The Johns Hopkins Guide to Everyday Psychological First Aid
A Practical Approach to Helping Family, Friends, Coworkers, and Others Cope
By George S. Everly Jr., Jeffrey M. Lating
A practical guide for how to offer compassionate, effective support during times of emotional crisis and acute distress.
The Johns Hopkins Guide to Everyday Psychological First Aid equips readers with the tools to respond effectively and compassionately to emotional crises-whether they unfold in a home, workplace, school, or public setting.
Based on decades of research, experience, and real-world examples, George S. Everly, Jr, and Jeffrey M. Lating present a streamlined, accessible version of the Johns Hopkins RAPID model of psychological first aid, designed specifically for everyday use by adults without formal training in mental health.
This guide empowers people to step in when someone is struggling-to listen, stabilize apparent distress, and offer effective, meaningful support.
Offering advice and practical coping techniques for a variety of situations-like helping a stranger in a moment of panic or responding to the grief of a friend-the scenarios and checklists throughout the book help readers navigate some of life's most difficult moments with clarity and care.
Author Bio:
George S. Everly, Jr, has served on the faculties of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and Harvard University. He is a former member of the Johns Hopkins Center for Public Health Preparedness. Jeffrey M. Lating is a professor of psychology at Loyola University Maryland. Everly and Lating are the coauthors of A Clinical Guide to the Treatment of the Human Stress Response and Personality-Guided Therapy for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.
This practical manual speaks to a world facing rising anxiety, loneliness, trauma, and loss by offering a simple, evidenceinformed method for fostering resilience and restoring connection.
Everly and Lating emphasize that while no one can say the perfect thing in a crisis, everyone can learn how to offer compassion and help when it matters most.
By making psychological first aid as accessible as physical first aid, this guide acts as an essential toolkit for being there when someone needs you most.

An Essential Guide to Surviving and Thriving in Residential Childcare
Lessons from the frontline on how you'll laugh, love and cry ... all before lunchtime
By Jane Dalgleish
Residential childcare is not just a job - something you clock in and out of and leave behind at the door. It's a vocation - a deeply human, emotional and demanding role that asks those who choose it to show up, every single day, and give of themselves for the sake of vulnerable young people who may never have known stability, trust or unconditional care. Making that commitment is hard for anyone, but it is harder still without a guide. An Essential Guide for Every Residential Childcare Worker aims to be that guide. Written by an expert with more than twenty-five years' experience in a range of frontline roles, it is a practical, jargon-free handbook that interweaves policy and core concepts with practical examples of daily practice.

Systemic Social Work Practice
By Liz Bosanquet
Bridging everyday social work with systemic theory, this book translates familiar ideas into purposeful, intentional and relational practice. Systemic social work is an understanding that we do not work with problem people or problem families. Rather, the issues or needs that our clients present to us, originate and are maintained by the (multiple) systems that they live within. To understand the nature of the issue and what we, as practitioners, need to do, (including how we can help), we need to consider and try to understand the complex functioning of these systems around the issue. Designed for busy professionals, this book is packed with reflexive exercises and examples from direct practice in children's and adult's social work.

This second edition of Mastering the Inner Skills of Psychotherapy presents deliberate practice exercises that help professionals and trainees develop the resilience and flexibility they need to be good therapists.

This book provides clear and practical deliberate practice exercises to help readers identify, develop, and master the inner skills necessary to be effective therapists. It features a clear and concise training plan that is based on the principles of deliberate practice. AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION

Emotionography
Theory, Research, and Practice
By Jonathan Potter, Alexa Hepburn
How does emotion arise in everyday settings? How can it be studied in the real world? In this book, authors Jonathan Potter and Alexa Hepburn offer their distinctive approach to the clinical study of emotion. Emotionography explores emotion as it happens in natural interactions, rather than through scales, experiments, or interviews. Emotion is live, consequential, and interactional, and it can be studied in a way that enables accuracy and offers improvements to clinical practice. The authors' detailed notation system, built on discursive psychology and conversation analysis, accurately captures every emotional nuance of an interaction. Step-by-step case examples show how crying and upset, laughter, and anger can be studied from an emotionographic perspective.

