The Insider Guide to PDA By Sally Cat, Brook Madera, Linda K. Murphy
NEW
"Don’t tell me what to do" - everyone’s said it (or thought it!), but for the PDA brain it’s a tenet that makes everyday tasks a constant challenge. Whether it’s a request from a friend or a social expectation to do something, pathological demand avoidance can throw a bucket of ice water on your motivation or create anxiety that builds up and boils over as a meltdown. In this essential primer, PDAers Sally Cat and Brook Madera explain what PDA is, how it manifests, and what you can do to minimise its impact. They explore its interaction with other forms of neurodivergence, potential misdiagnosis as a multitude of other conditions and disorders, and how it actually feels in reality. They also highlight the positives of PDA life, as shared by other PDAers and their loved ones.
You will learn how the menopause can cause changes to your emotions, attention and memory as well as affect things like sensory issues, masking and communication, giving you tools to manage changes effectively and, most importantly, provide reassurance that you’re not alone. Whether you’re an autistic person currently going through the menopause, are not yet menopausal, or have come out the other side, this book provides the knowledge and support you have been missing.
Whether you’re a PDAer yourself, or know one and want to support them, this Insider Guide will help you understand what PDA is and how to live with it.

Treatment Approaches for Body Image in Art Therapy
Sandplay: the Image Speaks for Itself Signposts, Symbols and Themes on the Path of the Sandplay Journey
By Eileen Misluk-Gervase, Taylor McClane
By Lenore Steinhardt
This book examines how the development of a sense of self and body, and the social, cultural and situational factors responsible for that shaping, are understood through a therapeutic lens. Intended for practicing art therapists to enhance their understanding and treatment of body image within their work, this book applies contemporary research in neuroscience and diverse clinical populations.
Every sandtray is filled with symbolic meaning - the key is learning what there is to read and how to read it. This book emphasizes the importance of visual imagery and meticulous observation to interpret sandplays, allowing practitioners to find the authentic meanings in clients' sandplay expression before applying theory or referring to a patient's history.
