  • Waterstones The Shame Machine

    Price: £20.00

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: Shame is being weaponized by governments and corporations to attack the most vulnerable. It's time to fight back. Shame is a powerful and sometimes useful tool. When we publicly shame corrupt politicians, abusive celebrities, or predatory corporations, we reinforce values of fairness and justice. But as best-selling author Cathy O' Neil argues in this revelatory book, shaming has taken a new and dangerous turn. It is increasingly being weaponized - used as a way to shift responsibility for social problems from institutions to individuals. Shaming children for not being able to afford school lunches or adults for not being able to find work lets us off the hook as a society. After all, why pay higher taxes to fund programmes for people who are fundamentally unworthy? O' Neil explores the machinery behind all this shame, showing how governments, corporations and the healthcare system capitalize on it. There are damning stories of rehab clinics, reentry programs, drug and diet companies, and social media platforms - all of which profit from 'punching down' on the vulnerable. Woven throughout The Shame Machine is the story of O' Neil's own struggle with body image and her recent weight-loss surgery, which awakened her to the systematic shaming of fat people seeking medical care. With clarity and nuance, O' Neil dissects the relationship between shame and power. Whom does the system serve? How do current incentive structures perpetuate the shaming cycle? And, most important, how can we all fight back?.

  • Waterstones Embracing Shame

    Price: £15.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: Why do we feel shame? Given how painful and destructive shame can be, it's easy to see this emotion as a flaw in the human makeup that turns our own mind against us. But every aspect of our psyche has both a light and shadow side - and that includes shame. 'While toxic shame can keep us stuck in a self-defeating vortex," say Bret Lyon and Sheila Rubin, 'there is a healthy expression of shame designed to protect us, help us change, and actually build our self-esteem." With Embracing Shame, these expert teachers share an invaluable guide to an emotion so volatile that most of us - including therapists - avoid talking about it. Here they explore the dynamics of shame, the reasons it arises, how it disguises itself as other emotions, and why it causes such harm. Through case studies, creative tools, and body-based practices, they show you how to break the cycle of toxic shame and access the messages, insights, and surprising gifts that become available as you access inner reservoirs of positive energy. No amount of self-talk, personal success, or therapy can eradicate shame. Yet as these authors have proven through decades of successful teaching, we can transform shame into the supportive force it was meant to be. Embracing Shame offers an achievable path for reclaiming the true potential of this vital emotion to help you grow, connect, and become the person you want to be.

    Price: £29.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: A masterful synthesis of relational and attachment theory, neurobiology, and contemporary psychoanalysis, Understanding and Treating Chronic Shame has been internationally recognized as an essential text on shame.

Three Faces of Shame organizes the clinical wisdom of the book into clear guidelines for differential diagnosis and treatment. Lucid and compassionate, this book engages with the most profound challenges of clinical practice and touches into the depths of being human.

  • Waterstones The Origins of Social Care and Social Work

    Price: £26.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: European and North American notions of helping - or managing - poor and marginalised people have deep roots in religious texts and traditions which continue to influence contemporary social policy and social work practice in ways which many do not realise. Bringing together interdisciplinary scholarship, Mark Henrickson argues that it is essential to understand and critique social work's origins in order to work out what to retain and what must change if we are to achieve the vision of a truly global profession. Addressing current debates in international social work about social justice, professionalisation, and the legacy of colonisation, this thought-provoking book will allow practitioners and scholars to consider and create a global future for social work.

  • Waterstones Unlearning Shame

    Price: £20.00

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: FROM THE TRAILBLAZING AUTHOR OF UNMASKING AUTISM' With the authentic voice I've grown to expect from Devon [.] This book articulates a feeling that has lurked in the dark corners of so many minds and brings it into the light where it can be faced, embraced, understood, and ultimately, healed. Stop doomscrolling and read this book. You'll feel better, I promise.' -Celeste Headlee, journalist and bestselling author How many times a day do you feel shame? Struggling to pay the bills; buying a top made in a sweatshop; reading the news and feeling - yet again - a powerlessness to the point of apathy? In today's self-blame culture, it often feels impossible not to carry shame about the choices we make and the values by which we live. When the political is so personal, and the personal is so political, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the sense that we're not doing enough - maybe, even, that we're not enough. In this bold and transformative manifesto, social psychologist and author of Unmasking Autism Dr Devon Price takes an in-depth look at shame and the role it plays in our lives. Systemic Shame traps us into fighting unwinnable battles and judging others for their failures. But it especially affects those who are already vulnerable because they're carrying shame from a difficult past or a complicated sense of self-esteem. This new, radically positive book shows us that there is no such thing as becoming good enough to be deserving of love; that we must claim acceptance for ourselves. Blending the latest social psychology, personal insights and empowering practical exercises, Unlearning Shame is a radical guide to overcoming self-blame and embracing a new culture - one where we take control of the choices we make and the future we create.

  • Waterstones Using the Law in Social Work

    Price: £26.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: A core function of social work is to assist, empower, and protect the most vulnerable in society. Social workers make difficult decisions in complex and challenging situations every day. They work in organizations that have clear statutory duties. Therefore, it is essential that social work students know what their responsibilities are. Familiarity with law, legislation, and legal processes is consequently fundamental to sound social work practice. This best-selling book will help you gain this foothold in understanding law as it applies to social work practice. It avoids complicated legal jargon remote from the everyday realities of practice, offering instead a grounding in legally-appropriate, rights-based social work. It covers the full range of social work law, including services for children and families and child protection, adult care law, youth justice, court work, professional regulation, and human rights. .