Health Psychology
A Lifespan Approach
By Julie M. Gamble -Turner, Tara J. Cheetham-Blake
Health Psychology: A Lifespan Approach offers a comprehensive exploration of health psychology theory, issues, and applications through a lifespan lens. Its biopsychosocial approach and chronological organisation examine the interactions of health and illness from preconception through to older age, with each chapter focusing on a specific life stage and highlighting mind-body interactions, health behaviours, and relevant interventions. Emphasis is placed on life course health trajectories and how early life experiences - particularly adversity and social inequalities - shape later health outcomes.
Therapy with a Voice
A Cognitive Analytic Approach to the Inner Life of Talk and Conversations
By Steve Potter, Lucy Cutler
Voice is not just sound - it is relational, emotional and embodied. Our voices sit at the intersection between mind, brain, body and culture. Integrating core principles of Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) with dialogic, systemic and narrative approaches, this book positions the voice as central to psychotherapy. The authors show how, by using voice awareness alongside transference mapping and deploying the two with compassion and curiosity, readers can help clients to reclaim silenced or distorted voices and navigate the relational patterns of interaction that shape their own and other's lives. Accessible yet profound, and rich not only in theory but also in tools for everyday practice, Therapy with a Voice is an invitation to find, own and free our voices, and to discover their power in shaping human connection.
Systemic Treatment of Trauma-Impacted Families
A Clinician's Guide to Assessment, Formulation, and Intervention
By Shelley A. Riggs, Laura E. Captari
This book provides a holistic and nuanced metatheoretical perspective to working with trauma in the family system. The authors use a systemic lens, conceptualizing mental health as inextricably intertwined with the dynamics of family relationships, environment, and social context. Here, the authors explore how these interactions can both contribute to trauma and be a vital source of healing. Drawing from almost 40 years of combined clinical work, research, teaching, and theorizing, the authors synthesize key systemic principles and practices relevant to clinical practice with children, couples, and families. Therapists and trainees will find practical guidance for conceptualizing and addressing relational patterns and family system processes to promote healing after trauma. Each chapter begins with a brief illustrative vignette that sets the stage for relevant theory and research.

Manual of HIV Psychiatry
By Luis F. Pereira, Paulo M. G. Sales, John A. Grimaldi, James A. Bourgeois, Mary Ann Adler Cohen
When the AIDS pandemic emerged in 1981, the diagnosis of AIDS was considered terminal. Over the four decades since then, advances in medicine have transformed HIV/AIDS into chronic and manageable if still severe— condition. Despite this success, the annual incidence of HIV remains high, with 1.3 million new HIV infections worldwide and more than 30,000 in the United States. The chapters in this illuminating and concise new manual suggest that this continued high incidence is driven at least in part a lack of a biopsychosocial approach to HIV prevention and care. The authors suggest that destigmatizing mental illness and integrating psychiatric aspects into multispecialty medical treatment, research, and public health policy are essential for the next level of meaningful progress in both prevention of HIV transmission and in the care of persons infected with and affected by HIV. Drawing on the expertise of over 20 contributors, this book is organized into four key sections that examine: * Psychiatric screening, risk assessment, consultation, and evaluation in HIV care, including discussions of HIV testing, prevention, and stigma, * Psychiatric illnesses associated with HIV infection, such as depressive, anxiety, substance-related and addictive, and neurocognitive disorders * The clinical management of psychiatric comorbidities in HIVpositive individuals, with attention to interactions between antiretrovirals and psychotropics, palliative and end-of-life care, and ethical considerations in HIV psychiatry, * The challenges of providing HIV care against the backdrop of the COVID-19

The Anatomy and Physiology of Sports Massage
By Portia B Resnick, Ruth Werner
The Anatomy and Physiology of Sports Massage helps clinicians understand manual therapy techniques, ensuring treatment plans are aligned with desired client outcomes. It combines anatomy and physiology concepts to explain the what and why behind manual therapy methods. Apply anatomy and physiology concepts to improve your manual therapy practice. To maximize treatment outcomes from manual therapy, you must understand both anatomy and the physiological response of the body to various techniques.
The Anatomy and Physiology of Sports Massage guides you through this process by combining anatomical landmarks for palpation with the function of the muscles to help you pair specific treatment techniques with the intended response. You’ll get guidance on different types of manual therapies and their role in recovery from exercise as well as in treating and preventing chronic musculoskeletal injuries.
Photos throughout the book demonstrate hands-on treatments for each area of the body and are overlaid with anatomical illustrations, making it easy to pinpoint the muscles targeted by each therapy. The massage treatments are accompanied by explanations of how to perform the techniques, and descriptions of each muscle outline the origin, insertion, and action of the muscle at the joint, along with stressor considerations that are important to consider as you work with an athlete.

We Need to Talk About Autism and ParentCarer Blame
A resource for parent-carers of autistic young people and associated professionals
By Alice Running
Parents of autistic children are often subject to scrutiny of their parenting strategies. At best this can be exhausting and intrusive; at worst it can lead to formal accusations of harm. The consequence is a society where autistic families are unable to access the correct services for their children, increasing risk of family burnout and breakdown. Based on the author's lived experience, this book looks at the different ways blame can manifest and how parents can manage these moments.
