This book brings psychiatric problems to life by presenting twelve real case histories which illustrate common psychiatric conditions and their treatment. Each case history is followed by sections in which the psychiatrist "thinks aloud" about the factors that will influence the diagnosis and treatment of the case. These cases present realistic management problems, and will thus be useful to both psychiatrists in training and practicing psychiatrists who wish to polish their skills.

Understanding Repeated Self-Injury: A Multidisciplinary Approach

Why do some people repeatedly injure themselves? How common is this form of self-harm? How can professionals offer appropriate intervention and support to those whose lives are troubled by it, either directly or indirectly? This authoritative and systematic book adopts a holistic approach to the problem of repeated self-injury and the difficult emotions and experiences that it gives rise to. Bringing together theory, research and a wealth of case vignettes, Understanding Repeated Self-Injury examines both the psychological and physical aspects of self-injury. The authors explain how deliberate cutting or burning of the skin is used by many as a way to overcome and temporarily escape bad feeling and thus transcend the limits of their identity. In particular, the book - presents a unifying model for theory and practice, based on the phenomenology of self-injury - examines the important role of identity and dissociation in perpetuating self-injury - considers the wider impact of self-injury on family and friends, and on staff - addresses treatment strategies and self-help resources. Each chapter draws on the authors' considerable clinical experience across a range of contexts, and is written with professionals and trainees particularly in mind. This book is an essential introduction and indispensable resource for those working, or considering to work, in counselling, therapeutic and health care settings where they are or might be confronted with the complexities of self-injury.

Red Globe Press

This important and timely book gives a balanced synthesis, based on actual cases, evidence, practice, and experience, to describe the process of psychotherapy and identify the fundamental elements that lead to good outcome across all its schools. In the course of developing a consistently reliable, effective, practical psychotherapy, Digby Tantam pinpoints four essential principles to provide essential reading for psychiatrists or clinical psychologists looking for a straightforward framework for short-term psychotherapy and anyone working long-term with patients using a psychotherapy model.

Psychotherapy and Counselling in Practice: A Narrative Framework

Mental Health

Cambridge University Press

Part of the College Seminars Series.A book about basic science for the clinical scientist psychiatrists, clinical psychology students, general practitioners, community psychiatric nurses and social workers. Each chapter comprehensively reviews the current state of one aspect of the basic science as it relates to mental health. Links between clinical practice and some of the most recent theories considered in this book have yet to be made. However, over the next decade many of these are likely to dominate the research and service agenda, such as ethnicity as a determinant of health care, connectionist models of mental functioning, and the effects of sex and gender on mental health. For those looking for new paradigms in the social sciences, the book will prove an essential source.

Routledge

Self-wounding is surprisingly common with one in every 600 people wounding themselves sufficiently to receive hospital treatment.

Covering both the psychological and physical aspects of repeated self-wounding, the book presents the latest research evidence and uses engaging case examples. Therapeutic options are discussed. The book also addresses some of the difficulties professionals, family and friends experience when seeking to provide treatment and care.

The world affords to most of us a web of subliminal nonverbal communication that regulates our minds, indicates whether our beliefs have, or have not, social approval, and generally guides us. People with autism do not seem to be influenced by these subliminal signals as much as others, and this results in the difficulties in social interaction that are so characteristic of all the autistic spectrum disorders. How is such nonverbal communication carried out, and why do people on the autism spectrum find it so difficult? What are the consequences of this for them, and how do these consequences affect their personality, self-awareness, and sense of place in the world?  Digby Tantam explores current theories on nonverbal communication and how it shapes social behaviour, and the evidence for it being impaired in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). He shows how knowledge of this difference can be used to overcome some of the impairments in nonverbal communication in people with ASD, but also how acknowledging them can result in more positive development elsewhere.  This groundbreaking book will be fascinating reading for anyone interested in communication, as well as people who have ASD themselves, their families, and all professionals working with people on the autism spectrum.

Can the World Afford Autistic Spectrum Disorder?: Nonverbal Communication, Asperger Syndrome and the Interbrain

Jessica Kingsley Publishers

Autism Spectrum Disorders Through the Life Span

This professional text covers every aspect of Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD), from science to services, from the most disabling Kanner's syndrome to the most high-functioning Asperger syndrome, and from birth to old age. 
The book contains the latest research on the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, intervention and support of individuals with ASD, and examines their implications at various stages of life. A wide range of neurological, genetic, psychological, developmental, social, and emotional issues are covered, and the author also includes less accessible information on the diagnosis and treatment of associated psychiatric and medical conditions, the overlap between the ASDs and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and the management of behavioural and forensic problems. The author does not presume existing technical knowledge and the background to new methods of assessment, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging, standardized clinical and psychological assessment, and genetic testing, is explained.
This book will be an indispensable primary resource for paediatricians, psychiatrists, clinical and educational psychologists, specialist nurses, counsellors, psychotherapists, legal professionals and others working with individuals of all ages who are on the autism spectrum. It will also be of interest to any carers and people with an ASD who want to know about the up to date research into the causes and treatment of the disorder.
