Bringing Psychotherapy to Life Through Caring Connections, 1e
AllenAPA
296 pages
ISBN: 9798894550909
November 2025
The health care system privileges specialized therapies designed to treat psychiatric disorders, but many patients want to talk freely about troubles in their lives, and therapists want to enable them do so. This common interest requires a sense of safety promoted by a caring relationship. The first part of the book includes an evidence-based critique of short-term therapies bearing scientific credentials that dominate the field. Do we really need hundreds of them? Meanwhile, a half-century of research attests to the overriding importance of the therapeutic relationship and therapists' interpersonal skills. Our humanity looms large here; science's majesty does not entitle it to a monarchy. Cognitive-behavior therapy is too narrow; we should give full weight to the value of emotional experience and nonverbal connection in therapy and in life. The philosophical shift advocated in the first part of the book includes a view of psychotherapy as ethical-moral work, setting the stage for an ethic of care explicated in the second part of the book. This ethic entails creating caring connections. The book integrates infant research with attachment theory and relational psychoanalytic perspectives to elucidate the development of a capacity to care. Therapists foster reciprocal emotional connections through attention, empathy, and recognition. Verbal and nonverbal connections play coequal roles. Much of care lies beyond words, from infancy onward. Conversational in tone and sufficiently broad in scope to apply to therapists in many professional disciplines, Bringing Psychotherapy to Life Through Caring Connections illuminates the common elements that form the experience of connection in psychotherapy and beyond—experience that is essential to flourishing in life.
Inflammation in the Brain and the Body, 1e
MatthewsAPA
264 pages
ISBN: 9781615374267
November 2025
Despite the wealth of evidence showing that psychological conditions can affect physical health—for example, the impact of stress on blood pressure—it is not uncommon, even now, for disorders of the mind and body to be viewed and treated independently of one another. But what if the same inflammatory processes that are responsible for heart failure, diabetes, renal failure, allergies, and many other medical conditions were the root cause of most major psychiatric disorders? This is the premise of this paradigm-shifting new book, which proposes approaching mental illnesses as disorders of the whole body, not just the brain. It reviews the extensive emerging evidence that inflammation contributes to the pathophysiology of not only medical disorders but also mood, anxiety, psychotic, cognitive, and trauma-related conditions.

Alienation, Conscious and Unconscious: Reflections on Psychoanalysis and Sociopolitical Issues, 1e
HinshelwoodKarnac Books Limited
336 pages
ISBN: 9781800133136
November 2025
R. D. Hinshelwood draws from five decades of experience to present a collection of papers on the relationships between psychoanalysis and politics. Divided into four parts, each chapter begins with a short introduction from the author to contextualise the featured paper and each part ends on an in-depth discussion with Giuseppe Caruso to clarify and advance understanding of the issues raised. They discuss the relevance of psychoanalysis, the science of the unconscious, and the numerous political topics addressed. Politics involves conscious debate but it is inevitably intruded upon by unconscious determinants that key in with social attitudes and issues. Hinshelwood draws upon the theory and work of Melanie Klein, W. R. Bion, and Herbert Rosenfeld, as well as his work with and on organisations and therapeutic communities. His writing is imbued with an acute sensibility to social and political matters and engages not only those with an interest in psychoanalysis but also those interested in the social sciences and cultural studies.
Identity and the Foundational Myth: Psychoanalytic Insights into Gender Distress, 1e
EvansKarnac Books Limited
240 pages
ISBN: 9781800133884
November 2025
The concept of identity is complex and affected by personal and cultural pressures. No more so than during adolescence, a time when we endeavour to find out who we truly are as our minds and bodies go through many changes, we start to disidentify with our families, and we are exposed to group attitudes and pressures. For many adolescents, puberty can feel like an unwanted betrayal by their own bodies. Their changing physicality seems to pull them further away from the self they imagine or wish to be and they struggle to reconcile their physical form with their sense of self. This book explores gender distress through the lens of early childhood development with a focus on and elaboration of developmental interpretations and corresponding psychotherapeutic approaches. It builds on the work of Evans' previous book, co-authored with Susan Evans, Gender Dysphoria: A Therapeutic Model for Working with Children, Adolescents and Young Adults(2021). As with his first book, it is based on continuous learning gained through clinical work with different patient groups. The analyst's role is to remain curious and help patients explore and understand themselves in every aspect of their lives.
