricula provisions to ensure a research literate profession. Examples and techniques for interpreting research guide practitioners and students to be knowledgeable readers of massage therapy research, allowing application to practice.

In these pages you will find a detailed introduction to the theory and practice of one of the most recent, and most comprehensive, forms of holistic counselling and psychotherapy. This new system (for helping people to optimize their positive experiences of life, and to process their negative experiences), necessarily deals with emotions, thinking, stories and narratives, plus bodily states; and thus is called Emotive-Cognitive Embodied Narrative Therapy (E-CENT).This book has been designed to be helpful for three audiences:(1) Counsellors, psychotherapists, coaches, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, educators and others;(2) Students of counselling, psychotherapy, psychology, psychiatry, social work and related disciplines; and:(3) Self-help and personal development enthusiasts.The content of this book has been a long time incubating, at the very least since 2001 when I first tried to defend the ABC model of Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) by relating it to the three core components of Freud's model of the mind (or psyche): (1) the Id (or It [or baby-at-birth]); the Ego (or sense of self, or personality); and the Superego (or 'internalized other', including social and moral rules). The more I tried to defend REBT, the more its core models fell apart in my hands!At the same time, I was studying thirteen different systems of counselling and therapy, from Freud and Jung, via Rogers and Perls, and the behaviourists, to the cognitivists and existentialists.Later, I considered Plato's model of the mind, alongside the Buddhist and Stoic philosophies of mind.Into this mix, at some point, Attachment theory arrived, and that helped to make more sense of the emerging model of mind: (Gerhardt, 2010). Attachment theory, and Object relations theory - (Gomez, 1997) - eventually formed the core of my model of the mother-baby dyad, and the way in which the mind of the baby was born out of the interpenetration (or overlapping interactions) of the physical baby and the cultural mother.And this gave rise to a greater awareness of the individual counselling client as a 'social individual', who is 'wired up' (neurologically) by social stories to be a creature of habit, living out of historic scripts; and viewing the world through non-conscious frames which dictate how things 'show up' in their automatic (cumulative-interpretive) apprehension of the external world. As these developments were reaching fruition, I also discovered the insights of interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB - Siegel 2015) and Affect Regulation Theory (Hill, 2015).~~~But even beyond those developments, I also became increasingly aware that, because we are body-minds, our experience of sleep, diet, exercise, alcohol, water consumption, and socio-economic circumstances - (in addition to current and historic relationships) - have as much to do with our emotional disturbances (very often) as do our psychological habits of mind.And in Appendix E, Renata Taylor-Byrne presents compelling evidence, from reliable sources, that dietary changes and physical exercise can produce dramatic reductions in levels of anger, anxiety and depression; anti-depressants are not nearly as effective as has been claimed (and that physical exercise alone is as effective at curing depression as are antidepressant drugs); that drug companies hide negative trial results; that the real pills often fail to outperform placebo (sugar) pills; that the real pills are often totally ineffective; that they seem to be addictive, and difficult to get off in some cases; and they have serious side effects (in some cases involving suicidal ideation). And in addition, we agree with those theorists who have argued that physical exercise is at least as effective as anti-depressants; and also that some forms of dietary change can and do reduce and/or eliminate depression, and also reduce anxiety and anger.
