Review: A very good book for.self help and for experienced clinicians. Mary Wellford is very good so I’m not surprised having attended one of her training days. I’m an accredited CBT therapist so I hopefully know what I’m talking about.

Review: It wouldn’t be fair to say that this book has nothing to offer, but neither does it seem fair to say that it doesn’t suffer from a bit of pink and fluffy. The author’s genuine desire to help is evident and commendable and in itself is worth 5 stars, but in her attempt to make the subject approachable she falls into the trap of too much caution wrapped around her advice (as if she’s trying to cover every base or trying to avoid future litigation) and she makes too many friendly asides with exclamation marks, rather like one finds in children’s books. Like many similar therapists, she frequently suggests that the reader should draw on some emotional experience related to children or work which infers that she has no structure to offer for those who have no experience of the former and are not involved in the latter. In fairness, these are suggestions and not instructions so the reader ultimately will have to find something in their own experience which equates – if they have anything which will fit. The therapy can’t be used by reference only to individual chapters, as the author says it will in her introduction, because it’s a bit to-and-fro. In one chapter she will present a certain exercise but part of it requires procedures which are only to be found in later chapters, so it’s necessary to read the whole book first. There were a few catastrophic typo’s and the grammar and syntax is a bit wearing, because it follows the style which infests all media today – incorrect and too frequent use of ‘hopefully’, ‘amazingly’ ‘incredibly’ etc. Ultimately it will depend on the individual as to how much they will benefit from this book. This is the first ‘Dummies’ book I’ve read and am therefore surprised to read that some feel it isn’t as ‘dummy’ as others in the series. For me, it was terribly dumbed-down and didn’t engage my attention as an adult-to-adult book should. It’s certainly a sincere attempt but if you like your advice presented in a more grown-up way, maybe this will disappoint.

  • Waterstones Relating to Voices using Compassion Focused Therapy

    Price: £21.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: Relating to Voices helps people who hear voices to develop a more compassionate understanding and relationship with their voices. In this book, authors Charlie and Eleanor create a warm and caring tone for the reader and a respectful tone for their voices. With the help of regular 'check-in boxes', the book guides the reader towards an understanding of what voices are, what they may represent, and how we can learn to work with them in a way that leads to a more peaceful relationship. It offers a shift away from viewing voices as the enemies, towards viewing them as potential allies in emotional problem-solving. This approach may be different to some others that readers have come across, which can often be about challenging voices, suppressing them, distracting from them, or getting rid of them. The Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) approach suggests that we can learn to relate to both voices and ourselves in a way that is less about conflict and more about cooperation. This book will be a useful companion for voice-hearers as well as for their supporters and allies in their journey of self-help. It will also be of use to mental health and social service workers.

    Description: Created by world-renowned psychologist Paul Gilbert, compassion-focused therapy (CFT) is extremely effective in helping clients work through painful feelings of shame and self-criticism. However, the theoretical aspects of this therapy-such as evolutionary psychology, attachment theory, and affective neuroscience-can make CFT difficult to grasp. This book provides everything you need to start implementing CFT in practice, either as a primary therapy modality or as an adjunctive approach to other therapies, such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and more. CFT has unique strengths, and is especially effective in helping clients work through troubling thoughts and behaviors, approach themselves and others with greater compassion and kindness, and feel safer and more confident in their ability to handle life's challenges and difficulties. This book articulates the theoretical basis of the therapy in simple, easy-to-follow language, and offers practical guidance and strategies on how to tailor your CFT approach to specific client populations. As a clinician interested in the benefits of CFT but wary of the dense theoretical principles that lay behind it, you need a user-friendly guide that will let you hit the ground running. CFT Made Simple is that guide.

    Description: This lucidly written guide integrates cutting-edge neuroscience with mindfulness and traditional Buddhist practices to show mental health professionals how they can help clients develop a more loving, kind and forgiving attitude towards themselves. Researchers now understand that self-compassion is a skill that can be strengthened through deliberate practice, and that it is one of the strongest predictors of mental health and wellness. The brain's compassion centre, which neuroscientists call the Care Circuit, can be targeted and fortified using specific techniques. Filled with illuminating case examples, Self-Compassion in Psychotherapy shows readers how to apply self-compassion practices to treat depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, relationship problems, self-sabotage and more. Readers do not need to have any background in mindfulness in order to benefit from this book. However, those that do will find that self-compassion practices have the capacity to add new layers of depth to mindfulness-based therapies such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).
