A Psychologist's Casebook

Cases from Practice Used to Support Teaching Mental Health Practitioners

Beschreibung

Drawing on examples from clinical practice, this book presents evidence based psychological principles in an applied context to support effective practice in the helping professions.

This book takes a narrative approach, presenting a collection of individual cases to complement the traditionally theory heavy education and training of mental health professionals. It demonstrates easy to learn, practical skills found invaluable in supporting and treating a broad range of clients, from pre verbal children to the elderly. The case examples are designed to encourage and motivate a more comprehensive understanding of general psychological terms, which is further supported by callouts, reflection prompts, and extension exercises. Rich with examples from the authors' many years of clinical psychology practice and graduate teaching, this book is written for students and practitioners alike.

Rezensionen

If you want to know more about how to do the work of professional care-giving, to learn more about real-life psychology underpinning effective care-work, and or to further foster your understanding of giving and receiving care as a reflective practitioner, this is a must read text for you. It offers direct access and refreshing insight into the world of mental health drawing upon a wide range of rich experience. It should inspire student, professional or interested reader alike in facilitating further their own development, personal thinking and relevant reflective practice. I suggest this is a book to own, use and re-use as a tool for teaching and a practical source for what is a serial series of learning conversation about the work of mental health and pastoral care.

Professor Emeritus Stephen Rayner, Birmingham Newman University, UK

There is something profoundly humbling about being called to serve others. Not just as a teacher to teach, or a psychologist to treat (both of which imply a certain status in the relationship) but to share, sit with, support and serve others in their moments of need. Through rich case explorations and thought provoking questions, Dr Esther Roodenburg continues to serve and help other psychologists to serve.
