The Mental Health Handbook

Printed handouts that can be freely copied have had an important part to play in therapeutic intervention. In this material, the author has assembled a collection of handouts to cover the most essential areas of mental health: anxiety, depression, changing habits, and behaviour and assertion. Professionals from all disciplines should find this publication helpful because it provides instruction sheets that are organized for quick access in one location. All of these sheets are designed to be freely photocopied and handed to clients so as to supplement treatment programmes through home practice. These sheets include graded practice sheets, checklists, behavioural symptoms questionaires, rating scales, home assignments, analysis sheets, goal plans and self-monitoring exercises. Designed for ease of use, these handouts have all been tried and tested by the author in his work as a clinical psychologist. The following gives an indication of the contents: anxiety - arose reaction, positive self-talk, panic attacks; stress - problem solving, time management, goal planning; depression - loneliness, emotional disturbance, irrational beliefs; changing habits and behaviour - breaking a habit, smoking, weight control, sexual difficulties; and assertion - passive behaviour, aggression, negotiating skills.

Politics & Government

A selection of structured picture exercises with the aim of helping children and adults to express, communicate and deal more effectively with their emotions in everyday life. "Draw on Your Emotions" contains exercises and pictures specifically designed to ease the process of talking about feelings and to facilitate the expression of the many layers of experience. It should help to promote a new clarity of thought as a first step towards positive action and to bring seemingly huge, unmanageable and unsolvable problems into a new perspective. It also offers opportunities to reherse other ways of functioning by trying out alternatives safely on paper in exercises that can be adapted for any age range and ability.

These activities have been found to be particularly useful when working with groups of mentally ill and infirm elderly people. The text is photocopiable and shold be of use to care workers (within the health and social service, as well as in the public sector), plus professional offices and libraries.

Sociology

A guide to the psychological, social, behavioural and emotional problems created by head injury. It is written in a non-technical, jargon-free style and addresses the medical problems, rehabilitation and adjustment of individuals and families to the realities of life after a head injury. The author's presentation of essential factual information and research enables the reader to gain a greater understanding of head injury, and a number of case histories offer valuable insights into the problem. It offers practical advice to home carers and family members who have to look after a head injury victim; also for the patients themselves, therapists and medical staff. Topics covered include: understanding coma; rehabilitation and recovery; cognitive re-training; managing emotional and behavioural problems; and returning to work and family life.
