When Death Enters the Therapeutic Space: Existential Perspectives in Psychotherapy and Counselling

Routledge, 2008. Softcover. Very Good Condition. 9780415416559 Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, some light corner creasing and wear to pages and covers. "Though mourning and intimations of mortality often enter the therapeutic space, few psychotherapy books focus on this. At the same time, the therapeutic input into UK palliative services is often not strategically thought through, not the least because of voluntary sector involvement with NHS services. This book is therefore a welcome exploration of therapeutic practice when dealing with death... As a consultant practitioner in the field, I can see myself using this book as part of an educational programme. It is a valuable contribution to the ongoing development of this specialism within the therapeutic field." - Ana Draper, Mortality, Vol. 14, No. 4, November 2009 254 pages. Quantity Available: 1.

The Development of Persistent Criminality

Academic, 2012. Hardcover. Fine Condition. 9780195310313 Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, slight wear to jacket. The Development of Persistent Criminality addresses one of the most pressing problems of modern criminology: Why do some individuals become chronic, persistent offenders? Because chronic offenders are responsible for the majority of serious crimes committed, understanding which individuals will become chronic offenders is an important step in helping us develop interventions. This volume bridges the gap between the criminological literature, which has recently focused on the existence of various criminal trajectories, and the developmental psychology literature, which has focused on risk factors for conduct problems and delinquency. In it, chapters by some of the most widely published authors in this area unite to contribute to a knowledge base which will be the next major milestone in the field of criminology. The authors of this volume represent a unique gathering of international, interdisciplinary social problem so that we can prevent the enormous human and economic costs associated with serious crimes, these authors share their insights and findings on topics such as families and parenting, poverty, stressful life events, social support, biology and genetics, early onset, foster care, educational programs for juvenile offenders, deterrence, and chronic offending among females. Significant attention is paid throughout to longitudinal studies of offending. Several authors also share new theoretical approaches to understanding persistence and chronicity in offending, including an expansion of the conceptualization of the etiology of self-control, a discussion of offender resistance to social control, a dynamic developmental systems approach to understanding offending in young adulthood, and the application of Wikström's situational action theory to persistent offending. 562 pages.
