All therapeutic approaches employed in counselling and psychotherapy are based upon particular models or assumptions about people, their nature and what causes them to develop psychological problems or 'psychopathology'. Psychopathology and Therapeutic Approaches offers students and trainee practitioners with little or no prior knowledge a concise and much-needed introduction to psychopathology and the different forms of psychological assistance available. All the major models of psychopathology are discussed, along with the therapeutic approaches they inform, including: *psychoanalytic and psychodynamic, *behavioural and cognitive, and *humanistic approaches. In recognition of the non-psychological influences on people's lives, the book also introduces readers to a number of additional important but often over-looked approaches, including the biomedical, the transpersonal and the socio-cultural. Key practice issues, such as the role of scientific method and research in counselling and psychotherapy, the importance of evidence based practice, and the development and implications of eclecticism and integration, are outlined and evaluated. With its accessible style and captivating use of case examples, Psychopathology and Therapeutic Approaches will appeal to students studying abnormal or applied psychology within health studies, nursing, social work and psychology courses, as well as to all newcomers to counselling and psychotherapy .

We’ve Lost Our Way!  The family is disintegrating, the church perceived as irrelevant and our personal faith reduced to denominational conformance. Meanwhile, atheism, Islam and New Age religions are on the rise. We need more than inspiration, we need another reformation and you need to be part of it.  What is true Christianity? What is the church meant to be like? How is the Christian family supposed to function? How can we make a difference which will yield lasting fruit? It is time to discard the mountains of man’s traditions and seek answers from God Himself. After all, man’s methods and wisdom, apart from God, have proven a failure throughout history.  Find out the key to personal, family, church and national revival from the one who wrote The Book. If you care about your personal relationship with God, the multigenerational faithfulness of your family and the relevance of your church in an increasingly hostile world, this book is essential reading.

John Muir's botanical legacy
 Stunned into awe by the orchid Calypso borealis, John Muir wrote: ''I never before saw a plant so full of life, so perfectly spiritual, it seemed pure enough for the throne of its Creator.''
 Muir was blessed throughout his life with a love of plants. He tucked away interesting specimens from wherever he traveled, sent them to herbariums all over the country, and wrote passionately of them to friends and colleagues. Skilled in the technical aspects of botany, Muir also found in plants ''pleasure so deep, so pure, so endless.'' The revelatory beauty of plants provided inspiration that suffused his career as a writer, adventurer, and environmental advocate.
 In this opulently produced book, photographer Stephen J. Joseph presents images of plants collected directly by Muir, while scholar Bonnie J. Gisel richly lays before us the life and words of a man at once familiar and surprising, a towering figure forever smitten with ''nature's irresistible, divine beauty.''
 Foreword by David Rains Wallace.
