Book excerpt: It has often been assumed that people with developmental disabilities are incapable of expressing or acquiring the level of emotional insight and sensitivity necessary to engage in any kind of therapy. Authentic Dialogue with Persons who are Developmentally Disabled explodes this myth, challenging mental health professionals and families to engage in genuine dialogue with people who are developmentally disabled. Rather than avoiding painful topics, such as awareness of the loss of a normal life, this book shows it is possible to confront these difficult and emotive issues within a therapeutic environment. The author, Jennifer Hill, follows the progress of several developmentally disabled individuals who participated in her group psychotherapy sessions over the course of several months and were able to discuss their feelings of sorrow, grief, jealousy and joy with the group. Offering rare insight into what it means to have a developmental disability from the perspective of those with the condition, Hill suggests a hopeful alternative to many of the programs currently on offer to the developmentally disabled. Thought-provoking and refreshing, this book will be of interest to social workers, psychologists, and educators in the fields of developmental disability and mental health, as well as families of individuals with developmental disabilities.

Book excerpt: With a variety of case examples and contributions from experienced clinicians, this book introduces Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) in practical, user-friendly language, and for the first time guides readers on how to use it with people with intellectual disabilities. CAT is increasingly recognised as an effective approach for working with people with intellectual disabilities. It focuses on observing and describing typical patterns of how the client relates to others, how they behave in relationships and how they see themselves. By considering how these patterns first developed and how they can be revised in a more constructive direction, CAT can encourage change to occur as the result of healthier relationships. The contributors describe in straightforward terms how CAT may be used with people with intellectual disabilities, and provide CAT tools adapted specifically for this client group. CAT and autism, CAT with people with intellectual disabilities in forensic settings and CAT with survivors of domestic abuse who have intellectual disabilities are also explored in detail. This is essential reading for any clinician wishing to use CAT with people with intellectual disabilities, including psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, social workers and support workers, as well as professionals across forensic services.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of original essays, from both established scholars and newcomers, takes up a recent debate in philosophy, sociology, and disability studies on whether disability is intrinsically a harm that lowers a person's quality of life. While this is a new question in disability scholarship, it also touches on one of the oldest philosophical questions: what is the good human life? Historically, philosophers have not been interested in the topic of disability, and when they are it is usually only in relation to questions such as euthanasia, abortion, or the moral status of disabled people. Consequently disability has been either ignored by moral and political philosophers or simply equated with a bad human life, a life not worth living. This collection takes up the challenge that disability poses to basic questions of political philosophy and bioethics, among others, by focusing on fundamental issues and practical implications of the relationship between disability and the good human life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book defines and galvanizes a new approach to education through refocusing it on human relations. Following on the heels of lackluster accountability- and choice-based reforms, this approach suggests that meaningful educational change depends on recognition that relations between students and teachers and among students are critically important. Stakeholders must create intentional policies and practices that allow the relational side of education to flourish. Focusing on the PK-12 educational system, Pedagogy of Relation provides support for the claim that relations are the basis for successful learning—that education is a profoundly social activity—and to push educational reform in a new direction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a step toward encouraging a partnership between the church and the hospital for treating and evaluating patients with mental illness. Society is calling for participation of both in the process of healing the mentally ill and disabled. Pastoral Care of the Mentally Disabled addresses the perceived roles of clergy and physicians for healing the whole person, stressing that this best occurs when medicine and ministry are yoked. The contributing authors establish new tasks that must be developed to meet the needs of the whole person in the process of mending minds (medicine) and mending souls (ministry). Before Pastoral Care of the Mentally Disabled, there was a scarcity of interchange between religion and psychiatry. The sixteen contributors to this book encourage a partnership toward evaluating and treating patients with mental illness with chapters on such topics as: the role of faith in mental healing the more of mental health in spiritual growth personal history of Anton Boison, a leader in the pastoral care movement who suffered from mental illness practical application of concepts to a clinical case a partnership model for tending the mentally disabled Because this book encourages the working together of those in ministry and medicine, professionals from both fields--chaplains, pastoral counselors, psychotherapists, supervisors and students in clinical pastoral education, social workers, and clergy--can find much insight into healing the mentally disabled.
